news.ycombinator.com Andy Greenberg 2026-01-23 12:47:26

A couple of years ago, a curious, then-16-year-old hacker named Reynaldo Vasquez-Garcia was on his laptop at his Portland-area high school, seeing what computer systems he could connect to via the Wi-Fi—“using the school network as a lab,” as he puts it—when he spotted a handful of mysterious devices with the identifier “IPVideo Corporation.” After a closer look and some googling, Garcia figured out that a company by that name was a subsidiary of Motorola, and the devices he’d found in his scho

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-01-23 22:35:30

Good news, everyone! Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have coined a new term to describe our brains being dumb. In a recent study, they provide evidence for a distinct but common kind of cognitive bias—one that makes us reluctant to take the easier path in life if it means retracing our steps. The researchers have named the bias the “doubling-back aversion.” In several experiments, they found that people often refuse to choose a more efficient solution or route if it requir

Government's Intel intervention is 'essential' for national security, tech analyst says

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2026-01-24 03:43:39

A government intervention in struggling chipmaker Intel is "essential" for the sake of national security, analyst Gil Luria said Friday, following a report that the Trump administration is weighing taking a stake in the company. "We're all capitalists," Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, said in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box." "We don't want government to intervene and own private enterprise, but this is national security." Bloomberg reported Thursday that the Trump ad

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-24 08:25:52

Archaeologists in Brunswick County, North Carolina, have discovered four shipwrecks in just two months. One could be La Fortuna, a Spanish ship destroyed in September 1748, during King George’s War. The researchers found the wrecks and a number of colonial waterfront features in May and June at the Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site (BTFA), the former location of a pre-Revolutionary port and later a Civil War Confederate fort.

I wanted to love Sony’s Xperia 1 VII, but its outdated priorities made that impossible

Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII packs some of the most powerful photo and video features on the market into a robust build that finally sees a long-term update pledge to match. Sadly, the camera quality doesn't always live up to the promise, and it struggles to stand out on any other merits. It'll delight a niche audience, but it's far too average for such a high asking price for everyone else. It’s been a little while since a Sony phone passed my desk, so I was chomping at the bit to g
