If you think that clicking the buttons in the bottom section will upgrade the current macOS Sequoia version from 15.7.1 to 15.7.3, think again. Clicking the little ℹ️ shows that the Sequoia update is deselected and it'll install Tahoe instead. #apple #upgrade #shitty #tactics

So, since when does ChatGPT use request information (e.g., IP address) to determine the user's location? Shouldn't it just be using the prompt data? 🤔 #chatgpt

Ripping a page right out of @deviantollam.bsky.social's air travel book. I started using this pouch for transatlantic flights, hooked onto the seat in front of me with 2 little carabiners. But I know myself. If I don't document this properly, I'll be wondering how I packed it out the last time. 😄

I use Python all the time in most of the roles I've had in information security. One challenge has always been managing virtual environments for packages and one-off scripts. uv solves all that! In this video, I'll walk through how. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G36Q...

Another fantastic sign from today at the mall.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

Here comes trickle-down economics 2.0... AI edition! 🙄

this is what it's like dating me fyi

When your threat model is being a moron No phone, no app, no encryption can protect you from yourself if you send the information you’re trying to hide directly to someone you don’t want to have it. 🔗 www.404media.co/when-your-th...

Make it happen Cupertino! #severance

End-to-end encryption is secure because it protects the contents of your communications in transit between the endpoints. If you make one of those endpoints an editor at The Atlantic, no amount of encryption is going to save you from your own stupidity.

"When we're in like a chat with friends..." 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Modc...

Liven up the group chats you're in by posting any or all of these images along with some bullshit bombastic emojis like 🇺🇸🤜🤛🇷🇺🧙‍♂️🥵🍆💦 Then abruptly delete it all about 15 minutes later, saying something like... "Wait, shit, is this the chat WITH reporters or WITHOUT reporters??"

Best of all, all of these amazing news sources also provide RSS feeds with full length articles!

If a client demands an agent in a device, it's going on *their device*. Yes, that sometimes means I'm carrying 3 laptops to service different clients. It's a cost of doing business.

You might think you know all about IDOR, but that's just because you haven't seen @joswr1ght.bsky.social talk about it!

Mark is beloved by millions of kids, which makes it particularly great that he’s teaching them how to inform their parents that Tesla is a danger to children. This is another one of those “we don’t need a ‘Rogan of the left’, we need normal men” examples.

If you're looking for a Linux Arm64 build of cloudfox, I've got you covered. Builds are available at github.com/crahan/cloud... until my pull request is merged into the main repo. The 'linux-arm64' branch has the updated Makefile in case you want to roll your own. #pentesting #cloud #arm64

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

Tangent of the day: fixing the VMware Workstation icons that don't follow the Papirus icon theme. Good thing you can just grep for the icon names in the .so files.

We got another "critical vulnerability" on #curl reported. I figured you might enjoy it. "The authentication mechanism in cURL does not properly restrict the number of failed authentication attempts, allowing an attacker to brute-force credentials" Yawn. Away, away you go.

10/10. No notes.

It should terrify everyone that a green card holder was black bagged and disappeared to Louisiana simply for having opinions this administration dislikes. They're building the prisons and camps to do it to citizens. The time to stand up to this is now.

The bar for professional communication wasn't high to begin with, but I think it just dropped below zero. #wtf www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Once you know they're willing to make up sales numbers, all previous sales numbers are extra suspect.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

We can learn so much about good opsec through the many negative examples brought to us by this carload of clowns: www.businessinsider.com/doge-nasa-go...

My kind of 'morale' patches! #takemymoney

"The protection of a nation’s territorial integrity and national boundaries is paramount for its security". Unless your country is named Ukraine, Greenland, or Canada. In which case boundaries and territorial integrity don't matter all that much, apparently. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

See, if only he'd worn a MAGA hat, it wouldn't have been an issue. #whyyounowearsuit #unsuitable #hypocrisy

If you told me in high-school that people would back goddamn Madison Square Garden like they were seeing the Beatles, paying used-car levels of money to watch a bunch of strangers play D&D, I would have told you that you were crazy. www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Ah yes, a suit! Just like Elon and his 'Occupy Mars' t-shirt, pair of jeans, and baseball cap. Of all the questions you can ask Zelensky, that's the one at the top of your list? *sigh*

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

This video does such a good job saying what I have been trying to say about commercial AI. An AI can write a 10th grade lit essay, but the point of an essay assignment is not to produce an essay. The essay teaches critical thinking, research skills, etc. The effort is the point.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

Apple removes its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature from customers in the UK after pressure from the government. Very troubling news. ADP provides end-to-end encryption, allowing only account holders to view items such as photos or documents they have stored online.
