Eighty-four percent of the brands that researchers studied share or sell this kind of personal data, and only two of them allow drivers to have their data deleted. While it is unclear exactly who these companies share or sell data to, the report points out that there is a huge market for driver data. An automotive data broker called High Mobility cited in the report has a partnership with nine of the car brands Mozilla studied. On its website, it advertises a wide range of data products—including precise location data.This isn’t just a privacy nightmare but a security one. Volkswagen,…
SSRL’s X-ray facilities and transition edge sensor reveal information about the nanodiamond hidden below a silica coating. Irradiated electrons escape from the nanodiamond’s surface, travel through the silica and are collected as signals. The thicker the coating, the fewer electrons make it to the surface. Understanding the chemistry of silica coatings will help researchers optimize silica shells and try other materials as coatings, expanding nanodiamonds’ applications in quantum computing and biolabeling.

Okay, so jeans will probably remain a firm fixture in my wardrobe this summer, but after months of wearing little else, I’m more than ready to shake up my style a bit. And it would appear I’m not the only one who feels that way. If last year was the year of the tailored trouser, then 2023 is absolutely the year of the skirt—I needed only to look to my Instagram feed for proof. Right now, skirts are a recurring theme on the platform, with many of my favourite dressers beginning to embrace the warm, early days of summer with some truly…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s image of Herbig-Haro 211ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, Tom Ray This newborn star is blasting out a pair of extraordinary jets. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured this image of a Herbig-Haro object, which forms when a young star spews powerful winds that smash into surrounding gas and dust at supersonic speeds. The object, called Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), is located about 1000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus. This makes it one of the nearest Herbig-Haro objects we know of. The new image is far more detailed than any that astronomers have…
iPhone models set to be released in 2023 and 2024 that include the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16, will reportedly continue to feature Qualcomm’s recently announced Snapdragon X70 chipset and the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon X75 modem. The upcoming iPhone models for the next two years are tipped to debut without Apple’s 5G modem, which is said to be in development. Qualcomm X75 is expected to be manufactured based on TSMC’s 4nm process, intended to contribute to power efficiency improvements. Earlier in June, another analyst had indicated that Qualcomm would continue to serve as the exclusive supplier of 5G modems for new…
Well, this is a bit of a shocker. HBO has confirmed the demise of the 1980s basketball drama Winning Time. The series wrapped its sophomore run Sunday night and was canceled the same day as the finale. Series showrunner Max Borenstein alluded to the cancellation with a message on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Not the ending that we had in mind. But nothing but gratitude and love,” he wrote. Fans commented their thoughts on the shocking decision below the Tweet. “So sorry Max. I eagerly anticipated each episode and enjoyed the hell out of the series,” said one fan,…

A suspiciously high number of people guess the Wordle word on their first tryEmre Akkoyun/Shutterstock Thousands of people are probably cheating to solve the daily word-guessing game Wordle on the first try – and many more players remain surprisingly loyal to their favourite words. Wordle, now owned by The New York Times, challenges people to guess a five-letter word within six tries and has about 2 million English-language players alone. But every day, far more Wordle players solve the puzzle on their first turn than would be expected by chance, says James Dilger … Read The Full Article Here
What do you do next when you’re the best-selling author of a popular series like the Eve Ronin books? If you’re Lee Goldberg, you start another series at the same time — which is his highly-acclaimed new thriller Malibu Burning (Thomas & Mercer). Oh, and he also has a stand-alone thriller coming out in November. Plus, Eve Ronin #5 soon after that. Wow, talk about being prolific! “That was not planned,” Goldberg laughed when we asked him about his busy publishing schedule. “It just worked out that way. I have three books coming out within eight weeks of each other.”…
“The crux of this exhibition is the marriage of Christian Lacroix’s couture legacy with his passion for the theatre. These costumes exemplify his level of mastery through unimaginable attention to detail,” says Gomes. “[They] have the same technique and skill level as those shown on the runway, manifesting in these layered, textural pieces that emphasize Peer Gynt’s fantasy world. Whether the costumes are lavishly embellished or aged and dyed, Lacroix achieves this in a realistic, well-done way.” Read The Full Article Here

Tangled microplastic fibres from clothing, seen with an electron microscope in false colourSTEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Microplastics may float higher in Earth’s atmosphere than previously thought, posing a risk that they might release chemicals that damage the ozone layer. Small fragments of plastic can travel long distances on air currents, settling in remote locations, but there isn’t good data on just how far they can move. Most simulations assume that the microplastics are small spheres, but they can actually take a variety of irregular shapes, from kinked fibres to tangled complexes with … Read The Full Article Here

You may know by now that we’re big advocates of buying quality over quantity, and well-made shoes do last longer, look better and are likely to be more comfortable. However, because sandals get so battered so quickly (not to mention they become dirty when you’re walking around a city like London every day), I would say this is one shoe type that you can legitimately spend less on and not feel like you’re compromising on style. Like always, make sure you are purchasing wisely. Are your chosen sandals versatile, stylish, comfortable and likely to look just as current next year? All of these…
Engineers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new device that can warn consumers about early risks of tooth decay from diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis, the earliest form of gum disease, is caused by bacteria. But not just any bacteria. The problem for researchers was getting a device to single out the particular type responsible for the disease, said Andrew Steckl, an Ohio Eminent Scholar and distinguished research professor in UC’s College of Engineering and Applied Science. “It’s been quite the challenge to get to the point where we can detect this toxin created by the…
If you’re using alkaline batteries, remove them from the flashlight if it’s going to sit unused for a long time, otherwise they’ll leak and cause problems. Store them near the flashlight so you can easily find them. Try taping the batteries to the flashlight barrel.Pro tip: The best-performing flashlights are built specifically to use lithium-ion batteries or have nonremovable rechargeable batteries, which won’t do you any good if the power is out for a long time. Rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) AA batteries maintain their performance better over the lifetime of the battery, whereas alkalines’ performance drops off more as they…

His son Andrew is a welcome replacement, leading ISA missions in Shane’s stead and trying to find out what his troublemaker of a sister is up to. But according to spoilers on Days of Our Lives, during the week of 9-18-23, Shane will show up at Theresa’s door, eager to straighten out his wayward daughter. Shane’s visit is a welcome surprise. It’s a shame Kim isn’t with him too, but Patsy Pease may not have been available or interested. In any case, I don’t want to look a gift horse…

SUBSCRIBE: Apple | Spotify Sophie Bushwick: Exciting new technology is on the rise, doing the same work that humans can but faster and more cheaply. That’s great news for the people rich enough to buy these machines, but it’s disrupting the lives and livelihoods of less powerful workers. And some of those workers are ready to fight back. I’m talking, of course, about the Luddites, the 19th-century textile workers known for smashing automated machinery. And if you see some similarities between their situation and today’s, when the rise of Big Tech and artificial intelligence is disrupting the labor market and also inspiring a…
