g.co, Google's official URL shortcut (update: or Google Workspace's domain verification, see bottom), is compromised. People are actively having their Google accounts stolen.

Someone just tried the most sophisticated phishing attack I've ever seen. I almost fell for it. My mind is a little blown.

Someone named "Chloe" called me from 650-203-0000 with Caller ID saying "Google". She sounded like a real engineer, the connection was super clear, and she had an American accent. Screenshot.
They said that they were from Google Workspace and someone had recently gained access to my account, which they had blocked. They asked me if I had recently logged in from Frankfurt, Germany and I said no.
I asked if they can confirm this is Google calling by emailing me from a Google email and they said sure and sent me this email and told me to look for a case number in it, which I saw in

For some reason, it is surprisingly hard to create a bootable Windows USB using macOS. These are my steps for doing so, which have worked for me in macOS Monterey (12.6.1) for Windows 10 and 11. After following these steps, you should have a bootable Windows USB drive.

1. Download a Windows disc image (i.e. ISO file)

You can download Windows 10 or Windows 11 directly from Microsoft.

2. Identify your USB drive

After plugging the drive to your machine, identify the name of the USB device using diskutil list, which should return an output like the one below. In my case, the correct disk name is disk2.

Signing VirtualBox Kernel Modules

These are the steps I followed enable VirtualBox on my laptop without disabling UEFI Secure Boot. They're nearly identical to the process described on [Øyvind Stegard's blog][blog], save for a few key details. The images here are borrowed from the [Systemtap UEFI Secure Boot Wiki][systemtap].

Install the VirtualBox package (this might be different for your platform).

Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2025-03-24: Commenting is disabled permanently. Previous comments are archived at web.archive.org. ]

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.
