(...) we present the first security and privacy assessment of e-scooters internals. We cover Xiaomi M365 (2016) and ES3 (2023) e-scooters and their interactions with Mi Home (their companion app).

We extensively RE their internals and uncover four critical design vulnerabilities, including a remote code execution issue with their BMS. Based on our RE findings, we develop E-Trojans, four novel attacks targeting BES internals. The attacks can be conducted remotely or in wireless proximity. They have a widespread real-world impact as they violate the Xiaomi e-scooter ecosystem safety, security, availability, and privacy. For instance, one attack allows the extortion of money from a victim via a BMS undervoltage battery ransomware. A second one enables user tracking by fingerprinting the BES internals. With extra RE efforts, the attacks can be ported to other BES featuring similar vulnerabilities.

I took medication between '09 and '14. I got off of it because it was hella expensive. I adapted routines to keep me on track, and it worked for a long time.

But lately, I'm not doing well. And this community and a couple different YouTube channels helped me realize that I'm not doing well, and I need help. I'm forgetting things more than ever. I leave keys in cars. I leave doors unlocked. I forget meetings. I am several hundred emails behind at work. I am ignoring responsibilities because I'm feeling behind and overwhelmed. I go to the grocery store and come home with fifty bucks worth of junk food I never intended to buy, if I even go grocery shopping at all. Conversations feel like an out of body experience. I miss fully half of what is said to me.

It came to a head earlier this week. My wife was out of town and I took the dogs to the park myself. I left the front door open while I was gone for two hours. Fortunately, nobody came inside (checked the cameras) and the cats didn't find a way out. But it was terrifying.

I'd already had a psych eval in early September and got my report back about five weeks ago, but I procrastinated on calling my doctor to get a prescription. I did finally see him about a ten days ago, and he said he'd prescribe me some Adderall once the psychologist's office faxed him the report so I called them to have that done. By Tuesday this week, I hadn't heard back about scripts, and after that incident with the door, I needed to know something. I needed to be a squeaky wheel.

Fast forward to today, and I have my medicine in hand. I really hope to see results in the next few months once we get my dose figured out. I'm just so tired of living in a mental fog all the time.

Last time, I felt so broken because I needed a drug to function like a normal human. These days, I've shed myself of that line of thought. If I can't make my own neurotransmitters, store bought is fine.

he International Criminal Court's top prosecutor has formally requested an arrest warrant for Myanmar's military chief, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, over crimes against humanity targeting the Rohingya Muslim minority.

This marks a significant step in seeking accountability for atrocities committed during the military's 2017 campaign against the Rohingya. Allegations of Ethnic Cleansing

The charges against Hlaing stem from what has been described as an ethnic cleansing campaign that began in August 2017.

Nearly a million Rohingya were forced into Bangladesh following a brutal crackdown involving mass killings, rapes, and the destruction of entire villages. Hlaing, leader of the Myanmar Defense Services, is accused of orchestrating attacks by both military and police forces on Rohingya civilians.

Russia's acts of sabotage against Western targets may eventually prompt NATO to consider invoking the alliance's Article 5 mutual defence clause, the head of Germany's foreign intelligence service said on Wednesday. Bundesnachrichtendienst chief Bruno Kahl said he expected Moscow to further step up its hybrid warfare.

"The extensive use of hybrid measures by Russia increases the risk that NATO will eventually consider invoking its Article 5 mutual defence clause," he noted.

[...]

Under Article 5, if a NATO member comes under attack, the other members of the alliance are obliged to help it respond.

[...]

Kahl said Russia's military would likely be capable of attacking NATO by the end of the decade, adding that Moscow's war on Ukraine meant that it had battle-proven troops under its command which raised the threat emanating from its conventional forces, while it also mastered modern drone warfare.

[...]

"We don't have any indication yet that Russia intends to go to war, but if such sentiments gain the upper hand in the government in Moscow, then the risk for a military confrontation will grow over the coming years."

Should Russia attack one or several NATO allies, it would not do so to grab massive swathes of land, Kahl said, but rather to test red lines set by the West with the aim of defeating Western unity and NATO as a defensive alliance.

"In Russia's view, this goal would be reached if Article 5 were to remain without effect in case of a Russian attack," he said.

"To meet this target, you don't need to send tank armies westwards, it is enough to dispatch little green men to the Baltics to protect allegedly threatened Russian minorities or adjust borders on Svalbard".

Under the terms of the ceasefire, the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers were to become the only armed presence in south Lebanon, where Hezbollah has long held sway.

A Lebanese army source said its forces were "conducting patrols and setting up checkpoints" south of the Litani River without advancing into areas where Israeli forces were still present.

In the border village of Qlaaya, residents threw rice and flowers to celebrate the arrival of Lebanese soldiers. "We only want the Lebanese army," chanted the residents of the Christian-majority village, as they clapped and cheered for the troops and waved the Lebanese red, white and green flag. Since the ceasefire took effect on Wednesday, tens of thousands of Lebanese who fled their homes have headed back to their towns and villages, only to find scenes of devastation.

While there was joy around Lebanon that the war has ended, it will take the country a long time to recover. Even prior to the conflict, it had been wracked for years by political and economic crisis, with World Bank data from earlier this year indicating poverty had tripled in a decade.

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah told AFP his group was cooperating on the army's deployment in the south. There is "full cooperation" with the Lebanese state in strengthening the army's deployment, he said, adding the group had "no visible weapons or bases" but "nobody can make residents leave their villages".

In northern Israel, which has come under steady attack from Hezbollah for more than a year, there was hope tinged with scepticism over whether a truce can last.

Under the ceasefire deal, Israeli forces will hold their positions but "a 60-day period will commence in which the Lebanese military and security forces will begin their deployment towards the south", a US official told reporters on condition of anonymity. Then Israel will begin a phased withdrawal without a vacuum forming that Hezbollah or others could rush into, the official said. The Israeli and Lebanese militaries have both called on residents of frontline villages to avoid returning home immediately. "We control positions in the south of Lebanon, our planes continue to fly in Lebanese airspace," Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said.

Update 20241128

Lebanese official media said Israeli fire wounded two people in a border village on Thursday, a day after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect.

The humongous fungus grows throughout Malheur National Forest in Oregon's Blue Mountains. It spans over 2,385 acres — an area roughly the size of 1,665 football fields. Scientists estimate the organism to be around 8,000 years old.

Hi all, I'd like to hear some suggestions on self hosting LLMs on a remote server, and accessing said LLM via a client app or a convenient website. Either hear about your setups or products you got good impression on.

I've hosted Ollama before but I don't think it's intented for remote use. On the other hand I'm not really an expert and maybe there's other things to do like add-ons.

Thanks in advance!

Summary

Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) has filed a court motion claiming ownership of all X accounts, arguing they cannot be transferred, in an effort to block The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, Alex Jones’s conspiracy outlet.

The sale was part of a $1.4 billion judgment against Jones for defaming Sandy Hook families.

X’s filing asserts that users only hold a non-transferable license to their accounts, despite Musk’s prior actions threatening to reassign handles.

Critics view Musk’s move as aiding far-right figures like Jones and aligning with his MAGA agenda.

Musk says he's going to launch an "AI game studio" at his xAI startup.
