    María Soledad Calle, a La Cámpora representative and UOM unionist, purchased an apartment at San José 1111 in Buenos Aires, just below where former president Cristina Kirchner is serving her house arrest. The deal was made for $189,000 two months after Kirchner's conviction in the Vialidad case. Calle also bought a BMW M135 X Drive and founded a company managing UOM contributions.

    AliExpress Secretly Tracks Users via Audio Fingerprinting

    E-commerce giant AliExpress has been caught monitoring users through a unique method of audio fingerprinting. The company uses silent audio signals generated by code running on its webpages to track users without relying on traditional browser cookies. This method allows tracking even when cookies are deleted or blocked. The issue was discovered when a developer's Bluetooth headphones refused to transfer audio connection while AliExpress was open. Brave browser revealed that AliExpress was maintaining access to the computer's audio-processing system without producing audible sound. The scripts allegedly used the browser's Web Audio API to process signals at zero volume, creating a unique identifier for devices based on how they handle these signals.
