Scott Wilson / is on Nostr

I'm a 25-year (plus) cybersecurity professional, who currently manages Vulnerability Management programs, Penetration Testing engagements, and Adversarial Simulation projects at IBM X-Force Red.

I took a REALLY long break from all social media... I'm kinda back? Not that anyone cares.

@npub1tvq…l6jk Can anyone recommend some cool games similar to Half-Life 2, on Steam? I’ve played HL, HL2, HL2 Ep 1 & 2, and HL2 Lost Coast all a dozen times now.
I also need something by with not the heaviest system requirements - my Nvidia graphics card is 8 years old.

@npub1drn…x2mm DT, I’ve definitely only used water. Think you’re on the right track regarding keeping the system clean.
My Nespresso machine came with a milk frother. Do you have one of those?

@npub1c9e…zhes Victoria, I read the same article (with alarm!)... Have you seen or read anything that shares HOW PwC is going to collect this employee location data? I"m curious...

I guess I missed an announcement... Google Gemini #AI is now part of Gmail? Awesome.

This article from April, which quotes tech historian Margaret O'Mara and most excellent storyteller @npub1xkg…gph9, is just as pertinent today as it was a few months back. Nothing's changed.
