  • What up nerds?

  • I'm Jared and this is Change Log News for the week of Monday, November 24th, 2025.

  • Turns out Gen Z has a weaker top password choice than every older generation except the 80 plus crowd.

  • Don't get cocky, boomers, Gen Xers and millennials, it's pretty rocky for us too.

  • According to a new report, the most commonly leaked Gen Z password is one, two, three, four, five.

  • While the most commonly leaked password for the other age groups is one,

  • two, three, four, five, six.

  • This proves that you can be a winner and a loser at the same time.

  • Okay, let's get into this week's news.

  • What is a tech bubble anyway?

  • Cedric Chin says, comparisons of our current AI maybe bubble.

  • to the dot-com bubble and the 2008 GFC are limiting.

  • First, the 2008 crisis wasn't a technology bubble.

  • Second, the dot-com bubble was idiosyncratic for a number of reasons,

  • the biggest one being that going public has since become an order of magnitude more difficult.

  • It shouldn't come as a surprise that the hottest AI companies today are all private companies.

  • Unavailable to the retail investor, that's different enough from 1999 that it should, I think,

  • give you pause." Cedric also believes that calling this a bubble or not doesn't really matter.

  • What really matters is what should I do?

  • And that, of course, depends on who you are and what you are trying to accomplish.
