In the somewhat stale smartphone market, Honor decided to shake things up a bit and finally launched the much-anticipated Honor Robot Phone. As the name implies, it’s no ordinary phone, and it doesn’t belong to the already existing Honor smartphone lineups. Instead, the Robot Phone bags several “industry first” technologies and it’s built on over 100 patents. And if the photos are not obvious enough, the centerpiece feature is the robot arm-like gimbal that extends and can do all sorts of stuff. Honor says it’s the world’s most compact gimbal, weighing only 2.6g and being 6mm thin. It’s also about…

Google Cloud has published an updated roadmap for migrating its infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), targeting full readiness by 2029, with some work expected to continue into the next decade. In March, Google announced it was moving up its timeline for transitioning to PQC, setting a 2029 target after faster-than-expected advances in quantum hardware and error correction. The tech giant announced this week that the plan, built around its own Quantum Threat Model, organizes work into three priority areas: mitigating Store Now Decrypt Later (SNDL) risk, strengthening digital signatures against forgery, and building the cryptographic agility needed to adopt new…

Grokbot is the easiest no-code agent platform. It is an app that gives non-technical users real agent capabilities right away. It is an entire small company inside one application. Every item in the sidebar is a named, persistent teammate (bot) with an ongoing role. All of the bots share one dedicated cloud computer that belongs only to your account. That machine has a browser, file system, terminal, tools, and a shared workspace. Bots can even get their own screens and work in parallel. Yes, Grok Bot is expensive at $200/month but you are getting a dedicated linux machine to make…

Most people set up a guest Wi-Fi network once, hand out the password to someone visiting, and forget it exists for anything else. Sure, that’s what the name suggests, but your guest network can do much more, including being the safest place for half the devices you’ve got hooked up to your Wi-Fi. That guest Wi-Fi is a ready-made isolation zone for every smart bulb, camera, and cheap sensor cluttering your primary network. And you should be using it more often.

Most of the 2,500 organizations believed to have been affected by the LiteLLM supply chain attack were actually exposed before, SOCRadar reports. The compromise was blamed on and claimed by TeamPCP, the threat actor behind multiple open source software (OSS) supply chain attacks involving the Shai-Hulud worm. It started with Aqua Security’s Trivy scanner and propagated downstream to multiple packages and repositories in a ripple effect fueled by the malware’s worm-like behavior and by the automated inclusion of the malicious libraries in more builds. More than 2,500 organizations were likely affected by the LiteLLM attack, CloudSEK and HudsonRock said earlier…

Explanation: On August 12, the Moon’s shadow reached out to touch our fair planet. Beginning in the Arctic Ocean, it swept along a narrow track that led the dark lunar umbra across parts of Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic, Portugal, and northern Spain. And for a moment, denizens of Earth who found themselves with clear skies under the shadow of the Moon could witness a total solar eclipse. After dodging the weather by sea and making a landing along Rype Fjord on the Greenland east coast (at 71.07055N, 27.71252W), this hard-won snapshot was captured at 17:33:26 UTC. That’s near the initial…

In the tech sphere, one of the perennial questions is whether someone should get an iPad, a MacBook, or a Windows laptop when they’re headed off to college or high school. Some sort of computer is mandatory these days, even just for taking notes. I remember that when I was still taking handwritten notes in university — keeping up with lectures was a challenge. The moment I switched to a hand-me-down laptop, I actually became impatient waiting for profs to say something worth typing. An iPad can be a viable learning machine. The more serious question is which model you…
