  • It’s not ‘insanely paranoid’ when it is correct.

    Even the really big boys have shit security and almost no one invests in it.

    I was called ‘insanely paranoid’ for not wanting any IoT things in my house even though I am an IT guy.

    I told them ‘I don’t want IoT things in my house BECAUSE I’m an IT guy and know what I’m talking about.’

    They ignored me of course, even companies that paid for my opinion and services.

    And some paid the price, but funny enough that didn’t stop them from insecure practices, it just made them choose another brand of insecure IoT devices to replace the old.












  • After 4 decades of active video game play, the last year or so has been very empty for me.

    Nothing seemed to be satisfying, nothing captured my attention for long.

    Sure I got my Elden Ring character ready for the DLC, but not with enthusiasm.

    Sure I made it to diamond in Duel Masters finally, but it brought me no joy.

    I bought Palworld last night on a whim and it has been 15 hours and the only time I have stopped was to take care of basic needs.

    I am engaged, excited, and enthusiastic to game for the first time in a very, very long time. And the last time I liked a game this much it was Elden Ring at launch and I literally did nothing for 3 months than eat, sleep, work and Elden Ring.

    I feel that Palworld is heading in the same direction.

    Is there jank? Sure, but nothing that has broken my enjoyment yet.
