We already know that Israeli cyber company has spyware called pegasus, that can 0-click attacks to ios and Android. It is one time hack, and it is removed on boot. They sell it as service. This is why cyber security centers recommend boot once a day.

I think in Europe we fill the same spot with kebab and döner restaurants as Americans do with Mexican restaurants.

I really don’t mind that they hide the button to enable installs from .APK when they are being directly downloaded. It has been in my opinion very bad idea from the beginning that it shows that, it has enabled multiple malwares in android. Non-technical people should not have easy way to install things, even with big warnings, because people ignore warnings.

If google removes the ability to install non-store apps all together, then that day I will stop using Android.

Business & Industry uses over 75% of electricity in Ireland. Residential energy usage really is not that much, in any country in the world.

Same with CO2, almost all of it is created by industries.

CrowdStrike Falcon is XDR product, there is hundreds of similar products available.

The role of XDR is to detect and block if some bad actor is trying to do something malicious in the machine. Old school virus signature detection is not enough anymore, you need pattern detection from network communication/DNS queries etc.

When corporation has thousands of devices to monitor the OS each of those devices Is not relevant. You need to detect if some random user logs to some Linux info display thousand kilometers away, and starts scanning the network.

Because the detection and response, needs to happen near realtime, for example Incase of cryptolockers, where all devices are encrypted within seconds, the software blocking this needs kernel level access.

I work in critical infrastructure as IT, but luckily we did not use falcon

Issue is not just on servers, but endpoints also. Servers are something that you can relatively easily fix, because they are either virtualized or physically in same location.

But endpoints you might have thousand physical locations, and IT need to visit all of them (POS, info/commercial displays, IoT sensors etc.).

There is nothing unsafer than local networks.

AV/XDR is not optional even in offline networks. If you don’t have visibility on your network, you are totally screwed.

This is AV, and even possible that it is part of definitions (for example some windows file deleted as false positive). You update those daily.

“googling answers”, I feel personally violated.

/s

To be fare, there is not reason to memorize things that you need once or twice. Google is tool, and good for Linux issues. Why debug some issue for few hours, if you can Google resolution in minutes.

There is no unsafer place than isolated network. AV and xdr is not optional in industry/healthcare etc.

There are two different ways how this can be implemented. Either data in Google Drive is being used as training material or Gemini is reading the drive data on users request as part of the prompt and not being used as training data.

Second one is way different, because it does not expose the data to third party. Copilot has been doing this for a year now.

I assume that is the second way

The best implementation of this that I have seen has been Frends Integration platform (https://frends.com). We use it at work, and have implemented ~500 business and integration processes with it.

This kind of visual programming works well in close to business logic implementations, were it is important to be able to quickly understand the business need behind the process.

How Frends work on the background, it compiles the visual process to C# code, so it is actually quite fast. Many solutions interpreters the process flow while executing, which makes them much slower.

My background is in normal code development, and I still think that there is a place for that. I have always hated having the raw business process in code, because those tend to change, and reimplementing code because process changes, is always really annoying.

Hmm windows 11 doesn’t anymore contain IE? It is one of the challenges for some legacy “IE only” enterprise Web apps, and causing migration issues.

No one definaly should not be using those apps anymore, but world is full of crazy legacy code that orgs don’t have will to fix them.

No, it was about the prediction engines that contain security vulnerabilities. Problem is that software has no control over that, because hardware does future predictions for performance optimization.

Silver Fang, and from that you can identify my age and country.

Here is response from GPT4o:

Based on the image you provided, here’s a breakdown to determine if each picture is lasagne or a Doom level:

1. Top left: Lasagne - You can see the pasta and sauce.
2. Top right: Lasagne - The clear layers of pasta and meat sauce are visible.
3. Second row, left: Doom level - The landscape and structures resemble a game environment.
4. Second row, right: Lasagne - Melting cheese and sauce.
5. Third row, left: Lasagne - Close-up of pasta and sauce.
6. Third row, right: Doom level - The structures and background are game-like.
7. Bottom row, left: Doom level - Characters and action scene from the game.
8. Bottom row, right: Lasagne - Close-up of cheese and sauce.

So, the identification from top left to bottom right is: Lasagne, Lasagne, Doom level, Lasagne, Lasagne, Doom level, Doom level, Lasagne.

This is just a scam, right? They are reselling Microsoft’s patches, and just assuming that MS is going to 0-day patch win10 to all customers even if they haven’t paid for the extended support.

Pisa is bad too, it is just the tower and crazy tourist prices.

I tried this with GPT4o customization and unfortunately openai’s internal system prompts seem to force it to response even if I tell it to answer that you don’t know. Would need to test this on azure open ai etc. were you have bit more control.

Yes, just flip binary directly to the cpu
