What a time. This is a hardware emulator for a floppy drive. It’s successfully will lie to any and all systems and present itself as a floppy drive with a disk inside, and then write to a USB key 😘 https://amzn.to/3ySGWtR

I have always thought this should be possible and I can't believe you can just buy it for $32 now!

Amazing set up. But mind removing the blur in the photo? Lol.

I took the photo that way 😎

I've found no one cares so long as its not 360p.

You wouldn't believe the number of comments I get on my livestreams saying "why is your video so blurry today is your camera out of focus" and then 2 minutes later they come back with "oh my YouTube player switched to 360p all good"

Well planned. My long layovers are always somewhere… regrettable.

Well planned, or the only way to get back to the US? 🤷‍♂️ Turns out there's not a lot of flights to/from New Zealand in Winter just a few months after they opened their borders!

Thanks! It’s honestly surprising. Also, Hawaii! Nice one.

20-hour layover on the way back from New Zealand! 😅

You’ve released a YouTube video that’s outperforming your averages by leaps and bounds. And, it’s growth is accelerating, not decelerating! Do you… double down on promotion, sharing, etc.… or leave it the eff alone, lest you rock the boat?!

wow just checked, congrats!

IMO leave that video alone but double down on new similar content!

Clearly YouTube is finding an audience for it, and if you try to push a new audience, they might lower the CTR or watch time ratio

@aaronpk I really like this photo

Thanks! It's funny, it was just a quick snap while at the park, I didn't think too much about it, but I like it too!

Eaton (disclaimer: my employer) has smart circuit breakers that you can install on a standard BR panel. Advanced metering and remote operation support. No display though, everything is accessible through an app. https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/catalog/electrical-circuit-protection/energy-management-circuit-breaker.html

oh heck yeah, and looks like there's a good API for it too! I'm going to look into this for my house build

@aaronpk have you been able to take a look at this yet?

I saw! My accounts don't have access to the feature yet unfortunately. Looks promising though!

Yes, the Dropbox "app key" is the "client ID" from the OAuth 2 spec, and is not considered secret. Here are several resources regarding OAuth 2 security and best practices that may be a helpful reference: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6819

Yes. They’ve triggered a password reset email, and now want you to hand over the code so they can take over your account.

Exactly, which is why we need to make strong non-phishable MFA much more accessible and stop using SMS for this

Super weird thing I just realized. Because of the Earth's axis tilt, it gets dark in Portland and Auckland *simultaneously* but only in July. This is probably why it's been so hard for me to adjust to local time this trip.

In December, this line flips the other direction and we share a simultaneous sunset with the west coast of Mexico and west coast of South America.

Or move the conference?

I mean, it's a locally organized conference with Kansas City in the name of the conference, so I'm not sure it would really be the same conference if it were moved to a different state 😅

Oh! While I hear from you. Are you still in aotearoa? Tempted to ask you for a jar of manuka honey 😅

Oh I would, but my return itinerary is so complicated that I don't want to risk anything by checking bags!

So glad to work for a company and CEO who aren't afraid of taking a public stance like this! Thank you Todd! https://twitter.com/toddmckinnon/status/1544046909307752448

Let's take this one step further. @okta is sponsoring a developer conference in Missouri next month, and I'm scheduled to give a talk there too.

Let's take the money we would have spent on booth swag and donate it to a local abortion fund. What do you say @toddmckinnon?

I think you are the only one. But if they had tests that measure how much smell/taste you have lost I might have done the same. #cantsmellmyownfart

Oh I definitely kept my data too! I was getting PCR tests every day so I had the CT number to track!
