If you're looking to gift an affordable outdoor camera that doesn't require frequent battery replacements, the Blink Outdoor 4 is a great option. CNET's Tyler Lacoma says, "From the 1080p resolution and Alexa support to the two-way audio and motion detection, the Outdoor 4 does a little of everything in a compact, weather-resistant design. But where it really shines is that extended battery life." The handy Blink app also lets you check battery status -- a lifesaver, since you’ll probably forge

Threat actors abuse X’s Grok AI to spread malicious links

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-10-17 11:01:34

Threat actors are using Grok, X's built-in AI assistant, to bypass link posting restrictions that the platform introduced to reduce malicious advertising. As discovered by Guardio Labs' researcher Nati Tal, mavertisers often run sketchy video ads containing adult content baits and avoid including a link to the main body to avoid being blocked by X. Instead, they hide it in the small "From:" metadata field under the video card, which apparently isn't scanned by the social media platform for mal

Hydrogen-Powered Plasma Torch Decimates Plastic Waste in a Blink

In a press release today, the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMMS) announced the development of a plasma torch that annihilates plastic waste in less than 0.01 seconds—about ten times faster than a blink.

Ben Collins made a big bet. A year ago, just a few months after he’d been named CEO of The Onion, he relaunched its print edition. Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head
