I’ve had lots of fun with the very affordable Pi Zero 2w. Will pick up a few more before they disappear.

The illustrator tools are terrible. But removing and replacing backgrounds in Photoshop has been spectacular with one caveat - they are less great if you give it any instruction. If you use the generative fills with prompts the results are not at all great. However, if you leave the prompt blank it does a bang-up job matching the existing background set / scene.

Equally impressive has been generating parts of photos that are missing when extending the canvas size.

It tends to work best with photos that are “inside” (interiors) with strong geometric cues - but it has expertly matched lighting, backgrounds and their level of focus (or lack thereof).

As someone who’s used their tooling and the generative tooling… I have to admit trying to push its limits for giggles. It is VERY conservative already so I don’t see why they’d need additional moderation privileges.

This is an awful change.

As someone who’s experienced the same thing, some of the messages I received were shockingly well written.

The fake “find my” site they tried to use to convince me to log into my iCloud account was wildly convincing, if not for the index.php at the end of the URL - something Apple would never configure for service endpoints.

They continued to try - but never threatening. However I never engaged and eventually they just stopped trying.

The Option 121 attack is a concern on networks where you don’t.

Exactly where you’d want a VPN. Cafes, hotels, etc.

Hard to tell from first glance but my guess would be this is fallout from the ongoing xz drama. Here: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4

I’m on iOS and do the same thing.

The WireGuard app has a setting to “connect on demand”. It’s in the individual connections/configurations.

You can then set either included or excluded SSIDs. There’s also an option to always connect when you’re on mobile/cellular data.

I imagine the Android app is similar.

UTM will run full fledged linux just fine on Apple Silicon.

Sharing host file systems is still tougher than Virtualbox, but time and adoption will remedy that.

I dislike slack more than anyone I know. Awful tool that’s nearly impossible to use well at any scale.

But if you’re seeing gendered pronoun slack bot text (ex. one about avoiding using “guys”) those were added by someone at your org.

I was at such an org.

I was at another where slackbot and the ability for anyone to modify it was completely disabled.

Didn’t make slack any better though.
