My "Not flouting Grice's maxims" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

#C4News "Zack Polanski is now setting Labour policy"

BBC News, "Wes Streeting would like to see a wealth tax on investments.. Equalising the rates of capital gains and income tax"

Wes Streeting, "Generate £12 billion revenue"

Thanks @ZackPolanski let's see which other Green policies Labour will adopt next 😉

@MirandaTunnicl1 He shouldn’t have lied about it.

@sidahuj @threejs You could presumably give it only `execute_blender_code` and it would work the same. Still, love the idea!

[Mark Steward @marksteward]

@sidahuj @threejs Very cool demo, but it looks like you've just asked it to convert the cabin from the same conversation to ThreeJS? Your code doesn't (currently) support inspecting the scene in the way that would be needed to convert it.

@AntoniaRForster I don't have the brainpower to work out how the plugin does its magic, but once you have a workflow it's probably easy to automate calling that for lots of objects

[Mark Steward @marksteward]

@AntoniaRForster Assuming there aren't that many trees, you could use the Mesh Align Plus plugin. Pick a source mesh, duplicate linked (Alt+D), then Start Align Planes, click a different mesh and Align to Active. Then do the same with Match Edge Scale.

@hackerfantastic @patrickwardle Yeah, I saw the two hashes but there's been little else, and like surely there should be dozens of samples by now?

[Mark Steward @marksteward]

@hackerfantastic @patrickwardle For these samples, they all start with the same byte header. Are these all post-revert perhaps?

[Mark Steward @marksteward]

@patrickwardle Aha thanks! So none of these "channel update" .sys files are drivers, only CSAgent.sys is. So the claims that they don't load as drivers are unsurprising, and presumably the error could be deep in whatever custom format this is.

@vcsjones @ericlaw I think it comes from mathematics, but yeah hazmat is much clearer

@AntigoneJournal @rogueclassicist "From this ghastly list of assaults, we may conclude that it was a standard accusation levelled at kings, tyrants and rich celebrities" I'm sorry what?

@marxculture This could well be involved in the server going offline, but it doesn't tie in with the August 2021 date of initial access.

The SSH Agent vulnerability is an extremely good find and demonstration of combining multiple dubious behaviours into an exploit chain https://t.co/FebseWmdcb

@alexbloor The wild thing here is that the emergency services took what was presumably a good location and passed it on garbled

@zzznah this belongs in an art museum now!

@BalloonArchives @OVNI66 We've been playing with HYSPLIT which strongly suggests ~20km altitudes for both this and the Costa Rica balloon. So even bigger, 40m+

[Mark Steward @marksteward]

@BalloonArchives @OVNI66 The moon's about 4.2 times the size of the balloon in that video. If I've got it right, that would make it ~30m diameter at 14km, which seems feasible.
