Holy crap. Malware hidden in a strand of DNA hijacks the computer that analyzes that particular gene sequence.

We're going to live in a very weird world man.

Biohackers Encoded Malware in a Strand of DNA

Researchers planted a working hacker exploit in a physical strand of DNA.

Another good sniff test is if your name contains a special character like an apostrophe or a hyphen. If you do, then your signup experience is basically a "Van Halen brown M&M's" test for whether they've built a good website or not

The Data Transfer Project (https://datatransferproject.dev/) is definitely a progress in positive direction. Especially after open standards were kinda forgotten in public discourse for about 2 decades. But it's worth reminding that data portability is only a precursor to data interoperability or, better yet, federation. Ideally, the data would be completely decoupled from the services using them as e.g. https://solid.mit.edu/ aims to achieve.
