Apple disables Advanced Data Protection for new UK users. Paying ransoms is not as cut and dried as we might imagine. Elon Musk's "X" social media blocks "Signal.me" links. Spain's soccer league blocks Cloudflare and causes a mess. Two new (and rare) vulnerabilities discovered in OpenSSH. The U.S. seems unable to evict Chinese attackers from its Telecom systems. What are those Chinese "Salt Typhoon" hackers doing to get in? The largest (by far) cryptocurrency heist in history occurred Friday. Ex-NSA head says the U.S. is falling behind on the cyber front lines. We have the winner (and a good one) replacement term for "backdoor". A look at a pathetic access control system that begs to be hacked (and will be).

In this episode of This Week in Space, hosts Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik discuss the latest space news, including a potentially hazardous asteroid, SpaceX's plans to launch and land in the Bahamas, and the ongoing debate surrounding the retirement of the International Space Station. They also touch on NASA's budget cuts, the search for extraterrestrial life, and the development of new radiation protection technology for deep space missions.
- Asteroid 2024 YR4: While initially considered a potential threat, the chances of this asteroid impacting Earth have significantly decreased as more data has been collected. Rod and Tariq discuss the changing odds and the importance of tracking near-Earth objects.
- NASA budget cuts: The hosts discuss the proposed 20% budget cut for the James Webb Space Telescope and its potential impact on the groundbreaking observatory's operations and scientific output.
- Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Moon lander: Launched weeks ago, the lander is now in lunar orbit and scheduled to land on or about March 2nd, carrying 10 experiments to Mare Crisium. With several other lunar missions on the horizon, including those from Intuitive Machines and Japan's iSpace, the hosts discuss the exciting developments in the new lunar exploration era.
- SpaceX in the Bahamas: Elon Musk's company is in talks with the Bahamian government about launching and landing rights. The hosts speculate on the reasons behind this move and its potential implications for future missions.
- The retirement of the ISS: Elon Musk suggests de-orbiting the station as soon as possible and to press on to Mars, while others argue for maintaining it until suitable replacements are ready.
- "Stranded" astronauts controversy: The hosts address the recent claims that astronauts Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore were "stranded" or "abandoned" on the ISS due to political motives. They clarify the situation and express their disappointment with the misleading narrative.
- Radiation shielding technology: The development of 3D-printed hydrogels offers a promising solution for protecting astronauts from harmful radiation during deep space missions. The hosts explore the potential applications and benefits of this innovative technology.
- Search for Extraterrestrial Life: The COSMIC project, working with the Very Large Array telescope, has been using advanced computer processing to seek out focused radio transmissions that might indicate the presence of alien civilizations. While no signals of interest have been found yet, the search continues, and the project serves as a valuable educational tool for aspiring radio astronomers.
- NASA workforce reduction: While NASA has not yet implemented the anticipated workforce reduction, the hosts discuss the potential impact of such cuts on the agency's future and the importance of maintaining a skilled workforce in the face of increasing competition from China.

In this episode, Mikah Sargent is joined by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of The Verge to discuss NVIDIA's work on an AI platform for American Sign Language and her review of the Skylight Calendar Max. Zac Hall of 9to5Mac talks about the new iPhone 16e, and Scott Stein of CNET discusses the end of the Humane AI Pin.
- NVIDIA is collaborating with the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday to develop Signs, an online platform that uses AI to help people practice and understand American Sign Language. The platform aims to create a validated dataset to account for variations in signing and provide real-time feedback to learners.
- Jennifer reviews the Skylight Calendar Max, a 27-inch digital touchscreen display for managing family schedules. She finds the AI-powered Sidekick feature, which can parse various data formats to create calendar events, to be incredibly useful and a potential glimpse into the future of AI in smart home devices.
- Zac Hall discusses the newly announced iPhone 16e, which replaces the iPhone SE 3 and iPhone 14. Priced at $599, it offers a modern design with Face ID and an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence features, making it a compelling upgrade for those with older iPhones.
- The Humane AI pin is being sold to HP for $116 million, and users will lose access to its services on February 28th, 2025, with no recourse or refunds for most customers. Scott Stein shares his experience reviewing the AI pin, its shortcomings, and his thoughts on the future of AI-augmented devices and their relationship with smartphones.

In this episode of iOS Today, hosts Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard show viewers the powerful photo and video editing capabilities available on iOS and iPadOS devices. They explore both built-in editing features and third-party applications that can enhance one's photo editing experience.
Built-in Video Editing Tools: Mikah demonstrates how iOS lets you quickly mirror, rotate, crop, and trim videos without needing third-party software, saving significant time compared to desktop video editors. Built-in Photo Editing Tools: Rosemary walks through editing photos with the Photos app, showing how to adjust Live Photos (turning them into loops, bounces, or long exposures), adjust styles, make exposure adjustments, and crop images. Live Photo Key Frame Selection: Rosemary demonstrates how to select the best frame from a Live Photo to ensure everyone's eyes are open or to capture the perfect moment. Clean Up Tool: The built-in cleanup feature uses Apple Intelligence to remove unwanted elements from photos, which Rosemary demonstrates by removing a clip from a keyboard image. Markup Tools: Rosemary shows how to use built-in markup tools to add shapes, text, and annotations to images when explaining something to someone. Copy/Paste Edits: A useful feature that lets you copy edits from one photo and paste them to others, especially helpful when selling items online and maintaining consistent white balance. Annotable App: Mikah showcases this powerful annotation tool that offers features like magnification loops with adjustable positions, redaction tools, text tools, arrows, and shapes for detailed annotations. Picsew App: Rosemary demonstrates this screenshot management tool that automatically stitches screenshots together, removes status bars and scroll bars, adds device frames, and helps keep a photo library organized. CleanMyPhone App: Rosemary mentions this app (formerly Gemini) that helps identify similar shots and duplicates to clean up the photo library. Pixelmator/Photomator: Rosemary highlights these powerful photo editing apps (recently acquired by Apple) that bring Photoshop-like capabilities to iOS and iPadOS, allowing for layer-based editing with advanced blending modes for just $4.99.Shortcuts Corner

Clavius. The very mention of this vast lunar crater brings to mind spectacular images from "2001: A Space Odyssey"— landing spacecraft, alien monoliths, and more. But more immediately, Clavius may be the ideal place to build our first lunar base, and Dr. Pascal Lee rejoins us to explain why. Notably, Clavius is not on NASA's dance card as a first-siting consideration but Lee thinks it should be, for many reasons, including interesting lunar geology, possible sites for permanent settlements—including lava tubes, excellent prospects for transportation infrastructure, and much more. Join us for a fascinating look at the near future at Clavius Base!
Headlines:
• Blue Origin lays off 10% of its workforce to shift focus to operational flights and Moon lander
• NASA alters Vera Rubin Observatory biography of namesake astronomer Vera Rubin to remove mentions of her advocacy for women in science, amid the Trump administration push to eliminate DEI references
• Beautiful iridescent clouds captured on Mars by the Curiosity rover
• Northern Lights visible on Valentine's Day due to coronal hole triggering geomagnetic stormMain Topic - Lunar Base at Crater Clavius:
• Dr. Pascal Lee proposes establishing a lunar base at the crater Clavius near the Moon's south pole
• Clavius offers key advantages: on the near side of the Moon, geologically diverse, open flat spaces for landing/expansion, access to pits and lava tubes
• Clavius is better suited for a long-term base compared to the harsh environment right at the lunar south pole
• The base would be powered by nuclear reactors; solar considered insufficient for larger bases
• Water ice mining at lunar poles may not be economically viable; estimates require excavating huge amounts of regolith to obtain useful quantities of water
• NASA seems to have concerns about south pole plans; the decision was likely driven more by geopolitical factors than science or engineering
• Building a base at Clavius could inspire the public as life imitates art, echoing the site's depiction in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Desert locations on Earth like Atacama or Sahara could provide ideal locations for field testing lunar mobility systemsHosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik
