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. Since the android application is basically what makes your phone run in the first place, this makes sense for it. That’s why it’s a big issue when malware gets its hands on the platform certificate used by the android application. Bad actors can gain the same far-reaching permissions as this core service.

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. So how long does it take to charge up the battery from the solar panels? I imagine it must take a long time.
