Noticed how dirty my work monitors are this morning. Got the IPA (isopropyl alcohol, not beer) and tried to clean them. Nothing. Dirt still there. Found this stuff. And it cleaned the screens to perfection. And, ofc it worked. I run Windows 11. And this is 'Window foam'. I'll get my coat.

Yes, some QR codes are malicious. But, I'm struggling to believe that just a single scan of one QR and everything in your phone is handed over to scammers. www.unilad.com/technology/n...

You can tell you are a computer geek when you read this headline and wonder what Arsenal's issue with Windows Subsystem for Linux is, and why don't they just set it up in Windows and get on with enjoying it?

Elon Musk is malware. A virus. A worm that, once it gets 'in', moves from system to system until they are all taken over. Evading culpability via social engineering, because people are easily swayed by those that have money, thinking that money will then come their way. It never will.

Some of you might recognise this UK anti-everything grifter. Calvin doing a Nazi-salute is straight out of the Father Ted "Are You Right There Father Ted?" episode? anglican.ink/2025/01/29/c...

Finished my annual "Get OpenVAS updated on the work VM that runs Kali, which will update Postgres and everything will break, and you'll need to fix everything" challenge. It's like completing a CTF on "bastard" mode. IYKYK

As someone that's worked in I.T. for >30ys, I'm not sure that any of what I've done (or do) could be considered "proper work". Given that our computer servers are now in a data centre in Dublin, yeah, I'll continue to work from home thankyou very much.

Wow. This is massivey dangerous use of AI (Microsoft Copilot) I logged into Outlook, and was told under my 365 account I now had Copilot, and there it was offering to summarise emails for me. Gave it a phish. Copilot summarises it as being a Coinbase email. It's missed the sender address is wrong.

Can someone smarter than me just check on this? I can't see that this CVE references Apache HTTP Server. Appears to be for Schneider Modicon M340 processors. Whatever those are. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

For a country founded on the principal of not wanting a monarch, the US isn't very good at stopping some really rich foreign guy from walking in and designating himself ruler
