Lots of people tweeting that Crave has gone down in the middle of #HOTD – Meanwhile, no response from @CraveCanada, which seems to be tweeting spoilers for the episode that is no longer livestreaming.

Scary that #Lastpass was #hacked and source code stolen. Now hackers have a leg up finding 0-day vulns in their code. This raises systemic risk for all of us. What products are affected? We need more details. #cybersecurity trends #databreach https://t.co/94jS4hJofg

I love this idea.

THE PROBLEM WITH GOVT HACKING IS STUFF LIKE BREAKING ENCRYPTION AND NOT DISCLOSING ZERO-DAYS WEAKENS COMPUTER SECURITY FOR REGULAR PEOPLE AND LEGIT ORGS/COMPANIES BECAUSE COMPUTERS CAN'T TELL IF "GOOD GUYS" OR "BAD GUYS" ARE DOING THE HACKING IN FACT GOVT ORGS CAN BE VICTIMS OF

Seriously computer-makers/builders: stop putting HDDs into new systems. It's 2022.

[Jesse Schooff @jesseschooff]

From now on, when someone asks me why their new/new-ish computer is running so slow, and I find that it was sold with a spinning hard drive, hamstringing the entire system, I am just going to flat out tell them that they were scammed by the system builder. Because it's the truth.

The perfect soundtrack for reading the #RogersOutage apology spam that's arriving in our inboxes this morning.

When @RogersHelps executive, Kye Prigg is prompted by @VassyKapelos on the Rogers-Shaw merger and the degree to which the telecoms industry is monopolized by private corporations in Canada, Rogers' lawyer steps in and abruptly ends the interview:

Right after I took this photo a Canpar driver tried in vain to get the enterphone to do something, anything. He had to walk back to his truck with the undelivered package.

[Jesse Schooff @jesseschooff]

Another side effect of the #RogersOutage: this building’s dead enterphone and the pile of non-delivery notices.

Between non-functioning enterphones and cellphones I bet carriers have a LOT of backed-up packages today.

[Jesse Schooff @jesseschooff]

I'm glad that the people who are using the #RogersOutage hashtag to tell people to "go unplug and read a book" haven't had to call 911 in a place where service isn't working, or get back into the country using ArriveCan, or remote work at a critical job, or pay using debit, or...

[Jesse Schooff @jesseschooff]

The #RogersOutage shows that we don't take our info/telecom infrastructure seriously enough. We really need to.

[Jesse Schooff @jesseschooff]

Ah yes. It's good to see them taking responsib... oh wait, my bad, this is from *checks notes* last year's #RogersOutage

Good news for Rogers is that they can just copy/paste the same response and then get on with that merger that will make all our lives better. 🙃
