Today, Frederic Besse told me that he managed to do something different. Did you know, that you can run a whole virtual machine inside of ChatGPT?
This is crazy! None of these commands are actually running, the output is just what the AI thinks should be the output. Thing is, it’s almost always right.

Spotted by Google malware reverse engineering expert Łukasz Siewierski (via Mishaal Rahman), the certificates in question are platform certificates meant to verify the authenticity of the “android” application that’s part of every phone, but are also used to sign individual apps from manufacturers. The problem is that this core android application has the highest level of access to the system, allowing it almost unrestricted access to user data.

Beam’s EV ARC chargers can generate and store their own electricity by harnessing renewable energy from the sun. The charging infrastructure is designed to handle extreme weather with flood-proof capabilities up to 9.5 feet and wind resistance of 125 mph.
I wonder how long this takes to charge. I assume it charges up a portable battery over time and then uses that to charge a vehicle.

I think I might get the new 12.9” iPad Pro. My iPad Air 2 is definitely showing its age.

Introducing InAppBrowser.com, a simple tool to list the JavaScript commands executed by the iOS app rendering the page.
Krause’s tool lets anyone investigate what might be leaking through in-app browsers. Apps that use Apple’s SafariViewController are all pretty safe, but apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook are using their own in-app browsers that modify pages with JavaScript.
TikTok, in particular, is monitoring all keyboard inputs and taps.

Many Rogers customers across Canada reported losing mobile and internet services early Friday morning, with the provider eventually confirming the issue hours later. Rogers has not yet released an update on the cause of Friday’s outage.
This is a pretty huge outage, coast to coast, even impacting 9-1-1 service.

I truly believe we’re witnessing the downfall of America.

Version 12.1, released today, brings a brand new implementation, however, which lets you populate a template document either from your contacts or a spreadsheet.
I’ll rarely make use of this, but pretty neat/useful nonetheless.
