Friday Squid Blogging: See-Through Squid
Doryteuthis opalescens is known as the market squid, and was critical in the recent squid RNA research.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

I definitely have no verifiable source; there is a dumb meme going around claiming how any Wi-Fi router can be used to image people inside a room (the concept appeared in a Batman movie way back). It is very non-specific, like; “…so what scientists did…”, then of course “…using AI…” (somebody else noted this hook). I do not want to repeat the meme source. Otherwise, we might amplify the noise-to-boredom ratio.

@ Clive, ALL
As I expected would happen months ago, Twiiter broke nitter.
Threadreaderapp compile function is probably broken too now.

You can see two different stack traces but the end result in an unexpected EOF.

“Data in flight” vs. “Data At Rest”:
New Jersey cops must apply for a wiretap order — not just a warrant — for near-continual snooping on suspects’ Facebook accounts, according to a unanimous ruling by that US state’s Supreme Court.

Seems this sort of loophole in the law is going to be exploited more and more, since all data is at rest at some point in some timeframe. J.

Not directly related to security.
I have been impressed by a book called ‘This is how you lose a time war by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
It uses many of the discussed topics within the fictional novella, and might be of interest to your readers.
It won the Hugo and Nebula, and other awards.

“turn over access to a user’s future posts”
Objection, invokes violation of the timeline.

Indeed, and that is one of my major objections.
I don’t have a problem with the fundamental idea that the government, in order to enforce the law, has certain powers. What does furiously piss me off, though, is that there’s no serious consequences for filing bogus warrants and wiretap orders.
So Detective Alice files whatever, and Judge Bob signs it, and off it goes. Maybe it’ll be vacated ten years from now? Who cares? Well, Charlie, who has spent those last ten years in jail because the cops themselves broke the law might care. Yes, getting exonerated is nice – not getting incarcerated the first time is better.
And even if so, Alice doesn’t care. She’s not going to jail for writing a bogus warrant, and neither is Bob.
Only Charlie has to do time, and maybe if he’s lucky he’ll get reimbursed for his time – from the taxpayers, not Alice nor Bob.
Circling back, yes, that does violate the timeline, and it was stomped upon. But there weren’t any meaningful consequences for the people who wrote it in the first place – only the guys who got stuck with it.

You have violated Robot’s Rules of Order and must leave the future immediately.
