Not only do I not mind you yoinking the text, I want to thank you for your contribution to the cause. If everyone who has signed could get one more person to sign, the initiative would succeed!

Ouch owie my bones

"Nicht jeder Computerbegeisterte kann sich selbst zum Sicherheitsforscher ernennen und damit einen Freibrief zum Hacking bekommen", so CDU-Politiker Günter Krings auf Anfrage der ARD-Rechtsredaktion.

Ich möchte kotzen. Herr Krings hat nichts verstanden. Es geht doch nicht darum, wer mit welcher Expertise Sicherheitslücken findet. Es geht darum, damit verantwortungsvoll umzugehen und Responsible Disclosure zu betreiben, damit die Lücke geschlossen werden kann und Schäden für eine Vielzahl von Menschen und ggf. das Unternehmen abgewendet werden können...

Seven countries need to reach the threshold and 1.000.000 signatures are required in total. The seven countries goal has already been reached, so right now only signatures are needed, regardless of the countries they are coming from.

I am a Patreon supporter of Jim Browning. Incidentally, I got this email today:

At last, I can reveal something I've been working on in conjunction with a major UK cellphone operator, O2. Meet dAIsy. Daisy is an AI bot who answers scam phone calls. Thanks to the mobile operator who can fingerprint scam phone calls via the calling pattern, source, sequence of calls and other markers, scam calls are being diverted to an AI bot who has been trained to keep the scammers on the phone as long as possible.

This is my recording of a Zoom interview I had today with Channel 5 news in the UK where you can see dAIsy in action.

I will continue to train dAIsy with real scam phone calls. When we perfect her, the aim is to work with other cell and landline operators to divert scam calls to thousands of instances of dAIsy. [...]

So you're not wrong about this being a project of some anti-scam YouTuber, you just guessed the wrong one. ^^

This link should be working.

Quoting from the OP tweet:

* Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
* Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
* Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
* Still no working fix.
* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.

I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

85°C is still fine. You wouldn't want your system running at those temps all the time but if those are only spikes during intensive tasks, you're good.

If you want your PC to run a bit cooler, check your airflow, set manual fan curves, or try out a mild undervolt.

Cannot complain.

Spotted the German.

The screenshot is getting crispy, time to get it out of the deep fryer
