Well, it's reassuring that problems with Microsoft products can happen to NASA astronauts too, I guess? www.wired.com/story/artemi...

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

Exactly like Hitler telling everyone to leave the room except for his top generals in the too-often-memed “Downfall” clip

Reuters: Hegseth fires two more generals, David Hodne and William Green Jr., alongside Army Chief Of Staff Randy George

Trams and trains are all free (in response to fuel prices) from today in Victoria, and I'm going to ride so many trains, guys.

Everything wrong with the world today is because we decided to stop telling idiots directly, to their faces, that they're idiots. We need more public shaming, specifically of executives, the rich, and the incompetent. But I repeat myself.

The only time I'm ever tempted to use a LLM is, "rewrite this email using my language and message to appease a narcissist audience" istg I'd fast for the water usage, if the politics weren't there.

Folk are getting dangerously attached to AI that always tells them they're right

People just aren't ready for the conversation about Starfleet Academy and Discovery just not being primarily intended for an audience eye of straight, white, millennial and older dudes. And how much *other* Trekkie fan audiences could finally relate to the characters, finally.

NEW: Iranian-linked hackers claim to have breached the personal Gmail account of FBI director Kash Patel, leaking emails and photos. We were able to confirm that at least a portion of the emails are authentic. The U.S. has accused Iran's government of being behind the hacking group Handala.

I'm not salty or anything, and I don't live in America anymore - but I absolutely checked a couple major cybersecurity events with rotating venues because surely by now in 2026, they must have moved to places safe for women and trans attendees, surely, surely, surely, nah of course not

The machine may be more eloquent, it may generate far more dazzling images than we could ever draw, but it will never experience human truths. And so in art, literature and all other creative processes it is a cuckoo, pushing out the human to consume resources and generate hoarded wealth

So…. I'm teaching ICS310 free version with Bruce on Friday at BSides Melbourne, keynoting Sunday, going to the Renaissance festival on Saturday, then the next week I speak at AusCERT.

Thank you China for introducing me to the phrase "IQ tax", which applies to objects such as NFTs and balenciaga trash bags.

The move isn't surprising, but shows what data is available to authorities when paying Apple customers use the Hide My Email feature.

Lesley, what were you like in the 90s starter pack

This is kind of a silly take. Niantic are absolutely opportunists, who certainly didn't see AI coming when Pokémon Go or Ingress premiered. What they've always been interested in is being a *source of user geolocation data* which they can monetise. First way was lucrative Pokémon IP. Now it's AI.

Oh god it's 2026 and TSA are the good guys (relatively) 😭😭

Calling out corporate BS? There's a steaming pile to aim for

I'm still often kinda stunned by the people in this market and this world who say they urgently want A) a cybersecurity job or B) to emigrate And I directly offer to to help them by offering my calendar for the next month, for free, no strings And they're just like, nah, that time isn't convenient

Lock down Microsoft Intune, feds warn after Stryker attack

And the US wants to use AI to guide WEAPONRY

Sir, this is a Macca's in Australia.

When the AI company has decided your name is Nathan. Or everyone's name is Nathan. Yet manages to get the email address right. But thinks you're in another country. I definitely trust this AI company to spot security gaps. I desperately want to reply that my name is Lesley and I live in Australia.

My advice - not either of my employers' advice - to ANZ orgs regarding to US/Israel/Iran war cyber attacks: seeing a ton of activity. Some targeted, lots opportunistic. If you're not a geopolitical target, increase threat posture. It's too chaotic to fully predict and models can change at any time.

it was so bad i went "fuck it i'll do it myself then"

By the way I'm now using Dee-Emm-Zed religiously and none of you can stop me. Blame David Hewlett. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃

We did it, folks: spammers have uploaded 1.1 petabytes of spam to the archive

BREAKING: House Oversight Dems just walked out during a briefing with Pam Bondi on Epstein — saying she refused to commit to their subpoena to sit for a deposition. Garcia: "We asked her multiple times and she refused to commit. We won't participate in a fake hearing that's not under oath."

I want to Indiana Jones yeet a lot of people out of a plane this month. On multiple sides. web.archive.org/web/202603171... "A Times of Israel reporter says online gamblers pressured him to change his story about an Iranian missile strike so they could win a payout."

I just learned a new nightmare that will also prevent me ever moving back to America. In Victoria, a used mattress has to be clearly labeled as such by law at sale. In many American states, mattress stores can simply reupholster a used mattress and sell it as brand new. I may never sleep again.

I'm watching all of them, having to rotate focus on them from time to time. I generally digest my news/information on the treadmill...

I would add: the breakdown of the German firewall where the CDU (conservatives) are cooperating with the AfD (far-right). A long-held taboo in the German government to prevent a return to fascism. Something that could tilt all of Europe to the extreme far-right if voters allow it to continue.

Some stuff you should be watching: - China / Taiwan - Russia / Ukraine - Epstein deletions and findings - Minneapolis - Strait of Hormuz politics and economics - Lebanon - SAVE act and obviously related passport and ID invalidation hijinks. And postal service hijinks - OS level age validation

Guys, I'm not sure I'm more worried that Hegseth doesn't know what "no quarter" means and think it sounds Bad versus not caring.

The real problem here (as any engineer can tell you) is that "signing off on AI assisted changes" is not trivial. You're effectively having to do a review of something you know was written by a toddler. "Looks right at surface level" is a far cry from "is correct."

FFS. Yet another "protect the kids" law that will do nothing of the sort but will make a bunch of things like … Linux … potentially illegal. (link to an article in this thread)

"They couldn't make Linux illegal because of servers and Android is Linux." They do not care, they will make and double down on the stupidest laws possible, regardless of any negative effects. Once again, my government literally banned "ninja swords" last year. They do not care how dumb they look.
