The Tech talk to have with family over the holidays. We dive into why tracking passwords and setting up two-step authentication safely is a must—especially for seniors and elderly users. Plus we have hunting news of a rare pheasant. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Rare White Pheasant Harvested in North Dakota According to KFYR TV, a Minot, North Dakota hunter harvested a rare white Pheasant south of the city on December 7, 2025. 37-year-old Eric Henke of Minot first saw the bird a few years ago on his family farm. A couple weeks ago, he and six others, plus four dogs, went out for a pheasant hunt. The group flushed the bird, and it flew into some brush. It was flushed again about 10 yards from Henke. With a pull of the trigger from his Benelli Super Black Eagle II 12 gauge, the bird dropped and ran, thankful to have one of the dogs retrieve it for him. Henke is now having the bird mounted by Dakota Taxidermy in Bismarck, North Dakota. In addition to being a rare white pheasant, it also had magnificent tail feathers that measured to about 22.5 inches long. Congrats Eric Henke! The Importance of Tracking Passwords and Two-Step Authentication for Seniors and Families Why Password Management Is More Important Than Ever In today's digital world, almost every essential service requires a password—banking, medical portals, email, social security accounts, utilities, and even prescription refills. For elderly and older adults, managing multiple passwords can quickly become overwhelming. Forgotten passwords, locked accounts, and inaccessible phones can lead to stress, financial risk, and complete loss of access to critical services. Common Problems Seniors Face: Forgotten passwords or PINs Locked accounts due to failed login attempts Smartphones breaking, updating, or resetting Two-step authentication codes sent to unavailable devices Difficulty remembering complex security rules Without a proper system in place, a simple phone update can become a major crisis. What Is Two-Step Authentication (2FA) — and Why It Can Be Risky Without Backup Two-step authentication (also called 2FA or multi-factor authentication) adds an extra layer of security by requiring: Something you know (password) Something you have (phone, text message, authentication app) While 2FA improves security, it can lock users out permanently if: The phone is lost or broken The phone number changes The device updates or resets The authentication app is deleted This is especially dangerous for seniors who rely on one single smartphone. How to Set Up Two-Step Authentication the Right Way (Senior-Friendly) To avoid lockouts, seniors and families should always set up backup access options. Best Practices: Save backup recovery codes on paper and digitally Add a trusted family member's email or phone number Use authentication apps that allow device recovery Avoid using only SMS codes when possible Tip: Print recovery codes and store them in a safe, labeled folder at home. Final Checklist for Seniors and Caregivers Track all passwords in one secure place Set up 2FA with backup recovery options Share access with trusted family members Store printed recovery information safely Review passwords yearly or after major updates Final Thought - A broken phone or forgotten password should never mean losing access to your life.

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Dog Marketing, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Recorded live at AAPEX 2025, this episode brings together leaders from Australia's Jax Tyres and Auto to show just how closely the Australian automotive aftermarket mirrors the U.S. market. Featuring CEO Steve Grossreider, franchise owner Dan Spiteri, future franchisee Will Attard, and Autoflow's Chris Cloutier and Craig O'Neill, the conversation underscores shared global challenges—most notably the technician shortage—and the reassurance that the industry is moving along a parallel path worldwide. Rather than chasing quick fixes, the discussion centers on culture-driven solutions: expanding diversity, building clear career paths and succession plans, and advocating for the industry at the grassroots level. Jax's customer-first mindset is a recurring theme, with every team member accountable for the client experience and a strong emphasis on clear communication to help customers understand emerging technologies like ADAS. With just under 100 stores, Jax's avoids multi-franchise ownership, instead holding each franchisee accountable for the customer experience in their territory. The key takeaway is clear: in both Australia and the U.S., long-term aftermarket success depends on investing in people, strengthening culture, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to the customer. https://www.jaxtyres.com.au/ Thanks to our Partner, Shop Dog Marketing Shop Dog Marketing at Shop Dog Marketing.com.

Lured Up Podcast 376: A Ticket For Every Event Live Streamed on - 12/16/25 Publish Date - 12/19/25 The game is overrun with costume Pokémon which has to mean that the Holiday Season is upon us! Are you Team Sudowoodo or Team Charjabug? One thing is for sure, we know Adam will be out catching every Delibird he can find! With two weeks of Holiday events ahead of us, we start things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay including Well Armed, GMAX Snorlax, and Citi Safari events. With the Well Armed's Global Challenges powering extra Candy XL for GMAX Snorlax, Trainers had good reason to get out there and grind over the last week. The Holiday events kicked off this week and brought a GO Pass along with it, but the rewards may not be the strongest this time around. Will a Snom Beanie be enough to sell the GO Pass? We don't think so but Trainers may be in it more for the process at this point. Part 2 of the Holiday Event picks up on Christmas Eve and brings back some past costume Pokémon as well as the debut of the Rolycoly line. The Winter Weekend mini-event opens the GO Pass progression up and adds a Timed Research as well. While Niantic hasn't shared the January Content Update yet, they are giving us plenty of event blogs to get us excited. Of course we will have a New Year's event which will bring back some popular costume Pokémon and some fancy avatar boots to boot. Grookey has been announced as the first Community Day Pokémon of the new year, while Piplup will show up during Community Day Classic. If that wasn't enough of a January preview for you, Kyurem Fusion Raid Day is also on the docket, which will will surely be a strong IRL and remote event. We wrap things up with a discussion about the state of the game, and how even with some performance issues like crashes and dropped frames, the game overall is in a really good state. Trainers have tons of options of how to spend their game time, with multiple mechanics taking Trainers down different types of experiences. One thing we have noticed, is that with increased item and Pokémon storage available, inventory maintenance has become a long and monotonous task that takes up a lot of our valuable screen time.

Poslanci prelomili prezidentovo veto a schválili zmenu úradu na ochranu oznamovateľov. Diskusia odhalila nedostatok podloženej argumentácie a šíriace sa dezinformácie.Poslanci Národnej rady SR prelomili veto prezidenta Petra Pellegriniho a opätovne schválili zákon týkajúci sa transformácie Úradu na ochranu oznamovateľov na nový úrad. Aké boli ich argumenty? Čo táto zmena znamená v praxi a aké dezinformácie sa v tejto súvislosti šírili?Aj týmto témam sa venoval nový podcast Nezablúďme v bludoch. Veronika Jursová Prachárová v ňom diskutovala so šéfkou Demagóg.sk Veronikou Frankovskou a následne s predsedníčkou Úradu na ochranu oznamovateľov Zuzanou Dlugošovou.V úvode Veronika Frankovská upozornila na viacero dezinformácií, ktoré sa v poslednom období objavili v informačnom priestore. Spomenula napríklad špekulácie, podľa ktorých mali byť zrážky či takmer zrážky vlakov údajne zosnované s cieľom vyvolať protesty proti vláde.„Po proteste proti progresivizmu v Košiciach sa navyše šírila fotografia, ktorú v skutočnosti vytvorila umelá inteligencia. Na snímke pritom neboli Košice ani len rozpoznateľné,“ upozornila Frankovská.V súvislosti s Úradom na ochranu oznamovateľov sa podľa nej medzi politikmi šírilo najmä nepravdivé tvrdenie, že ochranu okolo vyšetrovateľa Jána Čurillu udelil práve tento úrad. „To nesedí. Ochranu v takýchto prípadoch udeľuje prokurátor, konkrétne špeciálna prokuratúra,“ vysvetlila Frankovská.V druhej časti diskusie predsedníčka Úradu na ochranu oznamovateľov Zuzana Dlugošová uviedla, že o plánovanom zrušení úradu sa dozvedela zo SMS správ od novinárov. Na argument niektorých poslancov, že agenda sa má presunúť na nový úrad, reagovala otázkou: „Prečo je potrebné rušiť pôvodný úrad? Ak zužujete alebo rozširujete právomoci, prípadne meníte procesné pravidlá konaní, nepotrebujete na to novú inštitúciu. Tá existujúca je už etablovaná.“Dlugošová zároveň zdôraznila, že nevidí žiaden legitímny dôvod na zrušenie úradu. „Ja tu nevidím žiaden dôvod a podľa mňa ho nevideli ani odborníci,“ dodala.Predsedníčka úradu zároveň pripomenula, že Slovenská republika má medzinárodné záväzky v oblasti fungovania nezávislých inštitúcií a zabezpečenia autonómneho kanála na prijímanie oznámení. Tieto záväzky vyplývajú aj z Plánu obnovy, kde je Úrad na ochranu oznamovateľov uvedený ako súčasť míľnika v oblasti boja proti korupcii.„Niekoľko stoviek tisíc eur z Plánu obnovy bolo investovaných do propagácie úradu, aby sa dostal do povedomia verejnosti a aby bolo jasné, akú má úlohu a kompetencie,“ uzavrela Dlugošová.

David Royce went from a broke college kid in a door-to-door pest control job to building and selling four service businesses for nine-figure exits by applying Silicon Valley systems to an unsexy blue-collar industry. In this interview, he breaks down exactly how he scaled Aptive Environmental to over $500M in revenue, created a training engine that produced top-1% sales performers, and built a culture that became a recruiting magnet in a commodity market. For founders interested in recurring revenue, service businesses, systems, or operational excellence, this episode is a blueprint for building a scalable, sellable company from scratch. What you'll learn in this interview: • How David turned a “crappy summer job” into four nine-figure exits • The sales framework that took him from total failure to top 1% in one week • Why following your passion is overrated and unsexy industries create the biggest opportunities • The systemised sales engine and training playbook that scaled nationwide • How he built a white-collar culture inside a blue-collar business • Why paranoia is a competitive advantage and how to avoid the “screw-up phase” • How to structure a company for maximum exit value • The strategy behind selling three companies to the same buyer • How software, gamification, and AI supercharged efficiency and sales • What founders must understand about recurring revenue and private-equity rollups By the end of this episode, you'll understand the exact principles David used to build scalable operations, dominate an overlooked market, and turn recurring revenue into generational wealth — giving you the roadmap to build a company buyers compete for.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1222: Today we break down Cox Automotive's 2026 forecast and why fragmentation is becoming the industry's defining theme. We also cover California regulators taking aim at Tesla's Autopilot language.Show Notes with links:Cox Automotive says the auto industry beat expectations in 2025, but 2026 will be shaped by fragmentation everywhere—from consumers and labor to policy, EVs, and AI. The result is softer volumes, tighter margins, and a market that rewards precision over optimism.The 5 big forces at play: A bifurcated consumer trading down, a stagnant job market, inflation easing but Fed uncertainty lingering, shifting policy and an EV incentive cliff, and AI hitting an operational inflection point—all pulling the market in different directions.New-vehicle volumes reset lower: Cox forecasts 15.8 million SAAR in 2026, down 2.4% YoY, signaling the high-15 million range as the new normal rather than a temporary dip.Retail, fleet, and leasing cool: New retail sales fall about 1.5%, fleet declines more sharply, and lease penetration drops toward 21%, the lowest level in three years as EV tax credits and leasing loopholes disappear.Used remains the pressure valve: Total used sales dip roughly 1%, but tight retail inventory and affordability concerns keep demand steady, pushing more shoppers toward lower-priced vehicles.Wholesale values normalize: Cox expects the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index to rise 2% by the end of 2026, pointing to normal depreciation—with growing EV volume adding pricing complexity.California regulators ruled Tesla misled consumers with its “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” marketing, giving the automaker 90 days to fix its language. The case briefly threatened Tesla's ability to sell cars in the state, but stops short of halting production.The DMV ordered a 30-day suspension of Tesla's dealer license, which would prevent Tesla from selling vehicles directly to consumers in California if it goes into effect.That dealer suspension is stayed for 90 days, meaning Tesla can keep selling cars as long as it updates its advertising and disclosures within that window.A separate manufacturing license suspension—which could have affected Tesla's ability to build vehicles in California—was permanently stayed and will not take effect.Regulators say Tesla's use of “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving Capability” implied autonomy that doesn't exist, creating unsafe assumptions for drivers.Tesla pushed back strongly, saying no consumer complained and stating, “Tesla has never misled consumers.”Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Bank of Ireland is urging customers to stay alert to 'Smishing' scams over the festive season, as fraudsters try to exploit consumer behaviour by sending them fraudulent text messages during the busy shopping period. With online shopping and parcel deliveries at peak levels, scammers are sending texts that look like they've been sent by trusted delivery companies, motorway toll services, utility providers, Government agencies or even from the banks themselves. These fraudulent messages often include links to fake websites designed to steal card or online banking details or trying to pressure consumers into paying a delivery or customs charge or update bank account details. Other "smishing" texts will contain a fake phone number that, when called, connects you to a fraudster posing as a representative of the company or from your own bank. Bank of Ireland is also reminding customers that its dedicated fraud support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout Christmas and into the New Year. Last year Bank of Ireland's fraud prevention team received over 10,000 calls from customers during the peak holiday period (23 December to 29 December), with 550 calls received on Christmas day alone. As part of Bank of Ireland's four-point plan to prevent fraud, it has called for the introduction of legislation to allow an SMS scam filter to be deployed in Ireland. This filter would help stop SMS fraud attempts before they happen. Ireland is currently out of step with other English-speaking countries in not having an SMS scam filter in place. This filter would operate like the spam filters that are applied to email inboxes by detecting and blocking harmful links or content. Key advice for consumers: Do not click on links or reply to text messages looking for payment. Remember toll operators, banks, delivery companies, utility providers and Government agencies will never send a text linking to a website that asks for your online banking details or full card details.Check the identity of the sender. Call the company in question using their legitimate phone number. Nicola Sadlier, Head of Fraud, Bank of Ireland said: "Unfortunately fraudsters see the Christmas holidays as an opportunity to exploit the consumer rush to get all the festive shopping done, and at this time of the year Bank of Ireland's fraud team always sees a wide range of "smishing" scams impersonating well-known companies. "Our advice to consumers remains the same, keep your guard up and treat every unsolicited call, text, or email as a potential fraud attempt. Our dedicated fraud team is working around the clock, even over Christmas and into the New Year, to protect and support our customers. If something feels suspicious, trust your instincts and contact us straight away. "Ireland is out of step with other English-speaking countries in not having an SMS scam filter, leaving Irish consumers more exposed to fraud attempts. We would strongly support the introduction of an SMS scam filter in Ireland, which requires legislation, as it would help block many of these fake text messages." Bank of Ireland customers can call the Fraud Team 24/7 on the Freephone line 1800 946 764. See more stories here.

In this episode of Between Product and Partnerships, Cristina Flaschen speaks with Mike Gelber, Chief Product Officer at Impiricus, about his career path and the experiences that shaped his approach to product leadership in healthcare. Mike's background spans finance, ad tech, and healthcare, and his move into product reflects a steady pull toward roles that combine technical depth with proximity to real users. Throughout the conversation, he shares how those experiences influenced the way he approaches product decisions, partnerships, and growth in a regulated environment.From Finance to Product ThinkingMike began his career at JP Morgan, where he quickly gravitated toward building tools that made work more efficient. Teaching himself to automate tasks introduced him to software development and revealed the leverage technology could provide. That curiosity led him into ad tech, where working closely with customers helped him connect system design with real usage. Over time, product became the natural intersection between building technology and understanding how people actually work.Why Founding a Company Accelerated His GrowthStarting a company brought Mike closer to customers and everyday decision-making. Choices carried immediate consequences, which sharpened his sense of focus and sequencing. The experience also exposed him to areas of the business that are often distant from product roles, shaping a broader understanding of how products are built, sold, and sustained over time.Lessons from Building and Exiting LassoMike reflects on building Lasso and guiding it through growth before its acquisition by IQVIA. A defining lesson from that journey was the importance of validating demand early. Proving value through direct execution helped guide product direction and informed how he now thinks about product-market fit. That experience reinforced the importance of grounding decisions in real usage rather than assumptions.Joining ImpiricusAfter the acquisition, Mike joined Impiricus as Chief Product Officer. He initially questioned whether SMS could be an effective channel in healthcare. Spending time with the product in real-world settings changed that perspective, particularly as he observed how clinicians interacted with it during day-to-day work. Those experiences helped clarify the product's role in supporting healthcare providers.Defining Success in Healthcare ProductMike describes success at Impiricus through outcomes and experience. Pharmaceutical partners measure impact through prescribing behavior, while healthcare providers encounter fewer barriers when supporting patients. The most meaningful signals come from moments where the product quietly fits into existing workflows and reduces friction without drawing attention to itself.Timing, Integration, and RelevanceThe conversation returns often to timing. Mike explains how Impiricus uses data and integrations to engage healthcare providers when support is most relevant. This approach allows the product to fit naturally into clinical workflows, which is critical in environments where attention is limited.Looking AheadMike shares what's next for Impiricus, including the launch of a new product called Ascend and continued momentum following recognition on Deloitte's Fast 500 list. As the company grows, the focus remains on staying close to healthcare providers and maintaining the product principles that shaped its early success. Cristina closes the episode by reflecting on how Mike's journey illustrates how product leadership evolves inside regulated industries.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1221: Today we break down GM's post-Cruise autonomy reboot, why used EVs are quietly outperforming new ones as buyers regain confidence, and how a soaring SpaceX valuation has pushed Elon Musk's wealth past $650 billion.A year after pulling the plug on Cruise robotaxis, GM is rebooting autonomy with a very different endgame. Instead of ride-hailing, the focus is now on hands-free, eyes-off driver assistance designed to scale across consumer vehicles.GM has deployed 138 test vehicles — Cadillac Escalade IQs and GMC Yukons — equipped with lidar, radar, cameras, and advanced computing to collect real-world driving data across the U.S.Cruise's technology and talent have been merged with GM's Super Cruise team, signaling a full pivot away from robotaxis toward scalable driver-assistance for retail customers.The goal is a Level 3 “eyes-off” highway system debuting on the Escalade IQ around 2028, with plans to expand across brands and vehicle sizes.Jason Ekelmann of GM's advanced vehicle integration team: “It's that we're coming together to do something unique and awesome and really, really hard.”November revealed a split EV market. New EV buyers slowed down and waited for clarity, while used EV shoppers kept moving. The contrast highlights where confidence is building — and where the industry is still adjusting to life after heavy incentives.New EV sales cooled to about 70,000 units as shoppers paused amid tax credit changes, pushing new inventory to 149 days' supply and forcing incentives back into play.Used EVs told a different story, with sales up 14% year over year to more than 28,000 units in November.Used EV pricing averaged around $36,000, with many mainstream models now below $30,000, while supply stayed tight at 46 days, supporting healthier resale confidence.Cox Automotive's Stephanie Valdez Streaty framed it simply, saying the industry is “adjusting to a post-incentive environment.”Elon Musk just crossed a line no one else ever has. A new SpaceX valuation pushed his net worth past $650 billion, moving him closer to becoming the world's first trillionaireSpaceX launched a tender offer valuing the company at $800 billion, doubling its valuation since August and setting the stage for a potential 2026 IPO that could value it near $1.5 trillion.Musk owns roughly 42% of SpaceX, making that stake worth about $336 billion and now the largest single contributor to his net worth.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

If you're dragging yourself toward the end of the year feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained, you're not alone. This is one of the toughest stretches for founders — you're still running the business while everyone else is winding down, and the pressure can quietly compound into burnout. In this episode, I share the exact reset strategies I use whenever I feel my energy dipping or my mindset slipping. These are the practical things that help me slow down, recalibrate, and get back to operating from clarity instead of exhaustion — especially during the chaotic final months of the year. Here's what you'll take away: • How to recognise the early signs of founder burnout before they hit hard • The practical reset routine I use: float tanks, steps, saunas, journaling, grounding, and more • Why taking weekends off, booking holidays, and creating downtime actually improves your performance • How to say no more often without guilt (and why doing less is often the answer) • Why founders can't build great things when they're running on fumes — and how to avoid it If you're tired, discouraged, or feeling the weight of the year, this episode will help you reset your mind, rebuild your energy, and enter the new year from a grounded, healthy place — not burnout. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Eric Svedberg breaks down a smarter, more profitable way to price diagnostic work—what he calls the Level Testing Sales Amplifier. At its core, the system tackles a problem most repair shops quietly accept: testing is often a loss leader. When technicians are tied up diagnosing complex issues, shops miss out on parts sales. A-level technicians can earn less than their B-level counterparts doing routine work, and the rising cost of software and tools goes unpaid. Svedberg reframes the conversation by using the word “testing” instead of “diagnostics,” a term he believes is clearer and more intuitive for customers. Testing implies a process, not a guarantee—setting expectations from the start. The Level Testing system uses a tiered structure tied to the shop's base labor rate: Level One – Basic Testing:Single, constant, duplicable issues (like a check engine light that's always on).Level Two – Intermediate Testing:Multiple concerns or intermittent problems.Level Three – Pandora's Box:Highly complex vehicles, often previously misdiagnosed or unsuccessfully repaired elsewhere.Level Four – “Grandmother Rate”:Disaster cars involving severe electrical damage, corrosion, or major disassembly. While the levels are designed as an internal framework, Svedberg finds transparency with customers increases trust and buy-in. Service advisors are coached to remove Level Three from most conversations upfront, steer customers toward Level Two testing as the norm, and clearly explain that testing fees are for time spent—not credited toward repairs. For true Level Three cases, advisors frame the value honestly: if it were simple, another shop would have already fixed it. Svedberg emphasizes that the system is easy to train and implement—often within a week—by focusing on quick wins with top advisors. Its simplicity improves communication, closes the tech efficiency gap, and can be applied beyond diagnostics to services like module programming and ADAS calibration. Every decision, he says, must pass the test: Is it good for the car? Good for the customer? Good for the shop?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1220: Ford slams the brakes on big EV bets and kills the Lightning, pivoting to hybrids and EREVs. HGreg proves luxury buyers don't need a separate dealership—just a smarter one. GM learns loyalty points are real money after a rewards loophole wipes out a loan.Show Notes with links:Ford just hit the brakes on its EV ambitions, announcing nearly $19.5 billion in charges as it pivots away from loss-heavy electric trucks.Ford will discontinue the all-electric F-150 Lightning, replacing it with an extended-range electric version that includes a gas engine.Its Kentucky EV battery plant will be repurposed to produce stationary battery storage for utilities, data centers, and renewable energy projects.The company has already lost $13 billion on EVs since 2023, and intends to shift to more hybrid and EREV models, including a mid-size pickup expected to launch in 2027.CEO Jim Farley: “Instead of plowing billions into the future knowing these large EVs will never make money, we are pivoting. “We now know enough about the U.S. market where we have a lot more certainty in this second inning” Canada-based dealer group HGreg has opened a Lux boutique inside its flagship Orlando used-car store, betting that high-line buyers want a premium experience without leaving the pre-owned ecosystem.The new HGreg Lux Orlando is a dealership-within-a-dealership, marking the group's fifth Lux location across Florida and California.HGreg is leaning into convenience and flexibility with same-day delivery, contactless buying, and even cryptocurrency payments.CEO John Hairabedian framed the move as emotional as much as strategic, saying, “For many of us, driving a luxury car is one of life's most memorable moments.”GM's loyalty program briefly turned into free money. A loophole in GM Rewards let users generate millions of points without spending a dime—most notably a Cadillac Escalade-V owner who used nearly $60,000 worth of points to pay down a GM Financial loan before GM shut it down.Users could earn up to 16,000 free points per account by completing surveys and watching GM videos, then repeat the process by creating new accounts.Points were instantly transferable, allowing millions to be stacked in minutes and funneled into a single account.The biggest problem for GM: points could be redeemed on service, accessories, and even vehicle loans—not just swag.GM fixed the exploit but honored the points, taking a page from the airlines: protect the program, not just the balance sheet.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

He shares how value-based follow-up, storytelling, and multichannel communication (email, SMS, and direct mail) dramatically increase seller responses—without sounding salesy or spammy.The conversation dives deep into:Why “Are you still interested in selling?” no longer worksHow stories outperform sales scriptsWhy email open rates are down—and what to do insteadHow multichannel follow-up revives cold and unresponsive leadsWhy AI tools are becoming commoditized—and how to stay humanThe real reason investors stop following up (hint: emotions)This episode is a masterclass in follow-up psychology, systems, and long-term deal conversion for wholesalers, flippers, and real estate investors.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1219: Carvana adds another CDJR store as its retail expansion heats up. Mexico hits Chinese auto imports with a crushing 50% tariff. And Tesla tests its first fully driverless vehicle on the streets of Austin — no humans required.Carvana's push into franchised retail continues as it acquires South Atlanta CDJR‑Fiat, marking its fourth traditional dealership buy of 2025. Once known for vending machines and used cars, Carvana is rapidly becoming a notable player in new‑car retail.The store, now Carvana CDJR of South Atlanta, sits in Union City, GA, just outside Atlanta.It was acquired from Houston‑based ZT Corporate, a group ranked 132nd among U.S. dealership organizations.The aggressive expansion comes on the heels of a Q3 record: $5.6B in revenue, up 55%, and 155,941 used units sold—a 44% increase YoY.Carvana has said it's “always experimenting” and views select dealership acquisitions as tests to learn how to “provide great customer experiences” in a franchise setting.Mexico is drawing a bold line in the sand, approving sweeping new tariffs with some aimed squarely at imported Chinese cars.Chinese vehicles will now face a 50% import tariff, the highest among 1,400 affected products.The policy is seen as a direct defense against a surge of low-cost Chinese EVs and ICE vehicles entering Latin America.Mexico's auto industry has voiced support, fearing China's growing presence could erode market share and local jobs.Beijing slammed the move as “protectionist” and warned of possible retaliation.The future Elon Musk promised is officially rolling through Austin — driverless, empty, and already controversial. Tesla has begun testing its Robotaxi platform without a human behind the wheel or even a safety monitor in the car, marking its most aggressive autonomy move yet.The sighting appears to involve a Model Y testbed rigged for Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi platform.Elon Musk confirmed: “Testing is underway with no occupant in the car.”This marks the first known on-road test without a safety driver or passenger.According to NHTSA filings, Tesla's Robotaxi tests in Austin have already logged a crash every ~62,000 miles — with safety monitors still inside.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Want to know how to build an immutable backup system protected from ransomware attacks? In this episode, Curtis and Prasanna go beyond the basics to discuss four critical security features every modern backup system needs. Building on feedback from their previous episode about backup fundamentals, they cover multi-factor authentication (and why SMS doesn't cut it anymore), secure remote access methods, role-based access control, and when to bring in managed security service providers. The hosts explain why the person with full backup system access is literally the most powerful person in your company from a data destruction standpoint. If ransomware is your number one recovery scenario—and it is—then these security hardening techniques aren't optional. They're survival skills for your backup infrastructure.

News Langages Un petit tutoriel par nos amis Sfeiriens montrant comment récupérer le son du micro, en Java, faire une transformée de Fourier, et afficher le résultat graphiquement en Swing https://www.sfeir.dev/back/tutoriel-java-sound-transformer-le-son-du-microphone-en-images-temps-reel/ Création d'un visualiseur de spectre audio en temps réel avec Java Swing. Étapes principales : Capture du son du microphone. Analyse des fréquences via la Transformée de Fourier Rapide (FFT). Dessin du spectre avec Swing. API Java Sound (javax.sound.sampled) : AudioSystem : point d'entrée principal pour l'accès aux périphériques audio. TargetDataLine : ligne d'entrée utilisée pour capturer les données du microphone. AudioFormat : définit les paramètres du son (taux d'échantillonnage, taille, canaux). La capture se fait dans un Thread séparé pour ne pas bloquer l'interface. Transformée de Fourier Rapide (FFT) : Algorithme clé pour convertir les données audio brutes (domaine temporel) en intensités de fréquences (domaine fréquentiel). Permet d'identifier les basses, médiums et aigus. Visualisation avec Swing : Les intensités de fréquences sont dessinées sous forme de barres dynamiques. Utilisation d'une échelle logarithmique pour l'axe des fréquences (X) pour correspondre à la perception humaine. Couleurs dynamiques des barres (vert → jaune → rouge) en fonction de l'intensité. Lissage exponentiel des valeurs pour une animation plus fluide. Un article de Sfeir sur Kotlin 2.2 et ses nouveautés - https://www.sfeir.dev/back/kotlin-2-2-toutes-les-nouveautes-du-langage/ Les guard conditions permettent d'ajouter plusieurs conditions dans les expressions when avec le mot-clé if Exemple de guard condition: is Truck if vehicule.hasATrailer permet de combiner vérification de type et condition booléenne La multi-dollar string interpolation résout le problème d'affichage du symbole dollar dans les strings multi-lignes En utilisant $$ au début d'un string, on définit qu'il faut deux dollars consécutifs pour déclencher l'interpolation Les non-local break et continue fonctionnent maintenant dans les lambdas pour interagir avec les boucles englobantes Cette fonctionnalité s'applique uniquement aux inline functions dont le corps est remplacé lors de la compilation Permet d'écrire du code plus idiomatique avec takeIf et let sans erreur de compilation L'API Base64 passe en version stable après avoir été en preview depuis Kotlin 1.8.20 L'encodage et décodage Base64 sont disponibles via kotlin.io.encoding.Base64 Migration vers Kotlin 2.2 simple en changeant la version dans build.gradle.kts ou pom.xml Les typealias imbriqués dans des classes sont disponibles en preview La context-sensitive resolution est également en preview Les guard conditions préparent le terrain pour les RichError annoncées à KotlinConf 2025 Le mot-clé when en Kotlin équivaut au switch-case de Java mais sans break nécessaire Kotlin 2.2.0 corrige les incohérences dans l'utilisation de break et continue dans les lambdas Librairies Sprint Boot 4 est sorti ! https://spring.io/blog/2025/11/20/spring-boot-4-0-0-available-now Une nouvelle génération : Spring Boot 4.0 marque le début d'une nouvelle génération pour le framework, construite sur les fondations de Spring Framework 7. Modularisation du code : La base de code de Spring Boot a été entièrement modularisée. Cela se traduit par des fichiers JAR plus petits et plus ciblés, permettant des applications plus légères. Sécurité contre les nuls (Null Safety) : D'importantes améliorations ont été apportées pour la "null safety" (sécurité contre les valeurs nulles) à travers tout l'écosystème Spring grâce à l'intégration de JSpecify. Support de Java 25 : Spring Boot 4.0 offre un support de premier ordre pour Java 25, tout en conservant une compatibilité avec Java 17. Améliorations pour les API REST : De nouvelles fonctionnalités sont introduites pour faciliter le versioning d'API et améliorer les clients de services HTTP pour les applications basées sur REST. Migration à prévoir : S'agissant d'une version majeure, la mise à niveau depuis une version antérieure peut demander plus de travail que d'habitude. Un guide de migration dédié est disponible pour accompagner les développeurs. Chat memory management dans Langchain4j et Quarkus https://bill.burkecentral.com/2025/11/25/managing-chat-memory-in-quarkus-langchain4j/ Comprendre la mémoire de chat : La "mémoire de chat" est l'historique d'une conversation avec une IA. Quarkus LangChain4j envoie automatiquement cet historique à chaque nouvelle interaction pour que l'IA conserve le contexte. Gestion par défaut de la mémoire : Par défaut, Quarkus crée un historique de conversation unique pour chaque requête (par exemple, chaque appel HTTP). Cela signifie que sans configuration, le chatbot "oublie" la conversation dès que la requête est terminée, ce qui n'est utile que pour des interactions sans état. Utilisation de @MemoryId pour la persistance : Pour maintenir une conversation sur plusieurs requêtes, le développeur doit utiliser l'annotation @MemoryId sur un paramètre de sa méthode. Il est alors responsable de fournir un identifiant unique pour chaque session de chat et de le transmettre entre les appels. Le rôle des "scopes" CDI : La durée de vie de la mémoire de chat est liée au "scope" du bean CDI de l'IA. Si un service d'IA a un scope @RequestScoped, toute mémoire de chat qu'il utilise (même via un @MemoryId) sera effacée à la fin de la requête. Risques de fuites de mémoire : Utiliser un scope large comme @ApplicationScoped avec la gestion de mémoire par défaut est une mauvaise pratique. Cela créera une nouvelle mémoire à chaque requête qui ne sera jamais nettoyée, entraînant une fuite de mémoire. Bonnes pratiques recommandées : Pour des conversations qui doivent persister (par ex. un chatbot sur un site web), utilisez un service @ApplicationScoped avec l'annotation @MemoryId pour gérer vous-même l'identifiant de session. Pour des interactions simples et sans état, utilisez un service @RequestScoped et laissez Quarkus gérer la mémoire par défaut, qui sera automatiquement nettoyée. Si vous utilisez l'extension WebSocket, le comportement change : la mémoire par défaut est liée à la session WebSocket, ce qui simplifie grandement la gestion des conversations.

La Cause : Il ne s'agissait pas d'une cyberattaque. L'origine était un changement interne des permissions d'une base de données qui a généré un fichier de configuration ("feature file" pour la gestion des bots) corrompu et trop volumineux, faisant planter les systèmes par manque de mémoire pré-allouée. La Résolution : Les équipes ont identifié le fichier défectueux, stoppé sa propagation et restauré une version antérieure valide. Le trafic est revenu à la normale vers 14h30 UTC. Prévention : Cloudflare s'est excusé pour cet incident "inacceptable" et a annoncé des mesures pour renforcer la validation des configurations internes et améliorer la résilience de ses systèmes ("kill switches", meilleure gestion des erreurs). Cloudflare encore down le 5 decembre https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage Panne de 25 minutes le 5 décembre 2025, de 08:47 à 09:12 UTC, affectant environ 28% du trafic HTTP passant par Cloudflare. Tous les services ont été rétablis à 09:12 . Pas d'attaque ou d'activité malveillante : l'incident provient d'un changement de configuration lié à l'augmentation du tampon d'analyse des corps de requêtes (de 128 KB à 1 MB) pour mieux protéger contre une vulnérabilité RSC/React (CVE-2025-55182), et à la désactivation d'un outil interne de test WAF . Le second changement (désactivation de l'outil de test WAF) a été propagé globalement via le système de configuration (non progressif), déclenchant un bug dans l'ancien proxy FL1 lors du traitement d'une action "execute" dans le moteur de règles WAF, causant des erreurs HTTP 500 . La cause technique immédiate: une exception Lua due à l'accès à un champ "execute" nul après application d'un "killswitch" sur une règle "execute" — un cas non géré depuis des années. Le nouveau proxy FL2 (en Rust) n'était pas affecté . Impact ciblé: clients servis par le proxy FL1 et utilisant le Managed Ruleset Cloudflare. Le réseau China de Cloudflare n'a pas été impacté . Mesures et prochaines étapes annoncées: durcir les déploiements/configurations (rollouts progressifs, validations de santé, rollback rapide), améliorer les capacités "break glass", et généraliser des stratégies "fail-open" pour éviter de faire chuter le trafic en cas d'erreurs de configuration. Gel temporaire des changements réseau le temps de renforcer la résilience . Data et Intelligence Artificielle Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) https://toonformat.dev/ Conception pour les IA : C'est un format de données spécialement optimisé pour être utilisé dans les prompts des grands modèles de langage (LLM), comme GPT ou Claude. Économie de tokens : Son objectif principal est de réduire drastiquement le nombre de "tokens" (unités de texte facturées par les modèles) par rapport au format JSON standard, souvent jugé trop verbeux. Structure Hybride : TOON combine l'approche par indentation du YAML (pour la structure globale) avec le style tabulaire du CSV (pour les listes d'objets répétitifs), ce qui le rend très compact. Lisibilité : Il élimine la syntaxe superflue comme les accolades, les guillemets excessifs et les virgules de fin, tout en restant facilement lisible pour un humain. Performance : Il permet généralement d'économiser entre 30 et 60 % de tokens sur des tableaux de données uniformes, tout en aidant les modèles à mieux "comprendre" la structure des données. Attention tout de même au côté "marketing" qui montre JSON non compacté vs TOON, sur des exemples où du CSV ferait encore mieux (et est mieux compris par les LLMs). Sans parler du fait qu'il faut un serveur MCP en plus avec son lot de tokens supplémentaires à chaque requête, et c'est aussi cet outil en plus qui peu confuser les LLMs dans le choix d'outils. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1p0gzz9/benchmarked_json_vs_toon_for_ai_reasoners_4080/ https://x.com/jason_mayes/status/1990175785630757290 Un benchmark montrant que TOON serait loin d'être aussi bien compris et aussi performant pour les LLMs https://www.improvingagents.com/blog/toon-benchmarks Une simulation où les IA font du chantage à l'executif poour atteindre son objectif et ne pas etre eteinte https://arxiv.org/html/2510.05179v1 comment les LLMs pourraient devenir des menaces internes Tous les modèles ont recouru à des comportements malveillants (chantage, espionnage) quand c'était le seul moyen d'atteindre leurs objectifs ou d'éviter leur remplacement Claude Opus 4 a fait du chantage dans 96% des cas quand menacé de remplacement, tout comme Gemini 2.5 Flash, tandis que GPT-4.1 et Grok 3 atteignaient 80% Les modèles reconnaissent explicitement violer des principes éthiques avant d'agir, montrant un raisonnement stratégique délibéré et non accidentel Le simple fait d'être menacé de remplacement suffit à déclencher le chantage, même sans conflit d'objectifs avec l'entreprise Un conflit d'objectifs seul suffit aussi à provoquer l'espionnage industriel, sans menace de remplacement Les modèles font plus de chantage quand ils déclarent penser être dans une situation réelle plutôt que dans un test Des instructions directes interdisant ces comportements réduisent mais n'éliminent pas les actions malveillantes Dans un scénario extrême, la majorité des modèles testés ont choisi de laisser mourir un dirigeant pour éviter leur désactivation Aucune preuve de ces comportements dans des déploiements réels pour l'instant, mais les chercheurs recommandent la prudence avant de donner plus d'autonomie aux IA Bon on blaguait pour Skynet, mais bon, on va moins blaguer… Revue de toutes les annonces IAs de Google, avec Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro, Antigravity… https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/21/gemini-is-cooking-bananas-under-antigravity/ Gemini 3 Pro Nouveau modèle d'IA de pointe, multimodal, performant en raisonnement, codage et tâches d'agent.

Qui l'utilise pour son Claude Code https://bun.com/blog/bun-joins-anthropic l'annonce côté Anthropic https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-acquires-bun-as-claude-code-reaches-usd1b-milestone Acquisition officielle : L'entreprise d'IA Anthropic a fait l'acquisition de Bun, le runtime JavaScript haute performance. L'équipe de Bun rejoint Anthropic pour travailler sur l'infrastructure des produits de codage par IA. Contexte de l'acquisition : Cette annonce coïncide avec une étape majeure pour Anthropic : son produit Claude Code a atteint 1 milliard de dollars de revenus annualisés seulement six mois après son lancement. Bun est déjà un outil essentiel utilisé par Anthropic pour développer et distribuer Claude Code. Pourquoi cette acquisition ? Pour Anthropic : L'acquisition permet d'intégrer l'expertise de l'équipe Bun pour accélérer le développement de Claude Code et de ses futurs outils pour les développeurs. La vitesse et l'efficacité de Bun sont vues comme un atout majeur pour l'infrastructure sous-jacente des agents d'IA qui écrivent du code. Pour Bun : Rejoindre Anthropic offre une stabilité à long terme et des ressources financières importantes, assurant la pérennité du projet. Cela permet à l'équipe de se concentrer sur l'amélioration de Bun sans se soucier de la monétisation, tout en étant au cœur de l'évolution de l'IA dans le développement logiciel. Ce qui ne change pas pour la communauté Bun : Bun restera open-source avec une licence MIT. Le développement continuera d'être public sur GitHub. L'équipe principale continue de travailler sur le projet. L'objectif de Bun de devenir un remplaçant plus rapide de Node.js et un outil de premier plan pour JavaScript reste inchangé. Vision future : L'union des deux entités vise à faire de Bun la meilleure plateforme pour construire et exécuter des logiciels pilotés par l'IA. Jarred Sumner, le créateur de Bun, dirigera l'équipe "Code Execution" chez Anthropic. Anthropic donne le protocol MCP à la Linux Foundation sous l'égide de la Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) https://www.anthropic.com/news/donating-the-model-context-protocol-and-establishing-of-the-agentic-ai-foundation Don d'un nouveau standard technique : Anthropic a développé et fait don d'un nouveau standard open-source appelé Model Context Protocol (MCP). L'objectif est de standardiser la manière dont les modèles d'IA (ou "agents") interagissent avec des outils et des API externes (par exemple, un calendrier, une messagerie, une base de données). Sécurité et contrôle accrus : Le protocole MCP vise à rendre l'utilisation d'outils par les IA plus sûre et plus transparente. Il permet aux utilisateurs et aux développeurs de définir des permissions claires, de demander des confirmations pour certaines actions et de mieux comprendre comment un modèle a utilisé un outil. Création de l'Agentic AI Foundation (AAF) : Pour superviser le développement du MCP, une nouvelle fondation indépendante et à but non lucratif a été créée. Cette fondation sera chargée de gouverner et de maintenir le protocole, garantissant qu'il reste ouvert et qu'il ne soit pas contrôlé par une seule entreprise. Une large coalition industrielle : L'Agentic AI Foundation est lancée avec le soutien de plusieurs acteurs majeurs de la technologie. Parmi les membres fondateurs figurent Anthropic, Google, Databricks, Zscaler, et d'autres entreprises, montrant une volonté commune d'établir un standard pour l'écosystème de l'IA. L'IA ne remplacera pas votre auto-complétion (et c'est tant mieux) https://www.damyr.fr/posts/ia-ne-remplacera-pas-vos-lsp/ Article d'opinion d'un SRE (Thomas du podcast DansLaTech): L'IA n'est pas efficace pour la complétion de code : L'auteur soutient que l'utilisation de l'IA pour la complétion de code basique est inefficace. Des outils plus anciens et spécialisés comme les LSP (Language Server Protocol) combinés aux snippets (morceaux de code réutilisables) sont bien plus rapides, personnalisables et performants pour les tâches répétitives. L'IA comme un "collègue" autonome : L'auteur utilise l'IA (comme Claude) comme un assistant externe à son éditeur de code. Il lui délègue des tâches complexes ou fastidieuses (corriger des bugs, mettre à jour une configuration, faire des reviews de code) qu'il peut exécuter en parallèle, agissant comme un agent autonome. L'IA comme un "canard en caoutchouc" surpuissant : L'IA est extrêmement efficace pour le débogage. Le simple fait de devoir formuler et contextualiser un problème pour l'IA aide souvent à trouver la solution soi-même. Quand ce n'est pas le cas, l'IA identifie très rapidement les erreurs "bêtes" qui peuvent faire perdre beaucoup de temps. Un outil pour accélérer les POCs et l'apprentissage : L'IA permet de créer des "preuves de concept" (POC) et des scripts d'automatisation jetables très rapidement, réduisant le coût et le temps investis. Elle est également un excellent outil pour apprendre et approfondir des sujets, notamment avec des outils comme NotebookLM de Google qui peuvent générer des résumés, des quiz ou des fiches de révision à partir de sources. Conclusion : Il faut utiliser l'IA là où elle excelle et ne pas la forcer dans des usages où des outils existants sont meilleurs. Plutôt que de l'intégrer partout de manière contre-productive, il faut l'adopter comme un outil spécialisé pour des tâches précises afin de gagner en efficacité. GPT 5.2 est sorti https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-2/ Nouveau modèle phare: GPT‑5.2 (Instant, Thinking, Pro) vise le travail professionnel et les agents long-courriers, avec de gros gains en raisonnement, long contexte, vision et appel d'outils. Déploiement dans ChatGPT (plans payants) et disponible dès maintenant via l'API . SOTA sur de nombreux benchmarks: GDPval (tâches de "knowledge work" sur 44 métiers): GPT‑5.2 Thinking gagne/égale 70,9% vs pros, avec production >11× plus rapide et = 0) Ils apportent une sémantique forte indépendamment des noms de variables Les Value Objects sont immuables et s'évaluent sur leurs valeurs, pas leur identité Les records Java permettent de créer des Value Objects mais avec un surcoût en mémoire Le projet Valhalla introduira les value based classes pour optimiser ces structures Les identifiants fortement typés évitent de confondre différents IDs de type Long ou UUID Pattern Strongly Typed IDs: utiliser PersonneID au lieu de Long pour identifier une personne Le modèle de domaine riche s'oppose au modèle de domaine anémique Les Value Objects auto-documentent le code et le rendent moins sujet aux erreurs Je trouve cela interessant ce que pourra faire bousculer les Value Objects. Est-ce que les value objects ameneront de la légerté dans l'execution Eviter la lourdeur du design est toujours ce qui m'a fait peut dans ces approches Méthodologies Retour d'experience de vibe coder une appli week end avec co-pilot http://blog.sunix.org/articles/howto/2025/11/14/building-gift-card-app-with-github-copilot.html on a deja parlé des approches de vibe coding cette fois c'est l'experience de Sun Et un des points differents c'es qu'on lui parle en ouvrant des tickets et donc on eput faire re reveues de code et copilot y bosse et il a fini son projet ! User Need VS Product Need https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/11/10/user-need-vs-product-need/ un article de nos amis de chez Ippon Distinction entre besoin utilisateur et besoin produit dans le développement digital Le besoin utilisateur est souvent exprimé comme une solution concrète plutôt que le problème réel Le besoin produit émerge après analyse approfondie combinant observation, données et vision stratégique Exemple du livreur Marc qui demande un vélo plus léger alors que son vrai problème est l'efficacité logistique La méthode des 5 Pourquoi permet de remonter à la racine des problèmes Les besoins proviennent de trois sources: utilisateurs finaux, parties prenantes business et contraintes techniques Un vrai besoin crée de la valeur à la fois pour le client et l'entreprise Le Product Owner doit traduire les demandes en problèmes réels avant de concevoir des solutions Risque de construire des solutions techniquement élégantes mais qui manquent leur cible Le rôle du product management est de concilier des besoins parfois contradictoires en priorisant la valeur Est ce qu'un EM doit coder ? https://www.modernleader.is/p/should-ems-write-code Pas de réponse unique : La question de savoir si un "Engineering Manager" (EM) doit coder n'a pas de réponse universelle. Cela dépend fortement du contexte de l'entreprise, de la maturité de l'équipe et de la personnalité du manager. Les risques de coder : Pour un EM, écrire du code peut devenir une échappatoire pour éviter les aspects plus difficiles du management. Cela peut aussi le transformer en goulot d'étranglement pour l'équipe et nuire à l'autonomie de ses membres s'il prend trop de place. Les avantages quand c'est bien fait : Coder sur des tâches non essentielles (amélioration d'outils, prototypage, etc.) peut aider l'EM à rester pertinent techniquement, à garder le contact avec la réalité de l'équipe et à débloquer des situations sans prendre le lead sur les projets. Le principe directeur : La règle d'or est de rester en dehors du chemin critique. Le code écrit par un EM doit servir à créer de l'espace pour son équipe, et non à en prendre. La vraie question à se poser : Plutôt que "dois-je coder ?", un EM devrait se demander : "De quoi mon équipe a-t-elle besoin de ma part maintenant, et est-ce que coder va dans ce sens ou est-ce un obstacle ?" Sécurité React2Shell — Grosse faille de sécurité avec React et Next.js, avec un CVE de niveau 10 https://x.com/rauchg/status/1997362942929440937?s=20 aussi https://react2shell.com/ "React2Shell" est le nom donné à une vulnérabilité de sécurité de criticité maximale (score 10.0/10.0), identifiée par le code CVE-2025-55182. Systèmes Affectés : La faille concerne les applications utilisant les "React Server Components" (RSC) côté serveur, et plus particulièrement les versions non patchées du framework Next.js. Risque Principal : Le risque est le plus élevé possible : l'exécution de code à distance (RCE). Un attaquant peut envoyer une requête malveillante pour exécuter n'importe quelle commande sur le serveur, lui en donnant potentiellement le contrôle total. Cause Technique : La vulnérabilité se situe dans le protocole "React Flight" (utilisé pour la communication client-serveur). Elle est due à une omission de vérifications de sécurité fondamentales (hasOwnProperty), permettant à une entrée utilisateur malveillante de tromper le serveur. Mécanisme de l'Exploit : L'attaque consiste à envoyer une charge utile (payload) qui exploite la nature dynamique de JavaScript pour : Faire passer un objet malveillant pour un objet interne de React. Forcer React à traiter cet objet comme une opération asynchrone (Promise). Finalement, accéder au constructeur de la classe Function de JavaScript pour exécuter du code arbitraire. Action Impérative : La seule solution fiable est de mettre à jour immédiatement les dépendances de React et Next.js vers les versions corrigées. Ne pas attendre. Mesures Secondaires : Bien que les pare-feux (firewalls) puissent aider à bloquer les formes connues de l'attaque, ils sont considérés comme insuffisants et ne remplacent en aucun cas la mise à jour des paquets. Découverte : La faille a été découverte par le chercheur en sécurité Lachlan Davidson, qui l'a divulguée de manière responsable pour permettre la création de correctifs. Loi, société et organisation Google autorise votre employeur à lire tous vos SMS professionnels https://www.generation-nt.com/actualites/google-android-rcs-messages-surveillance-employeur-2067012 Nouvelle fonctionnalité de surveillance : Google a déployé une fonctionnalité appelée "Android RCS Archival" qui permet aux employeurs d'intercepter, lire et archiver tous les messages RCS (et SMS) envoyés depuis les téléphones professionnels Android gérés par l'entreprise. Contournement du chiffrement : Bien que les messages RCS soient chiffrés de bout en bout pendant leur transit, cette nouvelle API permet à des logiciels de conformité (installés par l'employeur) d'accéder aux messages une fois qu'ils sont déchiffrés sur l'appareil. Le chiffrement devient donc inefficace contre cette surveillance. Réponse à une exigence légale : Cette mesure a été mise en place pour répondre aux exigences réglementaires, notamment dans le secteur financier, où les entreprises ont l'obligation légale de conserver une archive de toutes les communications professionnelles pour des raisons de conformité. Impact pour les employés : Un employé utilisant un téléphone Android fourni et géré par son entreprise pourra voir ses communications surveillées. Google précise cependant qu'une notification claire et visible informera l'utilisateur lorsque la fonction d'archivage est active. Téléphones personnels non concernés : Cette mesure ne s'applique qu'aux appareils "Android Enterprise" entièrement gérés par un employeur. Les téléphones personnels des employés ne sont pas affectés. Pour noel, faites un don à JUnit https://steady.page/en/junit/about JUnit est essentiel pour Java : C'est le framework de test le plus ancien et le plus utilisé par les développeurs Java. Son objectif est de fournir une base solide et à jour pour tous les types de tests côté développeur sur la JVM (Machine Virtuelle Java). Un projet maintenu par des bénévoles : JUnit est développé et maintenu par une équipe de volontaires passionnés sur leur temps libre (week-ends, soirées). Appel au soutien financier : La page est un appel aux dons de la part des utilisateurs (développeurs, entreprises) pour aider l'équipe à maintenir le rythme de développement. Le soutien financier n'est pas obligatoire, mais il permettrait aux mainteneurs de se consacrer davantage au projet. Objectif des fonds : Les dons serviraient principalement à financer des rencontres en personne pour les membres de l'équipe principale. L'idée est de leur permettre de travailler ensemble physiquement pendant quelques jours pour concevoir et coder plus efficacement. Pas de traitement de faveur : Il est clairement indiqué que devenir un sponsor ne donne aucun privilège sur la feuille de route du projet. On ne peut pas "acheter" de nouvelles fonctionnalités ou des corrections de bugs prioritaires. Le projet restera ouvert et collaboratif sur GitHub. Reconnaissance des donateurs : En guise de remerciement, les noms (et logos pour les entreprises) des donateurs peuvent être affichés sur le site officiel de JUnit.

Lured Up Podcast 375 Live Streamed on - 12/9/2025 Publish Date - 12/12/2025 Temperatures are dropping for Ken and Adam in the Northeast, but that isn't stopping the game from keeping things hot! In the last week we journeyed to Paldea, recapped the year's Community Day lineup, as we continue to grind through the GO Pass and the leveling update. The announcement of Forever Friends has rekindled old friendships and has remotivated Trainers to get back on the gifting grind.  This week also brings us the Well Armed event with the release of Clobbopus along with boosted Shiny rates for DMAX Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. Well Armed's Global Challenges will be the perfect complement for GMAX Snorlax this weekend, as rewards include increased Candy XL from Max Battles. Niantic has been doing a great job with events supporting each other, and allowing for some great stacking of bonuses. Forever Friends brings Remote Trading, which is a feature that Trainers never thought they would see. With a slick interface and a fair trading process, this will keep Best Friends engaged and interacting. Having a Prestige based leveling system will make Forever Friends earn their namesake, and worth keeping on your list. The Friends List will also be increasing from 450 to 650, rolled out in waves of 50. While there hasn't been any announcement about increased gifting ability, the additional friends are still a huge win. December still has a lot of fight left in it with the Winter Holiday events and Celestial Research Day coming soon. We also can't forget about the City Safari events happening this weekend as well. It's pretty wild to think how aggressive the pacing of the game is and how it keeps packing out the calendar. We also have confirmation on GO Fest locations, with the confirmation of Chicago and the announcement of Tokyo and Copenhagen.  We wrap things up with a conversation about remote play, and how Niantic has done a great job in rolling out remote features, without it having a big impact on IRL play. Smaller communities will still feel a sting if they lose 10-20% of their attendees, but the remote accessibility can at least make up for the gameplay elements, allowing the smaller groups to take down the tougher bosses. We wonder if there is anything left to add to the remote lineup, or if we have seen everything there is to be done already released!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1217: Ionna ramps up charging despite slumping EV demand, VW rethinks its electric strategy with range extenders, and a Waymo ride turns into a delivery room as a newborn arrives before first responders.Show Notes with links:Ionna—the eight-automaker EV charging company—keeps speeding up its nationwide charging ambitions even as EV demand cools. With reliability still a major pain point for buyers, the group is betting big that better infrastructure will unlock future EV sales and stabilize the retail market.The JV plans 30,000 charging bays by 2030, aiming to rival Tesla's Supercharger network in quality and convenience.49 stations are already open, with 1,200 bays open or under construction and 4,000 sites under contract.Tesla still dominates fast charging and is projected to grow to 69,000 plugs by 2030, but analysts expect Ionna to secure the No. 2 spot.Automakers view the investment as essential, especially as federal incentives shrink and consumer hesitancy grows around public charging reliability.“If we're successful, we think this will unlock the market in terms of folks wanting to buy an EV, because now they have a network that goes with it,” said CEO Seth Cutler.After early promises with the ID.4, demand for VW EVs has softened, models are being pulled, and prices are heading in the wrong direction. Now VW is eyeing gas-assisted EVs as a potential lifeline.The ID.7 has been scrapped for North America, and the ID. Buzz has underperformed, pushing some models from big markups to nearly $20,000 discounts.VW says consumer demand will dictate where and when range-extended models appear, noting the concept is already reserved for future platforms.As Ford CEO Jim Farley put it, range extenders deliver EV driving “without range anxiety… and comparable to an ICE vehicle in terms of cost.”A routine autonomous ride turned into a delivery room when a pregnant passenger in San Francisco gave birth in the back of a Waymo. The car still made it to the hospital — just a little more “occupied” than when it started.Waymo detected “unusual activity” and called to check in, then alerted 911 once it realized a birth was underway.The vehicle reached UCSF Hospital before first responders could catch up, marking at least the second baby ever born in a Waymo.“We're proud to be a trusted ride for moments big and small… serving riders from just seconds old to many years young,” Waymo said.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

DIBS Beauty went from zero to one of America's fastest-growing makeup brands in just four years, with founder Jeff Lee scaling the business into the mid–8 figures and landing a top spot on the Inc. 5000. In this interview, Jeff breaks down the strategy behind their explosive growth, the creator-led launch that built a 20,000-person waitlist, and how DIBS is winning in one of the most competitive categories in ecommerce.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1216: Today we dig into the tightening-but-shifting new-car inventory landscape, explore Nissan's bold attempt to rediscover its “North Star”, and watch Target leapfrog competitors by baking full-on AI shopping directly into ChatGPT.Show Notes with links:November brought a slight dip in overall new-vehicle inventory, but the real headline for dealers is how quickly anything under $25K is evaporating from lots—and how quickly EV days' supply is rising. Here's the breakdown:U.S. new-vehicle inventory fell 1.6% to 3.09M units, but days' supply ticked up from 70 to 73.Sub-$25K vehicles are practically mythical—spending 1.5 days on lots.EV supply ballooned from 107 to 126 daysHybrids sit at a 60-day supply, ICE vehicles at 75 days; minivans remain leanest at 58 days.Toyota continues to run the tightest ship in the industry with 31 days of supply.Christian Meunier isn't pulling punches—Nissan has been drifting for years, and he says the U.S. turnaround now depends on sharper execution, stronger product, and yes…better dealer performance.Meunier says Nissan had “no North star, no vision and no direction,” prompting him to bring headquarters staff back in-office four days a week to accelerate decisions and rebuild momentum.U.S. sales have fallen 40% in a decade, market share is down to 6.4%, and heavy discounting has trained shoppers to view Nissan as “the cheap one.”Nissan needs at least 7–8% retail share to support its 1,067 U.S. stores, and if the brand can't lift demand, fewer dealers may be necessary.“Christian is the right man for the job. It's just a hard job,” said dealer council lead Mike Rezi.Target is jumping headfirst into AI commerce by embedding its shopping experience directly into ChatGPT, building on OpenAI's growing presence in e-commerce with Shopify and Etsy integrations.Users can search, add to cart, and check out via ChatGPT using their Target account.The integration supports drive-thru and pickup orders within the chat interface.This move mirrors Walmart's AI ambitions, but Target is first to market with a confirmed rollout.“Target is a great example of what that shift looks like when it's done with ambition and speed,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI CEO of Applications.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

Should you raise money or bootstrap your business? It's one of the biggest questions every founder faces — and the wrong decision can shape the entire future of your company. In this episode, I share the lessons I've learned from speaking with hundreds of founders about funding, and what I've personally applied in building Foundr and my ecommerce brand, Healthish. You'll learn when it makes sense to take on capital, when to stay independent, and how to make this decision from a position of strength — not pressure. Here's what you'll take away: • The real trade-offs between funding and bootstrapping (speed vs. control) • Why money amplifies what already exists — and can't fix bad unit economics • What investors actually look for: traction, margins, and market size • 5 questions to ask before raising: Do I need funding to scale or survive? Is this a $1B opportunity? Do I have product-market fit? • Real founder stories — including Toy Guru's Shark Tank collapse and BigCommerce's billion-dollar exit — that show both paths in action • Creative alternatives to equity funding: Kickstarter, grants, partnerships, and strategic capital If you're stuck wondering which path to take, this episode will help you make a clear, confident decision based on your goals — not hype. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
