AppleCare One is a scam if you compare the details to individual per-device insurance.

I don't think the last one will happen. They extended his contract another couple years, so I think they've got him for 4 or 5 now.

I'm actually disappointed that I've hid myself from the Internet so well that I never get pig butchering hook messages.

I'm curious about this as well. Though not traditional IT or development, the nature of my job requires me to be "on" at all times while I'm working so I can respond quickly to issues, and there's always a ton going on. Transitioning out to something with a similar amount of action (and pay) would be very difficult.

I'd stick with Signal. Take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdM-XTRyC9c

Happy to see people are getting loud about this. Unfortunately not surprising that it's happening given the harsh change in political climate.

Signal made a direct statement to the bug bounty hunter, which was provided to 404 Media and published. So the statement given to the bug bounty hunter is the statement from Signal.

CloudFlare already fixed the issue and Signal provided a statement to 404 Media: https://www.404media.co/cloudflare-issue-can-leak-chat-app-users-broad-location/

There's nothing for them to say. It's a problem with CloudFlare, so CloudFlare needs to fix it.

No employer wants brainstorming. They want results, and they want them "yesterday" (makes me cringe to write that. It's like nails on a chalkboard when I hear it).
Not using ChatGPT now is like not computerizing your business 50 years ago: it's idiotic and puts you at a disadvantage. You won't be so righteous about not using generative AI when your job is at risk because your work output is slower than your colleagues'.
