       The devs just found the JTAG (SWD) debugging pins on the Nintendo Alarmo: https://x.com/MarcelD505/status/1845211647675408496whelp. at this rate, this thing's gonna be running Doom by next week.(I guessed wrong: It's not a standard 20-pin JTAG as used on a regular ST-Link, because Nintendo.)

       The Switch 2 will likely be the most secure consumer device ever created.So, of course, it'll be hacked a week after release by someone posting Nintendo's private signing key to the War Thunder forums

       If implementing the visitor pattern with a depth-first search and pattern matching is so great, why isn’t there a pre-order switch 2

       I can't find any Snapdragon phone with the Android 2025-06-05 security update, so I can't check if CVE-2025-21479 / CVE-2025-21480 really are in the GPU microcode as Qualcomm's description claims...

       Mildly amused that I can get Android to do a userspace reboot by:overwriting init’s RebootSystem function with an execve() by writing to /proc/1/memdo a reboot, causing init to exec into my trampolinedmctl delete userdatarm -r /dev/__properties__exec runcon "u:r:kernel:s0" /system/bin/init selinux_setup(Yes, Android 11-14 had a built-in userspace reboot, but it doesn’t restart init and vold.And yes, modders have been userspace rebooting Android since 2011.)
