ENISA takes on the role of Root in the European Cybersecurity Initiative (CVE).

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has taken on the role of Root within the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) programme, becoming the main point of reference for national authorities, EU CSIRTs and partners falling within its mandate. The new role expands on the Agency’s existing functions as Vulnerability Numbering Authority (CNA), which is responsible for assigning CVE identifiers and publishing the related records for reports managed by European CSIRTs, an operational role that has been active since January 2024. ENISA Executive Director Juhan Lepassaar highlighted how this change strengthens the Agency’s ability to support vulnerability management within the Union, contributing

Be careful when using SSDs! Without power, you risk data loss

XDA Developers reminds us that using solid-state drives for long-term storage is risky. If SSDs are left without power for years, data can become corrupted or even disappear entirely. Unlike HDDs , which store data on magnetized platters, SSDs write information by changing the electrical charge in NAND flash cells . Flash memory is considered non-volatile: data is retained even after power is lost. However, the length of time an SSD can reliably store data without being connected to a power source is limited. According to Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) specifications, even inexpensive drives with QLC NAND can retain data

Quantum Computing vs. Artificial Intelligence: Which Will Really Change the Future?

Quantum mechanics remains a complex and mysterious field, both difficult to explain and difficult to understand. This branch of physics studies the unusual behavior of tiny particles, phenomena that are opening up new scientific possibilities with potentially revolutionary applications. Despite the pronouncements and investments of tech giants like Microsoft and Google, quantum computing remains less visible compared to the growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Generally, while AI is predominantly software-oriented and relies on existing hardware, quantum technology requires specialized physical devices such as sensors and quantum computers, which are still bulky, expensive, and rare today. Brian Hopkins , vice president and

Satoshi Nakamoto’s Net Worth Drops 34% as Cryptocurrency Crash

The net worth of Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious figure known as the founder of Bitcoin, has dropped 34% in the last month due to the recent virtual asset crash . Industry analysts say this isn’t simply a price correction, but rather a sign that the cryptocurrency market’s resilience is faltering due to structural factors such as the AI bubble controversy, uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve’s interest rates, and the risks of quantum computing. According to Benzinga, Nakamoto’s estimated wealth fell from its October peak of $137 billion to its current value of $90.7 billion on the 24th (local time). The overall

John von Neumann: The Multifaceted Genius of 20th-Century Science

We meet the man considered one of the most multifaceted and brilliant scientists of the last century, perhaps equal only to Einstein. He possessed a wide range of scientific talents, developed in part thanks to a stimulating environment; indeed, in those years, Hungary offered a very flourishing mathematical landscape. These abilities were discovered by his math teacher, László Rátz, a renowned professor at a Lutheran school in Budapest. Neumann’s knowledge spanned mathematics, physics, chemistry, and algebra, to name a few. His innovative ideas and kaleidoscopic mind generated and brought to life new solutions that still form the basis of the technological tools

Hallucination in Artificial Intelligence: Between Strange and Disturbing Errors

Hallucinating, for a human, means perceiving things that aren’t actually present in our environment. When we talk about “hallucinations” in artificial intelligence (AI), we’re referring to a situation in which an AI model “sees” or “interprets” something that isn’t actually present in the data . But how can a machine “hallucinate”? Let’s find out. An artificial intelligence model, like a neural network, somewhat emulates the functioning of neurons in the human brain. These models learn from large volumes of data and, through this learning, develop the ability to perform tasks such as recognizing images, interpreting language, and much more. An AI model

Remember NVIDIA DGX Spark? Here comes the GMKtec EVO-X2, at half the price.

Chinese manufacturer GMKtec has presented its new EVO-X2 mini PC , equipped with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor , claiming performance comparable – and in some cases superior – to that of the NVIDIA DGX Spark mini supercomputer, but at a significantly lower price. The DGX Spark was officially launched after nearly a year of development, priced at $3,999 . GMKtec, on the other hand, offers its EVO-X2 at less than half the cost of the NVIDIA model. In internal tests published on the official GMKtec blog, the EVO-X2 mini PC was pitted against the DGX Spark on several large open

Google Gemini 3.0: New features and updates for the year’s most anticipated AI assistant

Over the past week, Google announced that the Gemini Assistant can now natively integrate YouTube and Google Maps services without the need to use specific commands like “@YouTube” or “@Google Maps.” This change marks a step toward a more seamless and ” natural ” interaction with AI within the Google ecosystem , reducing friction between users and different services. For the average user, this means they can ask “play a video about…” or “take me to…” without having to worry about the correct prefix. At the same time, new rumors are emerging regarding the next evolution of the Gemini model, labeled as

They told you 6G would be fast, right? But they didn’t tell you the whole truth

It’s not “ just faster ”: 6G changes the very nature of the network! When we talk about 6G, we risk reducing everything to a speed upgrade, as if the network of the future were simply a 5G with more horsepower. In reality, the leap isn’t about bandwidth, but about how the network will perceive the world. For the first time, a mobile network will not simply transmit and receive signals, but will also observe its environment to operate correctly.
