Strange how the history of the world has changed so dramatically, and perhaps the downward slope started with a seemingly humorous (at the time) lawsuit forcing Musk to buy Twitter… I wonder what state the world would be in now if this hadn’t have happened? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

When I first started reading this I though,t “is this really news, this issue has been around for years…” but then it gets interesting - kudos to the researchers on this one!
I’m excited to share our research on the “whoAMI” attack. We discovered that AWS customers pulling AMI IDs insecurely could accidentally use malicious images instead of the legitimate ones— leading to remote code execution.

PSA: shop around for insurance at *every* renewal!
Car insurance renewal received: up 50% from the best price I got last year. Spent about 30 mins looking, found a new provider that comes in at 10% less than last year's price (almost half of the renewal price from the current provider).
