#twit — Public Fediverse posts

@leo @mikahsargent A friend was just listening to the May 3rd #Twit on her Siri HomePods and she just told me she thinks ALL PODCAST HOSTS' VOICES should be ignored by smart speakers!

Of COURSE that would mean Alexa wouldn't work for you ... but she thinks that should be your punishment for saying that "activation word" out loud multiple times during that 5 minute segment! 😂

Evidently y'all kept activating her echo in her kitchen! She ended up unplugging it! 😉

Finished first #CyberSecurity class for #CollegeCreditPlus (college classes for high school students) certification. Got an A.

The reason is simple -- 15 years of #SecurityNow with Steve Gibson (@SGgrc) on #TWIT.

Also, it was summer break from #k12 work, so had time to do the work. We'll see what happens during the school year, when I'm busy with #ESOL (#ESL) stuff.

Next fall, I'll be teaching cyber security to high school students for college credit. And doing ESOL stuff.

✝️ Millennial saint: Pope Leo XIV said the canonization of Carlo Acutis will take place on September 7. Acutis, who was 15 when he died from leukemia, used his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith by creating a website that documented reports of miracles. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/europe/carlo-acutis-canonization-date-announced-intl-scli #faith #love #TWiT #tech #technology #technews #technologynews #HighTech #TechToday #TechThatMatters #faithandtech

Got accepted for a program to credential high school teachers to teach college classes (#Ohio's #CollegeCreditPlus program). Doing the paperwork stuff now - so much fun.

I'm an #ESOL teacher. I'll be taking classes to get credentialed to teach college-level #CyberSecurity. Have to take 4 or 5 graduate-level classes. Might have to do a pre-req or two.

Luckily, I've been listening to #TWiT and #SecurityNow for over 10 years at this point (maybe closer to 15?), so I feel pretty well prepared.

Everyday Burdens - I have come to realize that email spam filters are a lot like being taught the Bible, faith, God, good and evil. Teaching it what's not junk/bad what is good/right is hard! There are limitations to understanding and acceptance and this doesn't just apply to children.

@leo listening to #TWiT 903. Re: #AirDrop and #Apple turning it off in #China, I understand how it can be seen that Apple is cooperating with China Govt.

I also can see that people have been #swatted there - caught with illicit documents and information that were airdropped to their phones.

A bad-actor airdrops something to someone else, then turns them in for having something they shouldn't have on their phone.

I don't know who is right.
