US Soldiers’ Personal Phones Allowed Enemies to Track Their Locations and Target Troops in Real Time, Pentagon Reveals

The Pentagon has confirmed that foreign adversaries of the United States have exploited commercially available smartphone location data to track American troops in war zones. The disclosure comes despite warnings issued nearly a decade ago about the risks of government contractors tracking smartphones. The problem persists because the DoD does not require users to turn […]

The first DRAM-free SSD controller to maximize PCIe Gen5 is also a power efficiency champion in the making

The upcoming Phison E37T SSD controller manages to maximize PCI-E 5.0 read speed at 14,900 MB/s. It consumes less than a third of the power of Phison’s older DRAM-infused SSD controllers. The move is crucial, aligned with Phison’s anticipation of high DRAM prices in the near future, aimed at providing relief to mainstream and enthusiast

California decides to ban the sale of 3D printers without a “gun blueprint detection algorithm”.

The ban, if implemented, would mean that any printer without this gun-blocking technology could not legally be sold or transferred in California. This decision is still awaiting review by the Senate before being promulgated. This could mean that 3D printers could become more expensive or more restrictive for users in the state in the near

Chinese company sells ‘stealth core technology by the kilo’ to make drones almost invisible to radar – spray coating is almost affordable by F-117 standards, reduces radar reflected power by 50%

Star-Navi, a Shenzhen-based company, is now selling access to stealth drone technology that normally presents a multibillion-dollar barrier to entry in the form of a standard package containing a spray gun. This technology essentially makes a drone’s radar cross section smaller and harder to track on modern radars. The coatings are marketed as the XRAM-C

AI is largely responsible for graduates’ employment prospects, and there could be a career advantage behind it all.

Remote work could explain about two-thirds of the rise in unemployment Young graduates need more in-person time to learn and acquire vital skills AI impacts could continue to be felt as entry-level roles disappear New data has revealed that artificial intelligence alone may not be responsible for rising youth unemployment. While that may explain some
