@mttaggart I thought about picking it up, then I saw the price... Sounds like it's probably a pass then.

@mttaggart A CVSS 4 score can be so big it doesn't fit within the original constraints of a tweet...

@JessTheUnstill @mttaggart @realcaseyrollins I hear you 100% on the disabling functions. 99% of the time, Alexa is ONLY used to set my security alarm. For some reason, every now and then it parses "Alexa, Arm." as "Alexa Arm [fart]"* and instead plays a fucking fart noise.It's actually pretty terrifying to just hear a guttural, unexplained noise in the house at 12am in the dark.I've since disabled the skill, but every now and then, it parses it wrong and asks if I want to turn on the skill again.

@mttaggart I'm trying to think of a concise way to teach someone to recognize these as scams. Do you think it's as straightforward as "if something scary pops up and says to call Microsoft, it's almost definitely a scam"?

@mttaggart Perhaps this is picky but Microsoft does offer phone support through its "Get Help" app, though how many people would get to this is a different question...If I wanted to be nuanced, maybe saying "...without you actively seeking out support"? But maybe that nuance counterproductive. (I'm quibbling over this because I'm putting something together for our non-techies to keep themselves safe!)

@outadoc @TechConnectify Additionally, the "anti-algorithm" people don't seem to realize 'chronological sorting' is an algorithm too, with its own impacts. It rewards the fastest, most online users by putting them at the top.

@mttaggart I'm reminded of people screeching that Android devices were patching privilege escalation vulnerabilities that any app could exploit because it prevented them from achieving root access on their device. Sigh.

@mttaggart @The_Asshat I got one that was just "following up on my last email... [end]" in reply to their initial cold email. Surely that'll get me to reply now.

@mttaggart @The_Asshat No! Not Pickup artist sales reps! I'll be forced to bite once they insinuate I have nothing worth protecting in my environment so I can prove them wrong!

My music taste has been all over the place lately... it's mostly been a mix of death metal, early 2000s EDM, and now most recently the goofiest power metal I can find

So I was reading this article about using the blockchain to host malware by @dangoodin and I had the same question as a commenter: how the hell do you deal with someone putting CSAM on the blockchain???It seems the strategy with malware is tagging it, but that can't seriously be good enough when it comes to CSAM. I don't know much about blockchain tech, but I'm seriously asking about the solution to this.

@JessTheUnstill I watched a show where a character literally radioed aliens to come and invade. Seems crazy. But I understand how one could get to that point now.
