he was able to hack an iPad mini tablet running iOS 18, the previous generation of the operating system that is vulnerable to DarkSword, using the “in the wild” DarkSword sample that is circulating online.
Apple spokesperson Sarah O’Rourke told TechCrunch that the company was aware of the exploit targeting devices running older and out-of-date operating systems and issued an emergency update on March 11 for devices unable to run recent versions
Storm is a rescue who came into our lives one night in the middle of a crazy storm (hence the name) in the backcountry near Big White BC. We were out in the back forty searching for a forestry crew reported to be stuck on an FSR by a bunch of downed trees.
We had stopped to get our bearings and plan our approach route when one of the team was like: “do you guys hear a cat?”.
The wind was howling and the rain was beating down and it was pretty impossible to hear anything.
We’re like: “No dude, there’s no cat”. And he’s like: “Seriously, I hear a cat!”
And lo and behold, hunkered down by the wheel of the truck, there was this tiny orange kitten. He was pretty emaciated and likely wouldn’t have survived another night in the woods, according to the vet we took him to the following day.
Anyway, now he likes to remind us that he’s a fierce, independent kitty so he’ll come and sit next to you, but with his back turned. Occasionally he’ll roll over and ask for—no, demand—a few scritches.

I'm going to Sound like Sousa as I say this, but something is lost when the home enthusiast can't connect with audiences without paying an ever-higher toll.
Sousa was largely right. There are music groups that meet up at cafes in town, but not in ones and twos on porches, at least not near me.
I know this has been said before, but I'm still salty about it and I've got a fresh emotional wound from this slide, so I'll say it again:
The complexity of handling spam that mostly killed the ability of small orgs to self-host email is arriving unevenly for web hosting, and that's incredibly sad and frustrating.
