At long last, the launch of Apple’s much-rumored fourth generation Apple TV 4K might finally be imminent. After in order to release alongside an upgraded Siri and Apple Intelligence experience, the stars could conceivably align as soon as this fall.

Drupal is warning users that it’s already seeing attempts to exploit CVE-2026-9082, the highly critical vulnerability patched this week. The vulnerability affects an API designed to ensure that database queries are sanitized to prevent SQL injection. “A vulnerability in this API allows an attacker to send specially crafted requests, resulting in arbitrary SQL injection for sites using PostgreSQL databases,” Drupal explains. The flaw can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to obtain information and in some cases for privilege escalation and remote code execution. Drupal predicted that an exploit for CVE-2026-9082 may be created within hours or days of disclosure and…
Uncovering nature’s secrets is no easy task. The daily life of a scientist is often grueling, frustrating, and—perhaps surprisingly—boring as they repeat experiments over and over.Here’s where AI could lend a hand. This week, two studies offer a glimpse into a future where AI and scientists bounce ideas off each other and collaborate on projects to benefit humanity.Both systems rely on large language models in end-to-end scientific discovery. They read through existing literature, generate hypotheses, suggest relevant experiments, and analyze and interpret the data for scientists to evaluate. The researchers then give the AI feedback, and the cycle begins again.One…
Biometric authentication is no longer limited to fingerprints and face unlock. Researchers are now exploring whether your earbuds can recognize you simply by listening to the tiny vibrations created by your heartbeat. A new study published on the arXiv preprint server introduces “AccLock,” a passive authentication system that uses standard earphone hardware to verify a user’s identity. Instead of relying on microphones or voice prompts, the system works through built-in accelerometers already found in many modern earbuds. Your heartbeat may become your next password The technology captures heartbeat-induced vibrations inside the ear canal, known as ballistocardiography (BCG) signals. These signals…
On May 20, 2026, Prime Video dropped the series finale of The Boys, its long-running, gleefully violent superhero series.

Then the finale, “Blood and Bone,” finally dropped. Would it turn things around and end the show on a high note, or would it vindicate the haters and secure The…

The US Justice Department announced on Thursday that a Canadian man has been arrested for operating the recently disrupted Kimwolf DDoS botnet. The suspect, 23-year-old Jacob Butler of Ottawa, known online as ‘Dort’, is accused of administering the botnet and has been charged in the US on one count of aiding and abetting computer intrusion. Butler has been arrested in Canada and the US is seeking his extradition. If found guilty, he faces up to 10 years in prison. “Law enforcement allegedly connected Butler to the administration of the KimWolf botnet through IP address, online account information, transaction records, and…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech An artist in London plastered fake OpenAI ads inside city subway cars calling attention to ChatGPT’s close ties to a series of youth suicides. The artist Darren Cullen, a Banksy-like figure who has conducted many similar “subvertising” campaigns before, posted photos of the faux advertisements on X-formerly-Twitter. The fake ads reflect OpenAI’s minimal black-and-white style, and are affixed with OpenAI’s logo next to text reading “ChatGPT.” “Yes, we built a machine that tells teenagers to kill themselves,” they read. “But — it might…
We’ve already seen several rumors about the upcoming Honor Magic9 series and the latest one suggests all three phones in the series will feature upgraded batteries compared to their predecessors.
