Windows Search used to be very simple and efficient. You search for something, Windows searches your local storage, and it returns a result. But for some reason, Microsoft decided Windows Search needed to search the internet alongside your local storage whenever you searched for something. Some people may find this feature helpful (I doubt anyone did), but I didn’t like it at all. The whole thing made Search feel slower because, obviously, searching the internet every time you type something takes additional resources. I stopped using Windows Search for a long time because of this and switched to an alternative…

Whenever a new AI model is released in a cut-down form because it is too powerful, or one transgresses its sandbox and performs an unexpected cyber hack on a company’s website, we tend to see jokes made about Skynet or HAL 9000 becoming a reality.But science fiction didn’t just predict our current relationship with AI, it influenced it. Our fascination with artificial life began long before computers — or even electricity — existed. Ancient Greek stories featured mechanical servants created by the god Hephaestus, while Jewish folklore gave us the Golem, an artificial being brought to life to carry out…

North Korea-aligned threat actors have been using a new Linux toolkit in attacks targeting automotive and media organizations in South Korea, Rapid7 reports.

The toolkit supports remote command execution, credential harvesting, and script injection into web traffic, enabling attackers to spy on victims for long periods of time without detection. According to Rapid7, the framework is deeply integrated within the target infrastructure, with the ted backdoor being compiled as part of the HAProxy…

Explanation: The Pelican Nebula is slowly being transformed. IC 5070 (an official designation) is divided from the larger North America Nebula by a molecular cloud filled with dark dust. The deep featured picture from Utah, USA incorporates 25 hours of exposure and brings out great details of this filamentary dust. The Pelican Nebula receives much study because it is a particularly active mix of star formation and evolving gas clouds. The light from young energetic stars is slowly transforming the cold gas to hot gas, with the advancing boundary between the two, known as an ionization front, visible in bright orange on the upper right. Particularly dense tentacles of cold gas remain. Millions of years from now, the Pelican Nebula, bounded…

Motorola could be the latest phone maker to jump on the wide foldable trend, with leaked sketches pointing to a new book-style device that looks designed to open into a broader, more tablet-like screen.
