I love my job. I get to work on some really old equipment which is really cool, seeing how stuff worked years ago. Today I got to work on an IBM I/O Mainframe and a Sun Systems Tape Library.

Man-in-the-middle attacks on Public WiFi networks haven't been a realistic threat in a decade. Almost all websites use encryption by default, and anything of value uses HSTS to prevent attackers from downgrading / disabling encryption. It's a non issue.
They are useful to prevent man in the middle attacks where someone uses a pineapple to spoof a public wifi signal.

Most distant object known to humanity.
Found by JWST, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant galaxy ever discovered. It's located 13.6 billion light years from us, and since it takes time for light to travel, we see it as it was only 290 million years after the Big Bang.
