  • Knows baby metal but does not know passcode.

    Great podcast but I think it’s funny that in the one with Blackhat 2024 they talk about all these Japanese rock bands but don’t know about passcode. But great content in this podcast. Glad to see y’all back.

    I like this podcast because I always feel like I am listening in on a conversation of my coworkers. We are having beers after work and talk about to latest problems we are seeing. That makes it fun.
