Is there a “badge zero” button I can press in iOS to reset all notification badges across all applications?

douglevin,

@popey OMG - that is triggering. At some point years ago, I turned off the vast majority of notifications I was receiving and it helped make my life saner. Are all of those notifications really a priority for YOU?

@dsalo @PogoWasRight @brett @funnymonkey @michaelfklein @mkeierleber It was launched at a very specific point in time to solve a specific problem - no thought was given to governance, sustainability, or even how or when to gracefully sunset it

Quick survey because I need to replace my 14-year-old monitor: Do I need a 4k monitor if I'm using it mostly for email, web browsing (with video) and occasional streaming? Is it worth spending extra, or will a non-4k monitor suit my needs? Keep in mind, I'll likely use this monitor for 14 or more years, so please make your recommendation what that in mind.

Update: Thanks for all the comments so far. To answer a few questions: I have room for only 1 monitor, so I want it to be no smaller than 27" because I often have multiple windows open it it'd be nice if I could put them side-by-side sometimes. I'm willing to go bigger, if it fits into my budget. I'd like to spend no more than $600.

douglevin,

@dangoodin 14 years is a really long time for a monitor IMHO. How much are you looking to spend?

douglevin,

@dangoodin @jerry @xabean That's too big - designed for 60" panels and @jerry recommended a 43" panel.

douglevin,

@jerry @dangoodin @xabean I mean it could work, but the mounting arms might extend above and below the monitor. Agree that seems pricey for a mount - just search for one designed to fit a monitor the size you are buying.

@douglevin @funnymonkey @brett @michaelfklein @mkeierleber @dsalo

Here's a somewhat chilling, but expected finding from the report on how districts consider vendor cybersecurity:

douglevin,

@PogoWasRight @funnymonkey @brett @michaelfklein @mkeierleber @dsalo My sense is that is a pretty optimistic take, too.

Relied on by Parents, Hailed by Schools, GPS Bus Trackers Raise Security Risks https://www.the74million.org/article/relied-on-by-parents-hailed-by-schools-gps-bus-trackers-raise-security-risks/ via @mkeierleber

Must read:

"But Nguyen-Bull said her company was uninterested in signing the [CISA] pledge, calling it meaningless without any clear cybersecurity standards. Yet she also balked at the idea of regulations that would set specific cybersecurity requirements.

“We’re not just going to sign random pledges that ask for slightly different things if we don’t know if we can track those things,” she said. “As a small family-run business, we don’t have five compliance people tracking all of the different pledges and ensuring that we check all of the boxes.”

Cybercriminals stole thousands of UW records, but system leaders didn’t tell the public. Why?

Me trying to figure out whether to code incidents as events or not for our annual statistical analyses when reporting entities carefully fail to disclose what happened.

Because these posts scroll away, I have posted something on DataBreaches.net about the discrepancies between what Raptor Technologies has told school districts and WIRED and what we know about the incident -- and what we don't know yet:

https://www.databreaches.net/raptor-technologies-unsecured-blob-exposure-was-worse-than-they-acknowledged-heres-what-we-know-and-dont-know-so-far/

Someone might want to ask the U.S. Education Department and the #FTC to look into this incident.

@PogoWasRight @brett @allan @michaelfklein @funnymonkey Thanks for writing this up. Will work it... ;)

Just got off the phone with an edu reporter who had been getting recent pitch after pitch from Raptor Technologies about their products (multiple this week alone). She had no idea about their recent breach (https://www.wired.com/story/us-school-shooter-emergency-plans-leak/). To say she had salty words for the company....I need to wash my ears out. Expect we will see some more coverage ;) @PogoWasRight @brett @funnymonkey @michaelfklein
