A heist at a world famous museum likely evokes images of stealthy cat burglars skulking at night armed with state-of-the-art gadgets, possibly even soundtracked with a cool, jazzy instrumental. But the high-stakes crimes often lack much of the sophistication depicted in the movies. Take the stunningly brazen jewel theft that took place during broad daylight at the Louvre on October 19, for example. The investigation remains in its extremely early phases, but initial reports describe a team of four individuals who positioned a truck with a…
There’s a fluffy robot, about the size of a guinea pig, sitting on my couch, and it’s squeaking. My friend’s dog Wylie sits watching it, suspicious of its every move.Moflin is an AI companion robot made by the Japanese electronics manufacturer Casio. Via the companion app, I have chosen to name this one Puff, because—well—that is what it looks like. Wylie immediately clocks it as something to be wary of, a device that moves on its own but is not alive. Puff squeaks again. Wylie barks, then runs out of the room, growling.When I found out Casio—yes, the same Casio…

When Apple updates its iPhone operating system, it also updates many of the Apple apps that run on top of it too—and the big iOS 26 update that was pushed out to millions of handsets in September comes with a useful new feature for Apple Maps. The feature is called Visited Places, and as you might guess from the name, it keeps track of the locations you’ve been to. Initially, this might seem like a bit of a privacy nightmare, but all this information is end-to-end…

Their very name references their devastating decline—they were the “right” whales for whalers to target, since the animals floated after being killed. Today, their biggest threats are ship collisions and getting tangled in fishing gear. For once, however, there’s good news from the marine conservation community. Estimates for North Atlantic right whale populations are slowly increasing, according to a New England Aquarium statement. Researchers at the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium,…

The elegant magnetic mount for the Nest Cam Outdoor needs a couple of screws, while my Nest Cam Indoor is perched neatly on a shelf.While Google has lagged…
Like many first-time mothers, Lisette Lopez-Rose thought childbirth would usher in a time of joy. Instead, she had panic attacks as she imagined that something bad was going to happen to her baby, and she felt weighed down by a sadness that wouldn’t lift.

What if they took her baby away?At about six months postpartum, she discovered an online network of women with similar experiences and ultimately opened up to her primary care doctor. “About two months after I started…
By default, Google manages your encryption key, but it allows you to set up on-device encryption, which functions similarly to a zero-knowledge architecture. Your passwords are encrypted before being saved on your device, and you manage the key. Regardless of how the encryption works, Google uses AES, which is still the gold standard for security among password managers.It was trivial to decrypt Chrome passwords previously, requiring little more than a Python script and knowledge of where the files are stored. But even there, Google has pushed the security bar up. App-bound encryption has invalidated those methods, and cracking passwords is…
