Ohnana

@MarkHulkalo no.

Mark Hulkalo

Yeah, I don't think I can handle that

It's pretty depressing seeing people so hopeless

David Freitag

@Ohnana Woah what happened?

Ohnana

@DavidFreitag been trying to track someone down on the internet. posted a suicide note in a few places

David Freitag

@Adi You'll never know! MUAHAHAHA!

Mark Hulkalo

Hope we can do some good...

Simon

It sounds like a hugeeeee call for attention to me, someone who's desperate.

AKA I don't believe that she took the pills.

Mark Hulkalo

I wouldn't want to take the chance

9:10 PM

@Iszi - my session did just drop

Simon

@MarkHulkalo No, absolutely not because now is also the perfect opportunity to offer help to the person.

Ohnana

well, i talked to the local police department, so there's not much else

Simon

Yep.

Also I like how she says she's not intelligent or anything while she has a much better grammar than many other Americans.

Mark Hulkalo

"a much better grammar"

Simon

ARE YOU CALLING ME OUT ON MY ENGLISH?

Mark Hulkalo

9:13 PM

YES I AM

Simon

Well that's too bad because... things.

Rоry McCune

@Simon we didn't like to, but now you've raised it, there's a couple of words you're not getting quite right like.................................... Doughnut :D

Mark Hulkalo

It's okay though, you're a french Canadian. You can't help it. =D

@RоryMcCune Nice edit.

Simon

@RоryMcCune pls I spell that word with exactitude and pride.

Rоry McCune

Well, do you remember the serial killer episode?

This guy talks about how he wants to die, and is depressed and everything

The nurse talks him out of it, and gives him a new chance to live...

He leaves the hospital before the FBI can get there. Turns out he's a serial killer who eats his victims

Simon

9:17 PM

Sounds like a typical CSI episode.

Mark Hulkalo

The post kind of reminded me about it.

Mark Hulkalo

@RоryMcCune Maybe

Oh snap

Simon

@RоryMcCune I just came home, give me a chance!

Mark Hulkalo

Simon

But I did listen to it again.

Ohnana

9:20 PM

Simon

If it's nothing positive, don't tell us.

Rоry McCune

Mark Hulkalo

@Ohnana What happened?

Ohnana

9:23 PM

@MarkHulkalo i was reacting to rory's sick burn

Mark Hulkalo

oh yeah, that was good :)

jrg

Still no new post... this is one of the longer pauses. :\

Simon

Phew.

Ohnana

guys, I've stopped researching. the only thing i can do is wait for a callback

Mark Hulkalo

Yeah, there isn't much we can do right now

jrg

9:24 PM

Yeah.... :(

Rоry McCune

@Ohnana I think okcupid+skype profilenames+ that tgchan connection is all there is for now...

instead lets look at pictures of dogs covered in carrots with bunny ears on

Simon

Is that a metaphor for the amount of weens a Playmate gets?

Ohnana

excellent idea

Rоry McCune

@Simon no , no it's not

Simon

Mark Hulkalo

Jump all over it, imho.

jrg

And if you've got an Android, there is a version too.

Rory Alsop

@jrg It really works. I wasn't sceptical, much, but it is soooo lovely

Mark Hulkalo

I know you can set up a fake USB-charging station and do it through USB, but I don't know about the wall socket.

@RоryMcCune hey, get a room!

Rоry McCune

@Gilles :D sounds like a good room!

Rory Alsop

9:29 PM

@Gilles thanks for that link - the maths makes sense to me now. I still don't pretend to understand it all, but I get the gist

David Freitag

@Gilles I should go in that room and fill it with camel spiders and millipedes.

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune think it was the Aarthi room, wasn't it

@DavidFreitag you'd rapidly get banned

Ohnana

i should make a chat bot

Rory Alsop

it's very serious

Gilles

@DavidFreitag you want to get banned?

David Freitag

9:30 PM

@RoryAlsop Hahaha

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop ahh I didn't know that , but would make sense :)

Ohnana

posts tons of cute

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune she got upset at the spiders and creepy things pictures

David Freitag

@Gilles Everyone enjoys a decent hammering every once in a while.

jrg

There is a room just for Owls...

Q: Can malware be transmitted via a USB charger plugged into a wall socket?

I have a smart phone that I often plug into a wall socket for charging via a small adapter that rectifies the AC to DC power and transforms the voltage from line (120V or 240V) to 5 V DC. Standard stuff. I am concerned that if there is broadband on the power lines, for example powerline etherne...

@RoryAlsop Thanks. So probably not just me.

wtf

Simon

@RoryAlsop Indeed!

@RoryAlsop some quality dad-like suggestions for you here... imgur.com/gallery/nqF8D

Mark Hulkalo

You can

@RоryMcCune that second to last one is sort of equivalent to what I did at LCY that time

Ohnana

Mark Hulkalo

@RоryMcCune Good idea. I use the typewriter corn-on-the-cob method myself.

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop how well did it end for you?

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune I was allowed on my plane, and they looked very confused. In a 'these aren't the droids you're looking for' kind of way

Mark Hulkalo

If you did that in America, you'd be in gitmo having a tubesteak sandwich

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop well I guess at LCY they're generally used to nice business-people...

Rory Alsop

9:39 PM

@MarkHulkalo All I did, actually, was refuse the sub-mm wave scanner, which you aren't allowed to do in the UK (well, you are, but the result is that you don't get to fly)

Ohnana

@RoryAlsop oh lawd

Rory Alsop

But I had a couple of hours to kill

so I thought I'd have some fun

Mark Hulkalo

I go through that scanner all the time

Rory Alsop

really baffled them

Oh, me too - I just decided I'd have a reason not to

So I said I didn't fancy it that day

Mark Hulkalo

Thank you, TSA, for keeping me safe using your milimeter peter wave scattering xrays

....I mean milimeter wave

Rory Alsop

9:40 PM

they had to get two staff to search all my stuff and chat to me for a half hour

I had a fun time being mildly obstructive

but not actually aggressive or too annoying

jrg

So a friend was flying - spread out, and he decided to flip them the bird because he had a few hours to kill.

Left hand, "Sir, there's a problem with your left forearm. We're going to scan again"

Ohnana

lmao

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop did you get any references to "security theatre" in :)

jrg

Right hand, "Sir, the problem has moved to your right forearm. Lets try this one more time before we pat you down"

Both, "Sir, the problem seems to have resolved itself. Carry on."

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune oh, yes. Also the consultancy piece that $Big4 did for UK airports on what was and wasn't security...

Mark Hulkalo

9:41 PM

That's baffling that they'd let you on the plane

Rory Alsop

@MarkHulkalo I'm a polite chap

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop heh, nice ..

Rory Alsop

plus I was obviously just being a **** to mess with them

and not actually a threat

Mark Hulkalo

Ha

Alright, time to go home

jrg

So uh, my problem is that if I do that, I don't think I could keep a straight face.

A: Can malware be transmitted via a USB charger plugged into a wall socket?

There is nothing stopping an attacker from putting a powerline ethernet transceiver as well as a USB-enabled microcontroller into a USB charger. This would allow them to communicate with the charger in the hope to offload some malware onto a smartphone plugged into that port. However, such a devi...

@jrg just tell me it's not the kind of present you'd expect @Simon to get someone... actually I should probably apologise to his donut in advance

seeing as that's almost inevitably what she'll be getting...

jrg

@RоryMcCune Given my limited interactions with @Simon, I can say that he'd give it to someone.

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune You say that like she won't enjoy it.

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag yeah I dunno women can be funny like that, no idea why

@RоryMcCune Well at least it's an upgrade from @Simon

It'd get a good laugh out of her for sure.
