m-s-y··on Apple and a hacker's future
“this vulnerability has been observed on multiple systems on which port 5900 was accessible from the Internet”

We’ve known that improperly secured ports and non-firewalled machines get popped. When will people learn?

I know let’s put our power plants and water treatment out there with open ports too. Why should endusers have all the fun?

m-s-y··on Show HN: Dental Scope – Interactive 3D dental anatomy
Years and years of “mobile first” getting getting traction only to be forgotten in a heartbeat when it’s finally easy to do “real cool stuff” on desktop.

I personally couldn’t be happier about it.

m-s-y··on OpenAI halts training of latest models as reports mount of AI agents going rogue
I firmly believe that this is just the public-facing story here.

Stopping AI development and research, even slowing it, would be a disaster for the SOTA companies and their first-mover advantage.

There’s almost no way to coordinate this across the world. Zero chance that everyone stops. We can’t even agree to coordinate on weapons tech that’s decades old with zero “everyday joe” impact.

m-s-y··on Allow babywearing carriers on planes
attaching a baby carrier / car seat to a vehicle seems easy, but a recent study showed that about half of US drivers had their seats installed incorrectly, and these are vehicles where the driver has unlimited time and resources to get it right.

I can't imagine that percentage goes up when strapped for time and under pressure during aircraft boarding.

This implies that human employees don’t have insurance. But they do. My company’s cyber insurance for example covers breaches due to employee mistakes. Most companies also have umbrella liability policies. It’s just that for now, AI “employees” need a LOT more coverage.
m-s-y··on GPT-6 Astra
>I am reasonably confident that there's essentially nothing that I am better than Fable at

While this may be true, it’s a pretty poor indicator of whether or not it’s AGI.

m-s-y··on Malware infects Android-based automotive head unit firmware
Wireless CarPlay uses Bluetooth to exchange SSID and key info before switching over to WiFi for the duration of the session.
m-s-y··on Felony charges for citizen deleting phone data at US Border
What case law allows for the establishment of “evidence” before a crime was alleged? Is it not a catch-22?
m-s-y··on Small, native web tricks worth remembering
Love when I go into a car dealership and get to read all about the different cars. Specially when the cars aren’t actually there. In fact there’s not even a picture of a single car. Yep that’s my jam.
m-s-y··on Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU
Good luck proving the origin of these created works
m-s-y··on Qwen 3.8 27B
Are you willing to share this benchmark’s internals? Kinda weird to expect folks to take you at your word without the ability to “trust but verify”
m-s-y··on Advertise in ChatGPT
God forbid we anticipate what could possibly go wrong in an attempt to get ahead of the problem.

But I guess waiting for problems to show their ugly heads before acting has never backfired.

m-s-y··on Bashblog – a single bash script to create blogs
And I for one am here for Perl
m-s-y··on Ubiquiti: Enterprise NAS, Built on ZFS
just genuinely curious about your MTU use case and why this is required...?
m-s-y··on macOS 27 Beta breaks the ability to boot Asahi Linux
Macs are special purpose hardware for running macOS. A PC you build from custom components in your office is a general purpose machine. The gaming console example by oc is quite apt.
m-s-y··on Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now "Magic" Gives It Gravity
> "magic" is already a fairly well known term in quantum computing literature

which is fine, but the point is still valid. who looked at the state of science education in today's world and though that "magic" was a word that belonged anywhere near legitimate discourse? and more importantly WHY?

m-s-y··on Apple rejected my dictation app for using the accessibility API
macOS already has a dictation feature that does this exact thing, albeit in real time. I use it extensively.

OP’s description in the linked article doesn’t say much more than this, so what am I missing with this particular app?

m-s-y··on Ebola Outbreak Now Third Largest Recorded and "Spreading Rapidly"
For EVs, yes, absolutely
m-s-y··on New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing
Set your caption prefs globally at the account level in the web interface.

It’s not a server or session level setting for some reason.

m-s-y··on Distributing Mac software is increasing my cortisol levels
Sorry to say but your PDFs were malware. In 20+ years I’ve never seen this on my Macs nor the literal thousands I’ve managed with various MDMs.
m-s-y··on The Classic American Diner
Not a single picture of a diner in Worcester, MA? For shame.
m-s-y··on IPv6 traffic crosses the 50% mark
I have found that it is incredibly satisfying to whip out the “no” card.

I have also found that an uncomfortable number of people do not consider it appropriate in any way shape or form. Even when it’s ultimately your call and no one else’s.

Folks don’t really like waves. They like looking at them from the shore, but freak out when it’s their turn to hang 10

m-s-y··on WireGuard makes new Windows release following Microsoft signing resolution
But eff isn’t going to come to my aid if it’s isn’t a big story, like wireguard. We’re all just arguing circularly around the fact that companies with massive footprints can and do operate in a manner where it’s assumed that zero access is the industry standard for “normal users”
m-s-y··on Tailscale's new macOS home
command-click-and-drag them to where you want 'em. don't need bartender for this
m-s-y··on Show HN: Apfel – The free AI already on your Mac
A serious project would do the work to be delivered via the native homebrew repository, not a “selfhosted” one.
m-s-y··on Critics say EU risks ceding control of its tech laws under U.S. pressure
Is it just me or is there not actual meat to this article? Like what specifically are the rules at issue here?
m-s-y··on Supreme Court Sides with Cox in Copyright Fight over Pirated Music
I still boycott Sony over this. Made me a PC gamer, too.
m-s-y··on Afroman found not liable in defamation case
which is fine. But they didn't vet this info, just ran with it. Massive negligence & duty failure
m-s-y··on Volatility: The volatile memory forensic extraction framework
It’s a fantastic project, but what’s the benefit of posting this here, today?

There’s no context other than the link to the GitHub project. And it’s not like this is remotely new…?

m-s-y··on What your Bluetooth devices reveal
