One of my favorite Web 1.0 sites is the “Silicon Zoo”.



Microscopic images of easter eggs hidden in CPUs. It’s way weirder than you’d expect.

Hacker chique LoRa pager, of course sold out already. But makes me want to make my own LoRa mesh chat device using meshtastic or a similar stack.

Why thousands of YouTube videos are about to lose money The big question for content creators: Will your videos still pay?

Wow, YouTube is actually doing the right thing here: gulfnews.com/technology/y...

AI voices need to identify themselves as such, so the other party knows they are talking to a software robot. If we know we are talking to a robot, we absolutely do not need AI voices doing emotional vocalisations, or even worse: vocal fry or uptalk. Instant tab close and laptop slam.

Reverse engineering Wipeout 2097 PSX models + animation = best 90s screensaver ever phoboslab.org/wipeout/

But luckily it does come with integration between Gemini & Google Drive. Which is great! Bc Google Drive doesn't even allow you to sort on file size + doesn't tell you the size of folders. AI to the rescue! NOT.

For those of you considering paying for @GoogleAI Gemini Pro to try out Veo2: you get 4 videos per day. By the time you figure out how prompts work you are done for today i.e. don't bother and find another service.

MS Teams Presence Logging for recon, social engineering and phishing campaign planning. Easily extendable with your own API or workflow to do pattern frequency analysis and find out when individuals or teams are e.g. in recurring meetings.

If you want to find the path of least resistance when it comes to security, threat modeling and intrusion testing: follow the attack path with hyperbolic language that is trying to overcompensate.

YouTube video by Andy Moore Zero Days [ STUXNET worm documentary, 2016]

With the on-going Internet and energy outages in Iran, I can only really think about the last 3 mins of the "Zero Days" documentary where the combined internal sources virtual person being interviewed stated that capabilities had already been deployed in Iran for 8+ years.

Why does the network backbone of Telegram matter?

Because as @pwnallthethings.bsky.social was pointing out in 2022 (www.pwnallthethings.com/i/86455222/t...), Telegram's in-house TLS replacement provides a cleartext permanent device ID!

The network can follow users across WiFis, data plans, etc.

Don't do this

Rest in Peace, Bill Atkinson.

Hard to overstate the massive influence Bill's work had over me, and the way we all use computers today.

From his work on the Macintosh, to HyperCard, Bill was a pioneer of merging art & technology.

My favorite glue-eating LLM is ChatGPT because it is so bad at coding, it just says "Yeah, you are right, I didn't finish that. Let me get you the full script and get back to you." where it just stops and does nothing 🙃

It seems that most the popular LLMs start going into infinite loops after a context of 2500 lines of code with heavy dependencies and then just... stop.

30 telecoms masts AND ~15 various electrical grid units have been sabotaged last months in south-east Sweden.

The sabotages are concentrated along highway E22, ie one of the main routes needed to reinforce Gotland in case of conflict. Ports are along this route, with the main one in the middle.

Turning Portal 2 into a webserver. What.

I have yet to see any details or examples, just headlines. Most tech including Chinese stuff comes with management interfaces exposed and with static passwords even. Where is the spy part.

If someone at AMD or Microsoft could solve the AMD fTPM stutter bug that would be great.

This was a fun trip down Internet memory lane

There's one question that stumps North Korean fake workers RSAC: FBI and others list how to spot NK infiltrators, but AI will make it harder

One way to tell if your new remote hire is a North Korean scammer is to ask how fat is Kim Jong Un www.theregister.com/2025/04/29/n...

TeleMessage suspends services after hackers claim breach The app was seemingly used by Mike Waltz in last week's cabinet meeting, according to a photograph published by Reuters.

NEW: TeleMessage, the Signal knockoff used by Mike Waltz and potentially other gov officials to archive group chats in plaintext, has suspended all services after it was hacked *at least twice.* @404media.co reported a hack last night; a different hacker also broke in and gave me evidence.

Sam Altman's World unveils a mobile verification device | TechCrunch Tools for Humanity, the startup behind the World human verification project, unveiled a mobile verification device and expanded to the US.

I genuinely don't know who needs to hear this — everyone, maybe? — but if a billionaire (or anyone, for that matter) offers to put your iris scans on the blockchain, run as fast and as far as you can.

This man shouldn't be let anywhere near an internet connection, let alone people's biometric data.

Microsoft announces new European digital commitments - Microsoft On the Issues As a multinational company, Microsoft believes in trans-Atlantic ties that promote mutual economic growth and prosperity.

Microsoft is clearly listening to concerns from European governments, who are suggesting companies should find alternatives to American AI and cloud solutions.

There is a fear the US government could pull the plug on systems that we rely on for almost everything we do.
