Yo, quick suggestion: For future CVEs, could you add a small banner with the CVE number in the video? Helps with quickly researching it further

Saw your post about how much work is involved doing content and how people think it's easy. I just wanted to say, I appreciate what you do.

Yeah macdonalds uses a pack device all the time on our TV and my gaming machines all the time when there are no customers over there.

We're all going to end up losing to the bad guys and it'll be because we believed them when they said they'd fight against the bad guys.

Thanks for the first story (all of them really lol but mainly the first)
I haven’t updated my headers in over a year… so I’ll be doing that now
Also… 19TB from 1 packet is insanity! Lol imagine if you had a botnet of 10k sending each a single packet?
