- Comment on Airport face scans could replace boarding passes and check-in as soon as 2028 2 days ago:
I remember those “raise your hands above your head so we can digitally strip you nude (we won’t touch ourselves, promise*)” scanners when they first came out. They were also going to replace an equally effective scan method that wasn’t privacy eroding. And, guess what? You can still opt out of those a couple decades later.
*Literally happened several times. It was on the news, and it was appalling.

- Comment on Microsoft accidentally removed Copilot in the latest Windows 11 update. 4 weeks ago:
A bug in the most recent Windows 11 update removes Copilot from systems entirely.
First bug I would actually call a feature. As opposed to their other bugs that they call features, but are actually bugs they don’t want to fix.

Ah. Thanks! I did miss it. Strange to focus the title on that, when the rest of the article is how this can be used as a medical marvel.

I didn’t understand (or maybe I missed it) from the article shy the title is called robot skin…
Cool discovery otherwise.

Hahahahahahah!!! It’s not. While others might, I would never do that to you.
It actually didn’t properly finish parsing , since there’s only so much it can handle, so it’s a partial image, but it is 100% SFW. Maybe I should have done a smaller image or across several Unicodes, but it gets the point across regardless.

It says…
Fortunately, sneaking in an executable, an image file, or an application extension isn’t possible.
Then says…
While the title refers to “arbitrary data,” users can hide whatever they want within Unicode characters, though this seems limited to text.
B64 is just text, and pretty much anything can be converted to B64. This can absolutely be used to exfil more than just text-only data (say, a db or media). Therefore, this isn’t the non-issue they make it out to be, and should be seen as what it is.

- Comment on China Wiretaps Americans in 'Worst Hack in Our Nation's History' 4 months ago:
“Unlike some of the European countries where you might have a single telco, our networks are a hodgepodge of old networks. […] The big networks are combinations of a whole series of acquisitions, and you have equipment out there that’s so old it’s unpatchable.”
… I’m very confused by their stupidity. If it’s “too old to patch”, than get a new one, just like everyone else has to do with aging computers and phones. Yeah, it’s expensive, but you can afford it.
