Did you know that there’s an implementation of TLS 1.3 in JavaScript? It’s called subtls. buff.ly/3qLSwXq There’s an effective demonstration of the library in action, showcasing a page that fetches itself, showing all the diagnostic information. buff.ly/3nPIxzi

So @PayPal's money request feature continues to be a never ending stream of virtual panhandling. Latest fun, scammers pretending to be @RegionsBank asking for money.

If Valorant could find a way to match the teams more evenly, or reduce the impact that one or two good players can have on a match, I think the game would be a lot more enjoyable. If I stop playing, it'll be because I no longer want to play 21 unfun games to play the 9 funs ones.

So my experience is that Valorant mostly put me in uneven matches where the other team was much better than my own. A full 40% of all my games were where I lost to an overpowered team. 30% of all my games were where I won against an underpowered team.

The uneven games were 21 out of 30 matches. That's a lot of matches to slog through with one team dominating the other. And it doesn't matter if I won or lost, either it was brutal losing or boring winning. Out of 21 uneven games, I won 9 and lost 12.

I tracked my last 30 competitive games, of those, only 9 were evenly matched, of which I won 5 and lost 4. But the interesting thing is that it has been near 50/50 the entire time I tracked it. Insight: when the teams are evenly matched, they are pretty even. Super fun!

First, know that I'm talking about competitive play. Teams are matched based on rank and should be roughly even. They are not usually. I define an evenly matched game as both teams win at least 10 rounds. Less than that, it's an uneven match.

I've been tracking some stats from my games in @PlayVALORANT. The game is really fun when the teams are evenly matched, but it turns out that's only 30% of the time. The other 70% of time it's uneven and usually terrible. If you're interested, some stats follow...

Where to spend it first….
Looking forward to receiving my 16 cents from the Apple class action settlement. And in case you're wondering, the attorneys walked away with $3.7 million and another $2.4 million was set aside to pay for the cost of sending me 16 cents.

That’s a LOT of cutting edge security research.

I realize I'm one of only three people using the @netflix DVD service, but I'm going to miss being able to get movies, tv shows, and instructional videos that the streaming services don't have.

"It's also clear that my identity theft was made possible, in no small part, by the very companies and officials who were supposed to prevent it." Often, victims are left in the dark about how the fraud occurred, but this offers a view for one case. businessinsider.com/credit-c…
