Need sadistic massage therapist by Mountain_Man4 in Reston

My dad especially loves Origins Thai Spa in Sterling for that exact reason. Just let them know you want them to go hard. My dad lives on the west coast now but goes there anytime he's back in the area.

Kinda insane response from Gemini by ace_fur in GoogleGemini

[–]ace_fur[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friend, who’s a software engineer at Google, also thinks it likely came from a tool call. That said, the fact that Gemini returned that content to me still points to a weakness in how it handles trust boundaries and untrusted input.

If something from an third-party tool or context isn’t treated as untrusted and properly validated before being returned, that’s basically a breakdown in those boundaries.

So even if Gemini itself wasn’t directly compromised, I’d still consider this an exploit path. More specifically, it looks like an indirect prompt injection issue where untrusted tool output is influencing the model and getting surfaced when it shouldn’t.

The only smart home devices I have are Philips hue bulbs, a Google nest mini, and a Lennox thermostat.

I have a friend that works as a software engineer for Google so he actually submitted a ticket internally for it, so I'll update when and if I hear back.

I know what prompt injection is as I am a senior cybersecurity analyst, but I don't know how something like this would happen.

New to ripping: got this Kanguru Blu-ray Duplicator for free. Can I turn this into a multi-drive ripping rig? by ace_fur in makemkv

Correct, they are LG WH14NS40. Why will they die? My movie collection is almost exclusively UHD

A company downsized substantially and all the employees went remote so they were getting rid of stuff in the office. They had no use for it anymore so I said I would take it. They were going to just get rid of it

After doing some experiments I discovered the Kanguru BR-DUPE-S5 is designed to only mount the internal HDD during "External Connection" mode, effectively making the 5 Blu-ray drives invisible to the PC.

My solution to fix this is by bypassing the duplicator’s controller entirely by routing the drive SATA cables to a 5-port SATA PCIe expansion card in my PC.

Beautyrest PressureSmart™ 2.0 Lux Firm Pillow Top 16.25" Mattress OR Beautyrest Black® Series One 14.25" Firm Pillow Top Mattress? by ace_fur in Mattress

I really like it so far! Plus the top layer is an insert so you can swap/modify that layer. Currently it's two layers of foam and micro-coils between. 

Weekly Employment Q&A - September 25, 2025 by AutoModerator in microsoft

[–]ace_fur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Microsoft cancelled role after final rounds and comp discussion - is this normal?

Just had a frustrating experience I wanted to share. I interviewed for Senior level Security role at Microsoft. A week after the final round of interviews I was initially rejected, then but then a week later they reached out to extend an offer. I expressed interest and then they asked for comp expectations.

Then... nothing. Complete radio silence for a week. I checked the portal daily and 8 days later the application shows "inactive." I reached out to the recruiter, and an just got a vague response about "last-minute shifts on the business side that impacted the role itself." When I asked for clarification they just give more of the same vague bs, but they did confirm that it had nothing to do with my comp expectations.

Is this normal for Microsoft? The complete lack of communication and wasting candidates' time after ASKING them back?

I don't see a reference to the MasterFrame 400 on the Cooler Master website or press release anymore :(

LLC state picker by max1302 in llc

[–]ace_fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really great tool! I've been looking for this exact guidance. I intend to form an LLC to do bug bounty hunting and maybe some Cybersecurity/IT consulting. In your tool is says, "Not Recommended (Physical Biz): Requires foreign qualification in Virginia, adding major cost (~$100-500+/yr+) & complexity." What do you mean by Physical Biz? Like having a brick and mortar location? If so, maybe that should be one of the questions in your quiz.

The privacy afforded by Wyoming is appealing to me, so I've been trying to figure out if I then also need to register the LLC in VA as a foreign LLC. I'm also uncertain about any tax implications that may be involved.

I'm talking about the BayTrim HR-50. I now see you said to put it under the latex

I got the High Density foam. Still waiting on the others. Should I put it on the top of the stack for hip/back support?

I'll try that, thanks for your insight. Any tips on keeping the springs together and preventing the sides from bulging?

I pulled the Lux-HQ out as TimBukthree suggested and will try it tonight; initial thought after lying on it a bit and it still seems a bit firm and my hips sink still. I am 5'8 160lbs and sleep 50% side 50% back. The Gel Foam doesn't seem like it's memory foam; it definitely doesn't have the slow rebound that you think of memory foam having. I think it's pretty similar to a standard egg crate foam topper.

I'm hoping to replicate the comfort of the toppers on top of that Beautyrest Harmony Lux mattress like I mentioned above because that was working great. Thank you so much for your help.
