Could this be used to root Android devices? Does Android ship with algif_aead?

Not if it's their own car industry. They'll only throw the book at foreign companies.

There are lots of different scenarios you can conjure up. Another could be that Israel assassinated him after he refused to support their nuclear program OR to silence him.

First thing that came to mind is that he might have been secretly working for Israel's nuclear program but this is all very speculative. It does feel plausible though given that Israel has already assassinated plenty of Iranian nuclear scientists; so there is some precedent for it.

He is a nuclear scientist so he might have been working for some country's nuclear program?

I can't spot anything conspiratorial in that article, though?

> As part of our ongoing work to protect customers using React against a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-55182, we started rolling out an increase to our buffer size to 1MB, the default limit allowed by Next.js applications.

Why would increasing the buffer size help with that security vulnerability? Is it just a performance optimization?

I've seen lots of weird tricks malware authors use, people are creative. My favorite is that they'd load up a text file with a modified base64 table from Dropbox which points to the URL to exfiltrate to. When you report it to Dropbox, they typically ignore the report because it just seems like random nonsense instead of being actually malicious.

This is a great idea but I'm a bit concerned about your bandwidth costs and illegal/malicious content being hosted used under your domain.

For the second point, you might want to implement some kind of browser warning similar to what Ngrok does.
