China has created “self-replicating” drones - they break up into independent devices in the shape of a maple seed

It is obvious that in the future the use of drones will be mainly swarming. Chinese scientists went even further and thought about a platform that would instantly turn a single device into a swarm. This would provide an advantage, for example, for work under emergency conditions. Nature helped in creating such a platform; the aerodynamics of a maple seed turned out to be the best solution.

Malicious applications for working with crypto wallets identified in Snap Store

In the Snap Store application catalog, maintained by Canonical and promoted for use in Ubuntu, 10 applications were identified that were styled as official clients for popular cryptocurrency wallets, but in fact were not related to the developers of these projects and performed malicious actions. Moreover, in the catalog these applications are labeled “Safe”, which creates the illusion that the application has been verified […]

SAP and NVIDIA will accelerate the implementation of generative AI in enterprise applications

NVIDIA and SAP announced an expanded collaboration to accelerate the adoption of generative AI in the enterprise sector. The parties intend to jointly develop the SAP Business AI platform, including scalable applications specific to the business area. We are talking, in particular, about SAP cloud solutions.

NVIDIA H100 accelerators will form the basis of the Japanese ABCI-Q supercomputer for quantum computing

NVIDIA announced that its technologies will form the basis of the new Japanese supercomputer ABCI-Q, designed for research in the field of quantum computing. The platform, in particular, will be used to test hybrid systems combining classical and quantum technologies. The deployment of the complex will be carried out by Fujitsu Corporation. The machine will be located at the ABCI (AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure) supercomputing center of the National Institute of Advanced […]

Kiddy - Linux kernel module for protection against script kiddy

Kiddy is a module for the Linux kernel designed to reduce the risk of exploiting (some) kernel vulnerabilities. The protection mechanism implemented in this module is based on a simple idea, which is that during the attack, the target of the attack is somehow identified. Therefore, if such identification is made difficult, the complexity of operation can be multiplied, because in many cases […]

First release of TileOS 1.0 distribution

The TileOS 1.0 "T-Rex" distribution is now available, built on the Debian package base and offering a desktop using tiled window managers. TileOS pursues the same goals as the Ubuntu Sway Remix distribution (developed by the same author), offering a ready-to-use interface that does not require additional configuration and is aimed at both experienced Linux users and beginners who want […]
