@UK_Daniel_Card We don't enforce password rotation, but enforce stronger passwords plus MFA and disallow re-use.

@BladeoftheS He's getting nno cash from me, too many bugs and the pornbots are a pain.

@joncoopertweets The boat - it should be fixable.

[Chris King @ChrisWithTheBat]

@BladeoftheS So thick, he can't even control his own sock puppets...

@LisaForteUK If you can see this, I don't need to do Marcel Marceau "Bip the Clown" impressions?

[Chris King @ChrisWithTheBat]

@infosec_fox @cybersecstu Yeah, I'm seeing more randome nutters too.

Now is it just me, or Are AI enhancements being used as an excuse to refresh older hardware, rather than produce new models?

[Chris King @ChrisWithTheBat]

@LisaForteUK I'd hope someone sensible would patent it and sit on it, to stop these idiots playing Big Brother just to make a dime.

@implausibleblog @carolvorders (I just reminded myself how long ago that was... EEK!)

[Chris King @ChrisWithTheBat]

@implausibleblog @carolvorders Me too - I remember solving the maths questions while eating my tea, and my folks muttering "bloody smartarse!" as I came up with the same answers as Carol almost simultaneously.

@GlennPegden @UKLabour Now we're seeing an uptick in applications for Pension Credit, so that "saving" will be taken up by pensioners who qualify, PLUS all the extra benefits it qualifies them for.

Not so much short-sighted, more positively myopic...

@LisaForteUK Stupid gut actually got one right for once!

@UK_Daniel_Card WTAF? Can;t tell if serious or deluded...

@UK_Daniel_Card @vxunderground If you've ever tried to keep the lid on a TLP RED, you'll know how hard it is to simultaneously keep secrets while trying to stop your local user population from lynching you because services are down...

[Chris King @ChrisWithTheBat]

@UK_Daniel_Card @vxunderground Also, the fact that TfL can report on it publicly suggests that NCSC did not classify this as a serious risk. If this had been classed as TLP (Traffic Light Protocol) RED, it could only be discussed by named individuals.

@BladeoftheS A little boy whose parents should have said "NO!" to him more often.

@LisaForteUK Sure you want to swap? The rain was absolutely biblical this side of the Bridge last night!

@Luiseach Almost run over by Captain Sensible at Alton Towers...
