As the first week of August gets closer and closer, I'm definitely having a bit of fomo about not going to #DEFCON this year. Family always comes first, but I'm definitely going to miss out on the fun times. Althugh, that said, wow tickets are expensive this year Crossposted with @openvibe.social

It's been six months now since I joined @readai.bsky.social I'll admit, I was initially pretty cynical about the "AI bubble." But after six months in, my view on this sector of the industry has definitely changed. Read my full retrospective at billyjbryant.com/blog/ai-is-a... #Tech #AI #Infosec

@keyport.me just launched their new #EDC kit for the #SAK58 called #Versa58! It's an EDC kit to expand the functionality of your #SAK by adding in some of Keyport's already tried and true products like the Pocket Flare and a handy Pocket Clip keyport-inc.kckb.me/33c268d3

Barbara Rose Johns was 16 when she led a walkout at her high school, credited with helping end school segregation. Her statue replaces Robert E. Lee's, which was removed in 2020.
Get yourself a @keyport.me for the holiday!
This week is going to be surreal. On Friday, I will log off of from @mapbox.com for the last time. I will absolutely miss all of the people that I have grown to call friends and colleagues over the past 3 years. Soon I will start my new role at @readai.bsky.social and I'm super excited!

Ever wake up, finding yourself waxing for #nostalgia? Take a look at #IMG_0001! It's a look back at the magic of early #YouTube, a random assortment of pre-algorithm videos when all it took to post was a smartphone and a "Share to YouTube" button. walzr.com/IMG_0001

Getting to meet @thedarktangent.bsky.social in person was definitely a highlight of #DEFCON33! Thank you for being nice enough to take a quick selfie with me! Can't wait for the #RoadToDEFCON34
If anyone happens to find this Keyport knife and flashlight combo, that also has an attached black paracord with a black DC32 bead, I would really love to get it back! If you turn it into the @keyport.me booth in the #DEFCON vendor area, there will be a #reward in store! #lostandfound #DEFCON33
If you got a paper badge and human benge swap is now live! #defcon33 Original post: defcon.social/@defcon/1149...

Hacker @0dayctf.bsky.social has gone viral for exposing how everyday keychains, fobs, and remotes leave you wide open. He is not trying to scare you, he does it so you’re no longer an easy target.
