CVE-2026-69420 is a heap based buffer overflow on Windows resulting in an LPE. Couldn’t have come up with a more memey CVE for 69420 if I tried.

I just got home from a Lindsey Stirling show and I’m pretty sure I just witnessed the greatest display of athleticism I’ve ever seen in my life.
Lindsey is EVERYWHERE on stage. She’s moving around constantly, playing violin in all sorts of poses that requires insane leg strength and flexibility to do, like it’s nothing.
Then, to top it all off she PLAYS UPSIDE DOWN WHILE HANGING OFF SILKS AND ITS THE MOST BATSHIT THING IVE EVER SEEN SOMEONE DO. And she does this MULTIPLE TIMES. 30 minutes later SHES DOING IT AGAIN FROM A RING. THIS IS INSANE.

a change made request made by me, had to route to my manager, director, CISO, legal, head of infrastructure, the business contact, and GRC before being implemented. It’s all people. All the time.
And this is fundamentally, why I enjoy being at a startup more. It’s way easier to get this stuff done. There’s still buy in, but it doesn’t take a month to get it.

Remember how everyone freaked out about Microsoft’s Recall feature (spyware) in Windows 11? And Microsoft said it would be fine because it’s all processed locally?

I’m on team delete Facebook. If you can find an automated tool to delete your old posts, go for it. I’m sure there’s an archive already on it so no need to hand-delete. Given their history, I’m willing to bet they short of a GDPR (or any other region which enforces a right to be forgotten) they’ll probably archive it and you’ll have to wait till it ages out.

I just realized that when I moved over to my new account, my followed hashtags didn’t transfer over for some reason. Likely PEBKAC, but still annoying.
