Reading that a German city is removing more public toilets, the general rule is:

If your city has no free, public toilets, the city is the public toilet.

(Usually you will not want this.)

Jeffries keeps telling voters they don't want him to get even. Nobody asked him to. We asked for subpoenas, sworn testimony, the Epstein files and the Iran bill. Retribution is Trump's word. Justice is ours, Hakeem, so say it on camera and stop flinching.

(4/) The Commerce Dept Connection

The Bureau of Industry and Security opened a probe into Megaspeed after a US official visiting a Malaysian data center found Nvidia chips still in their shipping boxes. #BIS investigators spent months building the case.

In August of 2025 Nvidia general counsel Tim #Teter called Commerce Under Secretary Jeffrey #Kessler, (who oversees all US chip export controls and reports directly to Commerce Secretary Howard #Lutnick), asking whether BIS was involved in Singapore's detention of Alice Huang.

Teter then emailed investigators claiming Kessler had authorized the contact.

BIS employees were reportedly instructed by Teter to route all Nvidia-related requests through Kessler and not mention Megaspeed or its subsidiary #Speedmatrix in external communications.

According to the article, it's aid that's due to expire in 2028, so this is to keep it flowing and even allow it to increase, bypassing Congress.

Some days you discover that there's a bit more tea in the mug and it's a lovely surprise.

Other days you think there's one last sip and have a rude shock coming.

Yale University researchers released a new study finding that Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation would save 114,000 lives and reduce overall healthcare spending in America by more than $1 trillion a year.

1) Apple Messages looks like it thinks it knows who this person is, and prompts me to add them to my contacts. If this was legit and I knew the person, that would be convenient, but as it is, it lends this scammer (who certainly won’t be who they claim to be) an appearance of legitimacy — maybe Messages has some reason to think I know them?

2) I feel like I’ve been mistaken for Curzon Dax.

I’ve created https://wwdcindex.com as an archive of previous WWDC sessions, but Apple keeps releasing new sessions throughout the year.
To make those discoverable, I’ve added an RSS feed to the website, as well as a Spotlight section that shows recent additions.

"When asked whether his concerns over government surveillance remain and whether he has the same concerns with his new employer, Tester said Palantir is different and that the company doesn't build "big databases" or trade in private data.
[…]
Last year, over a dozen former Palantir employees criticized the company over its $30 million contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to create a tool that provides "near real-time visibility" into the movement of migrants."

First thing I don’t like about the iPad mini: the acoustic display. The sound quality is fine, but if I’ve got a podcast on and I’m holding the iPad, it vibrates the device in rhythm with the words. I’m finding that quite unpleasant.

I routinely monitor GitHub for keywords, keys and domains related to the infrastructure and products I am responsible for protecting.

This week I got an alert because one of those domains showed up in someone’s public repository.

I looked into it. This was from what appears to be someone trying to start a competitive company - but the issue was that they’d created their entire stack in public repos, and our domain came up because they’d also committed the Claude prompts they’d used to generate said code - and those prompts included the instructions to copy the material on our domain - which is where the alert came from.

Obviously this stuff happens all the time and has done for years, it’s just that now, it’s easier than ever to discover it at light speed because people are using tools they don’t understand to do it.

Anyway I opened a PR suggesting they do their own work and also lock down their repo.

If you have a young person in your life who goes to concerts please encourage them to wear hearing protection. Maybe buy them good earplugs for christmas, there’s cool looking options available. Most importantly for the long term preservation of their hearing but also for their experience now. I used to go to shows when I was young and come home with ringing ears and a headache. Wore good earplugs (the Loop Experience ones) standing right near the speakers at a metal show last night and came home feeling great, no ear ringing or headaches

@pawpower This is one of the reasons I wanted smart lights in my house so that when people do forget, I can get them all turned off from an app. There's also automation so that if everybody leaves the house, they will go off automagically. @MoonCat

I realize that people who can see can afford to be more careless than I can. And what I mean by that is they don't have to put things back in the same place every time. It doesn't matter if they move the tea kettle 9 inches to the right because they are going to be able to find it using their eyesight. It doesn't matter if they leave a package of bacon open when they go across the room to answer the telephone because they can watch to make sure that the cat or the dog doesn't steal it. They can leave garbage places and come back and pick it up later and throw it away. And all this is well and good until they practice the same behaviors in my house. I tried to be very patient and I tried to be understanding because I know for most people putting things back where they belong and throwing things away immediately when you are done using the packaging is not something they do in their own homes and in their own lives, but when they come to my house and they do these kinds of things, it makes about a 30 minute cleaning project for yours truly when the wheels come off of the wagon. This very frustrated Toot! brought to you by the mess I just cleaned up because someone has been using a little plastic bucket I had for garbage only they didn't tell me and the guest dog got on my table and threw trash everywhere and of course I only found it when my dog started bringing me garbage, and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from because I throw my garbage away immediately every time. Then I found the bucket! Which by the way had been chewed up into 1 million tiny pieces… So imagine cleaning up that mess when you can't see it. The mess is cleaned up, but I am still a little bit annoyed.

Nice, he actually said it!

When Hakeem Jeffries apologists defend him refusing to allow a vote for M4A (something that makes me wonder if PAC money is at play), after James Talarico rode a blue wave in Texas on a message of passing M4A, they say Trump would just veto it.

Trump is in many ways a simple, easily manipulated person (see e.g. Putin, Netanyahu) and Abdul El-Sayed knows exactly how to do it: put his name on an ObamaCare replacement.

I have a favored USB A+C charger which never worked with my old 2016 MacBook Pro — tries to provide too much power and the laptop halts charging.

The other day I discovered that if I plug into the MacBook's *front* USB-C ports, the charger doesn't ramp over thirty-something watts, and the laptop is fine. (This laptop supposedly can handle ~65 watts, but I guess only at the rear ports, and it throttles the front ports but not the rear ones, or not in a way that the charger recognizes?)
