Cox Automotive warns that long-term future of EVs is under threatA culture of ‘replace rather than repair’ could be damaging residual valuesAs a result, older EVs will struggle to stay on the roadThe notion of a vehicle clocking up the mystical 500,000-mile figure could potentially die with the internal combustion engine, as experts warn that the current manufacturer focus on recyclability rather than repairability in modern EVs is threatening the long-term future of the technology itself.Speaking at the FT Future of the Car Summit in London, Cox Automotive’s European director of operations for EV battery solutions, Antonia Stephenson, said that…

Every data center cybersecurity team faces the same impossible equation: host-based agents consume CPU cycles that high-performance computing requires. For years, the industry has tried to balance this trade-off. The more security you implement, the more performance suffers; yet, the more you preserve performance, the greater the risk of blind spots. For an example of such a blind spot, look no further than the gap between a virtual machine (VM) and its physical host. In March 2025, Broadcom patched a series of VMware ESXi zero-day vulnerabilities that could escape the VM sandbox entirely. In 2023, the ESXiArgs campaign affected an…

NASA is collaborating with Eta Space of Rockledge, Florida, on an in‑orbit technology demonstration to advance a key capability for future deep space missions. The Liquid Oxygen Flight Demonstration, or LOXSAT, will test cryogenic fluid management technologies necessary for creating in-space propellant depots, essentially gas stations in space, that could support long-term exploration. During a nine-month mission, LOXSAT will demonstrate 11 cryogenic fluid management technologies. Eta Space built LOXSAT as part of a NASA Tipping Point opportunity, and Rocket Lab is providing spacecraft and launch services to deliver it to low Earth orbit. The LOXSAT payload has been integrated with…

It seems that Microsoft is keeping up its promise of making Windows 11 better. After introducing a new low-latency mode that speeds up app launches and an update that fixes the RAM memory leak issue, the tech giant is testing a new feature that addresses one of its most prominent problems.  The new feature is called Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery, and it can automatically roll back a broken driver that was pushed to your PC through Windows Update.  Right now, if a bad driver lands on your PC through Windows Update, you are stuck waiting for the hardware partner to submit…

We tend to think of web clippers as simple bookmarking tools. You find an article, save it, and promise yourself you’ll read it later. The Obsidian Web Clipper can do that, but it also does a lot more. I solved my bookmarks problems with the Obsidian and its Web Clipper. Now, I am taking it further. It can clean up webpages, summarize articles with AI, organize research into databases, and even save YouTube transcripts and Reddit discussions. After I dug past the defaults, I realized it feels less like a browser extension and more like a Swiss knife for collecting…

F5 on Wednesday announced fixes for over 19 high-severity and 32 medium-severity vulnerabilities impacting BIG-IP, BIG-IQ, and NGINX. Based on the CVSS score, the most severe of the resolved issues is CVE-2026-42945 (CVSS v4.0 score of 9.2), a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in NGINX’s ngx_http_rewrite_module module. The bug allows an unauthenticated attacker to send crafted HTTP requests that, combined with certain conditions beyond the attacker’s control, could trigger a heap buffer overflow and a restart. If Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is disabled, the flaw can be exploited for code execution. Next in line is CVE-2026-41225 (CVSS v4.0 score of 8.6),…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech A Waymo took the plunge, and now its human developers are paying for it: the autonomous driving company says it’s recalling 3,791 of its robotaxis after one of them decided to test its seaworthiness and plow into floodwater. Reflecting a broader issue with its fleet, Waymo’s cars when operating on higher speed roadways “may slow but not stop in response to detecting a potentially untraversable flooded lane,” the Google-owned company conceded in a notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last…
