Good news: ChatGPT is not leaking private chat content between users.

Bad news: Your account got hacked. (Ars Technica)

ChatGPT has no option for two-factor authentication.

But if you're sharing confidential information with a chat bot you're an idiot in the first place.

Microsoft Edge stole my Chrome tabs. (The Verge)

Edge has a setting where it will automatically import all your data from Chrome. And that setting sometimes mysteriously turns itself on.

You can turn it off, but the option is hidden under a special URL that can only be accessed from within Edge.

Gee, thanks.

I discovered Edge did this shit when I installed Win 11 to play with. This was a clean install to a new partition. I hadn't even installed Chrome or Firefox, and Edge popped up with all my favorites and bookmarks.

The damned thing imported this from a Chrome installation on another partition Windows was installed to.

I have several Windows installs on different partitions. Edge imported from the first one it found, I think, which turned out not to be my main install of Win 10, but another one. I realized this when I noticed some of the bookmarks weren't there, and finally figured out, oh, that was from another Chrome instance.

I drink oat milk lattes at work because the alternative is 2% dairy milk, which I hate. I got used to the oat milk, it's better than the 2%. I'm curious about olive oil in coffee, though. I'd take one sip to see what it's all about and I'd be surprised if it was any good.

MCT oil in coffee seems to be a thing. Nutritionists are split as to whether it's a good thing or not. It seems to depend on the individual. Some will eat more, some will eat less.

MCT oil is a supplement made from medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat that is easier to digest and absorb. It may help with problems taking in fat or nutrients, weight loss, appetite control, extra energy, inflammation, and more...

You can probably buy MCT Oil at Whole ~~Paycheck~~ Foods, health food store, or Amazon. On Amazon some people buy it by the gallon on a subscription plan.

I don't think anyone should leap into that much at first. Maybe 32 ounce bottle to try for a few weeks.

It's not. One man managed to pretty much accomplish it while both parties (including Ted Cruz) furiously and angrily fought against him at every decision.

That's what makes it so irritating. It would be trivially easy to end 90% or so of the illegal crap right now, and send 90% of the illegals home over the next two years.

But they represent money laundering, House representation, and outright votes to continue the money laundering part.

Also I no longer have any real doubt there is some sort of collaboration/agreement with cartels, be it formal or informal. Both authorities get what they want in this setup.

184 I put MCT, cream and cacao in my first coffee of the day. Plus a little pink salt. I have a milk frother to incorporate everything.

Also, since it's just me for the first cup I do a pour over brew.

185 In my little corner of NoVA, there are those snotty, pretentious, We Believe signs in the front yards. Then it lists a cascade of Proggy beliefs. Every owner of said sign MUST take in a couple of families from the rich diversity of our globe pouring over the wide open borders.

They BELIEVE after all.

188 And when the shy lady sea turtles comes out of her shell, the male turtle has to be very careful while dating in case he says something to hurt her and she had turtle recall even years later.

189 186 There was an apartment building, couple dozen units, in Fort Smith that really had a latino flair to it. Laundry hanging on the balcony, dish antennas, peek up trucks with the horse decal in the window. Some years ago the feds raided one of the local Tyson plants and the cry of "la migra" went through those apartments. Place emptied out overnight.

After reading that 'Bleeping Computer' article, I started looking at the other articles linked to that page. A quick scan proves that the best defense anybody can do for their IT products is to never turn them on.

191 When they talk of illegals and Denver, do they throw in Aurora, CO?

*******

Denver proper is less than 1 million population, but 11 of the top 20 cities by population are suburbs or greater Metro Denver area. Aurora is third most populous behind Denver and Colo. Spgs. The illegal immigrant impact is felt throughout, perhaps Denver and Aurora the most. Also noticeable in Greeley (meat packing industry) and the resort towns.

195 6 Olive oil in coffee? Reminds me of the flap about some additive they tried putting in potato chips in the late '90s that had people dashing for the head, or worse, leaking while asleep. It also had the letters "olea" in it. Anybody remember?

Getting here really late, but hopefully you'll see this Wolfus.

It was Olestra (brand name Olean).
