Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security posted a Halo meme as an ICE recruitment ad, likening immigrants to violent aliens. Microsoft has declined to comment on the twisted rhetoric, but some of the franchise’s former developers voiced their thoughts.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have spotted a very bright and mysterious object that could be a galaxy that emerged just 100 million years after the Big Bang, which would make it the universe’s earliest known galaxy, a new study suggests.Alternatively, Capotauro may be an extraordinary brown dwarf (a “failed star” that is more massive than the largest gas giant planets but not large enough to sustain nuclear fusion in its core) that lives on the outer edges of the Milky Way while smoldering at a mere 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius).Capotauro’s exact identity is not…

Not for the first time this year, Google has been forced to reassure its users that it has not suffered a large-scale data breach that could affect their Gmail accounts. A few months ago the company released an unusual statement intended to put to bed allegations that its email service had been hit with a serious security issue. And it did so again this week, after numerous news outlets published stories suggesting that 183 million passwords may have been compromised in a new breach.Google has since claimed that this isn’t true in posts on X. It says the listed accounts…
The first phones using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC have started to come out last month, following the chipset’s official announcement, and yet if you have, for some reason, been wondering what to expect from its successor, today a few details have been outed.
