Badly [re-]titled ArsTechnica article warns of large multi-vector malware incursions in IoT and personal devices suspected to be Chinese in origin

"In total the researchers confirmed eight devices with backdoors installed—seven TV boxes, the T95, T95Z, T95MAX, X88, Q9, X12PLUS, and MXQ Pro 5G, and a tablet J5-W. (Some of these have also been identified by other security researchers looking into the issue in recent months)."

edit this is the v4 of the title of this post. I'm not accustomed to editorializing or de-editorializing posts. I believe that the brand names involved were fairly trivial to the discussion of escalating malware cyberoperations especially if they are state sponsored. Earlier versions of the title were mischiefously incendiary. I apologize for that.

The Southern Hemisphere, where it’s winter, has been really hot too

[...] the weather was pretty much like summer in June, July, and August across parts of South America, Africa, and Australia. Peruvians went to the beach last month as temperatures reached 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly balmy weather engulfed Paraguay and Chile. Buenos Aires, Argentina, reached 86°F, the hottest August temperature in at least 117 years. The heat was downright dangerous in Brazil as thermometers ticked above 100°F.

Trump's Hollow 'Empty Folders' Defense - FactCheck.org

Strictly speculation here. But, what if the motive not to return the documents for so long was because of empty folders? If any of those documents were traded for favors or money, he would need to hide the evidence of the crime that carries a death sentence. Not wanting to leave behind evidence, he took as many boxes as he could to search for them later. It's possible that he could not find all of the empty folders until the FBI did. When he claimed that mostly all he took was empty folders, it may have been an unconscious projection or gaslighting revealing his motives. The article is a bit dated, but those empty folders have been mentioned recently in discussions and news about the Mar a Lago docs case, and this article shines a little extra light on that particular detail. Oddly, there is even a claim that one of these folders was used as a lampshade of sorts, in his bedroom. Why would he have one of these in his bedroom? My guess is consternation and fear.
