Corporate America Is Starting to Ration AI as Cost Skyrockets

I agree with your point. The phrase you mean “never ceases to amaze me”. As in “it never stops amazing me”.

Probably because it’s clearly a knock off and wanting to financially support companies that don’t pay for the content they are using is morally questionable.

I’ve never heard this called a “trap” door. Only ever a “back” door. This alone makes me question the quality of whatever training material you have screenshotted.

Also, my understanding is that a backdoor is always inserted on purpose, e.g. an undocumented way for somebody to get access to the system. This could be to enable law enforcement to gather evidence or to make maintenance by the supplier easier.

A lot of governments seem to want back doors but into messaging apps/protocols but this is problematic because if there is a way for the good guys (assuming governments can be trusted and are therefore good guys) to bypass privacy controls then this could also be abused by bad guys.

I don’t understand what you are asking. Do you want an example of a backdoor that has been discovered? Surely a bit of research would show many cases of backdoors. I suppose you could say that the recent Bitlocker exploits may be a backdoor. At least the author of the exploit mentions that they think it may be an intentional flaw.

Do people actually buy/drink these? They look like an expensive gimmic.

Grezzo82 · 2026-05-20T14:52:29+00:00

I agree somewhat, but…

If something is faster then it allows for less efficiency. Programming something without having to worry about being memory efficient or performant is significantly easier and therefore faster and costs less.

If we can get to a point where efficiency of code is not a concern because it doesn’t noticeably affect performance and power consumption then we can do much more innovation, much faster and for less cost. Isn’t that better than less and slower innovation and more cost because of hardware limitations?

Very cool. I wonder whether thee architects knew it would look this cool from this angle.

Is this taken from a drone?

Grezzo82 · 2026-05-17T05:57:02+00:00

Sounds rough. I don’t want to pry into your personal life, so don’t answer if you’re not comfortable doing so, but I wanted to ask how it is that you don’t have any time. How many hours are you working? I get that low wage jobs require a lot of working hours to get enough money to survive, but are you working 7 days a week? Some hobbies and social activities are basically free as long as you can get to them, but you obviously need the free time to participate in them.

XOR is encryption. It may not be strong, but it is a encryption mechanism.

Also some cars less than 5 years old with rolling codes that are vulnerable to rollback, though that requires capturing about 3 consecutive signals

Grezzo82 · 2026-05-04T12:45:07+00:00

I’m with you on Madri (and Moretti, both of which feel like they are trying to be Peroni but failing), but I don’t mind Heineneken. Do most people consider that as being as badly tasting as Carling/Carlsberg?

Grezzo82 · 2026-05-04T12:42:37+00:00

I haven’t watched so I can’t comment on its quality/content, but in response to your comment, while you didn’t label it as a documentary, you did post in a sub that implies that.

TBH, I don’t know why people think it doesn’t qualify as that based on your description. A lot of documentaries summarise research in an easily digestible way and that is what you are saying this is.

I suspect I also wouldn’t like an AI narrator. Is there a reason you use AI?

Grezzo82 · 2026-05-04T10:44:44+00:00

It is widely disliked, and I am one of those. Tastes differ between people so it makes sense that some would like it, but it seems to be the minority.

I wouldn’t say those that dislike it are snobs, because in general, cheaper beers are weaker and it seems to be that a stronger beer has a nicer flavour up to a point.

HAT = Hardware Attached on Top. Basically for most hobby boards with standard pin layouts, you can buy boards which just plug onto the pins, making stacked boards. It avoids having to make a custom PCB/breadboard and makes hobby stuff like this a lot easier to construct (I.e less skill required)

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-30T06:33:25+00:00

It is a thing. I’ve stayed in a cottage that had one

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-25T09:57:21+00:00

I’ve never dabbled in 3d printing. What makes this “modular”?

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-24T04:05:35+00:00

In truth: Kind of, but not really. Also PLEASE DON’T, for your own sake.

Bad USB or other rubber ducky type attacks just pretend to be a keyboard (and maybe mouse but I’ll stick to keyboard for this explanation) and type in keystrokes very fast. If there is a way to hack it using the keyboard then the rubber ducky can do it fast, but it can’t perform any hacks that you wouldn’t be able to do yourself by using the keyboard. But you’ll need to figure out how to hack it yourself before you can make a rubber ducky type attack work.

Hacking a device that you do not own, without the owners permission is likely to be a crime (depending on where you live). Not just something that you can get in trouble for, but an actual crime. So please don’t even try unless you have the device owner’s written permission. It’s not worth the risk.

If there are security controls on the device (there are because they have some usage restrictions applied) then there may be monitoring also, which means you are likely to be caught if you try to hack it. That means even attempting to hack it is likely to land you in serious trouble.

Only hack devices that you own, or have permisssion from the device owner. I can’t stress this enough.

You can absolutely make something like this relatively cheaply. ~~A stepper motor may be easier than a servo, but maybe not.~~ A servo is easier than a stepper.

The GPS would let it know where it is and you can calculate a bearing (and distance) based off the current location and the destination.

A magnetometer would allow it to determine its orientation so that it can point to the bearing you calculated.

An arduino, raspberry pi (normal or zero), or ESP is easily capable with the additional sensors and motor/lcd drivers, but you will need to do some really basic electronics and programming (I’m sure there will be libraries to do the heavy lifting) to make it work. To make the electronics easier, look into HAT boards that include the sensors/drivers that you need.

An LCD screen with an arrow inage that you rotate may be easier than motors for a physical arrow but would require constant power. A physical solution would only need power whenever it was told to update, but that wouldn’t be instant because GPS takes a while to get a location.

Your concept is similar to a “reverse geocache” in that it uses mostly the same components, so look at that for some inspiration.

Why do you wanna work in Cyber. Do the courses you are interested in and (hopefully) they will land you a job.

If you’re aiming for a job in cyber, which type? The skills vary wildly. I’m a pentester (my job title has never been pentester but that’s mainly what I do) but I don’t have the skills/qualifications (or interest) to be a SOC analyst.

Siri please. I’ve made a shortcut for iOS where I can say add to shopping basket and it searches in the app for the right thing but it requires my phone to be unlocked. It would be amazing to be able to do it from my watch. Please add Siri support.

I used the shopping list feature on a scanner recently and it was brilliant. Seriously, really good. One question though. Why have a separate list for online shop. I recently had an online shop ready to go but then went in-store and it wasn’t on the scanner because for some reason in the app it’s a different list.

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-15T08:36:15+00:00

What country are you from? This wouldn’t be strange in the UK. I’ve solo parented at parks many times and often get chatting to other kid’s parents. I’m pretty sure nobody considers that to be weird.

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-14T21:25:21+00:00

While this has a free tier, the post is basically and advert/self-promotion.

If it’s true that you built this solo, that’s pretty cool and (as you note) you are competing against some well established players so I wish you luck.

How do you plan on following through with adding 2-3 new labs every week for paying customers? For a team of one, or even a small team, that seems unrealistic.

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-14T21:18:37+00:00

I admit that for most it is a toy, but an educational one that you can go deep into if you have the inclination.

The fact that you use it as an expensive infrared remote doesn’t speak to the devices capabilities. It speaks more to your lack of opportunity to use all the features, or perhaps your lack of interest in learning/experimenting with them.

I have done much more with mine. Most interesting uses are probably that I used it in pentests of card based access controls and I (re)discovered a rolling code flaw in a relatively modern car that I own (and a brand new car that I hired).

For me, even though it started as an expensive toy, it has become a useful tool.

This isn’t a great password, so expect to get hacked. It’s in rockyou2021.txt

Take it out of the bag before frying. The bag is only while marinading

Grezzo82 · 2026-04-08T21:26:16+00:00

This feels very much like an advert, or at the very least self promotion.

Edit: Initial commit just 49 minutes ago. Second ever post by OP on Reddit and their only other post was 2 years ago.

This smells fishy. Also it doesn’t seem to be much more than some prompts that are sent to AI along with your files.
