Can confirm... Was flying back home and during a layover in Mumbai I grabbed some food from the food court. It was only after having sat down and eaten most of my food when I noticed that there were pigeons roosting directly above where my meal was purchased from, with their poop stains dribbling down the raised walls directly above the food. That was a particularly rough set of flights back home, but I lucked out and had a fairly empty flight for one leg of it that offered a full row of empty seats for me to lay down in and disassociate from the pain on.
(for anyone who is unaware, the airports - the ones I passed through, at least - in India are fairly open air, so birds were a common sight within them)
For anyone reading the above comment and wanting to see what the commenter might be referring to, here is the first YT video I found on that channel that is relatively brief but has an example of the techniques involved:
I recently discovered openevidence.com, and it's apparently what many doctors have started using for diagnosing patients (with or without their consent). It could be worth looking into for trying to find an explanation of symptoms that might not have a clear diagnosis. It may also just be the new WebMD once it gains more popularity (or even already), but may be another tool in your arsenal all the same.
That's assuming the attacker informs Creative of the attack. A malicious actor could go to the showroom, update the firmware on all devices, and simply let them continue on as normal, waiting for a future opportunity to strike.
Let's hope Creative patches things before something like this happens.
Curse you for this ear worm of a song, but also my brain keeps wanting to interpret this as "duck... You're bad at your job and will never amount to anything. Your mother is ashamed of you and you're the reason your father is an alcoholic." hahaha
I haven't trusted that disable switch for a while now... I'd always had it disabled, but there was one conversation in particular where it referenced a past conversation - despite memory being disabled - and when I asked it why it responded the way it did, it pretended I was mistaken and told me it has no memory of past conversations, even though I could scroll up and see it in the response.
Just because you flip a switch doesn't mean the switch is _actually_ flipped. Same thing goes for turning off wifi/Bluetooth on iOS.
If it's a software switch, it's closer to a promise than a guarantee.
To add to this, I suspect the data broker industry also has an interest in increasing the legitimacy of the data they sell about anyone they can get their hands on.
I'm not sure how much more work is currently being done on a project I'd heard about in the past, but you might be interested in seeing if you can collaborate/learn from Open Source Ecology:
I don't think it'd need Balatro playthroughs to be in text form though. Google owns YouTube and has been doing automatic transcriptions of vocalized content on most videos these days, so it'd make sense that they used those subtitles, at the very least, as training data.
I only recently discovered Reticulum, only to then learn that the developer has retired from working on it. Do you know if there's still any community members carrying the torch?
