PSA: a recently-fixed image parsing vulnerability in Chrome (and things that use Chrome, such as Electron apps) is being actively exploited in the wild. install your updates! (nvd.nist.gov)

Chrome was updated September 11

Electron updated September 12

Matrix Element Desktop updated September 15, without a changelog or advisory. (The Element update on September 13 did not include the updated electron with the fix; today's update does, according to their announcement on Matrix.)

Many/most electron apps don't receive timely security updates, so if you don't want arbitrary images to be able to get code execution you might want to stop using them.

Huh didn't realize that would've come with 32 bit so recently. I ran a z2 force up until about 2 years ago when it stopped holding a charge. Those old Motorolas were great phones, but I haven't found anything in their recent line that interested me. Ended up going with a Pixel 6 and then a 7 pro, my dad needed an update from his z2 force and it was cheaper if I just gave him mine and upgraded. Haven't had any issues with the pixels, except for my sister dropping her 2xl and breaking the screen. Anything you get eventually though get unlocked. Tensor has a bunch of custom roms now so anything you upgrade will last for a while.

Well this was a 150 € phone when new so that's a pretty different category than what you're looking at. I wouldn't be surprised if 32b was still a thing in the cheap Chinese phones.

If I ever get a chance to replace it, it will be extremely tough because it has a bunch of things which are indispensable for me that newer models simply don't have.
