Your friendly neighborhood tech frog, here to explore society and complex systems together. My personal views are obscure and will probably be grating to most people, but we don't have to agree to be friends!

Will often discuss things like distributed systems, programming, society, and computer security. Politics WILL come up sometimes. Video games are cool too


I do serious research in between memes I swear, follow for fun computer adventures, and help build a better society together!!

Meta Silently Added Face-Recognition Code for Its Smart Glasses to Millions of Phones

Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.

Mythos is not great btw. Running it over a bunch of code, it’s similar findings to tools from a few years ago. It’s marketing, essentially. Viral marketing as people doing the marketing are companies and governments.

It’s really good at finding vulns in vibe coded stuff from Claude.. because apparently AI must be both the cause and solution to all life’s problems, like beer.

I found out my employer doesn’t have access to Mythos. I do.

back in the windows 8 era, i thought windows 8 was actually really magical and cool even if the ui was uncomfortable

i remember my computer had windows 8 preinstalled and it came with a couple of really interesting and fun games, some of them feeling surprisingly native to this "new platform" that microsoft was trying to build with the full screen uwp applications, like Adera, god that game was awesome...

i also remember this shark game which was very fun and had this fun old mobile game vibe, like "where's my water?" and others.

my brother's favorite was a space pinball one which was clearly a reference to windows xp's space cadet pinball lol, it was extremely fun!

and lastly, i remember making beats in that one cool app for making music which let you download sample packs and put them together and change chords and all

Critical Samba Printing Vulnerability Enables Remote Code Execution

Samba patched a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-4480) in its printing subsystem caused by improper sanitization of the %J substitution parameter. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary shell commands by submitting crafted print job descriptions.

**If you run Samba file/print servers, immediately upgrade to versions 4.22.10, 4.23.8, or 4.24.3 to patch CVE-2026-4480, or as a quick fix remove the %J parameter from the "print command" line in your smb.conf file. Also disable guest access to printing and make sure your Samba servers are only reachable from trusted internal networks, never directly from the internet.**
