How to turn on Android's Private DNS mode - and why it's an absolute must for security

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time at tech titans' dinner

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-07 02:22:00

What just happened? Given that there was a time when Microsoft called Linux a "cancer," it's little surprise that the Redmond firm's co-founder and long-time boss Bill Gates had never met Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel. But that changed recently when the two attended a dinner, and it appears to have gone well. Microsoft chief technical officer Mark Russinovich posted evidence of the historic dinner in a LinkedIn post. Dave Cutler, the legendary programmer and lead architect of the

ExpressVPN vs. Surfshark: Two of CNET’s Favorite VPNs Compared

ExpressVPN and Surfshark are two heavyweights and sit comfortably among CNET’s top VPN picks thanks to their exceptional all-around performance and privacy protections. I use both ExpressVPN and Surfshark regularly and can tell you that each is excellent at what it does -- but also that each one does things very differently. That’s good, because there are distinctions between ExpressVPN and Surfshark that can make it easier to decide between the two based on your specific needs. In a perfect wor

Homotopy Equivalences

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-04 10:56:06

Previously: Fibrations and Cofibrations. In topology, we say that two shapes are the same if there is a homeomorphism– an invertible continuous map– between them. Continuity means that nothing is broken and nothing is glued together. This is how we can turn a coffe cup into a torus. A homeomorphism, however, won’t let us shrink a torus to a circle. So if we are only interested in how many holes the shapes have, we have to relax our notion of equivalence. Let’s go back to the definition of home

Taiwan Is Rushing to Make Its Own Drones Before It's Too Late

In the span of just a few years, drones have become instrumental in warfare.

For the last year or so, astronomers and sky lovers have been waiting for the explosion of T Coronae Borealis. The system is a notorious recurring nova, which is expected to go any moment now, but still has not. So, while astronomy can be a cruel mistress, making us wait, it can also be a generous mistress since there is also a brand new and unexpected nova in the night sky that you can see.

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA.
