For anyone who was watching the TikTok live stream yesterday - I got the Pironman 5 Max working! I just had to re-seat one of the power connectors.

SIEM testing - otherwise we wouldn't want to see this. 😂

This pains me to do - but it’s for a thumbnail!

So purrrty!!

Phishing attempt posing as OpenAI / ChatGPT.

Excellent article about big telcos and the US gov still failing to thwart scam calling. All of the inconvenient hoops legitimate providers are forced to jump through are simply side-stepped with no consequences. commsrisk.com/scam-hunters...

89 million Steam account details just got leaked, so now's a good time to change your password We're still not sure how it even happened.

How To Lower Your Starlink Bill You can lower your Starlink bill by switching to a cheaper plan—or to another internet provider.

Was recently quoted in this article regarding Starlink pricing. I've done a few videos on the declining price of Starlink hardware and service - it very much feels like they're increasingly desperate for customers and are trying to generate demand. www.reviews.org/internet-ser...

Royal Caribbean just banned a money-saving cruise travel hack Between shore excursions, drink packages, and Wi-Fi, there are tons of ways to rack up a high bill on your Royal Caribbean cruise.

Yea - this was the article: www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/12/06/r...

This is old news that I'm just seeing, but Royal Caribbean's reason for banning travel routers is complete BS.

It's about not losing revenue from customers buying Wi-Fi while on the cruise. That's it. They want to squeeze every penny out of people while they're trapped on the boat.

I get comments like this often, but no one is able to tell me WHY Ubiquiti is 'not good.'

We have helped thousands of customers with UniFi, and I know first hand that UI gear works great. Is it perfect? No. But it's solid.

Also learn to spell Ubiquiti correctly before you criticize FFS.

Got to meet an actual celebrity yesterday at RSAC 2025…

Brave for work stuff, Firefox for personal stuff.

Microsoft Edge browser could put Copilot AI front and center – but that might just be a good thing At least if the revamped new tab page uncovered in testing stays as streamlined as it first appears

Should I be using Edge?? I haven't given it a fair shake in years.

Just accidentally realized that OpenAI owns the domain 'chat.com' - it redirects to ChatGPT when you put that in the browser. Nice domain name! That must have cost them a pretty penny.

Oh wow! Logitech wants to work with me...from their HQ in the Czech Republic? Hmm...something seems off.

Valid Coinbase emails are verified with a blue checkmark through Google and come from a coinbase URL.

Wow - new Coinbase scam I haven't seen before - definitely don't fall for this one. Email came from 'noreply@akamai.com' and the button also goes to an akamai URL.
