"Trump's man in Ottawa doesn't understand why Canadians are so frustrated right now"

"But does Hoekstra understand the frustration of Canadians who feel they don't deserve this treatment from their country's largest trading partner, neighbour and ally?

"No," he fires back instantly. "We put tariffs on everybody in the world.""

Yeah, it's a biiiig mystery why Canadians are so frustrated right now.

O dia começou uma merda. Na verdade, começou no fim do dia de ontem quando eu fiz uma cagada e alguns arquivos PUF, desapareceram. Por sorte, corri pras IA e as IA me ajudaram a resolver. Não resolveu 100%, mas 95%, o que já tá ótimo, e isso a um custo de 2 centavos de dólar. De repente, eu conto como foi, se vocês quiserem saber, com todo caminho das pedras. Enquanto isso, vejam o que eu postei durante a semana. […]

Hmm... Manitoba receives a lot of sunshine, but could soon face a major power shortage. Could the province roll out more solar power projects to harness that energy? Nah, that would make too much sense. Time to rely on fossil fuels more!

Why isn’t there more solar power in one of Canada’s sunniest provinces? | The Narwhal

The electricity grid in Canada’s second-sunniest province is strained — but Manitoba says solar power is not the solution

Das ist nicht nur absolut lächerlich von den Bahn-Admins, das ist auch noch so dermaßen dilletantisch gelöst worden.

Da fragt man sich, aus welchem Hobbykurs die alle kommen.

Und jetzt die spannende Frage: Auf welchen Plattformen laufen wohl zentrale Komponenten unserer Telematikinfrastruktur und ePA‑Backends? Setzen wir im Rückgrat des Gesundheitswesens wirklich konsequent auf minimalistische, gehärtete Plattformen – oder eher auf bekannte Enterprise‑Stacks, bei denen die Komfortzone vor der Sicherheitsarchitektur kommt? Dreimal dürft ihr raten. #facepalm

So, remember MS munting the security defence in their Edge built-in password manager? Now they're going to fix it.

But ... they're talking a big talk about 'defence-in-depth':

> Even for issues that don’t meet the security criteria, Edge invests heavily in defense-in-depth.

Though they have initially invested (it was according to them done by design the way it is) into making it as bad as it is. After all, the original Chromium Edge is based on has a better defence. So they have invested actual resources into making it worse for their users, to now (that people have seen the crap) invest again in fixing up their browser again. #FacePalm !!!

Saved passwords in Edge memory: what we’re changing and why

Browsers help protect some of the most sensitive data people have, including passwords. That’s why we continuously review how Edge handles that data, and where we can further reduce exposure through defense-in-depth improvements as part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative (SFI).
