2) Add catgirl branding
3) Charge companies to remove catgirl branding

Signal: “Please give me unfettered access to your address book. I’m very trustworthy!”
Me: “No, you’re not.”
“Why not?”
“You keep pushing this dark pattern on me and have no way for me to say I never want to consent to this.”
“Okay, but besides that?”

It was faint, but I got a beautiful view of the aurora last night.

There are two wolves inside you.

Las Vegas is a mess right now, and it can all be traced back to a vacant lot in Reno in the 90s.

The Eldorado opened in downtown Reno in 1973, and for 20 years it operated as a single standalone company. Between it and Circus Circus Reno was an empty lot, and in 1995 they built the Silver Legacy, the largest resort in Reno. The two companies co-owned the resort but remained financially independent.

But that kickstarted something in Eldorado, which began a mergers & acquisitions spree in Reno, Vegas and elsewhere. Including, 20 years later, buying the Circus Circus and its remaining 50% stake in the Silver Legacy.

This culminated in acquiring Caesars Entertainment in 2019 and changing its name to match. Today, Las Vegas is basically a duopoly between Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts.

And that, my children, is why you can't open the minifridge door in our room, or else a $30/night charge will be added to our bill.

I have figured out how to do this, and one of the 4.2 billion IPv4 addresses on the Internet is currently listening on port 5900 and displaying something silly.

I assume there is stub VNC server out there which just displays a static image and isn't tying into an actual screen, but I haven't been able to find it. It's also entirely possible people are doing this as a coding exercise (I don't know how complex the VNC protocol is).

Apple is using a thermal image of an Apple logo with poor thermal dissipation to advertise a launch event for new Apple products.
