This feature in iOS 26 Beta has saved me quite a couple of hours of politely declining business solicitation. If you're an apple user, you'll likely get it in September. If on Android, we have a similar feature in Bitdefender Mobile Security.

So I have this Windows VM and just opened Steam in it for reasons. Next thing i know is I get a taskbar pop-up telling me about games on the Windows Store and then this. What's going on with Windows 11? How long have i been missing?

RSA 2025 recap: AI is the answer, Agentic is the buzzword, and Zero Trust kinda got rug-pulled for good vibes only. Booths are loud, promises are louder. Meanwhile I missed my connection and I'm stranded in Turkey. (SF was great this year though)

Git is brilliant and brutal. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, but makes you feel stupid about it at least once a week. It's like a power tool with no safety guard: amazing in skilled hands, dangerous in clueless ones. We’ve all been one `git reset --hard` away from questioning life choices.
