Honestly, I'll take that any day of the week. It's far better than someone like Newsom who is actively courting right wing figureheads so he can agree with them about how bad progressives are.

The party would be so much better if we could get rid of the members that hate progressives.

Correct. I've been rocking their open source driver on Wayland for about a year now, pretty smooth experience.

Though sleep is still a neverending struggle.

ADL? Hello? You going to talk about this? No?

Oh you've seen nothing yet. They are also going to ANGRILY FURROW THEIR BROWS. Really I don't know how the republicans can withstand such stiff opposition.

Does money want this?

Like really truly, I'm seeing fucking bloomberg and forbes come out against trump.

I heard they have black paddles and everything.

And frankly, the US isn't the only trade partner in the world.

It's a large economy but not the only economy. These tariffs from the US are dumb because the end result is that the US will be excluded from world trade just like Iran or North Korea is.

Cool. As an opposition party you make them do that.

You don't fucking work with the Nazi party, who is currently actively dismantling the government, because you are afraid your defense contractor constituents won't be happy.

The democrats got literally nothing from the republicans. That's absolutely not compromise, it's just being an ashamed republican.

You kidding? This is probably the best use of cops. Instead of harassing minorities they've created a human shield that will scare off people from purchasing Nazi mobiles.

If tax money is going to cops, they might as well be doing the job of a protest but more effectively.

Just reread it and no, it's not a BT vulnerability. The "erase flash" command is something that has to be done by software running outside the BT stack. You can even see that inside the slides. The UsbBluetooth software is connected to the device with the flawed bluetooth chipset.

The vulnerability is that if you have this chipset and compromised software, someone can flash the chipset with compromised flash. They even say that it's not an easy attack to pull off in the article.

In general, though, physical access to the device's USB or UART interface would be far riskier and a more realistic attack scenario.

In otherwords, the attack is something that can only be pulled off if there's also a security vulnerability within other parts of the hardware stack.

I just re-read the article and yes, you still need physical access.

The exploit is one that bypasses OS protections to writing to the firmware. In otherwords, you need to get the device to run a malicious piece of code or exploit a vulnerability in already running code that also interacts with the bluetooth stack.

The exploit, explicitly, is not one that can be carried out with a drive-by Bluetooth connection. You also need faulty software running on the device.

I think we are basically already there with ESPs :D.
