SIM Card Flaw Poses Spying Threat, But US Users Appear to Be Safe
A security firm has disclosed a disturbing vulnerability in SIM cards that can be exploited to track a phone's location. But an industry trade group says most carriers no longer use the affected technology.
A security firm has disclosed a disturbing vulnerability in SIM cards that can be exploited to track a phone's location, and potentially take over the device. But the hacking danger may be overblown, at least in the US; an industry trade group says most customers are not affected.The reported vulnerability, dubbed "SimJacker," deals with old software tech in SIM cards called the S@T Browser, which was last updated in 2009. On Thursday, security firm AdaptiveMobile published a report, which said you can send a specially crafted SMS message to hijack the S@T Browser on a victim's phone to execute computer code. -

Debian 10: Playing catch-up with the rest of the Linux world (that’s a good thing)
If you skipped the last release, Debian 10 (Buster) should encourage an update into 2019.
The Debian project, the upstream mother of countless Linux distributions, has released Debian 10, also known as "Buster." And yes, that's a reference to the character from Toy Story. All Debian releases are named after Toy Story characters. Bla bla bla...WTF is news about that? Debian 10 been out since July.
Next release will be always be in about two years or so. It's released when it's ready and that's how it has been for almost twenty years now.
If you want to post real news then it's that Debian 10.1 was released a couple of days ago.
https://www.debian.org/News/2019/20190907
You can still use old 10.0 iso install media and when you update packages you will get the same as 10.1.This is the latest netinstall image Debian 10.1 for amd64:

Preventing GPS spoofing is hard—but you can at least detect it
This GPS spoofing defense software looks promising, but it's short on detail.
Today at the IAA (International Motor Show) in Frankfurt, Regulus Cyber announced a new software-only GPS spoof detection product. This product, Pyramid GNSS, is what the company was hyping when it executed a Pied Piper attack on a Tesla Model S this June. Regulus Cyber demonstrated the new product, Pyramid GNSS, to us yesterday via Web conference from the IAA. Pyramid GNSS was running on a Linux-powered laptop with GPS receiver and successfully intercepted spoofed GNSS signals coming from another laptop with a software-defined radio a few feet away. An iPhone in the same room picked up the spoofed GPS signals and erroneously showed itself driving down a nearby highway. But the laptop running Pyramid—which had a copy of what appeared to be Google Maps running—remained stationary. -

How Much Would You Spend on Streaming Services Per Month?
A PCMag survey of 1,001 US streaming subscribers found that customers would pay an average of $33 per month for all their streaming services combined. From Apple TV+ and Disney+ to HBO Max, there will soon be more apps competing for that budget than ever
The next wave of video streaming services will crest in November with the launches of Disney+ and Apple TV+, and consumers will the faced with the first of many decisions over which apps are worth devoting another another couple bucks each month to streaming content. PCMag recently surveyed 1,001 US consumers who currently use streaming services, the majority of whom said they don't plan on subscribing to any new services, whether Disney and Apple's offerings, HBO Max, or NBCUniversal's forthcoming app. We also polled respondents on how much they'd be willing to pay for streaming content per month, both for an individual service and as a monthly total. -

Netflix - $15
Hulu - $13
Disney+ - $4.25
Total = $32.25...Now that game of thrones is over, I'm not sure I'll ever bother with HBO again, though I could possibly see dumping Netflix for a month, picking up HBO, bing the new show, then reversing it.
Not willing to pay for CBS online - screw that noise! -

Not willing to pay for CBS online - screw that noise!Just $28 for me, no Disney+. And we use the cheap Hulu option. So I think more like $23.

I really want to avoid adds, so I pay for the expensive Hulu... And Disney+ had a sale for 33% off if you paid in full for 2 or 3 years... so I did... They have a ton of new Star Wars stuff coming... so it was kinda worth it for that.

I constantly forget about prime, but I have prime for shipping, not because of the shows - I so RARELY watch anything on Amazon.

Prime has good content. I like a lot of their originals. The only thing I don't like is that they lump the shit you have to pay for (rent/buy) in with the included with prime.

Yeah must cut their costs down people not actually watching the content.

Amazon had some kind of issue where their system forgets what videos they actually have - and instead of just playing said video, it offers you to buy it. They did fix after a day or so.

The Boys was fantastic. And besides some good originals, they have lots of random stand up comedy specials, as well as all the cheesy B-movies you could ever want (I love those).

VRV - $9.99 / month
Netflix - $12.99 / monthTotal = $22.98 / month
I may switch from Netflix if the stuff I want to watch really ends up on something else. But so far, nothing is enough to make me switch.
