Mostly Security

Graduation and Spring Cleaning. Solar Power systems on the internet. Oregon bans the sale of user's (precise) location data. IRS Direct File both in limbo and on GitHub. A Japanese company sets itself up for "third times a charm" landing on the moon and a brain-computer interface is tested on humans.

Springtime work and bathroom 'renovations'. Why prompts are the new IOCs and a tool to detect malicious prompts, a guilty plea in the PowerSchool breach from last year, and sanctions against a Philippines based company involved in pig butchering scams.

Eric solves a printing problem with money, Jon follows a band and gardens. Google uses ART to attack Gemini, o2 fixes an oopsie, genetically modified spiders produce red fluorescent silk, and Harvard's copy of the Magna Carta isn't what they originally thought.

Mother's Day door painting and flower planting. The damages for the NSO hack of WhatsApp (6 years ago!) are now in, how passkeys work, and the breach of the Signal Clone in widespread use by the US Government.

Eric and Jon both had very boring* weekends. Reckless Rabbits and Scattered Spiders discussed along with xAI private keys. Amazon achieves space pinecone and astrophysicists track down the origin of heavy metals (well, some of them, at least).

Jon mows and auctions, Eric's thinking of game development. Misuses of Claude, World Passkey Day, and the FBI's IC3 report of scam impact in 2024. For fun we have the 'blank slate' -- a small EV truck coming soon, and making geometry dash with redstone in vanilla minecraft.

Jon farms and Eric drives. Apple case in the UK won't be secret, don't blow up systems on your way out the door, and CVE gets a new maintainer. Ramp meters proven to work, and who doesn't need a little carrot cake in their life?
