I'm just not sure that...okay. Maybe it really is. Who's to say.

The Fight Comes to Our Shores: Breaking Down the Cyber Attack on Stryker On Wednesday, March 11, a pro-Iran regime hacking group claimed to have wiped 200,000 devices of a major U.S. medical device manufacturer. Press reports indicate that operations at the company, Stryke...

Join me today at 12PM ET as I join an expert panel hosted by @istorg.bsky.social - we will talk through what we *think* we know about the Stryker breach, and where we need to keep our attention focused going forward. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Some pretty old fashioned ideas tbh. No one is mentioning wireless.

Thank you. I had no idea this was a thing.

It doesn't matter if your "agent" uses the same LLM a user could use independently. There will be a perception you have "curated" the AI and perhaps neutered its honesty. That may well be true. I will pay for the combo adblocker-botblocker-agentblocker.

The trend of dumping an AI agent on your website to answer "questions". Why are you doing this. Anyone with serious questions about what you do is not going to use "your AI".

Head Start changed the course of my life. I wouldn't be here without that program. It gave me access to medicine and taught me to read.

This would fund Head Start for an entire year. Nearly a million children.

Well, this is what we have always been worried about since this conflict began, and here it is - a destructive attack on a critical infrastructure supplier. A lot of calculus happening right now in the health sector.

You'll make more dropping fries at McDonalds, so I would recommend that route.

See that card interface? Hey I don’t want to brag too much but this baby’s got 3G.

Just checked - different product. It's leaking a credential in plaintext. Same market. Doesn't bode well overall.

I'll have to check, but I discovered an app quite similar to this beaconing from an endpoint to a cloud destination using HTTP. No encryption. I didn't capture the flows to see the payload, but holy hell, what are you doing.

its fairly obvious the squirrel falls with its mouth open like this to accelerate the uptake of oxygen to its little walnut brain so it can run reassuring physics calculations when it falls

I keep getting these facebook graphics now and they are increasingly nuts. Who threw a squirrel out of an airplane. Who tossed one off a building.

These are just so stupid. First of all I bought a coin? The phish hook is a $900 coin? Did I pay in coin? It's so completely uninteresting I don't know who this is for.

The phone # - the first one is some roadside assistance company. Your first foot forward is a wrong number that makes people quit?

I'm pessimistic because people sitting in those lines already seem to enjoy wasting time and money, what's the difference if they burn another dollar of gas.

The thermal paste job is easy. A few more screws, you pop the keyboard bezel, you pull off this big honkin' copper sink and it's a ten minute job. Now I'm like, hmmmm...did I actually change the paste five years ago.

I'm doing more writing now, and I don't want to travel with my daily-driver laptop with my whole life on it. With linux and some tricks, I write using Nano (yes) and sync it back to Google Drive. That crash a few posts earlier was the first big test. I lost nothing.

$28 along the way for an additional battery that sat in the DVD-ROM bay; it never really did much, and I recently junked it with the original battery - neither would charge anymore.

SSD of course, that was 2015.

CPU fan, 2020.

2021 replaced the keyboard, transformative. $19.

I'm dropping a fortune into this thing. It was $20 for a new battery, $20 to double the ram, and now $7 for thermal paste!

I bought this from IBM as a refurb in 2012 for $415, so it's maybe one of the most enduring investments in tech I've ever made.

It was right there. This is very hot. It is too hot in fact.

okay so that’s not it
