bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-07-19 10:34:59

Microsoft has mistakenly tagged an ongoing Windows Firewall error message bug as fixed in recent updates, stating that they are still working on a resolution. Earlier this month, Microsoft warned that, starting with the June 2025 Windows 11 preview update, users would see Windows Firewall errors in the Event Viewer. These events would be labeled as event ID 2042 for the Windows Firewall With Advanced Security, and would be generated every time you restart Windows. "The error is found in Event

After a partly successful test flight, European firm eyes space station mission

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-19 22:00:46

Last month, the parachutes on Hélène Huby's small spacecraft failed to deploy, and the vehicle and its cargo crashed into the ocean on Earth. It was both a success and a failure. The success was that after Huby founded The Exploration Company in Europe, she managed to move nimbly with the "Mission Possible" spacecraft such that it cost less than $25 million to build and reached space in less than three years. The vehicle ticked off a number of successes in spaceflight before making a controlle

Trump's firing of Democratic FTC commissioner was unlawful, judge rules

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, one of the Democratic FTC Commissioners President Trump had fired back in March, said she looks forward to getting back to work. US District Judge Loren AliKhan has just ruled that her removal from the agency was "unlawful and without legal effect" and that she was still a "rightful member" of the commission. The judge explained that the firings violated protections that prevent a president from unilaterally removing officials at independent agencies. In her statement a

3D-printed living lung tissue

news.ycombinator.com Patty Wellborn 2025-07-21 06:20:42

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and develop new treatments. Dr. Emmanuel Osei, Assistant Professor in the Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, says the model produces tissue that closely resembles the complexity of a human lung, enabling improved testing of respiratory diseases and drug development. “To conduct our research and the testi

Amazon’s AI push is undermining its sustainability goals

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-22 06:01:59

Amazon’s decarbonization goals are being undermined by its push to be a leader in generative AI. Its most recent sustainability report concedes its overall carbon emissions grew for the first time since 2022. It reported a six percent increase in its carbon footprint across 2024, laying much of the blame at the feet of its data center rollout. The reported increase is significant given Amazon’s method of reporting its own environmental impact. Critics have suggested the mega-retailer “ dramatic

Meet the cement transport ship that makes cement ingredients while sailing

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-07-24 22:11:50

Shipping has a pollution problem, but one company has a solution that does more than just eliminate a boat’s carbon dioxide. London-based Seabound has developed a carbon capture system that transforms CO 2 from the engine into limestone, a key ingredient in cement. Fittingly, the company has installed it aboard the UBC Cork, a cement carrier currently sailing through the Mediterranean Sea. When the ship docks in Norway, the limestone created from the voyage will be offloaded and used to make m

Iconic NASA Probe That Visited Pluto Could Go Dark Thanks to Trump Cuts

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-07-26 10:05:58

On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, revealing unprecedented close-up views of the complex icy world. The iconic mission is still returning data from the far reaches of the solar system, but a lack of funding now threatens to end the mission prematurely. As NASA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the historic Pluto flyby, the space agency is also bracing for budget cuts that threaten the historic New Horizons probe.

We saw the heart of Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-27 23:15:02

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got a fleeting glimpse of Pluto 10 years ago, revealing a distant world with a picturesque landscape that, paradoxically, appears to be refreshing itself in the cold depths of our Solar System. The mission answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions.

Bold Mission to Hunt for Aliens on Venus Is Happening

Only on Nantucket: The Curious Case of the "Stolen" Mercedes

Good questions. And as Monday came and went without any sign of the missing Mercedes, the mystery deepened, and more theories continued to pour in: had it been hotwired and moved to a chop shop? Was it used for a joy ride and ditched in some remote corner of the island? The family asked the Current to share a photo of the vehicle, and the fact that it had been reported stolen. The post set off a deluge of messages along the lines of: "Who steals a car on Nantucket? Where are they going to go?"

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.
