Fun fact! Last year, Apple moved its security releases page from /HT201222 to an easier-to-remember URL ending in /100100
In binary, 100100 represents 36.
In ASCII, 36 corresponds to the dollar sign ($)

Oh boy. People are pealing stickers off gas pumps because they think it’s stealing their credit card details. NFC tokenization makes this literally impossible.

The first computer bug.
In the 40s, engineers working on the Mark II computer at Harvard discovered a moth stuck in one of the machine's relays (what's now transistors)
They taped the insect to their logbook and labeled it as the "first actual case of a bug being found."

So let me get this straight. OpenAI egregiously scrapped data from millions of websites and is now upset because DeepSeek did it to them. This is so rich.
