NASA is planning to host a live Twitch stream next week from the International Space Station (ISS). "The stream, which takes place on February 12th at 11:45AM ET on NASA's Twitch channel, will feature Don Pettit, an astronaut currently on the ISS, and Matt Dominick, who returned to Earth from the ISS in October," reports The Verge. From the report: The astronauts will discuss "daily life aboard the space station and the research conducted in microgravity" and viewers will be able to ask them questions, according to a blog post. "This Twitch event from space is the first of many," Brittany Brown, director of the Office of Communications Digital and Technology Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, says in the post. "We spoke with digital creators at TwitchCon about their desire for streams designed with their communities in mind, and we listened. In addition to our spacewalks, launches, and landings, we'll host more Twitch-exclusive streams like this one."

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of AI WTFerry at this site for a while, and fewer stupid online sales copy booboos. For today, here we go:

Jet-setter Stewart wants to sell a pound, but he's going to have to cover some ground first. "Looks like Google are trying very hard to encourage me to stop using their search engine. Perhaps they want me to use chatGPT? I just can't fathom how it got this so wrong."

 

Tim R. proves that AIs aren't immune to the general flubstitution error category either. "I'm not quite sure what's going on here - there were 5 categories each with the same [insert content here] placeholder. Maybe the outer text is not AI generated and the developers forgot to actually call the AI, or maybe the AI has been trained on so much placeholder source code it thought it was generating what I wanted to see."

 

"Crazy Comcast Calendar Corruption!" complains B.J.H. "No wonder I didn't get birthday gifts -- my birth month has been sloughed away. But they still charged me for the months that don't exist." Hey, they only charged you for 12 months at least. Maybe they just picked twelve at random.

 

Educator Manuel H. "Publishing a session recording in [open-source] BigBlueButton seems to be a task for logicians: Should it be public, or protected, or both? Or should it rather be published instead of public? Or better not published at all?" A little translation explanation: the list of options provided would in English be "Public/Protected, Public, Protected, Published, Unpublished". I have no idea what the differences mean.

 

And the pièce de résistance from Mark Whybird "I've always hated click here as a UX antipattern, but Dell have managed to make it even worse." Or maybe better? This is hysterical.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CyberScoop: Ransomware payments saw a dramatic 35% drop last year compared to 2023, even as the overall frequency of ransomware attacks increased, according to a new report released by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis. The considerable decline in extortion payments is somewhat surprising, given that other cybersecurity firms have claimed that 2024 saw the most ransomware activity to date. Chainalysis itself warned in its mid-year report that 2024's activity was on pace to reach new heights, but attacks in the second half of the year tailed off. The total amount in payments that Chainalysis tracked in 2024 was $812.55 million, down from 2023's mark of $1.25 billion. The disruption of major ransomware groups, such as LockBit and ALPHV/BlackCat, were key to the reduction in ransomware payments. Operations spearheaded by agencies like the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) caused significant declines in LockBit activity, while ALPHV/BlackCat essentially rug-pulled its affiliates and disappeared after its attack on Change Healthcare. [...] Additionally, [Chainalysis] says more organizations have become stronger against attacks, with many choosing not to pay a ransom and instead using better cybersecurity practices and backups to recover from these incidents. [...] Chainalysis also says ransomware operators are letting funds sit in wallets, refraining from moving any money out of fear they are being watched by law enforcement. You can read the full report here.
