Embrace what may be the most important green technology
ever. It could save us all



Let’s focus for a moment on technology. Specifically, what might be the most important environmental technology ever developed: precision fermentation.
Precision fermentation is a refined form of brewing, a means of multiplying microbes to create specific products. It has been used for many years to produce drugs and food additives. But now, in several labs and a few factories, scientists are developing what could be a new generation of staple foods. The developments I find most interesting use no agricultural raw material.

The microbes they breed feed on hydrogen or methanol – which can be made with renewable electricity – combined with water, carbon dioxide and a very small amount of fertilizer. They produce a flour that contains roughly 60% protein, a much higher concentration than any major crop can achieve (soy beans contain 37%, chick peas, 20%). When they are bred to produce specific proteins and fats, they can create much better replacements than plant products for meat, fish, milk and eggs. And they have the potential to do two astonishing things.

(1º§)According to hacking news website GBHackers, two bugs discovered by researchers could let attackers take control of people's accounts. WhatsApp has fixed the two "critical" security threats, which affect both the Android and iOS versions of the chat app.

(2º§)However, if you've not updated to the latest version of the app, you are still vulnerable. "Both vulnerabilities are marked under 'critical' severity ... and were found by the WhatsApp internal security team," GBHackers wrote.

(3º§)They added that hackers could exploit the flaws to hack your device using a dodgy video file or when on a video call. Once they've gained access to your phone, they could launch malware, steal sensitive data or even take control of the device.

(4º§)WhatsApp confirmed that it had fixed the bugs in an alert on its website. It named them CVE-2022-36934 and CVE-2022-27492.

(5º§)Details on the vulnerabilities are scarce in order to not give too much information away to crooks before users have updated. However, WhatsApp said that the exploitation of CVE-2022-36934 "could result in remote code execution in an established video call." CVE-2022-27492, on the other hand, "could have caused remote code execution when receiving a crafted video file."

(6º§)To protect yourself, make sure you're using the latest version of WhatsApp. To update your iPhone go to the Settings app and then press General.

(7º§)The next step is to select Software Update and your device should then meet the new requirements. If you use an Android, open Settings and select About Phone.

(8º§)Then press Check for Updates and if an update is available, a button will appear which says Update. After selecting Install Now, Reboot, or Install System Software, you should be good to go.
