Lavazza MilkEasy Plus reviewAs my millennial colleagues often say: “you don’t wanna see me before my morning coffee”. And there’s truth to that: having a cappuccino on first waking has become something of a ritual for me; it’s more effective than an alarm clock for getting me up and doing anything useful, at least. And since getting my hands on the Lavazza MilkEasy Plus, making a quick drink every…

You can connect multiple audio devices to your Windows PC, and they’ll usually work without much fuss. Where people mostly have a problem is switching between those devices. Windows does provide several ways to change your audio output and input, but finding the right options can mean navigating through different settings menus. And the quickest way, which is through the Quick Settings Panel, doesn’t allow you to change input audio devices. I’m clearly not the only one who finds all these annoying. Otherwise, Jeroen Pelgrims wouldn’t have developed SoundSwitch, a free open-source app that makes switching between audio devices (input…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityAdd Android Authority on Google: It’s been a few days since Google announced the Fitbit Edge, a fitness band that bridges the gap between the Fitbit Air and the recently launched Pixel Watch 5. Unlike the screenless Air, the Edge adds an interactive AMOLED display while staying compact and lightweight. You can check your workout stats on your wrist without reaching for your phone, making it more practical for everyday use.But while the display and design are nice additions, I was more interested in what the Edge brings to the table in terms of health tracking.…

As NASA returns humans to the lunar surface and establishes a long-term presence on our closest celestial neighbor, the agency and commercial human landing system providers Blue Origin and SpaceX have streamlined the designs and changed both concepts of operations for its future crewed landers. Since NASA established initial contracts with Blue Origin and SpaceX for crewed missions to the Moon, the agency has redefined Artemis III to demonstrate rendezvous and docking capabilities between test versions of landers from each provider and the agency’s Orion spacecraft in low Earth orbit next year. In parallel, the companies are also developing crew…

I have long been a huge fan of sci-fi films because of their extraordinary, imaginative stories. Having grown up watching timeless sci-fi movies like Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Interstellar, I was always amazed by the creative worlds on display, whether they’re wonderful or depressing. Snowpiercer, one of my favorite sci-fi films of the 2010s, features the latter, and it is now on Pluto TV. Directed by Parasite filmmaker Bong Joon Ho, the movie takes place on a train carrying humanity’s survivors as it crosses the globe after an attempt to stop climate change accidentally creates a second…

LiteLLM was compromised in a fresh supply chain attack, and malicious packages were served to its users on both PyPI and Docker. The incident occurred on October 21 and involved version 1.107.0 of the popular open source proxy for routing requests across LLM providers. The malicious packages were online for roughly three hours and are estimated to have been downloaded over 49,000 times. The packages were removed from PyPI, and Docker Hub tags and image variants were either removed or repointed to clean artifacts. [Read: Trivy, Not LiteLLM Behind the 2,500 Org Compromise ] Per LiteLLM’s investigation, the attackers obtained…

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEHugging Face’s New AI Biology Model Lets You Chat With DNAEmily Mullin | Wired ($)”The AI platform Hugging Face on Thursday released a new open model for understanding DNA that can run locally on a laptop. Developed in collaboration with researchers at Zhongguancun Academy in China and the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, the model is trained on genomic sequences and natural language so that people can ask questions about the effects of DNA changes on gene activity and health and get conversational answers in return.”BIOTECHNOLOGYA First for CRISPR: Powerful Prime Editing Alters DNA Directly in the…

Vivo could have played it safe with the X500 series. Give the phones a slightly faster processor, slap on a new coat of paint, throw around a few AI buzzwords, and call it a day. Nobody would have been particularly surprised. Thankfully, Vivo seems to have had other ideas. The new X500 lineup consists of three phones: the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. But don’t let the names fool you into thinking these are simply three sizes of the same phone. Each model has its own identity, with differences in display size, processing power, and camera hardware. The…
