I’ve had an old LG 47-inch smart TV that’s been sitting around collecting dust for years. It has a perfectly usable 1080p panel, but the smarts behind it have been obsolete for years. The last firmware update it received was in 2016, and its only accomplishment was to remove the Skype app. All modern streaming support has long disappeared, but I can’t justify throwing away an otherwise functional television. So, I connected an old NUC6CAY Intel NUC, complete with a 1TB hard drive, and tried to build the smart TV LG stopped supporting long ago. I didn’t want another Kodi…

Surfshark recorded nearly 6 times as many malware detections on WindowsWhile trojans mostly target Windows devices, phishing lands harder on MacA “Macs are safe” mindset may leave users more at risk of social engineeringNew data from Surfshark shows a stark split in how malware finds its targets: Windows users are hit at nearly six times the rate of macOS users.The headline number is eye-catching, but the full story is more interesting. While Windows soaks up the vast majority of traditional malware, Mac users face a very different kind of threat, one that a locked-down operating system does little to stop:…

Reco is tracking a sophisticated and innovative campaign targeting both Salesforce and ServiceNow via what appears to be a custom made multi-platform toolset. Researchers believe the primary targets include telecoms, banks and financial-services firms, enterprise-software vendors (including security and data-privacy companies), and public-sector portals. The campaign has been named ‘City-Forum’. It is directed at both Salesforce Aura and the newer LWR implementations, where it is the first observed in‑the‑wild exploitation of Salesforce’s UI‑API guest surface. Furthermore, attacks on Aura (necessarily included in a Salesforce campaign since Aura users still outnumber LWR users) are integrated with the LWR attacks in a…

Motorola has now started rolling out the update to Android 17 for the Signature, a smartphone that it launched in January. The update is a 5.75GB download, so make sure you grab it over a good enough connection. Once you’ve installed it, your Signature will be on software version A171WVH.21-16-1-3-4, which has to be the most convoluted naming scheme for smartphone software builds we’ve ever seen, and that’s really saying something. Anyway, the changelog says you can expect “a fresh, expressive design”, reduced clutter with smarter notifications, faster multitasking with more apps being accessible at once, and extra security with…

Realme is working on yet another smartphone to add to its already pretty expansive P4 family, the P4s Lite. The device is on its way to India, as it has just been certified for sale in the country by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), with the model number RMX5398. This is a necessary pre-launch step for any smartphone that will be sold in India. The certification process hasn’t revealed any of the phone’s specs, unfortunately. However, a past leak did claim the device would have 4GB of RAM and 64/128GB of storage. It will allegedly be available in Moonlight…

The barren lunar landscape has some important resources, such as water and minerals like iron and titanium, but extracting and processing them will require special equipment. Where those resources can be found will dictate where to land and how to mine them. To help with that, Lunar Station Corp. is using a wealth of NASA data in multiple computer models. “With 60 years of lunar data available to us, we help our clients understand the environmental factors for any given location on the Moon,” said Blair DeWitt, CEO of Lunar Station. Combining disparate data from different sensors used by NASA…

Insta360 X6: two-minute review10 years after Insta360 launched its first 360 camera, the X6 arrives as the anniversary flagship — and it arrives in a much, much busier 360 camera market. This time, Insta360 is defending its home turf against a resurgent GoPro Max 2 and a highly capable debut from DJI in the Osmo 360. There’s a feeling, then, that the X6 has to be something more than…
