I love when a fraud ring is exposed by hacking procedures. It's why we can't have bad things.

Just in time for the Holidays, Bacon Christmas Tree Ornaments! From Amazon. Now THERE'S something I don't see every day. Next thing they'll do is have these little beauties plug into the Christmas Light string, heat up, and send out some bacon scents across the air for your scents-around pleasure.

The darkness . . . need not be feared or reviled. The darkest nights produce the brightest stars. The dimmest candle can remove the dark.

And I'd love to visit that group when you set it up, zennifer --especially sometime when it's -40F and windy up here in Duluth, MN!

The pessimistic side is that I'll bet all of those interested in obtaining access to everyone's data and devices would prefer that all devices be thin clients (or the equivalent), running to/from the cloud, and storing everything there. It certainly seems to make accessing others' data a lot more out of sight and out of…

Always improve your security posture. Always attend Thwack Camp! Where else can you get answers and ideas from experienced professionals while not having to spend funds on travel and meals and hotel?

A 53-qubit computer? Yes, fast/impressive. News? Maybe not. We regularly see/hear new milestone in computing achieved. Keeping those milestones in perspective requires great examples of what those improvements mean. When someone says that the computer in my pocket phone has more processing power than what NASA used to put…

Kaggle / Throne AI--plenty geeky, but are not my cup of tea. It's a game. Some team or person will win, everyone else will lose. The ball will go down to one end of the field, then back to the other. And it will begin over next season, and so on, ad infinitum. I don't see the thrill in "lather, rinse, repeat". However, if…

I question London's decions about f facial recognition software. It's been reported to be unreliable. San Francisco actually passed a low to ensure it would NOT be used (San Francisco just banned facial-recognition technology - CNN ). Wouldn't it be better to work at preventing the problem instead of reacting to it? If you…

It's interesting to me you mention that fear--I'd forgotten about a beard adventure I had back in '92. I was work in a factory, inspecting a running PAKO 306 Cine machine and caught my beard in its top gears. Fortunately they were 45-degree-angle gears, and my beard simply passed in one side. crossed the gears, and came…

A lovely and gracious summary, adatole. This year's December offering is a beautiful lesson in humility and consideration. Nice job choosing a topic that's easy for people get along with!

I'd support changing the topic from "Hack your network" to "Discover your network . . ." We all understand the intent, but emphasizing this is a tool that can be part of common hacking just isn't going the right direction for Management to be impressed with SW products.

Change Management shall rule in the name of all departments going forward. 1. From now on departments will not receive funding for projects or products or services that touch the corporate network, or that contain PCI, PPI, or PHI (even if they don't touch the corporate network), without first having been reviewed and…

Here's how old I am: I had to Google "what is a loot box?" Since I don't play video games (and since I don't gamble online or in-person), loot boxes have no impact on me. I wasn't aware of them as problems or indicators or stimulators of inappropriate/risky behavior. Maybe folks should go for a walk in the woods, learn how…

Sometimes reading the comments and applying common sense before answering can be your savior. I don't have the product, I was confused with the answer, worried (too much) about answering incorrectly. But reading the Comments and reducing the stress seemed to help me a lot. Both steps helped make the answer obvious. Kudos…

I never liked the fine print associated with the Weather Channel app, no matter how it was justified. No app for weather needs the kinds of access that app required, and I'm happy with with government web sites for my weather needs. Here's one for real time weather radar views of the last 40 minutes of my area--you can…

Say it ain't SO!!

What'll we do when our cars advertise to us? Tune them out, even as we tune out radio advertisement? Suppose we CAN'T turn down the volume or switch channels or move to an MP3 recording? That we are forced to sit still for the advertising? It happens in movie theaters. There's no tuning it out before the movie begins. It…

I had a hankering for the heater/chiller, but decided I could get a hot or cold beverage from the local vending machine and save myself the desk space. But it DOES look interesting. Now I'm waiting for another big ticket cool item, since I'm not a bean-bag-board (Corn Hole Game) guy. I understood interesting items may be…

Bacon Seeds are a thing, but they aren't as politically correct as an apple seed. For additional ideas about bacon, have you heard Jim Gaffigan's take on it? Jim Gaffigan - Bacon - KING BABY - YouTube

Netflix has an interesting documentary showing the relationships between Jobs & Gates that you might find interesting. "American Genius: Jobs vs. Gates" I enjoyed it, remember I was wondering at both of them back in the 90's--"Why are they doing these things?"

So the study says Phy Ed class is bad for middle school children because they get bullied there? It's odd the study doesn't say "Parents fail to prevent their children from becoming bullies." I suspect P.E. is not the problem. Too, "studies" are not all created equal. One might question who, if any, benefits from reducing…

Like you, steamfoundry, I all-too-frequently have vendors claim we're blocking their applications ports for traffic within the same VLAN, or across VLANs, or at our Internet-facing firewall. It's an easy explanation for them, an excuse for why their product doesn't work properly, but I tend to give them the benefit of the…

This should be required reading for anyone using the Internet. Or at least for IT departments and business administrators and Security folks. Thanks for providing it again. Next, update it with links to resources we can share with less tech-savvy folks, which can help them understand how to be safe while being connected.…

Apple has a new computer that is nearly $7K? Again: "So what?" Call me when that same processing power and design is $10; then I'll be impressed. Wake up Moore & tell him to get his Law in Order.

Facebook. Apparently unlike most folks, I always have read the disclaimers and fine print in Facebook. I never play games in it, never allow other sites or applications to mine my personal information or that of my friends. And I never, Never, NEVER use Facebook credentials to log into any other application or web site. I…

I'm continually impressed by Thwack. More so than by anything else. Including the wry satires one might enjoy on SNL, and that's saying something!

This Corona Virus thing might be the push that tips a lot of telecommuting into a reality. But it'll have all sorts of ripple effects. Needs for better home network speeds, home network hardware & bigger monitors, desk space, home cubicle, etc. It might have an impact on public transportation and private auto sales.…

Spreading ear worms is a dirty job, but someone has to bring them to the attention of everyone else. And let's not forget: * This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend! * I'm walkin' on Sunshine--WELL! * Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip! * Who let the dogs out?!
