Links and Show Notes:
Things kick off with Merlin's ongoing confusion about the role of the pre-flight.
Merlin thinks John is being kind of terse, and John almost quotes what The Wolf said—and, yet, he somehow remembers exactly what model of car The Wolf drove.
Then, there's a fair amount of talk about old Apple keyboards. Merlin abuses his relationship with John to get some tech support.
In follow-up, John takes an unprecedented third crack at explaining security through obscurity. John can't even imagine ever sharing his screen, and Merlin bemoans the normalization of terrible security practices. In something like the opposite of nostalgia, your hosts remember their "college ID numbers."
