A former Tesla employee, who worked on their IT infrastructure, is posting in a subforum of a subforum, a little-known place for funy computer forgotten by time. His NDA has expired.
He has such sights to show us. Join me and I will be your silent guide into a world of horror.
(Last post by this user in the forum thread so far. Will add further posts to the Twitter thread.)
(Note: I didn't write any of this, and intentionally cropped out his username because I'm not sure he would want it being spread around on Twitter. All I did was take screenshots and make a thread.
buuuut, if you want to see the things I *do* do...)
as a reminder: this guy's a random poster on a Funny Computer Forum and I have absolutely no way of verifying whether all this is true of not, even though it's be hilarious if it is. Take it with a grain of salt.

"It has also been calculated that due to time dilation, the core of the Earth is 2.5 years younger than the crust." fuck this
"The uncertainty principle implies that individual photons may travel for short distances at speeds somewhat faster (or slower) than c, even in vacuum; this possibility must be taken into account when enumerating Feynman diagrams for a particle interaction." fuck this
"A 2008 quantum physics experiment also performed by Nicolas Gisin and his colleagues has determined that [...] the speed of the quantum non-local connection (what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance") is at least 10,000 times the speed of light." fuck this
i can't believe they made Neuraluke and put him in a production and his voice has exactly the unsettling stilted effect you get out of a Wavenet or whatever and they just decided it was fine
even from brief clips meant to show off the show, it is absolutely fuckin remarkable how much worse the CGI yoda child from book of boba fett looks compared to the puppet from the mandalorian. like they ripped yoda from a video game and de-aged him with faceapp
at this point in the used-car market explosion, if you own a nice older car, it'd probably be wise to fit it with a well-hidden GPS tracker
if you happen to have google fi, they'll send you data-only SIMs for one for free
you can also install a hidden ignition interlock switch so that the car won't start unless it's toggled, even if someone yanks the ignition lock and tries to hotwire it
...if you install Windows 11 with a local account instead of a Microsoft account, it still encrypts your drive with Bitlocker, but it keeps the key on the drive... in cleartext... until you sign in with a Microsoft account
This serves the dual purpose of making it difficult to recover your data, AND providing a false sense of security, since that Bitlocker key may well be compromised before you upload it to Microsoft
technical details: the VMK is the master key used for encrypting the FVEK, which actually encrypts the drive data. Usually the VMK is itself encrypted with a password, recovery password, smart card, etc, but in the case of Bitlocker suspension it's encrypted with a "clear key"
