Two Huawei 5G kit-removal deadlines put back

# data[].attributes.body
The government has extended two deadlines for the removal of Huawei equipment from the UK's 5G networks.
-The requirement to remove the Chinese company's products from the network core has been pushed back 11 months, to 31 December 2023.

And a limit on the amount of Huawei kit in fibre-broadband infrastructure must now be achieved by the end of October,l rather than July, next year.

It follows advice from the National Cyber Security Centre.

The NCSC decided the security of Huawei's products could no longer be managed, in 2020, following a US decision to place the company under sanctions, and the UK government said all its equipment had to be stripped out of the UK by the end of 2027.

This and eight other interim deadlines remain unchanged.
-Know that we need to ensure the security of our phones and internet networks to be safe.
-Recommended as a defense against security threats.

Tesla ordered to recall more than a million US cars

# data[].attributes.body
Tesla is recalling nearly 1.1 million cars in the US because the windows might close too fast and pinch people's fingers.
-Documents produced by American regulators show the windows may not react correctly after detecting an obstruction.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk criticised the description as a recall calling it "outdated and inaccurate".

The car giant says a software update will fix the problem.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the fault is a safety-standards violation.

The world's largest electric-vehicle manufacturer has had repeated run-ins with federal safety regulators, whom Mr Musk calls "the fun police".

Previous recalls have been due to:

rear-view cameras

bonnet latches

seat-belt reminders

sound-system software

The latest recall covers all four Tesla models, specifically 2017-22 Model 3 sedans and some 2020-21 Model Y SUVs (sports utility vehicles), Model S sedans and Model X SUVs.

Tesla discovered the problem with the automatic windows during production testing in August.
-There should be a quality check before the car is actually sold.
-Recommended because some people may use this brand for their own benefit.

MIT Scientists Release Open-Source Photorealistic Simulator for Autonomous Driving

# data[].attributes.body
MIT researchers unveil the first open-source simulation engine capable of constructing realistic environments for deployable training and testing of autonomous vehicles.
- Since they’ve proven to be productive test beds for safely trying out dangerous driving scenarios, hyper-realistic virtual worlds have been heralded as the best driving schools for autonomous vehicles (AVs). Tesla, Waymo, and other self-driving companies all rely heavily on data to enable expensive and proprietary photorealistic simulators, because testing and gathering nuanced I-almost-crashed data usually isn’t the easiest or most desirable to recreate. With this in mind, scientists from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) created “VISTA 2.0,” a data-driven simulation engine where vehicles can learn to drive in the real world and recover from near-crash scenarios. What’s more, all of the code is being released open-source to the public.
- Makes you know how much technology has advanced. But we should not stop developing that technology to make it work better.
- It's not recommended because it's specific.

Researchers have engineered a system for creating remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell. Despite the mechanical devices, ultrathin electronics and flexible materials allow the insects to move freely. These achievements will help make the use of cyborg insects a practical reality. An international team led by researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) reported the results today (September 5, 2022) in the scientific journal npj Flexible Electronics.
- Scientists have been trying to design cyborg insects—part insect, part machine—to help inspect hazardous areas and monitor the environment. For the use of cyborg insects to be practical, however, handlers must be able to control them remotely for long stretches of time. This entails wireless control of their leg segments, powered by a tiny rechargeable battery. Keeping the battery adequately charged is critical—nobody wants a suddenly out-of-control swarm of cyborg cockroaches roaming around. While docking stations for recharging the battery could be built, the need to return and recharge could disrupt time-sensitive missions. Therefore, an optimum approach is to include an onboard solar cell that can continuously ensure that the battery stays charged.
- learned that technology can develop robotic insects to help inspect hazardous areas and monitor the environment
- Recommended because it is new knowledge.

Twitter and Meta take down pro-US propaganda campaign

# data[].attributes.body
Twitter and Meta have removed from their platforms an online propaganda campaign aimed at promoting US interests abroad, researchers say.

This is the first major covert pro-US propaganda operation taken down by the tech giants, says a report by social media analytics firm Graphika and the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO).

They removed dozens of accounts used in the campaign in July and August.
- The researchers say Twitter has identified the US and the UK as the "presumptive countries of origin", while Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said the US was "the country of origin".

However, the researchers were clear that even though the companies named these countries, it did not prove they were behind the campaign.

"We do not have the necessary information to attribute this activity to a single country or organisation," the SIO told the BBC.

"What is clear, is that the activity is meant to further Western interests, including those of the US and allies."

The BBC has approached the US State Department, the UK government, Twitter and Meta for comment.
- Know that don't be fooled by the propaganda that comes from the internet as it can cause damage to yourself and your property.
- Recommended as a guideline for self-defense.

Hackers may have exploited security flaws - Apple

# data[].attributes.body
Apple has released an update to fix security flaws on its iPhone, iPad and Mac devices, which it says hackers may have "actively exploited".
- Apple said hackers used the flaw to infiltrate WebKit, the engine that powers Apple web browser Safari. The technology company said the exploit could be used by hackers if the user accessed "maliciously-crafted web content".

There have so far been no confirmed reports of specific cases where the security flaw has been used against people or devices.
- Software updates are an everyday (and sometimes irritating) part of our modern tech lives, but this is one update not to ignore.
- recommend to everyone because the cybersecurity world is rightly concerned about the potential of hackers who might use their powers if they target devices vulnerable to this attack. So it's worth checking the settings on your Apple device and installing the fix.

A Breakthrough in Dementia Care: AI Can Diagnose Dementia As Accurately as Experts

# data[].attributes.body
A study finds that artificial intelligence for dementia diagnosis is as accurate as medical professionals with expertise in treating neurologic illnesses.The results of recent research have broad implications for dementia treatment.More individuals are surviving into old age globally thanks to improvements in public health over the last several decades. Dementia, notably Alzheimer’s disease, and other conditions that are often linked to aging are as a result seeing a major rise. This might impede the ability to provide prompt treatment to individuals in need, especially in light of a predicted physician shortage in the next decades.
- According to a recent study by researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), computational techniques (artificial intelligence/AI) may be able to help alleviate some of the challenges associated with delivering dementia care to an aging population.“Even in circumstances where a specialized neurologist or neuro-radiologist is busy to directly provide a diagnosis, it is foreseeable that some degree of automation could step in to help, thereby enabling doctors and their patients to plan treatment accordingly,” explains corresponding author Vijaya B. Kolachalama, Ph.D., FAHA, assistant professor of medicine at BUSM.
- Research from the past has shown that AI models can choose between “disease” and “no disease” in a simple manner, but that is not how clinicians treat patients. Rather, they must take into account all potential conditions that could be impacting a patient in their clinic, depending on physical examination, neuropsychological testing, laboratory results, and imaging to establish a distinctive signature that solidifies the diagnosis. This research, in Kolachalama’s opinion, is much more in line with this “real world” situation since it enables a computer to zero down on the actual cause of a patient’s disease even when there are other possibilities.
- Recommend to everyone, it is something that should be paid attention to because it is a health issue that is very close to us. And there should be a government to support this matter.

Russians Building a Satellite-Blinding Laser – An Expert Explains the Ominous Technology

# data[].attributes.body
According to a recent report in The Space Review, Russia is building a new ground-based laser facility for interfering with satellites orbiting overhead. The basic idea is simple: flooding the optical sensors of other nations’ spy satellites with laser light to dazzle them.
Laser technology has evolved to the point where this type of anti-satellite defense is definitely plausible. However, there is limited evidence of any nation successfully testing such a laser.
-  Russian government is able to build it, lasers like this would be capable of shielding a large part of the country from the view of satellites with optical sensors. Worse, the technology also sets the stage for the more ominous possibility of laser weapons that can permanently disable satellites.
- Russia is trying to protect its country from other countries' spy satellites by using laser technology.
-Recommended for certain people who are interested in aerospace engineering. for the process of building a laser factory for use in space
