Switched two-factor authentication app from Authy to something open source based (Aegis). It also actually allows importing/exporting to a different app if I migrate again, unlike Authy (I ended up just manually re-adding accounts to the new app).

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

A "Captain Caveman" segment of early 80s "The Flintstone Comedy Show" has a pair of villains launch a weather satellite into orbit via a giant slingshot in order to conquer the Earth.
Anyway, did Musk watch this episode and get this (stupid/unrealistic) idea?
