One of my clients has me working in an RDP session, inside another RDP session, using multiple monitors.
Probably the coolest benefit of this is how easy it is to accidentally post my password in a Teams group, when all I wanted to do was unlock my remote desktop.
Or so I've been told.

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."
![Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:
“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreickzwdynkak7r4lur6afktglm3gontqsq5r5c7jeewyecyd4dczla@jpeg)

For some time, my greeting phrase for my voicemail service included ”leave a short message”.
And I swear every single person who left a voicemail made a quip about that, effectively making the messages even longer for me to listen to.

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.
