Working on more research and ran across this information on the case related to where I live. I don't get how it took weeks for the school to report her missing. I've gotten notices of legal action from the school for my kids missing < 15 days.

Madalina Cojocari remains missing, and her disappearance is an unsolved active case. Here is where the investigation stands:Last Confirmed Sighting: She was last seen getting off her school bus in Cornelius, North Carolina, on November 21, 2022. Delayed Reporting: Her mother, Diana Cojocari, and stepfather, Christopher Palmiter, did not report her missing until December 15, 2022—more than three weeks after she vanished—and only after the school repeatedly inquired about her absence. Legal Outcomes: Both her mother and stepfather were arrested and ultimately convicted in 2024 for failure to report the disappearance of a child to law enforcement. Neither has been charged directly with her kidnapping or murder, as investigators still have not found Madalina or conclusive evidence explaining what happened to her. Current Status: Law enforcement agencies, including the Cornelius Police Department, the SBI, and the FBI, continue to treat her disappearance as an active missing persons case. The forensic digital footprint—such as the cessation of activity on her school-issued Chromebook—remains one of the key pieces of evidence authorities used to narrow down when she actually disappeared, despite the false timelines provided by the parents.

@brettshavers.bsky.social is this statement true: "Digital forensics does not lie." I do find that statement funny, because how data is interpreted really tells the whole story and people can interpret things in different ways.

Any type of radiation or fluctuations can be used by two systems (or people) to communication. All you need is the encoding (and/or encryption) being used. Systems with malware have been shown to do this time and time again. #cybersecurity #airgapped

Two air-gapped computers can communicate via CPU temperature regulation only if both are pre-infected with malware, placed within 40 cm, at 1-8 bits per hour as shown in 2015 research.

People have been confirming this. Some ppl are incredibly stupid. Don't be these ppl ... #defcon

From Twitter post:

The Official Delta Diamond Medallion G / Mary Perrault 27m
Breaking news.
A wild scene just unfolded at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) after Delta Flight 591 landed from Las Vegas. A group of passengers returning from the DEF CON cybersecurity convention allegedly used a portable network hacking tool (like a Wi-Fi Pineapple) to launch a mid-air "de-authentication" attack. They successfully jammed the plane's official in-flight Wi-Fi, kicking everyone offline, and broadcasted a malicious clone network named "Delta WiFi Fast." The fake hotspot served up a phishing landing page designed to harvest passengers' personal credentials and Google login data, prompting the captain to send an emergency ACARS alert to the ground. Upon docking at Gate A18, federal authorities and airport police immediately boarded the aircraft to hold the cabin, question the suspects, and seize the broadcasting hardware.

The author points out the bad notions but sticks by the "9" answer. However, if you were to write: 6 ÷ 2x ... no one would think you would do 6 divided by 2 then multiple by 2. I hate these "gotcha" #math questions. /1

Does anybody know someone at AirBnB? I'm trying to get my account back.

On May 10, 2026, someone on Twitter asked what they should do if they're worried about moths eating their wool clothes. I replied: "you can protect your wardrobe from clothes moths by filling your closet with tiny spiders, who are the moth's natural predator. later, you can deal with the spiders by filling your wardrobe with scorpions."

On July 6, 2026, Tim Pool wrote: "Due to a scorpion infestation at my Airbnb followed by Casesars not letting my family get a room for no reason Im not going to have my morning show up

Been up all night dealing with this insanity"
