The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant danger warning pictogram, modified with Buldak HOT Chicken Flavor Ramen as a repository of hot chili peppers, and hot chili peppers emanating and killing the once standing human after he digs to the core of the repository (i.e. makes ramen out of it and drinks it).

LinkedIn post from CYSAT:

🔥 How to Hack a Satellite, with Thales - CYSAT Academy

 In 2023, Thales engineers made history by hacking an in-orbit satellite during a CYSAT challenge supported by ESA. 

For the first time in Singapore, Christophe Duvernois from that original team will run a hands-on training inspired by this real operation.

Learn how attackers think, how defenders protect, and how to secure space systems end-to-end.

Meanwhile on LinkedIn…
This is incredibly funny to me, because I was part of that "original team" and I have never even heard of Christophe Duvernois. 🙃

My kid, talking to our (French-language) voice-activated speaker: "Met "We will rock you" de Queen"
Speaker: *ignores them*
My kid, in the French-est accent imaginable: "Met "Oui ouïle roque iou" de Couine"
Speaker: *starts playing*

I'm dead. 🤣

For avoidance of doubt: after my refusal to comply with a single-word injunction to get them something, they chose to go and get it themselves rather than formulate a complete sentence.
Counting this as a win. 😊
