Anyone know if this is #phishing or a legit TSA or Idemia email? Trying to figure out if it's a data breach if not.
I deleted it immediately because the From domain was so phishy. Took a closer look because I realized it went to my TSA-specific email alias and had the correct firstname in body. 🧵

Another reason not to trust "AI" search:
My blog was cited as a source for "why is deluxe checks website so bad". While I stand by what I wrote at that time, it's now OVER A DECADE out of date.
I had to click "Show All" to reveal my dated review. Your average Googler would be none the wiser.

The account deletion process/policy on #Lyft has to be some of the worst enshittification that I've seen in a while.

Tricorder reassembly success! Looks good as new, other than the scratched screen. 😬
I did remember to replace the copper tape over the wiring harness, but uh... kinda had two screws left over at the end. I mean, it feels solid and nothing obvious comes to mind. I'll have to watch the video back.

I went to add videos to a YT playlist, and weirdly got a 3rd party cookie notification for docs.google.com.
Not a security concern, just weird that YT is hosting elements off of Docs, and in the years I've been using this browser for YT and Studio it's the first time it's come up.

New video up on the main channel: youtu.be/bFd88f0Go9c
I got this Schaffner NSG 200E Interference Simulator mainframe with an NSG 223A module a while back to test a device featured in a previous video. That was quite a while ago, but I finally got around to taking a look at it.

The two #raspberrypi so-called #backup #servers I buried underground in 2022 are still going strong. Trying to decide when to dig them up and see what they look like.
