A recently discovered ransomware strain called HybridPetya can bypass the UEFI Secure Boot feature to install a malicious application on the EFI System Partition. HybridPetya appears inspired by the destructive Petya/NotPetya malware that encrypted computers and prevented Windows from booting in attacks in 2016 and 2017 but did not provide a recovery option. Researchers at cybersecurity company ESET found a sample of HybridPetya on VirusTotal. They note that this may be a research project, a p

Nissan Leaf 2026 Review: Superb Steering, Competitive Pricing

wired.com John Voelcker 2025-10-09 07:00:00

Nissan quotes 160 kilowatts (214 horsepower) and 252 pound-feet of torque for the single motor that drives the front wheels. Acceleration is adequate in the standard drive mode, with Sport providing a bit more boost, enough to spin an inside front wheel in turns when pressed. The Eco mode was underwhelming, and while there’s a Personal mode to tweak your own combination of settings, we’d be shocked if anyone ever uses it.

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.
