"Air carrier facility" by Paul Chadeisson

This is some seriously awesome concept #art

Računari, a Yugoslavian computer magazine, July-August issue, 1989. This one featuring OS/2

These covers are always so over the top

I’m not sure what style this is, but it looks very #cyberpunk

Weird confession:
Part of the reason I moved my site to a hidden service is because I didn’t want to think of a new domain name for it or bother with a web host

And setting up an old laptop as a server required the least number of steps out of bed

I’m comfortable with my laziness

@BassMumbler It was for an art project! I swear!!

@rotatingskull It is indeed, but I’ve yet to meet an office manager who would call it that

If you ask the person who did all that work in Excel, you’ll likely find a hacker who thinks they aren’t one due to a conspicuous absence of a balaclava

There was a TV show in 1984 called "Turbo Teen"

It featured a teenager who accidentally got caught in a government experiment and ended up being able to turn into a sports car

Yes, really

I still don't know what I'm doing

The biggest difference between me today and me 20 years ago is that I'm OK with not knowing what I'm doing

In countries most optimistic about 2018, China is way ahead at 88% and Japan is all the way at the bottom at 44%

What’s going on in Japan? I know there’s lot happening under the surface and it’s not all Sunshine and Lollipops over there, but I didn’t think it was this bleak

There’s some social and existential metaphor here. Can’t quite find a way to express it

TIL:

“If tea spread to your country by sea, you call it ‘tea’. If by land, you call it chai.

(*This is because the ports of Fujian and Taiwan use the coastal pronunciation ‘te’, whereas Mandarin uses chá.)”

More good news from Intel

https://press.f-secure.com/2018/01/12/intel-amt-security-issue-lets-attackers-bypass-login-credentials-in-corporate-laptops/

“In practice, it can give an attacker complete control over an individual’s work laptop, despite even the most extensive security measures.”

“The essence of the security issue is that setting a BIOS password, which normally prevents an unauthorized user from booting up the device or making low-level changes to it, does not prevent unauthorized access to the AMT BIOS extension.“

Convenience is starting to look like a bad idea
