Unfortunately i do work for a targeted company (we do a lot of secret squirrel stuff) in south East Asia.

We get a lot of attacks.

I was looking at the attack and malware they inject (there is a blog post link on the notepad++ notice) which pointed out how the attack worked. Apparently they run a service called bluetoothservice.exe. I didn’t see anything like that or any the other stuff they said gets created.

But then again finding malware isn’t my bag so who knows.

Pretty sure my updates came via nanite installer so I’m hoping I wasn’t targeted.

How would you know if you updated?

My notepad++ is on 8.9.1 and I have no idea how it’s on that ver (ninite I think is where I sourced it…maybe it’s auto updating?)

I regularly open CSVs in the range of 500MB to 2GB in notepad++ without any problem…

I mean film is a family hobby. My dad spent forever building his dream sound system,

Sounds like my mother. She was a film maker, worked on a lot of big films.

So upset she decided to get rid of 60 years of speakers and gear to the local hifi shop instead of her son (and we were by no means estranged or with some weird broken relationship ie I’m leaching off of her).

Just discovered it was all gone when I spent 3 months watching her die (too late for recriminations when the cancer has adled their brain).

and I built my “fuck yeah it works” system out of his discards (I have to recognize hardly anyone falls into great sound systems the way I did but by crab god, I’m a musician if I’m going to treat anything it’s my ears). I got a decent working 5.1 system of 25 years old cones and tweeters,

Yup. Took her speaker shopping and had to watch her grimace cause all I could afford was some shitty Yamaha kit. Thanks Ma. You could have given your son something out of your vast dragons hoard. Maybe the Tanoy studio monitors that you had sitting in the spare room???

just spent some money a few years back to buy a severely outdated receiver because the one I had (have technically. still gotta clean it up and take down to the relic shoppe) was made before hdmi and was having difficulty communicating with modern devices over optical audio.

Got her outdated circa 2000, albeit, $3k Yamaha receiver because she had it as her editing den system (and she passed before she could break the room down).

We had goddam electrostatic speakers, 1 metre wide for godsake. I thought I’d be passing them down to my son and so on. But noooo she had to sell them along with the valve amps and solid state amps she built.

Sigh.

Goddam parents.

Omg this is my wife. I can only send her a single message/list. Dare to add anything on and she’ll end up coming home with a pink cowboy hat and a table tennis paddle.

I have a friend (well more of an asshole I know) and he acknowledged that they actually need people to quit within a month of signing their 12 month contract because they don’t have the space nor the capital to expand the gym in order to provide the contracted service to.

It’s just like the ISP business.

20% of users generate 80% of the traffic. If the rest of the customer base used the service at level your local ISP would collapse.

And the same with banks.

Shit. Everything is a fucking lie isn’t it

Or they fabricate cheap wireless (or wired ie optic fibre) eyes that they scatter across the Battlefield.

You could then use these systems to provide direct and indirect fire coordinates.

Updated versions of what the US scattered across Vietnam during Operation Igloo White

Shit you could probably just do seismic sensors now without any optical or microphone system and it would provide a heap of data.
