Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-15-26
After two missed days due to having many work assignments, I return with a new edition of my Pook-Emu Bee links. Of course, there are no Pook-Emu Bee links tomorrow because of the newsletter and Sunday is hit and miss, so I encourage you to thoroughly enjoy today's links. 1. Microsoft BitLocker-protected drives can now be opened with just some files on a USB stick — YellowKey zero-day exploit demonstrates an apparent backdoor (Bruno Ferreira for Tom's Hardware. May 13, 2026.) I had never […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-15-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-30-26
Work did not allow for timely Pook-Emu Bee links, but today I return with nine new links from around the web. 1 Popular WordPress redirect plugin hid dormant backdoor for years (Bill Toulas for Bleeping Computer. April 29, 2026.) Not popular enough for me to have been using it (but do attend to the issue if you happen to be running Quick Page/Post Redirect on WordPress). 2. Waylay Callais!

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-28-26
I failed to post daily Pook-Emu Bee links on Sunday (out) and yesterday (work). But I return to you on this fair morning of April 28, 2026, with nine links from around the world wide web. 1. Hipster NYC straphangers fear third straight summer of hell on G train: ‘Here we are again’ (Nicole Rosenthal, Sofia Pozansky, and Haley Brown for the New York Post). I remembered having published a short post about G train upgrades and assumed that I had published it here on ECS.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-23-26
Delayed by work, but not denied, The drags on, Pook-Emu Bee links for April 23, 2026. 1. Hochul's Fast-Track Booze Permit Sets Stage for World Cup Street Parties Across New York (Reid Carlisle for Hoodline. April 22, 2026.) Their desperation to pretend that the World Cup is happening in New York City continues to lead to public nuisance as public policy. 2. Listening to criticism (Andrés at Wawawa Comics. April 22, 2026.) But my art teacher hated my work so much, I could hear his sighs […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-23-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-16-26
Today marks the 1957th anniversary of the death-by-suicide of the short-reigning Roman Emperor, Otho. I note this because my longest NLJ article, clocking it at more than 18,000 words, is about Otho. Fortunately, I also published some shorter Otho reading. But Otho aside, it is time for today's edition of Pook-Emu Bee links from around the web. 1. Gov.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-07-26
I have a few new work assignments today (Sad!) but more than enough time (or just enough time) for our regularly scheduled edition of daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. OpenAI calls for robot taxes, a public wealth fund, and a 4-day workweek to tackle AI disruption (Tom Carter for Business Insider. April 6, 2026.) I came across an article recently suggesting ways the big AI players could modify their PR approaches. I said it was impossible.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-30-26
I have work today, but let us start the work week with a new set of Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. New Apple Silicon M4 & M5 HiDPI Limitation on 4K External Displays (Sam McLeod. March 29, 2026.) As a Linux man, I am blown away by how advanced Macs are. They're already dropping support for legacy 4K. 2.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-27-26
I am publishing today's Pook-Emu Bee links a bit later than I had hoped due to having had a little bit more work on my recent assignment, but I now complete a second perfect week before our Saturday break for The Newsletter Leaf Jorurnal. 1. The next frontier in sports betting: the past (Molly Liebergall for Morning Brew. March 27, 2026.) I give the big tech and big AI companies plenty of grief in these pages. But I submit for the record that big gambling is worse. 2. Massive 40-foot whale […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-27-26/

I am busy with work today. But today is a day ending in -day that is not Newsletter Satur-day, so I briefly set aside my business to deliver my not-yet-world-famous Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. FCC bans imports of new routers made in other countries, on national security concerns (Brad Linder for Liliputing. March 23, 2026.) My MikroTik hAP ac3 should be supported for a long time. Maybe I will build my next router someday. See my related post from a while back on questions about TP-Link. 2. Sam […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-24-26/

Carroll Street Bridge Proposals
The Carroll Street Bridge is the second bridge crossing Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, situated between the Union Street and Third Street Bridges. It is the most interesting of the Gowanus Canal Bridges in that it is the only wooden bridge of the bunch and the oldest of three remaining retractable bridges in the United States (see Untapped New York article). Unfortunately, it has been closed since 2021 for repair and meintenance work. The Bridge is reportedly reopening in the near future (I am not […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/the-carroll-street-bridge-is-the-second-03-19-26/
