I am sure that Jim Jordan will be launching an investigation into Elon Musk's suppression of this leak about someone close to a presidential campaign this close to an election. Right? Or did that only apply to the Hunter Biden laptop?

Kamala Harris released a detailed, 82-page policy paper yesterday (link below) that outlines exactly how she plans to lower costs and create an opportunity economy.

The media won’t cover this, so it would be great if you could share!!

US Corruption 

@SteveBellovin @mattblaze
if they can not remember a phone password, how can you expect them to track the things for which they have been bribed?

Eric Adams got free "gifts" of luxury commercial flights and fancy hotel stays, totaling in the six figures -- and he just got indicted by the Feds.

Clarence Thomas got free "gifts" of PRIVATE JET and YACHT trips, totaling over $4,000,000 -- and NOTHING is happening to him.

TL;DR: A new FTC report reveals extensive commercial surveillance practices by major tech companies, indicating a significant invasion of consumer privacy. The findings call for urgent legislative action to address the lack of safeguards against data exploitation in the online advertising industry. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/09/ftc- #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

When you build vehicles with remote functionality, you get security and privacy problems like this. For the love of God, please stop building cars with the ability to lock/unlock, stop/start the engine from an app or a website.

Talk about a grotesque invasion of privacy:

"Smart TVs from Samsung and LG take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console"

newscientist.com/article/24491

How can this possibly be legal?

Here's why: Congress isn't just indifferent to your privacy. It is actively complicit with big corporations -- and law enforcement -- in embedding surveillance into everything we do.

If you generate a lot of fresh Let's Encrypt certificates today, and don't enable auto-renewal, they will expire on December 25th, giving you a good excuse to leave your family dinner early.

Thank you so much Haroon & Thinks for your Canary Tokens. I created this token a couple of months ago for our Entra Login without an expectation of if or when it might trigger or how it would look if it did trigger.

Well it triggered this morning an email to our service desk, the result of this alert was within 30 minutes we'd completed our investigation revoked all the sessions MFA tokens etc disabled the account identified the source email and removed it from mailboxes.

Without this token we'd have been blissfully unaware. Once again thank you!

An interesting wrinkle is that this particular defendant was homeless and so he could only get on the internet by going to, say, the nearby grocery store (where he was arrested). And understandably he didn't leave his laptop unattended at his outdoor campsite; he took it with him. What does Stanley v. Georgia, the right to private possession of obscenity inside one's home, mean for those who don't have one?

The quality of corruption in NYC today is just a sad, hollow shell of the proud heritage that brought us Tammany Hall and Jimmy Walker.

@PacificNic On a related, interesting note: 10 minutes.

That is the tipping point for mass transit.

When transit turns up at least that often, that’s when people stop checking schedules and just assume “it’s always there” - ie, when it feels like it has the same availability as a personal car.

It’s definitely something to watch/push for.
