The disaster response team of the future could be made up of an army of cheery orange robots, according to Honda. The company has unveiled a working prototype of its E2-DR disaster response robot -- first revealed in an R&D paper in 2015 -- and it can do a lot. At 1.68 meters high and weighing in at 85 kilograms, E2-DR can walk, step over objects, climb stairs and ladders, slink through narrow spaces and traverse piles of debris. It can even tolerate rain for 20 straight minutes, which is more than a lot of actual people can. To keep E2-DR's size and weight to a minimum, Honda swapped out traditional cables for rigorously-tested optical fibers. It's powered by a 1000-Wh lithium-ion battery which provides 90 minutes of juice, plus an Intel Core-i7 CPU, and is kept cool by air ducts and internal fans within its torso. All of its joints are fashioned in a labyrinth structure, keeping contaminants at bay. Its hands are equipped with cameras and 3D sensors, but they're...

We are yet to have confirmation that someone with the relevant skillset is actually working on adapting Ian Beer’s exploit into a workable consumer jailbreak for iOS 10.3.2, but we are seeing more information about the underlying vulnerabilities being pushed out into the public domain. Now a new YouTube video published by Billy Ellis is not only referencing the vulnerabilities and triple_fetch toolkit released by Ian, but is also giving additional details on how exactly it works. The first thing highlighted in the video is the fact that this particular bug, or set of bugs, has already been patched with the release of iOS 10.3.3, which Apple issued relatively recently. The published bugs by Ian are userland-based and are only compatible with iOS 10.0 through iOS 10.3.2, which means that anyone currently running iOS 10.3.3 needs to downgrade immediately if they plan on waiting for these vulnerabilities to materialize into a jailbreak in the future. As Apple is still signing iOS 10....
