I’m seriously considering fully moving from my iPhone to a Pixel with GrapheneOS after the Pixel 10 drops. Might need a Pixel Watch with LTE just for contactless payments, but I’m already testing GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7a & prepping alternatives for photo, contact, and calendar syncing. #InfoSec

The ADL excused Elon’s salute, and now they’re encouraging Jews to invest in Tesla and Meta? They’ve fallen so far it’s not even funny. You don’t represent us anymore and haven’t for years! https://forward.com/news/700072/adl-tesla-jlens-meta-amazon-musk/

My dogs are officially spoiled—I’m now giving them the same spring water I get delivered. Their bowl automatically circulates and filters it, so they’re drinking better water than most people.

I made a python script to plot Bluesky user growth to make sure my math was right and generate a user growth graph. At a very conservative 0.6 user per second growth, (it's close 0.8 ATM). Bluesky won't stop exploding in growth!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again—Threads has some of the lowest-quality posts of any microblogging platform. Bluesky and Mastodon are way better. Threads is only slightly better than Twitter, but the randomness of what gets seen and Meta's ownership kill any real potential it had.

Elon Musk juggling multiple CEO roles proves two things: 1. Execs aren’t as essential as they claim. 2. Shaming remote workers for holding multiple jobs at the same time is hypocritical. If a billionaire can do it, why can’t regular people trying to survive in this economy?

Wow, Tesla was still going down afterhours. Which tells me even the more established investors who do after hours trading are losing confidence in Tesla. Tesla was already kicked out of the $1T club of companies, and to be honest I don't see them ever returning due to Musk's antics.

Just uploaded STEP files, technical drawings, and my logo SVG to PCBWay for a 6061 aluminum backplate to improve MNT Pocket Reform thermals. Hoping to have it by mid-March—should drop temps 20-30°C on my mini laptop. Excited to see how well this upgrade works! 🔥💻

After some back and forth, PCBWay understood that my penguin with a rifle isn’t actually firearm-related—it’s just a logo I wanted engraved. They’ve reversed their decision, and we’re moving forward with laser engraving it on my MNT Pocket Reform thermal upgrades! #Tech #Gaming #Linux #DIY

Bitsight is the Yelp of Cybersecurity—I mean that in every single negative way possible. Arbitrary scoring, questionable accuracy, and a reputation system that can be easily gamed. It’s a black box that businesses take way too seriously without understanding how flawed it is. #InfoSec #Cybersecurity

Tesla stock keeps tanking—it’s now under $300. The warning signs were flashing for weeks, and today it’s down another 3%. If it drops about another $80 from here, it’ll wipe out six months of gains. The reality is setting in—hype can’t outrun fundamentals forever.

Elon Musk has completely shot himself in the foot. His business and politics are at complete odds. EV buyers overwhelmingly lean left, while the right clings to gas and diesel. His base doesn’t want his product. 1/3

Just got the proof sample in from my new laptop I am having also customized by Tuxedo Computers. This will be on my “Super” key aka the Windows Key! Some details are lost from my logo due to how small it is but I think it looks AMAZING! #Linux #infosec #Cybersecurity #Opensource

Tesla officially dipped below $300. It’s now close to 7.25% for the last quarter and getting close to wiping out all gains for the past six months.

Tesla just tanked over 9% in a single day, sitting around $300 now. Seems like it’s tied to Elon Musk denying the Tesla-Nissan buyout rumors. I love Nissan—the Skyline GTR is my dream car. Would be a damn shame if it turned into a Swasticar.

One thing that lives rent-free in my head: Months ago, I was streaming, and someone randomly asked, “Does a woman’s body count matter?” Without thinking, I responded: “Only in a video game does a body count actually matter.” Still proud of that one. #Gaming #Tech

I’m waiting on the new Elgato extension arm to properly install my Elgato Teleprompter and mount my Sony ZV-E10. Once that’s set, I’ll move my OBSbot Tiny 2 to an overhead cam and get back to making YouTube videos next week! 1/3

I’m finally considering switching from iPhone to a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS full time. The only catch? To keep contactless payments, I’ll need an LTE Pixel Watch. Might make the switch next year, possibly around the Pixel 10a release. 1/2

I’ll never buy a Tesla. I used to like the Model X & Roadster before realizing Elon’s a nutjob. But a BYD or Xiaomi EV? Absolutely. Rivian looks nice, just pricey. BYD Atto 3 is 🔥. If the US allowed Chinese EVs, I think a lot of Americans would love them. But we can’t because Trump voice CHINA!!!

Anyone else enjoying Tesla stock tanking while analysts keep coping? Sales are crashing globally, yet they’re spinning it as “Tesla is now an AI & robotics company.” Meanwhile, Elon can’t even game properly, let alone lead AI. The copium is unreal. 🤣 #Tesla #StockMarket

So we are back to this old song and dance? You can't make one backdoor without being a backdoor for the rest. Did the FBI not learn this lesson after Salt Typhoon!? Guess we need to roll our own backups, and go back to locally backing up iPhones on computers with iTunes […]

Just swapped out my failing mic arm for a new one with sleek covers. But something was missing… So, naturally, I raided my B-Sides & DEFCON sticker stash and gave it some personality. Now it feels right. 🎤🔥 #Infosec #Cybersecurity #DEFCON

Good news: Replaced the mic arm for my Shure SM7B, so no more random drops mid-stream! Bad news: Need an Elgato arm extension to mount my Teleprompter & Sony ZV-E10. Should have everything set up by the weekend! Also repurposing my OBSBOT Tiny 2 as an overhead cam for soldering & tinkering.

Always cracks me up how Mac users justify spending 2X the price for similar specs 🤣 Meanwhile, I just got: 🔹 Ryzen 8845HS | Nvidia 4070 🔹 2560x1600 240Hz Display 🔹 2TB NVMe | 96GB RAM 🔹 3-year warranty 🔹 Custom logo engraved on the back & super key! 🔥 All for way less! 🔥

Just realized both of the laptops I bought—the MNT Pocket Reform & the Tuxedo Computers laptop—are from Germany. My Jewish ass did not see that coming… Bad pun intended. 😆

Still loving my MNT Pocket Reform, but working through a few issues: 🔧 Battery defect – waiting on a replacement 📶 WiFi issues – could be heat or antenna placement, testing thermal pads 🔥 Thermals – designing an aluminum top via PCBWay for better cooling & engraving my logo (Open-source FTW!) 1/2

Working on a custom upgrade for my MNT Pocket Reform! Planning to swap the top for anodized purple aluminum (better thermals) with my logo laser-engraved. Also looking to tuck 5G antennas behind the bezels for my 4G modem—may need to reposition WiFi too. Should be fun!

I’d love to review the Fairphone and Nothing Phone, but after spending my budget on new laptops & camera gear for Linux & Cybersecurity content, that’s on hold for now. Still, I want to share more private & secure phone options in the future!

Me: Makes a TikTok using the European boycott trend as a hook to talk about Open Source, De-Googling, GrapheneOS, and Fairphone. Them: Watches 5 seconds, assumes it's just about switching to Samsung, leaves a dumb comment. 1/2

@protonprivacy really needs to make ProtonPass and ProtonMail native apps work in ARM. It's the only thing missing from my @mntmn Pocket Reform in my workflow so far. I think Bitwarden should work on it...

I have a bit of a complaint about @MeidasTouch.com . Growing up in a Fox News household, I’ve seen how certain media outlets rely on outrage rather than information. While I agree with a lot of what MeidasTouch covers, I can’t help but feel they lean too much into inflammatory content. 1/4

People need to stop conflating wealth with intelligence. Elon Musk runs a rocket company and a car company because he had money, not because he's smart. He had the funds to hire actually smart people. I wouldn’t trust him to build a model rocket, let alone operate a basic 3D printer.

If you’re still on Twitter after everything Elon Musk has done—gutting moderation, platforming extremists, suppressing links, and outright lying about free speech—you’re part of the problem. There are better alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon that actually respect users and engagement. 1/2
