Meanwhile, in a parallel universe…
KingofthesofasI have always said if you want to know if something is sexist or racist flip it around the other way and see if it still fits.

Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 Preview Users Will Get a Free Upgrade
Kingofthesofasthis basically means a free version of windows 10 for anyone that wants it regardless of what version you are now on.
We’ve known for a while that when Windows 10 comes out, it will be a free upgrade to most users . What if you’re using the preview version , though? Yep, you’re included. So if you’re on an old version of Windows that isn’t eligible for the upgrade (like XP or Vista), installing the Preview can get you in the door.
“Deadlines”
Kingofthesofasone time ATT had this suddenly super urgent project that they wanted everyone to work through the weekend on... while the project manager for it was on vacation. Needless to say it ended poorly.

Tonight at eleven, plane hackers.
KingofthesofasI have been preaching this for some time, I am overwhelmingly not surprised that people were able to hack into a phone and control it in flight.

Tableau Automatic Plant Watering Tray
Kingofthesofasthis is actually a pretty cool idea, we don't have any indoor plants now that I have the garden going, but if you are in an apartment and want to grow herbs this would be really cool.

The main issue with autonomous cars
Kingofthesofasactually it is pretty bad at handling all those cases right now. outside of a small track near google where everything is super controlled the google car is pretty non functional ATM.
Lost Generation
Kingofthesofasthe lack of good sysadmins is actually pretty real right now. I decided to look around for a job and have several strong offers from various companies in just a few weeks. Most of them told me they had positions open for a long time (6+ months) because finding anyone qualified was really hard.
Unnecessary automation
Kingofthesofasno way this could go wrong at all....

On the subject of merchandising and cultural obsession...
KingofthesofasI actually feel the same way a little sometimes. All the hipster nerds never had to suffer in the 90s when being called a nerd was a real insult.
Ted Cruz's Campaign Website Sure Looks Easy To Hack
KingofthesofasI want to point out that lack of https does not equal easy to hack (unless it is a man in the middle). That being said ssl certs do not cost that much money and are super easy to install.
As ambitious politicians announce their plans to run for president in 2016, you can be sure that cheeky hackers are gearing up for some good pranks. Who will they hit? Nobody can be sure, but a former developer for the Obama campaign just posted a side-by-side comparison of the security protections on the top four candidates’ websites.

Kingofthesofasinteresting, thoughts anyone?
Crisis? What crisis?
KingofthesofasI have recruiters contact me like every day... That being said getting a position that is on my level can be a bit tricky but if I was willing to settle for lower pay then I could have a new job like overnight.
U.S. forbids Intel-China chip deal
Kingofthesofasthis is actually pretty interesting. 10/10 I bet the US does not trust that the Chinese super computer is not up to no good.
Mistake an apartment for a spaceship? Try to steal it? San Francisco understands.
Kingofthesofasmeth is a hell of a drug
San Francisco's Santino Aviles has been acquitted of purportedly breaking into an apartment and taking a nap. Aviles, however, believed he was stealing a spaceship.
Arbitrage
KingofthesofasI have a friend who would basically live on free chips and queso/salsa and never leave a tip. Needless to say the times I went out to eat with him were few.
When you migrate meterpreter to lsass.exe, only to then be quarantined by the AV you forgot to turn off...
Kingofthesofasor better yet when Oracle identity management breaks the lsass.exe service on all your production DC's at the same time causing them all to enter a reboot storm because someone used a "&" in their password. That was a fun night. Also Funny story the Oracle people said that is a known bug but it is not a big deal...
'Hi… can you reboot <prod server IP>?… yeah, that's the one… What do you mean it's not coming back up?… Shiiiit…'
