EFF to court: The Supreme Court must rein in secondary copyright liability

If the Supreme Court doesn’t reverse a lower court’s ruling, internet service providers (ISPs) could be forced to terminate people’s internet access based on nothing more than mere accusations of copyright infringement. This would threaten innocent users who rely on broadband for essential aspects of daily life. EFF—along with the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and Re:Create—filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reverse the decision. The Stakes: Turning

Leaked Video Shows US Military Shooting UFO With Hellfire Missile

Someone has leaked a video of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) — the military's preferred term for unidentified flying objects, better known as UFOs — to Congress. As USA Today reports, this never-before-seen video was provided anonymously to Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican and member of the House of Representative's UAP Caucus, and shows a bizarre encounter that occurred last October off the coast of Yemen. In the video, an Air Force MQ-9 "Reaper" drone tracks the object that B

Exclusive: Google wants to make Android phones safer by switching to ‘risk-based’ security updates

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority For the past decade, Google has consistently published an Android Security Bulletin every month, even if the company wasn’t ready to roll out a security update to its own Pixel devices. These bulletins detail the vulnerabilities that have been fixed in that month’s security release, with issues ranging from low to critical in severity. Given how large and complex the Android operating system and its underlying components are, it’s not unusual to see a dozen or

This real-life Google hack on my Pixel is why I could never switch to an iPhone

Paul Jones / Android Authority With the iPhone 17 finally getting some long overdue upgrades like a larger and high-refresh rate display, I’ve found myself toying with the idea of switching ecosystems over the past couple of days. It also doesn’t help that Google stumbled out of the gate with the recent Pixel 10 launch. Thanks to the latter’s unexpectedly small performance and battery life gains, I see no compelling reason to upgrade from my Pixel 8. But after mulling the decision over, I came

Does All Semiconductor Manufacturing Depend on Spruce Pine Quartz? (2024)

Here’s an idea you see spreading across the internet every so often: that all semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing depends on extremely pure quartz from the town of Spruce Pine, North Carolina. This quartz is used to make the crucibles which hold the molten silicon as it gets turned into silicon ingots, which are then cut into wafers and made into chips. The quartz needs to be very pure to prevent impurities from seeping into the silicon, and Spruce Pine is where this very pure quartz comes

An Annual Blast of Pacific Cold Water Did Not Occur, Alarming Scientists

Each year between January and April, a blob of cold water rises from the depths of the Gulf of Panama to the surface, playing an essential role in supporting marine life in the region. But this year, it never arrived. “It came as a surprise,” said Ralf Schiebel, a paleoceanographer at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry who studies the region. “We’ve never seen something like this before.” The blob is as much as 10 degrees Celsius colder than the surface water. In Fahrenheit terms, the wate

Open Source SDR Ham Transceiver Prototype

The future is here: LinHT booted up successfully for the first time. We believe that Software Defined Transceivers will be the next big trend in amateur radio.

Bruce Perens, K6BP https://perens.com/2025/08/12/whats-wrong-with-ardc/ The test device has no RF amplifier (although we will include GRF5604 RF amplifier in the next revision, see this). The output power of this test setup is around 5dBm. Frequency range: 420-450MHz

Big Businesses Are Doing Carbon Dioxide Removal All Wrong

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s foremost authority on the topic. But only some types of carbon removal are actually effective—and these are largely not the kind that major companies are investing in. A new report from the NewClimate Institute, a European think

Exit 8’s director was inspired by watching people play the game

Few video game adaptations understand their source material quite like the Exit 8 film. It takes the rules and structure of the game — which strands players inside of a looping hallway in a Tokyo subway station — and then builds on them with actual characters and a story. And according to director Genki Kawamura, one of the reasons that the movie feels so fresh could be because of how he approached it. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking about a film adaptation of a video game,” he tells The Verge. “

Chinese EV players take fight to legacy European automakers on their home turf

Xpeng CEO He Xiaopeng speaks to reporters at the electric carmaker's stand at the IAA auto show in Munich, Germany on September 8, 2025. Arjun Kharpal | CNBC Germany this week played host to one of the world's biggest auto shows — but in the heartland of Europe's auto industry, it was buzzy Chinese electric car companies looking to outshine some of the region's biggest brands on their home turf. The IAA Mobility conference in Munich was packed full of companies with huge stands showing off thei

Behind Kamathipura's Closed Doors

On the rickshaw, in the evening rush hour. An elderly driver, hands on the steering wheel, khaki shirt, marking his station. His neck hesitantly swivels, as if to say something: they have arrived at their destination. An alien territory in the white-washed city. Coquettish beckonings are lined up on fractured doors as street lamps in the narrow alleys. Collapsing buildings constrict ventilation and light. A landlord’s greed is made manifest: two-storeyed houses buried beneath off-balanced extens

I tried Apple's 2 big AI features announced at the iPhone 17 event - and both are game changers

Jason Hiner/ZDNET While we didn't hear much about Siri or Apple Intelligence during the 2025 Apple Event that launched new iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches, there were two huge AI features announced that have largely slipped under the radar. That's mostly because they were presented as great new features and didn't use overhyped AI marketing language. Nevertheless, I got to demo both features at Apple Park on Tuesday and my first impression was that both of them are nearly fully baked and r

Proton Mail suspended journalist accounts at request of cybersecurity agency

The company behind the Proton Mail email service, Proton, describes itself as a “neutral and safe haven for your personal data, committed to defending your freedom.” But last month, Proton disabled email accounts belonging to journalists reporting on security breaches of various South Korean government computer systems following a complaint by an unspecified cybersecurity agency.

Why the Oracle-OpenAI deal caught Wall Street by surprise

This week, OpenAI and Oracle shocked the markets with a surprise $300 billion, five-year agreement, part of a surge of new business that sent the cloud provider’s stock skyrocketing. But maybe the markets shouldn’t have been taken by surprise. The deal is a reminder that, despite Oracle’s legacy status, the company still plays a major role in AI infrastructure. On the OpenAI side, the agreement was more revealing than the lack of details suggest. For one, the startup’s willingness to pay so muc

Microsoft Offers Windows 10 Extended Security Updates for Free. You Just Need to Do One Thing

Microsoft is sunsetting Windows 10 support on Oct. 14, and with it stopping all updates to the former OS. If you aren't able to update to Windows 11, you still have options. For $30 you can grab a year of extended-security updates. There is also a free option available, provided you're willing to enable cloud backup and connect it to your OneDrive account. The ability to get free updates on Windows 10 is a pretty big deal because it is still the most widely used Windows OS, accounting for just

Pixel phones might soon stream emergencies in real-time just like iPhones (APK teardown)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new feature that will allow you to share live video with emergency services. It appears the feature will work similarly to the Emergency SOS Live Video feature Apple introduced to iOS 18 last year. It’s unclear if this feature will be exclusive to Pixels or available for all Android devices. Pixel phones offer a range of features that can prove helpful in the case of an emergency. For example, there’s Car Crash Detection, Safety Che

I don't like curved displays

I don't like curved displays ​ The vast majority of media uses rectilinear lenses, where straight lines in 3D remain straight in a 2D image: Each light ray lands on a flat rectangle that lies between the viewpoint and the light source, so viewing the image on a flat screen looks exactly the same as how it originally appeared. A curved screen won't do that — straight lines are no longer straight!

Education report calling for ethical AI use contains over 15 fake sources

On Friday, CBC News reported that a major education reform document prepared for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador contains at least 15 fabricated citations that academics suspect were generated by an AI language model—despite the same report calling for "ethical" AI use in schools. "A Vision for the Future: Transforming and Modernizing Education," released August 28, serves as a 10-year roadmap for modernizing the province's public schools and post-secondary institutions. The
