This is the first full weekend in forever that the whole family has nothing going on. What have I done? Figured out how to fix the master bedroom shower and replaced the cabin air filter on my Jeep Compass. I would love to play some of my games but haven’t had a chance with family time, so Minecraft with the kid and Mario Party Jamboree as a family have been it. But I did get reading time that was needed.

Recently bought the hardcover deluxe edition of Ghost in the Shell. Started reading it, and am loving it. The anime movie so far did a pretty good job with picking what to show on screen.

Met up with an old friend to do karaoke at a place a different old buddy runs it at.
Singing is medicine for me and it has been much needed.
Songs I sand:
Different Shade of Blue - Joe Bonnamassa
Tennessee Whiskey - Chris Stapleton
Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
Turn the Page - Seger

Great post on the supply chain issue of using AI. You know, when you are not in control.
Already seen people talk about Claude Code going downhill after an update.

Ummm... Is SANS training ICE?

Edit to add: SANS is training ICE how to pull information off of harddrives, etc.

FOR498: Digital Acquisition and Rapid Triage

"Course Overview:
A digital forensic acquisition training course, FOR498 provides the skills to identify the many and varied data storage mediums in use today, and how to collect and preserve this data in a forensically sound manner despite how and where it may be stored. This forensics data collection course covers digital acquisition from computers, portable devices, networks, and the cloud, and teaches rapid triage—the art and science of identifying and starting to extract actionable intelligence from a hard drive in 90 minutes or less."

This training will directly hurt people.

Due to ongoing pressure from governments globally, we are instituting an age verification program. Recognizing that it is not possible to confirm your age based on a picture of your face, we will instead be counting the number of rings you have. We understand this is the most accurate measure of age.

I've been seeing this extension all over and wasn't sure exactly what folks were doing. Turns out, they weren't doing anything. Claude for Desktop is secretly installing this thing that activates when one of three other extensions are also present.

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop — That Privacy Guy!

Anthropic's Claude Desktop silently installs a Native Messaging bridge into seven Chromium browsers, including browsers Anthropic's own documentation says it does not support, and browsers the user has not even installed.
