NEW, by me: The check-in computers at several hotels around the U.S. are running a consumer-grade spyware app called pcTattletale.

pcTattletale was seen stealthily and continually capturing screenshots of the hotel booking systems, which contained guest information and reservation details.

This was discovered because a security researcher found a flaw in the spyware is exposing these screenshots to the internet, not just the spyware's intended users.

Apple introduced API that enables recording audio from other apps or the entire system in macOS 14.4, but it's poorly documented and there's no sample code available, so I decided to fix that: https://github.com/insidegui/AudioCap

Any recommendations for USB-C to C charging cables over 10 feet/3 meters long? USB 2.0 speeds are fine, no video transmission needed, just want 100W of power delivery and ideally not as thick as a garden hose

Mentally preparing myself for the hit to the wallet tomorrow by previewing the special order prices on the NZ Games Workshop store and doing some math… 😅

Orc Shamans are living conduits to Gork and Mork, and wield great magical power, drawn not just from the Winds of Magic, but from the power of belief generated by their kin. As a result, Shamans do whatever they can to stoke the fervour of those around them by prancing, gesticulating wildly, gibbering, and chanting. The greatest of these Weirdnobs have earned the right to ride to battle atop a mighty Wyvern, a foul-smelling beast with armoured scales, powerful wings, and a venomous tail.
Trolls are hulking, dim-witted creatures, capable of adapting to nearly any environment. Stone Trolls are long-limbed brutes with rocky, cracked hides, often found wandering the slopes and passes of the Old World’s many mountain ranges. These beasts have indiscriminate appetites, and will eat anything from flesh and bone, to wood, rocks, and even scrap metal. Not surprisingly, a Troll's stomach contains potent digestive juices, which they even vomit up onto their enemies.
(More trolls!)

Just remember we had a chance to end daylight savings time.

I hate this time change. #daylightsavingtime

For many years, the cheapest source of electricity has been investing in improving energy efficiency -- simply the idea of doing more of what we want with less electricity.

But truly, the cheapest source of electricity is not spending electricity on things we shouldn't be doing at ALL, like cryptocurrency mining.

@ivory since iOS 17.1 I am not seeing push notifications from ivory. I feel it could be a bug with iOS itself just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Intel is apparently winding down its NUC mini PCs after more than a decade

@christianselig has there been any updates to the pricing model of what Reddit will be charging? I think $5-$10 for Apollo ultra a month would be reasonable.
