Books about Minecraft. It must be Christmas and I assume they will be bought by grandparents for their grandchildren?

Dear Xfinity this happened over two months ago - and now you are telling us?
Xfinity Data Security Incident
Notice of Data Security Incident
We are notifying you of a recent data security incident involving your personal information. This notice explains the incident, steps Xfinity has taken to address it, and guidance on what you can do to protect your personal information.
What Happened? On October 10, 2023, one of Xfinity’s software providers, Citrix, announced a vulnerability in one of its products used by Xfinity and thousands of other companies worldwide. At the time Citrix made this announcement, it released a patch to fix the vulnerability. Citrix issued additional mitigation guidance on October 23, 2023. We promptly patched and mitigated our systems. However, we subsequently discovered that prior to mitigation, between October 16 and October 19, 2023, there was unauthorized access to some of our internal systems that we concluded was a result of this vulnerability. We notified federal law enforcement and conducted an investigation into the nature and scope of the incident. On November 16, 2023, it was determined that information was likely acquired.
What Information Was Involved? On December 6, 2023, we concluded that the information included usernames and hashed passwords; for some customers, other information was also included, such as names, contact information, last four digits of social security numbers, dates of birth and/or secret questions and answers. However, our data analysis is continuing, and we will provide additional notices as appropriate.
What We Are Doing. To protect your account, we have proactively asked you to reset your password. The next time you login to your Xfinity account, you will be prompted to change your password, if you haven’t been asked to do so already.
What You Can Do. We strongly encourage you to enroll in two-factor or multi-factor authentication. While we advise customers not to re-use passwords across multiple accounts, if you do use the same information elsewhere, we recommend that you change the information on those other accounts, as well. You can review the “Additional Information” section below for information on how you can further protect your personal information.
More Information. If you have additional questions, please contact IDX, Xfinity’s incident response provider managing customer notifications and call center support, at 888-799-2560 toll-free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More information is available on the Xfinity website at www.xfinity.com/dataincident. We know that you trust Xfinity to protect your information, and we can’t emphasize enough how seriously we are taking this matter. We remain committed to continue investing in technology, protocols and experts dedicated to helping to protect your data and keeping you, our customer, safe.
Sincerely, Xfinity

Wrote this yesterday as I was doing this yesterday.
John has his phone and the Jax phone and another Jax phone.
Jax (5 miles away) is with Nix and the Nix phone.
John on the John phone talks to Nix and Jax on the Nix phone.
John also talks to Jax on the Jax phone and the other Jax phone.
Jax doesn’t know that - because the Jax phone and the other Jax phone is with John, so John really talks to John on the Jax phone and the other Jax phone.
From the Jax phone and the other Jax phone, John talks to Jax on the Nix phone and Nix on the Nix phone.
Messages to Nix from the John phone are blue.
Messages to Nix from the other Jax phone are blue.
Messages to Nix from the Jax phone are sometimes green.
Messages to Nix from the Jax phone are sometimes blue.
Except that last sentence is inaccurate.
Because sometimes John doesn’t talk to Jax or Nix, but rather to a random stranger.
Their messages are blue.
The green messages on the Jax phone are the real messages from Jax and Nix, even though on the other Jax phone the real messages are blue.
Yes it does get confusing, but I think the time was well spent, because I could have been trying to fix the new wireless extender … because Mercury is most definitely in retrograde.
It’s complicated.
P.S. … all messages are now blue, which is as it should be.
What shouldn’t be is this hard.

How ‘rude’.
Declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying damages.
Well - it has been a long time since I saw this. Yes - you can walk into specific stores - but this was a section in a store that did a lot more.
OH - now that is interesting …

About That Adobe - Figma Thing
Sorry - but this is going to be a ‘MicroBlog Storm’. Is that a thing I hear you ask? Why yes - yes it is. If IKEA can have 🖇️ ‘Vintage IKEA’ - then hell has clearly frozen over - and a ‘MicroBlog Storm’ is definitely a thing.
Apparently ‘Vintage IKEA’ is a thing.
Two ‘words’ I never expected to see sitting adjacent to each other.
It took 12 hours to get through a day’s support requests before TextExpander. Now I handle 100 tickets in less than five hours.
Is it just me?

Dems and Repubs have a lot more in common than we might think.
In US politics … the two prime parties are symbolized by a 🔗 Donkey and Elephant.
The curious thing is that 🔗 Thomas Nast created both the original satirical cartoons.
- Same guy.
- Drew cartoons that dinged both parties.
- Both parties adopted their own cartoon …
These days they’d sue him!
