I did the thing every Windows user eventually does after a random stutter and opened Task Manager, ready to judge a wall of numbers I only half trusted. That’s when I realized I had been reading the memory page wrong. Before I had launched anything heavy, several gigabytes of my 16GB of RAM were already marked as in use, even though nothing was rendering, compiling, exporting, or melting the CPU in the background. My first reaction was to assume some app had gone feral and was eating memory for sport. But my better instinct was to figure out what Windows…

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DR Galaxy A18 leak points to an almost unchanged design, with Samsung making only minor tweaks to the camera housing while keeping the familiar 6.7-inch Infinity-U display. The biggest upgrade may be under the hood, with the Galaxy A18 5G rumored to ditch Exynos for a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Size changes are barely noticeable, as the A18 is only 0.1mm narrower and 0.34mm thicker than the Galaxy A17. Samsung’s next budget Galaxy phone is beginning to take shape, but if you were hoping for a dramatic redesign, you may want to lower your expectations. A fresh…

A government entity in the US reportedly paid a $1 million ransom to the Kairos cyber extortion group to prevent the public dissemination of information stolen in a May 2025 intrusion, Ransom-ISAC reports. A leaked negotiation transcript shows that the extortion group demanded $3 million in cryptocurrency from the victim organization, but eventually settled for $1 million. Kairos claimed to have stolen over 2 terabytes of data, or approximately 1.6 million files, after accessing the victim’s environment in a brute-force attack. During the three-week negotiation, the victim increased its offer from $100,000 to $430,000, but eventually accepted a hard deadline…

SpaceX has officially requested FCC approval to launch and operate a third-generation satellite constellation of 100,000 satellites, designed to power human connectivity and AI-fueled progress. SpaceX communication satellites will scale to a 100x increase in bandwidth. It will 50x cheaper $/Gbps when launched using starship. The buildout was accelerated by up to 2 years by using the $85 billion IPO cash raise. “The artificial intelligence revolution promises a supersonic tsunami of progress with the capability to deliver transformative prosperity to billions and carry the light of human consciousness far into the future. The Gen3 system will include 100,000 satellites operating…

The HDMI format has come a long way, and we’re very far removed from the basic 720p days. Since then, we’ve evolved to 1080p, 1440p, 2160p (4K), and now 4320p, which is better known as 8K. While there are some 8K TVs out there, it’s far from the mainstream. It only feels like just recently that 4K TVs have gotten to the point where they’re affordable and available to the masses. In a lot of ways, we’re still playing catch up, and we haven’t really come close to maximizing what a 4K TV can do. This game console generation was…

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is using Anthropic’s powerful Mythos AI model to scan and audit federal government software for security vulnerabilities, according to a report from Reuters. Citing three sources familiar with the matter, Reuters reported that CISA is utilizing Mythos to scan code repositories across federal agencies. The operation aims to proactively discover and patch security bugs that could otherwise be exploited by foreign intelligence agencies and cybercriminals. The audits are reportedly being spearheaded by CISA’s Attack Surface Evaluation team, a specialized unit tasked with conducting digital defense assessments and simulated hacking exercises across the federal…

In summer 2026, sixteen stadiums across North America hosted matches as part of the FIFA World Cup. Over the years, astronauts aboard the International Space Station have captured a top-down view of the infrastructure, landscapes, and ecosystems surrounding many of these venues.   Six of the matches were played at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, beginning on June 13 with a match-up between Qatar and Switzerland. This stadium (also called Levi’s Stadium) is located in Santa Clara, California, adjacent to San Jose and around 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of San Francisco. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took…
