U.F.O. or Unidentified Flying Object, they are seemingly everywhere and easy to dismiss when they are not in your neighborhood but this one is, in our neighborhood.
Whenever someone says they saw one, they get extremely dismissive reactions from most people. Skeptics immediately think you are saying you saw tiny green men fly a galactic Honda over your house.

John Lennon’s 81st birth anniversary: Some lesser-known facts, quotes of the legend
Musician John Lennon met Paul McCartney in 1957 and invited McCartney to join his music group. They eventually formed the most successful songwriting partnership in musical history. Lennon left the Beatles in 1969, and later released albums with his wife, Yoko Ono, among others.
As a child, Lennon was a prankster and he enjoyed getting into trouble. As a boy and young adult, he enjoyed drawing grotesque figures and cripples. Lennon’s school master thought that he could go to an art school for college since he did not get good grades in school but had artistic
Government entities represented the most targeted sector by hackers since mid-2020, according to Microsoft, which released its annual Digital Defense Report Thursday.
The 130-page report details worldwide threat activity distilled by Microsoft from July 2020 through June 2021 and found 48% of all attacks involved governments—far higher than any other sector.
New hacks reveal tech secrets in spreading guerrilla war - The Washington Post
A chain of recent, devastating hacks is exposing some of the Internet's most fiercely guarded secrets, stepping up a guerrilla struggle between tech firms and anonymous hackers and raising fears that everyday Internet users could get caught in the crossfire.
Hackers this week dumped a colossal haul of data stolen from Twitch, the Amazon-owned streaming site, revealing what they said was not just the million-dollar payouts for its most popular video game streamers but the site's entire source code — the DNA, written over a decade, central to keeping
Google to give security keys to ‘high risk’ users targeted by government hackers
Google has said it will provide 10,000 “high-risk” users with free hardware security keys, days after the company warned thousands of Gmail users that they were targeted by state-sponsored hackers .
The warning, sent by Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG), alerted more than 14,000 Gmail users that they had been targeted in a state-sponsored phishing campaign from APT28, also known as Fancy Bear, said to be made up of operatives of Russia’s GRU intelligence agency.

The hacks were widely publicized after their discovery late last year, and American officials have blamed Russia's SVR foreign intelligence service, which denies the activity. But little has been disclosed about the spies' aims and successes.
The open source world and Chinese manufacturing have a long relationship. Some fifteen years ago, the big topic was how companies could open-source their hardware designs and not get driven bankrupt by competition from overseas.
Maybe ten years ago, Chinese firms started picking up interesting hacker projects and producing them. This gave us hits like the AVR transistor tester and the NanoVNA .
Twitch hackers plaster platform with images of Jeff Bezos' face - Dot Esports
Just a couple of days after the massive data leak that included Twitch’s source code and information on streamer earnings, hackers plastered the platform with pictures of Jeff Bezos’ face today.

An army of more than 4,000 marching doglike robots is a vaguely menacing sight, even in a simulation. But it may point the way for machines to learn new tricks.
From a distance, the resulting scenes resemble an army of ants wriggling across a large area. During training, the robots were able to master walking up and down stairs easily enough; more complex obstacles took longer.

Carefully Partition Tasks Between Humans, Robots | SME Media
The pandemic has highlighted the challenges of relying on goods manufactured thousands of miles away from the U.S. by a human workforce. It has accentuated the collision of existing cracks in the supply chain and the immediate delivery online shoppers have become used to.
Because we also have ongoing ambiguity around sanctions on commerce between the U.S. and China, we are starting to see a return of the manufacturing of certain goods back to U.S. soil.

Scientists Train Robots to Map and Clean Up Chernobyl: Photos
Part of that refinement, Scott said, was not just measuring radiation, but training the robots to create a 3D map of the area. These maps, overlaid with radiation data, can help more accurately pinpoint the spread and location of radiation.
Automated systems could have a whole range of applications in the industry. One example: Robots trained to detect differences between radioactive waste types could help humans more accurately and safely identify and dispose of nuclear waste—which would also save money in the process.

Four years ago, China destroyed one of its weather satellites with a missile, creating tens of thousands of pieces of shrapnel, all large enough and traveling fast enough to destroy another satellite or pose a threat to the International Space Station.
Two years later, India joined the list of nations capable of space warfare by destroying one of its own satellites.
