A beer leak?

Japan's beer-making giant Asahi stops production after cyberattack  | TechCrunch A day after one of Japan's biggest brewers, Asahi Group, announced it suspended production due to a cyberattack, the company said it has no timeline for its recovery.

NEW: A cyberattack has forced Japan's beer maker Asahi to suspend operations at its plants in the country since Monday.

For now, the company said it's experiencing a "system failure" but did not confirm "leakage of personal information or customer data to external parties."

Today, my research group @ Georgia Tech released a paper on vulnerabilities in Tile --- the second largest device finding network after Apple's AirTags.

You can read about it in Wired, reporting by @kimzetter.bsky.social!

We still have strong guardrails for the model (i.e., the agent has to prove it found a valid bug, it's not allowed to change the harness (yet), ...) else we had to deal with false positives left and right.
However, it finds complex bugs that a fuzzer would never find, so I would say it's a net win..

USB: the most successful interface that also brings power We use it every day, but how does it really work? USB has been around for almost 30 years and it evolved into really universal interface ...

I use USB daily but I have no idea how it works 🤔

USB 2 vs USB 3, USB-A vs USB-C, the PD standard… this talk is full of interesting details 💎

And now I even understand why my USB-C power bank doesn’t work with *this* cable unless flipped 🙃

Started working on my Nintendo DS Lite video capture to HDMI project today after weeks of zero motivation. Huzzah!

Fun fact, the fastest signals here are about 10 times slower than on the N64 (~5.5 MHz vs ~50 IIRC), which reduces the risk for signal integrity problems.
