I sit in meetings all day speaking about the importance of #cybersecurity to people who should know better.
On my free time I like to read books, go kayaking or play #TTRPG or super nintendo.
Watching ducks (& birds in general) makes me happy.

Case in point because perhaps you are not aware of it. It’s actually Poland who bought really lots of Starlinks for Ukraine. Poland pays subscription fees for Ukraine. It’s a business arrangement. Would the U.S. try to cancel it…?
U.S. pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's minerals threaten with a possibility of cutting the country's access to Starlink satellite internet system (critical for sustaining defence and offence)? This is why European Union must urgently build an independent system. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

We possess the technology to create products that nearly never break. We were doing it in the 70's & 80's.
Then came 'planned obsolescence' - intentionally designing products to become obsolete or break quickly within a set time frame.

First cheese cake and then dates (4th this christmas since I’ve given several as presents) cake. My baking bonanza has come to an end. After putting 200g of butter and 1dl of sugar in one of them, no wonder you’re not supposed to eat more than 1 piece per sitting.
