A whole set of tweets written just before bed and set to go out when I'm fast asleep. I'm vaguely worried that I've mistimed them, but too late now.

The Snyder Cut of the Justice League will premier on HBO Max on March 18

When the Justice League film first came out, fans were surprised that the tone of the film did not match the tone set by Zack Snyder for the DCEU. The film was essentially retooled by Joss Whedon and was a bit of a mess. Since then, fans have demanded that Warner Bros. release the Zack Snyder cut of the film.

Apple iOS 14 introduces BlastDoor Sandbox security system to iMessage

In the past, there have been various instances where security researchers revealed that a “string of texts” received over SMS could crash your phone or worse, send it into a boot-loop. These kinds of exploits have been reported at least once every year for both iOS and Android smartphones but turns out, iOS 14 has a way to thwarting these kinds of exploits for good, thanks to a system called BlastDoor. Discovered by a Google Project Zero researched named Samuel Groß, BlastDoor works by parsing all the data contained in an iMessage in a secure sandbox, isolated from the rest of the operating system. By doing so, the contents of the iMessage, if nefarious, won’t have an impact on the OS. All apps installed on an iOS device exist in their own sandboxes, which governed by very tight policies. The BlastDoor sandbox for iMessage has been designed to thwart most exploits which either use brute force or exploit the shared cache on iOS.  Groß says he found the existence of BlastDoor when i...
