Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.

You know what to do, everyone. Loomer now has her very own Pentagon Press Corps tipline. She says it's the most influential tip line in all of DC. loomered.com/tip-line/

Microsoft has warned that some systems may boot into BitLocker recovery after installing the October 2025 Windows security updates.

Haha! Another day, another Microsoft fuck up...

Microsoft, thanks for doing all you can to make this the beginning of the Era of the Linux desktop :)

@Av8rdan FYI, Metatext's successor app **Feditext** is a fairly good app to use too... It's currently in Testflight, but works well.

@BleepingComputer I think it should say "Get Patching and get free bugs"...

@celeste_42bit @BleepingComputer making actual sense on the Internet? You must be fake, sir... 😜

Don’t turn Disney/Hulu/ESPN back on either. Once they show you who they are, believe them.

Life moves fast. Blink and you might miss it. My advice: Never blink. Yes, your eyes will start to hurt. They hurt so much. Why must we do this

LLMs work on a very simple mechanism: feed the output set back as input set and blend again. If you started with 2 apples and 3 dog turds - the more you take the smooth outcome from the first blender and add it as input to the next blender, all you will end up is a smoother dog turd apple smoothie

I've put this into a more user-friendly interface so you can make your own silly QR codes.

(Watch out, they scan less well than regular QR codes so bear that in mind if you want to use one for anything important. Don't blame me if nobody who gets your flyer can visit your website.)

So, again today we get another crystal clear example of how #Bluesky is not decentralized. The company just blocked all users from an entire US state and those users are completely cut off. No other way to interact with the Bluesky network.

BECAUSE BLUESKY IS A CENTRALIZED PLATFORM.

Folks on Bluesky. There is a decentralized alternative. Just create an account on any decentralized Mastodon server. You will love it here. Promise.

#ESETresearch has discovered a zero-day vulnerability in WinRAR, exploited in the wild by Russia-aligned #RomCom
https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-research/update-winrar-tools-now-romcom-and-others-exploiting-zero-day-vulnerability/
The vulnerability, which we assigned CVE-2025-8088, allows alternate data streams to be abused to perform path traversal. Attackers can fashion a RAR archive that, when opened, drops malicious payloads into the Windows startup directory, %TEMP%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, and others.
On July 24, we alerted the WinRAR team, which released version 7.13 just six days later. We advise all users to install the latest version as soon as possible. We would also like to thank the WinRAR team for its cooperation and quick response. https://x.com/WinRAR_RARLAB/status/1950903968923591138
Other WinRAR tools for Windows, such as the command line tools, UnRAR.dll, and the portable UnRAR source code, are also vulnerable and need to be updated.
We discovered this vulnerability being used by RomCom to deliver several different backdoors. We identified three distinct execution chains involving a SnipBot variant, RustyClaw, and the Mythic agent.
This vulnerability was also exploited by another threat actor, independently discovered by the Russian cybersecurity company BI.ZONE, who claim Paper Werewolf began using CVE-2025-8088 on July 22, just a few days after RomCom did.
