I've had trains cancelled due to copper theft from rail infrastructure in suburban Australia, which has a very high standard of living.

Be wary - I do not have an iPhone, and I once connected my AirPods to my wifes MacBook. They now chirp at me loudly every time I pick them up, automatically try to connect to her phone etc, and I cannot unregister them from her account. I want to add them to Find My - I cannot add them to Find My from my MacBook, I 'need' an iPhone or iPad to do that...

Hey ericlewis - this is cool! Can I ask how you figured it out?! Doing this for my PO-33 was on my bucket list. I thought I might have to resort to voltage glitching to get a firmware dump, which is currently beyond my skills.

The non-LLM version of this happened to me in a high school English class, back in the 2010's. I was accused of turning in a downloaded story from the internet, but in reality, I had pushed past the incredible barrier I usually felt at the start of a task, got into the flow, and started enjoying it.

I'm not sure if it had any lasting effects. Maybe a burning hatred of Grammarly ads.

It wasn't even a joke.

Pure chance - what should get assigned to me mere hours after reading this article but a ticket regarding SCIM users not being disabled with Entra...

> It turns out that Microsoft’s default behavior sends a boolean value as a string

> You can force Microsoft to send you the proper JSON if you use a certain feature flag (aadOptscim062020), but that’s really not an obvious solution!

Boom. That was exactly my issue.

> This sort of stuff is very time-consuming and demoralizing to resolve.

I would have sunk hours into this - thanks Ned O'Leary - you made my day!

Scavenger's Reign was really excellent - but as I was watching it, I had an inkling that I would likely be in a small cohort of people who love it.

Gravity Falls is another 'kids' show that is absolutely brilliant.

unfortunately, I have a feeling that in the age of LLMs, this junior on the team will have no impetus to actually put in effort and _think_ about such a problem
