AI taking over everything has been literally all the talk for the past year.. It can generate realistic videos from a few lines of prompt.. and yet still in 2024 I cant just open a utf-8 encoded *.csv file in excel without it completely banjaxing all the accented letters. 😡

One of these was opened in Excel, the grandaddy of spreadsheet software can you guess which one? That's right, the one that looks like a bag of ass.

Had to do The Storm Ceiling effect for this year's #Halloween decorations, complete with a few Harry Potter floating candles.

I'm gessing getting it down is going to be harder than it was to build and put up.

The system that many schools use to store children's data AND parent's Banking data uses a only PIN!

So, a 4 DIGIT password with no 2FA?

are you serious?

I admire the get up and go, the can do attitude of the salesperson who wants to sell me a garage door when I've no garage.

Fair play Nigel.

The problem with Single Sign-on.

I created an account maybe 3yrs ago, I cant remember if I created it with Google, Facebook, Twitter or Apple.

If I had created a standard account, then password managers recognise the domain and let you know which email address to use. But that doesnt happen for SSO

Guess wrong now & there's a possibility it creates a new account.

I wish BitWarden/LastPass etc could auto-detect and remember which SSO you click at signup time for a domain.

updated to the new version of jetBrains PHPStorm and instantly get hit with a warning that a few of my plugins will be deactivated unless I paying new licenses I never needed before... this doesnt feel right;
Wise words from a not very wise priest.
