https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-g.....CVE-2024-30078

TLDR: If you're using Wifi and have windows, physically nearby attackers could run code on your computer.

If you're using Discords mobile app, their latest update now also automatically opts you into contact finding. If you and someone else on your phones contact list has it enabled, it will automatically connect you two. This could potentially be a major privacy or safety issue.

To fix this:
1. Open the mobile app
2. Click on "Messages" on the bottom
3. Click on "Add Friends" at the top right
4. Uncheck "Allow contacts to add me"

At the time of posting, doing that will actually re-check it once you leave the screen. A potential workaround to stop this:
Go to Settings -> Privacy & Safety -> Scroll down and there is a "Sync Contacts". Turn that off.

Also for safety, in the settings area previously mentioned there is also a "Discovery Permissions" for "Phone" and "Email" which allows discovery via that. You may wish to have those disabled too.

There is a 0-day exploit that targets a library with how images are displayed. The exploit allows attackers to execute code on your computer and/or steal information from it simply by viewing an image in any affected program.

Affected programs include but not limited to:
Chrome
Firefox
Edge
Opera
Brave
Discord
Slack
Skype
Twitch

And much more. You should all update all programs immediately and on all devices (desktop, phone, tablet, TV etc). This is a very easy to exploit bug, requiring only an image to be loaded. This could be from an embed on a website, or shown in a chat program. Downloaded images are also vectors. If there is *any* way that an image can be viewed in the program, it is likely needing to be patched.

Patches have been released for the following programs and you should be on the versions listed at a minimum (if shown):
Google Chrome – Mac and Linux 116.0.5845.187 and Windows 116.0.5845.187/.188.
Mozilla – Firefox 117.0.1, Firefox ESR 115.2.1, Firefox ESR 102.15.1, Thunderbird 102.15.1, and Thunderbird 115.2.2
Brave Browser – version 1.57.64 (Chromium: 116.0.5845.188) [Android, iOS, Linux & Mac].
Microsoft Edge – versions 109.0.1518.140, 116.0.1938.81, and 117.0.2045.31.
Tor Browser – version 12.5.4.
Opera – version 102.0.4880.46.
Vivaldi – version 6.2.3105.47.
Bitwarden
LibreOffice
Suse
Ubuntu
LosslessCut
NixOS - Nix package manager

It's absolutely stacked.

I'm lazy and instead of making a comment for all of you, I'm just doing this. I've noted the winner already, so if you got one from me obviously you're it. It was a really hard choice, you all have lovely dergs, birbs, scalies, things! I do get a lot of commissions so if you still want a chance I'll be using all the entries as possibilities for future art! Keep the comments and as I get more stuff I'll (probably) do a random generator in the future for other art pieces.

Again, I really do appreciate all of you entering! So many bangable dergs and others. Loved all of them <3

You'll be the green dude: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25882810/

Rules / How to fuck Erise:
1) Dragons, scalies, wyverns, (if it has wings and looks dragony), lizards, gryphons, avians preferred. Others accepted. No marsupials, bats, rainbow characters, "universe" or "starry" characters, MLP, cattle.
2) Post your ref(s) or best image that can be used as a ref. No text. Enter as many of your characters as you want
3) Post your favorite food so I know you took the 30 seconds to read. Seriously, this isn't long.

Will be picked in a biased manner, it's not random. Fail to follow the requirements, I won't bother correcting you.

Now get in line to get dat fine ass.

---

Closing edit: The derg has been chosen, but please keep your comment if you still want a shot. I'll be using all entries here as potentials for upcoming pieces. All of you are 110% bangable so I'll work through the entries eventually lol
