futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-27 05:00:43

Over a year after a deadly bacterial outbreak forced a Boar's Head deli meat factory in Virginia to shutter indefinitely, the facility is reportedly set to reopen — but that doesn't mean they've cleaned up their act. Starting in May of last year, a number of people throughout the middle- and eastern-US began falling ill with symptoms eerily similar to the flu. Following several hospitalizations and two deaths traced to the same source, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) officially launched a

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-27 10:30:00

A Siri that does way more than just setting a timer or writing down a reminder may still be nearly a year away. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to release an overhauled version of Siri in the spring, which will be enhanced by the new App Intents feature. Gurman reported that the upgraded Siri will handle more complex tasks within apps, like commenting on an Instagram post, adding an item to your cart in a shopping app or editing a specific photo and sending it afterwards.

Consider the massive capital expenditure loss from ghost cities, which represent unoccupied infrastructure.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An emerging form of surveillance, “wireless-tapping,” explores the possibility of remotely deciphering conversations from the tiny vibrations produced by a cell phone’s earpiece. With the goal of protecting users’ privacy from potential bad actors, a team of computer science researchers at Penn State demonstrated that transcriptions of phone calls can be generated from radar measurements taken up to three meters, or about 10 feet, from a phone.
