I think that many WOs will find the following story interesting - namely, it is about a hacker who was extradited from Finland to the US, so even though he allegedly used sophisticated methods of concealing his online identity, his OS - Windows gave him away.  In short, if you use Windows OS, know that there is a system called GDID that collects all possible data about you (including your real IP address) and sends everything to Microsoft servers, from where all these data are obviously used by various agencies.

What is interesting in the story is that all the data can be used for the purpose of identifying all cryptocurrency users with the wallets they use and the amounts they keep in them, and I believe that the tax authorities would be very interested in this data.

The breaking news in April was the arrest of a 19 year old guy in Finland, Peter Stokes as member of the hacker group Scattered Spider. He has now been extradited to the United States, where he will face a federal trial for defrauding American citizens in the fields of cryptocurrency and social engineering/psychology.

The latest update of this days is that Stokes used sophisticated systems for connections he believed to be secure: for example, in addition to a VPN service, he also used a authomatic continuous IP rotation system with three IP addresses constantly appeared and disappeared between Estonia, thailand and the United state, and he also used Ngrok to further encrypt the traffic.

I'm not here to debate about Stoke arrest, if it's right or not, but I talking about the GDID windows system which made possible to identify Stokes and his arrest.

.....
I am not even watching it any longer.

Well England hasn't
Been knocked out yet so you know
I'm still watching it

Game is full of surprises, do you know that some people feels that England will be knocked out immediately Norway scored, and some people who are supporting England began to leave a views centre, but at last England won, what I'm saying in essence, is that game can change to be opposite, and we dont need to lose hope in game until the final whistle is blown

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina dies at age 71. RIP

His death comes just days after he visited Ukraine and met with the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky

Last Photo

 If you had said Mitch McConnell, it wouldn't have been surprising but this is almost unbelievable.  I suppose the drinking caught up with him but 71 is quite young... and the timing is fodder for conspiracy theorists.

RIP Senator

xhomerx10 - Yes, I agree. When I first heard about it I thought as you did. I'm not aware he had a drinking problem, and I can't imagine there is any valid conspiracy surrounding his sudden cardiac arrest...   Age 71 is still young enough for many more years...

I was less of a fan of this particular politician than just about any of them, but I do wish his family, especially his sister who I am certain, loved him deeply, the best during a hard time.

There are already conspiracy theories. And the timing of his death is interesting. He had visited a drone factory in Ukraine within 24 hours.

I believe this image is real and from this most recent trip, but who knows nowadays?



Of course, the most likely thing is the most likely situation... 😁

At 71, and particularly, if, as it has been rumored, he was a somewhat heavy drinker, sitting on a long flight back to the states from the opposite side of the world could have caused a clot to accumulate... deep vein thrombosis.  And then sometime, upon coming home, he might have seen that clot cause a heart attack or a stroke.

Far more likely than Vladimir Putin sending one of his secret poisoning agents to poke him or him being in one of the drone facilities that was bombed by Russia yesterday. Those are both current conspiracy theories.

cAPS - I hope the cause of his death is determined to be natural Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

I am nearly certain no matter what the actual cause of death was, it will be claimed a cardiac or circulatory event.  And I believe very strongly that that is indeed the truth.

One reason, I think, some of the conspiracy theories will probably have legs is because the US would be most likely incentivized to lie about his death if it had been caused via some Russian angle.  Because if that was the case it would have an extremely high probability of causing direct conflict between Russia and the United States, which I don't think we want.

It may not be clear what I'm saying. I don't think the conspiracy theories are true currently.  But they're the good kind because they're going to be hard to falsify and there are clear motives for the cover-up were they to be true.

Leave good memories and try to improve yourself with every passing day. I always say that Philipma is 70 years old and still active in 70+ domains.

Just don't die before you actually die.  

Anecdotally, GLP-1 medications are great for diabetics and for diabetics, I believe that these could be life-extending meds.
Anecdotally, it seems that in US, peeps slightly prefer Zepbound/Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) over Ozempic/Wegovy, albeit Wegovy has a pill option now, if someone dislikes injections.

Tirzepatide affects both GLP-1 and GIP and Ozempic-only GLP-1.
Also, anecdotally, the weight loss (if you expect one) is faster with tirzapetide and according to some, there is no or less muscle loss on it.
Finally, these meds also cause a slight uptick in testosterone in men, which is not bad by itself

If i had diabetes (I don't), GLP-1 agonist is one area where spending bitcoin savings could be considered (not an advice), if it is expensive in your jurisdiction, just don't fall for cheap generics, imho.

EDIT: is anyone's captcha so organic chemical-looking?

Best thing about your post is that you don't have diabetes and I hope you won't develop it in rest of your life. Stay healthy man.

My doctor advised me metformin 500mg when I was diagnosed with diabetes with Hba1c 9, five years ago from today.

I don't take any medication to control my diabetes but try to control it through my diet. My Hba1c on Jun 1, 2026 was 5.7 and that suggests I am doing good in controlling my diabetes.

I try to avoid refined carbs (though I now have them very often), the thing that is helping me in lowering my blood sugar is 2.5 km run followed by few push-ups everyday.

Its possible to control your blood sugar through diet. If this strategy is not working then one must go for medication.

No, it's not sputum.
It's just excess hopium.
Yes, we're retarded!

They're not abandoned,
We just don't want to move them,
And you can't do shit!

Am I seeing right?
Beautiful auroras, Jay!
Pleasantly surprised.

Rest in peace, Bonnie.
Total eclipse of our hearts.
Your voice will live on.

You slowly exhale,
Then take up the trigger slack,
Then gently squeeze it.

Am I autistic?
Many are, but few know it.
Those who do, prosper!

Slow up, slower down.
We've all been there, and done that.
Don't jerk it. Bull's eye!
