@SarahMillican75 I’m from small-town NY (not NYC). A nice lady from the North of England visited our church the other day and I was like “what is it you guys always say? Oh, I know - LEGEND!”

Blank stare with “I don’t say that”. Need examples of how to use this term.

It's not often you find someone who's both strong in their technical discipline and also a brilliant writer. My fellow InfoSec colleague Rishoo is one of those rare examples though.

Truly fun read about detecting AI in writing:

@DiscoveryID In the show See No Evil, you use terms like ‘get the tapes’, ‘rewind, ‘fast-forward’, etc. but few people still use those words from the analog world when discussing digital video.

Like, you know the security cameras in the Police Departments themselves are capable of much higher quality than you guys show. Pixellating these is a cheesey post-production decision that disrespects the tech knowledge of much of your audience.

[Nick Looper @CablingOptional]

@DiscoveryID In the show See No Evil, why do you guys artificially degrade the quality of some of the security camera footage? It’s distracting, and reduces the integrity of the show. Some old cameras yield low quality video, but you guys pixellate footage of modern HD cams.

@DTWeetin (at least) one of the gray Delta-branded charging towers in the A17 seating area has loosey-goosey AC outlets; they have no grip on any charger - they just fall right out

@mrTeigen @Aaronia_AG @TheCiscoWireles Hey thanks for sharing - this is awesome!

@geoffwoods I learned some great tips on better utilizing AI in your presentation today! Your statement “asking ‘why are we doing this?’ is thinking like a machine” confused a lot of people though. Can you please expand on that?

Today was peak #enshittification for me:
-UHaul app hangs & crashes => 30 mins in cold
-McDonald’s app fails 10x, then orders food it said it couldn’t -CoinTracker points to Coinbase, which points back -TurboTax jumps back to earlier sections again & again
#idiocracy

@CoinTracker tells me to go to @coinbase to review my cost basis details, and as soon as I follow that link, Coinbase gives me a link to go back to CoinTracker. Glad I pay for CoinTracker Prime+. Crypto taxes are very confusing...

@ChristinaYLam Hey when will you be in Watkins Glenn next?

What are people thinking when they show PowerPoints while not in slideshow mode? This is so common and it drives me crazy!

[Nick Looper @CablingOptional]

@TracketPacer Okay that was amazing

[Nick Looper @CablingOptional]

@santiagoroel Do you guys have any products or services yet?

[Nick Looper @CablingOptional]

@TracketPacer ADHD brain is mush from full workday...but...I'm not getting it....

The accuracy!

[Nick Looper @CablingOptional]

@TracketPacer ngl, that’s still pretty epic

Re: AT&T reducing offload amounts on some hotspots, I’m wondering what the pattern is. My two are in quite busy (relative to my town) public areas, but ATT offload is much lower.

I imagine their own towers can handle more load just fine.

What are others seeing?
