‼️ UPDATE: LG Electronics says it will suspend smart TV apps that secretly turn hundreds of millions of TVs into residential proxy nodes, after researchers found the proxy SDKs in more than 42% of apps in LG's webOS store and over a quarter of Samsung's Tizen apps, routing unknown third parties' internet traffic through users' home connections. Residential proxy firms pay developers to bundle these SDKs, then rent the resulting home IP addresses to customers who often use them for large-scale scraping aka stealing your shit (also for AI training). Proxy nodes are being embedded at scale in hardware people don't treat as computers and can't easily inspect, and LG's cleanup does nothing for Samsung's Tizen store, where the same problem is present.

"There's a settlement named Memphis. It's on a crucial riverbank, filled with Egyptians, and has a pyramid." "Oh yes, Herodotus wrote about the area extensively." "I'm not talking about that Memphis."

The Supreme Court just agreed to hear the case of an 82-year-old Alaskan man whose $95,000 plane was seized by the state — over a single six-pack of beer. Kenneth Jouppi was running a one-man air taxi service out of Fairbanks in 2012 when state troopers found alcohol on his 1969 Cessna. He was preparing to fly a customer and her groceries to Beaver, a remote village that bans alcohol possession. The conviction: a misdemeanor for alcohol importation. The penalty: total forfeiture of his plane. Now the nation's highest court will decide whether that seizure violates the 8th Amendment's ban on excessive fines — a ruling that could reshape civil asset forfeiture law across the country.
