  • [The quantum chip] solved a benchmark problem in minutes that would have taken the best computer in the world 10 septillion years, so more than a trillion trillion, or one with 25 zeros on the end, more than the age of the universe.

  • The ecosystem of marketplaces for Chinese-speaking crypto scammers hosted on the messaging service Telegram have now grown to be bigger than ever before, according to a new analysis from the crypto tracing firm Elliptic. Despite a brief drop after Telegram banned two of the biggest such markets in early 2025, the two current top markets, known as Tudou Guarantee and Xinbi Guarantee, are together enabling close to $2 billion a month in money-laundering transactions, sales of scam tools like stolen data, fake investment websites, and AI deepfake tools, as well as other black market services as varied as ...

    @perry condivido quasi tutto. Sul passaggio dei 007 della nato, mi riservo il dubbio. Innanzitutto sono affermazioni senza possibilità di contraddittorio (2028 forse 2029, facciamo a capodanno del 29 così non sbagliano?), in secondo luogo vi è la necessità di fare digerire agli europei le spese folli per il #rearmeurope a scapito di sanità e welfare.

    #Microsoft is clearly becoming desperate due to low adoption rates of #Copilot.Apparently, Microsoft is now pushing Copilot to all #Microsoft365 personal subscribers and calling it a "subscription price increase". Only when you decide to cancel your subscription are you presented with the option to switch to "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" without Copilot (and nearly the old price). The classic plan is not presented as an option unless you try to cancel your subscription.This is a classic scammy trick: Modify the existing plan and add the feature no one wants and hide the old plan from view. Presto, now you have an insane adoption rate you can present to investors as a great success.I personally don't use Microsoft subscription services, so I don't know if they tried this bullshit in the EU, but if they did, they're asking for trouble. They got sued in Australia over this already: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/microsoft-in-court-for-allegedly-misleading-millions-of-australians-over-microsoft-365-subscriptions "Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions"EDIT: It seems that at least in some areas/situations the "classic" non-AI version is actually even more expensive. This isn't exactly making the situation any better of course.

    I use #fdroid but #google may be enforcing #developer registration in #android soon. This has the potential to end F-Droid altogether. Well this is definitely inconvenient. Hopefully some solutions and workarounds are available, up to and including new #mobile OSes.#apple is just as nefarious as Google when it comes to #user #privacy.https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/29/googles_dev_registration_plan_will/?td=readmore#technews #smartphone
