Welcome to 2024
"At least five state Capitol Buildings were placed under lockdown and evacuated on Wednesday (January 2) after receiving bomb threats.
The threats were made in Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, and Connecticut.
The first threat was made just after 8:30 a.m. ET in Georgia. Gabriel Sterling, the COO for the Georgia Secretary of State, posted on X that there would be a delayed opening at the Capitol due to a bomb threat."

@rick_viscomi OMG, it's so much worse when you factor in INP:
Next is going to get your site rekt; presumably the overall React scores are dragged upward by Wix and Squarespace? Wild.

By the way, I'm saying this partly because I've been using ChatGPT a lot today as I wade through some unfamiliar waters in my job, and it hasn't been correct even one single time. Once it even gave me a completely paradoxical answer that obviously contradicted itself.
The future!

@rick_viscomi The nominal point of React was better experiences, which aren't materialising for users.
The nominal point of Next was to fix React. It's not working.
Your best bet is to avoid at all costs.

Via @rick_viscomi, the CWV dashboards tell a compelling story about why your public-internet-facing website should absolutely avoid React and Next.js:

Notes:
- The button sequence varies by device model, but most recent iPhones use the one described
- I don’t think it's possible to do a restore in Finder without it erasing the device first, I used iMazing which is more flexible (https://imazing.com not a sponsored post, I just like it)
- You may need to enter your passcode twice after the restore, at which point the device will show an "attempting data recovery" screen for several minutes (make sure you enter the correct passcode!)

If your iPhone has been bricked during the update to iOS 17.3 beta 2:
- Download the iOS 17.3 beta 1 IPSW on your Mac (https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2023WinterSeed/fullrestores/052-20038/3F493ABA-9230-4B7C-9C61-D85B3DC79504/iPhone16,2_17.3_21D5026f_Restore.ipsw)
- Plug iPhone into Mac
- Press volume up, then volume down, then press and hold the side button until the recovery mode screen shows up
- Use iMazing (preferred) or Finder to restore the IPSW (in Finder, hold down Option when clicking the restore button to select the IPSW)
- Your iPhone should be successfully restored without any data loss (see reply!)

I've already said this, but I'll repeat here:The feds need to keep this simple.
If a woman dies because an emergency room doctor declines to perform a necessary procedure the doctor and administrators of the hospital should be charged with felony murder ( 18 U.S.C. 1111).

"Monsters?"
"Masked, trying to appear as normal as you or I!"
I keep my expression neutral. "Yes, there are people wearing masks, but they're not the monsters."
"Then who are?"
"Those who make masks needed."

But I checked, and Snopes says it's true. https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/08/02/us-literacy-rate/
How discouraging and infuriating.

- Manga style self-portrait, looking straight at the viewer. Left half of the image is dedicated to spooky things in black and white, right is dedicated to kawaii and nerdy things in neon pink and white. Long black hair with pink strands in the front, blue eyes and wearing a simple ankh necklace. The clothing on the black side has a spiderweb design, on the pink side circuit board style decor is found. In the background small drawings, fitting to the color, can be found. On the black side bats, skull, spider, ghost, moon and stars are visible. On the pink side cat, shark, usb stick, floppy disk and Tetris pieces are visible. (remote)
