Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech A Himalayan border crossing between China and Nepal was obliterated by an ungodly landslide following torrential flooding across the region on Wednesday. Video captured by security cameras perched on the mountainside show the horrifying moment when the wall of mud descended on the Gyirong Port facility, swallowing the six-story building whole as dozens of people run for their lives. Within seconds of the mudslide’s arrival, the six-story Gyirong Port building is completely consumed by the muck. Authorities quickly declared a national emergency, as…

Several hours into Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, my protagonist confidently strides into a battle arena and soaks in the cheers of an adoring audience. Wielding a sizable blade and sporting gleaming gold armor, the hero then unleashes a devastating, tornado-like attack, making short work of dozens of aggressive gladiators.Needless to say, this third installment in Asobo Studio’s A Plague Tale series is a far cry from the franchise’s…

Brady Snyder / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google says it has fixed an issue that caused Google Home devices to play the wrong playlists. Users had reported getting unrelated songs, albums, or playlists instead of what they asked for. Google hasn’t explained what caused the problem, and we’re awaiting user confirmation that the fix has worked. However well you’re getting along with your Google smart speaker, the least you’d expect it to do right is play the correct music when you ask for it. Apparently, that hasn’t always been the case lately. After a YouTube Music playback bug affecting Nest Hubs a…

Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 team analyzed 405 malware samples tied to AI in some way, from ransomware partly written with the help of LLMs to installers that simply borrowed the name of a popular AI app. The researchers found that roughly 97% of the samples in the dataset never left a sandbox, research repository, or internal testing environment to reach a real target. Unit 42 cross-referenced the 405 file hashes against endpoint telemetry, network sessions forwarded for sandbox analysis, and internal alert records generated whenever a sample actually ran. Only 12 hashes surfaced on live endpoints, while a somewhat…

The $100B Starbase Louisiana will have 10 pads (5 complexes × 2) and will start building in 2027 with a first launch targeted 2029. The new launch facilities will not have a positive revenue impact until 2029 and only if the work stays on schedule. SpaceX now has 17 Starship launch pads under development. Those 17 pads will eventually have a combined launch capacity of 15,000+ launches per year. Including Starbase, Louisiana, @SpaceX now has 17 Starship launch pads under development. Those 17 pads will eventually have a combined launch capacity of 15,000+ launches per year, more than twice the…

Did you know that a USB port may still be electrically alive even though your PC looks totally dead — the screen is black, the fans have stopped, and Windows is gone? That remaining power can enable things you may not have considered, like charging a phone after shutdown or, on supported hardware, allowing a keyboard to wake the PC. Ever since I noticed this behavior, I’ve stopped considering “turned off” as a single on/off condition. I now test which ports and settings remain active when the device is off. Related I finally disabled these Windows services and my PC…

For the most part, DVD players all meld together from a physical standpoint. They all look and feel roughly the same, with their nondescript black rectangular casings, and they all function similarly on the whole. Then there’s the Panasonic SL-GC10-S, better known as the Panasonic Q. This 2001-era DVD player is built different. It’s shaped like a cube, it’s covered in a metallic coating, and, most notably of all, it plays Nintendo GameCube games. Indeed, the Q is an officially sanctioned Nintendo GameCube, and the only one capable of also playing back DVDs and CDs, at that. The Q was…

Presented by Tata Communications Enterprises are deploying AI agents, voice AI, and automation across messaging, voice, and digital channels faster than the architecture meant to support it. Most of that deployment has involved attaching conversational AI to legacy systems never built for it, says Gaurav Anand, global head of the Customer Interaction Suite at Tata Communications."In the rush to deploy AI, organizations have largely bolted conversational AI onto legacy systems," Anand says. "As a result, while many enterprises have adopted digital tools, very few have platforms that are truly integrated, scaled, and capable of seamless orchestration."That gap creates a heavy…

Adobe and Nvidia on Tuesday announced patches for dozens of vulnerabilities affecting their products, including flaws rated critical severity.  Nvidia Nvidia published four new advisories on Tuesday. One advisory alerts customers to 18 security vulnerabilities in NemoClaw and OpenShell, enterprise AI security and runtime infrastructure products designed to wrap around autonomous AI agents. Two of the vulnerabilities are critical and they can be exploited for code execution, privilege escalation, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service (DoS).  A dozen of the other weaknesses have a high severity rating and their exploitation can have a similar impact. Cyera has detailed…
