Anyone who’s

Here’s what you’ll pay for ANBERNIC’s latest handheld console when sales open this Friday

Wanted to spy on my dog, ended up spying on TP-Link

Wanted to spy on my dog, ended up spying on TP-Link I recently bought a cheap Tapo indoor camera to see what my dog gets up to when I am out of the house. What actually followed? I ended up reverse-engineering onboarding flows, decompiling an APK, MITMing TLS sessions, and writing cryptographic scripts. My main motivation for this project really stemmed from the fact that the camera annoyed me from day one. Setting the camera up in frigate was quite painful, no one really seemed to know how t

3 Sports Documentaries You Absolutely Should Watch Right Now

There was a time in 2012 when NBA fans from all over were stricken with Linsanity. Jeremy Lin was a benchwarmer for the New York Knicks for much of that season, until he helped the team lock down a seven-game winning streak when he replaced a sidelined Carmelo Anthony in February of that year. Lin's popularity exploded, and though he was traded in the following offseason, his dazzling performance cemented a lasting legacy. Lin left the NBA in 2019 to play internationally, and he just announced

Desperate Companies Now Hiring Humans to Fix What AI Botched

For a while now, we've been seeing companies that fired a bunch of their human workers in favor of artificial intelligence move to recoup some of that flesh-and-blood labor. Now, that push has resulted in a new line of gig work: slop fixer-uppers, who get paid to improve AI-generated art, writing, and code — by making it less, well, sloppy. In an interview with NBC News, longtime freelance illustrator Lisa Carstens said fixing AI-generated logos, many of which have fuzzy lines and garbled text

Trade in War

In World War II, Britain was fighting for its survival against German aerial bombardment. Yet Britain was importing dyes from Germany at the same time. This sounds curious, to put it mildly. How can two countries at war with each other also be trading goods? Examples of this abound, actually. Britain also traded with its enemies for almost all of World War I. India and Pakistan conducted trade with each other during the First Kashmir War, from 1947 to 1949, and during the India-Pakistan War of

CEO Demands Employees Start Using AI, Fires Anyone Who Doesn't

Almost three years since the release of OpenAI's explosively popular ChatGPT, it's clear that artificial intelligence isn't exactly taking the job market by storm. Sure, AI makes a convenient cover for business executives who were already looking to downsize or outsource their labor force, but the tech's myriad hallucination issues, legal risks, and security baggage make it ill-suited to automate human jobs. That's to say nothing of the fact that 95 percent of businesses gunning for an AI overh

Have You Seen This Rare Rainbow Snake? Florida Wants to Know

Kristi Noem Wants to Spend Big Money on New Deportation Planes for ICE: Report

MSNBC Rebrands as MS NOW, but the Web Domain Is for Korean Snowmobiles

Cable news channel MSNBC is going to rebrand as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, according to a new report from the New York Times.

The Kryptos Key Is Going Up for Sale

Ever since artist James Sanborn unveiled Kryptos, an outdoor sculpture that sits at CIA headquarters, amateur and professional cryptanalysts have been feverishly attempting to crack the code hidden in its nearly 1800-character message. While they have decoded 3 of the 4 panels of ciphertext in the S-shaped copper artwork, the final panel, known as K4, still defies solution. Only one human being on Earth knows the message of K4: Sanborn. But soon someone else will join the club. Sanborn is puttin
