Any consumer with rudimentary critical-thinking skills will occasionally encounter a breathtakingly cynical bit of promo propaganda, and wonder:, an undersung artifact of the bygone era when Comedy Central made its own live-action, scripted comedies (specifically, the late 2010s), was a veritable bestiary of such ghouls. Set within the offices of fictional megacorp Hampton DeVille (slogan: "We make everything"), the show filtered its satire through the Kafkaesque perspectives of two drones (Matt Ingebretson and Jake Weisman, who created with director Pat Bishop) doomed to be permanent "junior executives in training."

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Dell's new $699 XPS 13 looks and feels far more expensive than it is -- and comes surprisingly close to beating Apple's MacBook Neo. Dell's XPS 13 is a compelling budget laptop, even if it falls just slightly behind the MacBook Neo. When the MacBook Neo emerged from the waters like Excalibur, I was taken aback.

A Zoom Screen-Sharing Bug Let Anyone Take Over Other Devices on a Call

WIRED

Researchers say it took fewer than 20 prompts for a public AI tool to find a flaw (now fixed) allowing anyone on a Zoom call to hijack another participants' device. As AI models gain advanced capabilities to find vulnerabilities in software, develop ways to exploit them, and even carry out autonomous hacking sprees, researchers offered a sobering new example on Tuesday, disclosing vulnerabilities in the video conferencing platform Zoom that could have been exploited to take over targets' devices. Anyone on a call that involved screen sharing, whether participants or the host, would have been vulnerable to a silent attack that could be carried out with no indication and no interaction from the victim. Researchers from the digital defense firm A Security say the bug was discovered in early June using publicly available AI models, and that it took fewer than 20 prompts to uncover the vulnerabilities and create a working attack. Zoom issued a security advisory on Tuesday, including details about fixes the company has already begun rolling out to address the flaws, which affected devices running all operating systems that Zoom supports--Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
