Friday Finale

I'm sad to say this is my last post.
For the week.


There is a patch for Outlook for Android for a recent vulnerability which could result in take over for a system.

Now I want you to be honest with me.... do you or anybody you know run Outlook on your android? It's almost as silly as Outlook for linux. It makes my head hurt. I know an iDevice user who runs it, but we agreed not to talk about it.



Also a BIND advisory, affecting multiple versions. It could be caused to cause a DDOS condition.



T-Mobile was hacked. The hackers got access to the data of prepaid customers.
Hackers insisted it be spelled TMobile.



AMD just released a $49 mainstream processor. Yes, for the normals out there, $49 will get you a nice processor. It's unlocked, so you can jack up the clock speed, which normals don't do anyway.



Perennial favorite Google wants to move android back to the mainline linux kernel.  No word yet on how they plan to get linux to phone home.



Pissed because people keep blocking ads, the ad industry came up with an 'unblockable' web tracker. It violates the GDPR out of the box. At this time, only Firefox with the uBlock Origin addon can stop it.  There are some fascinating bits in this article on ad tech and how majors are reacting.



Don't use Startpage for searches anymore. It was sold to a behavioral ad company.



No, IT blogs aren't that difficult.
Yes, using a spell-checker on IT topics is.
