Big news in Italy around the government misusing Paragon, and Paragon ended up cutting the contract citing misuse/ethical violations.
I commend Paragon on this one, the misuse was pretty blatant and as Italian sad to see. This is how the industry should react to misuse!

Here's the slides to my PoC 2024 keynote "An insider perspective on the offensive industry": https://webdl.nso.group/OffIndustry-PDF.pdf
My apologies for the delay in publishing these.

Read something terrifying today: ‘In idiocracy the simpleton president listened to someone smarter than him. We would be lucky to be in a scenario like that but the COVID response and many many other cases already showed that is not the case.’

The offensive industry loves making shit up: the new rumor making the rounds is that my girlfriend works at NSO. As a matter of fact, my girlfriend is currently unemployed and looking for work as an event manager in Europe, so let me know if you come across interesting openings. Her only experience in the security industry is coming with me to a few conferences over the past year to look for work and learn more about this niche.

it’s even worse frankly: they voted for more inflation in order to have less inflation. Seems like Americans don’t know about ‘past results don’t predict future performance’. But yeah Europe has been asleep at the wheel for too damn long.

i mean it just makes very little sense financially too, rather than just psychological. Can sell call options instead at that point, if you’re gonna hold until that very price is hit. At least you make some premium out of it.

for media playback I gave up on DLNA pretty much immediately, and happily run Jellyfin now. If this is your goal, I can only speak good things about JF.

I find it funny that a report like this makes mention of Dataflow as a ‘spyware vendor’ (we are not, in fact! we only do research, and thus count as a ‘supplier’, a category they even bothered to distinguish only to not use it for us) and part of an ‘Italian cluster’ (we do not work with or have any control from any Italian company or related party in that list at all, and basically blacklisted the whole Italian private industry).

@npub17wv…nag2 i literally can’t learn any other way, and I’ve never understood why scientific education prefers dumping ‘facts and equations’ rather than going through the thought process of those who discovered the very things. Learning intuition around things is by far more valuable than memorising equations.
