    Amazon layoffs will shut down camera review site DPReview.com after 25 years

    Extremely sad, I’ve read the reviews and forums there for over 20 years. Bezos apparently don’t have enough money… The worst thing is that all the information, reviews and forum posts will disappear from the Internet…

    LastPass hackers infected employee’s home computer and stole corporate vault

    Agreed! While I believe it's a common setup for many companies, a security focused company that literally depends on that users trust them with their most valuable data should never expose it like this. Secure/hardened workstations with FIDO2 authentication in multiple steps should be minimum...

    Twitter’s two-factor authentication change “doesn’t make sense”

    If I were Elon (which I'm not, thank god) and I was serious about security (which he ain't), I would deploy a MFA campaign that nudged the user to switch from SMS to another more secure 2FA... My bet is that he just don't want to pay for the text messages.

    Microsoft announces AI-powered Bing search and Edge browser

    I would like a search engine that works exactly like google did back in the days (serve relevant content depending on search query). Nowadays, many searches returns fake or AI generated content that drives ad-revenue. The big problem however is that Google also make a lot of revenue from these...

    Love among the volcanoes: <em>Fire of Love</em> remembers Maurice and Katia Krafft

    Saw The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft by Werner Herzog a month ago and I thought it was mesmerizing! As that documentary also builds on their archive footage, I would have enjoyed a comparison between the two documentaries!

    Thanks for the article! Remembering that my cousin got scolded for calling a BBS in Japan from Sweden and racking up the phone bill on his Amiga 500 with a 300 baud modem. The computer magazines were filled with letters from distraught parents asking that they shouldn't write about using a BBS...

    Apple’s diving computer app, Oceanic+, launches on the Watch Ultra

    1. Yes, it’s quite cheap! Still adds up over the years though. 2. The battery lasts ~3 years. I’ve replaced it myself five times in 18 years. 3. Read the review I linked In my previous post. 4.
