If you’re shocked OpenAI stole Apple intellectual property, wait until you find out where all their training data came from Theft is OpenAI’s entire foundation

Reduced lifetime of TLS certificates is a scam propagated by big certificate to sell more certificates

It’s massively important to ensure your app user experience is exceedingly good As you’re thinking about user experience, never forget threat actors are also users The Threat Actor user experience is typically dogshit

Imagine, instead of getting into Cybersecurity, you could have started your own portable toilet business and could have been making 10x the money and somehow also deal with 10x less shit

The irony of breaking into CyberSec in 2026 is everyone wants the cookie cutter path but the cookie cutter path doesn’t set you apart from anyone else in the candidacy pool so why the fuck would someone hire you??
