Linus has released 6.9-rc5 for testing. But if you ignore those oddities, it all looks pretty normal and things appear fairly calm. Which is just as well, since the first part of the week I was on a quick trip to Seattle, and the second part of the week I've been doing a...
One of the most common forms of cyberattack is credential stuffing, using exposed details on different sites to exploit the fact that people frequently reuse passwords. Proton Mail is introducing a new Dark Web Monitoring feature that will alert customers if their...

Okian Warrior writes: For $10,000, you can now get a flamethrower mounted on a robotic dog. Just load the webpage and scroll down. I saw this on the news today. *Definitely* we need to have a conversation about where AI is going. The robot, called the Thermonator, is...
Decades after her dad’s iconic sports car time-traveled into movie history, Kat DeLorean wants to build a modern remake. There’s just one problem: Someone else owns the trademark on her name.

YouTuber Max Fosh has made the rounds here at Boing Boing a couple of times, and not for nothing. Whether it's hiring the SAS for a game of paintball or working as an Uber Eats deliveryman on horseback, he's often up to something as bizarre as it is creative- and this time...
