Any specifics on which windows install ISOs don't work? That way I'll know which ones will need a dedicated USB stick.

Yeah, girdling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girdling

I hadn't heard it used to get dry wood for harvesting but I recall it being useful because it actually kills the tree, so if you cut the tree down (after it's fully dead) the stump will decompose instead of trying to continue to grow.

I love Demeo, and I'm glad to get more Demeo content (that isn't a PVP arena). I was really hoping for a more in-depth RPG experience and this sounds like Demeo++, not _really_ Dungeons and Dragons in VR.

We'll see, though! I'm happy either way!

Can some folks in the cybersecurity arena recommend some good email newsletters, websites, blogs, accounts, etc to follow to keep up in the space?

Well, that was some time I'll never get back. What a fun little game.

Oh sorry, I missed that!

By no means an expert, but these are my thoughts:

1) probably not directly. Eventually the advertisers might notice a decrease in effectiveness lower their investment in that area (either by lowering the amount they are willing to give the creator for a sponsored segment or not doing sponsored content entirely). Eventually if they think the ROI isn't there they will reduce their spend.

2) You have to feed the algorithm beast to be successful. Even channels with high subscriptions still get a tremendous amount of views from YouTube's recommended algorithm. One big part of that algorithm is "Engagement" which includes the number of subscribers, likes, and any other engagement on the video (such as comments, which is why you'll see a lot of comment-bait questions in videos now like (if you disagree let me know in the comments).

There is a free service call Have I Been Pwned which uses your email address to see what data breaches you are part of (https://haveibeenpwned.com/).

While it uses your email to check (not SSN) odds are if they have your SSN in the dataset they also have your email.

Even then I've heard of some channels uploading ad-free versions of their videos for certain membership tiers.

I really liked the "visor" style of camera bump since the Pixel 6. I like symmetry so the square corner bumps always bothered me, plus it didn't give it a corner wobble when sitting on a table. I wish they would have gone full width on the new Fold :/

There are multiple products called "Defender", I believe "Microsoft Defender for Endpoint" (which is an enterprise product, not the consumer Defender AV) would be considered the same.

I _think_ at least, the enterprise software space is confusing as hell :)

I think the point about separation of Music and Podcasts is an important one for me as well.

I really don't like mixing the two, they have two different use cases imo. Drives me nuts how much Spotify pushes podcasts when I just want to listen to some tunes.

Eh, as a Product Manger I have more important things to worry about and you most likely are not the customer I would be targeting if I worked for a company like Braze.

Looks like they do direct sales which makes things like loading the website and "below the fold" significantly less important. Their focus is on lead generation so they can get sales folks talking directly to whoever the buyer persona at the company.

I want to follow your turret project :) I'm trying to teach my cat to stay off the counter and every other method of doing so hasn't worked.

Sad reminders to cherish the moments you have with those you care about because they are fleeting.

I think this is also a basic concept of the stock market that many people don't understand as well.

Because everyone is different?!

I know of a couple coworkers that do not have trouble concentrating in our open office, while I continually struggle to get deep thought done.

I just got the new skylake XPS 13 and am loving it. Fantastic hardware.

So eventually when the cost of finding/creating new materials makes recycling economically feasible we "mine" old landfills and use the materials. The landfill materials become the new raw material for manufacture.

Re: article from 1996

That is exactly what I was wondering. It would be awesome to have a follow up on this!
