  1. Most criminals have a specific type of cleverness, but not intelligence. If they were smart people, they wouldn't do the crimes in the first place.

    I dealt with a low-tech breach at one of the hospitals I worked for. The criminal worked in HIM, and used paper and pencil to note specific info about specific types of patients. Since they worked in HIM, it was expected for them to view many medical records in a day and no app detects paper/pencil, so quite clever so far.

    Ultimately, they used this info to file false tax returns to steal the refunds.

    The problem? They filed 881 false tax returns annnnnnd used the same address for all of them. DOH.

    They were busted/arrested and off to jail they went.

    Clever, right until the end, then abysmally stupid.

  2. Smart move.
  3. Macs will never be cheaper than Windows machines over anything longer than a flash sale by Apple.
  4. 100% with you. I miss those times.. High-5 to a fellow 300bauder!
  5. I believe this is an Pollyanna take on AI. There is nothing about humans that tells us humans will bring AI to fruition for the other humans and a mountain of evidence showing how it will be used to abuse humans instead....for profits/power/whatever horse shit the masters of the universe have decided upon.
