I have a remarkable neighbor.
At 73, Nancy is losing her eyesight to macular degeneration. She gets shots in her eyes but it’s a losing battle.
Tomorrow she’s flying to Mexico for a few weeks. In January she went to Turkey & Asia.
She is using the last of her savings to travel for as long as she can see. This may be the end of her money & her sight.
My admiration for her is boundless. She travels alone, sleeps in hostels & eats street food.
Nancy lives in the Now.
She is my shero.
University researchers have found an unpatchable security flaw in Apple Silicon Macs, which would allow an attacker to break encryption and get access to cryptographic keys.
The flaw is present in M1, M2, and M3 chips, and because the failing is part of the architecture of the chips, there’s no way for Apple to fix it in current devices

In 1979, only 0.6% of Americans aged 14 or older were illiterate.
Here in Today's Modern World of the Future™, 21% of Americans can't read; 54% read at a 6th-grade level.
This does not bode well.

Eat your vegetables!
"Plant-based and vegetarian groups had a higher intake of vegetables, legumes and nuts, and lower intake of dairy and meat. After adjusting for important confounders, such as body mass index, physical activity and pre-existing medical conditions, the plant-based diet and vegetarian group had 39% lower odds of the incidence of COVID-19 infection, compared with the omnivorous group."
