Upcoming coordinated security fix for all Matrix server implementations

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-18 09:49:58

Hi all, Over the last 6 months a major project has been underway by the Element server team and the Matrix.org Foundation security team to investigate “state resets”: scenarios where Matrix’s state resolution algorithm can give unexpected results. As part of this work we’ve identified two high severity protocol vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-49090; the other not yet allocated a CVE). Given the security implications of a federation protocol vulnerability, we’ve shared details under embargo over the

Gaslight-driven development Any person who has used a computer in the past ten years knows that doing meaningless tasks is just part of the experience. Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, dismiss notifications, solve captchas, reject cookies, and accept terms and conditions—not because they particularly want to or even need to.

I Finally Held a Foldable That Doesn't Feel Like Two Stacked Phones: The Galaxy Z Fold 7

Holding the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I have to remind myself this is not just any ordinary phone. The wildly thin design and wider cover screen makes this generation of Samsung's foldable feel incredibly normal, at least when it's closed. When it's unfolded, it's a whole different story.

After 6 months, I’m still not over Samsung’s lazy Galaxy S25 launch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-17 23:00:43

Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25
