Somewhere in the bowels of a building in Redmond WA, is a terminal nobody knows about; that some now fired employee needed to type “plugh” into every 30 days to keep their logic bomb from detonating. How’s that multi-thousand headcount reduction working out for you, @Microsoft

Trump dumping his Nvidia stock a few weeks before this Chinese spy story dropped is the least shocking thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Straight to jail.

“Hosted, cloud based is SO much better than having to maintain your own servers!” How’s that working out for you there, Chief?
Microsoft Outlook is down. Microsoft 365 issues are cutting people off from their email, as well as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft 365 Copilot theverge.com/tech/1032226/mi…

Hey @HomeDepot don’t promise next day deliver on your website only to find out when the item is paid for the delivery time is actually a week away. You people are insufferable assholes for pulling that shit.

THE. WRONG. OLD. PEOPLE. KEEP. DYING! 😡🤬 RIP Walter Koenig. 🖖
This was just posted over on Facebook by @GeorgeTakei . #AdAstra Walter - and Pavel 🖖 My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date. Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

The HHGttG logo, only instead of saying “Don’t Panic ”, it says “Don’t PHP” #PHP To my fellow sysadmin friends, you have my permission to panic, today. And to have a pint or 20. Probably a good day to put your towel over your head (you do have a towel , right?).

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?! 42%?!?!?! 🤦‍♂️🤯 A new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll shows 55% of likely Georgia voters disapprove of Trump’s job performance, compared with 42% who approve. ajc.com/politics/2026/10/pol… #USPolitics #GSPolitics

The clear vinyl sleeve hadn’t even had time to properly stick to the Polaroid on her WH credentials yet. At least maybe they can reuse the lanyard for the next fool? It probably still has that “new lanyard” smell.

Come on @TeamYouTube help get Eddie's YouTube channel back, it's been over a week now.
Replying to @TeamYouTube
@teamYouTube My YouTube channel (KissAnalog) got hacked. They took control of my Google email address and changed the password so recovery efforts do not work. This happened just before 6 PM MST today 29th September 26.

Does anyone recognize this image? I think it was an original Apple stock wallpaper/background image, but I don’t remember from what iOS version or what it was called. #Apple #iOS #wallpaper #images
