techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-12-26 09:05:34

In the summer of 2021, Dimitrios Kottas made a move that would be unfathomable to most Silicon Valley engineers: after leaving his coveted position as an engineering manager at Apple’s Special Projects Group, he packed up his life in California and moved back to Athens to start a defense company. Three and a half years later, his startup, Delian Alliance Industries, has set up solar-powered surveillance towers that monitor some of Greece’s borders around the clock and detect wildfires on remote

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software.

How attackers are still phishing "phishing-resistant" authentication

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-27 04:50:59

As awareness grows around many MFA methods being “phishable” (i.e. not phishing resistant), passwordless, FIDO2-based authentication methods (aka. passkeys) like YubiKeys, Okta FastPass, and Windows Hello are being increasingly advocated. This is a good thing. The most commonly used MFA factors (like SMS codes, push notifications, and app-based OTP) are routinely bypassed, with modern reverse-proxy “Attacker-in-the-Middle” phishing kits the most common method (and the standard choice for phishi

You should turn off this default TV setting ASAP - and why even experts recommend it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-12-27 21:30:17

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic.

EssilorLuxottica, Meta’s partner in the smart glasses market and owner of brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley, just reported stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue, driven in part by rising demand for the Ray-Ban Meta. Here’s the breakdown. In its quarterly results, EssilorLuxottica reported a 7.3% revenue increase, beating a Bloomberg-compiled analyst estimate of 5.9%.

Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update

The Pixel 6a was a widely beloved phone when it launched in 2022, offering almost all the capabilities of the more expensive Pixel 6 phones at a much lower price. Just a few years into their Pixel love affair, though, owners have been dismayed to learn that a new software update will destroy the phone's battery life. Google says the update is necessary to limit the risk of battery failure, but it would seem that in at least one case, even this heavy-handed update wasn't enough—a user has reporte

I chose an 8-bit fingerprint: it aligns nicely on a byte boundary and still keeps the false-positive rate around 3 %. The layout looked straightforward—just a byte array where the start of each bucket is calculated as bucketIdx * bucketSize . The size of each bucket is 4 slots, which is a solid choice for Cuckoo Filter. Bucket 0 3A 00 B7 F2 Bucket 1 4C 91 00 DE Bucket n AA 00
