Daily Tech News 8 March 2022

Top Story

Oh great, another one. (Bleeping Computer)

Local privilege escalation bug on Linux, that is. Good argument for running unprivileged containers. Good argument for giving it all up and taking up potato farming. You know where you are with a potato.

More details on the Dirty Pipe vulnerability. (DirtyPipe)

Fixed in kernels 5.16.11, 5.15.25, and 5.10.102, so yay, everyone gets to reboot their servers.

Tech News

Russia has banned walkie-talkie app Zello. (ZDNet)

Because that is the most crucial thing to Russian opsec, which currently involves using unencrypted radio to transmit critical information because they blew up all the Ukrainian cell towers that their encrypted phones would rely on.
Google has released Android 12L, a variant designed for tablets.... On phones. (Liliputing)

It will actually show up on tablets later this year.
The Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED is, frankly, kind of meh. (AnandTech)

It has 100% of DCI-P3 colour, which is great, but only at 1920x1200. Apart from that it's last year's AMD 5600H or 5800H, 16GB of soldered RAM, and an RTX 3050.

It's not terrible, but even my 13" laptop has a 2560x1600 display, so it's not wonderful either.
Russia is shelling a damaged nuclear research facility, says Ukraine. (Motherboard)

Ukraine of course says this will doom us all, even though it's just a neutron source for research and too small to have any sort of meltdown.

The Russian spin on this is even wilder, claiming that the Azov Battalion fighting Russian-backed separatists has seized the reactor and is threatening to blow it up and cause an environmental disaster big enough to draw NATO into the war... Even though it's just a neutron source for research and too small to have any sort of meltdown.
Britain has started regulatory approval for the new Rolls-Royce small modular reactor. (Reuters)

These are not mini reactors, but ones made of compact modules, prefabricated and assembled on site, where they probably will not explode.

Party Like It's 1980-ish Video of the Day
