Received some "NEMA 1-15P" 2-pole rewireable electrical plugs (seen on North American lamp cords, ungrounded small appliances, etc) yesterday, from an #AliExpress seller. Advertised as rated for 10A, but the shells actually have "15A" embossed on them, so strike one...
The plug #blades look like brass - the colour is pretty much spot-on - but they practically jump at a magnet. The #brass colour scratches off with a sharp blade, revealing shiny silver metal. It's steel. *Stainless* steel.
So, not just a scam, but a dangerous scam. Plain steel has about three times the resistance of the brass that electrical plug contacts are normally made from. Stainless steel is worse, around eleven times the resistance of brass. So you run a significant current through these - like, say, the 10 amps they're advertised for - and they will get hot, much hotter than brass. And as they heat up their resistance increases a *lot*. Which generates more heat. Rinse and repeat, then your house burns down.
Just posting as a reminder: AliExpress / #Temu / #Ebay / #Amazon third-party markets can be a great place for hobbyists to get cheap parts, but *never* trust that they are what they say they are. Check everything you get to make sure it's the real deal before using it if there are *any* safety implications of them being fakes. If you don't know and can't find out how to test it, buy the real thing.

Aye, there's the rub. "Thinned schoolkids' PVA white glue with red food colouring in it" would not be out of the question.
I've actually been getting less outright fakes and scams lately, after an uptick that lasted a couple of years. I wonder if Ali started enforcing their policies all of a sudden. Like, I'm ordering copper wire, and it arrives, and ... it's actually copper, not CCA or (for real...) steel. [1]
The stuff isn't even coming in 1-2 AWG smaller than specified as it usually does.
I feel like I'm in some weird parallel universe or something.
[1] You know, that real qwality copper wire, that's so good you can pick it up with a magnet.

Seeing as Todd Blanche (R - Mar-a-lago) is still attempting to nurse his nomination to Servitor General through the US Senate, I would like to inform him that the "presumption of regularity" is not, in fact, an old marketing slogan of the Ex-Lax Corporation.
Though given the reams of coverage in the legal press the term has attracted in the last 18 months, the company might consider using it as such.

I just renewed my vehicle registration/insurance. We have a provincial crown corporation here that has a monopoly on it.
I ran into a problem with their "new & improved!" website [1]. I always do. This one is boring; like 90% of the issues I run into, it's because the developers have only tested the site with Chrome, and they're violating CORS policy (a security thing) so Firefox prevents a request trying to fetch part of the page contents. Chrome doesn't give a damn, it doesn't want to stop any trackers or anything.
But the 🧑🍳 😘 in the whole thing is ... there are various "Feedback" links and buttons. I want to report the issue, so I try them, and ... they haven't actually provided the HREF attribute on the links/buttons at all. They are literally not hooked up to anything.
Good testing on the new site, boys! You sure you didn't miss testing any of the functionality?
[1] Why companies absolutely insist on regularly improving their websites into unusability escapes me. As I mentioned elsewhere, it's not like the HTML of the working site has a best-before date on it.

Oh, this is #fun.
#Applebot - Apple's web crawler, used for various things - is ignoring robots.txt rules governing crawling of websites.
I have Applebot (and Applebot-Extended, which isn't really a crawler) in my robots.txt files, set to disallow all access. Has been that way for #yonks.
And Applebot is consistently the highest-traffic crawler to my sites - at least of ones that actually bother to fetch robots.txt. Yesterday, for example, Applebot fetched robots.txt from one of my websites almost 800 times.
Yes, it's really Apple, not someone faking the user-agent identifier. It's coming from the networks that Apple says can be used to identify Applebot access. DNS matches, everything.
e.g. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/119829So: legendary Apple software quality. Documented to do the right thing, but actually doing the wrong thing. And completely failing to cache content, fetching the same file 800 times a day when it hasn't changed in years.
Hey, Apple! Need a software engineer who's actually, you know, good at it? I'm available.

In the last week or so, #Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella announced that they were going to pull back from doing new feature work for #Windows for a bit, and focus on bug fixes and other quality-of-life improvements for users and administrators. Windows' already shaky reputation has taken a beating over the last year as it seems that every monthly rollup #patch, and many out-of-band #patches, introduce new problems at the same rate as they fix previous ones.
Is this giving you deja vu? It should. Remember a couple or three years ago, when the same guy announced that Microsoft was going to focus on security? They were in the middle of a long spell of brutal security holes found in all their products. Remember how they told their #engineers "If you have to choose between doing a feature and doing security, choose security"?
Remember how you never heard about that initiative again?
It's the same thing here. #PR garbage in service of a narrative that no, Windows' horrible security, usability, and #stability aren't actually that bad, so that MS can focus on their core competencies of buzzword promotion, stock market analyst manipulation, and monopoly abuse.
Perhaps someone in Microsoft management actually believes these refocusing efforts are genuine - but if you don't change the incentives, they won't actually take hold.

The person who builds an extension for the proprietary OSes that tracks when a program (or the OS) puts up one of those infuriating "Yes / Maybe Later" dialogs and blocks them from ever showing a dialog, ever again, will make a fortune.
Even on open OSes, one for the browser that did this would be incredible.
