As the pop-up message explains, clicking Allow will let Facebook generate new ideas from your camera roll, such as Collage, Recaps, AI Restylings, or Photo themes. To work, Facebook says it will upload media from its camera roll…
Astronomers have discovered an unusual planet hidden at the edge of a galaxy using the space-time phenomenon that Albert Einstein originally predicted.The exoplanet, known as At2021uey B, is a Jupiter-sized gas giant located approximately 3,200 light years from Earth. The location of the planet orbiting the small cool M dwarf star once every 4, 170 days is amazing. This is the third planet in the entire history of space observation, discovered far from the dense center of the Galaxy.But perhaps more exceptional than the planet’s location is the way it is used to discover it. An effect known as microlenses…
A crane collapsed at SpaceX’s South Texas Rocket Facility this week. The company’s newly formed city won’t say if anyone has been injured or not. On June 23, cranes were used to clean up the latest SpaceX Rocket Explosion debris that collapsed at the company’s launch complex. The footage of the accident was captured by Lab Padre, one of the content creators who regularly film and film the site. However, it was filmed from afar, making it impossible to tell if someone was hurt or in danger. SpaceX has not publicly admitted the collapse and did not respond to TechCrunch’s…
Petlibro, a pet tech startup known for its automatic feeders and filtered water fountains, has launched its latest product, the AI-powered Scout Smart Camera. Scouts are similar to other pet cameras on the market. It monitors your pets in real time and has two-way audio so you can communicate with them if they’re getting a prank. The companion mobile app allows users to control the movement of the camera, but the camera is designed to detect and automatically follow pets when they move. Also, if you can’t find it, you can take care to get your attention. However, what sets…
June 27, 2025Ravi LakshmananThreat Hunting/Vulnerability Threat Hunter has discovered a network of over 1,000 compromised small office and home office (SOHO) devices used to promote a long-term cyberspy infrastructure campaign for China and Nexus hacking groups. The Operational Relay Box (ORB) network is codenamed LapDogs by the Strike Team at SecurityScoreCard. “The LapDogs network is slowly and steadily growing with casualties concentrated in the US and Southeast Asia,” the cybersecurity company said in a technology report released this week. Other regions where infectious diseases are common include Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with the victims spanning it, including…
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that it would uphold Texas law requiring websites with “sexual material that is harmful to minors” to verify the age of all visitors. The Free Speech Union (FSC), an industry association for the adult industry, has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who challenges the state’s age verification laws. “The authority to request age verification is within the power of the state to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content,” Judge Clarence Thomas wrote in the court’s opinion. The court upheld the 6-3 side in favor of Paxton, in dissenting opinions…
June 27, 2025Ravi LakshmananVulnerability/Cyberspy The Chinese-related threat actor known as the Mustang Panda is attributed to a new cyber-espionage action directed against the Tibetan community. According to IBM X-Force, topics related to Tibet have been leveraged, such as the 9th World Parliament’s Treaty of Tibet (WPCT), China’s Education Policy (TAR) in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR), and recently published books. The tech company’s cybersecurity division observed the campaign earlier this month, saying the attacks would lead to the deployment of known Mustang Panda malware called Pubload. Tracking a threat actor under the name hive0154. The attack chain uses Tibetan-themed lures…
The city of Berkeley, which pioneered detached zoning as an exclusive tool in the early 20th century, is working to reverse decades of restrictions where multi-family development is limited. According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle by Darrell Owens, Berkeley began allowing high-density apartments in the 2000s, but continued to limit them in most areas. On the other hand, single-family homes are out of reach of the majority of residents, with median selling prices of $1.6 million. “On Thursday, Berkeley City Council is poised to rectify this unfortunate history by voting for the final draft of the “Middle…
