People have been saying this since he was forced into buying the platform. I initially thought that could be true too.
As time has gone on, however, I’m starting to think he’s just that incompetent

Excel is one of those tools that punches way above its weight class. Which is why it’s so common to see in places where it should have been replaced by a proper database years ago.
I am not a material scientist, but I would wonder if molten metals would radiate too much heat to the environment causing an efficiency loss
Just get better at hunting. You go out for hours at a time and never come back successful.
It’s a good thing that the pantry always has food, otherwise we’d be in trouble.
It’s a sign that you’re winning a war when you need to jail your own researchers and scientists, right?
I’m not sure I necessarily agree. Your assessment is correct, but I don’t really think this situation is security by obscurity. Like most things in computer security, you have to weight the pros and cons to each approach.
Yubico used components that all passed Common Criteria certification and built their product in a read-only configuration to prevent any potential shenanigans with vulnerable firmware updates. This approach almost entirely protects them from supply-chain attacks like what happened with ZX a few months back.
To exploit this vulnerability you need physical access to the device, a ton of expensive equipment, and an incredibly deep knowledge in digital cryptography. This is effectively a non-issue for your average Yubikey user. The people this does affect will be retiring and replacing their Yubikeys with the newest models ASAP.
Absolutely. If you are the CISO in a place where security is a top priority with adversaries that may have access to the equipment and knowledge to exploit this, you will absolutely want to retire the keys ASAP and replace them with the new model that is not vulnerable to this.
I like #B00B69. Not only for the name, but also because it’s a really nice magenta color
Welcome back. I love these comics. The website situation is super shitty, I wish you luck on that endless battle.
I ended up just switching to your Tumblr page in my webcomic rotation to get around it.
Oh yeah, Project management is one of those roles that is especially vulnerable to the Peter Principal.
In order to be a good one, you need to be part therapist and part hostage negotiator while also being one of those weirdos that enjoys meetings
A few competent project managers would probably help things quite a bit, actually.
Having a single point of contact for several disparate teams of people doing real work so that they can actually do that work, instead of spending extra time in endless meetings arguing over the best way to implement something that requires multiple people’s input is a valuable tool to have.
Think of them like a tank in an RPG, taking all the meeting hits that would otherwise decimate the effectiveness of people actually putting the real work in.
Sure, but an average user is not going to know to check for the URL protocol. It’s still incredibly effective for phishing
You’ve got half of it. The hacker’s server is acting as a middleman for the real login page. Everything appears legitimate except the URL will be wrong and if you use a password manager, it won’t auto-fill
They access the legit login page and forward it to you, but they’re in the middle capturing everything you send.
When you enter your login details, they will record them and then forward them to the real login window in near real time, effectively logging in as you. They then have a legitimate session token which they can use to access your account without needing to re-authenticate.
An attack using this tool does require that the user actually logs in, but because they’re just acting as a proxy for the real login page, the only way you’d spot the difference is if the URL doesn’t match (or that your password manager doesn’t auto-fill)
However, it’s pretty easy to see that someone would be fooled by that as you’d expect to need to confirm your identity when adding a gift card to your steam account.
Typically, with scams like this, the attacker is using a tool like Evilginx.
The way this works is that Evilginx runs on a server that the hacker controls and will request the login page from whatever service they are targeting(Discord, Steam, Google, etc) and then serve it to you as a proxy. It looks entirely legitimate unless you make sure to very closely check the URL.
Once you login, it will take a copy of your Username, your password, and your session token(the thing that lets Discord know it’s you so you don’t need to login again after every refresh). and suddenly the attackers now have access to your account to do whatever they want with it.
Discord should absolutely prevent modifying links in this way specifically for this reason, but good practice as a user is to hover over every link and make sure it’s pointing where it’s supposed to. Don’t click on anything that looks suspicious.
I’m not sure what hardware you’re running, but with my motherboard, to get 4x4x4x4 out of a slot requires sacrificing GPU bandwidth from x16 to x8
to get 4x NVMe drives out of a single PCIe slot without bifurcation you need a card that has it’s own RAID controller. These aren’t cheap (think ~$500) as they are specialty hardware, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a whole professional workstation or server.
Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
My certs have all expired, but when I started I didnt have any at all.
The thing that worked for me was to apply to small businesses(Look into local MSPs). Places that have ~20 employees have much less rigor about certs and will more likely test that you’re amicable enough to mesh with the rest of the team. From there you can build experience and often get thr company to pay for your certs.
Why not both
