Yesterday evening someone leaked PlaySation 5 ROM keys online. Emulation nerds are going schizo because this could mean we have PlayStation 5 emulation technology, ability to run non-PlayStation 5 games, etc.

tl;dr Sony executives on New Years eve

wHat aRe yOu dOiNG fOr nEw YeArS

Hello,

I saw some nerds online discuss being alone on New Years, or New Years eve, or major holidays in general.

I am someone who spent many major holidays alone. Now I am married and have a baby boy.

While I love my family with all my heart, I do sort of miss the days of being able to have alone time, nerd out, lock in, and enjoy the sweet sound of silence.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

If you were alone these holidays, please know that I envy you. Being alone is cool and badass.

Ok, I love you. Have a good night.

Happy 2026

To celebrate 2026 I am offering everyone one (1) picture of a kitty cat.

Cheers

This is 24 year old Sydney Marquez. She is a missing person. She was last seen December, 11th, 2025 in Houston, Texas, United States.

Detectives have attempted to reset and/or retrieve one time use credentials for her social media to gather more information on her case.

The accounts MFA code go to an old phone number the missing person no longer owns. The owner of the new phone number told detectives they will only share the MFA code if given $1,000.

Is it true I live in my Mother's basement? Yes, it's true.

Every night my mommy gives me kissies and tucks me into my racecar themed bed.

Is your bed a racecar? No, it's not.

Don't hate me cause you ain't me, dawg (she makes me cookies every night)

Made big money in 2025. Haters will say this is AI

> be human
> make modern day library of Alexandria
> all knowledge of humanity in history of forever at your finger tips
> use it for porn
> use it to kill each other

> be human
> make artificial intelligence
> taught basically everything we can possibly find
> can help with basic problems, to complex programming
> can intelligently modify photos, videos, code, sound
> use it for porn
> use it to kill each other

> be human
> make robots
...

What will happen next?

Think of how much storage is being used to save all the AI slop videos produced

Now think of how many pictures of cats that could be used for

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella writes people need to stop focusing on AI sophistication vs. AI slop and instead focus on what AI can do for people, as he writes, "AI is a cognitive amplifier"

Do NOT call AI slop. AI is a COGNITIVE AMPLIFIER

2026 starting off strong as developer from a large "Food Delivery App" goes full whistleblower.

Unfortunately, based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine how accurate the information is because no additional supporting evidence is provided.

Do I believe these claims? I'm unsure.

Would it surprise me a large company would steal from delivery drivers and lie to consumers? No

tl;dr doesn't sound real from programming perspective. Conversely, as far as evil corporation perspective, it sounds real

So much crazy shit happens in the cybersecurity ecosystem every week, sometimes every day, that a 2025 retrospective would be difficult.

tldr big hacks, big drama, big schizo nerds, for 52 weeks straight then the year changed

tldr tldr cat in a computer

Big drama in the information security political ecosystem today.

Shlomo Kramer, dubbed the "Godfather of Israeli cybersecurity" appeared on CNBC today to share his thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and misinformation campaigns.

Kramer, co-founder of CheckPoint, CATO networks, and Imperva, with an estimated net worth of $2,200,000,000, stated bad actors are using artificial intelligence or deceive people on social media.

Mr. Kramer states the United States government must now limit the First Amendment, the right to free speech, in order to protect free speech in the United States. Mr. Kramer states he believes the United States government must monitor every individual on social media, verify who they are as a person, and "take control of what they're saying".

Mr. Kramer went on to state to journalists that social media must be transparent, like a public town square, which would disallow bad actors from abusing anonymity to spread misinformation. Additionally, he asserts the United States government should assign ranking to individuals based on how authentic their posts are.

Mr. Kramer did not explicitly state what is defined as a bad actor, or misinformation, however he continued on to state he believes the Chinese government has made an intelligent decision to control the narrative on social media to stabilize the countries inner core.

Mr. Kramer notes it's difficult to determine what is real and not real on platforms such as TikTok, hence the government must take control.

It should be noted that this cybersecurity policy ... suggestion, or idea, was met with vitriolic condemnation across the United States political spectrum.

It deeply angered United States citizens as well as politicians.

When Microsoft published Copilot to the Windows desktop at mass-scale I unironically gave it a shot.

First, I poked it with a big stick to determine what it does under the hood (I used ILSpy to reverse engineer it).

Second, I used it as I would any other LLM.

My biggest criticism to Copilot is that it is network based. All messages, responses, data transformation, etc. are stored in the Microsoft cloud. Hence, using Copilot is LAGGY and SLOW. My machine has 32GB of RAM, an NVIDIA 2080, (can't remember the CPU), and a 1TB NVME.

My computer isn't super 1337 compared to newer hardware on my the market, but by all reasonable standards my computer is pretty rock solid. Despite these specs, it is deemed insufficient for Copilot, thus everything is handled on Microsoft's side.

Unrelated note, when I was a teenager my computer had 2GB of RAM and 128gb SATA and I thought technology had peaked. It was surreal.

Anyway

Using Copilot is slow. Ridiculously slow. Attempting to scroll up to review previous messages also invokes web requests, thus ... it is slow... Slopya Sloptella, if you want people to use your product you must

1. Make it not slow as fuck.
2. Don't force it on people.
3. I hate you need it now for Visual Studio Intelligence
4. You're now Slopya Sloptella, CEO of Slopsoft

Intellisense*, hehe typo hehe

This is a valid use of AI. This is a cognitive amplifier.

I don't care what anyone says. This video makes me smile. It is very silly.
