    Eric prints and Jon fixes washer. The Noodlophile stealer propagates via legal infringement claims, and portal auth issues allow control of connected cars.

  • 400: Dredge Operator
    Aug 9 2025

    Eric's on vacation and Jon wrangles cows. Cloudflare accuses perplexity of stealth scraping tactics, Google tweaks their disclosure policy, Microsoft studies AI impact on jobs, and OpenAI shared chats disclose a little (lot) too much. For fun, how about a hike in the Tetons, and Potatoes from Tomatoes.

    Eric publishes a book, and Jon is trepidacious. The National Nuclear Security Administration is affected by the Sharepoint attack, and DNS is used as a file transfer system. Amazon buys Bee (Echo, coming soon to a wrist near you), and we're one step closer to a universal cancer vaccine.

    Jul 19 2025

    Eric gets new doors (almost) and Jon gets A/C. Amazon launches more Kuiper satellites with the help of SpaceX. You can use Passkeys to encrypt files and Android get's Gemini whether the user wants it or not. GPS is not the only location game in town and lots of mammals evolved into ant eaters?

    Jul 12 2025

    A 4th of July was had by both. An extension hijacking campaign that infected as many as 2.3 million users and software to protect the small web from AI scrapers with computational overhead. For fun we have car tipping (off a cliff!?), and evidence for even more water on Mars.
