@dnanian shared family laptop suddenly decided photos would download all original photos in all our accounts and promptly ran out of disk space. (There’s a separate Mac with big external storage that already does that).
No clue or notice that the default changed on the shared laptop. Two hours lost freeing up disk space.
@ChemicalEyeGuy CSB investigates AFTER an incident. They sometimes have insights to prevent future incidents.
I don’t think you understand their remit if you think the current admin somehow could have prevented this.
Their previous investigation reports are very informative. I suggest you read some.

NFPA 30 requires a weak seam in oil storage tanks so they rupture in a controlled fashion (near the top). Could be similar thinking.

@colorblindcowboy yes. I assume it means they are comfortable enough that they aren’t worried about having to get up rapidly.
@daringfireball DuckDuckGo did this to me yesterday. I wanted to refine my search so typed it into the text field at the bottom of the search results.
Got an immediate warning from my work filter that we aren’t allowed to interact with their AI. Work has rules about that so we don’t share confidential information.
The placement of the new AI text box, and the fact that the cursor is already there, is going to get a lot of people in trouble with their jobs.

Good article explains the rampant speculation to file permits for sites with no firm tenants.
Phantom Data Centers Didn’t Break the Power Grid—They Proved It Was Already Broken
The requests flooding interconnection queues come from data center developers, private equity funds, land brokers, and shell companies, many of whom lack site control, a construction timeline, or even a signed customer. They secure a queue position, bet that powered land will attract a buyer, and wait. The industry calls them "phantom data centers," and the grid isn't prepared to handle them.
@daringfireball now iOS messages has tiny grey text above the conversation saying whether the conversation is end-to-end encrypted. Guess what- for some people that is a new annoying thing to complain about.
@hotdogsladies but still a remarkable thing to have happened.
@hotdogsladies spacecraft do several additional burns to adjust their trajectory. And have an abort or backup plan in case the burn doesn’t achieve the desired result. So not sure the analogy holds.
