An anonymous reader shared [41]this report from the Associated Press: Poland's prosecutor general told the parliament on Wednesday that [42]powerful Pegasus spyware was used against hundreds of people during the former government in Poland, among them elected officials. Adam Bodnar told lawmakers that he found the scale of the surveillance "shocking and depressing...." The data showed that Pegasus was used in the cases of 578 people from 2017 to 2022, and that it was used by three separate government agencies: the Central Anticorruption Bureau, the Military Counterintelligence Service and the Internal Security Agency. The data show that it was used against six people in 2017; 100 in 2018; 140 in 2019; 161 in 2020; 162 in 2021; and then nine in 2022, when it stopped.... Bodnar said that the software generated "enormous knowledge" about the "private and professional lives" of those put under surveillance. He also stressed that the Polish state doesn't have full control over the data that is gathered because the system operates on the basis of a license that was granted by an Israeli company. "Pegasus gives its operators complete access to a mobile device, allowing them to extract passwords, photos, messages, contacts and browsing history and activate the microphone and camera for real-time eavesdropping." apply tags__________ 173661726 story [43]Printer [44]Behold the World's Largest 3D Printer [45](apnews.com) [46]7 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday April 28, 2024 @11:34AM from the 500-pounds-of-toner dept. They're calling it "the world's largest 3D printer," but also "the factory of the future" — not just a 3D printer, but a manufacturing system. It's the succcessor to a 3D printer that could create an entire house, cutting construction time and labor, [47]according to the Associated Press. And this one "may one day create entire neighborhoods." It has a voracious appetite, consuming as much as 500 pounds (227 kilograms) of material per hour... The university wants to show how homes can be constructed nearly entirely by a printer with a lower carbon footprint. The buildings and construction sector accounts for roughly 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely due to the production and use of materials such as cement, steel and aluminum that have a significant carbon footprint, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. Such printed buildings can be recycled, which is unique compared to current construction. "You can basically deconstruct it, you can grind it up if you wish, the 3D printed parts, and reprint with them, do it again," Dagher said before the event... But it can be used for a variety of [48]other creations and already has been used for a range of things, from boats to defense department structures. The project is partly funded by the U.S. military, [49]according to the BBC. "Maine University says it hopes the printer can be used to make affordable housing, as well as bridges, boats and wind turbines." apply tags__________ 173660164 story [50]Security [51]Why is South Korea's Military Set To Ban IPhones Over 'Security' Concerns? [52](appleinsider.com) [53]9 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday April 28, 2024 @10:34AM from the military-microphones dept. "South Korea is considering prohibiting the use of iPhones and smart wearable devices inside military buildings," [54]reports the Defense Post, "due to increasing security concerns." But the blog Apple Insider argues the move "has less to do with security and [55]more to do with a poorly crafted mobile device management suite coupled with nationalism..." A report on Tuesday morning claims that the ban is on all devices capable of voice recording and do not allow third-party apps to lock this down — with iPhone specifically named... According to sources familiar with the matter cited by [56]Tuesday's report, the iPhone is explicitly banned. Android-based devices, like Samsung's, are exempt from the ban... The issue appears to be that the South Korean National Defense Mobile Security mobile device management app doesn't seem to be able to block the use of the microphone. This particular MDM was rolled out in 2013, with use enforced across all military members in 2021. The report talks about user complaints about the software, and inconsistent limitations depending on make, model, and operating system. A military official speaking to the publication says that deficiencies on Android would be addressed in a software update. Discussions are apparently underway to extend the total ban downwards to the entire military. The Army is said to have tried the ban as well... Seven in 10 South Korean military members are Samsung users. So, the ban appears to be mostly symbolic.

[60](cnet.com) [61]20 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday April 28, 2024 @07:34AM from the Rabbit-response dept. It's another speech-recognizing, AI-powered handheld device "about half the size of a phone," [62]writes CNET. (Though the $199 device comes with a keyboard and a tiny 2.8-inch screen.) "The Rabbit R1 can identify items in its environment. Point it at a plant, and it can tell you what kind it is. Aim it at your lunch, and it can tell you what's in it. "it also feels a bit like a novelty so far...." It can call an Uber, order dinner from Doordash, translate conversations, record voice memos, play songs from Spotify and more. Your phone can already do all of those things, but [CEO and founder Jesse] Lyu is promoting the Rabbit R1 as a faster and more natural way to do so... So far, the Rabbit R1 feels fun, fresh and interesting, but also frustrating at times. It intrigues me, but it also hasn't convinced me yet that there's room for another gadget in my life.... Many of the things it can do today feel smartphone-esque, like asking for the weather or playing songs on Spotify... Visual search is the most interesting feature so far... It's pretty accurate for the most part so far. When I pointed it at my salad during lunch, it was able to tell me most of the ingredients. That's not what I asked. After all, who orders a dish without knowing what's in it? I asked the Rabbit R1 to tell me how many calories were in my lunch. While it couldn't provide the answer I wanted, I was impressed with its response... Overall, Rabbit R1's visual analysis worked pretty well for identifying things like plants and characters from pop culture. When describing my colleague's sneakers, the Rabbit R1 got the brand wrong... So far, I've used the Rabbit R1 to take voice memos, translate speech from Spanish to English, and answer basic questions about things like weather forecasts. These features work as expected for the most part. The article points out that [63]Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses "also have [64]multimodal AI, meaning the eyewear can 'see' what you see and tell you about it," and "you can already do something like this on your phone through [65]Google's Gemini assistant on Android phones (or the Gemini section of the Google app for the iPhone). "It's also very reminiscent of [66]Google Lens, which has been around for years..." apply tags__________ 173660964 story [67]Moon [68]Japan's Lunar Lander Made It Through Another Lunar Night [69](theregister.com) [70]10 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday April 28, 2024 @03:34AM from the 150-degrees-below-zero dept. Japan's moon lander "has woken up again," [71]reports the Register, "having survived three lunar nights." A [72]post on social media from the lander's X account confirmed that once more, Japan's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) had defied the odds and snapped a picture of the lunar surface using its navigation camera. SLIM was revived [73]a few weeks ago, after a second lunar night. However, with telemetry showing that some of the electronics (temperature sensors) and battery cells were [74]malfunctioning, the chances of the lander making it through a third lunar night seemed remote. Yet against all odds, SLIM has stirred once more on the lunar surface despite lacking heaters to keep its electronics warm. apply tags__________ 173658442 story [75]Social Networks [76]What Happened After India Banned TikTok? [77](apnews.com) [78]72 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @11:34PM from the world's-most-populous-country dept. What happened after India banned TikTok? The move "mostly drew widespread support" [79]notes the Associated Press, in a country "where protesters had been calling for a boycott of Chinese goods since the deadly confrontation in the remote Karakoram mountain border region." "There was a clamour leading up to this, and the popular narrative was how can we allow Chinese companies to do business in India when we're in the middle of a military standoff," said Nikhil Pahwa, a digital policy expert and founder of tech website MediaNama. Just months before the ban, India had also restricted investment from Chinese companies, Pahwa added. "TikTok wasn't a one-off case. Today, India has banned over 500 Chinese apps to date." At the time, [80]India had about 200 million TikTok users. And the company also employed thousands of Indians. TikTok users and content creators, however, needed a place to go — and the ban provided a multi-billion dollar opportunity to snatch up a big market. Within months, Google rolled out YouTube Shorts and Instagram pushed out its Reels feature. Both mimicked the short-form video creation that TikTok had excelled at. "And they ended up capturing most of the market that TikTok had vacated," said Pahwa. TikTok is also banned [81]in Nepal and Somalia, according to Mashable, and the Associaterd Press adds that it's now also banned in [82]Pakistan, Nepal and Afghanistan "and [83]restricted in many countries in Europe." Their article concludes that "for the most part, content creators and users in the four years since the ban have moved on to other platforms." They quote one frequent TikTok user as saying they just switched to Instagram after the ban, and "It wasn't really a big deal." apply tags__________ 173659192 story [84]AI [85]Cisco Joins Microsoft, IBM in Vatican Pledge For Ethical AI Use and Development [86](apnews.com) [87]36 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @09:34PM from the pledge-drivers dept. An anonymous reader shared [88]this report from the Associated Press: Tech giant Cisco Systems on Wednesday joined Microsoft and IBM in signing onto a Vatican-sponsored pledge to ensure artificial intelligence is developed and used ethically and to benefit the common good... The pledge outlines key pillars of ethical and responsible use of AI. It emphasizes that AI systems must be designed, used and regulated to serve and protect the dignity of all human beings, without discrimination, and their environments. It highlights principles of transparency, inclusion, responsibility, impartiality and security as necessary to guide all AI developments. The document was unveiled and signed at a Vatican conference on Feb. 28, 2020... Pope Francis has called for an [89]international treaty to ensure AI is developed and used ethically, devoting his annual peace message this year to the topic. apply tags__________ 173659456 story [90]Apple [91]Apple ID Lock-Out Affects Macs, iPhones, iPads, and iCloud Services [92](indiatimes.com) [93]31 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @06:35PM from the reset-player-one dept. An anonymous reader shared [94]this report from the Times of India: Several Apple customers were inexplicably locked out of their Apple ID accounts Friday evening in a major service disruption, forcing them to reset their passwords across all devices and services. According to user reports on social media, the widespread outage began around 8 p.m. ET. People complained that they were abruptly signed out of their Apple IDs on Macs, iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices. When attempting to sign back in with their existing passwords, they received an error message preventing access... To regain access, users had to go through Apple's account recovery process to reset their Apple ID passwords. However, many reported difficulties even completing the reset process initially due to high demand... The outage affected iCloud services like iCloud Drive, iMessage, FaceTime, and the App Store. Third-party apps and services that integrate with Apple ID sign-in were also disrupted for those impacted. apply tags__________ 173658088 story [95]Space [96]Russia Vetoes U.N. Resolution On Nuclear Weapons In Space [97](cnn.com) [98]129 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @05:34PM from the nyet dept. This week Russia [99]vetoed a UN resolution that proposed banning nuclear weapons in space, CNN reports. But it all happened "amid U.S. intelligence-backed concerns that Moscow is trying to develop a nuclear device capable of destroying satellites." In February, President Joe Biden [100]confirmed the US has intelligence that Russia is developing a nuclear anti-satellite capability. Three sources familiar with the intelligence subsequently told CNN the weapon could destroy satellites by [101]creating a massive energy wave when detonated... US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Wednesday's vote "marks a real missed opportunity to rebuild much-needed trust in existing arms control obligations." A US and Japan-drafted resolution had received cross-regional support from more than 60 member states. It intended to strengthen and uphold the global non-proliferation regime, including in outer space, and reaffirm the shared goal of maintaining outer space for peaceful purposes. It also called on UN member states not to develop nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction designed to be placed in Earth's orbit.... Experts say this kind of weapon could have the potential to wipe out mega constellations of small satellites, like SpaceX's Starlink, which has been successfully used by Ukraine to counter Russian troops. This would almost certainly be "a last-ditch weapon" for Russia, the US official and other sources said — because it would do the same damage to whatever Russian satellites were also in the area. The article notes that [102]in March Russian President Vladimir Putin "told officials that space projects, including the setup of a nuclear power unit in space, should be a priority and receive proper financing."

"A former high school athletic director was arrested Thursday morning," [108]reports CBS News, "after allegedly using artificial intelligence to impersonate the school principal in a recording..." One-time Pikesville High School employee Dazhon Darien is facing charges that include theft, stalking, disruption of school operations and retaliation against a witness. Investigators determined he faked principal Eric Eiswert's voice and circulated the audio on social media in January. Darien's nickname, DJ, was among the names mentioned in the audio clips he allegedly faked, according to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office. Baltimore County detectives say Darien created the recording as retaliation against Eiswert, who had launched an investigation into the potential mishandling of school funds, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said on Thursday. Eiswert's voice, which police and [109]AI experts believe was simulated, made disparaging comments toward Black students and the surrounding Jewish community. The audio was widely circulated on social media. The article notes that after the faked recording circulated on social media the principal "was temporarily removed from the school, and waves of hate-filled messages circulated on social media, while the school received numerous phone calls." The suspect had actually used the school's network multiple times to perform online searches for OpenAI tools, "which police linked to paid OpenAI accounts." apply tags__________ 173654018 story [110]Transportation [111]Boeing Accused of Retaliating Against Two Engineers in 2022 [112](reuters.com) [113]43 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @03:34PM from the quality-assurances dept. Reuters reports that America's Federal Aviation Administration "is [114]investigating a union's claims that Boeing retaliated against two employees who in 2022 insisted the planemaker re-evaluate prior engineering work on 777 and 787 jets." The employees' union "said the two unidentified engineers were representatives of the FAA, which delegates some of its oversight authority and certification process to Boeing workers." The FAA noted on Tuesday [115]that in 2022 it boosted oversight of planemakers by protecting aviation industry employees who perform agency functions from interference by their employers. A December 2021 Senate report found "FAA's certification process suffers from undue pressure on line engineers and production staff." "Boeing can tell Congress and the media all it wants about how retaliation is strictly prohibited," said SPEEA Director of Strategic Development Rich Plunkett. "But our union is fighting retaliation cases on a regular basis, and, in this specific case, Boeing is trying to hide information that would shed light on what happened...." Last week, [116]Boeing quality engineer whistleblower Sam Salehpour, who raised questions about Boeing widebody jets, told senators he was told to "shut up" when he flagged safety concerns. He has said he was removed from the 787 program and transferred to the 777 jet due to his questions. Boeing has "zero tolerance for retaliation," according a statement quoted by Reuters, in which the company says they "encourage our employees to speak up when they see an issue. After an extensive review of documentation and interviewing more than a dozen witnesses, our investigators found no evidence of retaliation or interference. We have determined the allegations are unsubstantiated." The [117]union's version of the story? "After nearly six months of debate, the two engineers, with backing from the FAA, prevailed. Boeing re-did the required analysis." The two engineers were still Boeing employees, however, and Boeing management was not pleased. When they came up for their next performance reviews, the two engineers received identical negative evaluations... Even after the manager of the two engineers admitted that he had rated them both poorly at the request of the 777 and 787 managers who had been forced to resubmit their work, Boeing refused to change the engineers' performance evaluations. At this point, one of the engineers left in disgust; the other filed a formal "Speak Up" complaint with Boeing. apply tags__________ 173653944 story [118]Businesses [119]$5.6 Million in Refunds Sent to Ring Customers, Settling Unauthorized Access and Privacy Violations [120](apnews.com) [121]10 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @02:34PM from the one-Ring-to-rule-them-all dept. America's Federal Trade Commission "is sending more than $5.6 million in refunds to consumers," [122]reports the Associated Press, "as part of a settlement with Amazon-owned Ring, which was charged with failing to protect private video footage from outside access." In a 2023 complaint, the FTC accused the doorbell camera and home security provider of allowing its employees and contractors to access customers' private videos. Ring allegedly used such footage to train algorithms without consent, among other purposes. Ring was also charged with failing to implement key security protections, which enabled hackers to take control of customers' accounts, cameras and videos. This led to "egregious violations of users' privacy," the FTC noted. The [123]resulting settlement required Ring to delete content that was found to be unlawfully obtained, establish stronger security protections and pay a hefty fine. The FTC says that it's now using much of that money to refund eligible Ring customers. According to [124]their announcement Tuesday, the FTC is now sending 117,044 PayPal payments to affected consumers... apply tags__________ 173653450 story [125]Data Storage [126]The 'Ceph' Community Now Stores 1,000 Petabytes in Its Open Source Storage Solution [127](linuxfoundation.org) [128]19 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @01:34PM from the bunches-of-bytes dept. 1,000 petabytes. A million terabytes. One quintillion bytes (or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000). That's the amount of storage [129]reported by users of the Ceph storage solution (across more than 3,000 Ceph clusters). The Ceph Foundation is a "directed fund" of the Linux Foundation, providing a neutral home for Ceph, "the most popular open source storage solution for modern data storage challenges" (offering an architecture that's "highly scalable, resilient, and flexible"). It's a software-defined storage platform, providing object storage, block storage, and file storage built on a common distributed cluster foundation. And Friday they announced the release of Ceph Squid, "which comes with several performance and space efficiency features along with enhanced protocol support." Ceph has solidified its position as the cornerstone of open source data storage. The release of Ceph Squid represents a significant milestone toward providing scalable, reliable, and flexible storage solutions that meet the ever-evolving demands of digital data storage. Features of Ceph Squid include improvements to BlueStore [a storage back end specifically designed for managing data on disk for Ceph Object Storage Daemon workloads] to reduce latency and CPU requirements for snapshot intensive workloads. BlueStore now uses RocksDB compression by default for increased average performance and reduced space usage. [And the next-generation Crimson OSD also has improvements in stability and read performance, and "now supports scrub, partial recovery and osdmap trimming."] Ceph continues to drive the future of storage, and welcomes developers, partners, and technology enthusiasts to get involved. Ceph Squid also brings enhancements for the CRUSH algorithm [which computes storage locations] to support more flexible and cost effective erasure coding configurations. apply tags__________ 173653616 story [130]Science [131]Two Lifeforms Merge Into One Organism For First Time In a Billion Years [132](independent.co.uk) [133]67 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @12:34PM from the one-plus-one-equals-one dept. "For the first time in at least a billion years, two lifeforms have merged into a single organism," [134]reports the Independent: The process, called primary endosymbiosis, has only happened twice in the history of the Earth, with the first time giving rise to all complex life as we know it through mitochondria. The second time that it happened saw the emergence of plants. Now, an international team of scientists have observed the evolutionary event happening between a species of algae commonly found in the ocean and a bacterium... The process involves the algae engulfing the bacterium and providing it with nutrients, energy and protection in return for functions that it could not previously perform — in this instance, the ability to "fix" nitrogen from the air. The algae then incorporates the bacterium as an internal organ called an organelle, which becomes vital to the host's ability to function. The researchers from the U.S. and Japan who made the discovery said it will offer new insights into the process of evolution, while also holding the potential to fundamentally change agriculture. "This system is a new perspective on nitrogen fixation, and it might provide clues into how such an organelle could be engineered into crop plants," said Dr Coale. Two papers detailing the research were published in the scientific journals [135]Science and [136]Cell.

[140](cnbc.com) [141]67 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday April 27, 2024 @11:34AM from the chipping-away dept. "Intel used to dominate the U.S. chip industry," [142]writes CNBC. But now "it's struggling to stay relevant." Intel's long-awaited turnaround looks farther away than ever after the company reported [143]dismal first-quarter earnings. Investors pushed the shares down 9% on Friday to their lowest level of the year. Although Intel's revenue is no longer shrinking and the company remains the biggest maker of processors that power PCs and laptops, sales in the first quarter trailed estimates. Intel also gave a soft forecast for the second quarter, suggesting weak demand... Intel is the worst-performing tech stock in the S&P 500 this year, down 37%. Meanwhile, the two best-performing stocks in the index are chipmaker Nvidia and Super Micro Computer, which has been boosted by surging demand for Nvidia-based artificial intelligence servers. Intel, long the most valuable U.S. chipmaker, is now one-sixteenth the size of Nvidia by market cap. It's also smaller than Qualcomm, Broadcom, Texas Instruments, and AMD. For decades, it was the largest semiconductor company in the world by sales, but suffered [144]seven straight quarters of revenue declines recently, and was passed by Nvidia last year. Intel's problems "are decades in the making," according to CNBC, suggesting that one turning point was Apple's decision not to use Intel's chips in its iPhone. Now nearly every smartphone built uses Arm chips built by Apple and Qualcomm, while Apple's huge orders for TSMC chips "provided the cash to annually upgrade the manufacturing equipment at TSMC, which eventually surpassed Intel." Around 2017, mobile chips from Apple and Qualcomm started adding AI parts to their chips called neural processing units, another advancement over Intel's PC processors. The first Intel-based laptop with an NPU shipped late last year. Intel has since lost share in its core PC chip business to chips that grew out of the mobile revolution... Apple stopped using Intel in its PCs in 2020. Macs now use Arm-based chips, and some of the first mainstream Windows laptops with Arm-based chips are coming out later this year. Low-cost laptops running Google ChromeOS are increasingly using Arm, too... AMD made over 20% of server CPUs sold in 2022, and shipments grew 62% that year, according to an estimate from [145]Counterpoint Research last year. AMD [146]surpassed Intel's market cap the same year. apply tags__________ [147]« Newer [148]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [149]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll Will ByteDance be forced to divest TikTok (*) Yes ( ) No ( ) IDK / show results (BUTTON) vote now [150]Read the 20 comments | 8072 votes Looks like someone has already voted from this IP.
