Getting tired of people doing a bunch of llm assisted reverse engineering and making big claims about devices (cough LG and other TVs) and not providing evidence to support these claims. It goes without saying that pretty much all are spying on you, but how it does that matters..

You know that not a single politician gives a shit about the climate change when they let this happen. This would also be literally the perfect opportunity to have these companies build or indirectly fund the building of low carbon electricity generation.
In the rush to build data centers, companies are starting to use their own off grid gas generators. This results in much higher emissions – 60% to 80% – compared with using their local electricity grid and risks locking in longer-term fossil dependence.

The concept of an Arab guy who goes by “Abdul El-Sayed” to come off as less ethnic
Illuminating exchange with a 19 year old voter in Detroit, worried about @AbdulElSayed’s name. @AJEnglish #Midterms2026 #Michigan

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao theverge.com/policy/1016751/…

What a fucking terrible day/two for sysadmins and related folk. I hope there's never a day like this again (there will be, probably sooner than you'd hope).

Oh god: The p384 private keys are randomly selected integers between 1 and 256, the private keys are effectively all-zeroes apart from the last byte

We definitely should give the feds a backdoor to all encryption. They can be trusted to keep such things secret and secure!

It is Coruna, the state-sponsored iOS exploit kit. All this requires is your Apple device to visit a website and (assuming you're running the targeted iOS version) you're cooked. Although, from my initial bonking of it, it appears this delivers two different payloads depending on the iOS version. Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about iOS exploitation and iOS malware, so I have no idea what I'm doing. I encouraged my peers and colleagues to review it. It is good goop. I've archived the payloads from the compromised domain. The shared link is below. pic unrelated

One can only hope
Big runup in oil futures over the past week. Gas prices have stabilized/declined a bit but are lagging relative to oil. This is what may be facing voters as they go to the polls on Nov. 3.

So fucking dystopian (though not new)

3/ Discover-Tech's platform enables spyware firms to mass profile and deanonymize users, then covertly hack them by displaying seemingly-benign ads containing zero-click exploits to install spyware.

I genuinely hope that all the SaaS companies die a painful death now. Kind of ironic how they wanted to replace people with AI, and are now suffering the same fate.

The Italians as well. What is going on teapaw.org/autocar/status/2109348…
Is this the most unexpected revival of the year? The divisive Fiat Multipla is back, and now it's a cross between a pick-up and SUV buff.ly/iaAMYQN

I’ve had a few people write to ask me to follow up on a (reply!) tweet I wrote that’s gotten a lot of retweets. I considered deleting it just to avoid the headache, but I think that would make people more paranoid. So let me share my thoughts.

the safety people at Anthropic have gone insane
