Love this

Microsoft is bringing people back to the office because their data shows "when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered.." anyone know how Microsoft measures empowerment? blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/09...

I decided to test whether EXIF data is removed from images sent over X's new encrypted chat feature like Signal and other messengers do. I can confirm it is not. I was able to extract information including GPS coordinates from a test image sent to me.

Busy times at WhatsApp. Users have been notified and bugs patched. techcrunch.com/2025/08/29/w...

This is an old classic but worth viewing if you manage a security team. I've rewatched this a few times over the years. youtu.be/AukR16ARmfs?...

Switched back to a MacBook after leaving Microsoft. The battery life difference is just insane compared to any Surface I've had. I'm really enjoying not dragging a charger around.

How about 1 million dollars to pop WhatsApp? www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2025/7/...

"free for a limited time".. I really don't see users paying for AI browser features. I guess we will see. blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20...

strange thing about working at Meta is nobody uses email. I can go the entire day without opening my mail client which is just strange.

Welp its official, I'll be working on security for WhatsApp at Meta. A nice uninteresting target for attackers.. should be a breeze right?

Perplexity’s CEO said the company’s web browser is designed to track users across the web to build detailed profiles and sell hyper-personalized ads. The browser is to monitor browsing habits, shopping activity, travel and dining interests, and time spent on sites, etc.

Today is my last day at Microsoft. 10 years of browser and OS security work. I will certainly miss the people and the work. I'd like to think I improved things a little. Next up.. a nice long nap.

Nice to see some AI stats that don't seem hyped up. However if this is true, the high operational cost of AI (futurism.com/the-byte/ope...) will make it hard to make a profit. People are not going to pay crazy sums of money for a 20 minute time savings. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/uk...

In case you are wondering, this chart shows what U.S. carriers do if they receive a government surveillance request.

More and more people are learning the AI narrative doesn't match the AI reality.

As a manager laying off people is always brutal. No matter what you do, you know its going to suck for that person and there is not much you can do about it. You are both "in charge" and helpless at the same time.

What Black folk are saying: 1) The unpopularity of his fiscal policies will not be enough to undo this. Because much of this comes from racism. 2) The most racist policies are not unpopular. Crying about your 401k or your soybean farm, is not the same as being horrified by concentration camps.
