A critical security flaw in OpenAI’s new Atlas browser puts users at high risk of code execution attacks and persistent memory manipulation.

There are few blockchains shaping the Web3 narrative as visibly as BNB Chain. Over the past months, the network has evolved from a DeFi-heavy ecosystem into one leading innovations across prediction markets, DEX infrastructure, and tokenized finance. From the launch of Aster Perp DEX to the emergence of new prediction markets such as Myriad, and the development of a dedicated oracle layer to serve these products, BNB Chain has kept its builder community buzzing. All this comes as CZ — the ecosystem’s founder figure — received a long-awaited presidential pardon from Donald Trump, a move that sparked renewed confidence across…

The company has since invested over $13 billion in the ChatGPT maker.But getting that first investment deal across the finish line wasn’t that straightforward, Nadella said in an interview with “TPBN,” a tech-focused YouTube show, on Tuesday.”Even at Microsoft, you kind of got to have to get a board approval to just go throw a billion…

Credit: International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever assembled. This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of our Milky Way galaxy, revealing it across a wide range of radio wavelengths, the colors of radio light. A paper describing this work appears in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia. It provides astronomers with new ways to explore the birth, evolution, and death of stars in our galaxy.

Key Takeaways Inflation, measured by the consumer price index (CPI) that older Americans actually face, has often been higher than Social Security’s annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). This is creating a gap, which stems from the inflation measure the feds use, that erodes purchasing power. Those on Social Security will be getting bigger checks this January—2.8% bigger. But groceries, medicine, and housing might be rising faster for older adults, about 3.1%, according to the inflation measure favored by many experts. That mismatch is perhaps why only 22% of Americans 50+ told AARP the cost of living adjustment (COLA) would be…
