@cR0w there is if its so loud it wakes me up an hour before my alarm every morning for two weeks in a row, from five blocks away

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@zarchasmpgmr @Viss yep I'm keeping this one lmao (it's probably made by AI btw lol - edit: no it's legit, thanks for the confirmation)

[varx@defcon.social]

@Viss Oh yeah, this is a totally new thing because ai browsers....people totally weren't already using browser automation tools like playwright and selenium to automate skipping through those trainings. 👀

@varx leave it to gartner to be like 20 years behind the curve

@f4grx @Viss this predates gen A”I”, I’ve had it for about 6 years.

[zarchasmpgmr@infosec.exchange]

@Viss Hydraulic breakers are most active in early morning when they search for food. You probably live close to their favorite foraging area, underground fiber optic runs.

@Viss

indeed. i haven't taken anything they said seriously in years.

at one point, i was working for a startup hoping to IPO and i didn't dodge fast enough, so got to be the pet techie for the analyst road show.

i was appalled at the lack of any understanding of the technology by these "experts". even scarier, i started noticing that, while i am no financial expert, their business acumen really wasn't much better.

companies would be better off getting cash from the bank and burning it to warm their offices than pay for these "expert reports".

@Viss 'in which research VP Dennis Xu, senior director analyst Evgeny Mirolyubov, and VP analyst John Watts observe “Default AI browser settings prioritize user experience over security.”'

@bloc welp

Fun fact:

UPS doesn't deliver everywhere in the world themselves. Certain French islands for example, they don't. If you use UPS to send it there, UPS actually hands it over to DHL or FedEx (I can't recall which, memory is fuzzy)

So yes, UPS hires other shipping companies at times. And you won't know...

@Aprazeth ups cost me 1600 dollars because one of their last-mile shipping 'partners' destroyed a nas someone bought from me on ebay, and ebay blamed me for it

... In their defense, they clearly signpost with their primary color.

Sheesh, that sucks big time. I'd recommend taking photos when shipping stuff but probably preaching to the choir here. And avoid them whenever possible.

Which, considering the quality of their software and website is probably a blessing

TIL: the first experiments were in the ‘50s.

That K19 thing sounds only one step better than those bomb-dousing devices.
