TIL the network utility "Ping" was written by a single person in an evening in 1983, and he named it after the sound a submarine sonar makes

Denver pays $550,000 to man who lost an eye from rubber bullet in 2020 police riots
I’d rather have my eye… which tends to suggest the pay out was too low?

What is your pet peeve in 2024?
That every store wants you to sign up and have you give them your details.
When I bought a shirt in a department store a couple of years ago and the guy wanted me to give him my email address “to save paper” (yeah right), rather than give me a receipt. It was like we were having a stand off for a while there. I just want to buy a shirt not sign up for ongoing spam!

My dentist: got anything exciting coming up?

Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims
Reply in thread
Plenty of items on eBay are just people who buy from China directly and mark up prices. If it is likely made in China and I don’t want it quickly, I’ll buy off aliexpress. That said, alibaba wanted me to upload photo ID which I noped out of. Temu started spamming my email address when I’d never used them. The unsubscribe link went to their website said to adjust your account settings if you didn’t want spam… I never created and account and avoided them completely following that.
