The Federal Communications Commission voted 2-1 along party lines on Thursday
to scrap rules that required U.S. phone and internet giants to meet certain minimum cybersecurity requirements.
The FCC’s two Trump-appointed commissioners, chairman Brendan Carr and his Republican colleague Olivia Trusty,
voted to withdraw the rules that require telecommunications carriers to “secure their networks from unlawful access or interception of communications.”
The Biden administ…

Despite Chinese hacks, Trump's FCC votes to scrap cybersecurity rules for phone and internet companies | TechCrunch
Two Trump-appointed FCC officials voted to undo the telecom industry's cybersecurity rules. One Democratic commissioner dissented, saying the decision leaves the United States "less safe" at a time when threats are increasing.

I'm sure that Tesla fee is more than covered by the passive income that's coming from operating as autonomous taxis while their owners sleep.

Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee
With falling sales and shrinking profits, the recurring revenue will be most welcome.

Maintaining accurate timing in virtual machines has always been a challenge. Especially on hosts with many VMs.
Here's a clever solution, hopefully coming soon to a hypervisor or OS near you.

Key cybersecurity takeaways from the 2026 NDAA
A 4.1% increase in military cyber funding in the FY2026 NDAA budget underpins new requirements for hardened mobile devices, AI security frameworks, and expanded DoD cyber workforce authorities.

At an undetermined point in the future, the Commission intends to establish requirements that align uni- bidirectional charging capabilities with relevant grid codes and communication protocols, as is already required for charging infrastructure.

A low-latency neural inference framework for real-time handwriting recognition from #EEG signals on an edge device https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-24972-y

A low-latency neural inference framework for real-time handwriting recognition from EEG signals on an edge device - Scientific Reports
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) hold significant promise for restoring communication in individuals with severe motor or speech impairments. Imagined handwriting, as a form of motor imagery, offers an intuitive paradigm for character-level neural decoding. While invasive techniques such as electrocorticography (ECoG) offer high decoding accuracy, their surgical requirements pose clinical risks and hinder scalability. Non-invasive alternatives like electroencephalography (EEG) are safer and m…

New U.S. security strategy calls for regime change in Europe
In this video, I discuss the new U.S. national security strategy, which, to put it mildly, is concerning for Europe. It's largely a document about how the Trump administration sees it as a requirement for continued transatlantic cooperation that MAGA movements come to power in European countries. Watch the

Eyewitnesses say Iranian government forces have begun opening fire,
apparently with automatic weapons and at times seemingly indiscriminately,
on unarmed protesters.
Hospital workers say protesters had been coming in with pellet injuries but now arrive with gunshot wounds and skull fractures.
One doctor called it a “mass-casualty situation.”
Despite the communications blockade, a recurring image has made its way out of Iran:
rows and rows of body bags.

As many as 3,000 feared dead as witnesses describe government forces firing on unarmed protesters.

The Trump administration is arguing that requiring real-time American Sign Language interpretation of events like White House press briefings
“would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,”
part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.
Department of Justice attorneys haven’t elaborated on how doing so might hamper the portrayal Trump seeks to present to the public.
But overturning p…

White House says sign language services 'intrude' on Trump's public image
The Trump administration argues that providing real-time American Sign Language interpretation for events like White House press briefings would intrude on the president’s control over his public image. This stance is part of a lawsuit filed by the National Association for the Deaf, which claims the lack of ASL interpretation denies deaf Americans access to important communications. The Justice Department suggests alternatives like online transcripts and closed captioning provide what's neede…
