Quarkslab researchers discovered four vulnerabilities in the boot chain of Samsung Galaxy A devices, enabling them to execute code in the bootloader, gain root access with persistence, and leak data from the Secure World, including Android Keystore keys. These vulnerabilities affect two crucial components: Little Kernel, the third bootloader, and Secure Monitor, the highest privileged software. The researchers presented their findings at BlackHat USA 2024 and released proof-of-concepts for the vulnerabilities on GitHub.
When this developer discovered an MMO game hack, he decided to learn how to hack the game himself and make it more difficult for the hack's author to keep up. Through clever code modifications and observation, he was able to identify the hack's author and even the users who were exploiting it. This led the hacking company to eventually abandon its project.
Hono is a fast, lightweight framework that runs on various JavaScript environments, like Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and Node.js. Providing a "write once, run anywhere" experience, the framework has various features like middleware, helpers, RPC, and server-side JSX. It was initially built because the framework's creator felt that creating applications for Cloudflare Workers was too verbose without a framework.

$37 trillion in payments could transition to real-time by 2028. If you're moving, tracking, or reconciling payments, you need to start thinking about what this means for your infrastructure.
An intern at ByteDance maliciously interfered with the company's model training tasks, sabotaging its AI models. They were fired for committing serious disciplinary violations. None of the intern's sabotage impacted ByteDance's commercial projects or online business and none of the company's large models were affected. Rumors suggest the intern's actions cost the company tens of millions of dollars in losses, but ByteDance says those claims are exaggerated.
Ray-Ban Meta glasses are the top-selling product in 60% of Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company's sales figures suggest that consumers are willing to pay more for smart glasses if they're stylish and widely available to try on. Meta and EssilorLuxottica have extended their partnership into the 2030s. The companies plan to continue developing multi-generational smart eyewear products.
The idea of harvesting solar power continuously from space, where there are no nights, clouds, or atmosphere to interfere with the collection of photons, and beaming it back down to Earth via microwaves sounds simple, but implementing the technology is difficult. Aetherflux, a small company with only about 10 employees, plans to launch a satellite to test the idea and determine both the safety and efficiency of collecting solar energy in space. If the demo mission works, Aetherflux plans to develop a constellation of satellites to deliver power to remote locations.
Srinivasa Ramanujan, who died at the age of 32 in 1920, had a mathematical gift that others did not. He came up with thousands of elegant and surprising results, often without proof, saying that his equations had been bestowed on him by gods. Mathematicians are still trying to catch up to his work more than 100 years later. This article takes a look at Ramanujan's life and work and how his insights continue to appear again and again in the world of mathematics.

The xAI API is now available. It currently only has a single model, grok-beta, which is priced at $5 per million input tokens or $15 per million output tokens. The API supports function calling and its documentation suggests that it will eventually include vision models capable of analyzing both text and images.
rip is a safe and ergonomic alternative to rm with a simple interface and a focus on safety, ergonomics, and performance. It sends deleted files to the graveyard, giving developers a chance to recover them. rip doesn't overwrite any data - files that share the same path will be renamed as numbered backups.
Apple's AirPods Pro 2 is getting new features next week with the release of iOS 18.1 that will transform the earbuds into an over-the-counter hearing aid. In addition to helping people hear more clearly, there is a hearing protection feature that protects the ears at all times across noise cancellation, transparency, and adaptive audio modes. This article looks at the new features of the AirPods and describes the experience of setting them up and using them.
TurboTax's CEO Sasan Saeedi recently got into a somewhat confrontational exchange during an interview where he was pressed about parent company Intuit's efforts to prevent a simplification of tax filing in the US. Intuit's Head of Communications requested the segment be cut from the interview or otherwise heavily edited to make it seem less confrontational. The company has been strongly opposed to the IRS making its own software for free tax filing. It offers free tax filing to some US citizens as a cover to continue a regime of charging others for tax preparation.
