Yeah no I'm sorry I just don't believe a high ranking CIA officer lives in a building near DC with frosted glass doors that have no peephole and no camera at the door lol nope

My gripes about fiction are weird, aren't they?

@netflix #messiah

I *do* however completely believe the boxes everywhere, sitting on the floor, and nothing on the walls because that is literally every tech person I know lmao

@2600

Look I realize I'm watching a complete work of fiction and am suspending disbelief about a supposed messiah from a supposed god but anyone who knows anything about North American telephone systems knows you only dial 10 digits to call Canada @2600 #NANP

011 is only used for destinations outside of NANP i.e. If you dial 011-12 from a NANP country like Canada, Mexico, US, you would be one digit from calling a Caribbean nation or territory!

tl;dr This is an international “555” prefix :)

See? Peepholes are pretty standard, even in shitty apartments and motels!
From the same show lol

Well, I was only able to play it for a half day or so before it started crashing (and it was late and I didn't feel like troubleshooting)
but Watchdogs 3 aka Legion is gorgeous - they captured London well.

So, you start by building a whole team with different skills. /

I did Campaign mode. Police drones are a HUGE pain in the ass in this game omg they are everywhere, watching with facial recognition, etc AND they can shoot... A terrifying future indeed. /

Some cars on the road are empty (self-driving) and when you get in, cars have an “auto-drive mode” which stays in a lane and makes turns for you if you're in a turning lane. It follows speed limits and drives on the correct side of the road lol. Virtual Tesla, no GPS /

Dearest gamers, hackers, InfoSec, STEM: If you get the opportunity to enter “alternate text” for images on a post, PLEASE take the extra *less-than-a-minute* to type out the alt text to make it accessible to more people!❤️

Also, Twitter API developers: Definitely implement “alternate text” in your non-native apps!!!

Also, ALL DEVELOPERS: Definitely implement “alternate text” for images in your UX!!!

IMG ALT used to be standard in HTML back when we were browsing in Lynx, so surely it can't be that hard with social media!

@iamjohnoliver @LastWeekTonight Dear John,

1) Hi ♥️ I adore you

2) We wish to correct your statements in the @LastWeekTonight ransomware ep:

Some hackers are criminals
Some criminals are hackers

Not all hackers are criminals
Not all criminals are hackers

You use the terms interchangeably/incorrectly

@iamjohnoliver

@iamjohnoliver @LastWeekTonight You literally demonstrate this by talking about how people do not need any skill to implement ransomware

Hackers have skill. Hackers have creativity and curiosity. Hackers are not all bad people. Many/most of us want to make the world BETTER

You are using ‘hackers’ as a slur

@iamjohnoliver

@iamjohnoliver @LastWeekTonight And further, phrases like “white hat hackers” and “black hat hackers” are rooted in racism, inaccurate, and out of date

The media uses phrases mistakenly as interchangeable far too often, and we are trying to fix that.

We are not criminals. We are not attackers. We are hackers.
