Totally unnatural work flow. The gentleman in this video clearly has no idea how the elderly (as he references, "Grandma") use technology.
Here is a more realistic approach.
1. Grandma notices font is too small. She has a difficult time seeing and/or reading the text.
2. Grandma incorrectly asserts Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook (now Meta) has developed this computer and blames him for defaulting to such small font. "Ugh, that idiot Zuckerforge* makes the text too damn small. Nobody can see this!"
3. Grandma picks up the laptop and places the camera directly up to her mouth and says, "Alexis, make the font big". When nothing happens she raises her voice, "ALEXIS, MAKE THE FONT BIG". Alexis doesn't respond.
4. Grandma, becoming increasing frustrated, remembers that Alexis is for Amazon, not Microsoft, so she corrects herself. "Siri, make the font big, please". She anxiously waits for a reply but nothing happens again. "SIRI MAKE THE FONT BIG". Siri ignores her pleas.
5. Grandma, exhausting all options, decides to call her children and/or grandchildren for assistance. The conversation begins discussing technology but quickly derails into something else such as the weather, sports, trivia, or (most likely) family gossip.
6. Grandma concludes her troubleshooting by calling Mark Zuckerforge a "stupid Italian" (she falsely believes he's Italian) and decides to stop using the device. Grandma is deeply prejudice to Italians because of an argument she got into with an Italian couple in 1973
I have never interacted with a single person amongst the sea of my 400,000 followers who has said, "I would like Windows to be agentic, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity"
Most say, "I would like my computer to be a computer, please stop"
Found a critical security vulnerability in our network that allows unauthorized access to sensitive company data, requires no advanced hacking skills, and is exploited daily by dozens of internal actors.
It completely bypasses our million-dollar firewall, renders all MFA solutions useless, and often involves clicking on a link.
We've spent countless hours and thousands of dollars running training sessions to counter it.
The name of the unstoppable exploit?
A user's immediate and total inability to read the giant red warning message.
Agreed.
An interview is designed to determine if a candidate is an ideal fit for the company. Likewise, the candidate can determine if the company is a good fit for them.
If I discovered my potential employer was a sociopath with a pre-1940s perception on employment, I would politely decline any offers and move on.
Employment is a two way road. You compensate someone for the services they provide (working for you). Work is not my life. Work, and my coworkers, are not my "friends" or "family".
📢 As of today, October 14 2025, Windows 10 has officially reached end-of-life.
We recommend that users enroll in extended security updates (ESU) or upgrade to Windows 11 ASAP to receive the latest security patches.

I don't know who is doing cybersecurity stuff at Discord, but I want you nerds to know I see you.
Let the bosses know you're cooking and you did a good job for the tough spot you're in. I'm sorry it happened to you nerds, shit sucks. But tell the bosses you need a raise because an Insider Threat is tough.
Discord cybersecurity team gets +1 cat pictures
I want to give a shout out to Discord.
As much as their helpdesk compromise has been awful for users, Discord has in fact told the truth and done everything by the book on how to handle a compromise (much to the dismay of users).
Discord stated they believed roughly 70,000 photos from individuals had been exfiltrated (government issued identification). The Threat Actor asserted 2,100,000+. However, the Threat Actor retracted the statement and said they had roughly 71,000 drivers licenses and/or passports. Hence, Discords DFIR (Digital Forensic and Incident Response) team was correct.
Discord asserted the compromise was third party. That was correct.
They stated it was customer service related. That is also correct. Discord did not lie about the scope.
Discord notified customers in a transparent manner, despite knowing it would receive negative attention.
Discord was open about their believed compromise time dateline based on information the Threat Actors had shared.
In essence, everything Discord has said has been (based on what I've seen) factually accurate.
Discord also (as much as users hated) complied with government regulations. They did indeed do ID verification manually if it was required. You can criticize Discord for doing age verification, but they're complying with government law.
There's a lot you can criticize about Discord, or dislike about Discord, but as far as handling a compromise, they did it by the book and correctly. Their security measures were in place, but combating an Insider Threat is notoriously difficult. They exist everywhere.
As a final note, Discord has also done something which is controversial, but they have not complied with the Threat Actors. Many companie will succumb to pressure, but Discord has not. Many DFIR firms insist companies DO NOT pay ransoms because it encourages criminal extortion groups. Based on the posts from the Threat Actor(s), Discord has not paid them and is not complying.
tldr Discord handled it well
What the fuck is going on in the United Kingdom? They've got advertisements unironically saying WiFi is bad for the environment.
Who are these people???
The United Kingdom government says it needs to utilize "Facial Recognition" vans and the "Online Safety Act" to protect you and your children from criminals and dangerous things online.
Meanwhile, the government suggests deleting e-mails to save water.
Actual fucking morons
People aren't seeing the full picture here.
1. Obviously kids shouldn't watch pornography.
2. Forcing companies to do KYC is terrible. It's a disaster in the making
3. This is a bad policy. The government isn't your babysitter
4. You can't trust the government
I'm on the side of wanting to keep the country and society safe. The Online Safety Act is frankly broken.
Calling people that oppose you predators is as ridiculous as the idea kids can't bypass the restrictions imposed by the OSA.
Delusional.
Saw some posts today about "Cyber Mayonnaise" and discussions on why I filled a computer with mayonnaise.
Because dozens upon dozens of people have very sincerely asked "Why?" I'll explain.
I saw people online discussing building their own computer and people seeking advice for first time computer builders. Some of the questions people asked about thermal paste seemed kind of silly, but they were noobs — we've all been there.
Anyway, I imagined this absurd scenario where someone who is a noob doesn't understand thermal paste is an actual product and instead they decided to place mayonnaise on the CPU. I kept discussing the absurdity of the situation with some friends. Eventually, I decided to act upon this absurd scenario and do it myself as a joke. I also included some family members into the gag because everyone likes destroying stuff.
Anyway, the idea of applying mayonnaise as thermal paste is absurd. But, as time progressed, this absurdist idea became even more hyberbolic and it evolved into:
"What if someone was a noob... and thought to cool the computer they had to fill the computer with thermal paste, but they didn't know it was an actual product so instead they fill the computer with mayonnaise?"
Then I did it... just because of the absolute absurdity of it. There is no real rhyme or reason — just a really silly idea.
In summary: doing computer stuff is supposed to be fun. I like malware stuff because I think it's fun. I thought doing this stupid mayonnaise thing would be fun (it was). Its clear many of you understood the absurdism behind and rolled with the joke. My family has a lot of fun doing it too. We traveled to a really sketchy pawn shop, loaded up a shopping cart with mayonnaise, and used lots of self-deprecating humor.
tl;dr if youre not having fun on the internet wtf r u doing
