The scary part to me (noted in the article as well) is less the technical hack but more so the amount of data they are collecting.

Subaru had/has an ongoing issue where the telematics drains the battery while the car is parked, especially if it’s parked out of reach of cell towers. With the amount of data they are sending, it’s not surprising.

There is no need for the car to report its position whatsoever unless I request assistance.

Should be a nice salary boost for developers in a year or two when all these companies desperately need to rehire to fix whatever AI slop mess they have created.

My point was not that X would be able to do something about this, but that it is not a source of breaking news, and fundamentally not a replacement for journalism…and should not be used as such.

Hi Cookie! That’s a handsome loaf you have there.

There are public utilities in the US. And yes, they offer better service and lower costs than the competing private utilities.

I didn’t know about the benefits until I moved somewhere served by them. I think we would have more of them if people could see the benefits, but unfortunately the utilities you have access to are limited by where you live.

SO is rapidly fading into irrelevance, but we’re all still writing code anyways. Seems like the problem will solve itself.

What’s worse, the parking or the broad generalizations in the comments here?

A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.
