    RIP Cisco (Again), Death of a Legend, AI in Cars: No | Operation Core Dump

    In this rollercoaster of an episode, we go from the lows of a 1990’s and 2000’s technology legend finally going the way of the dodo and Cisco being unable to help themselves by having another 10/10 CVE, to the highs of Apple gearing up to launch new iPhones. With a minor rant about AI in the automotive industry thrown in there for good measure. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

    Scheduled Downtime

    Having scheduled downtime to perform routine maintenance, software updates, and hardware checks can be the difference between 99.999% uptime and a headline about how your service went down. In this episode, we discuss why it’s important, what is done during it, and how it can prevent otherwise preventable issues from occurring.

    Internet Age Verification: Saving the Children or Privacy Eliminating Trojan

    Age verification laws are less about protecting minors and more about creating comprehensive surveillance infrastructure that threatens everyone's digital privacy. They are often marketed with the stereotypical “think of the children” argument to goad people into believing that there aren’t any ulterior motives to their request. In this episode, we look at exactly why age verification laws for websites are a bad idea and are just asking for large-scale cybersecurity incidents and highly sensitive data leaks to happen.

    Bootcamps vs. Computer Science Degrees

    The tech industry is changing faster than traditional education can keep up, and coding bootcamps are emerging as an alternative to four-year degrees.

    The Ethics of Autonomous Systems

    We tend to believe that technology is not neutral, but this is not the case. Every algorithm, every piece of decision logic, every heuristic, is developed by humans with their own opinions, biases, and beliefs. We as software developers, whether consciously or unconsciously, embed our values into the technology and software we create. In this episode, we take a look at how this can manifest and some of the ethical decisions that go into designing autonomous systems.

    The Failings of Agile

    Agile is a mindset, not a methodology. That is one of the most common things teams get wrong when they try to be “Agile.” They focus too much on the process that they miss the forest for the trees. In this episode, we break down the original point of Agile, some common myths, and things people often get wrong about it.

    Slow Clap for Google, Cisco’s Back at it Again, Microsoft Embraces Dystopia | Operation Core Dump

    It was another rough week for some of the biggest tech companies. Being forced to pay millions after a lawsuit, deja vu of having yet another 10/10 CVE, massive layoffs, and the embrace of dystopia.
