After 30+ years of signing windows drivers, we have been locked out of driver signing like many other companies. In a word, the disrespect and disregard with which MSFT is treating IHVs and ISVs is stunning. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s because we didn’t read our emails or submit the right verification paperwork. Cuz we did all that back in October. And this month, we were suddenly and without any warning locked out. Support said they’d “do their best” to let us know “within 90 days” if we’re good enough to get back on. In the meantime, many thousands of desktops and instruments are not being updated, cuz we can’t sign drivers. Awesome job, Microsoft. Thanks.

WireGuard has some big updates ready to go on Windows, our first on the platform in nearly 4 years. We've done some nice modernizations and improvements, fixed bugs, added features, updated the toolchain, and more. But our release is currently blocked by @Microsoft. The recent thread on Hacker News encouraged me to write this up, rather than just grumbling to myself privately about it as I have the last two weeks. I logged in to get the WireGuardNT driver signed -- a necessary step for driver authors -- and was greeted by this vague message that the account has been suspended. Looking further into it, it seems like they instituted an identity verification policy, didn't notify me about it, and then I guess they suspended accounts who didn't do the verification. So of course I did the ID card verification immediately, but now an appeal is necessary. The appeals process requires filing a support ticket, but filing a support ticket requires a non-suspended account... Catch-22, eventually resolved by filing one through Azure and getting it rerouted to the right department. That was two weeks ago. Now they've told me there's a 60 day appeal review period. Wish us luck! It's a little crazy, because what if there was some critical ring 0 RCE vuln that was being exploited in the wild and that needed to be patched immediately? (Just hypothetical; there isn't.) In that case, telling users "sorry, you've got to wait 60 days" would be sort of bad. And users of WireGuard for Windows are also Microsoft Windows users, so I can't see how this is good for Microsoft either. I think it must just be a case of bureaucracy gone slightly off the rails. Happens. If any Microsofters are able to make this take not-sixty-days, please do get in touch.

@vxunderground Our account was also suspended. It is required for development on MemTest86. (Some irony here as Microsoft use MemTest86 for validating & testing their Surface laptops).

Microsoft suspended the developer account for WireGuard (and also VeraCrypt). Why? Literally nobody knows. Presumably it's because Microsoft hates everyone and wants us all to suffer.

Windscribe@windscribecom·
It appears @Microsoft is actively suspending developer accounts with no warning or reason of various security tools like VeraCrypt, WireGuard and also Windscribe. We've had this VERIFIED account for 8+ years to sign our drivers. We've been trying to resolve this for over a month, and getting nowhere. Support is non-existent. Anyone know a human with a brain that still works at Microsoft and can help?

Just Microsoft things... Recently they terminated the VeraCrypt developer's Microsoft account. VeraCrypt is a free and open-source disk encryption software that performs on-the-fly encryption (OTFE) to create virtual encrypted disks, encrypt partitions, or secure entire storage devices.

Just got this from Planet Labs: Dear Tyler Rogoway, Due to the conflict in the Middle East, the U.S. government has requested all satellite imagery providers voluntarily implement an indefinite withhold of imagery in the designated Area of Interest (AOI). Effective retroactively from March 9, 2026, Planet is moving to a managed access model, extending the publication delay for all new imagery within the designated AOI, and releasing imagery on a case-by-case basis and for urgent, mission-critical requirements or in the public interest. For the -media, this model is in line with the media policies of other remote sensing companies. We expect this policy to last through the end of the conflict.Access to imagery for the rest of the world is unaffected. These are extraordinary circumstances, and we are doing all we can to balance the needs of all our stakeholders. We will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as possible to minimize the impact on data availability to our customers. For questions regarding specific projects or to request a policy exception, please contact your Customer Success Manager or support@planet.com.We appreciate your continued partnership as we work to ensure our data remains available for responsible use. Best Regards, Planet Team
Tyler Rogoway@Aviation_Intel

Can western commercial satellite imagery be trusted? I think there are good arguments to be made for delaying imagery. But if they will selectively restrict access, could they move to alter images too in the future? Their biggest customer is uncle sam in many cases.

SNOWCRETE lives! On Wednesday, we posted that many of the large piles of Snowcrete that endured through March were gone. But readers informed us that there are still some out there. We received reports of piles lingering in Alexandria, Germantown, Fairfax, College Park, and Burke. There is also a massive one still in the parking lot at Carter Barron in NW DC. Pictured here is the Snowcrete remaining outside the BWI Daily Lot. Thanks to Jonathan Dean, Director of Communications at BWI, for sharing.

The president sat in the public gallery, on a bench, surrounded by ordinary citizens. There was no announcement of his arrival. No Hail to the Chief. Instead, Trump came in quietly, shuffled around looking for a seat, and waited in silence with the rest of us for the final 10 minutes before arguments began. I was 50 feet away from him. It was stunning. Trump looked small on that wooden bench in the grandeur of the courtroom, sitting below the nine justices. It was a stark reminder of how our founders structured our government. Trump is not a king. He cannot ignore the Constitution. And the Supreme Court has the last word on what he can and cannot do.
Scott Thuman@ScottThuman

The court sketches of President Trump sitting in at the Supreme Court today as justices weighed his actions to limit 'birthright citizenship'. Trump is the first sitting President to attend proceedings. He stayed just about an hour and left during the defense's arguments. After court adjourned, Trump posted on Truth Social: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Actually, about three dozen countries, nearly all of them in the Americas, guarantee citizenship to children born on their territory, per Associated Press.

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

James Blunt@JBlunt1018·
Go with me for a second on the birthright citizenship scenario — simple version. You’re saying citizenship should depend on whether someone is here “legally.” Okay. Who defines “legal”? Congress. And Congress can change that definition anytime. Now fast forward 25–30 years. A different political wave takes over, not your side. Let’s say a very aggressive left-wing government. They decide certain groups are a “problem” or “historically harmful” or “overrepresented.” So they pass a law redefining “legal presence.” Not by geography. Not by birth. By criteria like: — ideology — ancestry — demographic quotas — “equity” frameworks Sounds crazy but we’ve literally done versions of this before, go see the Chinese Exclusion Act. Now under YOUR framework: Only people who meet this new definition of “legal” are considered fully “subject to jurisdiction.” Everyone else are not legal therefore not covered so their kids don’t get citizenship. So you now have: A child born in the U.S. Grew up here Never left Knows no other country But not a citizen… because Congress changed a definition of what legal means. Nothing about the child changed. Only politics did. That’s the entire problem with your argument. You’re turning citizenship from a constitutional guarantee into a policy lever. And policy levers get pulled. The 14th Amendment was written specifically to stop that, to make citizenship automatic at birth so it couldn’t be manipulated by whoever happens to be in power. Because once you let Congress define “who counts,” you’re not protecting citizenship anymore even for yourself.
James Blunt@JBlunt1018

Birthright citizenship isn’t complicated; the fringe is trying to make it sound complicated. This isn’t hard. 1. If the concern is illegal entry, enforce the border. We already spend billions on CBP and ICE. That’s an execution issue, not a constitutional one. 2. If the concern is birth tourism fix it directly: — Shorten B2 visa stays — Tighten screening at entry — Enforce visa intent rules These are policy levers fully within government control. You don’t rewrite the Constitution because enforcement is weak. C’mon man!

Really unusual. - NYT & BBC: US military struck sports hall/school with a new weapon never before used in war (the PrSM) - DoD: denies any US strike in area and claims video "does not show" that weapon - Then great @bellingcat's Trevor Ball refutes DoD claim about the video
Trevor Ball@Easybakeovensz

Interesting claim by CENTCOM here. A very quick estimated measurement using the diameters of the Hoveyzeh and PrSM make the length much more consistent with the PrSM. The Hoveyzeh silhouette is also much different, with wings and a visible engine depending on angle.

Yo fui ingeniero en Meta, y siempre seguía FAIR desde adentro. Lo que acaban de publicar es la versión que les dejan publicar. Pero con eso, es más que suficiente para decirles exactamente que es lo que está pasando. TRIBE v2 predice, vértice por vértice sobre la corteza cerebral, qué zonas activa cualquier video. Sin escáneres. Sin humanos. Subes el contenido, obtienes el mapa neural (activación emocional, supresión de razonamiento crítico, modulación prefrontal) antes de que el video lo vea un solo usuario. Ahora considera la posición de Meta: 1. Tiene años de datos de Reels sobre qué contenido retiene atención, genera enojo, provoca compartir. 2. Saben empíricamente qué funciona. TRIBE v2 les da el mecanismo causal de por qué funciona (a nivel de tejido cortical) Eso convierte correlación histórica en capacidad predictiva sobre contenido nuevo. 3. Internamente hay herramientas que se llaman Gatekeepers y Quick Promotions que sirven para inyectar contenido en el feed de poblaciones arbitrarias a escala. 4. Simulador de respuesta cerebral + conocimiento empírico de contenido efectivo + maquinaria de distribución selectiva. El pipeline está completo. Y luego está Thiel. Inversor y amigo personal de Zuck. Fundador de Palantir, cuyo negocio es análisis de poblaciones a escala para gobiernos e inteligencia. NO es descabellado observar que confluyen los incentivos de plataformas construidas por las mismas personas. La licencia CC BY-NC dice que Meta retiene los derechos comerciales del predictor de respuesta cerebral más preciso jamás construido. Y recuerda, esto es lo que decidieron hacer público.
AI at Meta@AIatMeta

Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound. Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.
