PoC author @retr0id published his writeup about how the bug was found, I strongly encourage you to give it a read and a follow: https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/exploiting-acropalypse.html
CVE-2023-21036 / acropalypse is absolutely bonkers.
Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating.
All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at https://acropalypse.app/
Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

re: Board games
There would be no point to scoring for points (lol) but I think you could totally play this game singleplayer
It's just fitting puzzle pieces together after all
re: Board games
Played Railroad Ink tonight! I think it's a delight. You get four configurations of tiles over seven turns and you need to slot them together in a way that, uh, typecheck, maximizing your sum over a few metrics. It's also lovely designing a little town and I added trees for commuters to look at while on the road or the train
It's also very funny that when you get computer scientists playing this you suddenly start talking about connected components and mappings from exits to points lol
true adulthood is (but not limited to) having a bath towel and also a backup bath towel for precarious situations
I am in the precarious situation where I really need to do laundry but I also haven't taken a shower and it's 11 pm and I have a full day of activities tomorrow lol
after like the three other papers I need to read for various courses and research reasons this weekend lol
Oregon should just swallow Washington State whole, there's no need for a Washington State
You could probably combine all the new england states into Massachusetts and no one would notice. You could also give Maine to New Brunswick and no one would notice either
No one's going to care if you convince Pennsylvania and New Jersey. DC is basically just Maryland extended. I often forget about Delaware so we could probably delete it
alcohol
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, DC, and Virginia are all in the same geographical classification because I could plausibly get to them by train and back
