If people loosing access to their books when the vendor goes out of business was already bad, now the same thing is happening to cars: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/10/connected-car-failure-puts-kibosh-on-sale-of-3300-fisker-oceans/

I know, it is happening all over the place, merely with pieces of technology not quite as expensive. Maybe, just maybe, having basic functionality depend on external components isn’t such a great idea?

And since I don’t see “the market” ever discovering this, maybe some regulation is in order? Just so the next tech startup going out of business (or merely unwilling to support “outdated” hardware) isn’t an occasion to throw away tons of products in perfect working order.

How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan

Also: "We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found on the internet. It’s pretty fucked up." WAT?!

Lamborghini Carjackers Lured by $243M Cyberheist

The parents of a 19-year-old Connecticut honors student accused of taking part in a $243 million cryptocurrency heist in August were carjacked a week later — while out house-hunting in a brand new Lamborghini. Prosecutors say the couple was beaten and briefly kidnapped by six young men who traveled from Florida as part of a botched plan to hold the parents for ransom.

Horizon3: Palo Alto Expedition: From N-Day to Full Compromise
References:

• CVE-2024-5910 (CVSSv4: 9.3 critical, disclosed 10 July 2024 by Palo Alto Networks) Expedition: Missing Authentication Leads to Admin Account Takeover
• CVE-2024-9464 Expedition: Authenticated Command Injection
• CVE-2024-9465 Expedition: Unauthenticated SQL Injection
• CVE-2024-9466 Expedition: Cleartext Credentials in Logs

Daaaaaaaamn @hacks_zach, Zach Hanley at it again with the Palo Alto Networks vulnerabilities. In trying to find CVE2-2024-5910 in Expedition (a configuration migration tool from a supported vendor to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS), he found CVE-2024-9464, CVE-2024-9465 and CVE-2024-9466. It appears that CVE-2024-9465 (unauth SQL injection) leads to leaking credentials via "users" and "devices" tables which contain password hashes and device API keys. This is the CVE-2024-9466.

Exploiting AMD atdcm64a.sys arbitrary pointer dereference - Part 3 https://security.humanativaspa.it/exploiting-amd-atdcm64a-sys-arbitrary-pointer-dereference-part-3/

Yesterday's Nobel Prize, in "physics," can be questioned as grotesque. Today's from Chemistry - fully justified. We are waiting for literature and "peace". Although we may have to wait a little longer for the latter, and there has never been a peace Nobel for nuclear weapons.

This year #Physics #NobelPrize was given to Hopfield and Hinton for their work on neural networks and machine learning.

Currently a lot of Physicists scratching their heads and wondering how machine learning is Physics, but:
* Physicists have taken Nobel prizes in Medicine and Chemistry a lot over the years, so I don't think it is fair for us to complain.
* Hopfield networks and Bolzmann machines are probably the two most "Physics adjacent" architectures for a neural network.

Overall, unexpected but well deserved.
