  • There is a book called “Tiny Habits” by BJ Fogg. He invented most of the techniques companies like Meta use to manipulate you and me.

    In the book, he explains how to use the same techniques to control your own behavior.

    I personally am in much better physical and mental state since I read it.

    You cannot beat yourself up until you improve. It does not work. It is a myth.

  • “The Apprentice,” a dramatized origin story about Donald J. Trump, has faced fierce criticism from the former president and his allies.

    The thing I am excited about is that they are not talking about suing for defamation. That makes me think it must be super true.

    I could be completely wrong, but I think we would hear if it is a puff piece.

  • Exactly. I can’t remember syntax for all the languages that I have used over the last 40 years, but AI can get me started with a pretty good start and it takes hours off of the review of code books.

  • [email protected]: How well do sites like Blacklight work for checking if sites use trackers?
  • I posted a link to B&H photo and it found a couple

    Blacklight Inspection Result Blacklight works by visiting each website with a headless browser running custom software built by The Markup. To learn more, read our methodology. 3 Ad trackers found on this site. This is less than half the average of seven that we found on popular sites 2 Third-party cookies found. This is less than the average of three that we found on popular sites Tracking that evades cookie blockers wasn't found. Session recording services not found on this website. We did not find this website capturing keystrokes. Facebook Pixel not found on this website. This site allows Google Analytics to follow you across the internet. Some of the ad-tech companies this website interacted with: The inspected website contacted some well known actors in the ad-tech industry. Not all of these loaded trackers, so they may be different from those listed in the tests section above. For more information on each company, what it does, and which of its domains Blacklight found during the inspection, click the arrow. Reading this can give you a better idea of how the ad-tech industry works. Alphabet See Something Worrying? Tell us about it

    Blacklight results should not be taken as the final word on potential privacy violations by a given website. Rather, they should be treated as an initial automated inspection that requires further investigation

  • My Logitech mouse list features

    Is it just me? My logitech mouse has lost the scroll will and other features apparently to turn them back on I have to enable web access to run my mouse.

    Why?

    I presume this is so they can track me and sell data.

    Help! Trying to Shell Out of Excel

    I am trying to shell out of VBA in excel and I keep getting permissions issues. So far I have tried:

    Full Disk Access

    Accessibility

    Developer Rights

    chmod

    Quarantine

    Shell function

    AppleScriptTask function (with full disks access and Accessiblity, and Developer Rights)

    All of the pieces work independently. I can call it from the command line and as an apple script from osascript

    The MOST frustrating thing its that once I got the permissions correct on Apple Script, then the excel AppleScriptTask function stopped working. The command that used to work now throws an Error 13 Type Mismatch. I have double checked, triple checked and had Chat GPT write the code. There is not type mismatch - and it worked fine before I fixed the permissions on Apple Script.

    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
