Red Wire, Blue Wire There I was, watchin’ yet another movie where the hero’s sweatin’ bullets over which wire to cut – red or blue. He’s crouched over some fancy-lookin’ bomb, hands shakin’, and someone’s screamin’ in his ear, “Cut the red one!” or “No, the blue one!” Ten seconds left on the clock, and wouldn’t ya know it, he snips the right one just in time. Crowd cheers, crisis averted. Me? I was sittin’ there thinkin’, Why’s it always gotta be red and blue? So I dug into it. Turns out, this whole red-versus-blue wire thing started with a British flick from the ’70s called Juggernaut. Some fella, Richard Harris, had to make the call: red or blue? That scene caught on like wildfire. But here’s the kicker – the colors don’t mean a damn thing. They picked ’em ’cause they pop on screen. That’s it. Pure movie magic. In the real world? Bombs don’t come with pretty little color-coded wires. It’s all a big mess of cables, and the experts? They don’t cut nothin’ unless they’ve got a solid plan. But Hollywood? They’re all about the drama.

What do you think about it?Some YubiKeys have an unfixable vulnerability that’s hard to exploit - The Verge theverge.com/2024/9/4/24235…

The Timeless Columbo Columbo. A name that sounds almost untidy, like a thought that gets tangled somewhere in your mind. And that’s exactly who he is. Columbo is the anti-hero of classic TV crime dramas, a character who doesn’t rely on the fast pace of modern shows but instead on the power of thought and subtle interrogation. It’s hard to pinpoint whether it’s his crumpled trench coat, his signature “Just one more thing…” moments, or his relentless pursuit of answers that captivates us. Perhaps it’s the fact that, in a world full of explosions and action sequences, Columbo stands still and quietly observes the room. As one critic put it, “Columbo’s unassuming demeanor and his shabby, ill-fitting coat contrast starkly with the high-society criminals he so often goes after” . That’s it: Columbo isn’t the hero we think we want today, but the one we truly need. In a TV landscape where crime shows bombard us with twists and turns, and gunshots often drive the plot instead of careful deduction, Columbo feels like a slow Sunday breakfast—in the best possible way. The tension doesn’t come from who committed the crime, but from how Columbo will catch them. This is where his real charm lies: Columbo represents something that is almost extinct in modern series—calmness. His method? Slow and steady. His interrogations are like works of art, where the criminal seems to always be one step ahead, until suddenly they’re not. As Peter Falk once said, “It’s not just the sharpness of his mind, it’s how he carries himself that makes him so powerful” . There are countless detectives who rely on evidence and forensic techniques. But Columbo? He’s different. “He isn’t just a detective, he’s a craftsman,” writes The Columbophile . He isn’t interested in drama. What matters to him is the detail, the small detail that only reveals itself when you stay still, when you listen. In a world full of noise, he takes the time to catch the criminals in their own web—always without losing his composure. Columbo isn’t just a TV show. It’s almost a way of life, a call to slow down in the chaos of the modern world, to observe, and to think. Just like the man himself: friendly, calm, but ultimately unstoppable. #weekend #columbo

Are hardware supply chain attacks "cyber attacks?" dlvr.it/TDjz3X

@_MG_ RF Interception module?!

That requires electronics to filter for that exact message, then trigger detonator. Could be modified firmware, but you still need to get the electrical signal to the detonator. Some level of extra wiring/components is needed. For 1000+ units, feels like a whole custom PCB 🧵5/n

The exploding Hezbollah pagers situation is an incredibly impressive supply chain attack by Israel (most likely). I am sure more details will come, but there are already some educated guesses to be made that narrow it down. 🧵1/n

CrowdStrike reveals root cause of global Windows device crash, implements new safety measures, and faces potential lawsuit from Delta Air Lines. Read details here: thehackernews.com/2024/08/crowds… #cybersecurity #infosec

With the #GhostWrite CPU vulnerability, all isolation boundaries are broken - sandbox/container/VM can't prevent GhostWrite from writing and reading arbitrary physical memory on affected RISC-V CPUs. Deterministic, fast, and reliable - no side channels. ghostwriteattack.com

web.archive.org/web/1998120223… I still remember well when it all started with Google. Back then, it replaced Altavista. Someone said, try Google. It worked straight away. There was nothing superfluous. No waiting. No particularly intelligent attempt to prepare the results for me. No registration. Many years later, someone said that the Altavista domain would be disconnected. I was just surprised that they still existed. The descent in the network can be just as fast as the ascent. Let's see if this can also happen with gptsearch (or searchgpt)! Whatever! The name at least is unlikely to be helpful.

RIP Google Search. 7 days ago, OpenAI announced SearchGPT, and it's INSANE. It's definitely better than Google Search. Here's everything you need to know:
