Happy ending to the story. It was an 18th birthday present. Owner got hit by a big wave and the watch got ripped off their hand. They had given up on it ever being found. A very appreciative mum picked it up

Unlike the iPhone they’re surprisingly easy to factory reset.

Apple Medical ID has name and date of birth of the owner. You press the same buttons as emergency call.
Once I had the name and age, I posted that. A friends parent saw the post and sent it to his mum. This is a small community. We get a lot of holidaymakers here and often can’t find the owner

Facebook community groups. They’re good for something other than complaining about kids on e-bikes! His mum found the post. Corroborated the details for pickup

Testament to the Apple Watch. Someone found one in the ocean, returned it to the lifeguards, it had been there for a week. I cleaned it up, charged it, got the medical ID off it and the owner will pick it up today!

Congratulations to you both!

I’ll find out

Please tell me that isn’t in Europe

And then when you give it all the information and the means to verify it just gets stuck making the sleep longer and longer until you intervene.

Beautiful work Kiana

Claude loves a sleep statement to “fix” a bug.

I am so deep in the AI this week I had AI write a feature and raise a pull request but another AI did a code review so I told my AI to respond to that AI and they had a disagreement so I’m just watching, 🍿 , and paying for tokens. What is engineering in 2026.

Thought it was a sure thing with a West Ham game to make it 5. They had form!! Poor guy

Ok, hear me out.
They play 45 minutes. No stoppage. No ads. Then you get 30 mins break, ads, have dinner whatever. Dancing.
Then another 45 minutes.
That would be an amazing sport to watch.

There’s vice captain, senior vice captain, corporate vice captain, executive vice captain.. and chief captain. So 5?

Exposed Moltbook Database Let Anyone Take Control of Any AI Agent on the Site 'It exploded before anyone thought to check whether the database was properly secured.'

Turns out the sorts of people who put their ClawdBot on the Internet are also the sorts of people who put their unsecured Crypto frontends online too. Max from Falkenstein, DE— secure your stuff better 🤦🏻‍♂️

I put it on a burner laptop that doesn’t have access to anything to experiment. Looking at the setup and possibilities is terrifying. when I can work out -per plugin- how to get it to authenticate as a bot and not me, maybe I’ll try them

Grabbed this nugget of slop from LinkedIn because I can’t stop laughing.
