NZ government could learn a lot from the forms and design system in gov.uk

It’s fast, easy to understand, clear, and quick. Sooo good

Finally caved and bought a new TV. Old was a 2013-era 720p 32” Sony. New one is “Smart” 43” 4K TCL. $500 from Costco

It will never be on the network. It’s a dumb panel for the Apple TV.

So far so good. ECE appears to work (power on/off, volume). Has a “basic” mode which disables GoogleTV. Can tell it to start on previous port. Headphone out for our Tivoli

And yes TCL had a security thing. But without wifi or Ethernet that’s not really an issue.

Leonie opened WhatsApp to message someone.

“What the fuck is this MetaAI? I didn’t ask for this shit. How do I turn it off??”

Quickest way to lose a customer.

Facebook isn’t on my usual MITM attackers for app security. But it needs to be.

Onavo tho. I remember emailing them and got a reply from their CEO pre acq: “no we don’t MITM”

Sure bro. I can SEE it in my logs. That’s why I’m emailing you.

ok, so: on a mac.

I have (lets say) 5 mp3/aacs I want to merge together, possibly change the speed (eg 105 or 110%) for one, with pitch shift, possibly add a loop of the track + the last 33% of the track (eg 2 verse+chorus, and I want to repeat the last V+C again)

What do I use?

Pretty sure quite a few Aucklanders are side-eyeing the rain right now.
