You don’t have to call it “martial law” when you can call it something cuter like “the insurrection act”. 🫠

I see so much gaslighting of people who are struggling to find jobs at junior and mid-level cybersecurity by folks who got their last job or first job before 2023. It's unreal and uncalled for. The market and the automation in the hiring processes have gone to hell. www.reddit.com/r/SecurityCa...

I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

I have a Steam Deck and love it! It’s made me second guess my Windows gaming experience. I, however, play some competitive games that don’t have Linux compatibility for online play 😞

My mom just brought over a toy for my son that she’s had at her house since my niece and nephew were toddlers (they’re 8 and 11 now). It needed new batteries so I popped it open and found these inside. What a nostalgia trip!

I think more often now they just defer to whatever local law is but American values etc is what they used to pretend to care about

this is the kind of thing that when foreign governments do it, tech companies used to refuse and say they were standing up for the values of free speech

Gov. Newsom should push for a law stating that while the federal government is shut down and the president refuses to allocate funding to Democratic states, all state taxes remain within the state to support its residents.

I doubt that ANY org would do the trainings if it wasn’t part of the eligibility requirement for having cybersecurity insurance. Although, I can’t imagine that the DoD needs cyber insurance. The taxpayer is their insurance policy.

“Information could be encoded in the magnetic state of a molecule and then accessed with light at wavelengths compatible with well-developed technologies underlying optical fiber networks and silicon photonic circuits."

This is one of the wildest things i've ever heard. The future is now.
