My carry on is dialed in for this Roobet trip this week. TSA didn’t even bat an eye. Live in a few hours. We have never been more due in our lives. It’s almost as if I keep getting a feint whiff of a max win in the distance. See you soon.

@chrisprice @ehtalgj @IntCyberDigest Redemption period began after the 30-day deadline and lasted for 3.5 months. This is next level cope.
English
@FatalHydra @ehtalgj @IntCyberDigest There needs to be a redemption period, after access is shut off.
We call this in the legal world "reasonable time to cure" - and it's so easy to do. This is also why they have process servers.
Microsoft is seeing some of the consequences of what happens when they don't do that.

❗️ Microsoft VP wants us to stop hating on them for suspending the WireGuard and other developer accounts: "iT's LiTeRaLLy PaPeRwOrK." Bro.
Also Microsoft: "There are no appeals available, we have closed your application."

Hey I love dumping on my company as much as the next guy, because Microsoft does some dumb stuff, but sometimes it's just check emails and verify your accounts. Not every "WTF micro$oft" moment is a slam dunk. I've emailed VeraCrypt personally and we'll get him unblocked. I've already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it's literally paperwork.

Leaves X but stays on FB and IG (Meta) where Meta's other app, WhatsApp is being sued over privacy allegations.
"...Meta employees, Irish consulting and tech firm Accenture and possibly other third parties, unbeknownst to users, can access messages via a “backdoor” in the WhatsApp source code."
But don't let that stop you fighting, EFF, fight for backdoors!

EFF's reasoning is a bunch of nonsense. Makes literal zero sense and logic.

@Remorseee @xMatthii @Pirat_Nation Was the highest I can go before the chipset/board cried of pain. $300 for 96GB a year later sounds like a scam so I'm glad I pulled that trigger. Same 96GB kit is selling for $1600 right now.
Why? AI, resource hungry hobbies, future proofing. I upgrade once every 8-10 years.

@PuckDontLie Majority are independent, the party of normalcy. Both sides contain psychotic idiots or brainwashed sheep. What a stupid idiotic take.

That's what happens when you take a group of men who mostly stopped going to school after the 10th grade...

That's a massive security concern because if they aren't routinely monitoring their "once in a blue moon" account and it's compromised... threat actors can now use their account to sign malicious drivers. Why should we trust and why should MSFT trust these partners with privileged access to the world's computers via driver signing capabilities if they can't routinely monitor for communication?
We're going in circles here. If MSFT didn't require this validation, people wouldn't hate on MSFT. But then if compromised accounts were abused, people would hate on MSFT for not being secure enough.
English
@FatalHydra @chrisprice @ehtalgj @IntCyberDigest tbh we dont know if they are microsoft admins, they might as well only have that account for signing a new driver once in a blue moon.
English
@My1xT @chrisprice @ehtalgj @IntCyberDigest And to clarify, admins can sort by "Act by" to see the more "time sensitive" events.
English
I'll reiterate that this doesn't absolve Microsoft entirely. The affected people were at fault for ignoring a required action for several months.
Microsoft needs to fix their awful support channels as it will take several weeks to months to settle a single ticket.
Both at fault, latter would never need to be mentioned if former validated identity when asked to.
English
@xMatthii @Pirat_Nation I've got 96GB and reach 60-70% with 3 Chrome profiles open (~25 tabs), YT Music, Discord, IDE, and a game all running.
I'm pretty sure Windows will use what's available so do we really need that much? Probably not but we're quickly reaching a 32GB recommended spec.
English
What are the chances people don't monitor communication channels from Microsoft? Is very high chance. It's a common event every time there's a breaking change announced.
> Change your firewall rules to support new endpoints
*ignored*
> VS Subscription for partners are ending, you'll lose Azure credits
*ignored*
I mean let's be serious for once...
Communication comes through two main channels: email and message center. Sometimes, like in this situation, it was also a public blog: techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/hardware-…
They gave them 30 days, extended it another 3.5 months. What more are they to do? Knock on your door? Send physical letters?
English
@FatalHydra @IntCyberDigest What are thr chances that 3 separate accountd all missed those emails? Stop with the clownish takes, clown.
English
Did you read over the 6 months over deadline?
Communication is not only via email. It's also in the Message Center and as a blog post. Here's the public link: techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/hardware-…
They were given 30 days, Microsoft "gracefully" gave them an additional 3.5 months. They ignored it for 138 days.
Anyone involved with Microsoft Partner program or overall Microsoft services is well aware to monitor for communications as changes are announced that are breaking and require action.
The only thing MSFT sucks at in this specific case is their piss-poor support channel. It takes ages to get proper help, you get the runaround every single time.
English
@FatalHydra @ehtalgj @IntCyberDigest Yeah, they will. Microsoft is a regularly hoaxed domain and for all we know they weren't using SPF and DKIM on the subdomain.
But that isn't the point, at all.
The point is accounts should have been gracefully suspended, and given an option to fix it - at least for a year.
English
@ninaturner Interesting, a former Senator of Ohio and deliberately misleading the people? Shocker...
YOU have lost your damn mind. Ignorance isn't an excuse and you 100% posted this to rage bait other idiots.
English
Such emails will not land in spam, stop it. You're inventing silly excuses.
If they miss the email in their inbox, they have the message center in the admin portal as well. It's their job as a partner to monitor for that.
Anyone working with Microsoft services is aware and checks them weekly or monthly (assuming they're a quality worker).
English
@FatalHydra @IntCyberDigest Like, emails that invariably land in spam because 99.999% from the same address are? Explain dark pattern to me
English
@J4ybo6 @Brparadox @ShiftyTV_ Wouldn't be illegal if they're using OEM distribution keys. May be why it's $25 vs $100 (retail).
English
@CreatedByEric @Brparadox @ShiftyTV_ You linked MAS which is what I mentioned already. It's not cracked keys, it's just faking the activation. Still illegal though MSFT doesn't bat an eye.
Do you know they use MAS and charge $25 for a free tool or guessing here?
English
@FatalHydra @Brparadox @ShiftyTV_ No, they use a Github tool that installs cracked Window's keys. They charge $25 for it.
github.com/massgravel/mic…
English
@Brparadox @ShiftyTV_ $25 for W11 Pro? Are y'all subsidizing the cost through MSFT licensing or charging for using MAS?
(actually curious)

@Hughmongus117 @BriKalzgz @thestinkeye You can scroll thru his history to find them but using a loaded word like "meltdown" is just one example of his biased reporting. There's several more. It's not 90% of his work and he's stopped as of late after getting backlash but it did happen.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), has a meltdown today while testifying in front of the Senate Finance Committee, claiming that America is the “sickest” country in the world and placing the blame on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as both Democrats and Republicans question his attempted push of apparent anti-vaccine policies as well as his gutting of senior officials and scientists at the CDC.
English
This is the absolute worst of the worst OSINT accounts on X.
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
Not a single word or post from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in nearly 10 hours, since the first reports of an American F-15E Strike Eagle being downed over Southern Iran.
English
@BriKalzgz @thestinkeye Misinformation has been posted and corrected afterwards. And the past year, the account has been too emotional and political. Will frame news to cater to their political beliefs. We want OSINT, not FOX News or CNN.
