The Rise of the US Military’s Clandestine Foreign War Apparatus

wired.com Seth Harp 2025-12-01 03:00:00

The 2020s are shaping up to be one of the most violent decades in modern history, with American-sponsored proxy conflicts and shadow wars smoldering all over the world, from Ukraine to Yemen to Gaza. The United States enables and prolongs these wars not by sending troops to fight in them, but by trafficking arms to the belligerents, providing intelligence to its favored proxies, and using covert operations, especially assassinations, to shape geopolitical conditions. At the forefront of these cl

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has been asked to remove misleading ads that could lead consumers to believe its plans are much cheaper than the competition’s. T-Mobile disagrees with the ruling, but said it would remove the ads in question. Verizon brought the complaint against T-Mobile’s “Switch and Save” ads, which promise 20% savings compared to “the other big guys.” An advertising watchdog has asked T-Mobile to take down its “Switch and Save” ads, ruling that the price com

Engineering Breakthrough Opens Door to Cheap Hydrogen Power

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-02 02:45:37

As an alternative to fossil fuel combustion, hydrogen fuel cells hold tremendous promise. But they’re also notoriously difficult and expensive to manage, which largely explains why we don’t see them everywhere (or anywhere, for that matter, except for a few initiatives that are “exploring” their efficiency). But that may soon change. In a Nature Materials paper published August 8, researchers announced the development of a new type of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that addresses an underlying pr

These are my favorite Switch 2 accessories

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-02 06:30:25

The Switch 2 can be enjoyed right out of the box, but it’s even better with the right accessories. Some of these add-ons are more crucial than others, especially if you’re deciding what to buy early on. For example, a case and a screen protector can keep your console safe from scuffs, scratches, and drops, so both are what I’d consider to be essential. On the other hand, a microSD Express card lets you add even more digital games to your library, although the console’s somewhat generous 256GB o

Cutting Through the Security Noise: How XDR helps Teams Focus on Real Threats

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a modern security technology designed primarily as a Security Operations Centre (SOC) enabler tool. It addresses the complexities and challenges faced by security teams in today’s evolving threat landscape. The core idea behind XDR is to take challenging incident response processes and make security analysts more effective, even at more junior levels. The term XDR itself has emerged over the last few years and can be seen as somewhat nebulous, with diffe
