LG TVs caught spying even when offline or on standby
A new investigation from Gamers Nexus, in partnership with Level1Techs and independent security researchers, reveals that LG smart TVs constantly scan Wi-Fi networks, record audio, and sample video content even when in standby or offline mode. Packet captures show the TVs logging nearby devices and uploading data, raising serious privacy concerns. The report tested retail LG OLED models.

AI CuratedNEC has quietly quit quantum computing hardware development, report claims — company says it will continue to evaluate practical applications and industrialization of quantum technologies
According to Diamond Online, NEC quietly wound down its quantum computer hardware program in March 2026, with several researchers including a key leader moving to Fujitsu. NEC was a pioneer in superconducting qubits, but it appears to see commercial quantum hardware as too distant and capital-intensive. NEC says it will continue evaluating practical applications, industrialization, and proof-of-concept projects.
Google maps entire brain and central nervous system of adult male fruit fly, software engineers immediately make it run Doom — AI-powered 3D model of over 166,000 neurons can also play Super Mario 64
Google and HHMI Janelia mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly using AI to combine 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing over 166,000 neurons. Within days, software engineers used the open-source connectome to train the fly brain to play Doom and Super Mario 64, feeding game frames to sensory neurons and mapping neural activity to controls. The story pairs a genuine scientific milestone with a playful software-engineering stunt.
