The Bundestag, the lower house of the German congress, conducted a secret penetration test (pen test) against members of parliament by sending phishing emails that supposedly came from the Bundestag administration. While many MPs and their staff members passed the test, Spiegel (machine translated) says that several fell for the faked email and disclosed sensitive information like usernames and passwords. All representatives and their staff eventually received a letter explaining the penetration test, saying, "This is absolutely necessary for an effective defense against real phishing campaigns." However, it also added, "I would like to ask all those who have clicked on the links in the e-mails and, if necessary, entered login credentials and passwords to change their password as a precautionary measure." As one of the leading government bodies in Germany, the Bundestag is a prime target of both state and non-state actors for hacking, and phishing is one of the

As 3D printing continues to become cheaper and more accessible, resin 3D printers have become a popular choice for anyone interested in making highly-detailed models that wouldn't be feasible using a filament-fed, FDM 3D printer. These MSLA (Masked Stereolithography) resin 3D printers typically have a single axis of motion, and this simple mechanical system means these machines can regularly be found for less than $300. With so many models on the market, we've made this list to help you find the best resin 3D printer for you. The best resin 3D printers are capable of making high-resolution models by curing a liquid resin using a UV light source. This MSLA process uses a masking LCD to selectively block the UV light on a pixel-by-pixel basis, allowing these printers to create models that have a resolution of down to .035mm on the XY axes.  This high resolution comes at a price, as parts made on a resin 3D printer require post-processing after printing, and UV resin requires

The PineNote is an E Ink tablet with a 10.3 inch front-lit display, support for EMR stylus input, and a Rockchip RK3566 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Like most E Ink tablets, it's designed for reading and writing… but unlike most, it's also designed to be a customizable device that's not locked down to running a single operating system. When Pine64 first launched a PineNote Developer Edition a few years ago, it didn't really ship with any operating system at all – the idea was to get hardware into the hands of developers who could build software for the platform. Now the company is preparing take pre-orders for a new PineNote Community Edition that will come with a pre-loaded operating system, but which is still really aimed at developers and enthusiasts. Don't expect the experience to be as polished as what you'd expect from an Amazon, Kobo, reMarkable, or Onyx BOOX device, at least not at launch. PineNote Community Edition pre-orders start

Vision Pro users will soon be able to view spatial photos and videos in Safari, according to PetaPixel. The photography site did an interview with Apple product manager Della Huff and designer Billy Sorrentino, who shared that Apple is bringing spatial photo and spatial video support to Safari. Later this year, web developers will be able to add spatial photos and videos to their websites, which will be viewable in 3D on the Vision Pro. Spatial photos and videos can be captured with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, as well as all four iPhone 16 models and the Vision Pro itself. Note that spatial photo support for the ‌iPhone 15‌ Pro is coming in iOS 18.1, set to be released next week. With Vision Pro and visionOS 2, even existing photos can have added depth. As of right now, spatial photos and videos can only be viewed on Vision Pro when they're sent to you directly via Messages, email, or AirDrop, which makes it difficult to see content from other people. Browser support for

Intel has released the company's Core Ultra 200S (codenamed Arrow Lake) in the shape of the K-series chips, such as the Core Ultra 9 285K, which competes against the best CPUs. The non-K SKUs will arrive later; Benchleaks has uncovered an unannounced Core Ultra 7 265 in a Geekbench 6 GPU result. The test seems to have been run on a Lenovo desktop with the unlocked, lower-power version of Intel's recently released Core Ultra 7 265K. However, Geekbench identified the Lenovo PC as "LENOVO F," which isn't a model name, making it hard to figure out what sort of desktop the Core Ultra 7 265 ran in. However, the PC is equipped with 32GB of RAM and an RTX 4060, which indicates it might be a midrange gaming PC. Unfortunately, since this is a Geekbench 6 GPU result, there's no data on how the Core Ultra 7 265 performed, but the chip's specifications were revealed. As expected, the Core Ultra 7 265 has the same eight P-cores and 12 E-cores as the Core Ultra 7 265K

There are a growing number of graphics docks that allow you to add a discrete GPU to a laptop, handheld, or mini PC by connecting to a Thunderbolt, USB4, or OCuLink port. But Chinese mini PC maker Beelink has taken a different approach with its Beelink Ex Docking Station. First unveiled earlier this year, the  159 graphics dock connects directly to a PCIe connector on supported computers like the Beelink GTi12 and Beelink GTi14. Now Beelink has open sourced the design for anyone who wants to modify the dock or make their own. The company made the announcement in a social media post noting that the "interface definitions, technical specifications

On October 28, Apple is expected to release macOS Sequoia‌ 15.1, bringing to Macs the first Apple Intelligence features such as Writing Tools, new Siri features, Smart Replies, and more. In addition, macOS 15.1 adds a handful of welcome tweaks and improvements to existing Mac capabilities. Here's what we can expect from the first major update to macOS Sequoia later this month. Note that Apple Intelligence features require Macs powered by Apple silicon. iPhone Mirroring Drag and Drop Support One of the most anticipated iPhone Mirroring features coming in macOS 15.1 is support for drag and drop. After updating to the new software, you will be able to drag files from an ‌iPhone‌ to a Mac and vice versa. ‌iPhone‌ Mirroring makes file transfers between devices effortless, even when the ‌iPhone‌ is locked and charging. With an iPhone running iOS 18.1, you can drag files, such as photos, from your Mac directly to the open Photos app on your ‌iPhone‌, and they'll transfer

Microsoft's regulatory filing revealed that its CEO, Satya Nadella, received a $79.1 million compensation package for this year, increasing his salary package by 63% compared to 2023. According to Reuters, Nadella hit this milestone with the help of his stock awards when Microsoft's market cap jumped to over $3 trillion due to its investment in AI technology. Note that the $71 million figure is just based on Nadella's stock awards, which were just $39 million last year. Aside from this amount, he also received a $5.2-million cash incentive, an over 50% reduction from the $10.7 million he was entitled to due to massive cybersecurity breaches involving the Redmond company. However, even though Microsoft is on a roll with its AI investment, other arms of the company haven't been performing as well. This is especially true as its gaming studios have suffered massive layoffs. Three months after it finished its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft laid off 1 ,900

 N ews comes months after the Trump campaign said it was targeted by Iran  Chinese hackers are believed to have targeted the cellphones of former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance. Sources indicate that the Trump/Vance campaign learned this week that their phone numbers were among those potentially compromised, although it's still unclear what specific access, if any, was gained to the devices. Investigators are currently assessing the situation to determine the extent of the breach.  The FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a joint statement addressing the unauthorized access to telecommunications infrastructure affiliated with the People's Republic of China but refrained from naming the Trump/Vance campaign as a specific target. They acknowledged ongoing malicious activities targeting the telecommunications sector and reported that after identifying these activities, the FBI and CISA provided technical assistan
