@anton_chuvakin "good luck with that"?

[Andrew Waite - BS: @Infosanity.co.uk @Infosanity]

Pro-tip: avoid @G2A_com at all costs. @Steam_Support game keys revoked by seller (after 18m) claiming "refund".
absolutely no warranty, support or avenue to appeal, just "nope, no game, please speak to seller".

alternatively, if anyone is in the avenue for a new scam to run...

Call me cynical; but is that how it happened?

Or did someone at OpenAI point a system at a rival, get too successful/caught, and the excuse is getting spun into marketing?

Definitely sat with the popcorn awaiting more actual details

We're partnering with @huggingface to investigate an unprecedented security incident.

Cyber-capable OpenAI models compromised Hugging Face production during a benchmark evaluation.

If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.

Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.

Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.

Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:

• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.

• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.

• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.

• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.

• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.

• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.

• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.

• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.

• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.

• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.

• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.

• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.

• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.

• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.

• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.

• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.

• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.

• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.

• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.

• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.

• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.

• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.

• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.

• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.

People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.

@DurhamPolice are going to struggle to keep knives off of the streets if @DHLGlobal continue to ship age restricted goods requiring signature and just push through the letterbox, without requiring an actual signature.

@heynavtoor @oncee That’s about the worst take on Burp’ value proposition I’ve seen. There’s a reason why years after Hetty’ release Burp is still the industry standard, and quite possibly the industry’s best TCO ROI of InfoSec tooling *including* free OSS offerings (& I say that as an OSS 1st guy)

@rawsalerts ….raising serious concerns about a companies DR strategy, RBAC controls and isolation of capabilities. Why can a dev (AI agent, meatspace or otherwise) delete all backups?. If Claude can do it, so could a user.

@Snoman_here @_InfoGram_ It’s cute that you still think Trump is anyone’s partner

[Andrew Waite - BS: @Infosanity.co.uk @Infosanity]

it's an impressive skill that @RoyalMail manage to be nightmarishly incompetent to deal with every interaction

Enabling Keepsafe (£25 to *not* deliver your mail whilst elsewhere) took 3 separate payment attempts across multiple payment processors, each failing with no error msg

Dear @Ancestry (and everyone else), I f'ing hate services that only offer a competitive price when you cancel.

Protip to everyone right now, if you're an Ancestry user, hit that cancel button, then select a new cheaper price. Would take <20seconds.

One for @MartinSLewis?

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

@KiMcGuinness Make safe, and reopen Brasside viaduct to connect and open up more walking routes for visitors to easily explore some of the regions more hidden gems like Kepier woods, Finchale Abbey and the new Frankland(ish) woodlands that not even locals can currently find or easily access

[Glenn Tunes @glenn_tunes]

A Norwegian journalist spoke to several people on Greenland and they all say the same thing, They have lost sleep at night and the children are terrified that they will be attacked by American soldiers while they are sleeping 💔America has an enormous responsibility to stop this madness🤬 America has to stop the Trump administration and prevent a global war where everyone is a loses 🤬but especially Americans themselves🤷 WAKE UP AMERICA AND DO THE RIGHT THING 🤷

Elon Musk promised a lot of things by 2025

- colonists arriving on Mars
- xAI achieving AGI
- Tesla robotaxis serving half the U.S.
- completely driverless robotaxis
- a Tesla Roadster demo
- DOGE cutting trillions

none of them happened
