Anker is upgrading its global ambitions—with AI and a stair-climbing robovac system

Anker Innovations, to give it its full name, incorporates not just Anker products (now the number one mobile charging brand in the world) but also the eufy smart home range and the Soundcore series of earbuds, headphones, and speakers.

This fireside chat brings together Jason Citron, founder and former CEO of Discord, and Tade Oyerinde, founder, CEO, and chancellor of Campus and Campuswire, for a conversation about building long-ter

Critical SAP S/4HANA vulnerability now exploited in attacks

Heap-based buffer overflow in Kernel Streaming

Reading Time: 4 minutes From time to time, while digging through internals during our research, we stumble upon quirks or vulnerabilities that, although not immediately useful for operations or exploitation, are still noteworthy. Rather than letting these findings fade away, we decided to responsibly disclose them to the vendor. One such case is CVE-2025-53149, a heap-based buffer overflow in the Kernel Streaming WOW Thunk Service Driver, which Microsoft patched on August 12, 2025. The vulnera

3D QR Codes

3D QR Codes Erik Demaine & Martin Demaine, 2025 In this exhibit, we're experimenting with the limits of QR (Quick Response) codes, in particular new ways to construct QR codes from physical material. Most of our QR codes are built from several layers of material (wood, paper, or acrylic), where each layer is a single color. Building in this way has an interesting constraint: each layer must be a connected piece of material. We use a greedy algorithm to find the most white pixels that can appea

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

Motorola Razr 2025 drops back to its all-time low price of $600

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola Razr (2025) Foldable phones are still super cool little engineering feats. I still get pleasant conversations with random strangers when I use mine around town. The thing is, they have been pretty expensive until recently. The Motorola Razr 2025 is honestly the most affordable one that we would still recommend. It’s usually $699.99, but today the price is even better at $599.99, which happens to be the cheapest it has ever been. Buy the Motorola Razr 202

Amazon Finally Confirms Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’ Series

In a not-so-surprising announcement, Amazon MGM Studios has named the star of its long-gestating Tomb Raider series: Sophie Turner. The lack of shock is because Turner was known to be “nearly set” to sign on as Lara Croft, according to reports from November of last year. Those same reports noted that Turner had been chosen over the other contender, Bohemian Rhapsody‘s Lucy Boynton, but that the deal wasn’t yet official. Now, Variety confirms that not only is Turner set for the part, but also th

Major Amazon leak spoils the Philips Hue party

Advanced geothermal startups are just getting warmed up

Houston-based Fervo Energy said on Tuesday it has picked a supplier for key parts of its power plants,
