Morning greetings from my Chief Security Officer, Jesse Pinkman, and me! From a few months ago.

I adopted Jesse from Doberman Rescue in Omaha, NE, in Aug 2019 when he was 6-7 months old.

Can you tell what series I was watching when I adopted & named him? 😏

He's always got my back!

The need for security- and privacy-engineered medical devices is extreme. Risks are increased significantly when AI is allowed to control medical device actions; most AI algorithms are not thoroughly tested, vetted, or accurate for all contexts of use.

I needed to laugh today. This classic Thanksgiving scene from WKRP in Cincinnati still makes me laugh to tears. Possibly the greatest comedic Thanksiving scene in TV (or movie) history? If no, what Thankgiving comedy do you find funnier? Bring some more laughter. 🦃

From @noaasm.bsky.social: German Federal Court finds that temporary loss of control of personal data can constitute "damage" giving rise to a GDPR claim.

Very similar facts to the EW case Lloyd v Google, but with the opposite conclusion.
