SecurityAffairs: Experts devise an exploit for Apple iOS 16 that relies on fake Airplane Mode https://securityaffairs.com/149597/mobile-2/airplane-mode-apple-ios-16-exploit.html #informationsecuritynews #ITInformationSecurity #PierluigiPaganini #SecurityAffairs #BreakingNews #AirPlaneMode #SecurityNews #hackingnews #AppleiOS #Hacking #Mobile

In the waiting room at my medical appointment, I tried to play #7LittleWords on my phone. I was into it some years ago, and purchased a score of game packs, which I finished, but which all reset to unplayed when I installed the app on my latest phone. So, fine: it's been years, I don't remember the answers, I'll play them again.

The packs are on my #phone, and should be playable in #AirplaneMode, but apparently no more. So I played #ClassicWords, which still works when offline, though it can't display definitions for each turn. These are my letters before my second turn.

Have boarded my flight that should have left 4 hours ago.
I've never been so happy to turn on #AirplaneMode .

Within the European Union, airlines will be able to install the latest 5G technology on their aircraft, allowing passengers to use their smartphones and other connected devices just as they do on the ground.

If you stay in the #airplanemode lavatory too long an FA starts knocking on the door asking if you're okay, then becoming more insistent, saying you need to return to your seat. After a minute or so of that, the lavatory simply fades to black and you find yourself back in your seat.

Finished up all the tissues and paper towels, toilet still flushes. Sink does not flood, at some point 3/4 of the way up it simply does not fill any farther. #airplanemode

Update: the paper towels have not been going into the toilet but landing on top of an invisible shield aligned with the seat. The paper towels do run out, just like in real life. #AirplaneMode

In the #AirplaneMode simulated lavatory, trying to see if I can flood the sink and clog the toilet

The #airplanemode in-game cellphone includes this ASMR podcast. Supposedly there's a Steam achievement badge for listening to it for 45 mins straight but it's only 25 mins long? So I kept it running on a loop twice, still didn't get the badge. :(

umm excuse me? your drink has tipped over? your drink? #airplanemode

Bennet Foddy (of QWOP fame) is on here. He's also the voice of the pilot over the PA. #airplanemode

lol you can use the motion sickness bag (no visible chunks, just a gross coughing sound) #airplanemode

Back on the game #AirplaneMode and I found when the drink order prompt appears on everyone's touchscreen you can press your seatmates' touchscreen -- but it just brings up a menu on your own screen. They don't react.

#AirplaneMode inflight entertainment selection: couple old movies about flying, plus an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. (Funny thing about this: my kid always wants to watch the cartoon. I've told him okay, I can pull it up on YouTube, but no, he specifically wants to watch it in the game on the little simulated passenger touchscreen.)

the #airplanemode pen won't let me order dinner on the touchscreen, i am going to miss the inflight meal, the FA will offer me food and look confusedly at me as the ballpoint pen hovering in front of me says NO

boo #airplanemode won't even let me vandalize the bulkhead (apparently you can scribble in the inflight magazine but I can't pick that up now with the pen active)
