What do you do with dead airpods? I knew I shouldn't just throw them in the trash. My county has e-waste disposal but it is limited to certain types of devices and earbuds are not among them. Googling found that Apple has a free e-waste recycle program and will even provide you a prepaid UPS label to return it. This is great! https://www.apple.com/lae/reuse-recycle/ So you can get rid of those dead airpods guilt free. "It's expired and gone to meet its maker!" -Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch #ewaste

Be expert at something.
Be interested in a lot of things.
Be curious about everything.
Every few years — or whenever you’re getting bored:
Deepen and broaden your expertise.
Expand your interests.
Unleash your curiosity.
And whatever you’re learning, write about it.

In which I distill a lot of casual pub chats I've had with friends into a layperson's guide to the #OnlineSafetyAct. What it is, the problems it causes, and why you should definitely care.
