UEFI Secure Boot Vulnerability can bypass Secure Boot

CVE-2024-7344 resides in a UEFI application signed by Microsoft's "Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011" third-party UEFI certificate.

Successful exploitation of the flaw can lead to the execution of untrusted code during system boot, thereby enabling attackers to deploy malicious UEFI bootkits on machines that have Secure Boot on, irrespective of the operating system installed.

Secure Boot is a firmware security standard that prevents malware from loading when a computer starts up by ensuring that the device boots using only software that is trusted by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The feature leverages digital signatures to validate the authenticity, source, and integrity of the code that is loaded.

An Inquiry into the "Evil" USB Ethernet Adapters

With the recent (or maybe the ever continuous) plague of "fake" USB Ethernet Adapters seeming containing malware ridden drivers, lcamtuf gets to investigating one, including how they are made. It's an interesting read nonetheless.

Sony patents technology to use AI to predict your next move, to improve input lag

This is kinda the same as DLSS but, if poorly implemented, its going to be horrible. I think there will be a specific user onboarding because everyone plays differently. Not a wise move, but we'll see how it goes.

Not so Elite now, eh?

Qualcomm starts shipping X Elite chips with slower variant with missing performance cores.

A less powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite version has begun shipping to OEMs. While Qualcomm insists that the SM8750-3-AB benefits from the same performance improvements as the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite, it has fewer Performance CPU cores than the original model.

I am stupid: I meant Qualcomm starts shipping 💥🙂🔫

The TikTok shutdown in the US starts now, here's why...

👨‍💻 @agamtechtricks

this generation is doomed

when the same thing happened in india, we shifted to random stuff like sharechat, likee, etc. now mostly being on IG Reels

i dont understand what TikTok has to provide specifically for people to fucking PAY for this shit

if you ARE going to pay, just go watch a movie or buy Netflix with that money, or buy a damn book like a normal human being

being an almost 16yo Gen Z, it hurts to see the world moving towards this direction of destruction

but, again, this is America so... oh well.

well well well

Also, TikTok is now back for many US Citizens due to Trump giving clearance.

Sorry for the brevity, I am in bed trying to sleep as we speak.

RIP to the people selling screen recordings I guess

So, TikTok is back. What about CapCut and other ByteDance owned apps?

TikTok is back in the United States. That's good, right? Right?

Well, as it turns out, CapCut (and apps such as TikTok Studio, Marvel Snap and Lemon8) still do not work in the United States. They are unavailable in the App Store and the Google Play Store and even if you manage to get access within the app, you won't get far without getting hit by the "Sorry, CapCut isn't available right now" screen. With CapCut also being the most used video editor for mobile, this is a pretty big concern.
