Monarch Butterflies Are Losing Their Navigational Abilities. You Can Guess Why

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-26 22:00:43

Each fall, millions of eastern North American monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles south to the mountains of central Mexico, then return to their northern range in the spring. These winged insects rely on a complex navigation system to go to and from their overwintering sites, and new research suggests climate change may be messing with it. Monarch butterflies have two distinct biological “compasses.” The primary one infers direction based on their circadian rhythm and the position of

Norton VPN review: A VPN that fails to meet Norton's standards

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-27 03:00:37

One thing I need to make clear right from the start: this is a review of Norton VPN (formerly Norton Secure VPN, and briefly Norton Ultra VPN) as a standalone app, not of the VPN feature in the Norton 360 package. They're similar, but Norton VPN has a few more features, including the ability to choose cities as server locations in countries with more than one option. I'll state my opinion up front. Norton VPN isn't a bad service, but it's not good enough to get ahead of its direct competitors.

Portable air conditioners have a lot going for them. They're renter-friendly, easy to install and perfect for cooling stubborn hot spots. They also shine in spaces where narrow windows can't fit a traditional unit. I've had mine for a year, and it's easily one of the best upgrades for my sweltering home office — keeping me cool, comfortable and productive no matter how high the temperature climbs.

NASA has sparked a race to develop the data pipeline to Mars

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-11-27 03:26:37

For decades, NASA built and flew its own relay orbiters and spacecraft to ferry valuable data back to Earth. Now the agency is shifting to buying connectivity as a service, much like it does for launch and astronaut transport. That pivot has sparked a race, with major contenders pitching ways to keep Mars missions online. What’s at stake isn’t a single contract: it’s the data pipe to Mars. This new approach, which will mix NASA assets and commercial infrastructure, would gradually replace the

Spike in Fortinet VPN brute-force attacks raises zero-day concerns

A massive spike in brute-force attacks targeted Fortinet SSL VPNs earlier this month, followed by a switch to FortiManager, marked a deliberate shift in targeting that has historically preceded new vulnerability disclosures. The campaign, detected by threat monitoring platform GreyNoise, manifested in two waves, on August 3 and August 5, with the second wave pivoting to FortiManager targeting with a different TCP signature.

Here’s how Google Find Hub satellite location sharing is going to work (APK teardown)

TL;DR Google announced back in May that the newly renamed Find Hub would be adding support for satellite-based location sharing. That’s still not here yet, but a recent app update reveals text strings that hint at how things will work. Users will be able to share their location once every 15 minutes, with a daily limit on maximum shares. Satellite support is changing the rules of the game when it comes to mobile connectivity, and we are still right now only in the early days of its evolution.

Attached to their arm can be any number of drawing instruments, from pens to pencils, brushes to pastels, and even drill bits to scratch glass.
