The Mysterious Shortwave Radio Station Stoking US-Russia Nuclear Fears

wired.com Justin Ling 2025-11-08 22:00:00

Shortly after US president Donald Trump hung up a call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin this spring, an obscure shortwave radio channel, broadcasting from a military base somewhere in Russia, sprang to life. Through a fog of static, at 4625 kHz on the shortwave dial, a man’s voice spoke in monotone: “Nikolai, Zhenya, Tatiana, Ivan.” He repeats the message—spelled out in the Russian phonetic alphabet—followed by a series of numbers and letters. The whole message reads: “NZhTI 01263 BOLTANKA 4430 952

Mac mini vs Mac Studio: For under $900 right now, which one should you pick up?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-08 17:46:22

Apple has three standalone Mac desktops – the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. Mac Pro isn’t exactly worth talking about, so we’ll focus on the former two. While these computers are typically priced quite far apart ($599 vs $1999), the Mac Studio is a bit older – and Amazon has an incredible deal on the one generation old M2 Max model. We’ll be comparing the two, and showing you which computer is the best bang for your buck at this price point. Right now, Amazon has the M2 Max Mac Studio on

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Key takeaways The ability to switch quickly and seamlessly across an unlimited number of Apple devices is still the best feature of the AirPods Max.

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.

My ZIP isn't your ZIP: Identifying and exploiting semantic gaps between parsers

news.ycombinator.com Yufan You 2025-11-04 12:58:44

ZIP is one of the most popular archive formats. It is used not only as archive files, but also as the container for other file formats, including office documents, Android applications, Java archives, and many more. Despite its ubiquity, the ZIP file format specification is imprecisely specified, posing the risk of semantic gaps between implementations that can be exploited by attackers. While prior research has reported individual such vulnerabilities, there is a lack of systematic studies for

Scientists Detect Precise Origin of Mysterious Signal From Deep Space

For almost two decades, astronomers have been trying in vain to explain extremely bright flashes of radio bursts emanating from deep space. Despite only lighting up for a tiny fraction of a second, these fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been known to release as much energy as the Sun puts out in an entire year. Now, in what's being called a "turning point," an international team of researchers has traced back the location of the origin of one of the brightest FRBs ever detected, allowing them to
