Good morning. 👋 The Keyboard Cleaning So here's what happened. My laptop keyboard was filthy, proper crumbs and fluff everywhere, touchpad too. I grabbed a cloth and just started wiping it down. Laptop still on, screen still awake. Obviously daft because every wipe was pressing keys, opening random windows, and moving the cursor about. Absolute chaos. So I thought — Right. 🤔 I'll just disable the input while I clean it. Off I went to search "how to disable keyboard on Windows 11". And no, the cursor and key press chaos didn't accidentally conjure a software installer. What — The Conjuring: Device Manager Edition? It never asked permission, it installed itself. Rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐ from plenty. Interesting. So instead of Ed and Lorraine Warren, we'd have... other names. Like Geoff and Tina Amazon Web Service. Let's derail a bit — Madam, I have a software-spectre problem at my house. ...

I Played Black 👋 This is the hybrid "Bishop's Opening: Berlin Defence, Greco Gambit" opening position from my standpoint as Black: ⬆️ The taxonomy is doing its best. Like labelling a pub brawl as informal social gathering . A game that was nominally Greco, technically Berlin, actually neither. And the anarchy begins. From move 3 onwards, we will witness proper chaos. The double g3 bit: Move 11 — White plays g3 , attempting to boot my bishop off. My bishop takes it. Cheerfully. Bxg3 . Cheers. Move 14 — White plays g3 again. My bishop takes it. Again. Cheers. Let's have a look. You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board. ⬆️ That last 21... Qxf4 , indeed, not Qg4 . I grabbed a pawn when the clean, decisive Qg4 was right there. — Oooh, pawn! Let me have it. — We do not discuss this further. We m...

The Statement On 12 June 2026, Anthropic published a statement on their website. It was titled, with commendable straightforwardness — Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Dramatic. Weighty. Very official. And then I read it. First, a Jailbreak For the uninitiated — a jailbreak , in AI terms, is when someone finds a clever way to prod (or poke or nudge or push) a model past its safety guardrails. Think of it as finding the one loose fence panel the farmer missed. Every model has them. Every model has always had them. It is, to put it gently, a known occupational hazard of the entire industry. The standard response from any developer, upon discovering one, is roughly as follows: Quietly panic for twenty minutes. Fix it. FIX IT. We are strong! 💪😤 💪 Push a patch! Write a suspiciously vague changelog entry such as minor security improvements. Never...

Hi 👋 There is an unwritten law in the entertainment industry. It states, simply — the more emotionally devastating a song is, the more aggressively its music video must contradict it. Nobody signed this law. Nobody enforced it. And yet, for roughly a decade, Hollywood obeyed it with the discipline of a Swiss watch. In pop. This is the documented evidence. EXHIBIT A Don't Speak — No Doubt (1996) What the song is about : Gwen Stefani's seven-year relationship has ended. She would like you to stop talking, please. What the lyrics say What is happening in the video Don't speak, I know just what you're saying Realm One: Gwen stands in a polka-dot tube dress in a... place. She is composed. This is misleading. I know what you're thinking, I don't need your reasons Still Rea...

The Task Manager On Windows 11, the CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys combination is a shortcut to open the Task Manager. But of course, Task Manager can be accessed through other methods: Right clicking the taskbar ➡️ we will see Task Manager option in the context menu. The CTRL + ALT + DEL ➡️ we will also see Task Manager in the menu. Well, assuming the user is given privilege to access Task Manager. Let us assume the user is ourselves, the owner of the computer, an administrator on Windows 11. The Background: Emoji Picker I frequently use the emoji. For our information — to access the emoji picker on Windows 11, we do: Windows key + . (dot or period) It will bring the emoji picker dialog: Now, the background — why I post this Windows 11 Task Manager shortcut. My problem was when I opened the emoji picker the search box was MISSING! That's comparable to when we're on bada Bing bada boom, there's NO SE...

Nostalgia Back in the early 2000s, when I first got my hands on a proper internet connection at university — studying Electrical Engineering, no less, with a focus on Control Systems — I genuinely believed that typing something into a search engine meant it was out there, live, rummaging through the actual web in real time. Embarrassing, really. Like sending a little scout off into the wilderness and waiting for him to come back with news. — Quite, honourable user of search engine. Please give me a moment to fetch the exhilarating answer of your... sort of... question! — Skittering about with his tiny legs and coming back with information. Indeed, I thought it was like that! Well, I didn't discuss it with anyone back then. Just searched for materials from the internet, went back glaring at the books and screen, no — Prithee, good fellows, when I didst query Yahoo!, was it truly scurrying about the great web, fetching results in earnest? ⬆️ No. Absolutel...

Hello I heard a line from a YouTube video "G.I.JOE Operation Dragonfire: The Movie!" Here's the YouTube link . It starts at 25:20 . The original line: Well guys, we can't go in the front door because it's protected by the force field. I thought the line would go: Well guys, we can't go in the front door because there's a DOOR. It's locked, guys. 🤔 Comparable to: Well guys, we can't go through the wall because there's a wall. Quite solid, that. It's protected by the force field of concretes. Concretes , plural — with the s . — Hmm, debatable, but I'll allow it. ⬅️ "I" is English. The force field is composed of multiple distinct varieties of concrete — it's drawing power from: High-strength concrete. Reinforced concrete. Prestressed concrete. Possibly some ancient Roman opus caementicium for extra mystical potency. It's a grand coalition of concretes, united in their singular purpose...
