Is anyone aware of the other services using Salesloft Drift that were breached? Cloudflare is the first I've had reach out, but surely there were others.
There were at least 700 victims being tracked by Google's Threat Intelligence Group

When I went to Defcon a few years back, one of the speakers started his talk by saying:
"When I first started coming to Defcon, it was full of hackers and we played spot-the-fed. Now you're all feds and we play spot-the-hacker."
I think many would be surprised how many people 20+ years ago were feds.. or became feds
Isn't there already a system in place for that sort of thing. I know a couple civilian experts who worked as consultants in iraq (think like water treatment plant engineers) who were given "effective" officer ranks to smooth out interactions with the military members they worked with directly, clarify who they could and couldn't tell what to do. But they didn't wear uniforms, weren't saluted, weren't considered members of the military for most purposes, are not counted as veterans, etc.
If it were simply that, this is a problem the military has run into before and has solutions to it. This is something else: at best weird propaganda at worst I don't really know.
Not necessarily the same thing, in addition to their rank there are legal authorities conveyed as Officers. Title 10 & 50 for example.
The key difference is the DDS folks were not uniformed military. That can make all the difference when trying to sell your product or service to a military decision maker.
It's not even that. The biggest difference is by being sworn in, they now have Legal authorities and rights awarded to military personnel, but are also subject to the UCMJ. Depending on how they structure the program they may be able to get Title 10 and 50 coverage and possibly others. This drastically changes what they legally can or can't do on behalf of the USG. There's more to this than people realize. It's also not all that new. In the past they had "Consultants" deeply integrated into agencies to solve the same issues.
Palantir, Crowdstrike, many others pretty much started inside the govt and were built around classified information as a means to get their advantage. It's not right, but It's definitely something that happens. Source: I was there for it with both orgs and even back then everyone though Dmitry formely from CS was a dick. I still have the mousepad that Palantir created for the office in lieu of a training guide (just a bunch of printed shortcuts / commands).

I think the challenge is battery. Frequent inference draws a ton of power.
I wouldn't say that's a Unique Apple Problem though.
Someone would probably buy them on eBay for a good price.
There are definitely people that collect older media for use in the retro setups.
I constantly buy New Old Stock when I find Floppies, Mini Disc, Cassettes, Zip Disks, hell just about anything. We're a weird bunch of collectors but we're out there.

I subscribe to 2600 (https://www.2600.com/) and Eighty (https://www.readeighty.com/).
I got a lifetime subscription for 2600 from my parents when I was in high school, and I subscribed to Eighty only a few years ago. My biggest gripe with larger magazines is all the ads, and uninteresting content throughout them; typically I only end up reading one or two articles and then the whole magazine feels like a bit of a waste. both 2600 and Eighty have very little/no ads, and feel more niche and content focused. Eighty is actually printed like a very nice paperback book.
<3 for the Lifetime to 2600. Sure there's a lot of randomness in it, but that's what makes it a Gem.

Before all the e-tailers existed one would often buy a computer magazine such as Computer Shopper for the ads and the articles were almost a nuisance. True enough now that the best deals are all online though.
I still have a box of them somewhere, I have one from early 90's that still has all the circles on vendor ads where I was doing price comparisons. Those were the days.
The excess use of — within this really screams "I Used ChatGPT to write/rewrite this".
And what you’re describing is exactly the reason Kei trucks aren’t a thing despite most farmers actually liking them for their utility.
You can’t import them unless they are old because we want to protect the automotive industry. But we can’t build them new either because they don’t meet the safety standards (FMVSS) and are penalized more for being fuel efficient because the standards are stricter for smaller vehicles.
To be fair, kei trucks are horrible in crashes too. That’s a big part of states starting to ban them.
