@NanoRaptor In fairness I am much older than that, but a lot of the time I am not great at remembering things before 1997 (ask my partner... we met in 1995, but I am told I got it all wrong)
@kylie.robison He actually told you that with a straight face? Like, he actually believes that they can manually fix billions of errors? Or is what he really believes is they can stamp out the most obvious absurdities and then we have to live with everything else being lies that are too believable and that they can't bother to quash?
I am booked to be on BC Today on CBC TV, GEM, Radio 1, and YouTube at noon today (Friday 24 May) for a ~20 minute discussion on London Drugs ransomware leaks and Cybersecurity in general. Join us if you're free and interested!
For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in the field would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet.
Moved some stuff today to my storage locker. Got me thinking of @spike@threatresearch and his work at the Media Archaeology Lab. My original Amiga 1000 serial number 700. Price tag shows original $1295 USD price from 1985, $3775 today. 256 KB RAM if I recall. Amazing system at the time.
@arstechnica Not to keep beating this dead horse, but I'm having a hard time with the idea that a room full of grown-ass adults sat around, planned this and no one thought it was a terrible idea? What is it that is in the water at these tech companies? I understand that the US has no concept of privacy, but most of the rest of the world does. Do they really expect us all to go along with this? I have yet to see anything useful from "copilot" that even justify its energy consumption.
@GottaLaff Trump also wants to eliminate Section 230, which would likely make Truth Social an even greater liability (I know, hard to believe) than it already is.
