Forbes is warning us that Android phones are under severe risk due to a kernel vulnerability:
forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/20…
This comes from Google's Android security bulletin for February:
source.android.com/docs/securi…
...which informs us that "There are indications that CVE-2024-53104 may be under limited, targeted exploitation". The vulnerability in question, though, is CVE-2024-53104:
lwn.net/ml/all/2024120232-CVE-…
...which is in the uvcvideo camera driver. Either I'm missing something badly, or the only way to exploit this would be to plug a malicious camera device into the phone. I can see why they would want to fix this, but I'm not sure it's a red-alert situation for most of us?

OMG. "White House says Canada has 'misunderstood' tariff order as a trade war, Mexico is 'serious'"
The folk in the WH are so incredibly incompetent. What did they freaking think would happen?
We have misunderstood nothing.
As for the fake reasons, how about the US being held accountable for the guns coming over our borders. Now THAT is a real issue. As are people pouring over OUR border to escape orange.
it should be noted they didn't apply 25% on oil, just 10%. Because we know how Americans are with the price of gas. Probably as mad as with their gun "rights". It would be bad if gas prices went above what they ever where under the previous administration.
(Canada should add a 15% export tariff on it, to level it up)

Po takřka čtyřech desetiletích s příjmením Toman se nově učím představovat jako Jiří Beran. Je to zvláštní pocit — máloco je zároveň tak osobní i veřejné, jako jméno.
Upřímně jsem docela dlouho přemýšlel, jak vlastně tuto změnu osvětlit těm, co se budou ptát. Tak pokud náhodou tu tázací chuť máte, můžete mrknout sem: sudetype.com/clanky/jiri-toman…
Každopádně pokud mě náhodou oslovíte mým původním příjmením, až se příště uvidíme, nic se neděje. Sám si teprve zvykám :)
