Another vulnerability hits the news. Whilst similar to heartbleed in leaking memory contents, it does not seem to be too risky if you’re running it as a single user, and the memory leak isn’t huge quantities.
Saying that, this vulnerability also may also affect cloud systems. For example, on AWS, (which has httpd), doing a version check:
$ httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.27 (Amazon)
Server built: Aug 2 2017 18:02:45
However, without knowing how Amazon have setup Apache behind the scenes, are we able to say definitely that we are/aren’t affected?
Looking forward to when LineageOS can upgrade to Oreo. There’s a lot of new features that may make life a lot easier generally. Take a look in the article for details
We take a 20,000 word deep-dive on Android's "foundational" upgrades.
This is an old advert by Google Chrome featuring Hatsune Miku, the Vocaloid virtual singer, following in the same line as Honda's series of adverts featuring her too. Selling the idea that Miku is a virtual singer, but you can be anything else -- Musician, Producer, Composer, etc.
Doing a run through the local area while playing Ingress, and found someone by the name of “Andy” had done a lap of Hadley Wood and back down into the village in the time it took me to clean up the village. Perhaps I need to get my distance back pretty sharpish.
Although personally I would have thought with all the events you have done for Ingress (anomalies, etc.) you would have figured out the best way to handle this.
Although, saying that, there are FAR more PGO fans than there are Ingress fans….
What could go wrong other than spotty Internet, huge lines, and a server meltdown?
The game itself was a nice start. Getting people out and about. When the update went out that locked out jailbroken/rooted devices, it meant I could no longer play (still can’t, although I can get the app to load and login, but never get a GPS signal, even though I’m happily able to play other AR games like Ingress. And I’m only L22 if I remember, so way behind most active players now)
Microsoft patching systems as far back as XP? WannaCry is BIG, and the problem is…. there’s going to be systems out there still not patched due to laziness or no internet connection and are vulnerable.
Seen a couple of XP boxes around – some self-service tills, ATMs, and payphones all use XP…
Decommissioned for years, Windows XP, 8, and Server 2003 get emergency update.
The Sims - as in the PROPER Sims being made for Android/iOS? Definitely going to look at this, but I bet it’s going to be online only which is pointless when your main commute is Underground.
