An article says: Don’t Use Safari until further notice

While I’m not techbnically logged in to any sites using safari like Google and Twitter, I hardly do a whole lot of browsing with my phone anyhow. The article was sent to us by Armando Vias to the Security Box on the 21st of this month, and it was definitely a very interesting read.

The problem I have is that Apple had several months to work on this, but only acknowledged the bug within the past week or two.

I know, I know, apple is pretty secretive on bugs, but this article titled Stop Using Safari Immediately (at Least for Now) coming from lifehacker is something we should be aware of.

I don’t think i have any sites logged in at the moment, and i think that should be the case until I know what is up. One site which I order food with, while somewhat accessible, isn’t that accessible but I get it to work. To pay, you have to log in, so it isn’t a persistant log in.

Have you seen anything like this? What did you think when you heard this article or read it? Sound off in the comments.

Android should be ashamed of itself, fixes bug that disallowed 9-1-1 calls

I saw this article late the other day, and finally got around to reading it. It is unfortunately sad that Android had this bug where Microsoft Teams of all apps was part of the culprit of disallowing someone from calling 9-1-1.

The article talks about someone in December who needed 911 because of a situation going on at their home. Luckily, a landline was available and they were able to get the help they needed.

While I tried the emergency calling button a couple of times, I didn’t really need it. Because I had no speech or no idea what it was doing, they called me back. I just said I was doing something with the phone, but everything was fine.

In this Android’s case, there was no call made at all. It could’ve been tragic, and Google decided to wait an entire month to fix it, although the 6 is getting delayed due to other technical problems.

For the full article, Read the ars technica article titled: Google fixes nightmare Android bug that stopped user from calling 911. This can’t be good.
