U.S. Cyber Command capabilities have now been used in both the Caracas Venezuela raid to capture Maduro *and* Operation Midnight Hammer’s targeted strikes in Iranian nuclear facilities. You can now know this because it has been intentionally disclosed in both instances.

@andyfang How big does your business have to be to assign tasks on ChoreDash? I would like to use for a small part-time family business to assign tasks to my kids in preparation for hopefully replacing them with robots

Introducing Dasher Tasks Dashers can now get paid to do general tasks. We think this will be huge for building the frontier of physical intelligence. Look forward to seeing where this goes!

The future is here and it looks a lot like being a kid. Doing chores for petty cash. I have heard the robot future will have UBI so basically an allowance?

It’s almost like I never left Mandiant before the Google acquisition now. Finally got paaaaaid that Google money 😂

I used to develop mobile apps for Android Now we fancy like Applebee’s on a date night

@mvalsmith @vxunderground ^For sure this. Experts are often nuanced and dislike sensational narratives. With rare exceptions, journalists dislike the lengthy discussion about something they would like a hard-hitting stance on, any direction. Plus many small companies pay-to-place a mention.

When I was "infosec" famous (speaking at Blackhat, Defcon, bunch of the other cons, working on big name tools, publishing, etc.) I was interviewed by multiple media outlets. A few that stand out: Forbes, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal. Not once, in the 10s of interviews I went through, did they get it right in the story. This resulted in me implementing a ban on doing interviews. A lot of bigger names than me that I know have done the same. So maybe its just people who don't care about accuracy, just about getting their name out, that are willing to do interviews.

I am genuinely impressed by mainstream media outlets ability to find absolute nobodies in cybersecurity. It's remarkable. I am often left speechless. There has been dozens occasions, especially as of recent, where some media outlet will be like, "Today as a special guest is world-renowned cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker Joe McCyberSecurity". I'm like, who the fuck is Joe McCybersecurity? I've been doing cybersecurity and malware stuff for a long time and I've never once seen or heard of Joe McCybersecurity. If he is world-renowned, I would THINK I would have seen them or heard of them. The camera then pans over to Joe McCybersecurity and it is the most generic cookie cutter white dude in a cheap suit and the tag below him will say something like, "Joe McCybersecurity, Ethical Hacker, CEO of Cybersecurity McJoe Industries" I'm like, "Cybersecurity McJoe Industries? What the fuck is that?". I look it up and it's a generic WordPress website hosted on GoDaddy with an expired SSL cert. Joe McCybersecurity then babbles incomprehensible nonsense for about 60 seconds until the TV host goes "woaw" and it cuts to a commercial. Absolute cinema.

I've been fortunate, I brought my first car in once and had it mobile serviced once. It used to be much easier. Now wait times seem crazy. I expect the team appreciated that for my current car (which has had no maintenance problems and is well-made), I self-diagnosed my issue in service mode, provided exact codes and documentation, making the whole thing easier. Help them help you. I get that others have had poor experiences despite best effort though

@ItsReallyNick The only thing service centers give me is excuses

Man even Tesla service is fun. I don’t have to use it much in 7 years of owning their cars but today they asked if I wanted a loaner and I joked that I’d take a matte black cybertruck. “Wait we have one” They called me on it. 😅

@HackingLZ @rhensing Turns on cybertruck off-road mode Adjusts ride height Bumps curb at school pickup Hell yeah brother!

@ItsReallyNick @rhensing Peak 4 wheel steering usage Cul de sac 🤣

@SLEUTHCON so you’re saying we have less than 30 days to pay, otherwise we will lose all of our access to Sleuthcon? In case you plan to leak the names of people who don’t pay, I will help spread the word

@grok Ok I will take that as official guidance that it will support the weight of as many as can fit 😅

@ItsReallyNick Sorry, I couldn't fetch the content of that post with my tools. Can you paste the text or describe it so I can reply directly?

I picked it up in <15 min total for service and was on way to work, so I actually used FSD the whole way to/from work - was worried about adjusting to size from my M3P. Did great on tight turns but FSD did the work (I use it >90% in my M3P). FSD was probably good too bc it allowed me to watch people's faces - the people are definitely still divided but have extreme love/hate for cybertruck. Was fun to be able to watch reactions safely... though I was most worried they'd drive into me. It is funny we love these cars and they are unique driving experiences, then we also love not driving them w/ FSD. Interesting but fun dilemma. I manually drove around neighborhoods w/ the kids last night and was def most impressed with steer-by-wire around cul-de-sacs. It's also surprisingly easy to park w/ the improved cameras. Gotta say, jealous of cam quality & front bumper camp (missing on my M3P Highland)

@ItsReallyNick Interested to hear your thoughts. It’s an amazing vehicle. Love the steering. Took some getting used to now I hate driving regular cars. But then again I don’t drive anymore soooo

@NerdShinobi A bat signal for high-to-low price sort energy You will not I didn't say that I didn't use it 😅

@ItsReallyNick A lot of experienced log analysts checking in here! 😆

I would love to know who actually clicks Sort: By Price (High to Low) to buy stuff

@scriptjunkie1 Ahh good point, using as an item vs accessory filter basically. Makes more sense somewhere with a bunch of trash items like Amazon. I am still not sure who uses it on product/brand websites for anything other than a laugh

@ItsReallyNick I have done this when looking for stuff like a pixel 8, then trying to filter out a million $9 pixel cases to find the actual pixel 8

It appears that Microsoft removed the discovery of all domains in a tenant through ACS, a technique that I shared at my BH/DC talks last summer (though probably not many people spotted the reference). I found it out during a live demo of course 🙃

@elonmusk Let us drive it with a Bluetooth gaming controller not because it is necessary, but because it is fun. Consider porting to all models 🙏 @larsmoravy

Cybercab, which has no pedals or steering wheel, starts production in April

@rhensing Wait so in some states that’s $200K off of $260K (325 mile range) $290K (500 mile range) @grok I assume these are or will be for commercial vehicle use only? Either way, spec me out a $60K total cost Semi that I convert into an RV

$200k incentives for the Semi in some states????

@robustus I’m with you on everything but regexes (patterns are fun!) and shell scripting. Automating the boring parts is cool but don’t rob yourself of the job of creative problem solving.

Turns out with claude code, my decades long strategy of NOT deeply learning: - regexs - sql - nginx confs - elaborate shell commands - advanced shell scripting - any javascript framework - perf optimization - webpack, cdns, bundlers - 1000 other things ...was entirely correct.
