Cybersecurity Path
In the past 5 years, I moved from a full-time employee to a Business Owner.
It is not for everyone and it is not easy, but it is much more rewarding both financially and in compounding experience.
I've created a mind map of my journey so far. #cybersecurity
I discovered yesterday that @heyhey World has a link that gives you a random Hey World blog every time you click it.

Tesla Sentry System Fail
@elonmusk today someone broke my Tesla Model 3 window.
Luckily I wasn't there and didn't have anything valuable in the car.
Also @Tesla in Vancouver were able to replace the window within a few hours and I'm really grateful for that.
However, the security system failed me.
To update the car software you have to disable sentry, the security system for 20-25 minutes, but it now re-enables itself.
It doesn't however re-enable the iPhone remote viewing and doesn't notify you if someone is messing with the car.

The Secure Disposal Saga
What are some things that you don't learn from certificates in InfoSeC and only experience on the job?
I'll go first.
The saga of secure disposal of endpoints. #infosec
A thread ~ 🧶
You would expect the removal of hard drives and secure destruction with certificates and the lot for end-of-life equipment.
Well, not always.
Some eye-opening behaviour I've witnessed over the years in places I've worked or consulted.
Believe in yourself.
It is irrational to expect others to do that for you, if you don’t.
Your environment will echo your frequency.
Choose your frequency carefully. #frequency

Limitless
Would you take a pill that could make you smarter, even for a few hours?
The movie "Limitless" starring Bradley Cooper came out in 2011 and it is every information worker's dream.
The premise is exciting and was based on Modafinil.
But does it work?
Let's find out.
@daveasprey used the drug Modafinil in previous years and has attributed part of his success to it.

Machine Learning and AI
I have been following machine learning and AI developments over the past few years and it seems to be a conundrum.
There is potential for this technology to be an impressive utility but also prone to abuse beyond imagination or comprehension.
Here are some examples. 🧵
In December 2014, Stephen Hawking warned that full AI could end mankind bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30290540.
