Google says this offline tracking is made possible by “specialized Pixel hardware” in its latest two phones. More specifically, Google spokesperson Natalie Johnson told me that “there’s reserve power on the device for several hours that is channeled to the Bluetooth chip.” This help center page confirms that devices can be located “for several hours” after being turned off or if they shut off from a low battery.

We're so back 🙏

But in all seriousness, this is cooked. Also, driver is signed. Throw in the pile of crappy poo poo pee pee drivers

Shoutout to the homies at "IObit Malware Fighter".

Their IMFForceDelete driver is so wildly vulnerable, and poorly written, you can have their driver arbitrarily delete any file on the machine with 0 privileges and literally 1 line of code

There aren't many changes compared to v6.1, except for the January security patch, but we still hope this version improves everyone's experience.

Thanks for checking us out!

Haven't seen it posted here yet. I wonder what your thoughts are of this? Google's Willow... https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantum-chip/

"The first is that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits. This cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years.

Second, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 10 to the 25th) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe."

With that kind of power, a complete lack of morality, and more money than the fed can print, is AI the going concern? Seems no security could be strong enough. What of blockchain tech? True?BS?
