Claude might be my new favorite AI tool for Android - here's why

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-07 06:52:34

Anthropic / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I've run the gamut of apps on Android, including those created to serve as an AI assistant or answer machine (not to be mistaken for the old-school answering machine). It seems every take on mobile AI has yet to satisfy me. Nevertheless, I continue searching for the one app that has exactly what I need. I think I've found it, and its name is Claude.

Exploring the Complexity of Distributed Consensus Algorithms in Blockchain

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2026-02-07 10:00:45

Consensus in blockchain isn’t just a technical problem—it’s an intellectual minefield. You’ve got decentralized nodes spread across the globe, each operating under different assumptions, with varying latencies, incentives, and potential motivations, and yet they’re all expected to come to the same conclusion about the state of a distributed ledger. No central authority, no fallback mechanisms, no easy resets. Just code, cryptography, and coordination dancing on the edge of chaos. It’s beautiful

The MFA You Trust Is Lying to You – and Here's How Attackers Exploit It

Still getting login codes via text or authenticator apps? You’re not alone—and that’s a big problem. What used to feel like a smart security layer is now one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access to your accounts. First we were told to use SMS for MFA. Then we were told: “Don’t use SMS for MFA, use an authenticator app instead.” And while that may seem like a step forward, it’s still fundamentally flawed.
