Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not

MacOS still messes up your Desktops when you unplug an external display. But I found a workaround. This drives me nuts every single time. I use a MacBook + an external monitor, and I keep multiple Desktops on each - all organized for different things. Then I unplug the
