Just a (really can’t wait an entire year…) daily reminder that JD1 is a horrible infosec charlatan and human being who often responds to even the most gentle and fair criticism of his ostentatious claims with malice and pile ons. I recommend you do not follow him, or trust his judgement. It’s not drama, he’s legitimately harmful to our industry credibility.
@stevelord Is tying the PM to the tracks an option?
@bea Agreed. Like I said, "$vulnType in $vulnSoftware" is infinitely better.

@kkarhan @paulasadoorian Oh, no, no, no; there are wheel and sensor combinations where the sensors physically will not fit the wheels.

On others, the sensor will fit but the wheels weren't designed with the sensor weight in mind so you'd have to stack weights three or four layers high on the other side to balance... which is ugly... which people who are buying ridiculously expensive wheels for looks don't want.

Source: I worked at a tire shop during the time TPMS systems were becoming standard.

@bea Aside from making exec-types care, this is the one upside to the whole trend of naming vulns.

Yes, it's stupid. Yes, "$vulnType in $vulnSoftware" is still infinitely better. But at least with "log4shell" I have some idea what we're talking about without memorizing numbers.

Get a sous vide.

Most people buy them to do fancy stuff with but they also make cooking steak, eggs, fish, chicken, etc. *SUUUPER* easy.

Just set the temp, drop it in, then go do something else for a while. No worries about overcooking as it just holds it at whatever temp you set. Maybe do a quick sear in a pan to finish... which is itself made easier since you won't have any "outside burned to a crisp before center is cooked" issues to worry about either.

@kkarhan @paulasadoorian
Its gotten better now that they've been mandatory for a while and there's been some standardization, but there was a while where fitting a TPMS sensor to a fair portion of aftermarket wheels either wasn't possible or would require a big, ugly, stack of weights to balance out (no go for a lot of people).

Lots of those cars and wheels are still out there.

@paulasadoorian For the first part, depends on the car. Would work fine for systems that use keyed sensors, wouldn't be nearly as clean on systems that use multiple readers and signal strength to determine location.

For the second part; if you glue it up right and get a good seal on the valve, shouldn't be an issue.

With all the promising talk around LK99, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
