More AI Slop... I drew two different characters. One who got married after dying of dysentery and another who was orphaned at the age of 34.

I would buy a BYD if the communist US government didn't ban them for being overly competitive. I rented one of these in Mexico last year and it was nice and affordable at 35k with the performance of a model S.

Every toll system is tied together with glue and is easily defeated by hiding your license plate, which also has the added benefit of making it more difficult to track your movement.

I guess this makes sense if you also consider the history of dog breeding. The best traits are always breed forward into future generations, those characteristics could be how athletic the dog is or how friendly the dog is.

Hiding your license plate will almost always be considered an offense, but is it one cops actively care about? Luckily in my state I vary rarely see cops on the road making my risk much lower. In the case of getting pulled over, its a $75 dollar fee in Colorado that I am happy to pay, it won't change my behavior.

You can also leave your cell phone at home. Disable anything broadcasting from your vehicle, like bluetooth, wifi, and onboard cell connectivity for telematics. Remove the RFID chips on your car rims (assuming you have a recent model vehicle). Remove TPM sensors from your wheels (A lot of them have part of your vehicle VIN in the packets). Tint your car windows... and remove anything that is unique, like stickers off your vehicle. Partially are completely block your license plate from being read by ALPR's.

Do all of those and you're not as trackable as you are not doing them today.

Then society should do something about the invasion of privacy happening everywhere. Take Flock camera systems in Colorado as an example, Colorado has been trying to limit access to ALPR data to only municipalities within the state for immigration related cases. The state has even went as far as creating a law. Loveland police department gave federal officials (ICE, DEA, ATF) access to states ALPR data, completely bypassing the law on the books. Data like this has been weaponized and if you can't see it, not sure how I can help you.

This is easily managed by hiding your license plates. I haven't shown my real license plate in years (It has a ping identity sticker on it) and no plans on doing so, it's to protect my own privacy.

All of that noise is K band and soon to be spread out across 77 ghz, outside of the bands being used by law enforcement (for now). If you take high velocity seriously, I recommend getting a Uniden R9 and a ALPriority Laser Jammer system. Then add in a dedicated android tablet running Highway Radar, you'll be a hard target to target. Also get a pair of binoculars (bonus points if they're thermal).

I haven't had a speeding ticket since 2018, before I had my tools. Just this week I was averaging 120 mph across Utah, turned my 11 hour trip into 8 hours.

More than likely

I was just looking at a new Hyundai today. Now I've got something more to consider if they aren't willing to stand behind securing their vehicles at their cost.

I tried Ollama once but immediately removed it, when I couldn't easily install models that are outside of the models they "support". LM Studio is by far the best tool out there in my humble opinion.

Very opinionated clickbait if you ask me.

It's been good using hashicorp tools, now IBM is going to run them to the ground. I need to look into the fork of tf now.

Colorado data privacy laws are a joke. The plebs are unable to take action against companies who violate their data privacy, only the Colorado Attorney General can do anything.

I've spent more time than I care working in data centers and can tell you that your job req is asking for one person to perform 3 different roles, maybe 4. I guarantee you're going to find a "jack of all trades" and a master of none unless you break them out into these jobs.

Good luck, hope you pay them well.

Magic links are a easy way to move the responsibility of security off to the user and remove the risk of managing access controls.

It's a regressive tax that will only be paid by poor people. Rich people will have ways around it.

I was told at a previous job I couldn't work from home but they expected me to take my laptop home with me just in case something happened. My response was I couldn't work from home and just left my laptop at work.

Companies should be forced to pay some sort of commute tax every time they force someone to come into an office. Driving an hour to the office and back home, in your car has an impact on everyone and everything around them, it's time they pay up.

Pager Duty gave me insomnia, it's not worth it. Tell your organization they can hire someone to work that shift.

Advertisements, marketing, "streamers" er I mean influencers, and monopolies.

Go add up all the time you've wasted, sitting in traffic or getting ready to go into the office, it'll sober you up quickly.

This explains why the aws sales engineer assigned to my account updated his linkedin last week to looking for new opportunities. He lives a few hundred miles in the middle of no where.

I was out at Defcon this year and it was all about AI this, AI that, AI will solve the worlds problems, AI will catch all threats, blah blah blah blah...

We need some laws that will prevent companies from outsourcing those positions for up to 36 months after laying off Americans.

I worked for SITA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SITA_(business_services_compan... )back in the late 2000's. They had a massive X25 serial network connecting airlines across the globe. Some of its customers were still running Windows 3.11 in the data center on old AT system. We would buy old computers on craigslist and ebay to keep hardware around for when it failed. I wouldn't be surprised if those systems are still in use today.

So they would rather flee like cowards instead of staying to fix the issues suffering their country. We don't need more cowards in America either.

NSA and FBI both approached previous bitlocker devs to insert backdoors in the early days. It's no secret Microsoft cooperates with federal government branches to ensure the government keeps using their products. Further because bitlocker is closed source, there hasn't been any outside research done on the code.

There's more resources on google and I remember attending a talk at either blackhat or defcon on why you shouldn't be using bitlocker.

Doesn't the government have a program named overwatch as well? Something in the air force cyber transport division...

Waiting that 12 months to really demonstrate you have a working security program with efficient controls really pays off. It's something I look for when doing vendor reviews and I assume others do the same.
