Genuine question for any infosec news writers out there (thinking of @happygeek et al) .. how do you find out about academic papers describing vulnerabilities or vulnerability classes (like SLAP/FLOP etc) before they hit the news, in order to write about them?

I've spent months wondering what the occasional, quiet, distant electronic 'chirping' I can hear is.. I thought maybe a distant car, far off house alarm or some industrial thing nearby.. Turns out it's the UPS in my own attic complaining the battery has failed. 🤦‍♂️

Landlord owns a Ferrari and he let me drive it one day. Got a photo of me standing next to it and driving it. Put the photos on my Hinge profile and I got 30 likes in a week from people all out of my league and would never look my way without the Ferrari. I need to get rich.

A lucky win on eBay picked up - BBC Master 128 with a Phillips CM8833 monitor, 5 1/4" drive and a pile of software.. now to get it cleaned up and de-RIFA'd before they can let out the magic smoke!

Do I know any ARM64 Windows developers? Anyone intimately familiar with CHPE x86 emulation on Windows/ARM? I have questions I can't seem to find the answers for that I think ought to have obvious answers..
