I spoke with Military History Visualised last month and sections of the interview are being released over time. I don’t understand YouTube, but I guess this is better? Here I spoke about the missing cyber Pearl Harbor and also speculated on what Russia may do in the future. As this was recorded on Sept 12, I no longer make the same assessments on future behavior. But other than that, the rest is good.

1/ What is the price of defeat? Few episodes in the Ukraine war illustrate this more vividly than the five-month battle for the village of Dovhenke, an episode which likely cost hundreds of lives but was entirely futile for Russia. A 🧵.

Cybersecurity awareness month, tip # 2: You can be aware of the cyber without the cyber being aware of you. Did you know you can sneak up on most computers and just give them a good toss into a lake? It's true. This also prevents ransomware, or using the computer in general.

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

Seeing some less-than-sophisticated “research” on Chrome security this week, and wanted to clarify a few things, because some reporters seem to unfortunately be confused about what CVE *counts* actually mean. The answer: not much. 🧵(1/4)

More bugs fixed year over year is a good thing. Bugs exist in every piece of software out there, so if you think less bug fixes = more security, a lot of folks on my team would love to have a word 👀 (4/4)
