Family weekends for Eric and Jon. A new side channel for pixel sniffing on Android, malware abusing github + steganography for configuration, and Apple doubles many of its security bounties. For fun, long live(d) the naked mole rat, and warp drives move from the irrational (negative energy ftw!) to the theoretically possible.

This was almost "The Quiet Episode" after some audio challenges, amazing what technology can hide... Eric gets back in town just in time to leave town. Jon goes to a bookstore. The UK is still trying to get Apple to create a backdoor. OpenAI talked about malicious use of AI. ShinyHunters are back. Pristine Stars are a thing and Powell's City of Books is cool.

This past weekend, Eric was forgetfully productive. Meanwhile, Jon moved a child into the dorms and battled some radiator problems. On other fronts, AI agents got duped, and self-replicating worms made their way through NPM. Good news: Entra ID tenants dodged a major security event. For a bit of nostalgia, Eric whipped up some lemon bars, and Jon chowed down on pizza.
