apart from its inherent qualities as a comic strip, I really appreciate that Watterson resisted the urge to franchise and merchandise C&H. There's no animated movie, no tv show, no line of toys, no ipad game.

it exists in its entirety as a comic strip written and drawn entirely by one man.
Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

My tv just updated and told me it had “New Features!” and I cannot express how much I do not want my tv to have new few features, or really any features at all.

If you work with Entra, you'll want to bookmark and monitor this page 😎

Much of this is in Identity / Secure Score, but it's great to see security guidance cleanly laid out in one doc

You might think this is well known stuff, I assure you it is not :(

It’s hysterical to me how often the solution to any tech problem I might have is: turn it off and on again. The IT Crowd really knew what was up.

Dear Microsoft,
In the entire history of humanity, no one has ever been happy to find OneDrive as the default destination to save a file.
Cheers.

One of my biggest pet peeves: programs stealing focus.

I'll be typing along at 90+ wpm, and suddenly some software pulls up a window that captures the input, accepts my errant keystrokes, and starts doing stuff.

I go from being in a productive-zen zone to having to troubleshoot two different apps.

Happy independence day to all who remember why we declared independence and a very fuck off to those who think kings are good actually.

The death of tutorials with still pictures has been horrendous
So very true! I’ve found a lot of great niche hobby instruction via online videos, but last night I was pulling out my hair trying to find a written tutorial with still pictures rather than replaying the same three seconds of video over and over!

The "you need an account for everything" logic is a tyranny of digital life. I don't need to set up an account to schedule a hair cut!

Just found out about this really interesting fan theory connecting Oppenheimer, Napoleon and Killers of the Flower Moon into a shared cinematic universe. It's called "a history book"
