That’s not a story, just a post without context.

I think MS, while creating “modern CLI” apps, miss the whole point of CLI apps.

Watched Clear And Present Danger again today. Sorta feels relevant today.

A Polish YouTuber just heated his house by burning 133 Lidl donuts in his stove. 14°C→22°C. Burned for 5 hours. Donuts have almost the same energy value as wood pellets - but at €0.0024 per donut, they're insanely cheaper. Fat Thursday in Poland just solved energy crisis.🍩

The way I see it: if you compare yourself to AI and conclude it’s up to your level, then you’re pretty dumb. Or I’m just really cocky. Time will tell.

Just encountered one of the most convincing Google account takeover scams I’ve seen. Perfect American accent. Calm. Professional. They start the call by saying someone tried to hack your Google account using a fake death certificate, then ask if you recognize a recovery email or phone number. They ask if you’ve received any recent Google emails about an account you don’t recognize trying to recover access. And sure enough, there’s a legit Google security email. Here’s the trick. The attacker isn’t trying to hack your account. They create a throwaway Google account, set your email as the recovery email, then try to recover that account. Google sends you a real security email. The scammer calls you live, references the email, and even tells you to verify the headers since it comes directly from Google. The headers are real. That’s the point. Then they tell you they’re locking down your account and that you’ll get a recovery prompt on your phone. You just need to approve it to stay safe. The giveaway was the device and location in the prompt didn’t match me. When I pushed back, they claimed it was from their servers, which obviously makes no sense. At that point I hung up. I have a personal rule to never approve anything I didn’t initiate, especially while on the phone. Extremely well executed social engineering. I’m sure this works on a lot of people. And if someone calls you about account security, assume it’s a scam

totally reasonable
