Retired, getting better at it. 30+ years as a tech guy at the @houstonchronicle.com, but no longer columnizing. Still an aspiring cat lady, passable iPhone photographer. Also at https://mastodon.social/@dsilverman, https://www.threads.net/@dsilverman

Thanks Dwight, Happy retirement! I found it boring, but I expect you'll keep busy some way, as I have. Thank you for all the excellent guidance. My computers still eat my homework, but your columns have made my life much easier. All the best, Steve

Recap The official White House Android app: 1. Injects JavaScript into every website you open through its in-app browser to hide cookie consent dialogs, GDPR banners, login walls, signup walls, upsell prompts, and paywalls. 2. Has a full GPS tracking pipeline compiled in that polls every 4.5 minutes in the foreground and 9.5 minutes in the background, syncing lat/Ing/accuracy/timestamp to OneSignal's servers. 3. Loads JavaScript from a random person's GitHub Pages site (lonelycpp.github.io) for YouTube embeds. If that account is compromised, arbitrary code runs in the app's WebView. 4. Loads third-party JavaScript from Elfsight (elfsightcdn.com/platform.js) for social media widgets, with no sandboxing. 5. Sends email addresses to Mailchimp, images are served from Uploadcare, and a Truth Social embed is hardcoded with static CDN URLs. None of this is government infrastructure. 6. Has no certificate pinning. Standard Android trust management. 7. Ships with dev artifacts in production. A localhost URL, a developer IP (10.4.4.109), the Expo dev client, and an exported Compose PreviewActivity. 8. Profiles users extensively through OneSignal - tags, SMS numbers, cross-device aliases, outcome tracking, notification interaction logging, in-app message click tracking, and full user state observation. Is any of this illegal? Probably not. Is it what you'd expect from an official government app? Probably not either.

Create an image showing a bottle of red wine on a table, with a wine glass with red wine in it. The label on the bottle should be visible, with the name of the vineyard being "Silverman Napa Valley" and the type of wine cabernet sauvignon. In smaller text, including "ALC 15.5% BY VOL" near the bottom of the label. The background behind the bottle and glass should be gently rolling hills rendered in a bokeh effect. Overall, the label should convey the feel of an upscale California wine.
