If you want a fun karaoke night, first song(s) need to be something that will get most everyone singing. Younger crowds: something like Tayor Swift "Shake It Off". Middle age crowds, something like Nirvana or Aerosmith. Older crowds any Beatles #1.

I personally like Cyprus Hill "Jump Around" if you're willing to learn it well enough beforehand as to not butcher the lyrics. I've seen Vanilla "Ice Ice Baby" also get a similar reaction of everyone knowing the song and enjoying it enough to give you kudos for choosing it.

After everyone's over the initial hesitation, go belt all your love songs and power ballads; but get the party started first.

For those not keeping up: this is the fallout from Erdogan ignoring economics and keeping interest rates low for years; only in the past year or so having conceding to reality and finally letting rates rise. They'll likely continue suffering fallout from his prior stance on interest rates for the remainder of the decade.

From last summer:

Since the other reply was unhelpful: apps are supposed to have limited privileges and isolation from each other, yes... But the whole point of malware like this is that they figure out ways to break those restrictions and get escalated privileged.

You can get more technical detail from reading the report, in this case it looks like the app does not contain malware, but instead requests an update after install that contains the bad code and then breaks the app limitations and scans for the target banking applications and copies the security certificates.

“The goal is to make the town progress by improving the resilience of its inhabitants,”

Sounds a bit like Stardew Valley?

Yeah, a lot of the studies about remote work being less productive I find faulty. In my work/team we saw huge productivity gains. Now company-wide are asking for return to office and I'm telling my team not to comply and refer complaints to me (manager). We do go in once a week (in-person interactions have a benefit, but there's diminishing returns to how often these in person benefits occur). Often this will be lined up with client meeting, in-person performance reviews, team lunch, etc.

The international remote teams are already complaining. They can't have the usual meetings because my team is commuting to the office on X day of week. Yeah, early morning meeting with India, EU, etc are a staple now (and part of our productivity boost, it's better to meet when it's not super late for them). When commute to office returned I (and others) booked commute as a time block so the international teams didn't try to get us on calls in the car. If the company wants that time block back for meetings the involved members don't come in.

This will eventually come to a head, but I'm standing with my team members and improved metrics over blanket C-level demands. The business case is already written up for the first time they complain.
