On a completely different note - 3D printing...

For Christmas I bought myself an anycubic Kobra 3 Max, with the "ACE Pro" unit for filament switching, etc... had the first case where the automatic filament swap was used yesterday... it went very smoothly, with one slight hiccup...
When they spool the filament, they typically will either tape the inner end to the spool, or they will bend the end so that it doesn't come out... This will prevent the filament from releasing from the spool at the end, so instead of the system realizing that it has reached the end, and automatically switching to the next spool, it realizes that it has a jam, and needs intervention

a quick clip with the cutters, and it then used up the last bit, and auto-swapped.

Maybe that's why they use the cardboard core around the plastic spool... so that you can get in ahead of time to clip the end?

Dear CDW... please go read NIST SP 800-63, and update your password requirements. Specifically, sp800-63B, Section 3.1.1
I'll make it easy for you, here's a link https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b.html#password

but to make it even easier for you...
3.1.1.2.2 : Verifiers and CSPs SHOULD permit a maximum password length of at least 64 characters.
3.1.1.2.3: Verifiers and CSPs SHOULD accept all printing ASCII [RFC20] characters and the space character in passwords.
3.1.1.2.5: Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types) for passwords

of the 7 rules you have (I count length as 2 rules... minimum and maximum) only 2 of the rules follow the guidelines...
minimum 8 characters, and "can't be your username"

Fix your rules...

To the spectrum sales person who responded when I asked about symmetric Gig, "Nobody needs gig upload at home, 100 Meg upload is more than enough, and really, nobody needs Gig download at home"
My google-fu is failing me… what would you call this failure mode? And any thoughts on root cause/repair?
Dear Microsoft... Really!?!
Why does this not fill me with confidence
okay, there's something I didn't have on my bingo card today...
CISA added 4 KEV entries for Flash Player...
Why would you do this? make it easier for people to contact you... send a carrier Pidgeon? sure... that should open a ticket!
I love (not) microwave links…
