@Evil_Mog That's right! This refueling was done by a KC-130. I was an instructor on the KC-135! That's called a hose and drogue (aka basket).

Meanwhile, at @hardwear_io, hardware hackers attached a turret gun to a robot dog and used it to terrorize the other hackers. #hardpwn

Hey @GoogleVRP and @hardwear_io I propose that @thingmakerQ (who helped everyone with crazy soldering skills) and @dgi_DE (who brought a shitton of hardware/tools which people borrowed more than hwio stuff) should get included in every bug bounty by default

@blenster @ASUS Exactly. Why ship motherboards that don't work with the CPU they were designed for unless you have an update that you can't install?!

A short in my new GPU 💥 my PC so I'm rebuilding from scratch. The new motherboard wouldn't post. After troubleshooting I called @asus. Turns out it requires a BIOS update to run the CPU. Can't update if it won't post. They want me to ship it back for the update. 🤦‍♀️ #brandnew

I told somebody I was "pen testing a Bluetooth device". They apparently told that to a colleague; who minutes later asked me, "Are you testing Bluetooth pens? 🖊️".

You never can just install open-source programs for testing. No, that would be too easy. You always have to fix them first. I'm looking at you, #Ubertooth... 👀
