Ayup. Looks like we have a few positions open for full-time curators around here. E: god dammit a snipe. That teaches me not to throwaway post in here. I'll find something, hang on. E2: let's watch our very stable genius's brain turn to swiss cheese in real-time. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1114607771775852544 https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1114618999868940288 Rodenthar Drothman fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Apr 7, 2019 |

The little response titles are often a distraction from the subject of the tweet or article.

Discendo Vox posted:The little response titles are often a distraction from the subject of the tweet or article. And because they come BEFORE the tweet it’s entirely context-free until one reads the tweet that follows which is incredibly annoying. Between that, cross-thread reposting, and the high fluff/news ratio I found that the best choice was to ignore the poster and assume that others would quote the worthwhile parts.

Agree with that, they all have clickbaity headlines anyway.Charlz Guybon posted:It feels weird to just drop a tweet without saying anything, even if I can't think of something that isn't a hackneyed cliche. I mean if you have something really crushingly important, of course, go ahead, but every single one doesn't need a quip

Dumps are good, but please put any commentary AFTER the tweet. Remember that that's how we read things and getting the punch line before the set up is very annoying.

Oh hey I'm sure this is absolutely nothing to worry about, Trump just firing the head of the Secret Service.quote:Less than a week earlier, federal authorities charged Chinese national Yujing Zhang with illegally gaining entry to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, slipping past at least five Secret Service agents and making it all the way to the main reception area of the compound.

Gonna guess no because of... (1) Them aborting it to "halt any further corruption of his computer" (2) Autorun apparently not being disabled on the PC.

Also with his statement that it's "a very out-of-the-ordinary event that he had never seen happen before during this kind of analysis" it seems like they probably aren't the cyber crime guys.

My guess is that these dudes were the cyber equivalent of TSA screeners -- i.e., their job is just to screen everybody who comes through and provide some security theater, not to actually stop a real espionage attempt. Imagine what would happen if a TSA screener actually found a real bomb

quote:The agent said he conducted a four-and-a-half hour interview with Zhang at the Secret Service office in West Palm Beach. There was only video but no audio recording because Ivanovich said he did not realize the audio was not working. Rather suspicious his name is Ivanovich...

I'm curious - from an engineering perspective, how do you stop a usb device from autostarting, assuming that at least part of the functionality will be input devices like keyboards and mice? As in how do you make it secure to function as a bootable usb drive without also compromizing the security?

insert_funny posted:Bernie doesn't think all of Trump's ideas are absurd; not releasing his tax returns, for example. Given how boring his 2014 taxes were I suspect that his wife takes care of the taxes and gives no fucks about the politics of the optics of it all. He just can't say that because then he'd be blaming his wife which is really bad optics. People need to chill the gently caress out about it for now. If May comes around and he's still not released them, then there is a point for concern.
