Ich war dann mal shoppen.

I’ve been using a Bluetooth mouse with my laptop because the trackpad is getting a bit janky (fingers get stuck… which is a whole other issue). Usually I have a Logitech mouse that has back/forward buttons, but I found an Apple Magic Mouse at a yard sale for literally $1 and have been trying it out.

I miss back/forward buttons the most! I feel like this mouse should be able to do a two-finger swipe for the gesture, but alas, it doesn’t work for me out of the box. :(

My upcoming work week only has about three and a half days’ worth of time available for my usual work. The entirety of Tuesday, meaning from 5 a.m. to about 9 p.m., has me serving as a poll worker, the seventh time I will have worked as an Arlington election officer. And then I’ll have to set business aside by mid-afternoon Friday to start my journey to Lisbon for Web Summit.

10/30/2023: President Biden Issues Executive Order on AI: Here’s What It Does, PCMag

I had to write this off the White House’s announcement early Monday of this executive order instead of the actual text of the EO on AI, because that nearly 20,000-word document did not get posted to the White House’s site until late Monday afternoon.

10/31/2023: Lightning Lives On in Apple’s Input Devices, Most of Its Headphones, PCMag

Yes, you saw this post last month. I offered to write a new top for it once Apple failed to update its gruesomely obsolete Lightning-required input devices after announcing a new iMac lineup, then my editor and I settled on doing a more comprehensive rewrite of that Sept. 13 post.

10/31/2023: Senators: We Need a New Agency, Not Just an Executive Order, to Rein in AI, PCMag

I bikeshared over to the Brookings Institution to see this panel discussion advocating a bill that would set up a Digital Platform Commission to oversee large tech firms. That easy commute got me the added reward of some second-breakfast pastries and professional banter afterwards.

11/2/2023: Intuit to Scrap Mint and Move Its Users To Credit Karma, PCMag

I had seen discussions of this impending forced migration on Reddit, and then Intuit announced it in a post on its Mint blog on the afternoon of Halloween. Because I flew up to New York the next morning to cover the Brooklyn 6G Summit, I had to pluck out some free time between panels at that telecom event to quiz Intuit and then write this post.

11/4/2023: AI Pros: We’re on the Right Track (If You Ignore Some Companies), PCMag

My second flight of the week took me to Boston for the International Association of Privacy Professionals’ AI Governance event. Although I had to miss the first day’s lineup of talks, thanks to the first-world problem of having a surplus of conferences to cover, the last day’s panels yielded more than enough material for this post.
