@Viss why’d you have to drop that bomb on me

@Viss they tried to warn us, but we were so distracted by the neo funk groove and their smooth moves to pay attention…

@Viss uhm akshuly, Jamiroquai is the name of the whole band, and the weird hat guy who spent 22 hours a day, staring at our phones, is Jason Kay.

@Viss

i'd love to think this will encourage the return of actual physical headphone jacks on phones and laptops but there are not enough paranoid consumers, i fear.

@Viss @oots my threat model hasn’t changed (no one will do this to me)

[viss@mastodon.social]

@jason @oots youre in Denver? standby

[jkdelauney@tech.lgbt]

@funnymonkey @Viss some of those people also carrying on about how juice jacking is just totally not a thing while the O.MG cable has been around a long time now and most android phones are on end of life OSes that will never get updates.

It’s fine. It’s all fine.

@Viss I feel vindicated by my leaving the house shortcut that disables WiFi and Bluetooth so that I have to intentionally turn them on if I need them. I may just go to leaving Bluetooth off period, unless I’m using it.

@Viss

more and more, i'm aligned with the under 40 crowd (other than the constantly being glued to a smart phone). audio, politics, so many other areas, the old 60s saw of don't trust anyone over 30 doesn't seem that wrong...

@Viss @funnymonkey this concerns me with rfid which you can't even turn off...

I know in most cases it's encrypted on stuff like credit cards but like work badges or stuff? Do you think your boss would believe "no I didn't go into the server room and execute that malware off a USB stick? Yeah I know my badge was recorded as opening the door but it wasn't me... Pinky promise"

Paranoid people have rfid blocking wallets but so many still have work badges on their waist or neck....

[viss@mastodon.social]

@vrek @funnymonkey you have to get a lot closer for rfid than you do bt. you can hack bt from across the street

[vrek@mastodon.social]

@Viss @funnymonkey true but if I(hypothetically) stand behind you in line buying lunch couldn't I have a device in my pocket to read your badge? If I'm not mistaken it's similar to the technology used in car keys which is readable like 6 feet away so should be readable waiting in line at McDonald's or subway.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@vrek @funnymonkey you are mistaken

[vrek@mastodon.social]

@Viss @funnymonkey what is the approximate distance? Feet? Inches? I thought badge readers intentionally made it so it had to be close to prevent interference from other cards but with a appropriate reader the distance was farther...
