We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following 404 Media reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted.

Cool. Atlanta’s alarm sounds like a red alert.
Nobody has moved despite it going off for ten minutes.
It’ll take Meta about 13 hours to make back that revenue in New Mexico. And about 4 and a half minutes to make back the fine in Los Angeles. (Google owes about 19 seconds worth of revenue.)
These fines are in no way punitive.
RIP to the car that was never going to come to market anyway. Gonna leave a big Sony-sized hole at CES though. www.engadget.com/transportati...
Project Hail Mary was really well done. It was nice to feel something good for a couple hours. 👎👎
Fun fact: The Amazon Fire Phone lived longer than the Samsung Galaxy Tri-Fold.
They … weren’t already?
Went to bed with the moon shining brightly through my window. Woke up to most of it missing on the drive to the gym. Briefly concerned that the age of Seveneves was upon us.
Thank you, Amazon, for the product safety alert for the grill brus I bought more than a decade ago. … That was a close call.
Oooooo. This might get me to finally kill the legacy blogblogblog cruft that’s still in my feeds. techcrunch.com/2026/02/19/c...

Switched to Carrd for ye olde family landing pages. Ghost was awesome — and I still definitely recommend it if you’re gonna #blogblogblog. But it’s way more than I need. Carrd was super easy and you can’t beat $19 a year.
Snow. Again. In Florida.

In: Brand-new 14-inch M4 Pro
Out: 2019 16-inch Intel i9
It’s like a whole new world. The good: Smaller bag. Less weight. Things … work. Fast. SD card reader.

In a world full of “content” and AI slop, this is good old-school blogging. And the point is spot-on. blog.adafruit.com/2025/12/30/n...
This is where we peaked.
It could tell hardware from the crash reports.
