YES!!

I successfully repaired my Apple 40SC Tape backup drive by creating a new 3D printed capstan for it. I then was able to recover some lost Apple / Claris engineer's goodies from 36 years ago! 😮

I recently received an email that at first glance appeared to be a well-crafted phishing message, warning that my Microsoft Entra ID was going to expire in a month if I didn't make a purchase. The only piece of information in the message was my supposed Entra ID.

After checking with Microsoft it appears this automated message is legitimate, and it is in reference to a Microsoft Teams trial account I created for a day and then abandoned. But apart from the Entra ID, which isn't mentioned in any prior communications from Microsoft, there is zero context for the user.

How hard would it be for Microsoft to include just a tiny bit more information in each message? Like, "Hey, this message is about an account created 5 years ago, for Teams" or something. Otherwise these marketing messages train users to fall for phishing scams.

Control Panel 1.0 -

Pour célébrer la naissance de mon enfant, j'ai brodé le panneau de contrôle du premier Macintosh.

À partir d'une capture d'écran, j'ai créé le modèle à broder, en mettant son nom dans la barre de titre, sa date et son poids de naissance. J'ai mis plusieurs mois à le réaliser, et il est né quelques semaines avant que j'arrive à le terminer, ce qui tombe bien parce que je devait de toute façon attendre la naissance pour les informations de dernière minute.

Je suis impatiente de partager un jour avec lui l'origine de cette œuvre de Susan Kare.

Vous pouvez jouer avec l'original (dans une émulation) dans ce très bel article de Marcin Wichary.
