I may have enough spare motherboards in the studio to do this...

If you know, you know...

It was a bonus feature

I want to start collecting pictures of the "data center toilets" and make some nice prints to hang in my bathroom. Do you think the wife would appreciate this?

I caught the 3D printing bug. There were many reasons why I put this off too long (intimidation, time, laziness, etc.). All it took was one of my kids to ask, "Dad, can we get a 3D printer?" To which I responded, "I've been waiting my whole life for you to ask that question." Now we have several, and maybe we need some more filament. Which filament do you recommend, and for which applications?

Firewalls, VPNs, and network devices require extra scrutiny when it comes to security, given the current threat landscape. New findings from Eclypsium highlight missing and misconfigured security controls (bootloader & UEFI vulns)...Our latest findings are here: https://eclypsium.com/research/pandoras-box-vulns-in-security-appliances/ (including a demo exploit video).

On the latest episode of Paul's Security Weekly Bill, Larry and myself discussed "hacker gadgets" including some of our favorite ESP32 and Raspberry PI devices and firmware. Check it out and let us know your favorite hacker gadgets!

New PC is lit

I mean, that's one way...

If you haven't looked at Android TV devices, they still come pre-loaded with malware. Use the Android debugger or HW methods to do the analysis.

They were rotten after a while and had to be replaced.

When your wife buys the floor model Christmas tree and it doesn't come with a remote. The store then gives her this. Me: "No babe, according to the FCC filings, that is the wrong remote".

"btw" is the best version of Arch. LOL

I make Shawarma because 1) I like saying "Shawarma" and 2) It's very tasty. I am contemplating putting some recipes on my new website (https://securitypodcaster.com), good idea?

If I walked in and saw this my first response would be: "Holy crap!"

Only the lucky ones had two drives...

Still the app to beat...
