A guy called my dad and said he’d won a million dollars in a contest! All that was needed was to advance $1,000 to cover fees
My dad told the guy he would happily split the winnings, $500K each, if the guy paid the fees for him
The guy hung up

@neilk A kid called my dad & said he was his grandson and in jail in Racine, Wisconsin. My dad says, “Jimmy?” (He doesn’t have a grandson named Jimmy.) The kid said, “Yes, Grandpa. It’s me, Jimmy.” My dad said, you’re in luck. The police chief of Racine, Wisconsin is an old friend of mine. Put him on! The kid hung up.

@neilk A guy called me from some kind of tech support. He said he needed my social security number to activate the support. I told him, “one… two…” And then I stopped. The guy said, “Go on.” And I said, “That’s it. Twelve. I’m really old. I got one of the first ones.” The guy told me to do something unsanitary to a part of his anatomy and hung up.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

@neilk I remember once getting into an argument with a guy calling about my Windows machine. I legitimately only had a Linux laptop. He called me a liar, and insisted I did, indeed have a Windows machine. I hung up on him.

@neilk this is hands-down the best response I've heard of to an advance fee scam.

Almeno sei campi scientifici hanno scoperto in modo indipendente la stessa matematica
La stessa #matematica prevede crolli del mercato, blackout della rete elettrica, insufficienze cardiache e collasso dell'ecosistema. Almeno sei campi scientifici lo hanno scoperto in modo indipendente. La maggior parte non sapeva nulla degli altri. Ci sono voluti novant'anni perché qualcuno se ne accorgesse.

Perché dovresti smettere di usare Face ID subito
I blocchi biometrici come il riconoscimento facciale sono facili da impostare, ma grazie a una scappatoia legale, sono più facili da aggirare per le forze dell'ordine rispetto a un codice di accesso.

There are ways to deal with that.

I got my hands on a (apparently bricked) uugear Vivid Unit board today. Rockchip RK3399 5 inch touchscreen. Have now managed to get the bare OS working again, except it's Debian Bullseye and there's no straightfoward upgrade path. Could be a nice #homeassistant control panel, but would be great to be able to update it. Board is a strange mix of Android and Linux stuff though.

@jedi@bolha.us Yeah, there are times I want to call my own code “slop.” 😂 But I think it's going too far to call someone else's work that.

@hongminhee I call my code "artisanal slop"
