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.

Trying to find a case involving Xbox forensics. Here's a summary (generated by #ai from my prompts). I just can't recall where I read about it. :( #dfir #research

Ai summary: Looking for a true crime case where a possessive, all-day Xbox gamer murdered his wife/girlfriend indoors at or near her workplace. To stage an alibi, he broke his habit of frantically calling her 20+ times a day and only made 1–2 calm "check-in" calls, but cell data showed he was carrying her phone. His gaming alibi collapsed when Microsoft logs proved his Xbox sat idle on the dashboard with zero inputs and was connected to a different IP network than his home.

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

On average, about 500 illegal DLL files have been found on these confiscated machines.

The Curies would like a word with you...#science

@holisticgrenade post on Twitter/X:
Doctors say mammograms are harmless and lifesaving then duck behind three feet of lead shielding like its a nuke test when the machine turns on.
Dentists say X-Rays are completely safe and then sprint out of the room like a bomb is about to go off when the machine turns on.
Doctors say ultrasounds and fetal monitoring are 100% safe during pregnancy then run as far away as they possibly can when the machine turns on.
It's almost like the things they tell us are 100% safe aren't safe at all.

I don't think people get what this is saying. There is no way on Earth you can direct connect a FIBER line directly to a copper line. Yes, you can connect into converters, routers, and other gear. This is not a "direct" connection! /rantoff source: x.com/jmsexton_/st...

Connecting fiber (glass) to copper is common. Many receive high-speed Internet via fiber-optic to their homes or businesses, where it’s distributed via copper Ethernet. This is just one example.

A converter is all you need to turn electrical signals from copper into light pulses for the fiber, and vice versa.

#tarriffs As pointed out by @dieworkwear.bsky.social , "crazy how disruptive this is. this company is canadian, but produces things in china. so even if you purchase from french, canadian, english, japanese, or whatever company, you will face a big tariff if the item was made in china." #twitter

To our US customers,
We’ve received many messages asking when we’ll reopen US shipping. We
wish we had better news—but for now, US shipping will remain paused. We'll
update you as soon as anything changes.
As of May 5, 2025, here’s where things stand:
¢ With the removal of de minimis, all tariffs will apply. This means 145%
(introduced on April 11th) + 17% commodities = 162%
¢ If a bra’s tag price is $59, we will be required to collect an additional
$95.58 from you and remit this to the border agency, making the total
$154.58
Given the lack of clarity around tariff collection and refund procedures, we
cannot be certain that you won’t face unexpected charges.
We’re incredibly grateful for your patience, and for every message, comment,
and call of support. It truly means everything to us.
—The Understance Team

If you look up on Amazon, you see more normal prices (for now) for coffee. If Tim Horton's office would only be ~$19/lb (after tariffs) from our Canadian friends. It's not bad coffee either.

Amazon search showing coffee prices ranging from $10 to 30$ per bag.

Okay, so instead of the $10 - $20 cost per lb of coffee (depending on brand), people want to spend $176 coffee? Let's see about #coffee prices. ☕😍

I'm sorry what? Schools have been requiring kids to turn off phones during class so they can learn. Stating to "ban" phones, means that students cannot reach parents/guardians for other reasons outside of the class room (like after school programs). #deptofed #school

This is Huge!

RFK Jr. says he will be working with states to get cell phones out of schools.

“Cell phones produce electric magnetic radiation, which has been shown to do neurological damage to kids when it's around them all day.”

“It’s also been shown to cause cellular damage and even cancer.”

“Cell phone use and social media use on the cell phone has been directly connected with depression, poor performance in schools, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.”

“The states that are doing this have found that it is a much healthier environment when kids are not using cell phones in schools.”

When I worked a gov't civ, I had a "active" CC incase I had to deploy for the military anywhere in short notice. This seems to stop that but make then unusable (setting to $1) then saying "these are not used" -- because you can't -- then canceling them.

Weekly Credit Card Update!

Pilot program has been expanded to 16 agencies to audit unused/unneeded credit cards. After 2 weeks, ~146,000 cards have been de-activated.

As a reminder, at the start of the audit, there were ~4.6M active cards/accounts, so still more work to do.
