Andrew is one of the easiest people to work with. Always an A+ experience when he wrote for pubs I was at. Pick him up while you can!

This week I started "Safe Mode," a new security & privacy newsletter for PCWorld! Each edition will be a quick dispatch, a sort of weather report of what dangers to watch for and how to prepare. Sign up here: www.pcworld.com/newsletters/... And the 1st edition: www.pcworld.com/article/3164...

I write about online scams. A fake Nvidia livestream still almost fooled me

A classic example of how hackers and scammers trip us up.

Two kinds of people exist: Those who clean up after themselves in an event's media room and Those who leave their trash behind. I definitely notice who leaves their crumpled napkin and half-drunk cup of Pepsi for the venue's staff to deal with.

My favorite thing about Bluesky is not checking it regularly and trying to figure out what video game controversy I just stumbled into.

Huge fan of this, especially given that this will likely cost CAH money. (Logistics of having to process & issue refunds.)

Honestly, this would be a better response than most job offer rejections. (1 - You actually get a response.) (2 - It actually is truly a 'it's us, not you' situation)

Writing always makes very clear to me the state of my brain. I always have to move parenthetical or clauses to places where other brains can digest them more easily. But yes, it is asterisks and footnote city up in here.

I hate everything about the new look and feel to Android. I would like a button to go back. I'm old and straightforward. I'm not looking for cute and bubbly in my UI.

I accidentally saw Charlie Kirk's gruesome murder. I STRONGLY recommend avoiding watching it -- but clips are being shared widely on social networks. Here's how to disable autoplay, which is the default for all social networks. www.pcworld.com/article/2906...

NEW: @apnews.com has now been barred from an event in the Oval Office because it "did not align its editorial standards with Trump's EO renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America." In other words, b/c @apnews.com ACCURATELY calls it the "Gulf of Mexico," it is now being punished by Trump.
