Top Story
- It's the weekend again and that means something, I don't remember what. Beer, maybe. Do I like beer?
- The FBI searched the data of millions of Americans without warrants. (Bloomberg)
I am shocked, shocked, to find that the FBI is the largest organised criminal gang in the country.
Even the ACLU is against it. Probably because they got searched, but whatever.
Tech News
- Huawei's new Mate Xs 2 has a neat flexible screen that wraps around three sides of the phone. (Liliputing)
Only problem is (1) it costs $1500, (2) you can't get one, (3) because Huawei is a spy agency.
- Guess 16 states just aren't going to get any mail then. (Ars Technica)
So long, suckers. Rarely a good idea to sue the people who provide you with essential services.
- There's not just a shortage of good employees - companies are actively hiring the wrong people. (ZDNet)
Communists. They mean communists.
- Arm has re-established control of its rogue Chinese joint venture, maybe. (Tom's Hardware)
The former CEO of Arm China was fired for using the company as his personal plaything... And simply refused to leave. He had a lot of loyal staff because they were making out like bandits looting the company.
The moral of the story is fuck China.
- Which is also the moral of my day. Woke up to an abuse ticket on one of my servers. Someone had sent a spam report because they got a bounce message because a Chinese spammer had sent, well, spam to my server with a fake sender address and it got rejected, a trick referred to as a Joe job.
At least it didn't take me long to figure out and the hosting company accepted the explanation.
Oh yeah. The spam came from China, which is not a country I would trust with food products of any kind.

When you talk about disparagement, it really has to be something that disparages.

Actively hiring the wrong people - heh.
Nothing new there, I was seeing that all during my IT career.

HR just sent down an employee mental-state survey, so make sure your coding socks are pulled up, freshen your lipstick and get ready to put they/them near the top!
