Submission + - Shopping app Temu is âoedangerous malware" (arstechnica.com) 1

Z00L00K writes: Temuâ"the Chinese shopping app that has rapidly grown so popular in the US that even Amazon is reportedly trying to copy itâ"is "dangerous malware" that's secretly monetizing a broad swath of unauthorized user data, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin alleged in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Griffin cited research and media reports exposing Temu's allegedly nefarious design, which "purposely" allows Temu to "gain unrestricted access to a user's phone operating system, including, but not limited to, a user's camera, specific location, contacts, text messages, documents, and other applications."

Comment the longest lived, not quite personal (Score 1) 6

1) The longest lived was a PDP11/34A. Made in the late 70s or early 80s, it was still running when I sold it in 2005. Did a couple of component-level repairs, and I reckon there's every chance that it still runs today. Not sure if it counts as "personal" though. I have a polycarbonate Macbook from 2007 still going strong, so I guess that makes the answer "Apple". 2) Self-built. From pretty mainstream components, Ryzen 5600X, Asus motherboard. It should last me at least 10 years, with maybe a GPU upgrade along the way.
