Chrome, Firefox and other browsers affected by critical WebP vulnerability
  • Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.

    That includes many apps that most people don't think of as "browsers".

    Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

    Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

  • Turquoise, by Electric Six

    Any other E6 fans on here??

    I think my fave track so far is Staten Island Ass Squad but there's a lot of gems on this one.

    Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen?
  • Pretty sure the internet would collapse in a matter of hours.

    (Cloud Infrastructure and Security Engineer)

  • Television
  • I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a "Smart" TV to the internet. Leave it as a "dumb" TV.

    Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its "smart" features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.

    To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.

  • What was the best "worst. movie. ever"?
  • Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?

  • Ha! Came here to say this. Ya beat me to it.

  • Windows and Linux users what are your must have apps/programs when you set up MacOS for the first time?
  • BetterTouchTool (which isn't free but is worth every penny) lets you do everything rectangle does. Also lets you configure your mouse buttons to do whatever you want. Also infinite custom hot keys and shortcuts.

    Also Raycast as a replacement for Spotlight.

  • What are some of your favorite lyrics?
  • Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.


    Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

    -- Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy


    Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright

    -- Electric Six, Jimmy Carter


    Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

    -- Clutch, X-Ray Visions

  • What brand and type of milk alternatives will froth in an automatic milk frother?
  • But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?

    I'm curious, what brand/model is the frother?

  • Google "Nest Detect" sensors
  • ah, damn. thanks for the info!

  • Google "Nest Detect" sensors

    I have a bunch of Nest Detect (A0028) sensors from the now defunct Google Nest home security system.

    Anybody know what radio protocol these things use? Zigbee? Z-Wave? some other thing?

    I have a Z-Wave USB dongle, or I could get a Zigbee one, but I'm not sure if either of them actually communicates with these devices.

    I hate to throw them away, as they're well designed.

    What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • And because I drink coffee and I'm a total klutz...

    • Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
    • a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.
  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans... never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • Things I have done with my Pi(s) --

    1. AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
    2. OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
    3. Kodi media player
    4. HomeAssistant hub
    5. PiHole network-wide adblocker
    6. I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents' network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
    7. RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.
  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • Hell yes. My Brother printer is just a solid workhorse.

  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • TSA Pre-check.

    Yes, it's fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the "security theater" of it all, but man... being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.

  • Basic Guide (and infographic) on how Lemmy works
  • Might I suggest a "single column" version as well, for the folks on mobile devices? 😁

  • For those who were skeptics about the fediverse: what made you change your mind?
  • To be honest I'm still skeptical of the Fediverse as a long term endeavor, but I'm going to give it a fair shake in the meantime.

    That said, I was never much of a heavy user of twitter or reddit anyway, so watching the Fediverse explode while various corporate entities implode is just popcorn entertainment.

  • iCloud unlocking goes mainstream, Apple turns a blind eye
  • The video takes a long time to say this:

    There's a new (and concerning) service known as "Plist FMI off" which appears to be able to unlock an iPhone that would otherwise be locked and useless to thieves.

    Disabling iCloud lock / Find My iPhone lock should be something only possible by someone working from inside Apple -- thus implying that there's likely an insider involved in this. Or at the very least, a security flaw in Apple's network that's allowing this to happen.

    The Youtuber seems to think that Apple should be forthcoming about declaring this vulnerability exists. IMHO, he is wrong to think that. Declaring the flaw before it's been patched would only create a rash of iPhone thefts.

    Ideally, Apple is now aware of this situation, and is doing internal investigations to correct it.

  • What App are you using?
  • I found the web UI on mobile a bit clumsy for my big thumbs.

    There's a couple early beta apps for iOS:

    Mlem - https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

    Memmy - https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

  • Duolingo Yiddish - Lemmy.world
    lemmy.world Duolingo Yiddish - Lemmy.world

    For learners of Yiddish on Duolingo פאַר די וואָס לערנען ייִדיש אויף דואָלינגאָ

    Duolingo Yiddish - Lemmy.world

    I'm sure this is a total longshot, given how few folks are likely learning Yiddish on Duolingo, but figured I'd create a community for it anyway.

    They say if you don't practice the language every day, it'll never stick.
