CISA warns hackers are actively exploiting critical ‘Citrix Bleed 2’ security flaw

Trump Wants to Shut Down Several Perfectly Good Spacecraft Orbiting Mars for No Reason

The scientific community was appalled by the news that president Donald Trump's administration was looking to deal a devastating blow to NASA's science budget. In its 2026 budget request, released last month, the White House announced it was looking to more cut funding for NASA's science directorate by more than half, leading to overwhelming criticism from the scientific community, as well as from both Republican and Democrat lawmakers. The "skinny" budget calls to end operations of several sp

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Android is improving its chat bubble feature on large screen devices, pinning conversations to a new, more accessible “bubble bar” at the bottom corner.

The day someone created 184 billion Bitcoin (2020)

Democrats and Republicans Unite in Last-Ditch Effort to Save NASA

Earlier this year, the Trump administration revealed its proposed 2026 budget for NASA, a horrifying plan to chop up dozens of important science missions alongside thousands of jobs.
