Everyone urgently needs to update: Google has fixed a vulnerability in Chrome that has been actively exploited
Google has released a small but important update for its branded browser. The stable version of Chrome 88.0.4324.150 is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
It fixes the high-severity vulnerability CVE-2021-21148 discovered by cyber security specialist Mattias Buelens and reported on January 24. A “hole” in Chrome WebAssembly and the V8 JavaScript engine allows attackers to run executable code on the victim’s computer.
Google does not disclose specific details as the vulnerability is present in third-party libraries that third-party projects depend on. However, it is reported that the vulnerability is actively exploited in real life.
Resource ZDNet managed to link the vulnerability to the campaign carried out by North Korean hackers against the cybersecurity community. Users are advised to update their browser as soon as possible.
As noted by the developers, Google update 88.0.4324.150 will be distributed to all users in the coming days or weeks.

The brainchild of BYD and Mercedes-Benz: presented crossover Denza N8

BYD introduced the new Denza N8 crossover, which is an upgraded version of the BYD Tang model.
The announcement turned out to be formal: the manufacturer published the first images, but did not disclose details about the technical component of Denza N8.
According to Chinese Automobiles, Denza N8 will be available with hybrid and pure electric powertrains. In addition, it is known that buyers will be able to choose between the number of seats in the cabin (5, 6 or 7).
The original BYD Tang was released in 2015, a second generation followed in 2018 and is still in production today. In 2019, Denza X was released based on this model, which was created in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. Denza N8 replaces Denza X.

Tesla GigaBier introduced. It’s already available for purchase.

Tesla has released a limited edition Cybertruck-themed GigaBier beer. Beer is offered for $30.
It is worth recognizing that this is not the first original idea from Elon Musk’s companies. Previously, The Boring Company offered flamethrowers and Burnt Hair cologne with the smell of burnt hair, and Tesla released a Cyberwhistle in the spirit of Cybertruck. Of course, there was Tesla branded tequila. By the way, at the time of its announcement, they also thought that this was an April Fool’s joke.
The Tesla GigaBier bottle is designed to mimic the shape of the Cybertruck, paying homage to the 500-year-old Reinheitsgebot tradition of German brewing. Enjoy this beer brewed in Berlin with our exclusive Cyberhops and notes of citrus, bergamot and sweet fruit. Each bottle has a glow-in-the-dark Giga logo.

The second life of push-button phones: in the US, their sales are growing amid the desire of users to spend less time on smartphones

Feature phones have long gone out of fashion in the global market, but in the US the situation is changing. Some Americans are switching to such devices to limit their time spent on smartphone screens.
“It’s happening to some Gen Zers — they’re tired of screens,” said José Briones, moderator of the r/dumbphones subreddit. “They don’t know what’s going on with mental health and they’re trying to cut down on their smartphone use.”
In 2022, sales of HMD Global flip phones in the US have grown. Tens of thousands of such phones are sold monthly. At the same time, global sales of HMD feature phones have declined, according to the company.
Nearly 80% of feature phone sales in 2022 were in the Middle East, Africa and India, according to Counterpoint Research. The North American feature phone market is forecast to grow by 5% over the next five years, and possibly even more.
Various companies are following this trend by selling devices aimed at those who want to spend less time with their phones and social networks.
