Deebster

The name, that is.

I was curious if Burp Suite's Dafydd Stuttard was Welsh, which led me to his AMA video.

PortSwigger was his handle when he was starting out, and was a pun about the fortified wine from Portugal and port scanners.

That vid also answers who is Peter Wiener.

A study in Current Biology reports that some “gifted word learner” dogs can learn category words that refer to how toys are used (such as tugging versus fetching) and extend those labels to new objects that serve the same function. In tests, these dogs chose the correct toy by function even when it looked different, a pattern reminiscent of how human infants group objects by purpose during early language learning.

When the postie comes, I'll be building a PC for the first time in years. What are the do's, don'ts and tips nowadays?

Obviously classics like RTFM, plan ahead and retrieve any dropped screws are evergreen.

Things I believe are true: tighten your CPU cooler screws evenly (like putting on a car tyre), all screws should be no more than finger tight, build in a dust-free environment.

What about grounding yourself? I remember reading that the danger of this was way overstated and e.g. anti-static wrist straps were a waste of money. Is building in a case that's plugged in (but powered off) enough?

I've seen recommendations to build outside of the case first to test components - is this good advice?

Anything else?

sync-on-luma is obsessed with Akira-style diagonal freight lifts and has made a video about their appearance in computer games. No sponsors or anything, just an unnecessarily deep dive into his favourite examples.
