Trump’s protest threats raise surveillance alarms around his military parade

President Donald Trump’s warning that protesters of Saturday’s US military parade in Washington, DC, will be met with “very heavy force” threatens to chill speech and underscores the need for protesters to take precautions around digital surveillance, privacy advocates tell The Verge. In remarks from the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump did not distinguish between peaceful and non-peaceful protesters. “For those people who want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force,” Trump said.

Inside a Dark Adtech Empire Fed by Fake CAPTCHAs

Late last year, security researchers made a startling discovery: Kremlin-backed disinformation campaigns were bypassing moderation on social media platforms by leveraging the same malicious advertising technology that powers a sprawling ecosystem of online hucksters and website hackers. A new report on the fallout from that investigation finds this dark ad tech industry is far more resilient and incestuous than previously known. In November 2024, researchers at the security firm Qurium publishe

Google won’t be showing the Pixel 10 to Superfans this month, after all

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google invited Pixel Superfans to apply for a chance to experience “pre-release Pixel devices” at a June 27 event. The company is now telling them that due to “unforeseen circumstances” it’s planning a September 4 event. It’s unclear if release plans have been affected any, but the last leak we’ve seen points to a mid-August launch. Google’s Pixel 10 smartphones are on their way, and other than feeling a wee bit nervous about Pixel batteries in genera

If you’ve been on social media lately, you might’ve seen the unsettling AI slop videos showing AI-generated people in wild scenarios or just speaking a bunch of nonsense.

How Steve Jobs Wrote the Greatest Commencement Speech Ever

In early June 2005, Steve Jobs emailed his friend Michael Hawley a draft of a speech he had agreed to deliver to Stanford University’s graduating class in a few days. “It’s embarrassing,” he wrote. “I'm just not good at this sort of speech. I never do it. I'll send you something, but please don't puke.” The notes that he sent contained the bones of what would become one of the most famous commencement addresses of all time. It has been viewed over 120 million times and is quoted to this day. Pr

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office. But both Sunshine and Event Horizon have since e

Apple announcing Android features years after Google shipped them is a tale as old as time, but that doesn’t make it any less fun to point out whenever it happens.

Electric Cooler vs. Ice Cooler: I Went Camping With Both to See Which Is Better

I've observed that the electrification of any product brings with it a higher price for interested buyers. Case in point, everything from cars to bikes to coolers, once electrified, costs a lot more than their legacy counterparts. With that said, the benefits of a tool powered by electricity can't be understated. With that said, if you're planning camping trips this summer and need a new cooler, I've set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see ho

Becoming an AI-Native Engineer

Posted on June 10, 2025 I’m confident I’m not alone in saying I’ve spent a lot of time over the past couple of years thinking about AI as an engineer / developer and what it means for our field and for our careers. For a long time, software engineering felt like a safe bet. After all, how could we be automated away when we’re the ones writing the automation? Or so we thought. Like many, I’ve run the full gamut of emotions on the topic: excitement, uncertainty, fear, frustration, more excitemen

US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists

ROME (AP) — Spyware from a U.S.-backed Israeli company was used to target the phones of at least three prominent journalists in Europe, two of whom are editors at an investigative news site in Italy, according to digital researchers at Citizen Lab, citing new forensic evidence of the attacks. The findings come amid a growing questions about what role the government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni may have played in spying on journalists and civil society activists critical of her leade

Conveyor uses AI to automate the painful process of vendor security reviews and RFPs with AI

Selling software to companies is such a time-consuming process. Even after customers are convinced a product is right for their organization, they still need to ensure the software meets all their security requirements. Chas Ballew realized just how painfully slow and tedious the vendor security and compliance review process was when he was running Aptible, a hosting platform for healthcare companies that he co-founded in 2013. “What we saw was that every time one of our customers was trying to

Two exploits are threatening Secure Boot, but Microsoft is only patching one of them

Facepalm: Microsoft and the PC industry developed the Secure Boot protocol to prevent modern UEFI-based computers from being hacked or compromised during the boot process. However, just a few years later, the technology is plagued by a steady stream of serious security vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals are currently having a field day with Secure Boot. Security experts have uncovered two separate vulnerabilities that are already being exploited in the wild to bypass SB's protections. Even more co
