I made my VM think it has a CPU fan

news.ycombinator.com Petr Beneš 2025-08-22 07:55:18

Why bother? Some malware samples are known to do various checks to determine if they are running in a virtual machine. One of the common checks is to look for the presence of certain hardware components that are typically not emulated in virtualized environments. One such component is the CPU fan. One of the observed ways malware checks for the presence of a CPU fan is by looking for the Win32_Fan class in WMI: wmic path Win32_Fan get * And the reason they do this is they want to avoid runnin

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-22 03:45:20

But to what end? Fields of Data Indiana's newest cash crop isn't soybeans or corn; it's AI data centers — lots and lots of AI data centers. The New York Times reports that Amazon is building a vast complex of AI infrastructure facilities on top of 1,200 acres of former cropland, all meant for startup Anthropic's project to build an AI model that is as powerful, complex — and, just possibly, as intelligent — as the human brain.

I tested the 4 most popular health trackers for a year - here's my buying advice now

zdnet.com Nina Raemont 2025-08-22 03:00:15

The Oura Ring is, in my opinion, the sleep and health tracker to rule them all. Not only does it track your sleep, stress, activity, and more, it also creates helpful data illustrations that encourages healthy habits, whether that's a consistent bedtime routine, daily activity, or reduced alcohol consumption. Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

Germany just became the latest country to move against DeepSeek over mounting data privacy concerns. Here’s why this keeps happening. As you probably guessed, it’s a China thing When DeepSeek took the world by storm earlier this year, it wasn’t long before it found itself in the crosshairs of governments in the West.
