A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has apparently crashed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-middle-east-69035051

In two hours - somebody on LinkedIn will have decided the helicopter likely crashed due to a cyber attack, based on knowing some cyber compliance frameworks and how to install Java.

One of the things which baffles me the most about being an adult is nobody but me thinks they are rich.

I think it’s presumably an us vs them thing, ie people want to believe The Others are rich.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@pasquires that’s straight into The Others. People around here had iPhones, electric cars etc. I sit and fly planes in VR. I think we’re actually rich.

@kittylyst that is again The Others trope. You don’t have to ten million to be rich. That puts you into the less than 0.1% of earners in the UK.

GossiTheDog,
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@kittylyst yes, but you’re saying 10m and no longer needing to work as a metric for being rich. That’s an absurdly high bar.

The average salary in the US is, what, 64k?

GossiTheDog,
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

@pasquires you’re likely actually rich in comparison to most of the population of the UK (and world)

Wasn’t sure if I was interested in Assassin’s Creed Shadows but a few things have swung me:

  • Japan setting
  • Play as either a brute force warrior or ninja stealth character. Eg stealth character has a grapple and moves fast - but dies very quickly in combat.
  • light and shadows impact stealth for first time, you can Splinter Cell
  • dynamic weather, eg heavy rain, black out snow etc
  • dynamic seasons. In summer you can hide in bushes, in winter you can’t but can go prone in snow etc

Burn the planet for shareholder value! Woo!!

Microsoft released its 2024 Sustainability Report. Last year, Microsoft's emissions went up 29%, and it used 23% more water, primarily due to "new technologies, including generative AI."

@Schouten_B you might want to read the full report PDF, linked at the top of the page, rather than the PR spin.

Windows event later today where the Copilot key is unveiled and this Mac^H^H^HWindows laptop is shown for first time.

Can’t wait for EU to ban Copilot integration in Windows, and to reassign the key to a fart sound.

The picture and sound quality on the new Disney+ version of Queen’s 1981 Montreal concert are extraordinary.

I was just googling to see what happened with Ubisoft’s NFT initiative (brief recap, they tried shoving NFTs into their games, made $400, told their customers they were stupid for not understanding them, then announced a Blockchain game that never appeared) - while googling found this guy, whose posting history is all Ubisoft NFTs posts that all got downvoted to oblivion 🤣

I know the internet likes to poop on but after a few hundred hours I'm still enjoying it.

If you couldn’t go to CYBERUK (it costs thousands for entry) the talks are online.

@ollie_whitehouse’s ten minutes here is great, directly talks about how security product owners need to do better.

And yes, it is not lost on me that shortly after, a vendor pays to give a talk 🤣

    Now 250 hours into Starfield, level 122. Playing in survival mode, 45% XP boost in exchange for the game being tougher in theory - although in practice, since enemies are no longer bullet sponges I'm finding combat easier.

    Spent the last two days pirating ships, stealing them, selling their goods, raiding settlements and selling contraband. 2.6 million credits in that time. Not long until I'm the Hero of Canton!

    @coffe yep, enjoying it

    Grand Theft Spaceship from a space station.

    GossiTheDog,
    @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

    I've got a whole fleet of ships in this game, but this one - the worst looking one - that I made is my favourite. It has a cargo hold 400k deep, like 21 landing gears otherwise it won't take off, and it makes no sense... Also loads of space for smuggling.

    After several hundred hours in Starfield, I just discovered there are mech factories on Mars.

    GossiTheDog,
    @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

    Right, signing off for now, leaving my crew on Mars. Yes, I mounted an alien's head inside the ship on the wall.
