Storage fail: USB memory sticks are getting worse due to recommissioned kit, including legit chips that failed quality control checks. Some USB sticks contain microSD cards mounted to a circuit board.

There are a lot of fake units around which can be detected with software 🙂

Mostly they over report storage (often laughably so) for a low low price 🫤

"We got some of that fancy creamer for you for days that you're in the office."

That's basically the same as a raise, right?

simonzerafa,

@CrabbyIT

Ask for 25% more money as well and that would make it a pay rise 🙂👍

Just your usual killer fungus doom https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/deadly-candida-auris-fungal-infection-32062686

Somewhat misleading headline based on the contents of the article. Some subeditor can do arithmetic 🫤🤦‍♂️

simonzerafa,

@davep

Some percentage of those with this resistant strain will die.

So 30% of some unknown number of people with the drug resistant strain, apparently.

Seems to be single digit case so far.

So lots of issues here.

You can't do stats on samples of 1 or 2 and at no point do 60% of people die.

This so called article is borderline fake news.

An orange earthmover moves along a dirt road away from an advancing lava flow from the latest volcanic eruption in Iceland.

simonzerafa,

I guess they will need a new road in the near future? 🫤

I was thinking about access to the power station 🫤🤷‍♂️

I don’t understand why Proton Pass should access my Location on my Mac?

simonzerafa,

@david_senate

IP address matches Location?

Or they record the apparent location of the last logon so if the account is accessed elsewhere within less that reasonable travel time if a new current location it can be flagged as suspicious?

simonzerafa,

@risibledog

I'm sure Disney would be able to fire her for a different reason or simple shutter the production and restart it as a new project.

This is purely a publicity stunt and cash grab.

I am happy to announce my new cloud-based, AI enabled XDR offering for toothbrushes. Please form an orderly line to deposit your investment capital.

simonzerafa,

@jerry

Tooth factor authentication is standard? 🤔🤷‍♂️

simonzerafa,

@jerry

Not my idea sadly. Send all good wishes to @thomasareed for such an amazing observation. He win the Internet today.

I'm just annoyed I didn't come up with it 🥴🤷‍♂️

simonzerafa,

Does the XDR monitor root access? 🤨

I suspect that tooth factor authentication would have helped here 😉🤷‍♂️

I guess I need to think about tooth-factor authentication for my toothbrush…

simonzerafa,

Genius 🙂👏

In fact this is so good that @GossiTheDog needs to see it 🙂

Harassing botnets with zipbombs.

The idea is this: instead of just blocking IP addresses that hit honeypot URLs, feed them a compressed document that massively expands on their end, making them run out of memory and crash.

This is extremely...

I hope you can get this working. I've hidden my login page and would love this this a try 🙂

50/50. Depends how horny the goat might be 🤔

simonzerafa,

@Lana

On a good day I would be successful 🙂

simonzerafa,

I would curry favour or the goat would be curry flavour 😉🤷‍♂️

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.

I thought that this was caused by the
e-bygum vulnerability caused by out of alignment Unmanaged Dental Protocol packets?! 🤔🤷‍♂️
