Eine Meldung eines angeblichen Datenlecks von 16 Milliarden Zugangsdaten macht derzeit die Runde. Vieles davon ist jedoch alt.«
Auch die alten Daten können zur Unsicherheit führen, da nicht überall alles aktualisiert wird - weshalb auch immer. Trotz all dem sollte mensch die Aufmerksamkeitspanik im Sommerloch skeptisch nachgehen und nicht jegliches als Zero-Day Hacks wahrnehmen.

Oren Cass has a knack for reverse engineering a reasoned explanation for Trump’s latest policy, only to fall out of sync when it turns out Trump doesn’t work that way.
Here he is last week lamenting how “commentators stuck in the old world seem confused” in worrying about the US being dragged into a war with Iran. Instead, he explains confidently, Israel will “handle its own business”, while an “America First” US will “step back from conflicts in the Middle East”.

Some years ago, to avoid missing files when copying course materials to a different drive (e.g., a USB stick), I started copying (instead of symlinking) all files into the corresponding directory.
Obviously, the downside is that lots of duplicate files accumulate, including large files, like videos. So I thought about ways to deduplicate them... Some hours later:
TIL that on APFS, files copied via the Finder are cloned. So many of the “duplicate” files actually don’t take up extr…
