‼️H&R Block Business 2025 Backdoor‼️
I found a TLS backdoor in H&R Block software. They install a wildcard root CA (expiry 2049) into your trusted root certificate store and include the private key in the application DLL.
You can get a cheap Wi-Fi enabled camera intended for sticking in your ear for less than $5.
You know what else it's good for?
Reading tiny print on tiny chips. Here's a comparison of this device vs. an iPhone 16.
You're welcome.
Miracle Gro:
Here's some fertilizer. Half a capful is all you need.
Miracle Gro later:
We need more money. Let's make it FOUR LARGE PUMPS of the liquid. Why not charge people for water?
Is the goal to have (some) macOS window radiuses similar to the physical screen radius on an iPhone?
If so, why?
Here is Sequoia over top of Tahoe.
macOS always had rounded corners.
But with Tahoe, some windows are simply rounder. But some are way rounder.
That plus I hear that at least on "old" M1 systems, it's noticeably slower.
As I update a VM to the latest macOS Tahoe, I'm reminded of how damn UGLY it is.
Apple: Let's make the corner radius huge. But inconsistently.
With this level of YOLO, I have to assume that they must've hired some Linux UI devs.
