This was driving me nuts: Even though I set #Firefox to always ask where it saves files, sometimes when I accessed PDF's it saved them in my Downloads directory without question.

It seems `browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir=true` solves this problem but I still can't wrap my head around why they implemented this exceptional behavior (and why there is no visible setting for it).

We just posted our AttackerKB @rapid7 Analysis for the recent Cisco ASA 0day chain; CVE-2025-20362 and CVE-2025-20333. The auth bypass appears to be a patch bypass of an older 2018 vuln. The buffer overflow is in a Lua endpoint, but unsafe native code operations allow a buffer to be overflowed and memory corruption to occur. Full technical root cause analysis here: https://attackerkb.com/topics/Szq5u0xgUX/cve-2025-20362/rapid7-analysis

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: https://www.theverge.com/news/793579/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-bypass-workaround-changes

I am constantly feeling like parents have to take daily Alignment checks during Autumn Snot Season. Checks are administered by daycare/school staff.

I'm gonna need an alignment chart for this 😄

Remember the old days?

Why aren't today's routers made out of wood?

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
