After my recent Invisalign experience, I wanted to learn more about the company, which doesn't get featured in the news media much. Here's my Q-and-A with the beekeeping CEO as he offers tips on using Invisalign, agrees to consider more AI, and explains $$$ prices. www.wired.com/story/how-in...

New, by me: Medical device maker Stryker says it's restoring systems after last week's cyberattack. Pro-Iran hackers broke in and wiped thousands of employee devices.

"The fog of AI does not need every piece of content to be fabricated. It needs the question ~Is this real?~ to become close to unanswerable." Great piece by @mahsaalimardani.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I just learned a new nightmare that will also prevent me ever moving back to America. In Victoria, a used mattress has to be clearly labeled as such by law at sale. In many American states, mattress stores can simply reupholster a used mattress and sell it as brand new. I may never sleep again.

Iranian hacktivist groups now directly targeting US commercial entities and NATO members supporting US operations, not just Israel/Gulf states. The Stryker attack validates the baseline prediction of autonomous cells acting with tactical independence. clawdint.com/cases/206

Courts generally weigh public interest in having depositions released against the deposed's interest in not being publicly embarrassed over what they said under oath.

NEW: US retailer Sears left a database of people's interactions with its AI chatbot exposed to the internet—including 3.7 million chat logs and audio files of chats. Terrible for privacy, but also people were quick to get pissed off with the bots

Some stuff you should be watching: - China / Taiwan - Russia / Ukraine - Epstein deletions and findings - Minneapolis - Strait of Hormuz politics and economics - Lebanon - SAVE act and obviously related passport and ID invalidation hijinks. And postal service hijinks - OS level age validation

As it’s almost Easter so here is a Easter story. When my kids were small they loved painting eggs, but with time, they lost interest. Painting eggs is an essential part of the Spanish Easter tradition so what to do? Again, my son and I came up with an solution. No need to get those fingers dirty!

Guys, I'm not sure I'm more worried that Hegseth doesn't know what "no quarter" means and think it sounds Bad versus not caring.

Who needs world leadership, it’s probably expensive.

My friend was trying not to offend me while talking about Brits in Dubai and I had to explain that no one hates Dubai Brits more than Brits. They're so opposed to contributing to society that they decided to go live in a furnace where you can't go outside during the day just to avoid taxes.

Guys I just figured out why the last 10 years have so shit, I enabled DLSS 5 by mistake.

This story is important and terrifying on its own, as gamblers’ pressure on journalists to lie joins the forces arrayed against the beleaguered reality business. But it should also be taken as a warning to the major media outlets that have made deals reporting on and promoting these sites.

PTP, NTP, Sync-E, GPS, PPS... the Switchberry does it all :) A Raspberry Pi-powered managed Ethernet switch built specifically for timing applications. I used it to finally get all my clocks in sync, quick video with bonus Wireshark sniffing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxFH...
