This week's video is about a timely issue: How sure are YOU that your friends' and relatives' browsers are properly locked down? Recent changes to Chrome resulted in uBlock Origin no longer working for many users, and they may not realize it. See what happened to someone I know...
I'm still on my kick of playing with tracker technology for luggage and more, and a question as arisen: I often get messages about "unknown Air Tag traveling with you" because all of the ones I'm using belong to Tarah or Emily or someone else other than me. Let's say you *do* get a message like that, what steps would you take to locate such an Air Tag? With a suitcase it's pretty straightforward, but what about a motorcycle or a car? You can't reasonably tear the entire thing apart. I would think that the Apple's ultrawideband technology would be used in getting that pinpoint localization of the tag, but is that available to people other than the tag's current owner or authorized parties? Can a "stranger" ping a nearby Air Tag and fix its position discretely with their own iPhone? If they can't what's the alternative? An SDR with a very specific directional antenna?
Liven up the group chats you're in by posting any or all of these images along with some bullshit bombastic emojis like πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ€œπŸ€›πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ§™β€β™‚οΈπŸ₯΅πŸ†πŸ’¦ then abruptly delete it all about 15 minutes later, saying something like "Wait, shit, is this the chat WITH reporters or WITHOUT reporters??"
Many of you know that the administration is trying a lot of fuckery with US Passports and gender markers right now. They violated the Administrative Procedure Act by doing this without a comment period. Right now, they are trying to cure the APA violation by having an after-the-fact comment period... ... you can go there RIGHT NOW and make your voice heard. The comments currently are overwhelmingly negative, opposing the administration's bigoted and harmful rule changes. If you can, please go add your voice. You may think it will make no difference, but the courts can and will look at all of this. Your comment RIGHT NOW opposing passport sex marker nonsense can make you a part of yet another inevitable Trump loss in the court systems soon. image
I'm sure we'll all talk more about this on Monday when we're at our desks and reading it more thoroughly, but the latest court documents in the Hadnagy vs @npub1dqdh...8xy4 matter are public and, boy, are they a wild read... https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68094183/hadnagy-v-moss/?order_by=desc 🧡 image
I was asked recently during a training class what this cool little punch that I was using was called. Known as a corner cutter or a corner rounder, they are easy to find, super cheap, and I absolutely adore having one on hand for various purposes... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGWObO4yuGR/
In response to a recent DM where it was pointed out to me that the Transgender Offender Manual is one of the zillions of documents being scrubbed from the internet by the new fascist regime, I've put up my archived copy of what used to be that BOP policy...
