🔗 FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database
What happens is that if the text of a Signal message shows up on a lock screen, it’s stored in iOS itself, in a place where forensic investigators can gain access to it. That’s a really good reason to turn off lock-screen notifications for Signal, and to remove the text of Signal messages from its notifications entirely.

🔗 Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit
There’s a particular kind of person who can’t accept that story at face value, and you’ve met them. I am absolutely sure of it. They show up in every comment section and reply thread where someone powerful does something that looks, on its face, like a mistake - and their argument always runs the same way: you don’t understand, this is actually part of a larger plan, there’s a strategy here that you and I can’t see because we’re not operating at that anointed and elevated level… They’re the 4D chess crowd.
Talking with my mother about the US/Iran negotiations and she dropped a gem, ‘It takes Iranians 12 years to make a rug. You can’t expect them to negotiate peace in 1 day.’
Fantastic

The Motley Fool asks: Where Will Apple Stock Be in 5 Years? → Not reading this article is probably a wise decision.
Horace is definitely not ‘up’ on the punditry of ‘The Fool’.
I did not expect to see (I wont say ‘read’) an article called 🔗 Jimi Hendrix’s Analog Wizardry Explained in an IEEE site when I ‘feed perused’ this morning - but it does connect.
Hendrix didn’t speak in decibels and ohm values, but he collaborated with engineers who did—Mayer and Kramer—and iterated fast as a systems engineer. Reframing Hendrix as an engineer doesn’t diminish the art.
The whole piece is so funny - but I have set it to start at the point where Kevin is talking about a problem that I guarantee has affected you dear reader.

I do watch Jason - he’s another Liam in many ways - same character - same principles - same story - but make it entertaining. He usually delivers. But this little piece of knowledge I did not know.
🔗 Shelter (2026) | Brandon’s Journal
Jason Statham is arguably the most reliable actor in Hollywood. He has at least one new movie out ever year and it’s always released theatrically. He actually holds the record for having over fifty live-action theatrical releases with no direct to DVD/streaming/VOD releases, which is impressive as hell. Is every movie great? Not at all (I’m looking at you Exp4ndables) but for the most part you know what you are going to get and he delivers.

🔗 Adobe Is Mucking With Users’ /etc/hosts Files – Pixel Envy
I have precisely ONE product installed from Adobe - essentially using their equivalent of Documentum. I need to move to something else that is not Adobe or Documentum and release - I suspect - gigabytes of bloatware that I have always known is floating around the drive somewhere.
🔗 The Moon was Never the Point - Gapingvoid
Like for like I would argue that there is some kind of normal distribution curve at play here … where Gapingvoid’s conclusion is correct in the centre - but wrong at the extremes.
5 - 50 and 500,000 are not ‘specific’.
Managing ‘5’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘5’ mini projects.
Managing ‘50’ mini projects is harder than one project that encompasses those ‘50’ mini projects.
Managing ‘500,000’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘500,000’ mini projects.
I should come back to this with more detail - lets see what the cognoscenti has to say … nothing - as usual - would be my guess.
Attention and trust continue their dance, and our choices determine how we’ll show up in the marketplace. Burning trust to get attention rarely pays off.

Oceans on both sides and friendly nations on our borders have lulled America into a false sense of security. After all, the U.S. has not fought a foreign force on American soil since 1812.
