Brother printer bug in 689 models exposes default admin passwords

A total of 689 printer models from Brother, along with 53 other models from Fujifilm, Toshiba, and Konica Minolta, come with a default administrator password that remote attackers can generate. Even worse, there is no way to fix the flaw via firmware in existing printers. The flaw, tracked under CVE-2024-51978, is part of a set of eight vulnerabilities discovered by Rapid7 researchers during a lengthy examination of Brother hardware. CVE Description Affected Service CVSS CVE-2024-51977 An unau

Amazon Sells the 2025 MacBook Air Without a Profit Margin, Now Much Cheaper Than on Apple’s Official Site

Apple stands out as one of the most premium brands, regularly launching updated versions of its popular MacBook Air. To protect its image, Apple almost never cuts prices on new models—especially right after release. However, Amazon occasionally offers major deals on Apple products, and these are worth watching for. This year, the brand-new MacBook Air 2025 with the powerful M4 chip and 256GB storage has hit an all-time low price. By combining an instant discount with a $49 coupon, the price dro

Ask HN: Anyone Using Augmented Reality, VR, Glasses, Helmets etc. in Industry?

Since Google Glass made its debut in 2012, there's been a fair amount of hype around augmented reality and related tech coming into its own in industry, presumably enhancing worker productivity and capabilities. But I've heard and seen so little use in any industries. I would have thought at a minimum that having access to hands-free information retrieval (e.g. blueprints, instructions, notes, etc), video chat and calls for point-of-view sharing, etc would be quite useful for a number of indust

Eureka E20 Plus Robot Vac and Mop Is Even Cheaper With Amazon’s Coupon Box for Early Prime Day

What are the difference between a good robot vacuum and a great one? It’s all about which ones make you do less work, and not just the actual act of pushing a manual vacuum. The Eureka E20 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, which is on sale at Amazon right now, takes so much work off your plate that it’ll make you feel downright lazy. Which, yeah, is pretty great.

What happens to old iPhones in 2025? CIRP says more people are selling them

A few days ago, CIRP published a study showing what leads people to upgrade their iPhones and how Apple Intelligence isn’t exactly it. Now, CIRP is back with a follow-up question: What happens to those old iPhones once users finally make the leap to a new model? The used iPhone market is stronger than ever According to CIRP’s latest data, nearly half of iPhone buyers (49%) in the past year either traded in or sold their previous device. That’s a meaningful jump from 43% in 2020, and reflects h

Russia frees REvil hackers after sentencing

Four members of the REvil ransomware group have been released from custody despite pleading guilty to fraud and malware distribution charges. The Dzerzhinsky Court of St. Petersburg allowed Roman Muromsky, Andrei Bessonov, Mikhail Golovachuk, and Dmitry Korotaev to walk free after sentencing them to five years in prison on Monday, ruling that the gang members had spent enough time in a Russian detention center while awaiting trial. The case is unrelated to the prolific and high-profile ransomwa

We’re on the eve of a new Marvel show, and the House of Mouse has started allowing press who’ve seen all six episodes of Ironheart to share how they think. While the early verdicts swing pretty wildly between positive and mild shrugs at best, there’s also a lot of hints that the series’ back half includes a pretty wild climax. While there does seem to be a wide range of opinions, it seems like most of whether or not Ironheart lands with people clicks with its flow, with many critics pointing to

Apple’s Liquid Glass interface improves with release of iOS 26 Beta 2

With Monday’s release of iOS 26 Beta 2, Apple has fixed one of the more glaring issues with Liquid Glass, its divisive new user interface design for the iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices, announced earlier this month at its WWDC 2025. The refreshed user interface modernizes the operating system’s look and feel with a design system inspired by the optical qualities of glass, including the way it refracts light and its translucency. However, early iOS 26 testers, somewhat unfairly, were quic

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter. I thought it would be a good idea to compare this lens to the Galaxy S23 Ultr
