As cryptocurrency adoption grows worldwide, security is increasingly important for crypto exchanges like OKX. For both experienced users and newcomers in the digital asset economy, finding a safe exchange platform is a top priority. Although each user may have their own preferred platform, determining the safest option relies on clear security standards. Understanding Past Threats to Exchange Security Amid the rise of crypto exchanges in the 2010s, security was largely overlooked. A hack of the Mt. Gox exchange in 2011 made the need for change clear, when about 25,000 Bitcoins were stolen; the event led to the platform’s collapse, losing about $450…
Add another reason to the growing pile of reasons why it might be a good idea to shill out $13.99/month to pay for YouTube Premium: if you use the free version of YouTube and have to watch ads before and during some videos, you may have been bedeviled by an annoying bug over the past few months. If you open the official YouTube app on either your Apple or Android mobile device and blow up a video so it takes up your entire screen, you may see persistent ads in the lower corner that don’t go away no matter how…
The longevity of TVs is both better than ever and worse than it used to be. It’s worse in that with CRTs, the expectation was that you could keep them almost indefinitely — there are retro gamers playing on TVs that are 20 to 30 years old. Things are better in that a lot of the early problems with LCDs and OLEDs have been shaken out, and it’s possible to keep a TV running smoothly until you’d want to upgrade anyway. The question remains, though — which type of TV lasts the longest? I’m going to exclude CRTs from this…
Michelle Johnson was 20 weeks into her pregnancy when she learned her unborn son had spina bifida. Because his spine hadn’t fully sealed, the spinal cord was left protruding from a gaping hole. Without surgery, he would face a lifetime of disabilities.So she jumped at the chance to enroll in a small experimental trial for the condition at the University of California, Davis. The treatment combines fetal surgery, an existing approach, with a dose of stem cells to spur healing.Now four years old, Johnson’s son Tobi can walk and lacks symptoms such as loss of bladder and bowel control. “Tobi’s…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech In their 2022 book “The Road to Nowhere,” tech critic Paris Marx considered the implications of the death of Elaine Herzberg, a woman who was killed by an experimental Volkswagen operated by Uber — the first pedestrian death involving an autonomous vehicle. “The actions of Uber executives and engineers,” Marx writes, “are in line with the ‘move fast and break things’ culture that is promoted in Silicon Valley, one which is motivated first and foremost by beating competitors to market by launching a…

I never realized that there’s a built-in tool to test pretty much every hardware component on my PIxel 9. You might not have known about this tool, either, as it’s mostly for professionals trying to fix a problem with your phone. Still, there’s no reason why you can’t check it out yourself, like if your speakers sound off, a sensor is not working as expected, or you just want to confirm everything is working after you drop your phone. I’ll run every test I can find within this app, using no third-party tools or developer options. Here’s what this tool…
In a previous publicity stunt, Honor sent Joe Weller ziplining to test the strength of Honor Magic V6’s hinge. The latest stunt is closer to home – a manager for Honor used the V6 to do pull-ups. Like before, the person’s weight was hanging from the phone’s hinge while the sides of the phone were attached to the ceiling (and previously, to the zip line). This is not the weakest orientation for the hinge, but it’s still way above the strain that the hinge will face in daily use. Honor Magic V6’s hinge fully supporting a person’s…
