Aeroflot, Russia's flag carrier, has suffered a cyberattack that resulted in the cancellation of more than 60 flights and severe delays on additional flights.

This founder left Silicon Valley to challenge US defense supremacy from Athens, and investors are paying attention

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2026-02-27 09:05:34

In the summer of 2021, Dimitrios Kottas made a move that would be unfathomable to most Silicon Valley engineers: after leaving his coveted position as an engineering manager at Apple’s Special Projects Group, he packed up his life in California and moved back to Athens to start a defense company.

Sony recently sent us the 2025 Bravia 5 TV, this one with a 98-inch screen and weighing in at 158 pounds. It goes without saying that this TV is a beast -- an expensive one.

I am not currently a user of Mastodon, but I have some interest in the project. I was looking at some stuff that seemed to indicate to me that the OSA could make it difficult to self host Mastodon without providing age verification.
