@TVAnews Beautiful lift, folks.

Big progress at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant! 💪 Last week, our team successfully removed the 425,000-pound generator rotor, marking a major milestone in Unit 3's maintenance and refueling outage. This rotor will be replaced following additional maintenance within the turbine generator, helping us stay focused on safe, reliable, breaker-to-breaker performance. 🙌

Payphones are strangely still licensed in California, so I filed a FOIA request and got the full list. Naturally I made a game you can now play:

My bigger question is which videos are in the Downloaded folder. I'd say 1969, RCA, with this one from @veritasium : youtu.be/AF8d72mA41M?si…

You can send a single smartphone to any point in human history. No instructions. Winner is whoever advances human progress the most. When + where do you send it?

I’m a bit concerned about the non-inquisitive celebration from infosec on this. Where is the “what does keystroke latency even mean?” Without that, you can’t implement it for yourself, nor can you identify weaknesses. ~3yrs I was privately proposing similar options. So, AS SOMEWHAT OF A KEYBOARD EXPERT MYSELF 🤔💅, let’s look… First, this is most likely NOT a direct measure of network latency. This machine was physically located in Arizona. DPRK started off with shipping corp laptops overseas, but the network latency was a dead giveaway. So they started colocating them in the USA and remotely controlling them. First with remote control software, which is easy to identify if the company has security software on the machine. And then with hardware like IP-KVMs. There are sometimes a few tells that an IP-KVM is in use, but a well tuned one will identify exactly like a normal external keyboard/mouse/monitor. Unless… This is where you have to start looking beyond device identity and instead look at input anomalies. Keyboard/mouse input being sent halfway across the world via network packets to an IP-KVM can look… weird. Think bursts of input. This looks very weird with mouse data that is normally smooth. But even keystrokes start to stand out when you have a big enough dataset to compare against. So, of course, you could improve the IP-KVM to smooth out and “humanize” the inputs before relaying them to the host. But… You can also present some real time control surfaces. I don’t want to blow anyone’s defense tradecraft here. So let’s just imagine the employee needs to play a 5sec game of flappybird each day. Or maybe it’s an overt “DPRK Detector” step during login. The visual input has to travel halfway across the globe, then the input has to come all the way back. That’s a massive delay for response to visual stimulus. Certainly anomalous enough to warrant investigation. How do you beat that? Maybe an AI process running on the IP-KVM that plays DPRK Detector for you? The arms race will continue. And it’s mostly because HR and Hiring Managers don’t want to do deeper background checks needed to identify fake/stolen identities. 🤷‍♂️ And for anyone not familiar with these hunts, the detection techniques are NOT definitive proof of wrong doing. They are simply turning a mountainous hay stack into a fistful of hay that a human can quickly sift through to look for other indicators. Note: there are environment-specific detections as well. But I tried to stay in territory that’s applicable to everyone who has this risk in their threat model.

We get it, AI is bad at math.

One of the coolest things about Kurowski's show is seeing her actually sit down with the client on camera with a pen and paper. This isn't about performing, it's about working, and listening.

Dear @Dell, Thank you for placing the power button where the delete key used to be. Totally doesn't surprise me daily.

@HackingLZ AI companies will be paying for unique content, one way or another.

@benji_york Are you *the* Benji York who created SNESKey??

Surprising data center fact: most don’t come anywhere close to max potential power draw. No real data on this, so it’s notable to hear Verrus’ CTO weigh in (I’ve heard even lower figures) in this must-listen interview:

@d0tslash @Viss @jcase @Crypt0s So, things might have changed, @d0tslash.

@d0tslash @Viss @jcase @Crypt0s Oops, I meant @viss. I hear rumors you know a few things about drones or something.

They would not let me leave with these shirts, and worked out how to get me new shirts that worked best for the suit, that fit, and that I could be comfortable in. 4/4

I was impressed, and bought a very nice suit, vest, and custom shirts. Fast forward a few weeks, I'm trying on the suit l, and the shirts are just wrong. Too much material in one place, too little in another. 3/4

BLUF: SuitSupply at Tysons is dedicated to quality and service. Would and will buy again. Hi folks, wanted to share a story really quick. I needed a suit for an upcoming wedding, and wanted it to be a nice one that I could wear for lots of occasions. 1/4
