August 22, 2025 As programmers we spend a lot of time shuttling data back and forth between different systems and transforming it from one format to another. Sometimes it gets pretty miserable! Let’s say you’re making a fancy task tracking app. Tasks belong to projects, and on the projects page, you want to show how many tasks are in each project. Maybe you start with a little SQL that you call from your “get info about project” view model code: async function getTaskCountForProject ( project

How the phishing attacks work Initial reports of attempted attacks have already been seen on Reddit, which are likely related to the data leak. Users describe how alleged Google employees have contacted them by phone to inform them of a security breach in their accounts. In these scam attempts, attackers are trying to take over Gmail accounts by triggering alleged “account resets” and then intercepting passwords to subsequently lock out the account holders.

Do you have a package coming your way from overseas? (I do, it’s a gift, and I’m very annoyed.) Hopefully it’s not urgent, because it’s going to be a minute before that thing gets to our shores. Questions surrounding the Trump administration’s ongoing tariff regime, including a policy to end an exemption from taxing small packages, have resulted in postal services across the world simply choosing not to ship to the United States until things get sorted out, according to Bloomberg.

Got a scary T-Mobile text about your account? Here’s what it really means

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile sent a text about “Authorized Users” that some customers mistook as a fraud warning. It was confirmed to be a mass informational campaign, not an unauthorized purchase attempt. It’s not the first eyebrow-raising SMS from the carrier this month. If you’re on T-Mobile, you might be starting to get a bit concerned about the carrier’s comms strategy.

A software developer has been sentenced to four years in prison for sabotaging his ex-employer's Windows network with custom malware and a kill switch that locked out employees when his account was disabled.

Africa Is Buying a Record Number of Chinese Solar Panels

wired.com Zeyi Yang 2025-11-08 09:00:00

While overall sales to African countries are still small compared to these traditional export markets, the Global South appears to be at a turning point in how it thinks about energy. For decades, energy-starved countries largely had one default option when they wanted to add new power supply: import coal and gas. Now, for the first time, solar energy is emerging as the cheaper and greener way forward, so there’s no need to sacrifice the environment for development. Familiar Story What’s happe
