There sure is a lot of “CEO said a thing” bollocks being dutifully reported by the media about this clown right now. His verbal effluent is probably overtaking the verbal effluent of the clown in the White House right now, which surely breaks a world record.
Anyone could be forgiven for thinking he’s got a huge PR campaign running in the lead up to something and people are falling for it. Again.
This is a wild read. I’d recommend reading the article, but the tl;dr is…
He charged customers up to 20 times the ransom amount ($150K vs $8K in the example), paid the ransom to get their data back, and pocketed the difference as easy profit.
He refused to reveal his “trade secret” method, but it was all A-OK when they thought it was “magic”, and now everybody’s mad at being deceived. 😄
An iPadBook, huh? Its a bold move, Cotton…
I had a work laptop with a touchscreen and used that functionality exactly 0 times (after trying it out). If it had the ability to fold back into a Lenovo Yoga-style tablet form factor, it would have been a completely different story, though.
InstaTube. Bold move trying to convince butterfly brain video viewers to watch something longer than 30 seconds.
Still, Shorts on YT seems to work. Maybe Meta are trying to balance it out? It will mean spending on storage, so anyone’s guess how it will go.
This was an interesting series of shorts. The bouncing screen edge overlay and the use of PDF made me chuckle. Very nostalgic.
Thirty-odd years after it was first ejaculated into the world, PDF still remains the demon threat vector for payloads that just won’t die.
13% (presumably 12.5%) means 1 in 8.
CxOs with their Thought Leadership™️ and outside the box (follow the herd) thinking have done everything they can to reduce the cost and chaos of humans in their company, and prioritising the reverse centaur approach to LLMs for short term gain instead of making them centaurs: a useful tool to enhance their productivity for long term results.
And now they’re waving their hands in despair, wondering who’s to blame. It can’t be them, by definition.
Let them burn. Let those companies die. Piss on their ashes. Blacklist the people involved. It’s more than they deserve.
Phone thickness is the excuse, but adtech is the reason. Just look at how camera lenses are handled.
Forcing everyone to use Bluetooth means you’re more likely to leave it permanently enabled. And that means a lot more data for adtech. All those beacons in shopping and urban areas make population-scale measurement trivial.
Looking at the replies to your comment… so many people not getting the reference. 🥲
Shared their login details - as in username and password? Why am I not surprised it doesn’t even use multi-factor authentication… 🤦🏻♂️
At this stage in the game, I’d not be surprised to learn that Flock’s database is stored on an unsecured cloud instance with password123 or sithlord as the sole security between it and the world.
Sees thumbnail… skip.
I DGAF who the creator is. If you use a video thumbnail that screams “engagement bait”, then I’m going anywhere else.
Every single time.
Wow. I’m not into kink shaming or telling people they’re have fun the wrong way, but how broken do you need to be to cosplay the Bushido code for the sake of magic money? 🤦🏻♂️
