we are a star trek people living in a star wars world

@ai6yr sadly there is no official waffle house in california, but its tempting to create a popup so they can bring a drugged bear there :D

@ai6yr countdown til the bear goes on the news to say he authentically belives he teleported

@wdormann cves turning into marketing vehicles for every company thats a cna is also undoubtedly creating problems in this vein

spicy opinion:

one of the most disrspectful things you can do as a presenter, to your audience, is stand up in front of them and do a talk with a 100% ai generated slide deck.

you couldnt even take the time to build your own deck out, and we're supposed to take you seriously? you didnt care enough to build your own deck, so why should the audience give a shit about it?

its just a sociopathic/narcisistic play to get on stage and be in the spotlight for a moment. and its super obvious.

boo.

achievement unlocked:

first, formal writeup to a customer where i have to cite another vendor they are using sending them ai slop in honeypot and edr alerts.

one thought a portscan was "an attacker conducting lateral movement"

then another thought dropping rubeus.exe onto a laptop, and having it immediately caught and deleted qualified as "a ransomware event"

this is just bananas.
its borderline fraud

@ai6yr boy how fun would it be if all those folks bought houses on those streets, but not on their own names, and started getting mail delivered there? :D

so ai is going great

@skinnylatte i always thought nyc finance bro types whod judge people solely on what brand suit they had or the price of their clothing were some of the stupidest motherfuckers alive

so ai is going great

and here's me still operating off anthropics original 'china paper' and every week theres new ... i dunno, i guess you can call it marketing fluff at this point?

literally every single customer ive spoken to in the last month is suffering "in some way" either because of the political landscape, or AI or both.

cool, so uh
i have 2x powerwall 2's.
today, for the first time the system went into "calibration mode". that means it dumped all the juice in the batteries out to the grid, now the batteries are just ... 'sitting'.

the app says 'click here for more info', and when i do, it takes me to a powerwall 3 knowledgebase page that explains why they do calibration.

i dont have powerwall 3.
also there was no notice, no option to delay etc..

wtf

so i went rooting around in a box to find a usb cdrom (didnt find it)
but if found a bunch of other crap

like my old backtrack4 liveboot cd.

wanna guess when backtrack4 was released?

@winterknight1337 i still have mine

2006

hey

run firefox?

hit about:config
search for 'telemetry'

disable aaaaaaaaaallll that shit

so i formatted my laptop to ubuntu yesterday. so far the nicest two things:
- the touchpad support is way way way nicer. windows, for whatever reason, makes dealing with the touchpad miserable.

- screenshots are just 'built in'. i dont have to use snipping tool, i dont have to go fuck about with powertools and setup custom key shortcuts. it .. just works.

oh and i installed asusctl so now i can fuck with my cooling fan curves and keyboard lighting :D
