Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Imagine this scenario: your algorithm has pulled up a background YouTube video, or maybe a podcast. Unbeknownst to you, hackers have embedded inaudible sounds in it, designed to hijack your smart speaker or phone’s AI assistant — meaning the cybercriminals can now access your private photos, bank accounts, or any other personal information you’ve hooked up to your AI system. It sounds like an also-ran episode of “Black Mirror,” but it’s exactly what researchers have shown is possible in new research being presented…

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the faces of the Moon landing era. Elon Musk’s Mars era may get a very different public face in Chun Wang, a cryptocurrency billionaire whose fortune traces back to Bitcoin mining. Wang is expected to lead a future SpaceX Starship mission that would fly past Mars and return to Earth. SpaceX has not announced a launch date, and the plan still depends on Starship proving it can safely carry humans far beyond Earth’s orbit. SpaceX From Apollo heroes to billionaire passengers Private spaceflight has already moved through its celebrity phase. In April 2025, Blue…

Radio is one of those hobbies that quickly turns a five-minute experiment into an entire evening, which is why I keep coming back to it again and again. As an amateur radio operator myself, I love the hunt for finding signals and attaching all that noise and speech to real-world infrastructure. Adding live aircraft into that mix meant I was basically doomed to spend a lot of time matching air traffic control transmissions to real-time aviation events. Unfortunately for me, I live in the middle of nowhere, well out of range of any airport large enough to make use of…

This week we’ll look at a grab bag of phones, focusing mostly on higher end devices, though there are a few mid-rangers in here too. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is $50 less than it was last week. There is already One UI 9 beta available for testing (based on Android 17) – the US is one of the select few regions where Samsung conducts early tests. The new version will bring accessibility improvements, new security features, better controls for the Quick Panel and so on. It’s early for an official “save the date”, but we expect that…

This will mean SpaceXAI will be able to have more deals to build faster with huge profits. They can be renting ½ of the new capacity to scale the earth based data centers to 100B+/year high-margin rental business by 2027 and even $200 billion in 2028. More deals and more construction will make AI data centers and Cursor enterprise AI business the…

Android 17 has been in beta for a while now, but Google keeps adding new features. If you haven’t been following along with all the announcements, you can watch the 90-second recap video below to get the highlights. There are longer videos with details on the core Android experience, Gemini Intelligence, Android Auto and, of course, the Googlebook. That’s a lot to take in – there are so many new features and new products! But did any of them get you excited – which ones? That’s what we want to find out this week. Some of these are overdue –…

For the past couple of years, Google I/O has been the stage exclusively for AI announcements, and this year wasn’t any different. This time, however, the focus was back on Google Search, but perhaps not in the way we expected. Instead of addressing the long-standing, fundamental problems with Search, Google introduced a lot of AI integrations into its marquee search engine — so much so that the line between Google Search and Gemini is increasingly becoming difficult to make out.While AI Overviews and AI Mode have been meaningful additions to Search despite their rough start, it now seems that Google…

Grafana this week revealed that the unauthorized access to the Grafana Labs GitHub repositories disclosed earlier this month was the result of the TanStack supply chain attack. On May 11, TanStack and other high-profile NPM and PyPI projects were hit by a Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain attack that resulted in self-propagating information-stealing malware being deployed on victims’ computers. Grafana says it detected malicious activity associated with the attack on May 11 and immediately rotated GitHub workflow tokens. Because one token was not revoked, however, the threat actor behind the TanStack attack accessed Grafana’s GitHub repositories. “A subsequent review confirmed that…
