Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability

ASD's social media team launch an attempt to get another category added to the #hacklore "this is not a realistic threat, please stop worrying about this" list 😔

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

Hot take about the updated OWASP Top10 - it's a great resource, but I have some concerns about the trend in categorisation. If the goal was "create categories that cover the top critical security risks to web applications", the new Top 10 would nail it. But the stated goal is slightly different...

It seems the "X, but with computers" model needs to be tested with everything, including white-collar crime. As much as some people would like to believe otherwise, algorithms (inc AI), are not an accountability sink. Collusion is still collusion. Crime is still crime
BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents.
RealPage claims that its software, which landlords have used to collude on rents, is protected by the First Amendment.

Before a certain year, Subarus have a 3-way light switch in the roof of the cargo space. It runs in line with the body of the car, so if you're say... unloading cargo (crazy), it's possible to accidentally flick the switch to light-always-on. If you don't notice the light, you flatten your battery.
