There was a great LegalEagle video from a year ago with the judge ripping apart the lawyers who may have been the first to cite made up cases with AI.

What mental gymnastics are going on that they claim “unlawful intent” if the intent to was to stop the man from assaulting her. How is intending to stop someone from continuing a hate crime unlawful?

LLMs are just a tool, just like airplanes or hammers. An airplane is very expensive, but better at going really far distances than humans can on foot. A hammer is cheaper than a human, but by itself is useless unless operated properly. Despite the tone of the outputs, LLMs should not be authoritative and human judgement shouldn’t be replaced with them.

Just on the security side of coding, highly skilled security engineers at Mozilla were able to use Claude Mythos to identify and address many issues to make Firefox more secure. Some if these issues were introduced over 10 years ago, and a human could have identified and fixed them but human speed of reading and finding will always be a bottleneck. Having highly skilled humans offload the slow task to go through the codebase and raise issues, allowed them to find and understand the nuanced problem, and work on a fix. The key here is giving the people with the skills the ability be enhanced with LLMs, not replace them with one.

Yes exactly the same feeling for me. That was so cool and unique, there were also amazing puzzles with that mechanic.

Stop by the Krusty Krab for a genderless burger experience

I would never view it on company hardware

I browse on a company device and have noticed that i guess images uploaded to communities from users on instances are sometimes considered “low reputation” domains, and do get flagged as suspicious or oddly as pornography for whatever reason? Fortunately i am able to see and dismiss these in my org, and justify the usage as “cyber intelligence news gathering”

I enjoyed Zelda Skyward Sword upon release, despite having to get the new controller that supporter more motion on the Wii for it. The dungeon on the ship in the desert that involved time travel was a standout level and i really enjoyed it at the time. Granted I haven’t played it in 10 years, it’s a good game. I am glad though that the backlash resulted in Breath of the Wild, and without Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild would have never happened.

I think what the commenter is saying is if you have something running on a server on an external IP address for like a website that needs to be public, the additional risk of opening up more ports to slow down Internet scanners is not beneficial to you and not worth the risk.

If you’re deploying an raspberry pi and opening it up to the Internet, and don’t care if it crashes due to overload, thats a bit of effort and cost you incure to keep it running to be a nuisance.for Internet scanners. If you don’t have anything which needs to be publicly accessible to the Internet, the best thing you can do is not open any ports and expend no effort, so that the firewall/ NAT gateway operates in stealth mode which is does inflict some processing and time on the Internet scanner to run waiting for responses to timeout.

Recommended everyone to watch this video about how Star Wars was saved in the edit

It’ll probably just be a nuisance for small operations and for larger botnets be a drop in the bucket or not even noticable.

Be careful incentivizing the kids too much with the tooth fairy

Ooo Dungeon Baller looks neat, is that game even out yet? I’d like to check it out if you have a key available.

Interesting bit from the court docs of how they traced it to him:

Based on cryptocurrency tracing analysis performed by FBI personnel, I have learned the following, among other things: on or about November 12, 2025, and November 13, 2025, in a total of approximately three transactions, Wallet-0xAf6 sent a total of approximately $149,980 of cryptocurrency to particular cryptocurrency swapping service (“Swapping Service- 1”).2,3 Based on documents from Swapping Service-1, I have learned that shortly after those three transactions, Swapping Service-1 sent approximately $149,980 of cryptocurrency to a particular cryptocurrency payment processor (“Payment Processor-1”). Based on documents from Payment Processor-1, I have learned that the November 12 and 13, 2025 transactions were received by account in the name of “Michele Spagnuolo,” and that an Italian Government identification card was used to open the account at Payment Processor-1. A copy of that identification card, which I have reviewed, appears to be a government identification card for MICHELE SPAGNUOLO, a/k/a “AlphaRaccoon,” the defendant.

Seems like whatever swapping service he used is what got him as he probably assumed that they wouldn’t comply with law enforcement or have detailed records.

I see, admittedly I didn’t check too closely but see what you’re saying now. I’ve had good luck with this app for tracking other BLE devices around. FWIW the MAC address filter takes a wild card value (using *), but I’m not too familiar with how the manufacturer ID and MAC address manufacturer prefix are related, if at all. Anyway, all this to say that while the NoPeek app is focused on just smart glasses, other apps exist that have similar functionality, and are easier to install.

Microsoft has been mum on any details about these matters, so it’s hard to tell if the situation is about an uncooperative researcher who doesn’t follow standard disclosure rules or a company being difficult about security reports. Regardless, the move to ban Eclipse’s GitHub account makes for poor optics, as it is being heavily criticized, and ultimately achieves nothing for security, since the code is out there anyway.

Classic Streisand effect. Just two years ago Satya Nadella publicly announced they’re prioritizing security above all else, but now have nothing to say about these exploits and are trying to silence the researcher? Viewing from the sidelines, it did seem a bit reckless how Eclipse was dropping these as zero days, but Microsoft’s actions speak louder than words and they probably didn’t pay for the bounties.

I’ve seen some Twitch streams where indie game devs will do this, especially during early access to promote the game and get feedback from the community. It seems like a neat idea but is probably grueling to “perform” while developing.

Unless you’ve committed to a 5 or 10 year CD, you probably can defer the payments or split them until the CD matures so you don’t forfeit the interest. Also, for proper CD planning, it’s probably best to use a ladder strategy where you have multiple CDs and staggered so one matures every year for you to decide if you need the cash or can reinvest it.

If you go to Radar Alerts, set the filter to use the manufacturer. The readme in OPs GitHub page lists these manufacturers: https://github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android#️-devices-detected
