Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

This is a great example of why the world needs hackers
washingtonpost.com The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · Aug 29
After a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a couple in 2019, crucial data detailing how the fatal wreck unfolded was missing.

Then a hacker found it. Tesla later said it had the data on its own servers all along.
Tesla said it didn’t have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it.
The key evidence was presented last month to a jury, which found the company partially liable for the 2019 crash in Key Largo, Florida.

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

I’ll have to watch more when I have time, but really enjoyed so far! The part about dressing goth is so real. Also loved the convo around breaking the typical “go to college, get married, have kids” path

Good friend of mine interviewed a variety of folks from musicians to chefs to martial artists and tech folks and beyond. The central theme of each conversation is passion and curiosity. The playlist is an impressive collection of people and perspectives

Red Team collaboration has evolved over time. I remember using SILC for encrypted chats and TRAC wiki and source code tracking. Here are the more modern services I think Red Teams can benefit from and a super easy way to stand them up: github.com/mubix/redtea...
