Trump-Appointed Judge Kills Rule to Remove All Medical Debt From Credit Reports

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-08-31 06:55:36

Yet another Biden-era reform intended to make life easier for some Americans has been quashed. Late last week, a Trump-appointed federal judge struck down a rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that would have removed all medical debt from being included in people’s credit reports. Judge Sean Jordan of the U.S. District Court of Texas’ Eastern District issued the decision Friday, declaring that the CFPB’s rule surpassed the limits of its authority. The agency previously state

Our 11 Favorite Air Quality Monitors We’ve Tried (2025)

In the past five years, I’ve tested dozens of indoor air-quality monitors but have relied on my iPhone’s Weather app to check outdoor air quality. On questionable days that might include haze or the smell of wildfire, I’ll check the government’s free AirNow website, where I’ll plug in my zip code and see its easy-to-read air quality meter. With the increasing wildfire activity from coast to coast, however, I realized it was time to test an outdoor air-quality monitor. The Zen is larger than the

Hackers exploit a blind spot by hiding malware inside DNS records

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-01 03:15:04

Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software. That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man

There could be “dark main sequence” stars at the galactic center

For a star, its initial mass is everything. It determines how quickly it burns through its hydrogen and how it will evolve once it starts fusing heavier elements. It's so well understood that scientists have devised a "main sequence" that acts a bit like a periodic table for stars, correlating their mass and age with their properties. The main sequence, however, is based on an assumption that's almost always true: All of the energy involved comes from the gravity-driven fusion of lighter elemen

Medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer twice made references to an early work featuring a Germanic mythological character named Wade. Only three lines survive, discovered buried in a sermon by a late 19th century scholar. There has been much debate over how to translate those fragments ever since, and whether the long-lost work was a monster-filled epic or a chivalric romance.
