Sigh.

Every year around this time we see people posting the same tired, old advice about DefCon that hasn't felt relevant in over a decade: "Don't turn on your laptop" and "Bring a burner phone" and all that other hooey.

Am I going to have to do a video that pushes back against this? 🫣

Update: @defcon advice video is posted...

Deviant's DEF CON Advice

@deviantollam @defcon this was super helpful for me as a newbie to BH & DEF CON to watch -- especially about dinner plans!

As someone who won't know anyone there but my coworker who's coming with, how would you suggest us finding new people to have meals with without falling victim to lobby-standing-for-45-minutes?

(... I'm overthinking this, aren't I? 😅)

@StrykerNoStriking @defcon being bold and asking people what their dinner plans are as early as before lunch can be a thing.
