Как минимум они известны персоналу провайдеров wi-fi или LTE, а это может поставить под угрозу атаки сервер приложений (или входящий прокси этого сервера). Как можно минимизировать потенциальный ущерб от такого знания? Вперед, к снипплетам Read more ›

Full-year 2026 bookings are now projected at $7.33 billion to $7.60 billion, a... Read more ›

It cites OpenAI's $1.5 billion joint venture with private-equity firms, Anthropic's $200 million contribution to a private-equity firm joint venture, and Google's $750 million subsidization of Gemini's adoption by consulting firms. "These agreements muddy the distinction between a company's sound growth trajectory... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: In a makeshift demonstration kitchen in Concord, California, cooking oil splatters in and around a frying pan, which catches fire on an unattended gas stove. Within moments, a smoke detector wails.
