I for one appreciate someone in her position eschewing bluetooth headphones, and in fact, I'd wager the Secret Service does as well.

The chorus is: "I"m open to a woman as president/VP, but not THAT woman..."

The problem is, all women become "that woman" pretty quickly.

She shopped in a yarn store during the campaign, you know. Everybody knows yarn crafting is dangerous because the tools have pointy ends with which you can stick your enemy. #AryaStark

This could be the tan suit they have been looking for.

Bluetooth Bugs Open Billions of Devices to DoS, Code Execution

The BrakTooth set of security vulnerabilities impacts at least 11 vendors’ chipsets.

Researchers have disclosed a group of 16 different vulnerabilities collectively dubbed BrakTooth, which impact billions of devices that rely on Bluetooth Classic (BT) for communication.

According to an academic paper from the University of Singapore, the bugs are found in the closed commercial BT stack used by at least 1,400 embedded chip components, that can lead to a host of attack types – mainly denial of service (DoS) via firmware crashes (the term “brak” is actually Norwegian for “crash”). One of the bugs can also lead to arbitrary code execution (ACE).

The team analyzed 13 pieces of BT hardware from 11 vendors; so far, there have been 20 CVEs assigned across them; with four vulnerabilities pending CVE assignments from Intel and Qualcomm.
Some of the bugs are patched, others are in the process of being patched; but, researchers said in the paper, “it is highly probable that many other products (beyond the ≈1400 entries observed in Bluetooth listing) are affected by BrakTooth,” including BT system-on-chips (SoCs), BT modules or additional BT end products.

Potentially, billions of devices could be affected worldwide, researchers said.

Here’s a table of the 16 bugs:

Kamala Harris has been a major player in politics for a long time. As the AG for one of the biggest states in the Union, as a Senator, and now as VP, and all of a sudden we are hearing this bullshit? Like when staff said that Amy Klobuchar was "mean" all of a sudden when she was running for President.

You can criticize Harris for substantive reasons. She has taken very clear stances on issues, but this stuff is just stupid, meant to be more like gossip, like the whisper campaign that Karl Rove started about Ann Richards being a lesbian when she was running for governor against Bush Jr.

the infighting is intended to insure she doesn't succeed Joe if he decides not to run in '24, or if he does and is successful, she doesn't follow him in '28.

There are rumors of a rivalry with the Transportation Sec.
