Top Story

Hackers took advantage of the confusion around an update to OpenSea's smart contracts to launch a phishing attack and steal NFTs worth between $0 and $200 million. (The Verge)

Apparently they managed to make $1.7 million in real crypto before being caught at it and locked out. The NFTs can easily be rendered untradeable and worthless, but once sold the cryptocurrency is harder to block.

So the ALV (Average Laundering Value) of the NFTs - the imaginary hyper-inflated prices they were listed for - was around $200 million, the thieves actually made off with $1.7 million in ETH, and the remaining stolen NFTs are now worth absolutely nothing.
Here's how it went down translated into non-crypto terms:

1. The Open Seas Zoo was planning on transferring $200 million worth of extremely rare monkeys to a new secure location in a U-Haul with security features and GPS tracking.
2. The thieves stole an identical truck and added removable U-Haul decals to make it look exactly like the real thing.
3. On the night of the transfer, they parked their U-Haul right behind the Zoo one and overpowered the driver.
4. They then directed the monkey wranglers to fill their truck with monkeys.
5. The original U-Haul was ostentatiously driven off, breaking the speed limit and getting caught on camera before being abandoned in an open field where it would be quickly tracked and found.
6. Meanwhile the decals were stripped off the fake U-Haul and it was driven sedately from the crime scene and parked under a disused railway bridge where it wouldn't be found.
7. The thieves now laid low for a few weeks while the police traced the real U-Haul but found no sign of the monkeys.
8. A month later after the fuss had settled down the thieves could return to the stashed truck at their leisure.
9. This is all your fault, Brian.
10. You can have your monkeys back, guys.
These crypto enthusiasts are idiots. (CNBC)

Tech News

I have two lights now on my fiber internet box. Yesterday it had one; it's supposed to have three. Progress, I guess.
I also have the new phone, a new SIM card on a 120GB plan instead of a 2GB plan, and probably a 400GB microSD card. I say probably because I accidentally bought it from a third-party vendor when ordering from Amazon, something you should never ever do for SD cards and USB drives. It's probably real though. If it's fake, it's a very good fake. I've bought a dozen or so SanDisk cards and it looks 100% legit.

The Samsung A52s is very close in specs to the Oppo A91 I already have - same 2400x1080 AMOLED screen, just 0.1" bigger, same camera layout, same 128GB storage - but has an A78 core instead of A73. It's about 140% faster according to benchmarks, and by far the fastest Android device I own. Will be interesting to play with it.
San Francisco mayor London Breed also wants to flush workers who have fled their offices back into the city. (SF Chronicle)

In her case it is rather more literally a shithole.
AMD's new Radeon 660M RDNA2 integrated graphics outperforms Intel's fastest Iris Xe offering in most benchmarks. (Tom's Hardware)

On the one hand, it's not a lot faster than Intel's best integrated graphics.

On the other hand, this is the cut-down version with 6 graphics cores. The full version has 12 cores and isn't too far behind dedicated GTX 1060 and 1650 desktop cards. (WCCFTech)
Yet another thunderstorm rolling in this evening, but at least this one isn't directly on top of me.

At least in software I can just sigh and deploy to older, crappier, but still working hardware.

Designing hardware in 2022 pic.twitter.com/LP91dlzL10
— stacksmashing (@ghidraninja) February 20, 2022
Speaking of older crappier but still working hardware, 2.82TB of backups transferred so far. I could reduce that way down with some cleanup effort, but never have the time.

Compression and dedup on the new backup server reduce the actual storage used to 1.67TB.

Also, hard drives are really slow when you have 100 million files.

My guess would be: Small town cop "SWAT" team member given the offer to go to the city and fuck up some protestors. The protestor isn't human, he is criminal scum and deserves every bit of what the cop is giving because he didn't follow orders. Just like that old lady who nearly broke the ankle of a proud police horse by getting her body entangled underneath its feet. She needed a few more stomps by the police as she writhed in pain, dying in the street.

She is literally confused. Never having had a job, or having created one, she has no idea how work works.

50 We watched the final Daniel Craig Bond film, No Time to Die, this weekend. I'm not sure what to think of it -- it's unlike any (serious) Bond film ever released, for sure. There is some PC/SJW/Woke stuff, true, and there are scenes that are a bit talky, which contributed to the movie's nearly 3-hour run time. In some scenes, I can imagine Fleming writhing in his grave at such speeches coming from his character. But . . . overall it's well done. There are surprises I don't want to give away, so I'll leave it at that.

92 I only found out yesterday that the Canadian Parliament has been suppressed for the past two years. So, liquor stores are "essential" but Parliament is not.

94 Sundance nailed it. The wag the dog play acting is useless, however, as 75% of Americans are unaware or don't care and the remaining 25% have forever lost the ability to take our government seriously

95 So how about the component shortages, eh?

The ripples from the authoritarian madness continues at even more subtle levels. This entire generation is going to be wounded.

Yet the lesson will not be learned.

Pride meet Nemesis.

96 The nations child poverty rate rose from 12 per cent at the end of 2021 to 17 per cent last month, effectively erasing the gains from an expanded Child Tax Credit programme introduced by President Joe Biden, according to a report from the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University.

It appears once again we have lost the War on Poverty.

97 Anyone who has doubts about which side the police and the media are on in future can't be helped.

Don't forget medicos and teachers. They all went happily along with enabling scam.

98 I thought No Time To Die was a decent movie. My son dragged me to see it on his last visit. I'm glad I went. It is a marathon, though. Prepare accordingly!

105 Affirmation of the divine presence from the book on prayer, "A Private House of Prayer" by Rev. Dr, Leslie Weatherhead:

"The eternal God" it is , "is thy Refuge and underneath are thy Everlasting Arms" "and" said the Quaker , William Penn, "we cannot fall beneath the Arms of God, how low soever it be that we fall, they are still underneath us."

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?....Wait on the Lord; Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou on the Lord."

Psalm 27 vs 1, 14
