Driving Zodiac, Point Wild, Elephant Island, made famous by the Shackleton’s disastrous #Antarctica ‘Endurance’ expedition. Nice to be back here.

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.

Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.

Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.

then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.

This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Ai will completely destroy the existing internet and every institution on earth will be forced to decouple from it to avoid being hacked.

we’ll spend billions going back to analog everything and eventually have to start over on the internet 2.

Last #NZ election, 450,000 of the special votes cast were by those who enrolled in the 2 weeks before the election. 110,000 enrolled on the day. This is the scale of the potential disenfranchisement of the Govt law change stopping enrolment on 25 October:

@hottriggered Yes, a decrowning of the crown, a destarring of the star gears and a de-carrying of the cracked carrier FFS. Not much fun setting these back up

How’s your day going?

[Rob Suisted, Pro-Photographer, NZ @RobSuisted]

@simon_pleasants Yes. Lots of cost getting parts and then lots of work dialing in the tolerances with shims to set the backlash and wear patterns on the pinion. Not happy.

[Rob Suisted, Pro-Photographer, NZ @RobSuisted]

@AlTaylorNZ Yip! Rack and pinion buggered. And also the carrier and star gears blown apart too. Bloody expensive but also a huge amount of work lashing and shimming to correct tolerances. Sigh.

@RaymondaFrancis Oh wow. What era was that?

[Rob Suisted, Pro-Photographer, NZ @RobSuisted]

Really excited. New book about Samuel Coates, who helped build Goodwood Stables in North Otago for my Swedish ancestor Charles Suisted 1849. Says Charles was one of the 1st to introduce large scale farming to NZ, who would’ve thought that would catch on. Those stables are 2nd …

I don't really get all the fuss over politicians visiting gangs. They are voters. It's not illegal. And no, I'm not a fan of gangs.

Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.

They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.

Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.
