Well, sure, you do that. And when you're done, I've got a little list...

- The Surgeon General wants to put tobacco warning labels on social media. (NBC)
Let's just pretend you never said that.
- Realtek has shown of its new 5Gb Ethernet switch chips. (AnandTech)
I mentioned just the other day that 5Gb Ethernet exists on PC motherboards, but 5Gb Ethernet switches don't exist at all.
The only option available is to find a 10Gb switch that supports 5Gb as well - not all of them do.
These new switches should be cheaper and use significantly less power than 10Gb, and 5Gb is still a pretty decent speed.
- Understanding SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, a simple guide, Volume 1 of 37. (GitHub)
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to target spammers with cluster bombs?
- Hackers are trying to extort money from Snowflake customers. (Bloomberg)
At least ten companies have received extortion demands. As many 165 companies have been affected by the breach, which Snowflake is still blaming on security practices of its users - none of whom have reported recent breaches unrelated to Snowflake.

I got bit by the Adobe thing a couple of years ago--I needed PDF editing capabilities for a couple of weeks. Imagine my surprise when I tried to cancel and saw the ETF. Frigging company. I canceled it after the year and my current plan is to never buy anything from them again, so I hope they enjoyed their brief ill-gotten gains. If I have to edit PDFs again I'll make sure work pays for it or find another product.
