Major reversal in ocean circulation detected in the Southern Ocean

Satellite data processing algorithms developed by ICM-CSIC have played a crucial role in detecting this significant shift in the Southern Hemisphere, which could accelerate the effects of climate change. Thanks to data obtained from Earth observation satellites, an international team of scientists has detected an unprecedented phenomenon for the first time: a reversal in the ocean circulation of the Southern Ocean. The study, led by the National Oceanographic Center (NOC, United Kingdom), was r

Websites hosting major US climate reports taken down

WASHINGTON (AP) — Websites that displayed legally mandated U.S. national climate assessments seem to have disappeared, making it harder for state and local governments and the public to learn what to expect in their backyards from a warming world. Scientists said the peer-reviewed authoritative reports save money and lives. Websites for the national assessments and the U.S. Global Change Research Program were down Monday and Tuesday with no links, notes or referrals elsewhere. The White House,

Gemini's command line tool is a hidden productivity game changer - and it's free

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET AI has finally started to trickle into the Linux command line. Thanks to the likes of Ollama, this reality is no longer avoidable: it's here, and it's not going anywhere. That's not to say you have to use AI in your Linux terminal, but you can. For those who benefit from AI and often use the Linux Command Line Interface (CLI), the combination of the two can be a very powerful productivity boost. Yes, you can get the power of Gemini AI directly in your

Legal software company Clio drops $1B on law data giant vLex

On Monday, Clio, a 17-year-old Canadian law firm management software company, announced that it has agreed to acquire vLex, a 26-year-old legal data intelligence platform, in a $1 billion cash-and-stock deal. The announcement comes about a year after Clio’s massive $900 million funding round, which nearly doubled the Vancouver, British Columbia-based company’s valuation from $1.6 billion in 2021 to $3 billion. vLex, which was largely bootstrapped until it was purchased by private equity firm O

How and Where to Recycle Your Old Computers and Printers

Everyone's got old, unused devices sitting around their homes. It can be weirdly difficult to get rid of your old laptop, desktop or printer -- even when it's been over a decade since you last switched it on. But recycling old tech can free up a lot of space in your home. A recent CNET survey found that 31% of US adults are still holding onto unused old devices, including laptops, because they're unsure of what to do with them. The survey also found that 19% of respondents just toss old devices

Implementing fast TCP fingerprinting with eBPF

In this article I want to document my journey implementing fast TCP fingerprinting in a golang webserver, using eBPF. Just to provide some background, TCP fingerprinting is one of the many techniques that can be used to detect unusual or identifying informations about a web request when implementing an anti-bot solution. This has been a hot topic lately, caused by the rising need to scrape the internet for human content to feeed to the LLMs. Implementing such a system offers interesting techn

The World Is Producing More Food than Ever—but Not for Long

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example. Some of these highly productive farmlands, including major crop-growing regions in the United States, are on track to see the sharpest drops in harvests due to climate change. That’s bad n

Graphic artists in China push back on AI and its averaging effect

Sendi Jia, a designer running her own studio between Beijing, China, and London, England, says she mainly uses AI generators like DALL-E to make fake photos for background panels or websites when her clients don’t have access to real ones. That’s helped clients with limited budgets, but it’s also exposed just how much of the creative process AI can replace. Recently, a potential client working in a university contacted Jia about creating the logo for a new project. Then, they changed their mind.

Redwood Materials launches energy storage business and its first target is AI data centers

Facing Rising Seas, Thousands in Tuvalu Seek an Escape Through Australia

As rising sea levels gradually swallow the world’s low-lying island nations, many citizens will have no choice but to leave their homes behind. In Tuvalu, one of the world’s most climate-threatened archipelagos, the migration has already begun. Nearly a third of Tuvalu’s roughly 11,000 residents are seeking Australian visas to escape the encroaching waters.

Hackers turn ScreenConnect into malware using Authenticode stuffing

Threat actors are abusing the ConnectWise ScreenConnect installer to build signed remote access malware by modifying hidden settings within the client's Authenticode signature. ConnectWise ScreenConnect is a remote monitoring and management (RMM) software that allows IT admins and managed service providers (MSPs) to troubleshoot devices remotely. When a ScreenConnect installer is built, it can be customized to include the remote server the client should connect to, what text is shown in the di

Hackers abuse Microsoft ClickOnce and AWS services for stealthy attacks

A sophisticated malicious campaign that researchers call OneClik has been leveraging Microsoft’s ClickOnce software deployment tool and custom Golang backdoors to compromise organizations within the energy, oil, and gas sectors. The hackers rely on legitimate AWS cloud services (AWS, Cloudfront, API Gateway, Lambda) to keep the command and control (C2) infrastructure hidden. ClickOnce is a deployment technology from Microsoft that allows developers to create self-updating Windows-based applica

Gemini CLI is a free, open source coding agent that brings AI to your terminal

Some developers prefer to live in the command line interface (CLI), eschewing the flashy graphics and file management features of IDEs. Google's latest AI tool is for those terminal lovers. It's called Gemini CLI, and it shares a lot with Gemini Code Assist, but it works in your terminal environment instead of integrating with an IDE. And perhaps best of all, it's free and open source.
