I got to admit, I’d be livid if I lost money via Zelle, and once Zelle was forced to refund customers, it implements a simple fix THAT IT COULD HAVE DONE YEARS AGO but instead let fraudsters run wild. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

Why does @Acrobat Reader on the Mac force me to sign in every time I use it? Guess it’s time to uninstall. There are a lot of choices for PDF readers, including the one that comes with my Mac. Baffled at their strategy, but best wishes with that.

Everyone hates the dumb download bubble in @googlechrome (do a search, dozens of articles explaining how to revert), but the Chromium team doubled-down and removed the ability to revert.

the video reactions thing that @apple added to Sonoma as a default is so bad that now telehealth sites are begging people to understand that it's not their fault.

I suggested something similar for the Bar exam. If practicing attorneys believe it’s a valuable tool to evaluate attorneys, then they can take it too periodically. No one wants to do that because it’s really an anti-competitive tool.
Replying to @alfiekohn
Kohn’s Korollary to Meier’s Mandate: Politicians or corporate figures who talk sanctimoniously about the need to “raise the bar” and demand “tougher standards” (via "rigorous" high school exams) should be required to take these tests themselves…and have their scores made public.

Last month, the @owasp Board of Directors met in Amsterdam. This is what we talked about over the course of three days. owasp.org/blog/2023/10/25/ow…
My CC number was stolen and so the fun of updating my auto-pays means I typically miss a couple. @ATT for whatever reason didn't notify me that my payment was declined. Instead, they wait 3 days and told me that my auto-pay discount was revoked. 🙄

I have a single litmus test if my child’s school is good or bad: does my child want to go each day?
When a child repeatedly or emphatically says, “I don't want to go to school!”, what's the parent's first reaction? To compel (or figure out how to induce) the child to go? Or to try to figure out what's going on at school?

Learning the hard way that unless there’s free return shipping on @amazon, the high cost of shipping means there’s effectively no returns. I wrote a greasemonkey script to alert on products that don’t have free return shipping. Those items I’m no longer buying on Amazon.
Me: I wonder what Google's Security Command Center Premium costs? Google's pricing calculator: it's freeeeeee! 🙄

Not being able to pay with @PayPal on my @Apple iTunes account is super annoying. More annoying: when Apple complains my card isn’t working. @Apple YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM IF I COULD PAY WiTH PAYPAL.
Not in your threat model.

Have my doubts that selling training for certs is going to move the "cyber workforce" needle. But I'm open to being wrong. Perhaps the below orgs can share how many people with no experience obtain a full-time cyber job after achieving one of their certs?
