Cake and a new book, looking forward to this afternoon Jessica Barker MBE

Wow Netflix UK & Ireland - that’s a jump. Currently it’s £8 a month, now it’s jumping to £11 a month or forcing Ads on me. That’s a 37.5% price increase.

It took me many years to get password policies changed in every org and the changes were made around this premise. Stop enforcing complexity, length and patterns and just prevent common themes

Electrical people, please help settle an argument over how long a car battery could power a gaming console for: Console uses 210W and needs 110v, battery is 12v@55ah capacity(660W?) Battery CCA is 440, with a step up transformer can the battery power the console for 3 hours?

We still do staged updates for our operating systems, small batches to confirm there are no issues before we push out globally. Is anyone doing the same for every other app on their machines? Today showed you need to be.

I downloaded my Amazon Music data to try to figure out what song I was listening to, and included in the data is the amount of times they've tried to upsell me something recently. A paid service tried to sell me something over 500 times in the last few months...

Fancy retrieving plaintext user credentials, deactivation passcodes and uninstall passwords for Palo Alto Global Protect VPN? Thank goodness Palo Alto make that easy for you ... Full write up here : shells.systems/extracting-pla… Tooling available here : github.com/t3hbb/PanGP_Ex…

Train tickets booked - see you all BSides London next weekend!

Hey LG UK Your recent firmware upgrade for the G1 TV just broke ARC support, and with no firmware downgrade permitted I now have no sound. Perhaps having a rollback feature or even a downgrade feature might not make for salty users..

Spot on. Anyone that says ‘security isn’t hard’ has never had to deal with pre-existing conditions

Got a new gym bag for Valentine’s Day. This is going to amuse me for months. #wehackhealth
