Max "Fully Unionized" Eddy @maxeddy@infosec.exchange

I never did an #introduction!

Hi, I'm Max. I live in #NYC and do #journalism at PCMag where I cover #infosec, #security, and #privacy. I also write reviews of #VPN and professionally complain about #capitalism. I'm the Unit Chair of the ZDCG #union and moonlight as a #labor organizer. If you want to learn about how to unionize your workplace, plz DM me. I play #banjo badly and think about #medieval literature. I'm spending too much money on #fountainpens.

Reminder that the CEO of Telegram will owe me $1 Million USD in June 2022.

This is the single greatest triumph of technology over itself, boost if you agree.

Hooting, hollering.

I've always felt that wearables at Black Hat/DEF CON, any conference really, is fascinating hubris.

Sorry Jeff, Chris has the winning outfit. 10/10, perfect pants.

You know what, that nails it really.

Jeff Moss' shoe game is not up to par this year. Frankly, I'm disappointed.

RAIN POURS ON THE SCREEN
EVERYTHING IS BLACK AND WHITE
There's lightning and water and what sounds like a remix of the Lone Gunmen theme music

Honestly surprised there's this many people there!

Not quite the same as being herded into a dark, crowded arena full of smoke machine and lasers at 9AM, but it'll do.

Music is still...fairly awful. Some things never change.

Here we gooooooooo

w-what

I'm not attending #BlackHat or #DEFCON in person this year, but I'd love to hear from people on the ground about their experiences in these pandemic times.

My eye twitch is back...must be time for Black Hat

The last place I was expecting to get anti-union propaganda was Fedi. Looooooooooooool

Y'all faved this so hard my boss said I had to write about it.
