    Let’s start the week with another early release talk from DEF CON 34 - this time it’s ‘ESP32 as a counter-surveillance platform’. The humble, reasonably-priced microcontroller, along with an emerging group of open-source applications, are helping democratize counter-surveillance. Enjoy, and pass it on. https://youtu.be/PcK-TDmzshc #defcon #defcon34

    When l was a teenager, I babysat a kid across the street who had to win every game we played or else he'd pitch a DEFCON 5 tantrum, screaming, rolling around on the floor, throwing things. He was four. IMO that's one year longer than that shit should be tolerated.

    I kinda think that's precisely the point of DefCon; all is not lost if you own a player on the wrong side of a battering. Yes your upside should be very limited - you're talking 2 extra points - but objectively Anderson did what he needed to gain them too in the game Imho think it's good for FPL!

    I said it earlier in the season, and I stand by it, DEFCON (in its current form) has ruined the game. Granted, the standard of football overall in the league has massively deteriorated too and that's played a part but the masses just constantly flock to DEFCON players for consistent 4 point returns.
