If you have any need to interrogate / explore USB devices, this CLI tool is *amazing*. Using it on both macOS and Linux here. Super impressive compared to lsusb etc (and compatible with the same output format if needed) https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme

Today's entry in "Wow, that's a Bullshit CVE": https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46386

Basically, if you evaluate remote user input as code, the remote user can execute code. *shockedpikachuface*

I would like to point out that CVEs define publicly known vulnerabilities in publicly released software packages. So if the guy/gal wants to publicly release their "example code" as a software package, they could get a CVE for *that*. But not for the code eval function they misused.

THIS is the moment I've been waiting for!
I've always wanted a "solar skin" on my car. Or even on my backpack, with a USB port inside for charging my devices.

Four decades ago the only available candidate was amorphous semiconductors that you can put on a flexible substrate: look up Sharp and Ovonics for those. The (big) problems:
1. the efficiency sucked;
2. the semiconductors degraded under solar UV exposure.

It was frustrating.
But no more!

I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Every version of the PuTTY tools from 0.68 to 0.80 inclusive has a critical vulnerability in the code that generates signatures from ECDSA private keys. Tthe effect of the vulnerability is to compromise the private key https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/vuln-p521-bias.html #infosec #security #ssh #opensource #linux #unix #windows

NEW RESEARCH PAPER OUT! In this paper, @grimalkina and I explore how #code review anxiety is maintained and exacerbated to develop a model of code review anxiety. We also go a step further to develop and test the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for code review anxiety, so that we can reduce code review anxiety in an evidence-based and empirically-supported way (because science > vibes): https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8k5a4

Tip for people on #Windows using multiple desktops:

If there are certain windows that you'd like to span all your desktops (like music, etc), you can do that in the options when right clicking the preview in Task View (WIN + Tab)

#PPOD: Pictured, behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. T Also captured were unusual cloud ripples above the pileus cloud. The formation of a rare pileus cloud capping a common cumulus cloud is an indication that the lower cloud is expanding upward and might well develop into a storm. Credit: Jiaqi Sun
