Because we've shown the Govt itself runs unsecured networks, the entire hacker community has rubbed their hands with glee with an industry that is devoid of standards or accountability.

Shocking news in that Haines has had both legs amputated. Maybe not the right place to comment ... but the ABC felt it would be good to announce this with MP Haines holding a goddam bicycle.

In the last 24 hours we've had record profits for Ampol, and NAB sacking 2500 positions while also raking in inflationary profits. The only thing trickling down in this economy is the hubris.

Niagara Falls ... Ontario (Canadian side). I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Great democracy in the world is now very clearly the worst Dictatorship in the world.

If MS Excel was truly getting better, I wouldn't get this bloody prompt every other day to restart the app.

I'm so glad that the NSW Parliament was declared "Safe" ... from a guy in a suit brandishing paper. What were they thinking he'd do? Give tem a paper-cut? Storm in a fucking tea cup. Ironic phrase given that coal is resulting in far, far greater storms.

Well there’s your justification for the next Creative Cloud increase.

One Nation says AI is coming for Australian jobs then used AI to make their campaign video.
They didn’t hire an Aussie videographer or Aussie editor or Aussie actors.
Turns out it’s only ‘Australian jobs first’ when One Nation doesn’t have to pay.

I will never understand why people continue to allow Meta software into their personal devices.

So many government websites. “By mistake”. “Went rogue”. Wake the fuck up politicians. You are being absolutely played and it’s galling to watch.

Stolen from Facebook ...

A bloke I was suss of has gone full right wing conspiracy. A fellow photographer and local footy supporter, this guy is (was?) the photographer for Lismore Council. A wonderfully diverse, tolerant community. The 🚩was when he posted anti-feminist bullshit ... and he has 2 lovely young daughters.

$2.47 for P91 fuel. And we're not yet at the "Pay back the diesel reserves at market price" stage yet. I reckon it will hit $4/L.

I have always used and trusted Apple devices. For what they are, they have always been reasonably priced. Recent products miss the mark. Apple is dieing. A screen that costs nearly as much again to add a stand + non-reflective glass. No 27" iMac. Mid-range specs, premium $$$. It's over, Steve.

I know, let's make a fucking ridiculous nonsense headline, then turn comments off. Voila! No complaints!

This poorly formatted email is an official email from ASIC about my business name. It arrived 2 weeks after ABN business name expired. The payment portal doesn't support secure electronic payment methods, so I now have to go and type all my CC details, including CVV. @cameronwilson.bsky.social

If Facebook crashes in the next 5 minutes it's because it put a News24 post in my feed, which I reported as a Scam trying to mimic ABC News. I'm sure it will set a few chains rattling.

"... claiming it’s been banned by Meta from publicising its upcoming performance… due to the show containing social issues." Gutless. Have been banned. Are performing a classic 19th Century play that highlights social issues.

Here's another special. I Quit the app. File > Quit. But Adobe doesn't care, it still wants to know what I'm doing.

NOW ON ABC NORTH COAST ... The Lismore Theatre Company is running the 19th Century play Doll's House by Ibsen. In promoting the play, the Director (among others) share posts of the upcoming performance. ** They have been banned by Facebook for a week. Presumably for sharing feminist content **

Happy #NHL opening day for those who celebrate!

I have an email to renew my ABN but the email is poorly formatted I am being cautious. The links go to a .gov.au address. The payment screen looks normal. And no PayPal or ApplePay, so we need to type in full CC details. Don't for a second believe this Govt is up to speed with IT security.

Quest will pay for the replacement, right? @asherwolf.bsky.social

Meta brings you the Opt Out Festival. Sign up, then hastily opt out of surrendering everything about yourself to them (again). This is "If the app is free, you are the product" on steroids.

Why are we sick of the media? Kylie lit up the MCG on AFL Grand Final day. All the hits, all the energy. Naturally Footy on Nine would like to poll their audience. With a photo of Kylie where if you look you can see her bum. Of all the photos available to them, this is what they run with.

Seeing as though AI turns up stuff from all sorts of dark corners, I wish it could find where I put my viewfinder eyepiece and battery cap for my camera that I lost during my last job.

Happening right now. The Lismore Theatre Company is putting on the 19th Century Ibsen play Dolls House. A number of the LTC crew have suddenly been limited from posting and sharing promotional material on Facebook (including my photos). It is very likely they have been banned in some form.

I loiter in some online computer game lobbies while I work. Today an Oz shared racer shared a stream with 3 x US. When they cheered for Gulf of America I was concerned, but when they said Kamala would be a worse dictator, I gave up. There are parts of the US where the indoctrination has worked.

While people around the U.S. are tearing down Flock cameras, one group of hackers went a step further: extracting the camera's software too. Here's what we learned: www.404media.co/hackers-stol...

In this crazy world, keep one watchful eye on the hackers. No, not the ones siphoning off your personal data, the ones who dismantle everyday things such as tech and show you plainly how tech is being used to exploit some part of society.

🙋‍♂️

Nope. #Block

Another day, another data breach. Quest Apartments. Texted me as I was, well, staying in a Quest apartment last weekend. I have stayed in a few, most of them via AirBnB. TL;DR .. at first we said it was minor, but it's actually a significant breach. Sorry about that.

This is an actual ad, in actual Facebook. The more desperate for attention Facebook gets, the more depraved it gets. It's probably upset I don't click on the Reels ...

Couldn't sum up life in NSW any better than this.

The big issues ... maybe [checks notes] .... losing Instagram followers will turn Sheeran's attitude to genocide.
