ZeroFox eh?

I guess the next time their inside sales call, I can tell them to get fucked 4x in each earhole.

They’re the same shitstains that sell security services for CEOs and other rich assholes. They show up at security trade shows. No huge surprise, they are the toadys that will lick the boots of the highest bidder.

Try repairing any modern car. Try repairing a six year old car. Without the proprietary software to interface with the car computers, there aren’t a lot.of repairs you can do on your own.

I have a 19 Volvo and a 13 Volvo. You can’t do much of anything to either without the software and a cryptographic PIN that locks the central electronics module. The only way you can access the cem is buy “renting” Volvo software. Even then, they charge for individual transactions. Want to make a key for your car? Pay for the software then pay another $250 for access to the key making module. BTW, that only permits you to make ONE key.

You’ve been locked out of your own cars for a long time now. More and more goes behind the dealer paywall over time.

The domestic automakers all have the same shit. Why would the Chinese go to all the trouble to build and sell cars here to run espionage, when they can just compromise a prebuilt distributed mobile camera and microphone service (aka all modern cars)?

Or, and hear me out on this, push our useless elected officials to fucking do something for the people instead of the highest bidder.

Burgers and fries are cheap food. What the fuck is the point if you just get the burger? There is no defense of their crazy ass pricing.

The burgers are 20% better for 80% higher cost. Fuck that.

Their fries are ass, big mushy, wet floppy grosseness. Finish frying the damn things!

Ha ha, like people are going to switch en masse to google phones. You know, the company that changes the map first.

Don’t blame people for choices they cannot impact. If you tried to buy stuff only from ethical companies, you’d be broke or just not buy food/stuff.

Year 1: 8 ebike injuries Year 2: 24 ebike injuries

Report: EBIKE INJURIES ARE UP 300%!!!

Joke is on all of you. I know I’m shit, I just don’t care.

For some reason, I keep getting promotions and better jobs after I get fired from the last one. I am living the dream, failing up up and away!

I just asked stupid question on a meeting for half an hour about things I should know. Before that, I got shitty with some people because they wouldn’t do what I told them. I didn’t get into the game to be a dick, but the sad reality is that once you piss all over the drapes a few times, people will just let you do whatever.

I’ll be putting that to the ultimate test soon. Performance evaluations are coming and I can start handing out money. If I can demand more for my staff and hand it out effectively, then I can pretty much do anything. That’s the one thing that I’ve not been able to crack yet. If I can buy my employees loyalty (or facade thereof) then I’m golden.

Remember kids, being an asshole works!

Sounds like something a person who doesn’t want to piss several times on his pennies would say.

Piss on em. Real copper will turn light green.

You’re welcome.

Got to experience it in San Francisco one year for a Chinese new year parade. It really is scary, you are utterly helpless and nobody can do anything. Panic at scale is scary.

There was a medium sized tree that I braced my arms against and held myself away, wife between tree and I. Stood there holding myself out for a while but I was getting tired and wasn’t going to last a lot longer. Thankfully crowd broke and it stopped.

I still hate San Francisco, always some stupid shit happen every time I went. Fuck that city.

You just got to play lightning rod.

People think lightning rods are meant to attract lightning, but that is incorrect. Buildings are often covered with a whole bunch of little 1 foot copper spikes. The idea is a multipoint spray of electrons from the ground up to a charged cloud to balance the charge and reduce the chance of a strike.

During a storm, you can sometimes hear them making a hissing sound as they work.

When lightning is about to strike, anything kind of tall and conductive will do the same. If you feel that static charge building up on you, get your ass as flat as you can. You cannot predict where the strike is going to hit, so running is silly–you might well run toward a strike. Just lay flat and stay away from tall stuff. Don’t be the tallest thing either.

Hey you don’t like beans, there is the entire rest of the internet buddy.

You need nothing special. Was running on a 7 until I broke it, now on 8a. Zero issues. I buy mine used on eBay. They are all the same candy bar anymore. Does .2150 extra sq inches of screen really matter?

I used to buy the top shelf phones. Went to pixel a-types and gave never felt like I am missing anything.

Worst product name ever.

Also, crappy app too. I appreciate that they are trying, but it has been crap for years.

Tried it again a few months ago. The spoken navigation wounded like it just huffed a can of butane. Real low, slow and fucked up sounding.

They’re the first ones to reject universities and accuse them of indoctrination. That’s why most of them are “self-made” aka nepobabies.

Oh kids.

A VPN is only really good for plausable deniability. That is there is no direct correlation between the activity coming from an ISP’s IP address that is directly connected to your billing profile, home address, etc.

There are countless ways your identity can be gleaned from your digital exhaust. Fingerprinting just takes maybe four or five attributes your browser will hand over and from there, you can be reasonably identified with a high level of certainty.

For example, you might be using a Safari browser, your resolution is known (browser spills the beans to render pages), operating system, details about how your device performs a TLS (encryption) handshake, timing, any browser add-ons you might use etc.

See for yourself: https://demo.fingerprint.com/playground; there are countless pages that show you the same, this is just one.

If you think that a VPN is going to act as some sort of anonymizer, I’m afraid you’ve been misled. Even the act of setting up a machine/browser to be properly anonymous will generate signals which will make you stick out like a sore thumb.

VPNs are one small slice of the pie, they help but they don’t solve the problem of being identified online. If you’re going to do something that you REALLY don’t want anyone to see, you’re going to have to spend a lot of time learning–which is a signal also.

He doesn’t like his vegetals

Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.

I had a cat that hurt his tail and it had to be amputated. I believe the tail is the anntenna back to the mothership and since he didn’t have one anymore, he was no longer an agent. he did whatever he wanted. he was a WEIRD cat.

Also adopted a different cat that did not have a tail. Never had one when I got him. He was also a deeply weird cat.

Once they lose the connection, they seem to self-actualize and from what I’ve seen they all want to do strange things.

Nay
