At some point, only charging worked (and for one usb-c cable only on one side, which is weird given connecter is symmetrical), data and usb-audio stopped working. With my previous Samsung phone contact became very unreliable after 3 years. A new connector costs only a few euros, but I cannot do the soldering by myself and it cost me around 40€.

Yeah, Linksys made a killing from this and the WRT54GS 2.0 because of OpenWRT.

Reminds me of the time when Joseph Touch (I think his name was) proposed the NULL cipher in TLS. "It's just a proposal."

Any suggestions for online program / distance learning (I'm in Australia)? I want a proper challenge not a walk in the park.

Is this the tool that blasted away all the wiki pages for Azure in the repos?

Ah just realised no iOS release, that's a non-starter.

I've submitted it for review. Fingers crossed it doesn't take long

How does it handle browser autofill. What if you have to fill in a box that has a non-standard label? These are things I rely on with 1Password.

I don't know about Rivian, but I'm generally less distracted on the road with CarPlay due to Siri & Voice Control. I wish I could extend it to my native car controls such as climate control etc.

Yeah, I actually use a cell phone mount for navigation since my car doesn't have one. It's far from ideal, and I think more cars should have an easier and more secure way to attach/clamp a phone/tablet rather than require the driver to use their infotainment system, Although that can sometimes be fine. Having a flimsy car mount can be worse/more dangerous than a limited or poorly updated in-car navigation system. https://github.com/hatonthecat/Open-Source-Car/blob/main/ssr...

> I'm generally less distracted on the road

You should be not distracted at all.

Let me put it this way: using my car's console controls are more distracting than using CarPlay with siri/voice control. If I'm uncomfortable though I would be in a worse shape driving, hence there's a need to set climate.

I'm guessing none to be honest. It sounds plausible but in practice it's probably too difficult to do anything useful compared to other tried and true vectors.

Everyone goes to the extremes when it comes to these theories and throws out all aspects of pragmatism.

How many victims are known to be exploited by video codecs? Compare that with the wider landscape of how victims are being exploited.

Codec vulnerabilities in the browser have been a recurring source of exploits, as have similar vulnerabilities in phone messenger apps. The phone ones are particularly bad because phones typically preprocess received media files (for thumbnailing etc) so a vulnerability here can sometimes be chained into a remotely triggered near-instant compromise.

I don’t know if there is data on exploits due to downloaded media but it would be an easy way to exploit specific target populations (find a video of interest to them and “leak” it somewhere).

If said videos or media are doing that, there would be a corpus of samples by now. I'm very sceptical of this.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but I concede that attacks via locally downloaded video may not be a widespread problem at the moment. The problem is we just don’t know. I doubt these attacks would be effective against government or corporate targets (not sure who is torrenting on their work computer) and that’s where most post-exploit forensic data is gathered.
