    Springtime work and bathroom 'renovations'. Why prompts are the new IOCs and a tool to detect malicious prompts, a guilty plea in the PowerSchool breach from last year, and sanctions against a Philippines based company involved in pig butchering scams. For fun we have the Tianwen-2 launch to collect asteroid samples, and a desktop UV printer on kickstarter that looks amazing.

    Mother's Day door painting and flower planting. The damages for the NSO hack of WhatsApp (6 years ago!) are now in, how passkeys work, and the breach of the Signal Clone in widespread use by the US Government. A Soviet satellite launched more than 50 years ago crashes back to earth (Finally?!), and livestreaming a volcano off the Oregon coast.
