To my northern neighbours suffering from the current heat wave.

I lived in approx 38C with 90% humidity for 20 years, and I have a few pieces of advice.

1. Don't do anything fast that you can do slow.
2. Umbrellas aren't just for rain. They work for sun, too.
3. Sweat is your friend. Drink lots of liquid, eat and drink things that trigger sweating.

4. Cold showers and baths trigger your body to warm up. Room temp showers work best - and don't bother drying off.

not much hope for this but desperate at this point.  

looking for basically anything remote in cybersecurity.  

i was a SOC Analyst previously and i have a degree, experience, excellent time management etc. #getfedihired

Running a dev beta on a device is always fun... For the most part iOS 27 Dev Beta 1 has been quite stable. However, the biggest issue I've experienced is that my Beats Solo Pros will randomly disconnect.

I'm guessing the issue is related to the improved network switching. Either that, or there is a big issue with Bluetooth connectivity. I'm thinking it's the former since the network switches to 5G right before disconnecting.

It doesn't automatically select the headphones when they disconnect.

I'm not much of a Zelda player, but if you don't think the “Zelda: The Ocarina of Time” is significant to a lot of people, just go look up reaction videos for the announcement. Based on the reactions, the game is quite nostalgic and formative for a lot of people.

Kudos to the #MIT Graduate Student Council for adopting "a resolution expressing support for campus libraries to exit big deal journal packages and calling for changes to promotion and tenure processes to move away from journal-based metrics."

Well.... looks like none of my devices, except for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, is capable of the “More Advanced On-Device" models of Siri AI.

My iPad Pro is M4, but only has 8GB of memory. My Mac Studio is an M1, and MacBook Pro is an M2.

If there was an M5 Mac Studio, I might order one, but no announcement for that.

@caseyliss call sheet got a call out in the music video!

Can't get an interview for a job?

If you get passed over at one place, chances are you'll get passed over at all the places you apply.

✓ 90% of employers use ai to screen resumes

✓ most employers use the same handful of third party ai tools

✓ ai tool sends the employer a score it has given your resume

✓ it keeps that score up to 330 days

✓ then it sends that score to the next employer you apply to.. & the next & the next..

It's called
Systemic Rejection

It seems that it gets increasingly more expensive to bring Matt Damon home.

I don't normally care about sports, but with the Chicago Bears taking another step to moving to Indiana, I love the last line of the community note on Instagram:

"Taxpayers funded a substantial portion of the 2002–2003 Soldier Field renovation. The $632 million project included approximately $432 million in taxpayer-backed public bonds, while the Chicago Bears and the NFL contributed a combined $200 million................ The franchise has also not won a Super Bowl since the 1985 season."
