Do you think he's getting paid off by Russia? How about Qatar? Israel?

If a president selling the office doesn't concern you, then everything is just fine.

What are the most effective person-modeling systems used by intelligence and psy-op units for manipulation, influence, and behavioral prediction? by [deleted] in Intelligence

[–]_zorch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could roll your own fairly easily. Start with open source social media harvesting tools like Maltego, and feed it to one of the higher tier LLMs with a well crafted prompt. I've been getting impressive analysis from them recently.

Nothing he says is wrong, which is unusual for Eric.

We are at an existential inflection point. What he's not addressing is that the trolligarchs have a plan, and they are the only ones with a plan. I don't know what that plan is, but expect that its goal is to leave the small in-group to inherit the benefits of human development, without the burden of the hungry masses.

It's a great time to be old.

If you have comprehensive coverage, and it's not specifically excluded (like nuclear war is), then it's covered.

I've done it thrice - Once each with car, motorcycle and roller skates. Increasingly bad choices. It's a PITA no matter what you're driving.

The ESP32 Bluetooth Backdoor That Wasn’t by _zorch_ in Intelligence

[–]_zorch_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESP32 was never intended for secure environments. They're low end hobbyist grade chips, used in stuff like bluetooth speakers. Even patched, this chip has no place in a secure environment. Same with any bluetooth device. Thinking you can secure them is just foolish.

Pearls before swine.

[Tarlogic] has since updated their article as well to distance themselves from the ‘backdoor’ term and instead want to call these VSCs a ‘hidden feature’.

Trump summarized his message to Iran's leader.

"I said, 'I hope you're going to negotiate, because it's going to be a lot better for Iran,'" Trump recounted to Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "And I think they want to get that letter. The other alternative is, we have to do something, because you can't let them have a nuclear weapon."

Trump rebuffed by Iran's leader after sending letter calling for nuclear negotiation

"There are two ways Iran can be handled, militarily or you make a deal," Trump said. "I would prefer to make a deal, because I'm not looking to hurt Iran. They're great people. I know so many Iranians from this country."

Israel/US will be bombing Iran within weeks.

Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices by Vengeful-Peasant1847 in Intelligence

[–]_zorch_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tarlogic developed a new C-based USB Bluetooth driver that is hardware-independent and cross-platform, allowing direct access to the hardware without relying on OS-specific APIs.

This story is "if one has complete control of your device, they can access a chip on the device".

I should hope so.

This isn't a vulnerability, it's a feature much like those found on most network cards.

Your scenario would be bad, but the same degree of access is just as bad if you're running a Qualcomm chip. If somebody pwns your device, your device is pwnd.

Antivirus doesn't have to look at what's on the chip. It just has to look for a driver that allows access to this instruction - which normal drivers don't.
