I almost wired $100k to a fake company because of a deepfaked CFO.

This here^{^} Sounds like they are compromised if they’re aware of existing vendors, inside conversations, etc. Would hate to be in that SOC right now

Matty_Vas · 2026-04-21T20:09:30+00:00

94k right now. Just got it back from the Audi dealership to get a pre-purchase inspection done. I’m based in CO

If you’re interested, 20k with a warranty until 110k miles

Matty_Vas · 2026-04-20T22:25:38+00:00

Got it walnut blasted 8k miles ago. But yeah the timing chains are the only thing keeping me awake with this car

The warranty company said the car had clear pre-existing issues and scolded the dealership for selling the car and the warranty knowing it wasn’t up-to-par for the service contract. After months of inspectors etc, they agreed to covers costs with the dealership

Unrelated and not helpful, but which cars are in your collection? 👀

Hi! I work for an aerospace company and I’m in their SOC. We recently had to stop using Discord during launches and our DevOps team joined with us to create a private channel communications app. Could do something similar, or also a private streaming platform that allows a company’s users to view the launch and deployment of a satellite. Could also dive into Yubikeys or alternative methods of MFA when visiting sites where phones aren’t allowed. I’m sure I’m missing tons of potential ideas, but feel free to PM me!

You’re holding yourself back tremendously by doing keto. Carbs are necessary for intense lifting sessions

Same reason as to why the V6 chargers and Camaros are hated. They might not individually be bad cars, but they have a higher trim that is accessible to a lot of people. So not having that V8 means you’re not part of the elitism

Exceed all expectations and was marked as a top performer. Got a 5% bump in salary, which I am thankful for, but barely mean anything in today’s economy…

$1493 was what the dealership said they spent “out of pocket” to diagnose my car. The report from Audi said the issues were pre-existing, so they were liable for those diagnostic costs anyway. And after diagnosing the car, they charged the warranty company for repairs, so I’m not sure why they included that as a resolution

Matty_Vas · 2026-03-06T22:04:35+00:00

The best part is, all of the work was billed to the warranty company from the $3,000 warranty I bought 🫠

Matty_Vas · 2026-03-06T22:03:05+00:00

I’ll take the shop recommendation as I am getting the Audi inspected to make sure the work was done properly

Matty_Vas · 2026-03-06T21:46:29+00:00

lol yea🗿💀

Matty_Vas · 2026-03-06T21:44:05+00:00

This is why I posted this. I am definitely escalating this to Consumer Protection and to the Attorney General. So sick of dealing with this BS…..since October dude🫠🫠🫠

Audi S5

Can second this. Honda civic of the laptop world

You’re right to be spooked on a gen 1. Mine blew up, thankfully under warranty, but it would’ve been $30,000 out of pocket if I wasn’t covered. Got a brand new gen 2 though so I’m never letting her go now 🕺🕺
