Microsoft to remove legacy drivers from Windows Update for security boost Microsoft has announced plans to periodically remove legacy drivers from the Windows Update catalog to mitigate security and compatibility risks.

Good step forward in response to a lot of the living off the land and vulnerable drivers used for malicious purposes: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microso...

funniest fucking way to violate the One China policy lmao

Trump said today he reduced egg prices by 59%. Surely he wouldn't lie or intentionally mislead people with bogus numbers.

GitHub - aedancullen/hacking-the-rp2350: Resources from my talk "Hacking the RP2350" at 38C3 Resources from my talk "Hacking the RP2350" at 38C3 - aedancullen/hacking-the-rp2350

Why is there no tech/hacker news coverage on Aedan Cullen‘s amazing RP2350 OTP glitch work? It’s weird.

Here’s the GitHub: github.com/aedancullen/...

Demystifying Common Microcontroller Debug Protocols Many developers know that the answer to "How do I debug this microcontroller" is either "JTAG" or "SWD". But what does that mean, exactly...

Great video on microcontroller debug protocols.

In 50 minutes I’ll present some awesome hardware hacking on Apple’s new USB-C controller at #38c3 - would love to see you there!

I feel incredibly targeted with this meme.

The fact that it likely was a growler since they mentioned 2 crew members is probably pertinent as well.

As someone who lives in an area where the options are either Frys(Kroger) or Albertsons, it feels like a reasonable move. In no world would I as a consumer, have seen lower prices by allowing this merger.

Black Hat Python, 2nd Edition Explore the stealthier side of programming with Black Hat Python, 2nd Edition – fully updated for Python 3, with all new strategies for your hacking projects!

They also have black hat python, which is obviously a security oriented book, but a pretty fun read. nostarch.com/black-hat-py...

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, 3rd Edition Revised to include the latest Python features, even better explanations, and new chapters about databases and sound files.

Depends on what they are doing with it. No starch press has some great books that are domain specific, but my go-to for people has been "Automate the boring stuff with Python": nostarch.com/automate-bor...

I think that his strategy was excellent for Intel to become a leader in the fab space, but not for the company. It reminds me of people who have contempt for each-other and should have gotten a divorce years ago. When he doubled down on Intel being a fab and not a design business, that was his end.

So Pat Gelsinger got the boot from Intel today, and it's a fascinating study. His big failure was that he was so focused on the idea that Intels product was the ability to manufacture chips, that he wasn't able to pivot into what the market was actually wanting them to do: decouple fab and design.

Pretty awesome how much the RP2040 is getting used in the hardware security field. This is an example of a voltage glitch board on a RPi Pico. But there have been EMI glitching examples too. mkesenheimer.github.io/blog/pico-gl...

Blink with MicroPython - Wokwi ESP32, STM32, Arduino Simulator Run IoT and embedded projects in your browser: ESP32, STM32, Arduino, Pi Pico, and more. No installation required!

@circuitpython.org is one of my favorite projects over the last decade. The fact that we now have a great programming language and the ability to push projects on a RP2040 in a few minutes is simply incredible. Try it out: wokwi.com/projects/300...

Next year, I am definitely going to do something more fun for holiday lighting. Starting to think about what I should do to plan out the show.

Folks working in embedded security, if you haven't seen emb3d, check it out... emb3d.mitre.org

I'm surprised that it took that long to hit 10m users

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #464,798, jpleger.bsky.social ‪@jpleger.bsky.social‬, joined on Aug 3, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #464,798!

I sure am happy I’m not a school teacher trying to explain how many days are in each month today. So strange to see Feb 29th.

I would be more inclined to agree with you if their stance was more neutral on other topics. Across the board, nytimes has really put their thumb on the scale for ultra rightwing candidates. It’s really noticeable when you look at the Mazi Pilip articles covering the special election for the house.
