A federal judge in Connecticut refused to dismiss a long-running lawsuit accusing the former Nestle Waters North America of defrauding consumers by labeling its Poland Spring bottled water as "spring water." From a report: While rejecting some claims in the proposed class action, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Alker Meyer in New Haven called it an open question whether Poland Spring qualified as spring water under the laws of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Poland Spring is now owned by Tampa, Florida-based Primo Brands, following multiple corporate transactions. Consumers sued Nestle Waters, then owned by Nestle, in 2017, saying it deceived them into overpaying for Poland Spring with labels declaring it to be "Natural Spring Water" or "100% Natural Spring Water." The plaintiffs said "not one drop" of the 1 billion gallons sold annually in the United States came from a natural spring, and that the actual Poland Spring in Maine "ran dry" two decades before Nestle bought the brand in 1992. In seeking a dismissal, Nestle Waters said geologists and officials in the eight states agreed that Poland Spring complied with a U.S. Food and Drug Administration rule defining spring water, and each state authorized its sale as "spring water." apply tags__________ 175822475 story [39]United States [40]Surgeon General Calls For Cancer Risk Warning on Alcoholic Beverages [41](cbsnews.com) [42]19 Posted by msmash on Friday January 03, 2025 @11:44AM from the how-about-that dept. The U.S. surgeon general has issued an advisory calling for a warning about the risk of cancer to be [43]included on alcoholic beverages. From a report: "Given the conclusive evidence on the cancer risk from alcohol consumption and the Office of the Surgeon General's responsibility to inform the American public of the best available scientific evidence, the Surgeon General recommends an update to the Surgeon General's warning label for alcohol-containing beverages to include a cancer risk warning," Dr. Vivek Murthy said in the advisory Friday. The advisory notes that alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the country, after tobacco and obesity. "Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States -- greater than the 13,500 alcohol-associated traffic crash fatalities per year in the U.S. -- yet the majority of Americans are unaware of this risk," Murthy said in a news release. The advisory also says more than 740,000 cancer cases globally could be attributed to alcohol use in 2020. apply tags__________ 175822443 story [44]Businesses [45]Boeing Adds More Surprise Quality Checks in Its Factories [46](msn.com) [47]15 Posted by msmash on Friday January 03, 2025 @11:01AM from the better-late-than-never dept. Boeing is conducting more [48]surprise inspections at its factories as part of a broader plan to prevent manufacturing snafus like the one that led to [49]a jet-panel blowout on an Alaska Air flight a year ago. From a report: The jet maker outlined on Friday more than a dozen steps it has taken in recent months to tackle a manufacturing quality crisis that has forced Boeing to slow production and has put it under the microscope of federal regulators. Some of the steps have been previously reported. Boeing restarted production at its 737 factory in December after a machinists strike stopped work for several months. The company is still producing far fewer 737 MAXs per month than it was in the months before the Alaska Airlines accident. Among the new procedures are another layer of random quality checks where plane parts are commonly removed and then put back. In the case of the MAX involved in last January's incident, workers failed to replace bolts needed to hold a door-plug in place. The plug had been opened to repair faulty rivets. apply tags__________ 175822435 story [50]Programming [51]New System Auto-Converts C To Memory-Safe Rust, But There's a Catch [52]19 Posted by msmash on Friday January 03, 2025 @10:22AM from the for-what-it's-worth dept. Researchers from Inria and Microsoft have developed a system to automatically [53]convert specific types of C programming code into memory-safe Rust code, addressing growing cybersecurity concerns about memory vulnerabilities in software systems. The technique, [54]detailed in a new paper, requires programmers to use a restricted version of C called "Mini-C" that excludes features like pointer arithmetic. The researchers successfully tested their conversion system on two major code libraries, including the 80,000-line HACL* cryptographic library. Parts of the converted code have already been integrated into Mozilla's NSS and OpenSSH security systems, according to the researchers. Memory safety errors account for 76% of Android vulnerabilities in 2019. apply tags__________ 175822403 story [55]China [56]China To Subsidize Smartphone Purchases in Bid To Lift Spending [57](yahoo.com) [58]16 Posted by msmash on Friday January 03, 2025 @09:40AM from the state-of-things dept. China will [59]expand consumption subsidies to cover smartphones and other electronics, in a step to promote domestic spending as external headwinds pick up. From a report: A national trade-in program that currently applies to home appliances and cars will broaden this year to include personal devices like phones, tablets and smartwatches, officials from the nation's top economic planning agency said in a briefing Friday. Chinese consumers in the post-Covid era have begun holding onto their smartphones longer, given a lack of exciting new features and general belt-tightening. As with cars and washing machines, investors hope incentives will revive the world's largest smartphone market and drive sales for not just brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi, but also galvanize business on platforms popular with device fans like Alibaba Group and JD.com. apply tags__________ 175822489 story [60]China [61]China Slashes SO2 Emissions Two-Thirds in 15 Years [62](ourworldindata.org) [63]34 Posted by msmash on Friday January 03, 2025 @08:17AM from the moving-forward dept. China's sulfur dioxide emissions have [64]fallen by more than two-thirds over the past 15 years through strict coal plant regulations and desulfurization technology, according to Community Emissions Data System data. Emissions peaked in mid-2000s after steep rises in the 1980s-90s, with the reduction significantly improving air quality in major cities. apply tags__________ 175820567 story [65]Music [66]Music Publishers Reach Deal With AI Giant Anthropic Over Copyrighted Song Lyrics [67](hollywoodreporter.com) [68]6 Posted by [69]BeauHD on Friday January 03, 2025 @08:00AM from the copyright-chaos dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Hollywood Reporter: A trio of major music publishers [70]suing Anthropic over the use of lyrics to train its AI system have [71]reached a deal with the Amazon-backed company to resolve some parts of a pending preliminary injunction. U.S. District Judge Eumi Lee on Thursday signed off on [72]an agreement between the two sides mandating Anthropic to maintain existing guardrails that prevent its Claude AI chatbot from providing lyrics to songs owned by the publishers or create new song lyrics based on the copyrighted material. In a statement, Anthropic said Claude "isn't designed to be used for copyright infringement, and we have numerous processes in place designed to prevent such infringement." It added, "Our decision to enter into this stipulation is consistent with those priorities. We continue to look forward to showing that, consistent with existing copyright law, using potentially copyrighted material in the training of generative AI models is a quintessential fair use." [...] Under the agreement, Anthropic will apply already-implemented guardrails in the training of new AI systems. The deal also provides an avenue for music publishers to intervene if the guardrails aren't working as intended. "Publishers may notify Anthropic in writing that its Guardrails are not effectively preventing output that reproduces, distributes, or displays, in whole or in part, the lyrics to compositions owned or controlled by Publishers, or creates derivative works based on those compositions," the filing states. "Anthropic will respond to Publishers expeditiously and undertake an investigation into those allegations, with which Publishers will cooperate in good faith." Anthropic has maintained in court filings that existing guardrails make it unlikely that any future user could prompt Claude to produce any material portion of the works-in-suit. They consist of a "range of technical and other measures -- at all levels in the development lifecycle -- that aim to prevent users from simply prompting Claude to regurgitate training data," said a company spokesperson. The court is expected to issue a ruling in the coming months on whether to issue preliminary injunction that would bar Anthropic from training future models on lyrics owned by the publishers. apply tags__________ 175822017 story [73]Privacy [74]Cloudflare's VPN App Among Half-Dozen Pulled From Indian App Stores [75](techcrunch.com) [76]8 Posted by msmash on Friday January 03, 2025 @06:01AM from the stranger-things dept. More than half-a-dozen VPN apps, including Cloudflare's widely-used 1.1.1.1, have been [77]pulled from India's Apple App Store and Google Play Store following intervention from government authorities, TechCrunch reported Friday. From the report: The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs issued removal orders for the apps, according to a document reviewed by TechCrunch and a disclosure made by Google to Lumen, Harvard University's database that tracks government takedown requests globally. apply tags__________ 175820545 story [78]Android [79]Drastically Reduced Xiaomi Bootloader Unlock Policy Raises Questions Over Device Ownership [80](androidpolice.com) [81]28 Posted by [82]BeauHD on Friday January 03, 2025 @05:00AM from the freedom-limiting dept. Xiaomi has [83]further restricted bootloader unlocking to [84]just one device per user per year, significantly hindering custom ROM development and reinforcing user dependence on its proprietary HyperOS ecosystem. Android Police reports: Roughly a year ago, Xiaomi introduced a policy limiting users to three unlocked devices per account, providing only a limited time window for unlocking, and demanding waiting periods before doing so. It's now gone even further, limiting users to unlocking the bootloader of just a single device throughout the year. Unlocking the bootloader changes the way a phone works by preventing automated software updates, among other things, and isn't a good idea for most users. Power users love it for complete customization of their devices, and unlocked bootloaders are critical to the creation and installation of privately developed operating systems, or custom ROMs. Custom ROMs usually (but not always) derive from pre-existing OSs like Android or Xiaomi's HyperOS. To write operating software that works on a certain device, you need to develop it on that specific device. Consequently, individuals and teams throughout the enthusiast phone sphere constantly add to their collections of bootloader-unlocked phones. The new unlocking restrictions could place undue hardship on resource-limited development teams, reducing the number of custom ROMs produced moving forward. Xiaomi first tightened restrictions roughly a year ago, following the enforcement of [85]a Chinese law requiring certain pre-installed software behaviors. But Xiaomi's business plan and sales models indicate a couple of other motivations for insisting users stick with its first-party HyperOS. Some of the motives include preventing scalping, avoiding accidental bricking, and preserving advertising-driven revenue. However, these measures come at the cost of user freedom and may stifle innovation within the enthusiast developer community. apply tags__________ 175820517 story [86]Science [87]New 'All-Optical' Nanoscale Sensors of Force Access Previously Unreachable Environments [88](phys.org) [89]7 Posted by [90]BeauHD on Friday January 03, 2025 @02:00AM from the new-and-improved dept. [91]ZipNada shares a report from Phys.org: In a paper [92]published today in Nature, a team led by Columbia Engineering researchers and collaborators report that they have [93]invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These "all-optical" nanosensors are probed with light only and therefore allow for fully remote read-outs -- no wires or connections are needed. They have 100 times better force sensitivity than the existing nanoparticles that utilize rare-earth ions for their optical response, and an operational range that spans more than four orders of magnitude in force, a much larger range -- 10-100 times larger -- than any previous optical nanosensor. "We expect our discovery will revolutionize the sensitivities and dynamic range achievable with optical force sensors, and will immediately disrupt technologies in areas from robotics to cellular biophysics and medicine to space travel," said Jim Schuck, associate professor of mechanical engineering. "The importance of developing new force sensors was recently underscored by Ardem Patapoutian, the 2021 Nobel Laureate who [94]emphasized the difficulty in probing environmentally sensitive processes within multiscale systems -- that is to say, in most physical and biological processes," Schuck notes. "We are excited to be part of these discoveries that transform the paradigm of sensing, allowing one to sensitively and dynamically map critical changes in forces and pressures in real-world environments that are currently unreachable with today's technologies." apply tags__________ 175819863 story [95]United States [96]Constellation Inks $1 Billion Deal To Supply US Government With Nuclear Power [97](reuters.com) [98]39 Posted by [99]BeauHD on Thursday January 02, 2025 @10:30PM from the record-breaking dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Constellation Energy has been [100]awarded a record $1 billion in contracts to supply nuclear power to the U.S. government over the next decade, the company said on Thursday. Constellation, the country's largest operator of nuclear power plants, will deliver electricity to more than 13 federal agencies as part of the agreements with the U.S. General Services Administration. The deal is the biggest energy purchase in the history of the GSA, which constructs and manages federal buildings, and is among the first major climate-focused energy agreement by the U.S. government to include electricity generated from existing nuclear reactors. The GSA estimated that the contracts, set to begin on April 25, will comprise over 10 million megawatt-hours over 10 years and provide electricity equivalent to powering more than 1 million homes annually. The procurement will deliver electricity to 80 federal facilities located throughout the PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission operator with service covering more than 65 million people. The U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Army Corps of Engineers are some of the facilities that will receive the power. [...] Constellation said the deal will enable it to extend the licenses of existing nuclear plants and invest in new equipment and technology that will increase output by about 135 megawatts. "The investments we make as a result of this contract will keep these plants operating reliably for decades to come and put new, clean nuclear energy on the grid while making the best use of taxpayer dollars," Constellation CEO Joe Dominguez said in a [101]release. apply tags__________ 175819841 story [102]Windows [103]With 10 Months of Support Remaining, Windows 10 Still Dominates [104](theregister.com) [105]110 Posted by [106]BeauHD on Thursday January 02, 2025 @09:20PM from the poor-adoption dept. Despite Microsoft's push for Windows 11, Windows 10 [107]continues to dominate the desktop OS market, rising to 62.7% market share in December 2024. The Register reports: Figures for December 2024 from [108]Statcounter -- used because Microsoft rarely shares usage data unless it has something to boast about -- confirm Windows 10's market share has inched up to 62.7 percent compared to the previous month while Windows 11's share fell back to 34.12 percent (from 34.94 percent in November 2024). Even though Windows 11's percentage of the pie is still bigger than it was this time last year (when Statcounter pegged it at 26.54 percent), the fact the new OS is still nowhere near to overtaking Windows 10 may alarm some Microsoft executives. [...] Canalys analyst, Kieren Jessop, noted that when looking at the more than 230 countries and regions tracked by Statcounter, Windows 10 share had actually only increased in just under a quarter of them, but that increase made an outsized impacted. Jessop cited the example of the US, where Windows 10 market share had gone from 58 percent in October 2024 to 67 percent in December. [...] Many editions of Windows 10 are due to drop out of free support [109]on October 14, 2025. Affected users will then have the [110]option to purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU) to keep the lights on a little longer or keep using the operating system and risk falling foul of unpatched vulnerabilities.

Samsung is [117]set to debut its new Odyssey 3D monitor at CES 2025, reviving the glasses-free 3D experience that manufacturers [118]pushed on consumers over a decade ago. While details remain limited, the monitor reportedly utilizes a lenticular lens, stereo cameras, and AI to convert 2D content into lifelike 3D visuals, with a focus on appealing to gamers for broader adoption. Ars Technica reports: According to the South Korean company's announcement, the monitor's use of a lenticular lens that is "attached to the front of the panel and its front stereo camera" means that you don't have to wear glasses to access the monitor's "customizable 3D experience." Lenticular lenses direct different images to each eye to make images look three-dimensional. This is a notable advancement from the first 3D monitor that Samsung released in 2009. That display used Nvidia software and Nvidia shutter glasses to allow users to toggle between a 2D view and a 3D view through a few button presses and supported content. Another advancement is the Odyssey 3D's claimed ability to use artificial intelligence "to analyze and convert 2D video into 3D." We've recently seen similar technology from brands like Acer, which announced portable monitors in 2022 and then announced laptops that could convert 2D content into stereoscopic 3D in 2023. Those displays also relied on AI, as well as a specialized optical lens and a pair of eye-tracking cameras, to create the effect. But unlike Acer's portable monitors, Samsung claims that its monitor can make 2D content look like 3D even if that content doesn't officially support 3D. [...] Interestingly, Samsung's announcement today only mentioned the release of a 27-inch, 4K resolution 3D monitor, despite Samsung teasing a 37-inch version in August. It's possible that the larger version didn't work as well and/or that demand for the larger size would be too small, considering the high price and limited demand implications of a glasses-free 3D monitor aimed at gamers.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Record: Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered dozens of attacks that involve malicious updates for Chrome browser extensions, one week after a security firm was compromised in a similar incident. As of Wednesday, a total of 36 Chrome extensions injected with data-stealing code have been detected, [124]mostly related to artificial intelligence (AI) tools and virtual private networks (VPNs), according to [125]a report by ExtensionTotal, a platform that analyzes extensions listed on various marketplaces and public registries. These extensions, collectively used by roughly 2.6 million people, include third-party tools such as ChatGPT for Google Meet, Bard AI Chat, YesCaptcha Assistant, VPNCity and Internxt VPN. Some of the affected companies have already addressed the issue by removing the compromised extensions from the store or updating them, according to ExtensionTotal's analysis. [...] It remains unclear whether all the compromised extensions are linked to the same threat actor. Security researchers warn that browser extensions "shouldn't be treated lightly," as they have deep access to browser data, including authenticated sessions and sensitive information. Extensions are also easy to update and often not subjected to the same scrutiny as traditional software. ExtensionTotal recommends that organizations use only pre-approved versions of extensions and ensure they remain unchanged and protected from malicious automatic updates. "Even when we trust the developer of an extension, it's crucial to remember that every version could be entirely different from the previous one," researchers said. "If the extension developer is compromised, the users are effectively compromised as well -- almost instantly." apply tags__________ 175819241 story [126]United Kingdom [127]UK's Electricity Was Cleanest Ever in 2024 [128]44 Posted by msmash on Thursday January 02, 2025 @07:22PM from the moving-forward dept.
