Pizza Pizza and Crave offer a tasty deal for pizza and TV lovers

Pizza Pizza and Crave have teamed up again to offer the Crave Combo until January 7, 2024. The Crave Combo includes a large pizza with three toppings, three drinks, and two months of free access to Crave Basic. You can order the Crave Combo online or at any Pizza Pizza location. Pricing might vary, but Canadify's Bill Taylor noted that it costs $16.99 in his area.

To redeem your two months of Crave Basic, go to crave.ca/redeem and enter the promo code you received with your order before February 2, 2024. You will need a valid credit card to sign up or re-subscribe to Crave. After two months, your subscription will automatically renew at $14.99 per month plus taxes (unless you cancel or change it at crave.ca). However, if you are getting a free Crave Basic subscription, that's supposed to just cost $9.99 per month. The $14.99 charge should be Crave's Standard tier. It's unclear if Pizza Pizza just made an error in this regard.

Apple released software updates for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS today to fix two critical security vulnerabilities. The company said the bugs were being exploited in the wild. “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.7.1,” the company said about both flaws in its security reports. The updates are available for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) researcher Clément Lecigne discovered and reported both exploits. Bleeping Computer reported that Google TAG often finds and reveals zero-day bugs targeting high-risk people, such as politicians, journalists, and dissidents. Apple did not share any details about the attacks using the flaws.
