Part of my day job is maintaining and expanding a Win32 / MFC / C++ / C app I originally wrote over 25 years ago. It works well, a couple thousand people use it every day and say nice things, and it’s backwards compatible to XP, which some of our clients still have.

This week, I started exploring a re-write, using modern Windows languages and frameworks, with the idea than surely — surely — things have become significantly less complex in the last couple of decades.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, no.

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.

I never thought of the knight being an anti-queen before now.

Only those who have been here will understand 😔

Evening mograph. I was mostly done building a new node to do something when I realized my existing stuff already did it. Behold.... uh, flying wireframes. Shades of old screensavers, as usual.

Gallup reports that favorability of Russia is lower than it has been at any time during the 34 years that they have been tracking it.

"I've actually seen people who aren't programmers, and they're not software engineers, and they've never done security research and they are having a whale of a time with this, because you can be a hacker now just typing English into a box"

The line “Disney regrets that it has come to this” may be the single most terrifying line ever committed to a press release.

Google has just updated its 2FA Authenticator app and added a much-needed feature: the ability to sync secrets across devices.

TL;DR: Don't turn it on.

The new update allows users to sign in with their Google Account and sync 2FA secrets across their iOS and Android devices.

We analyzed the network traffic when the app syncs the secrets, and it turns out the traffic is not end-to-end encrypted. As shown in the screenshots, this means that Google can see the secrets, likely even while they’re stored on their servers. There is no option to add a passphrase to protect the secrets, to make them accessible only by the user.

Why is this bad?

Every 2FA QR code contains a secret, or a seed, that’s used to generate the one-time codes. If someone else knows the secret, they can generate the same one-time codes and defeat 2FA protections. So, if there’s ever a data breach or if someone obtains access .... 🧵
