McDonald's uses an AI chatbot called "Olivia" for hiring. A pair of hackers found they could access every conversation job applicants had with it—including all the personal info they shared—by exploiting security vulnerabilities as basic as using the password "123456".

There’s a fascinating phone scam wave going on that I’ve seen it so far with Apple, Paramount+, and now PayPal.

You get an 100% legit looking mail even with valid BIMI headers and everything, telling you about some expensive thing or subscription with a number to call to dispute it.

The main giveaway is that the recipient is always an address in zantigoo.com and not you. 1/2

Edward Teller is mainly famous as the "father of the hydrogen bomb". But he wasn't dumb. He was invited to speak in 1959 at a big party in New York for the 100th birthday of the oil industry - a party put on by the American Petroleum Institute. Over 300 government officials, economists, historians, scientists, and industry executives were there.

And this is what he said:

‘”Whenever you burn conventional fuel, you create carbon dioxide.... The carbon dioxide is invisible, it is transparent, you can’t smell it, it is not dangerous to health, so why should one worry about it?"

“Carbon dioxide has a strange property. It transmits visible light but it absorbs the infrared radiation which is emitted from the earth. Its presence in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect …. a temperature rise …. sufficient to melt the icecaps and submerge New York. All the coastal cities would be covered, and since a considerable percentage of the human race lives in coastal regions, I think that this chemical contamination is more serious than most people tend to believe.”

Apropos nothing at all: Hey! I moved from San Francisco to Amsterdam two years ago, and I've never been happier. A friend wrote this guide for Americans:

@foone IIRC Sunplus had their own ISA

@yacc143 @Wrewdison @Daveosaurus @cypnk porting Linux to something by emulating some other ISA is liking swimming across the atlantic in a pool on a boat...

I've got a Pixel 9 XL Pro. I used the night camera mode to take a photo in a very dark room, and it appears to have permanently broken the rear camera module.

fare-free buses and massively expanding bus lanes are a core part of Mamdani's platform, and massively popular. compare this to what we have in sf - more transit austerity and waymos on market instead of buses. lefties should take notes

It took a long time and over 60 articles but, at @lwn, we have finally managed to complete our reporting from the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. If you want to know what is going on in those core parts of the kernel, this is the place to look.

We've put together an EPUB version of the whole set as well — good bedtime reading!

This is not isopropyl alcohol. It's also not 32oz.

I'm looking for a job!

To give a quick introduction: I'm Jamie, a designer and developer working in Open Source, primarily on the GNOME desktop for Linux. I'm an expert in GTK and Python, and have basic knowledge of standard web technologies (HTML/CSS) and static site generators. I also have some experience in technical writing and assisting others in creating apps.

If anyone is looking for someone in a related field, preferably remote (EU citizen), please reach out :)

@ftg @mxshift @dysfun not sure if it's exactly the same one, but their product page has some RF-looking magic: https://leica-geosystems.com/products/gnss-reference-networks/antennas/leica-ar25 .

I kind of just assume that everything is a scam, but this one is starting to seem kind of real...

Yet another creator I know has had to admit that they can't pay the bills.

The entirely-manufactured financial crisis has resulted in every business holding almost all spending: they're not hiring, and they're also not doing any advertising or sponsorships.

I'm able to weather it better than most, but even I've had two months of some ... "negative profit."
