Your ChatGPT Chats Aren't Private — They're Turning Up as Evidence in Court

Your ChatGPT Chats Aren't Private — They're Turning Up as Evidence in Court

Here's an uncomfortable truth a lot of people haven't clocked yet: your late-night ChatGPT venting sessions, your "hey can you help me word this email to my ex" prompts, your half-formed legal or financial worries — none of that is protected the way a conversation with your lawyer, doctor, or therapist would be. A recent Washington Post investigation, picked up and expanded on by outlets like gHacks and TechSpot, found that AI chatbot conversations have already surfaced as evidence in at least 12 public court cases over the past two years. And that's almost certainly the tip of the iceberg, since most discovery material never becomes public record in the first place.

How to Test a Ubiquiti Product Using iPerf2

How to Test a Ubiquiti Wave Pro Network Link Using iPerf2
When you install or troubleshoot a high-speed wireless link, looking at the radio's signal strength and connection status only tells part of the story. The real question is simple: how much usable network performance can I actually get across the link? One of my favorite ways to answer that question is with iPerf. In this video, I demonstrate a real-world throughput test using iPerf2 across a Ubiquiti Wave Pro radio link. It is a simple test, but it provides much more useful information than simply looking at the radio's reported link speed. By generating actual TCP traffic between two endpoints, iPerf lets you measure the performance of the network path itself.

Closing the Dark Hours Security Gap

Closing the Dark Hours Security Gap (RICH VAN DE GROENEKAN)

Executive Summary

Most organizations actively monitor their security environment during the roughly eight "light hours" of the business day. The remaining sixteen hours — plus weekends and holidays — represent the highest-risk, lowest-visibility window in the entire security posture. Bad actors know this, and they deliberately exploit these "dark hours" for reconnaissance, lateral movement, and data exfiltration precisely because defenders have reduced eyes on the network.

How Network Data and Signal Graphs Prove a Wireless Improvement Worked

How Network Data and Signal Graphs Prove a Wireless Improvement Worked
When making changes to a wireless network, it is important to measure the results rather than simply assume the change was successful. A grest example is when I was working with a team aligning a pair of point to point Ubiquiti Wave Pro radios. An antenna may look properly positioned after an adjustment, but visual inspection alone cannot tell you whether the wireless link actually improved. Collecting radio and network performance data before, and after the change provides objective evidence and gives you a reliable way to determine whether the adjustment produced the expected result.

EU Just Slapped ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox With Its Toughest Tech Rules — Here's What It Actually Means

EU Just Slapped ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox With Its Toughest Tech Rules — Here's What It Actually Means
If you've been following the EU's crackdown on Big Tech, add three new names to the list: ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox. On August 31, 2026, the European Commission officially designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine (VLOSE), while Reddit and Roblox got tagged as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This isn't a lawsuit or a fine — it's a regulatory classification, but it's the kind that comes with serious strings attached. All three services crossed the DSA's magic number of 45 million average monthly EU users, which is the trigger threshold for landing in this "top tier" of oversight alongside giants like Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, and Meta's platforms. That brings the EU's VLOP/VLOSE list to 28 services total.
