Signal boosting the hell out of this. Because awareness is the best defense against hackers, thieves and assholes (and asshole thieving hackers).

Important for anyone on gmail!

Details:

You get an email from a familiar address

It has an attachment which also looks familiar and trustworthy, because that person has sent it to you before

You try to open the attachment and are shunted to a very realistic gmail login screen to “log back in”

If you do, your account is compromised.

To verify the incorrect login screen, check the url (shown above). The green lock symbol does not appear, and the actual url has spaces after it and extends way, way out into a string of more text.

Basically, if you’re logged in and click on something and are prompted to log in again, don’t do it.

Holy shit the first few times I went sailing on tallships was before this and we still had the ‘Does anybody else have a nokia, can I borrow your charger’ thing going on. It’s almost hard to remember how annoying it was because the current situation makes so much SENSE

having a flesh vessel is so annoying?????? like they have to be constantly watered, they have to be in specific temperature range to be comfortable, i’ve had a headache for like seven hours and nothing i do will get rid of it,

physical forms are so inconvenient??????????????

I knocked mine over yesterday and scraped off some of the outer barrier and it keeps sending me really annoying warning messages about it

blood.dll has caused an access violation exception

I still can’t figure off how to turn off the monthly compile time. It goes for like 7 days wrecks all the system and takes so much CPU time.

I got the wrong model, too, and there’s no returns or exchange policy. I’m trying to make do as best I can with aftermarket modifications, but even that’s a real bind. And then I have to deal with all the purists who try to tell me I should be happy with the model I was given.

Mine has a short in the warning and alert sensors, and keeps tripping the alarm system for absolutely no reason. It’s been taken to the mechanic many times, but the best they can do is recommend daily chemical baths for the wiring to keep it from arc-faulting constantly.

My uterus keeps trying to install this shitty bloatware that comes with certain dll processes and I keep refusing the update, then it goes through the whole defrag process deleting all those files.

My histamine system is faulty and triggers for no reason. I keep turning it down but I have to keep reapplying the patches daily.

On the plus side some of the case mods you can do are sick as hell.

My optical system’s permanently stuck on a really close focus setting, so I had to have extra camera lenses custom-made to sit in front of the vision chamber before it’ll notice anything more than 50cm away.

My optical system won’t quite come into focus. I got the extra lenses to correct it, but it’s not a huge difference so I do without until the system causes headaches from the strain. Also, the migraines that come with the monthly fail of the create!child program suck. DoubleSuck for the migraines that happen if I have not given the vessel caffeine for too long, and triple for the ones that happen for no reason

The Department of Awesome Automata seldom gets an opportunity to show off, but today they’re pulling out all the stops with this breathtaking Silver Swan automaton. Housed at the Bowes Museum in North East England, this exquisite 18th century clockwork bird was designed by designed and built by John Joseph Merlin along with London inventor James Cox.

The life-size swan automaton swims in a stream made of moving glass rods along with small silver fish. When it’s clockwork is wound up, a music box plays as the swan turns its head from side to side, preening her silver feathers, eventually spotting a fish in the water and then bending down to catch it.

In effort to preserve this extraordinary creation, the Silver Swan is only operated once each day. But we can watch it as many times as we like thanks to this video:

Brian Kane hacked this into the funniest thing I have seen in a while.

*Off screen* Alexa

*Fish lifts head*

*Off screen* What’s the weather?

*Fish with calm woman’s voice* Currently, in Cambridge it’s 45 degrees with showers. Tonight you can look for rainy weather with a low of 43 degrees.

This is pretty much the physical representation of my feelings about these devices.

(the bf: “You’re taking this too Siri-ously.”
me: *whacks him with a throw pillow*
the bf: “Help! See the violence inherent in the system!”)
