  • I’m not sue what to make of all this but when I see quotes like:

    Turner says: “If we had to go through a normal consenting process, they just take so long, they’re so expensive, a project like this would really struggle.”

    I can’t help but think of my teenagers whining when they don’t want to do a chore properly.

    We have rules and processes for good reasons, it’s frustrating when it seems to be ‘cool’ to throw all this away because it’s inconvenient













  • Holidaying in India and I’m stupidly glad I didn’t grow up living on a traffic island in a large intersection. Lots about this place is wonderful but there always that undercurrent of brutal systemic factors…

    I saw today on RNZ about the manage my health hack that it was a single module that had been exploited via a valid password. Presumably they weren’t limiting or sanitizing input, allowing lateral retrieval of others’ records? I was curious if there were any more details around it?

    I’ve only been vaguely aware if what’s going on… For MMH, the timing is probably fairly convenient with everyone enjoying summer rather than reading the news at work?


  • Had a strange one at work today - one of the radiologists wanted to try a stream deck they’d purchased to speed up their reporting.

    The piece of shit software wouldn’t even talk to the device without admin rights. I thought it ought to at least connect and be able to interact with other apps on the same security context, at least in a rudimentary way, but nope!

    Looks like the reporting tools don’t properly accommodate any API or macro hotkeys either, so it was probably a hopeless idea all along.
