Turning a Decommissioned iPhone into a UniFi Protect Camera

Turning a Decommissioned iPhone into a UniFi Protect Camera Friday, 15 August 2025 I’ve recently become a Ubiquiti UniFi disciple, including replacing our builder-basic doorbell from 1998 with Ubituiti G4 Doorbell Pro. This has brought me into the UniFi Protect ecosystem. Protect is absolutely designed to work with UniFi cameras — as one would expect — but they do have some basic support for third-party cameras that support ONVIF. It occurred to me that I have a small collection of minicomput

ChatGPT's GPT-5 models released: everything you need to know

After a long wait, GPT-5 is finally rolling out. It's available for free, Plus, Pro and Team users today. This means everyone gets to try GPT-5 today, but paid users get higher limits. In a blog post, OpenAI says GPT-5 is a big leap compared to previous models. OpenAI added that GPT-5 is the best coding model, and early benchmarks suggest it beats Opus 4.1 from Claude by a small margin, but real-life benchmarks are awaited. Unlike previous models, GPT-5 has built-in reasoning. It is a unifie

Towards A Unified Quantum Platform

Since its conception in the 1980s, quantum computing (QC) has presented academia and industry with numerous challenges as the technology has scaled. While QC systems have grown exponentially, with qubit numbers per system increasing from single digits to more than a thousand, a byproduct of this growth is a fragmented software and hardware ecosystem that makes further progress more difficult. Researchers have recently addressed this issue by creating a unified software and hardware platform to s

Cisco warns that Unified CM has hardcoded root SSH credentials

Cisco has removed a backdoor account from its Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), which would have allowed remote attackers to log in to unpatched devices with root privileges. Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), formerly known as Cisco CallManager, serves as the central control system for Cisco's IP telephony systems, handling call routing, device management, and telephony features. The vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2025-20309) was rated as maximum severity, and it is caused

Recycled Polyester Saved This American Factory. Environmentalists Hate It

In the bottle processing plant in Reidsville, North Carolina, drifts of plastic particles, like snow banks, are piled in every nook of the machinery that chops the bottles into flake. When I ask our tour guide, a floor manager, if he worries about breathing it in, he says he doesn't. "We do a good job of cleaning it up," he says, adding that the bags of dust that are vacuumed up are sold off, and the wastewater is filtered. But I’m concerned. A 2023 study of a UK plastics recycling plant found

What It Took to Bring Those Viral Star Trek Short Films to Life

In the past few years, there’s been plenty of Star Trek to talk about—new shows starting, older shows coming to their ends, the franchise’s future on screens big and small alike (although not always entirely successfully). But for some Trek diehards, a peculiar string of numbers is all that has been on their lips: 765874. That number—the purported Starfleet serial number of Yeoman J. M. Colt from the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage”—is the title that has been given to a series of sho
