Under the terms set out in SpaceX's filing, Musk commands a supermajority of voting shares — more than 80% — and retains the right to sign off even on any board action that could result in his ouster.

Indeed, I can't believe we're still having the same conversation decades later.

And now with Google effectively dictating how you interact with the web, the industry has gotten worse, not better.

In summary he figured out how to reflash arbitrary firmware on a Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2X soundbar via Bluetooth, without requiring any effective authentication or user interaction.

The soundbar is plugged directly into its host computer via USB, so by adding a descriptor to its firmware he made it recognized as a keyboard. From there it was straightforward to have it send keystrokes to the PC. The soundbar is equipped with a mic, so an adversary could turn it into an eavesdropping device.

He reported it to Creative and SingCERT. Neither him or SingCERT got any meaningful response from the company until 2 months later, eventually saying "they do not consider this to be a vulnerability, as it does not present a cybersecurity risk".

He released a firmware patcher that disables the flawed transport protocol. It's a bit of a sledgehammer that likely also breaks functionality of the official Bluetooth app, but seems like the best he could do without cooperation from the manufacturer.

It's simple things like this which incumbent manufacturers need to avoid losing sight of.

Why?

Why?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why wouldn't an agent "keep the conversation going", like I do when interacting with an LLM through a web page? (I understand how it's impractical for long-running tasks where the agent has to wait days for the next input, but assume that's not the majority of use cases)

Take my money.

It's just a non-intrusive little menu that lives on your system tray. No ads, nags, bloat or unwanted new "features" shoved onto you. It resembles their original software much more than it does the latest slop they've been pushing.

The context menu shortcuts in File Explorer for Copy Link, Share, and View on Dropbox still work. Sync works. Most of the other cruft is gone. It's great. It was so refreshing when it got installed. I would have left Dropbox by now without it.

Yeah, that's called living! I definitely got myself into one or two dangerous situations growing up. I couldn't imagine a childhood where everything is safety railings and padded walls.
