Access points frequently have multiple BSSIDs even if just for broadcasting on 2.4 and 5 at the same time. Any multiple AP scenario will have them regardless. Couple that with weak duplicate MAC checking and shared GTK (WPA2-PSK) and the at

If you are trying to keep your secret accounts secret then you don’t want them to have your writing style. By having a LLM author each post you help eliminate that as a metric. Couple that with the usual opsec of posting via tor at random t

Despite blocking 66 TLDs and all IDN ccTLDs on my home dns I didn’t have these blocked. Guess I’ll consider it. Once you have the hagezi rpz files including threat information feed though you really have blocked most silliness.

I had one in grade school. Taught me the value of backups early in life. Spent all night typing in a game from a magazine. Started it without saving to tape first. It was so loud! Panicked and restarted the machine. Sadness ensued. Replaced

I go out of my way to use American services. It would be hypocritical of me to deny others the right to use their country’s services. Plus competition is always better for consumers so have at it.

IBM has practiced ageism for decades with the same playbook. AI is just the latest excuse. Fire a wide enough swath so it isn’t all old employees and then only hire entry level positions. Often within the same year. Repeat.

I agree, being able to transcribe low quality audio would be an amazing new feature. What I was disputing was the notion that even an old iPhone is incapable of capturing crystal clear audio from an entire room while in your pocket. It has

I have a child who had an individualized education program due to a disability. I recorded many meetings with an iPhone in my front pocket while sitting. Crystal clear audio every time. The new tech is likely just for noisy environments and

I’ve been a Kagi subscriber for a while now. Recently picked up ChatGPT Business and now am considering dropping Kagi since I am only using it for trivial searches. Every comparison I’ve done with deep searches by hand and with AI ended up

An equally valid headline is "Investors purchased $8B of US Treasury Bonds". Never really got the point of people announcing US Treasury sales like its a big thing. Someone else not thinking with their emotions can, and will buy t

I will never buy a wired headphone again for the remainder of my life. Judging from shelf space in stores I am far from alone.

You block inbound to block inbound. Of course it doesn’t do anything for outbound. Acting like you can just turn inbound filtering off because of that is disingenuous.

My problem with Chase and PNC is that their "fraud detection" seems to be random die rolls or monkeys throwing darts at my picture on a wall. I love the 5 minutes of anxiety after each and every purchase where I wonder if it will
