Alerted by Eddy V's post[^], I checked my server. No exposure there. But within hours the Apache logs showed attempted exploits.
Zero day? More like -1 day!

Is Log4net also affected since it is a direct .NET port of Log4j?

Looking at the vulnerability notice[^], I'd assume not (as it seems to be specific to JNDI), but as I am not a lawyer, I'd watch this issue[^] to confirm.

A Google Play Games app will be available in 2022, built by Google to allow games from Google Play to run on Windows laptops, tablets, and PCs. So I can finally play Candy Crush (in the native resolution)?

Computer security experts around the world are racing to patch one of the worst software vulnerabilities discovered in years
(I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to post here, but it's 12 hours old and I didn't see it here. I hope I'm not stepping on your toes Kent)

A stealth way of slipping in some audio spying?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

stealth?
After Alexa, Siri and some others... that's not stealth or discret or... it is pretty obvious.

Really? A microphone is required? Like, duh.
Well, Scotty would be pleased - the mouse clearly wasn't the right input device for voice commands.
Hmm, Blue - Mouse[^] not what I was looking for...

Microsoft is moving ahead with its work to bring Azure cloud capabilities to companies that need satellite, geospatial and other space-related technologies In space, no one can see your cloud bill
"Microsoft officials said today that Azure Orbital is now in public preview. Azure Orbital allows customers to communicate with and control satellites from Microsoft's own and its partners ground stations." <- Nope, I can't see any problems that can come from that. Nope.

The next computer revolution might be a new kind of hardware, called processing-in-memory (PIM), an emerging computing paradigm that merges the memory and processing unit and does its computations using the physical properties of the machine—no 1s or 0s needed to do the processing digitally. Because it's not all about 1s and 0s
