  • The bad news is that Android is still likely affected. Similar to Apple’s ImageIO, Android has a facility called the BitmapFactory that handles image decoding, and of course libwebp is supported. As of today, Android hasn’t released a security bulletin that includes a fix for CVE-2023-4863 – although the fix has been merged into AOSP. To put this in context: if this bug does affect Android, then it could potentially be turned into a remote exploit for apps like Signal and WhatsApp. I’d expect it to be fixed in the October bulletin.

    So a no-click device hack?



  • I am sory for not living in a giant home without any 2.4ghz neighbors around me.

    Also I myself use 2.4ghz for low bandwidth devices, and other connected devices which don’t have 5ghz. And there are also the neighbors who cast their 2.4ghz network they may use how they will around me.

    But I didn’t have many issues on most of the headsets I tried. At least higher end.

    There were still some outliers and with bad unreliable connections, even on high latency (jbl tour one m2 for example).

    Others like corsair headsets had issues at “high” range (like 10-15m through walls), but no issues at close range, but that is expected from their specs.





  • Not really like that.

    Right now it’s not possible to connect a headset/headphone via wifi to a device other than some proprietary things.

    So a general competitor usable on all devices allowing more data transfer for more audio with less compression. I think it could be interesting.

    Not just because it would maybe be better. But because competition on a market is a good thing for the consumer. And push bluetooth maybe further than what it is.

    Tho if by some misunderstanding, the chip used isn’t compatible with bluetooth I’m not very sure… As brands would need to include 2 chips, which increases the cost.






  • System76 is a bit strange. Their laptops are more expensive than other windows brands, while offering Linux. I’m not sure if it’s really worth going with them, as a lot of other laptops ca work with Linux. Tho maybe I missed something about their laptops.

    Framework I think I saw some Poole saying it has some issues running Linux with some component incompatibilities. Tho you may want to do more research, maybe even opening some reddit threads and dodging useless comments.
