I'm surprised this isn't attracting more attention. This is an awful bug, and quite possibly a privilege escalation vulnerability, once someone figures out how to use it. The article calls it a "strong-format" specifier. It's really a "string format…

To all the cheapskates who want this for free: This is not like a word processor asking you to pay a subscription. A good password manager (like 1Password, which I use) is constantly changing their software to accommodate all sorts of crazy password…

Wow. Three+ pages of... nothing worth reading. Because none of you, it seems, bothered to read the article. Much more interested in flaming each other. I will admit that I had total disdain for the original Bloomberg story and at first wasn't even …

Hm, sorry, that last comment might not have been very clear. Local access is not physical access. It means having credentials as a user on the machine, and being able to use them. So for example, if you have a user account on a Mac in a different co…

This article, like the one on MacRumors, is way behind, and quite inaccurate. The problem is with Big Sur (and possibly earlier OSes), not the M1 macs. It can occur on Intel too. It's possible that it's more common on M1s because 3rd-party software …

Mike or Malcolm, could you please clarify this statement?In plugging a Pro Display XDR into a Blackmagic eGPU inserted into a Thunderbolt 3 port, it was found the eGPU enclosure was still detected and functions. The display communicates with the…
