You can tap the hamburger menu in the upper-right corner for a quick menu that includes books and pictures like you’d find in the All menu. There’s also Cloud Sync, which lets you see what’s being uploaded or was uploaded over Wi-Fi from the app; USB Drive, which turns on USB Drive mode to upload files instead of Wi-Fi; and Settings. The app is very straightforward, but you’ll need to create an account and pair your device by scanning the QR code displayed on the Xteink.The X4 Pro still tells me I need to pair it to an app (there’s…

Swati KhandelwalAug 07, 2026Network Security / Vulnerability Security researcher Malcolm Stagg has disclosed a new attack class called NatJack that manipulates network address translation (NAT) connection state to hijack active TCP sessions, spoof DNS responses, expose mapped ports, and exhaust NAT tables. Presented at Black Hat USA 2026, the research found affected behavior across independently developed implementations, including Windows and Linux. Two implementation-specific flaws have been assigned CVEs: CVE-2026-56181 (CVSS score: 8.3) in Windows NAT used by Hyper-V, and CVE-2026-63913 (CVSS score: 8.2) in Linux Netfilter conntrack. NatJack generally requires the attacker to have privileged access to a system behind…

On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and most of the attention went straight to the grand idea: America had built a digital Fort Knox, the government would stop selling Bitcoin, and Washington could perhaps add more without charging taxpayers.However, the executive order’s operative language was less glamorous but contained several important details that would determine whether the Strategic Reserve succeeded.Every federal agency had 30 days to give Treasury a full accounting of its digital assets, identify the custodial accounts holding them, and review whether eligible Bitcoin could legally be transferred…

Er, excuse me. Hello? I’m sorry, but would you mind taking your … I SAID, WOULD YOU MIND TAKING THOSE EARPHONES OUT FOR A SECOND, PLEASE?I try, in the main, to be a live-and-let-live kind of person.

The wearer has nothing to learn or gain by listening to anybody else in their vicinity. They would rather be elsewhere, plunged into music or a novel or maybe a noisy pavement phone call, which will remain, sadly…

Plastic contamination should be a central concern in efforts to deal with food waste, which campaigners call one of the most overlooked problems of the climate crisis, researchers have said.This is despite the fact that, as the chef, author and activist Max La Manna puts it, food waste management is “one of the few climate problems where everyone wins”.About one-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted each year, according to UN data. In the US, 40% of food waste goes to landfill, where it creates 30m metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year – more than Cuba’s total annual…

Representative Ed Case, a moderate Democrat from Hawaii, warded off a progressive challenger in his primary race on Sunday, according to The Associated Press.His victory defies a larger trend of left-wing challengers ousting pro-Israel incumbents this year. Mr. Case, 73, is also among the few older, centrist Democrats who have hung onto their seats after serious primary challenges.The strongest of Mr. Case’s primary opponents was Jarrett Keohokalole, a state senator 30 years his junior. Mr. Keohokalole argued that Mr. Case was out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people in Hawaii as the cost of living has skyrocketed, and…
