Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place duck legs skin-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes until the skin is crispy and the meat is heated through.
While the duck crisps, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk in Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine greens, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, and nuts if using. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the warm garlic butter dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Shred the crispy duck meat or slice it off the bone, then arrange it over the salad.
Serve immediately while the duck is warm and the greens are lightly dressed.
In the second episode of Technically, the Weekly Show, Mia Kotalik and Ethan Rush break down six tech headlines, separating what actually happened from viral framing and speculation. They examine misleading claims that anti-surveillance clothing can fool modern Flock cameras, OpenAI’s decision to slow some frontier-model training over cybersecurity concerns, and a new ChatGPT integration that can search a Mac user’s Messages history—raising questions about privacy, broad computer permissions, prompt injection, and the risks of using AI to analyze personal relationships.
They also discuss Porsche’s unusual AI and IT deal, T-Mobile employees physically cutting a network cable during an intrusion linked to the Salt Typhoon espionage campaign, and MIT researchers creating transistor-like circuits from living bacteria. Throughout, Mia and Ethan show how technical details can get distorted as stories spread online—and why tech headlines often deserve a closer look.
