The Witcher debuted on Netflix in 2019 to effusive praise from fans. They loved the fantasy action, they loved seeing a popular series of books and video games come to life onscreen, and they loved Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, a taciturn monster hunter more vulnerable than he lets on.

Hyperscalers and data center developers are in a pickle: They all want to add computing power tomorrow, but utilities frequently play hard to get, citing years-long waits for grid connections. “All the AI data centers are struggling to get connected,” Amit Narayan, founder and CEO of Gridcare, told TechCrunch. “They’re so desperate. They are looking for solutions, which may or may not happen. Certainly not in the five-year timelines they cite.” That has led many data centers to pursue what’s called “behind the meter” power sources — basically, they build their own power plants, a costly endeavor that hints at…

A newly identified botnet takes a ‘shotgun’ approach to compromising devices, packing over 50 exploits targeting routers, servers, cameras, and other network products, Trend Micro reports. Dubbed RondoDox, the botnet began activities in mid-2025 and was associated with the exploitation of CVE-2023-1389, a command injection flaw in the WAN interface of TP-Link Archer AX21 routers that was disclosed at the Pwn2Own Toronto hacking contest in 2022. In June, RondoDox was seen targeting CVE-2024-3721 and CVE-2024-12856, two high-severity weaknesses in TBK DVRs and Four-Faith routers, and then significantly expanding its target list. According to Trend Micro, the botnet is now targeting…

Despite their usefulness, large language models still have a reliability problem. A new study shows that a team of AIs working together can score up to 97 percent on US medical licensing exams, outperforming any single AI.While recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has led to systems capable of passing professional and academic tests, their performance remains inconsistent. They’re still prone to hallucinations—plausible sounding but incorrect statements—which has limited their use in high-stakes area like medicine and finance.Nonetheless, LLMs have scored impressive results on medical exams, suggesting the technology could be useful in this area if their inconsistencies can…

Kindles are one of the best single-use devices on the market. I hate to even say single-use, since I read so much more than Amazon’s e-books. But at their core, Kindle devices serve as a platform for distraction-free reading without straining your eyes, no matter the time of day or how much sunlight is beating down on the screen. E Ink really is worth the hype, I fear. What I love most about my Kindle is its simplicity. Yet within that simplicity, there’s no shortage of settings and accessibility options to make the reading experience my own. Amazon toes the…
