1 Since they integrated Trello into Atlassian's cloud accounts quite some time ago (and also reduced free-tier functionality while jacking up the price), I wouldn't be surprised if it led to attacks on Jira/Confluence/BitBucket for customers not using two-factor auth.

I use Trello for planning out my Japan trips with my sister, because I haven't found a decent alternative for that sort of shared vacation planning.

2 Finally, Europe's naturally unpredictable regulatory environment bears fruit!

3 My new company got hit by this, and we're seeing some server outages.  An IT mailing list said that they've been restarting them, and also had to help about 80 people reboot their computers.  No mention of replacing hardware, but I doubt they'd say what they did if they weren't able to get the machines working again, and that doesn't mean other people couldn't be having worse problems.

4 "Can't buy it yet, but laptops are expected to be in stores before the end of the month."
The reports about this make me wish I needed a new laptop.

5 Along with Crowdstrike, there are an interesting array of failures appearing lots of places.  To use a word style from elsewhere - they vilify excellence, and then wonder why nothing works.

6 The Crowdstrike SNAFU hit my company hard. Our Azure hosted stuff was down for a very short time, but our legacy hosting center took several hours to respond to calls and get someone to physically access our servers. Our few on-premises servers that run our 24 hour response center went down, and were in a locked room that nobody could get into because the access card system was also down. For extra fun, most of our systems are bitlocker encrypted, and the bitlocker keys are in a database on a server that was... down. I'm sure we'll be reviewing some of our practices.

7 David, that is a truly impressive Catch 484.  (Catch 22 squared.)

8 Heavens!  Seeing that 484, I guess I'd never processed that the square of a number is also the product of the squares of its factors.  It makes sense, it's just something I'd never bothered thinking about.

Apple pies are delicious. But never mind apple pies. What colour is a green orange?
