Unsafe eval() in TestRail CLI

Posted by Devin Cook on Nov 06

This is not a very exciting vulnerability, but I had already publicly disclosed

Ninja Foodi XL Air Fry Oven DT200 - $359.10 + Delivery ($0 with OnePass) @ Catch AU

Keep missing out on the good deals for this Air fryer, this seems like a reasonable good enough deal to post.. although that being said. I will HODL until Black Friday is in full swing and hedge my bet that it will be a little cheaper still.

Note, Catch is showing only 1 day left on the deal.

Lets hope the new Trump Administration follows through with it's proposed 60% tax on Chinese goods to the USA because it will heavily press China to slash the costs of products headed to Aus- such as what's happened in the recent Chinese EV market.
Realistically I think these units would be fairly priced at around $1450 since that's a fair conversion for what the Yanks are paying in equivalent USD on their recent sales.

Monetary policy really needs to tighten in Japan

Last month, returning to Japan for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic, I was struck by how significantly prices had increased. In February 2020, a simple lunch in downtown Tokyo cost about JP¥1,000, then the equivalent of about $10 (324 baht); today, it costs more like JP¥2,000. To some extent, this mirrors the experience in the US, where, even as inflation moderates, prices...

Ralph Fiennes is Odysseus in 'The Return' Trailer with Juliette Binoche

"If I were free, I'd fight for what was mine. I'd fight for my people." Bleecker Street FIlms has revealed an official trailer for The Return, a brand new take on the The Odyssey story from Italian filmmaker Uberto Pasolini. This film skipped Venice and ended up premiering at the Toronto & Chicago Film Festivals this fall, with a US release now set for December in theaters. Based on the classic story written by Homer. After 20 years Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, where he finds his wife held prisoner by suitors vying to be king and his son facing death at their hands. To win back his family and all he has lost, Odysseus must rediscover his strength and fight back. The film reunites actors Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche 30 years after their Academy Award winning triumph in The English Patient. The cast also includes Charlie Plummer, Marwan Kenzari, Claudio Santamaria, and Angela Molina. This looks damn good! Playing the story of Odysseus more as a tale of revenge, once he returns home and has to reclaim his own home against those who tried to take it from him. I stand with Odysseus! Go kick some ass Ralph […]

Second Trailer for '2073' Doc About Fighting to Stop Climate Change

"We are worth more when we are addicted, polarized, and misinformed... than we are if we are living, breathing, free citizens." Neon revealed a second trailer for 2073, a frightening doc about climate change and the destructive future we're headed towards. Now set for a release in December in the US. It's the latest documentary film from Oscar-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia, known for Senna, Amy, Diego Maradona, and others. 2073 is a hybrid doc - featuring a live-action sci-fi segment starring Samantha Morton living in a dystopian future ruined by climate change & authoritarianism (the year 2073); along with doc segments showing how we could get there, giving clear-eyed facts about the rise of right-wing authoritarianism and libertarianism worldwide – which won't stop climate change. "Through a genre-busting mix of archive and drama Ghost witnesses the terrifying threats facing us: a Democratic recession, the rise of neo-fascism, the Climate Disaster and the intrusion of surveillance technology. This is not science fiction. This is happening now." This premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival - where I saw it. Alas despite being a good idea, the film is rather boring and won't have much of an impact. Sadly. Though we do […]
