Whelp- there goes any thought of using Arduino in any of my potential future projects 🙃

Don’t know where I found this background but it makes a pretty epic one with the depth effect on the clock 🥰
Screenshot of my lock screen showing a night time hill scape with stars in the sky. The bottom of the numbers for the clock are partially obscured by the mountains.

Ah, okay- so I wasn’t going crazy then. Seems like the government is about to create the perfect storm for the potential of more data breaches

Or was that a recommendation from the OAIC?

Please correct me if I’m wrong- but wasn’t there a provision added to the privacy act after the Optus and Medibank data breaches, stating that companies aren’t allowed to hold onto sensitive personal documents longer than it takes them to validate them? 🤔

last week, I wrote about how the rushed/bizarre teen social media ban policy process could lead to bad outcomes for Australians.

One scenario? Platforms forced to check users ages leak private data. Anyway, there's now a leak of some Discord user's passports

Can’t even say I noticed this one - then again: I don’t really pay attention to notifications unless they’re a gift sub, if so I try to jump in the channel and thank the gifter 💜

Twitch's own "Marketing Notifications" appear to have very limited impact.

On Friday, Twitch sent out a sitewide notification promoting ExtraEmily's Hot Dog stream.

This resulted in a rather tepid result, as only 1000 people joined the stream.

Very promising. Was looking at another small hatch with similar range. But is just too short for me- don’t want to be having to stop to charge every 250km if I’m driving a longer distance. 😕

when the AI bubble pops I'll be swooping in and buying those data centres and turning them into dining precincts. i'm talking a Guzman Y Gomez, a Grilld, a Rolld, a Coffee Club, a Fratelli Fresh, a Strike Bowling
