Last night I went for a small walk but tonight it was raining, then it would stop then it would suddenly start raining again – I’ve learnt my lesson from last time and that is to not go out and risk getting stuck in a downpour given that I got absolutely drenched and it took ages for my running shoes to dry even when positioned near the dehumidifier.

I was watching a video on YouTube talking about a person who lost their job because they recorded exactly when money would be picked up from the store – basic security completely ignored for the clicks and social capital. I really don’t understand why anyone would put their job at risk let alone telling people where they work. There is a reason why I never mention the place where I work – what I do off in the real world is completely anonymous which is one of the reasons I like having that anonymity of being online – the space between my professional life and my private life is maintained in much the same way there is a firewall between religion and politics in the United States constitution. I really have to wonder why people don’t think about the consequences but I guess for some people they need to find out the hard way.

Chrome 140 will be released next week which will most likely be on Wednesday New Zealand time. Another interesting thing that has popped up in my WIndows Update is the preview release of the next update to Windows 11 which will be released around the 9 September (KB5064081). Windows 11 25H2 is rumoured to be released around October-November. Personally I would sooner Microsoft take as much time as they need to get it right – unless it is a security update then I can understand the need to get it out asap but for everything else I would sooner see more testing rather than the adoption of the Facebook way of thinking which amounts to “move fast, break things”.
