The image depicts a scene from an animated series featuring a group of characters standing in front of a group of large, menacing dragons. The dragons are diverse in color and design, with a blue dragon on the left, a red dragon in the center, a black dragon with a long neck, a yellow dragon, and a green dragon on the right. The characters are dressed in various outfits, including armor and robes, and appear to be in a battle-ready stance. The background is dark, emphasizing the figures in the foreground. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads, "Lemme tell you kids what it was like to fight Tiamat back in my day." The overall composition suggests a dramatic confrontation between the characters and the dragons.

The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't
This post refutes the claim that researchers found a "backdoor" in ESP32 Bluetooth chips. What the researchers highlight (vendor-specific HCI commands to read & write controller memory) is a common design pattern found in other Bluetooth chips from o…Xeno Kovah (Dark Mentor LLC)
I don't think your hypothetical "compromised userspace" scenario applies to the ESP32 in any practical usage. These are integrated chips (think "Bluetooth+WiFi+Arduino-on-a-chip") where the the user host code runs on the same chip, I think even in the same address space. So if that is compromised, the Bluetooth side is compromised regardless of the existence of the vendor commands.
In principle you could use an ESP32 as an external Bluetooth controller exposing HCI of course, and then the concern would apply, but I don't know why anyone would do that when dedicated Bluetooth chips designed to be used as HCI dongles exist. And then most of those have the same issues anyway...
> And then most of those have the same issues anyway...
The Bluetooth ecosystem is an unmitigated disaster.

Mmm, it finally looks like an electric van with the potential of a camper! Not much practical information here, but another article promises 400 km range, which is something. I doubt it's getting AWD though, and the price is still unknown.

I'm so happy to see this, I absolutely loved my Pebble Time Steel
... But I've also moved on. My Garmin watch is so much more capable and the only thing Pebble offers that I'd miss out on is the interface, which I much prefer over Garmin. Sadly I think I'll pass.
Habe deren Vorgänger beide auf #Kickstarter finanziert gehabt, das waren aber noch Zeiten, zu denen es die #AppleWatch noch nicht gab… In der Zwischenzeit habe ich mich zu stark an die Apple Healt, ApplePay etc. Integration gewöhnt, so das ein Umstieg vermutlich nicht in Frage kommt… Aber so eine Open-Source Smartwatch zum basteln wäre schon auch cool 😀

Just a snapshot of what's going with ICE in Chicago. Beyond the headline, one man, a U.S. citizen, was picked up a couple miles from my house, handcuffed, and held for over 10 hours before being released with no way home. No record of his arrest exists. How many stories like these are there nationwide?

Holy smokes...
Here in #londonontario (#yxu) a girl in a ski-mask set a #Tesla on fire Monday night. Myself, I don't condone these acts of violence on people's personal property - guess she didn't know about the new Tesla building under construction in the city, now that... that could go...
[EDIT]: This is not a re-used photo from elsewhere - it is real - here is a local news article:

[EDIT2]: From the article, it appears this was a test-drive unit for the showroom in the mall, so not personal property... carry on then..

This is not mutually exclusive with Feldman’s theory. Nor is it mutually exclusive with the fascists’ strategy working.
None of these problems are going to fix themselves.
