  • Nah - you’re complaining that you “were forced into handing your password to someone else” when there were at least six ways you could have avoided that:

    • you gone to the computer,
    • they send the computer to you,
    • you remote in to the computer,
    • you tell them “suck it, you should have blocked iCloud sign-in with MDM” or, as others mentioned,
    • you sign out before handing the computer back or, my favourite,
    • don’t sign in to personal accounts on work devices even if they bug you to.

    Finally, we release devices like this all the time through our ABM account. It takes 5 days maximum. Your IT team led you up the garden path.
















  • It’s not a secret, just hard for amateurs to do. No doubt states with space monitoring equipment always knew. He just did it with a camera in his backyard and his laptop.

    Also, he’s Finnish.

    Amateur observations of the spaceplane indicate it is flying in a highly elliptical orbit ranging between 201 and 24,133 miles in altitude (323 and 38,838 kilometers). The orbit is inclined 59.1 degrees to the equator.

    This is not far off the predictions from the hobbyist tracking community before the launch in December. At that time, enthusiasts used information about the Falcon Heavy’s launch trajectory and drop zones for the rocket’s core booster and upper stage to estimate the orbit it would reach with the X-37B spaceplane.




  • Humans and Neanderthals were neighbours for longer than previously thought. Also, we’re maybe back to humans making more tools.

    …the discovery of more of its remnants alongside human fossils points to Homo sapiens inhabiting central Germany at the same time.

    “It turns out that stone artefacts that were thought to be produced by Neanderthals were in fact part of the early Homo sapiens tool kit,” says Jean-Jacques Hublin, a professor in palaeoanthropology at Collège de France.

    “This fundamentally changes our previous knowledge about this time period: Homo sapiens reached northwestern Europe long before Neanderthal disappearance in southwestern Europe.”

    Is there more?
