  • DeepSeek [non-]update: they just stole and lied. More at 11 after sports, weather, and traffic.
  • TikTok: Stealing data from your phone? Frank believes it, Chris doesn’t.
  • The guys debate religiosity of tech stack choices within companies.
  • Frank decries cutls of personality, and also ColdFusion. Like… duh. Honestly, which is worse?
