Mostly Security Jon King and Eric Wuehler

Eric performs Digital Spring Cleaning and Jon mostly works outside. Open source groups are worried about other 'XZ Style' hacks, Roku announces a second security incident, LastPass employee is deepfaked, and LG TV vulnerabilities. Don't expose your TVs to the internet folks. For fun we have an amazing article about deep sea cable repair ships and a performance by Drum Tao.

Eric pulls out the BBQ, taunting the Rain Gods. Jon checks on his bees and deserves a third wire. Hackers lure folks with AI promises from hijacked social accounts while a software supply chain narrowly avoids a big oopsie. Eric dips his toes in hydroponic herb gardening while Jon eyes smart contact lenses (and narrowly avoids an April Fools oopsie).

Eric gets back home from vacation and Jon (tries to) defy range anxiety in his new car. Google has a proposed settlement for their harvesting of incognito browsers and the big AT&T breach has 'encrypted' PINs but are easily reversed. The first Neuralink transplant recipient pulls an all nighter playing Civ6, and we (may) have a record number of bee colonies in the US.

Eric and Jon chat about vacations, Jon looks for whales in Washington while Eric searches for license plates in Utah. Eric finds 3 million hotel room doors can be opened while Jon finds a company playing boths sides. Eric discovers he's a Lightweaver while Jon is an Elsecaller who also likes a whale museums. [NOTE: Eric's travel mic was having issues - sorry for the audio!]

Pi day, wasps about, new 3d printer, Dune 2, and a bee update. Stroustrup objects to the characterization of (modern) C++ as unsafe (but are any projects in C++ fully modern??), Apex Legends tourney participants forced to cheat, swappers come for the eSIMs, and your connected car is probably selling your driving behavior data to insurance companies. For fun we have a sick tulip identification and eradication robot and the Voyager 1 was POKEd in early March and is returning its FDS memory for analysis.

Eric survives a birthday at Benihana, laments the inability to game the system and looks forward to building a new 3D Printer. Jon is giddily gearing up for bee season and educates Eric on Yellowjackets. Roku discovers what its user accounts are worth on the dark web and Jon needs to update his QNAP. Again. The British Library is under-appraised the consequences of a cyber attack. Learning to program a computer is similar to learning a spoken language and Jon shares plans on how to build a Langstroth Hive.
