What if zirconia could look even more like natural teeth? According to Dr. Ed McLaren, “Of all the zirconia's he's tested, the optical properties of Ivoclar's e.max zirconia are the closest to natural teeth.” (And I second that with everything I've see – if Barb does the read) Discover what's redefining the possibilities with IPS e.max Zirconia. Join Dr. Ed McLaren for Zirconia Reimagined—an informative webinar exploring the latest advancements, clinical insights, and practical applications of zirconia in modern dentistry. October 5th @ 7:00 pm. Register today at Vivalearning.com As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. DETAX has been making waves in the dental industry with 3D printing materials, and in this episode, Elvis and Barb sit down with Veronika Perrone from DETAX and Brandon Smith to talk about where digital dentistry is headed—and why flexible printed partials might be one of the most interesting developments yet. Veronika shares her journey from Germany to the United States and her nearly 15 years with DETAX, while giving us a look at the company's history, its roots in medical and audiology materials, and its growing presence in the dental market. Brandon brings the technician's perspective, talking about his path through the lab world, Triad, Whip Mix, 3Shape, and eventually starting his own consulting and training business. The conversation really gets interesting when they dive into DETAX's flexible resin. Brandon explains how the material handles in the lab, from design and nesting to printing, post-processing, bonding and finishing. They discuss the chemical bond between the flexible base and denture tooth resin, the ability to design flexible partials from scans, and how the material can be used for everything from flexible partials and flippers to unilaterals and claspless appliances. They also get into DETAX's lineup of splint materials, printer validations, hands-on training courses, and what's coming next—including retainer and aligner materials and additional crown shades. Whether you're already printing removable appliances or just wondering if it's finally time to bring flexible partials into your digital workflow, this episode is packed with practical information, real-world experience, and plenty of dental-geek conversation.Special Guests: Brandon Smith and Veronika Perrone.

“The biggest hurdle to police reforms comes from the bureaucracy itself – IAS officers who hold key positions at the Centre and in all departments of the governments and local bodies in the states,” writes Yashovardhan Azad in his new book, ‘Policing the Republic: An Inside View of How India Fights Corruption and Crime, and Protects Rights.' Mr Azad, a former IPS officer who has served as special director at the Intelligence bureau and Central Information Commissioner, argues in his book that corruption and the breakdown of institutional credibility are two major challenges hobbling the India story. In this episode, we discuss, among other things, police reforms, the politics of corruption, and how tough life can be for a upright civil servant.

The hosts discuss confusion caused by Microsoft's email warning that Publisher will end in October 2026 and urging users to convert files to PDF. Jerry shares how he's been using AI—especially Claude (and sometimes ChatGPT)—to speed up IT work: creating an Addigy printer pool by assigning static IPs to flaky Brother network printers, analyzing Mac logs with Claude to find a runaway Chrome render process causing memory pressure, and using the Quitter app to auto-quit Chrome as a workaround for battery and performance issues. He also describes fixing a weak UniFi doorbell connection by creating a 2.4GHz-only SSID and broadcasting it on multiple access points. The conversation broadens to AI guardrails, environmental and economic concerns, and social impacts.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process.

Join us at the Race For the Future 12 to raise money for the Foundation For Dental Laborary Technology. September 27th in Valley View, Texas! https://dentallabfoundation.org/news-events/race-for-the-future/ Shawn Nowak from Nowak Dental Supplies joins Elvis and Barb to talk all things NOLA LabFest October 15-17th, including the welcome addition to the speaker lineup: martial arts instructor and business coach Jude Grayson. After Jude's keynote at last year's LabFest, the response was strong enough to bring him back for another keynote and a breakout session. The conversation starts with the obvious question: what the heck does a karate instructor know about the dental laboratory industry? As Jude explains, quite a bit. Having practiced martial arts since he was five years old and built a career around teaching, competition, entrepreneurship, and business coaching, Jude draws a surprising number of parallels between martial arts and business. He talks about discipline, competition, confidence, risk, and his “five-year-old board break moment”—the idea that sometimes the ability to succeed is already inside us, and the right coach simply helps unlock it. He also explains how those lessons translate into working with business owners and helping them recognize opportunities they may not see themselves. The conversation then turns toward one of the biggest challenges facing dental laboratories today: knowing when it's time to pivot. With technology, AI, 3D printing, changing doctor workflows, and the evolving DSO landscape continuing to reshape the industry, Jude's NOLA LabFest keynote will focus on how business owners can recognize when change is necessary, decide when to act, and understand the risks that come with being an early adopter. He also shares some great perspective on failure, competition, and why making a bad business decision doesn't necessarily mean you've lost—the real loss comes when you stop competing altogether. Shawn also gives us a look at what else is happening at NOLA LabFest, including education on AI, social media marketing, employee culture, DSOs, and other topics affecting dental laboratories right now. And, of course, there's plenty of the NOLA LabFest fun mixed in, from the masquerade party and distillery tour to the return of Family Feud. It's a conversation about business, leadership, taking risks, and finding ways to keep dental laboratories moving forward—and it all starts with a karate instructor walking into a dental show.Special Guests: Jude Grayson and Shawn Nowak.

August 10, 2026.In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman announces the expansion of “Realville,” a conceptual and intellectual settlement designed to confront the “controlled opposition” within the truth community. Ozman argues that mainstream news and alternative conspiracy theories are both parts of a “bifurcated” world stage, a closed informational system designed to keep the public in a state of fear or “mind war”. He deconstructs the concept of the “Metascript,” identifying government officials and entertainment directors as the architects of simulated events like 9/11 and the JFK assassination. The program emphasizes a shift from “belief systems” to “media Gnosticism,” where individuals use pattern recognition to identify engineered coincidences and predictive programming in popular media.10 Topics of Discussion* The Growth of Realville: Establishing a “colony” in Trutherville to directly confront “useful stooges” and “propaganda mules”.* The “Bloody Guardrail”: A term for the psychological inability of most “truthers” to entertain the idea that nobody died in major media events.* Conspiracy Theories as PSYOPs: The assertion that spreading fear-based alternative narratives is actually a form of psychological warfare.* The “Woketown” vs. “Trutherville” Duopoly: How the media divides the public into two extreme subsets that both operate within a closed informational system.* 9/11 “Hoax-aversary”: Plans to deconstruct the 2001 events through the lens of concurrent drills and CGI “video composite overlays”.* Metascriptors: Identifying figures like James Comey, Don DeLillo, and Christopher Nolan as individuals who seed future narratives into the public consciousness.* The 8647 Pattern: Analyzing the numerical link between James Comey's book release, seashell photos, and a vandalism event at the Lincoln Memorial.* The NASA “Mind Control” Budget: The theory that the space program's true purpose is to “program the space between your ears” rather than physical travel.* Subterranean Civilizations and Hyperloop: Speculation that modern tech like Elon Musk's Hyperloop is preparing the public for simulated space travel in underground bases.* Realville as a “Wood Chipper”: Using a predictable schedule and deprogramming courses to create a “marketplace disruption” and mass defection from controlled media.10 Key Quotes* “If you reach Alex Jonestown, you've gone a little too far.”* “Strategically... It doesn't make sense to kill people during the creation of propaganda films.”* “Every time you come in here and [tell] us to be afraid... you're in fact waging sciwar against us.”* “The beginning of wisdom... is to call things by their right names.”* “There are no false flags. Nobody's dying.”* “Truthers are like 20 years behind.”* “Belief is based on low information. Skepticism is high information.”* “The purpose of the space program is to program the space between your ears.”* “Resistance is futile... what are you going to do? ...mentally step outside of their system.”* “If you can't describe the architecture of the Truman Show, you're still in it.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Reading Dr. Bass Ackwards: “The government are just... Other people have changed their names wearing government costumes.”* Reading Armin: “The world stage offers each and everyone's own worst nightmare fantasy.”* Reading Truth Hurts: “...there's a new movie coming out called The Dog Stars, post-apocalyptic genre directed by Ridley Scott.”* Reading Plane: “If you start a new channel, will they demonetize it?”* Reading Suzanne Ann: “Michael Hoffman believes the moon landings were real.”You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.

This synopsis is based on the July 31, 2026, broadcast of the IPS-D program.In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman (founding member of the Infinite Plane Society and “Realville”) provides a deep-dive analysis into media deconstruction and what he terms “systemic fakery”. Ozman posits that major world events are not spontaneous but are part of a “meta script”—a prefabricated history planned decades in advance by “metascriptors” such as filmmakers Christopher Nolan and James Cameron. The program focuses on moving the audience from a paradigm of “belief” to one of “knowing” by identifying patterns in the “world stage”. Ozman discusses the establishment of “Realville” as a base to confront “propaganda mules” and “controlled opposition” within the conspiracy community. The conversation covers a wide array of topics, from simulated assassinations to the esoteric nature of consciousness, all aimed at “inoculating” the audience against psychological warfare.Key Topics of Discussion* The Establishment of Realville: A movement designed to directly confront “useful idiots” and “stooges” who follow controlled opposition narratives within the truth community.* The “Nuke” Meta Script: Analysis of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Oppenheimer as predictive programming for an inevitable incoming nuclear event.* The “Charlie Kirk Squib”: A deconstruction of a supposed assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, which the host claims was a staged casualty simulation involving a “blood bag” and “fake skin”.* Westworld Syndrome: A term used to describe “normies” who are “trapped within the simulation” and lack the continuity to see patterns between past and present events.* 2020 as “Crate Training”: The assertion that the COVID-19 lockdowns were used to condition the human race to accept future restrictions and “lockdowns” following a nuclear event.* Hoax Indicators: Specific hallmarks used to identify simulated events, such as concurrent drills, immediate political agendas, and the use of “crisis actors”.* History Bending: The theory that accumulated fake news cycles over decades are used to warp the collective version of the past and steer current paradigms.* Panpsychism and Gnosticism: The host's philosophical argument that “mind is primary” and matter is a substrate, viewing the physical world as a potential “limiter” or “prison for souls”.* Echolocation Theory of Synchronicity: A demystified view of synchronicity where thoughts and intentions act as signals that “bounce back” from the future as guidance.* The Off-World Stage Perspective: A state of situational awareness that allows an individual to see the “architecture” of the media monopoly and opt-out of the “mind war”.Key Quotes* “Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan have been producing a lot of PSYOP prep for the incoming nuke event.”* “They used 2020 to crate train the human race. Like, you know, dogs.”* “Your home is your FEMA camp. The purpose of the lockdown is basically the same thing.”* “Realville is in the world stage because we're in the process of invading. But our perspective is off world stage.”* “The idea that they're planning events in advance doesn't sound super extreme... It actually is. And you have to consider the implications.”* “We have exited the mind war because it's Orwellian. They maintain the status quo through mind war because war is peace.”* “If you're not a Media Gnostic, what are you? If you don't know, but you believe, you're a believer.”* “Death is a big fat hoax.”* “Conspiracy theories are subplots of the fake events.”* “If you get the off-world stage perspective, you are essentially inoculated for all time.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Reading Suzette Ann: “She says, I hope you're wrong. I don't want to go through the restrictions again.”* Reading Suzanne Ann: “...a lot of people will believe things because they're in the news and the government promotes it. They believe the so-called authorities. I used to be there.”* Reading Plane Dakota: “I'm not going to be afraid of the nuke, but I don't want to be around the people who believe in it, which will be everyone because they're going to make life hard.”* Reading Riley: “It happened in Louisville, the 9-11 Louis connection.”* Reading Autohoax: “Human beings being animals are self-evident... You're echoing Catholic religious beliefs by saying we have souls. You're a Catholic brainwashed victim.”* Reading Violet: “Zero for paranormal activity for me.”* Reading Afus Crow: “Anyone still talking about voting, left versus right, chasing the latest psyop, have no idea what's really going on... chasing the latest PSYOP laser pointer.”You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.

August 5, 2026In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman reflects on the events of the previous day, claiming vindication for his analysis of the “meta script.” The episode focuses on the transition from “subjective opinions” to “empirical research” through media deconstruction. Ozman posits that world events are not random but are orchestrated by “Metascriptors”—high-level directors and government agents who seed future narratives into entertainment and news. The core of the discussion revolves around the August 4th (8/4) “JFK-ification” prediction for Donald Trump and the numerical patterns connecting the FBI, historical assassinations, and recent media “psyops” like the alleged death of Charlie Kirk.Breakdown of the 8/4 Assassination PredictionOzman asserts that his “pattern recognition” methodology correctly identified August 4th as a significant date for a staged assassination attempt on Donald Trump.* The “Correct” Prediction: Ozman notes that late on the night of August 4th, an individual identified as Janine Talley was arrested at a golf course in Los Angeles while waiting with an AR-15 and a cache of weapons. He frames this not as a “psychic” feat but as a result of analyzing predictive programming, such as the film Mickey 17, where a Trump-like character survives a bullet grazing his cheek.* The “Janine” Connection: The name of the would-be assassin, Janine, is highlighted as a recurring script element.The 8647 Pattern and Lincoln Memorial ConnectionThe broadcast details a complex numerical and symbolic web centered on the number 8647:* The Seashell Clue: Former FBI Director James Comey (a known author of spy thrillers) posted a photo of the number 8,647 arranged in seashells on a beach exactly 8,647 days after 9/11.* The Reflecting Pool: A man recently carved “8647” into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.* The Judge: A judge named Janine (Janine Pirro) was rebuked by Trump for dropping charges against the man who carved the number into the pool.* The Umbrella Loop: Trump commented that the judge “folded like an umbrella,” which Ozman links back to the “Umbrella Man” from the JFK assassination—the closest bystander to the president when he was shot.10 Topics of Discussion* The Great Deconstruction Project: Scaling up the analysis of psyops using AI and “gig work” to name specific “Metascriptors”.* Skepticism as Suspension of Judgment: The requirement to enter an investigation with no pre-judgment, as “breaking news” is essentially a hoax.* The Two Timeline Diagram: Differentiating the “Blue Timeline” (reported history/news) from the “Metascript” (fake event timeline).* Conspiracy Theories as Subplots: How alternative narratives are often “planted” to keep “truthers” from questioning if the event itself is real.* The Blindfolded Skeptic: The challenge to prove an event is fake without relying on the provided media footage, focusing instead on structural flaws.* Technological Fakery: Analyzing the possibility that figures like Charlie Kirk use “full head masks” and “blood bags” (squibs) for staged casualty simulations.* History as “Lies Agreed Upon”: The idea that media and history are fabricated history used to steer the future.* Blood Ritual Symbolism: Discussing the recent “blood-obsessed” media from Perez Hilton and Ariana Grande as ritualistic programming.* Fukushima as a Recycled “311”: Analyzing the numerical connections between the 2004 Madrid bombings (911 days after 9/11) and the Fukushima disaster.* Realville Colony: A space for “Media Gnostics” who have unplugged from both mainstream news and “controlled opposition”.10 Notable Quotes* “Nobody on earth could make the case that everything is fake.”* “Breaking news is kind of a hoax... It's just a way of sensationalizing something.”* “Conspiracy theories are subplots... Manufactured rabbit trails for the truthers.”* “History has always been lies agreed upon. Media is lies agreed upon.”* “Belief is based on low information. Skepticism is high information.”* “We are not making stories here. We're making observations. Huge difference.”* “You should be like a blindfolded skeptic... able to make the case... without pointing at the screen.”* “If you're too dependent on the screen, then your entire breakdown and analysis is based on... the hope that they're going to screw up.”* “We won the mind war. We just have to scale it up.”* “They use the Charlie Kirk thing to gauge response for when, not if, when they deal with Trump.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Plane Decoded: “Plane says, do you mean you should be able to prove it without showing media of the event?”* Dr. Bass Ackward: “Dr. Bass Ackward says, the prefabricated rabbit holes never get you anywhere.”You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.

August 2, 2026.In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman provides a critical analysis of modern media as a series of engineered theatrical productions rather than spontaneous news events. Ozman introduces the concept of “systemic fakery” and the “meta script,” proposing that major global events are prefabricated decades in advance by government-aligned entertainment directors. The discussion focuses on transitioning the audience from “media believers” to “media Gnostics”—individuals who use pattern recognition to see through the “world stage”. Ozman deconstructs recent events like the Twin Falls shooting and the Trump assassination attempt, framing them as “fast food psyops” designed to manipulate the emotional state of the public and maintain a state of “mind war”.Key Topics* Twin Falls “Nothing Burger”: A deconstruction of the In-N-Out Burger shooting, which Ozman labels a “fast food psyop” characterized by “Scooby-Doo justice”.* Jordan Salinas (The Fearless Patriot): Analysis of an alleged hero who Ozman suggests is a crisis actor because he foreshadowed his role in a social media post two years prior.* Metascriptors: The role of directors like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron in producing “psyop prep” for future global events.* The Off-World Stage Perspective: A mindset of “skeptical suspension” that allows individuals to exit the “mind war” and stop reacting emotionally to media narratives.* Giancarlo Esposito as an Obama Proxy: How the actor is typecast across multiple films to play an “Obama” character antagonistic to “Trump” figures.* The “Dualopoly”: The idea that mainstream and alternative media are two sides of the same closed system designed to triangulate the public.* History Bending: The process where accumulated fake news cycles are merged with real events to create a fictional collective history.* Concurrent Programming: The identification of “engineered coincidences” where media and entertainment release relevant content at the exact same time as a “live” event.* Realville Colony: The establishment of a new intellectual space for those who have “unplugged” from both mainstream and controlled-opposition narratives.* The News Testament: Ozman's term for the “new scripture” provided by media to keep the public in a state of fear and subservience.Notable Quotes* “Time to activate your pattern-recognizing monkey brains.”* “These events are occurring within the confines of a fictional universe.”* “You do have to systematically filter out the incoming fake events.”* “We are invading the world stage space with an outside perspective.”* “Depicting the nuke on the big screen... they're educating us for future fake events.”* “Don't be conscripted into the mind war.”* “There are no coincidences on the world stage... these are engineered coincidences.”* “Conspiracy theories are scripted psyops.”* “Your future has been written in advance.”* “We are psyop critics. Psyop criticism is actually fun and entertaining.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Reading Nate: “I guess you can't recognize the force of fakery. In psyops, they make you forget the past ops.”* Reading Gwylem: “Someone I try to enlighten is having none of it. You have no respect for my ability to interrupt the world.”* Reading Lost But Not Alone: “This old flip-flopping ass channel... You made it to mid-fed agent yet?”* Reading Violet Pangon: “Harrison Ford turned 84 in 713 this year while they're playing out Air Force One stuff... worried over assassinate.”* Reading Ademski: “8-4 was a Tuesday, 9-11 was a Tuesday.”Breakdown: The August 4th (8/4) Assassination PredictionThe broadcast identifies August 4th (8/4) as a date of massive symbolic and “metascripted” importance for a potential global event or “JFK-ification” of Donald Trump. The prediction is based on several converging patterns:* Numerical Significance: 8/4 is the 216th day of the year, which Ozman notes is 6 cubed (6x6x6), invoking “Mark of the Beast” symbolism.* Historical Precedents: 8/4 is the birthday of Barack Obama, the primary “metascript” antagonist to Trump, and the date George Washington became a Mason.* Assassination Connections: James Brady, the press secretary shot during the Reagan assassination attempt, died on 8/4, exactly 33 years after being shot. There was also a failed assassination attempt on Maduro on 8/4/2018.* The “Butler” Loop: Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania—the site of his first head wound—exactly 84 days (12 weeks) after the initial shooting.* Media Deaths: Marilyn Monroe (associated with JFK) died on the night of 8/4. Additionally, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka (whose name sounds like “Trump”) died late on 8/4 after being elected president of his union at age 33.* Predictive Programming: The film Terminator (released in 1984 or 8/4) features an assassination attempt by a sniper. Ozman argues these layers of “concerted messaging” suggest that 8/4 is a target date for a “paradigm-shattering psyop”.You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.

[School of Movies 2026] Dan Trachtenberg, director of 10 Cloverfield Lane has quietly, modestly, and with surety of purpose revolutionised the Predator franchise. Back when Disney bought Fox there were many folks cheering about the X-Men being in the MCU from now on (and Marvel have taken their sweet time with that) whilst still others rightly pointed out that the monopoly and dominion over such an immense market share of IPs that were never theirs and don't fit with the Mickey Mouse mentality was going to be ruinous. At least in the case of Predator, the reverse is true. For three decades, Fox presided over poorly-received Predator sequels, spinoffs, and aborted revivals. Meanwhile the Disney buyout has (through the appointment of Trachtenberg as project leader) resulted in the three freshest takes, cunningly bringing forward some of the most potent elements and letting go of aping of the 80s classic. Prey, and Killer of Killers sought a new demographic of younger people aware of the name and keen to see something relevant to them. But this one actually has something to say about being raised in harsh, cruel, dehumanising cultures, and it does so with passion and humour that won over Willow. This thing is special, and reaches out with exhilarating empathy to guys who have been told they can't ever be sensitive or feel anything other than anger and the desire to dominate the competition. It is, in effect, Redditor: Badlands. This week's After School Club: Predator: Killer of Killers Next week: Spider-Man: Brand New Day

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Highlights: What Fans Need to Know Are you ready for the latest buzz from San Diego Comic-Con? In this post, we'll recap the major announcements, trailers, and surprises from one of the most exciting weekends in pop culture. Comic-Con 2026 has proven to be a standout event, particularly for Marvel and its competitors, as they unveiled thrilling new projects that promise to captivate fans. Let's dive into what made this Comic-Con unforgettable! Marvel Takes Center Stage Marvel absolutely dominated Comic-Con 2026, showcasing their upcoming projects with excitement and flair. One of the most talked-about announcements was Ryan Gosling’s role as Ghost Rider. This unexpected casting choice has fans buzzing, as Gosling’s range as an actor could bring a fresh take on the iconic character. His ability to convey both depth and intensity might just make him the perfect fit for Johnny Blaze. Why Ghost Rider Matters Ghost Rider has historically been a challenging character to adapt, with past attempts falling flat. However, Marvel’s current trajectory suggests they are ready to tackle this supernatural hero with the seriousness it deserves. The involvement of director Sean Levy, known for his work on Deadpool, adds an extra layer of confidence to this project. With Marvel expanding its supernatural universe, Ghost Rider could become a pivotal character alongside titles like Moon Knight and Blade. The Avengers Assemble Again Marvel also revealed extended footage from the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. While details remain under wraps, early reactions suggest that Doctor Doom will emerge as a formidable villain, and fans are eager to see how the X-Men will integrate into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Notably, Peggy Carter's return and Deadpool's surprise appearance during the presentation left audiences electrified, proving that Marvel knows how to create memorable moments that resonate with fans. DC Strikes Back While Marvel stole the spotlight, DC made significant strides with their presentation of the Lanterns series. This new direction appears to focus on mystery and character development, moving away from the big-budget spectacles that have defined past DC films. By exploring a detective story featuring Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart, DC seems poised to offer a fresh perspective that could redefine its cinematic universe. The Importance of a Strong Narrative This approach signifies a shift in DC’s strategy, emphasizing storytelling over spectacle. By leaning into character-driven narratives, DC might finally capture the essence of what makes their heroes compelling. The potential for rich storytelling in the Lanterns series could set a new standard for future DC projects. Apple TV Plus Emerges as a Sci-Fi Contender Apple TV Plus has quietly become a contender in the science fiction genre, showcasing series like Foundation, Silo, and the newly announced Necromancer. This platform’s commitment to intelligent storytelling is commendable, as they invest in unique narratives rather than relying solely on existing franchises. Necromancer, in particular, has garnered attention for its long-awaited adaptation of a beloved cyberpunk classic, raising expectations for high-quality content.

Send us Fan MailScott and Michelle continue their chronological journey through Halloween Horror Nights history with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 22, one of the most experimental and memorable events of the modern era.Rather than centering the event around a single icon, HHN 22 introduced The Legions of Horror, turning nearly the entire park into one massive roaming scare zone filled with vampires, warriors, zombies, prisoners, beasts, and the sinister Iniquitus. It marked the first time since 2007 that Universal focused on one large park-wide scare zone instead of several individual scare zones. The episode also revisits one of the strongest licensed lineups of the early 2010s, including The Walking Dead: Dead Inside, Welcome to Silent Hill—the first video game property ever featured at Halloween Horror Nights—Alice Cooper: Welcome to My Nightmare, and the wildly inventive Penn & Teller: New(kd) Vegas. Scott and Michelle also discuss standout original houses like Dead End, Gothic, and Universal's House of Horrors, which celebrated Universal Pictures' century-long horror legacy. Beyond the houses, they revisit the return of Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, the debut of 20 Penny Circus: Fully Exposed, and the first Halloween Horror Nights Cinematic Spectacular, while discussing how HHN 22 balanced blockbuster IPs with memorable original concepts.Was HHN 22 an underrated classic?

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. Join us at the Race For the Future 12 to raise money for the Foundation For Dental Laborary Technology.

Plus, learn why even technicians who don't own an Ivoclar mill are showing up to these courses—and leaving convinced they need one.Special Guests: Alyse Hifko and Martin Schmid.

This synopsis deconstructs the IPS DEPROGRAM broadcast from July 31, 2026, which details the transition of the Infinite Plane Society from a separatist movement into an active “occupying force” within the alternative media landscape. The session focuses on the “Meta Script,” the predictive programming of a future nuclear event, and the methodology of Media Gnosticism.Glossary of Terms* Auto-Hoaxer: A term formerly used as a pejorative but adopted by IPS to describe someone who recognizes patterns of systemic fakery and assumes news events are simulations until proven otherwise.* Casualty Simulation Drill: A precise term for what is commonly called a “hoax” or “false flag”; it refers to a scripted exercise presented to the public as a real, spontaneous tragedy.* Concurrent Programming: The practice of intensifying specific media themes (such as mushroom clouds in movies) at the same time as related real-world news events to prime the public's subconscious.* Crate Training: The process of using past lockdowns (like 2020) to habituate the human race into self-policing and accepting future restrictions without resistance.* Hoax Indicators: Specific “glitches” or patterns—such as the presence of drills, smiling witnesses, or copy-pasta manifestos—that suggest an event is a simulation.* Media Gnostic: An individual who refuses to “believe” news based on authority and instead relies on direct “knowledge” (gnosis) through pattern recognition and evidentiary deconstruction.* Metascript: The overarching pre-written timeline of future history, which includes staged events, scripted characters, and predictive programming intended to steer the collective paradigm.* Mind AIDS: A compromised mental immune system, created by state education and media, that makes a person susceptible to “mind viruses” and psychological manipulation.* Off-World Stage Perspective: A state of situational awareness where an individual sees the “World Stage” as a fictional universe and is no longer emotionally or intellectually trapped by its narratives.* Realville: The base of operations established by IPS to directly confront “Trutherville” and provide an objective, subtractive analysis of the news.* Squib: A miniature explosive used in special effects to simulate a bullet hit; the host argues this was used in the Charlie Kirk “assassination” simulation.* Trutherville: The realm of alternative media and conspiracy theorists who, despite doubting the mainstream, remain trapped in “psyop soap operas” and “MSM Plus” narratives.* Westworld Syndrome: A condition where “normies” or “synths” live in loops of scripted news cycles without any sense of continuity between past and present fake events.Key Topics and Detailed Analysis1. The Shift to Direct Confrontation: Establishing RealvilleThe host announces that IPS is no longer a separatist movement; it has moved into a phase of “direct confrontation” with the propaganda mules of both mainstream and alternative media. The goal is to establish “Realville” within the heart of “Trutherville” to force content creators to account for their adherence to scripted narratives.* Analysis: This strategy uses “polarization” (Saul Alinsky's Rule 13) to frame the conflict in moral terms, distinguishing between those who serve the “Meta Script” and those who seek the truth.* Direct Quote: “As of July 5th, we've actually decided we're no longer a separatist movement. We're actually establishing what I call Realville right in the middle of Trutherville... This is the point where we engage in direct confrontation with these useful idiots, the stooges, the propaganda mules who are lining up behind controlled opposition narratives.”2. The Trojan Horse: Nolan's The Odyssey and the Nuke EventA major focus of the broadcast is the analysis of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (2026) as a “secret sequel” to Oppenheimer. The host argues that the film uses the Trojan Horse as a metaphor for the nuclear bomb, preparing the public for an “incoming nuke event”.* Analysis: IPS claims to have predicted this subtext before the film's release, viewing Nolan as a “metascriptor” who coordinates with the government to prime the public for future “fake historic events”.* Direct Quote: “The conversation of late has really been around the Odyssey, the Trojan horse as a metaphor for the nuke, Odysseus as Oppenheimer... Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan have been producing a lot of PSYOP prep for the incoming nuke event. Which is incoming. It's inevitable.”3. Lockdowns and the “Crate Training” of HumanityThe broadcast warns that the predicted nuclear event will serve as an excuse for new lockdowns, similar to those in 2020. The host refers to this as “crate training,” where the public is taught to run into their “FEMA camp” (their own home) voluntarily.* Analysis: By removing the “emotional impact” through situational awareness, the IPS listener is intended to witness these events without the drama or fear that paralyzes the “normie” population.* Direct Quote: “They used 2020 to crate train the human race... your home is your FEMA camp. The purpose of the lockdown is basically the same thing... instead of having a prison warden, you become your own prison warden.”4. Case Study: The Charlie Kirk “Squibbing” SimulationThe host provides a detailed deconstruction of a reported assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, arguing that visual evidence (such as a bulging “fake neck”) reveals the use of a “squib” and fake blood.* Analysis: The host posits that Kirk—and related figures like Candace Owens—are “actors” and “agent provocateurs” whose personas and deaths are entirely scripted to maintain the “counterculture” of conspiracy theorists.* Direct Quote: “What you're seeing here, the swollen part is not real skin. The neck bulges, fake neck... My explanation is it's a squib. The exploding microphone is disinformation. They don't want you to know he was a crisis actor. They don't want you to know his entire persona was staged and fake.”5. Media Gnosticism: The Difference Between Knowing and BelievingThe session emphasizes the philosophical distinction between “believers” and “knowers.” Believing is characterized as a “submissive” act of trust in authorities, while Gnosticism involves suspending judgment until facts are verified.* Analysis: The host argues that both mainstream and alternative audiences are “believers” who merely mirror each other's prejudices, whereas the IPS perspective seeks to be “skeptical” and “off-world stage”.* Direct Quote: “If you don't know, but you believe, you're a believer... Belief is an inferior way to process the news. It just means that I'm not actually relying on facts. I'm just trusting. It's actually very submissive.”6. The Meta Script: Engineering History Decades in AdvanceUsing Donnie Darko (2001) as an example, the host argues that the “Butler, Pennsylvania” event (referring to a Trump-related incident) was planned at least 24 years in advance. He notes that the director's father worked for NASA, which he calls a primary “shaper of inner space”.* Analysis: This “history bending” creates a “News Testament” or “Meta Scripture” that synchronizes the world's population into a singular, manufactured paradigm.* Direct Quote: “Donnie Darko... contains 9-11 references... and the father says to the mother, ‘Our Donnie dodged a bullet, Rose.' ... 24 years before he was shot, it was already on the docket. It was on the program.”7. The Spiritual Mind War: Consciousness as the Final FrontierA significant portion of the broadcast (sparked by a debate with a listener) explores the idea that “mind is spirit” and that psychological operations are actually attacks on human consciousness. The host argues for “panpsychism” and the idea that the universe is “participatory”.* Analysis: The “Materialistic Paradigm” is viewed as a tool of the state to keep people at the “bottom rung of consciousness” and ignorant of their own “higher nature”.* Direct Quote: “If mind is spirit, and is there a difference?... if it's mind control, how is it not spirit control? How is it not... maintaining you as a sheeple, as an animal... and to suppress the expression of consciousness?”8. The “Monolith” and the Fusion of Real and FakeThe host interprets Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and the “X” (Twitter) logo through the lens of the “Monolith,” symbolizing the monolithic control over human perception.* Analysis: The “eclipse” over the monolith represents the fusion of waking consciousness (solar) and the subconscious (lunar), or the merging of news and fiction into a single “scripture”.* Direct Quote: “The monolith is the monolithic control over perception. It's the worldview monopoly... the eclipse... represents the fusion of real and fake as we are processing through the screen or the monolith.”Conclusion: The Inoculation against “Mind AIDS”The broadcast concludes by offering the “off-world stage perspective” as a “cure for mind AIDS”. By understanding the “Meta Script” and the mechanics of media manipulation, the individual is said to be “inoculated” against future psyops and emotional triggers. The host announces that the Intro to Metascript course is now free and serves as the fundamental training for this new “pattern literacy”. This is a public episode.

This synopsis provides a comprehensive breakdown of the July 30, 2026, IPS DEPROGRAM, a broadcast centered on the intersection of media manipulation, the “Meta Script,” and the emergence of a high-tech dark age. The session serves as a foundational deconstruction of how modern reality is manufactured through a blend of news and entertainment.Glossary of Terms* Auto-Hoaxer: A media deconstructionist who assumes an event is staged or simulated until proven otherwise, rather than the reverse.* Controlled Opposition: Entities in alternative media that appear to fight the establishment but operate within its closed system of logic and narratives.* Conspiratainment: The use of conspiracy theories (such as “Mud Flood” or “Satanic Cabals”) as a form of escapist entertainment that distracts from the mundane reality of government-led psychological warfare.* Kayfabe: A term from professional wrestling referring to the “fake” nature of the performance that is presented as real to the audience; the host applies this to politics and news.* Media Gnosticism: The practice of being a “knower” rather than a “believer,” relying on pattern recognition and facts rather than faith in media sources.* Meta Script: The pre-written timeline of future “fake” historic events that are performed as news and eventually recorded as history.* MSM Minus (The Subtractive View): A perspective that removes simulated elements from the news cycle to find truth, rather than adding new conspiracy narratives.* Predictive Programming: The use of movies and entertainment to “prime” or condition the public to accept future scripted events as they happen in the news.* Visual Illiteracy: A state of dependency created by AI where the public can no longer distinguish between real and fake imagery, requiring authorities to tell them what is real.* World Stage: The manufactured, fictional universe created by the media-driven paradigm, operating like a movie franchise or a series.Key Topics and Analysis1. The New Illiteracy and the High-Tech Dark AgeThe host argues that generative AI and the perfection of digital fakery have condemned the public to a state of visual illiteracy. This has effectively undone the gains of the Enlightenment and the Reformation. In this new “Dark Age,” people can no longer rely on their own senses to determine reality.* Topic Insight: This illiteracy creates a state of abject dependency on “priesthoods” (fact-checkers and media authorities) to designate what is real.* Direct Quote: “We can no longer rely on our eyes to let us know what is real, what is fake. It's indistinguishable at this point... it requires that we, the illiterates, need the authorities to tell us what is and what isn't real. It's put us into a state of dependency.”2. The World Stage as a Fictional UniverseThe sources suggest that the “World Stage” is not a series of random events but a singular, interconnected timeline of simulations. This “fictional universe” functions like a movie franchise where all actors must stay on the same “sheet” to maintain the illusion.* Topic Insight: This stage is built on a duopoly of mainstream and alternative media, both of which are identified as “establishment”.* Direct Quote: “The world stage functions, like a fictional universe... they exist as a fictional universe. Sort of like a TV show. Or a series. Or even a movie franchise... They just can't contradict it because everyone has to be on the same sheet.”3. Media Gnosticism: Knowing vs. BelievingThe host advocates for Media Gnosticism, where the individual refuses to “believe” headlines or sources regardless of bias. Instead, the goal is to be an informed non-believer who recognizes patterns of fakery.* Topic Insight: Belief is characterized as a “loser position” that relies on prejudice, whereas knowledge is based on the suspension of judgment until facts are present.* Direct Quote: “The difference between a knower and a believer is that the believer has accepted the questionable ethics of trusting something... even if the facts don't support it... This is media Gnosticism. Media Gnostics. And if you don't know, you don't have to believe.”4. The Meta Script and Predictive ProgrammingA core concept of the IPS is that history is written in advance. Entertainment acts as “product placement” or “conditioning” for future news events. This process creates a “News Testament” that eventually settles into a “distorted version of history”.* Topic Insight: The host provides specific examples of characters in movies (like Biff Tannen or Donnie Darko) serving as “proxies” for public figures like Donald Trump.* Direct Quote: “Movies are there to set the stage, to prime the audience, Conditioning you to accept what's coming. It's like product placement and advertisement for future fake historic events.”5. The New World Religion and Secular SuperstitionThe broadcast posits that mass media has replaced traditional religion with a new monotheism centered on “God constructs” like Gaia, Space, and Science Fiction. Secular concepts like “the virus” are described as updated versions of original sin, requiring a new “priesthood” to divide the saved from the unsaved.* Topic Insight: Space has replaced Heaven as a unifying myth, allowing different religions to disagree on theology while agreeing on the “scientific” paradigm.* Direct Quote: “Mass media has replaced religion... it's certainly a religion full of superstition and full of God constructs... Gaia, God construct, space as the new heaven. Sin has been updated... they've been given a secular replacement in the virus.”6. Case Study: The “Christification” of Political FiguresThe host analyzes the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump through the lens of scripted roles. He notes that Trump's survival and the “head wound” mirror symbolic elements from both Biblical prophecy (Revelation 13) and cinematic “Trump proxies” who have been killed or shot in 2024 films.* Topic Insight: The host suggests “blading”—a wrestling technique to produce blood—as a potential explanation for the ear wound, noting Trump's status as a Wrestling Hall of Famer.* Direct Quote: “Trump counterparts in entertainment have all been dying... Caesar Catalina, based on Trump, Getting shot in a failed assassination attempt... The Butler, Pennsylvania event was right out of Revelation 13, where the Antichrist... sustains a head wound, but he miraculously survives.”7. Case Study: Christopher Nolan and the Nuclear NarrativeA significant portion of the broadcast deconstructs Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (referenced in the source as a 2026 film) as a “secret sequel” to Oppenheimer. The host predicted the movie would contain nuclear subtext and that the trailers would reinforce this theme with “nuke smart” messaging.* Topic Insight: The host uses this as proof of concurrent programming, where government-linked directors (like Nolan) use art to reinforce the “Atomic Age” mythos and prepare the public for a “fake nuke” or “end war”.* Direct Quote: “Odysseus equals Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan is making a statement with this movie about nukes... I correctly called the movie would have a major subtext about nukes before the movie came out, and I correctly predicted the trailers would reiterate the main theme.”8. The Failure of “Trutherville” and ConspiratainmentThe host critiques the “Truthers” for being more ignorant than mainstream “Normies” because they accept a heavier dosage of propaganda disguised as rebellion. “Mud Flood” and “Tartaria” theories are labeled as “conspiratainment”—fantasies that keep people from noticing the real-time manufacturing of history.* Topic Insight: By focusing on “ancient resets” and “parasites,” the conspiracy community wastes a “cognitive surplus” that could otherwise be used to deconstruct the Meta Script.* Direct Quote: “The truthers are something of a joke... you're actually more ignorant than the mainstreamers. Because you've been given a heavier dosage of propaganda. And you've been set up to be the heel.”Conclusion: Auto-Hoax AccelerationismThe broadcast concludes with a call for “auto-hoax accelerationism,” urging an informed audience of “media gnostics” to directly confront the manufactured paradigm. The host emphasizes that the IPS is not just a channel but an “objectivist think tank” designed to inoculate the mind against “mind viruses” and “mind AIDS”—the compromised mental immune systems created by the state educational and media apparatus. The goal is to move from the “fringe” to the “cutting edge” by making the deconstruction of fake events more entertaining than the fakes themselves. This is a public episode.

I walk through what a network is, why businesses rely on it, and how PAN, LAN, and WAN show up in real life, from Bluetooth devices to the internet itself.From there, we connect the dots across the gear and the settings: what switches do inside a LAN, why routers matter for getting online, how modems talk to your ISP, and what an access point really does for Wi‑Fi. We cover IP addressing with clean examples, the difference between private and public IPs, and how NAT translates between them. Then we hit the “must know” services: DHCP for automatic configuration, DNS for turning names into numbers, and the core ports that show up again and again. I also share a quick help desk story that proves why “never guess, always verify” saves time.The second half expands beyond networking into the wider set of IT support fundamentals: laptop design and upgrade limits, battery safety, modern connectors like USB‑C power delivery, docking stations, mobile tech like NFC and biometrics, and printer troubleshooting that becomes easy once you understand the printer type and the laser process. We wrap with practical explanations of virtualization and cloud computing, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, plus why the smartest solution is often the right service, not more hardware.Subscribe for more CompTIA A+ and IT certification study help, share this with a friend who's studying, and leave a review so more new techs can find the show.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

The lockout follows a recent VW API change that also cut off third-party smart-charging and home-automation tools, raising questions about EU Data Act compliance.   A 19-year-old alleged Scattered Spider member's globe-trotting VPN op-sec got shredded by a Windows telemetry ID he probably didn't know existed. - https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-device-identifier-tracking/ Peter Stokes (dual US-Estonian, 19) allegedly ran an $8M extortion hit on a luxury retailer using voice-phishing, ngrok tunneling, and 77GB of S3 exfil — but the FBI cross-referenced his Microsoft Global Device Identifier (GDID) across Apple, Snapchat, Facebook, and even a Ubisoft login to place the same device on the same IPs in Tallinn, NYC, and Thailand, matching his travel records. Microsoft has since acknowledged using the GDID to track the user across three countries — meaning the VPN masked his network endpoint, but the GDID rendered that protection moot.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Glenn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennmedina/ Jason - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-seemann-12b7075/

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week, Elvis and Barb are coming to you from the FDLA Symposium at the GPS Digital RPD booth with two conversations that prove one thing: dental technology never stops evolving. First up, Chris Bradley from SmileLine USA returns to the podcast alongside technician, educator, and lab owner Richard Wodzinski, with Dawn Roniger from GC America joining the discussion. What starts as a conversation about "sexy brushes" quickly turns into a deep dive into one of the most intriguing shade-matching workflows you'll hear about. Richard explains how the OptiShade camera and Matisse software work together to create incredibly accurate shade recipes for everything from monolithic zirconia to layered ceramics and even gingiva. They also discuss the latest Creation Magic Color system, hands-on education, custom shade appointments, and why reducing remakes isn't just good for labs—it's better for doctors and patients too. Add in some FDLA leadership talk and a shared passion for education, and you've got a conversation packed with practical ideas and plenty of laughs. Then Elvis and Barb sit down with Kaveh Shams, Branch Manager for Zirkonzahn Canada, whose journey into digital dentistry spans London, Italy, and Canada. Kaveh shares how his admiration for Enrico Steger and Zirkonzahn eventually led to his dream job, while also offering a fascinating look into the company's history, philosophy, and commitment to education.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Show Notes Episode Overview Operator kicks off the episode feeling under the weather but shares a quick tip for making perfect egg drop soup before diving into his main project: diagnosing why his front-door security camera stopped sending alerts and recording events. What follows is a live-debugging session covering network config, script logging, Windows permission hacks, NTP time drift, and firmware flashing. Key Topics & Breakdown Egg Drop Soup Hack: How to get that perfect ribbony texture by creating a boiling swirl before pouring in the eggs, plus broth-to-egg ratio tips. Camera Setup & Network Config: Using static DHCP via MAC address binding on a UniFi Dream Machine (UDM) for local domain resolution instead of hardcoding IPs. Python & Cron Automation: Running a custom Python script every 2 minutes to check for new recordings, parsing logs with grep -v , and navigating massive log files in vi . Windows Troubleshooting Tangent: Deleting the stubborn Windows.old folder using the TrustedInstaller service hack ( ExecTI.exe ) instead of taking ownership manually. Time Sync & Firmware Quirks: Discovering the camera's system clock was stuck in 2011/2026, causing missed events. Downloading firmware via a slow third-party link, renaming .bin to .zip , and extracting with 7-Zip. Pre-Flash Backup Routine: Exporting camera configuration before upgrading, storing it in Google Drive for searchable documentation, and clearing old log/trigger files to reset the event pipeline. ️ Tools & Techniques Mentioned crontab + Python scripts for automated monitoring grep -v , cat , tail , and vi (line navigation with :1000 ) Obsidian for note-taking & AI assistant integration Firefox/Playwright for headless browser testing Turbo Download Manager & Bolt Media Downloader for multi-threaded/sniffing downloads 7-Zip for archive extraction Google Drive for searchable config backups Resources & Links Python API Script: Uniview IPC3628SR Recording Checker Camera Model: IPC3628SR (Uniview Wyze ISP Warm Light Deterrent Network Camera) TrustedInstaller Run-as Tool: ExecTI TrustedInstaller Runner Quick Takeaways Always verify NTP/time sync on IoT cameras before troubleshooting missed events or alerts. Use grep -v "noise" to quickly filter out repetitive log entries when debugging automation scripts. Windows system folders can be stubborn; running commands as TrustedInstaller bypasses hidden file locks without manual ownership changes. Always export and back up device configs before flashing firmware, even if the upgrade seems straightforward. Third-party download links often use temporary tokens or .bin wrappers; renaming to .zip and verifying with 7-Zip can save headaches. Thanks for listening! Stay curious, keep your logs clean, and remember: defense in depth starts at home. Example trusted installer hack # Shhhh I can't IR ...

What can plan sponsors (and advisors) learn from litigation?  As it turns out, a lot – even if you aren't responsible for a billion-dollar plan.There are, of course, things to be learned from litigation.  We've learned that the plaintiffs' bar doesn't (always) knowhow to calculate fees (they rely on Form 5500), doesn't know how to calculate performance, and doesn't appreciate important distinctions in target-date fund glidepaths.  Though some do, of course. But the lessons drawn from litigation can serve as a reminder that fiduciaries should never assume, and never take anything for granted.  Particularly not only what the law allows, but what the plandocument permits.In a special edition of the Nevin & Fred podcast (or, if you prefer, a special edition of Prime Capital's The Reish Brief), Nevin (Adams) and Fred (Reish) cover a wide range of topics with plenty of lessons to learn.  We're talking about things like:1. Annual Beneficiary Checkups: Treat beneficiary designations like milk in the fridge—check them at least annually (and after marriage/divorce), because tiny “paperwork sins” like using 33⅓% instead of whole numbers can void the change and send everyone to court.2. Zombie Beneficiary Cleanup: Don't let auto-enrollment create “beneficiary-less zombies” in your plan; track thepercentage of participants missing designations and run a recurring campaign to get them completed before a claim turns into a family feud.3. Documented Prudence Wins: Win lawsuits the boring way: hold regular (often quarterly) committee meetings, usean IPS that guides without handcuffing you, hire qualified advisors, keep written reports, and document why you kept or replaced investments—because ERISA wants prudence, not psychic powers.4. Defensible Glidepath Choices: Target-date funds can be sued for being too conservative when markets soar and too aggressive when markets tank, so pick a glidepath based onworkforce demographics/industry realities and communicate the “why” to participants like Intel did.5. Forfeiture Compliance Trap: Forfeitures are the new litigation piñata: confirm your plan is using forfeitures exactlyas the document says today, and prepare for upcoming restatements that may force you to hardwire a specific forfeiture-use method instead of “we'll decide later.”That's right – all that – and more!Episode Resources:Court Says Call Center Communication Didn't Change Beneficiary Designation.Appellate Court Backs Beneficiary DesignationBeneficiary Disclosures Trigger Fiduciary Breach Suit, AppealSeason 4 Episode 2 "Glidepaths and 'Guide' Paths” | Nevin & Fred % %Season 5 Episode 7: Nevin & Fred – Has the Forfeiture Tide Turned? | Nevin & Fred % %  

Hey friends! Still your grieving pal over here, but also your swarming friend and Protecting My Network Edge host — because this week I've been tinkering with something called Project Swarm and I've got my diapers on regarding it, but I really, really like what I see so far. Then, fair warning, I flip on the tangent light and verbally barf up some personal stuff at the end. I'll make the hand-off super clear, so if you want your free security podcast to do exactly what you want and nothing else — totally fair, and you won't offend me by hopping off. Here's what we cover: What is Project Swarm? This comes to us from our friends over at GreyNoise. It centers around little sensors you deploy to the edges of your network that you can dress up to look like just about anything — attracting flies to the honey, if you catch my drift. You get more enumeration, insight, and logging into whatever shenanigans those flies are using to poke at your edge. Setup was refreshingly easy: You need a very low-powered VM or hardware device (my understanding is it even works on a Raspberry Pi) mapped to a public IP, plus a free GreyNoise account. You generate an API key, copy-paste a one-line install, and off it goes. I threw mine on a tiny Ubuntu VM. The part where I didn't read the flipping manual: Mid-install my SSH connection dropped and I'm going "what the heck?!" Turns out the installer intentionally moves your real SSH to some arbitrary high port — so you can run a fake SSH honeypot on 22 while your legit connection lives elsewhere. Once I spotted the new port in the console, a quick firewall tweak and I was back in. Profiles give me level 14 giggidies: Once your sensor checks in, you assign it a profile. Vulnerable WordPress, Tomcat, a Cisco AnyConnect VPN, FTP honeypot, SSH honeypot — kind of all the honeypots. I went with a vulnerable WordPress instance. My one complaint: you can only assign one profile per sensor. My dream scenario of an SSH honeypot AND an FTP AND a vulnerable Tomcat all on one box will have to wait (or maybe that'd look too suspicious and scare the baddies off — who knows). The results were wild: Within a couple days I had thousands of connections, several flagged as malicious and tied to known botnets. I could see source IPs, malicious labels, whether they were residential or company or Google, and even download raw packet captures. There's clearly more telemetry to dig into (what people tried to spray into the login portal, etc.) — I meant to go deeper before recording and didn't, so consider this a "to be continued." Why do I care, since I'm not defending some huge infrastructure? Honestly it started as a brain break. But I've been testing a ton of external networks lately and nearly every company site is WordPress — which now powers around 43% of the internet. Running my own WordPress honeypot gives real oomph to those "your out-of-date WordPress is a big deal" conversations, where I can say "I run a WordPress honeypot and here's the aggressive password spraying and plugin/theme enumeration I'm seeing right now." See it, don't just hear it: I show the actual portal, sensor config pages, and more over on 7MinSec.club this week. Why not both, right? It's like that meme. GreyNoise also has a Project Swarm user webinar coming up — check their events page. And to be crystal clear: they are not a sponsor, this is all free, and I just think it's clever. Life update (the tangent portion): About the time you hear this, I'll be on my way to my dad's funeral, where I'm sharing some words and singing a song. I've been practicing like a madman per advice from my music director friend and guitar teacher — including a little brain hack of focusing hard on my fingers to stay a half-step removed from the emotion. And if I cry my face off up there? Who cares. This isn't America's Got Talent; it's the gesture. I'll be honest, 2026 has been a rough one, but I promised two bright spots and here they are: my son Cam (about to finish paramedic school) has been keeping grandpa's spirit alive by wearing my dad's shirts, sunglasses, and Apple watch, and getting a Cessna tattoo with my dad's actual handwriting and birth year. And you all — the kind words, the offers to talk, the shared stories — reminded me there are a whole lot of good people out there. Thank you for that. One more thing on the horizon: My brain's been a squirrel on pixie sticks, but for whatever reason I've been happily grinding the CARTP as a little vacation for my mind. I might take a swing at the exam this week — start it in the evening, grind a few hours, sleep, finish in the morning (I'm too old for 24 hours straight). I might pass, I might fail spectacularly. Either way I'll keep you posted, and if I get the cert, that's probably next week's topic!
