adding #jabra to my brand #shitlist. Bought a set of jabra elite earbuds only to find out they don't connect as standard bluetooth audio devices. They don't work on Linux or the Windows PC I tested them on.
Official support response is that they are only supported on Android or ios. How the fuck do you screw up implementing a standard like bluetooth audio?? I've had plantronics, sennheiser and aftershockz that litterally work on everything.
Roughly 2 weeks ago Google patched a critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-4863, that was being exploited in the wild. The broad impact of the root cause of the vuln and the fact that it will have a long tail of unpatched software has been poorly communicated. You can read more in @dangoodin 's excellent article on Ars Technica.
As pointed out in the article above, Electron is based on Chromium and is impacted. Electron is bundled in a ton of apps that people might overlook.
I threw together the following shell command to help macOS audit which versions of Electron apps are installed.
find /Applications -type f -name "*Electron Framework*" -exec <br></br> sh -c "echo "{}" && strings "{}" | grep '^Chrome/[0-9.]* Electron/[0-9]' | head -n1 && echo " ;<br></br>
When run, you should see something similar to the following:
/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Electron Framework<br></br>Chrome/114.0.5735.289 Electron/25.8.1<br></br><br></br>/Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Electron Framework<br></br>Chrome/116.0.5845.188 Electron/26.2.1<br></br>
