@siracusa Thank you John! This works really well - I had forgotten about this option.

The only annoyance so far is that the the locations of the photos aren't enumerated in the iOS UI until you “enumerate" the photo by clicking on the info button. Doesn't scale well to 100k photos :)

That said, it's a minor annoyance that I can live with. Thank you!

@caseyliss  🙏🏻 Thank you. Cancer sucks -- my unsolicited advice is use mineral sunscreen and be careful in the sun!

@atpfm Unfortunately, I have the occasion to actually use backups of my photos. My wife recently passed away, and she was the keeper of the photos. I'm at the stage of things where I’m starting to at least think about dealing with low priority loose ends.

What's the best way to "merge" or consolidate photo libraries? I think I want to move everything into my library, preferably preserving as much metadata as possible. #askatp

@waldoj Sure. The CIO of a US State with a billion dollar IT spend makes less than the dude setting up laptops at a FAANG.

@JosephMenn @drewharwell This has been a thing for a long time. “Anonymized” subrogation data, prescription and hospital can be used to infer stuff.

One day, we received a FedEx package with an Enfamil starter kit. Not coincidentally, my wife had been nearly died from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

As long as pharmaceutical reps have scorecards of physician prescribing practices, HIPAA is protecting you against gossiping receptionists and little else.

@messick @kottke Same thing happened in my son’s 10/11 year old league, except a team tried using this to move the ball across the court with 1.3s remaining, and behind by 3.

There’s no 3 pointers at this level, so the play is roll the ball, score and get fouled I guess. I’m all for loopholes, but it was obnoxious... the 1 second of clock took 7 minutes and chewed up the next game’s practice time.

Usually the gotcha is that people with AD based identity don’t have tools for identifying the bad passwords from breaches, etc. You can either spend some dollars OR have complex passwords.

@[email protected] @drewharwell The political grandstanding is the issue. Often these bans are legislation or executive orders .

Some random accountant doesn’t need TikTok on their device, but it may make sense for an event manager, parks employee or public affairs/marketing person. The police and child protective services may need it for investigative purposes.

There’s nothing known in the public domain that makes TikTok different than a game or other undesired app.
