For what it’s worth, HIBP reports my Wired-unique email is in the Wired data breach.

A hacker claims to have breached Condé Nast and leaked an alleged WIRED database containing more than 2.3 million subscriber records, while also warning that they plan to release up to 40 million additional records for other Condé Nast properties. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hacker-claims-to-leak-wired-database-with-23-million-records/

Microsoft’s email service blocking Microsoft’s marketing email about Copilot and GPT-5 as “High-confidence Phish” is amusing.

PSA for Discourse forum admins:

If you have an instance that depends on the former discoursehosting/discourse-migratepassword plugin, you’re gonna want to make sure that plugin reference is updated to communiteq/discourse-migratepassword or remove the plugin from your app.yml.

When DiscourseHosting renamed to Communiteq, the plugin repository moved and a researcher just recently created a new repo under the old name, which will console log and JS alert a “you’ve been hacked” message.

Whoever at ENISA prepared this chart took creative liberties with presenting these numbers…

I should lobby my employer for a dedicated “Windows 11 User Scream Room” because right now I need a padded screaming room.

And Microsoft wants ~everyone to use this by October.

And now I restart and my desktop is set to Windows Spotlight because… apparently restarting my PC without giving in and pressing the power button after 10 minutes is a load-bearing part of preserving a long-saved background preference?

Sigh, who broke Windows this time?

I enter a UNC path in the File Explorer address bar or the Run dialog and… nothing.

So now I’m restarting my PC, and it’s stuck spinning at the Restarting black screen for minutes on end.

I just want to work. My user experience would be far better if this software worked, not if it gets Mica material or the WinUI 3 treatment.

Thanks to your amazing support, our team is funded for the next year. This is a huge relief and lets us focus on building a truly self-sustaining OSL.
