I saw an ad for Oura that made me chuckle the other day. It said “Oura - the original and most trusted ring” or something like that, and I thought “oh there are other ones to choose from, that are likely just as good and cheaper? Thanks for letting me know!”

Yay Lemmy.world, you kicked yourself in the dick, congrats.

We just set up a matrix server today and it works great, it’s very cool and neat, loving it so far!

Ah cool I didn’t know that, thank you!

You gotta be registered on an instance that allows users to create them, I think Lemmy.world does. Alternatively can ask the admins at your instance (or another one) to make one for you and they might.

Also try to use the Container feature in Firefox. I have acting Google all contained in one subset for example, so none of their tabs gets a view on my other tabs.

Hmm that’s an impressive development! I’ll subscribe to your world news sub to give it a try. It’s heavy on UK sources and Al Jazeera, which is ok by me but what’s the makeup of your feed derived from? Can you share the method so others could do our own?

Their community link for World News if it saves you a click: !news_world@lemmy.link

I just upvoted you from Memmy on Lemmy, it’s nice!

Wow, just looked over the topics of your podcast and these all sound really up my alley and interesting for sure. Will give one a listen today right after finish some work, thanks!

Great qualities, I’ll give it a try thank you!

I like the sound of it! Kagi is working well for me, but will consider trying this out very soon.

How do you feel about paid search like Kagi? I’ve been using it and think it’s great. No tracking, apparently.

Hold up - can anyone else read many of the comments in this thread and notice that many seem to be bots, all repeating comments by other users but slightly changed as if by AI and automated?

The commentary in this thread reads as very unnatural. (I agree with the skepticism of Google, it’s not that, it’s the syntax of the thread).

It’s the “unknown unknowns” that are really scary, beyond the short term ability it’s easy to understand now. All the ability extrapolated, layered and multiplied.

Dude what the f, the pandemic was real as heck.

Adding on to the other person saying “to be fair”, you gotta sign a waiver when doing nearly anything with any risk: renting a moped, scuba diving, horseback riding, zip lining, any random thing has risks.

Yes, works well, no issue.

Awesome will check it out, thank you!

Malware intended to spread on USB drives is unintentionally infecting networked storage devices, according to infosec vendor Checkpoint.

The software nasty comes from a group called Camaro Dragon that Checkpoint’s researchers on Thursday suggested conduct campaigns similar to those run by China’s Mustang Panda and LuminousMoth attack gangs.

Checkpoint regards Camaro Dragon as most interested in Asian targets – its code includes features designed to hide it from SmadAV, an antivirus solution popular in the region.

Even so, the firm first spotted the gang’s activities in Europe!

“Patient Zero in the malware infection was identified as an employee who had participated in a conference in Asia,” Checkpoint’s researchers wrote. "He shared his presentation with fellow attendees using his USB drive. Unfortunately, one of his colleagues had an infected computer, so his own USB drive unknowingly became infected as a result.

“Upon returning to his home hospital in Europe, the employee introduced the infected USB drive to the hospital’s computer systems, which led the infection to spread.”

The plot thickens! We will be watching his career with great interest.
