@honeymoon250 Now granted, I just spent 4 months in Europe (tipping is almost an insult), the service was, in most cases, BETTER than the service I've gotten in the States... But my question is, "When did it become my responsibility to subsidize some company's payroll costs?"

I hate "idiot loops". Like when you have trouble signing in or creating an account on a platform, and in order to "open a ticket," you have to log in...#wow #fail @Guesty

Old devices that you no longer use/have could create issues for you later...take a few moments and do some "Spring Cleaning" on your accounts! Sidebar: I'd do the same for my streaming service accounts! daledumbsitdown.com/device-protect…

I hate #lazy developers. Latest: I bought a new @Tesla last year and contacted @SIRIUSXM to transfer my "lifetime" subscription to it (worked on my old Tesla)..."We're working on it. "Nearly a year has passed, and they still have not been able to transfer it. #Seriously? #fail

Say WHAT?! 30% off this book from such a cool guy! Listen, if you want a start at OSINT, this is the book to start with, as well as have handy in the real world! amzn.to/48f6hQr You should order two, you know, one to read and one to keep in pristine condition so 20 years from now you can sell it for millions! ;-)

As a cybersecurity expert, I'm not stunned—sadly, this is a pattern of inept security practices. A 2014 ANSSI audit flagged the laughably weak password "LOUVRE" for the surveillance system (and "THALES" for their software!). Where was the follow-up? YEARS of ignored warnings, no patches, no upgrades, stuck on Windows 2000 post-2010, when security updates ended. Why no update? Likely budget cuts, prioritizing other departments over IT, or an app tied to that ancient OS, common excuses I've heard on countless engagements. Clients swear "our systems are all updated," only for me to find some forgotten box running an outdated OS because it powers a niche app they didn't want to update, couldn't (vendor dropped support), or wouldn't (too cheap to invest since it "just works"). Fast-forward to the Oct 18, 2025 heist: €88-100M Napoleonic jewels stolen from the Denon Wing (Mona Lisa's home). Initial reports? Only ONE camera monitored the gallery, NONE on the entry balcony. Disabled by slick thieves, or just gross neglect? Either way, pros disguised as workers waltzed in. This isn't security; it's an open door. Companies must prioritize cybersecurity NOW, before more "art" walks off. #LouvreHeist #CyberSecurityFail #ArtTheft

Every one of my Cybersecurity sense are going off. Another intrusion into our personal life, another vector (the unit plus a 3rd party human is involved with their infrastructure). Is this a future job of the future? Someone hired to do my house work?). wsj.com/tech/personal-…
