#Space jellyfish spinning over #Concord tonight while I was on a run. Perhaps a recent #SpaceX launch?

So #apple scrambled to move #iPhone inventory from India to the US ahead of the #tariff onslaught. Media reported 6 such flights occurred. OK, so how many iPhones? We could get nerdy here, but let's just ask #Gemini 2.5 Pro.

AI reasoned 1.35M phones... and other news sources confirm 1.5M phones! 🤯
Gemini prompt: How many iPhones can be transported in a 777F cargo aircraft? Assume devices are in final retail packaging. Assume cargo is properly palletized and secured. How many devices could be carried on 6 such cargo aircraft? Gemini conclusion: Summary: A single Boeing 777F can carry approximately 224,000 iPhones, limited primarily by weight. Six Boeing 777F aircraft could carry approximately 1,347,000 iPhones (rounded).

Major #JetBlue break through on #FlyFi tonight. #GitHub #SSH pulls and pushes now work on the free wifi!

We're liberated from the forced relaxation of reading books or watching movies in flight. Get #Coding! #Cloud #Developers in the ☁️s!

QQ: is this product #deprecated?

Props to #GoogleCloud #DevRel #Cloud docs to making it abundantly clear to any human that this is NOT the monitoring language you're looking for. (#PromQL #FTW)

So long 👋 #OpenSource projects on #BitBucket. Best pony up, or move along to another #Git hosting website. Honestly, what #Developers would actually use 1GiB of data 🤔?

This #Mockito error amid a hectic day of programming reminded my of Peter Gibbons from #OfficeSpace and all #Nothing can be. I wish I could be an example of doing nothing right now...🧘

That explains the slow and hanging logins on @1password.bsky.social , 12.5MB of Javascript to show the login screen! Granted, they probably have some kungfu #CyberSecurity #wasm justification here. Just make sure you load this login page over high speed fiber, not LTE.

Excellent example of promptly owning your #PublicRelations #failures by #NorthwesternMutual. I wonder what #Security executive they found to OK this tongue in cheek response late on a Friday? Failure to mea culpa stopwatch: 11 h 47 m.

But what about the customers that were actually born on 3 Jan?

Happy 2025, #MicrosoftTeams connector URL users! It's deprecation day! Hope you updated your URLs before last night's cut off. Always great fun responding to a #RugPull . Will we ever learn what was so insecure since the URL format is unchanged. #security ❤️

Wow, 2025 is here which means #GoogleCloud #AppEngine fans need to ensure their #Java 8 and Java 11 apps are upgraded to Java 17 before July and Halloween respectively! Don't forget this #docker container trick to make that upgrade a breeze. It saved me a lot of time 😅

Node.js v22 LTS just went GA for #CloudRun Functions on #GoogleCloud. Let the upgrade cycle commence, #DevOps peeps! But don't worry if you're on #Nodejs v18/20, you're still covered until Apr '25 & '26 respectively. Set your self calendar invites now 🗓️❤️

Remember, the #Cloud is still physical computers in a warehouse. #StuffHappens, fails, blows up, catches 🔥.

Arc flashes are nasty explosions and why your #CloudComputing workloads and #Kubernetes clusters need to be multi-zonal at the least.
