My rating: EasyMy score: 1 mistake

I love the idea of VEGETABLE UNITS being a thing in the way that LAPTOP SPECS are. Maybe they should have Top Trumps cards for them or something. But anyway, that was probably the hardest of the three groups that I solved today, with my brain taking a while to realize that CLOVE, FLORET, SPEAR and STALK were all examples. Whereas I had no problem spotting RAM, RESOLUTION, SPEED and STORAGE, probably because I’m a nerd who’s spent his whole life sat in front of a laptop.

I don’t know that I would have solved the purple group if not by default, frankly. FEATURES OF JUSTICE PERSONIFIED made sense once I saw it, but it’s a relatively obscure reference unless you work in the legal profession or spend a lot of time looking at court buildings, right?

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

The new Rode Wireless Micro is a dual-channel twin mic and receiver kit that’s designed for smartphone content creation.

Rode’s smallest and lightest-ever mic at just 0.42oz / 12gAvailable in black or white versions and for USB-C or Lightning connectionAutomatically controls audio levels for well-balanced sound

Rode has unveiled its smallest-ever wireless mic system, the Wireless Micro. Designed for smartphone content creation, the Wireless Micro is the audio giant’s simplest wireless mic yet, offering next-level audio quality while being cable-free and discreet.

The dual-mic kit includes two mics (otherwise known as transmitters) and one receiver, all of which are stored in a charging case. The entire kit, including the case, weighs just 3.6oz / 102g, with each mic weighing just 0.42oz / 12g and measuring 40 x 20 x 17mm. That’s properly tiny.

To get started, you simply plug the (also tiny) receiver into your smartphone’s charging port, and it’ll sync to the mic(s). Depending on your smartphone, you might first have to manually select the external mic option in your phone camera’s video menu (rather than the phone’s built-in mic), as was the case for me when using a Pixel phone. Otherwise, that’s it – you’re up and running in seconds, equipped with Rode’s Intelligent GainAssist technology for “perfect audio every time”.

The mics can clip onto clothing or attach magnetically, and they’re available in black or white. There are USB-C and Lightning versions of the Wireless Micro for full compatibility with both Android and all iPhone models.

Wind shields are built in as part of Rode’s patent-pending acoustic chamber design, plus there are additional furry windshields in the box that clip around the receiver for clearer outdoor recording on breezy days, although these additional windshields won’t fit into the charging case.

The Wireless Micro’s list price is $149. We’ll update this article with UK and Australia pricing, as well as an on-sale date, as soon as we get this information from Rode.

The smart choice for smartphone content creators

We’ve had some hands-on time with the Rode Wireless Micro, and will share our thoughts soon in a full review. What we can say at this stage is that the Wireless Micro is a breeze to use – you can be up and running, and capturing high-quality audio for your smartphone videos in seconds.

The Wireless Micro boasts a transmission range in excess of 100m, and during testing we were able to connect reliably to an Android phone. The operating time for each mic is a generous seven hours, plus you can recharge the mic’s battery through the charging case, which features a 490mAh battery, effectively extending the overall operating time to 21 hours. Impressive stuff.

You can record video with the Rode Wireless Micro audio through your phone’s camera app, plus it works with the free Rode Capture video recording app, which adds features such as sound-level monitoring. There are pros and cons to working with either of those options, so it’s good to have the choice between the two.

A note for audiophiles: the Wireless Micro has a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range, a maximum 135db SPL, a 73db signal-to-noise ratio and an A-Weighted equivalent noise of 21dBA. Those specs are roughly similar to those of the Rode Wireless ME, a wireless mic that also works with cameras.

Intelligent GainAssist automatically controls audio levels for well-balanced sound, freeing the user to focus on creating. While we’ll need to fully assess audio quality in our review, the Wireless Micro looks like a great addition to Rode’s range of wireless mics. I can see this being one of Rode’s most popular products to date.

There is a way hide malware in ZIP files, depending on which archivers a victim uses.

Crooks can merge multiple ZIP archives into a single fileArchiver software rarely reads, or displays, all of the merged archivesAs a result, crooks can sneak malware onto a device

Hackers are using ZIP file concatenation to bypass security solutions and infect their targets with malware through email messages, experts have warned.

A report from cybersecurity researchers Perception Point outline how they recently observed one such campaign while analyzing a phishing attack.

ZIP file concatenation is a type of attack in which multiple ZIP files are merged into one, in order to trick the archiver programs and antivirus solutions.

Mitigating the problem

As Perception Point explains, the crooks would create two (or more) ZIP archives – one completely benign, maybe holding a clean .PDF file, or something similar, and one carrying the malware. Then, they would append the ZIP files into a single file which, while being shown as one file, contains multiple central directories pointing to different sets of file entries.

Different archivers, such as Winzip, WinRaR, 7zip, and others, handle these types of files differently, allowing crooks to move past cybersecurity solutions and infect the target device. 7zip, for example, only reads the first ZIP archive, which could lead to compromise. It could warn the user about additional data, though. WinRaR reads all ZIP structures and will reveal the malware, while Windows File Explorer only displays the second ZIP archive.

In practice, that would mean the crooks would send out the usual phishing email, “warning” the victim of a pending invoice, or an undelivered parcel. The victim would download and run the attachment, and unknowingly get infected with a trojan, or similar malware.

Perception Point argues that “traditional detection tools” often fail to unpack and fully parse such ZIP files, and suggests its proprietary solution (who woulda thunk?).

“By analyzing every layer recursively, it ensures that no hidden threats are missed, regardless of how deeply they are buried – deeply nested or concealed payloads are revealed for further analysis.”

However, simply being careful with email attachments and not downloading things from unconfirmed sources should keep you secure anyway.

SK hynix has unveiled the launch of new 16-Layer HBM3e chips.

The 16-Layer HBM3e chips are expected to roll-out in 2025New chips offer improved AI learning and inference capabilitiesUsers can expect lower latency, Sk hynix claims

SK hynix has announced plans to add an additional four layers to its 12-HI HBM3e memory chips in a drive to bolster capacity.

The move will see the company increase capacity from 36GB to 48GB, and the semiconductor giant expects to begin distribution of sample products in early 2025.

The announcement could deliver significant performance improvements for organizations ramping up AI development. HBM3e chips have traditionally boasted a maximum of 12 layers, but with the advent of HBM4, users can glean greater performance.

Stacked and ready

Company CEO Kwak Noh-Jung announced the launche during its recent SK AI Summit in Seoul, noting the upgrade will help markedly improve AI learning performance and inference capabilities.

“We stacked 16 DRAM chips to realize 48 GB capacity and applied Advanced MR-MUF technology proven for mass production. In addition, we are developing hybrid bonding technology as a backup process,” he said.

Kwak added initial in-house testing shows the 16-layer HBM3e can improve both AI learning and inference by 18% and 34% respectively compared to previous 12-layer HBM3e

“The 16-layer HBM3E is planned to be commercialized in 2025,” Kwak revealed.

HBM4 offers over 10 Gbps per pin compared to the high-end maximum of 9.2 Gbps offered by its predecessor. All told, this will unlock bandwidth capabilities of up to 1.5 TBps compared to HBM3e’s 1.2-plus TBps.

Moreover, manufacturers expect HBM4 will also deliver lower latency.

Under the hood of the 16-Hi product

In terms of design, the 16-Hi product has been developed using mass reflow-molded underfill (MR-MUF) technology. This next-generation tech can enable warp-free stacking of chips that are 40% thinner than conventional alternatives.

This also delivers improved heat dissipation due to the use of new protective materials, the company said.

Similarly, hybrid bonding has also unlocked marked improvements. This involves directly bonding chips without the need for forming a ‘bump’ between them during stacking, SK hynix noted.

“This reduces the overall thickness of the chip, enabling high stacking,” the company said in an announcement. “SK hynix is looking at both Advanced MR-MUF and hybrid bonding methods for 16-layer and higher HBM products.”

The Beatles’ song that was restored with AI, “Now and Then,” has earned Grammy nominations.

The Beatles have scored Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance for their song “Now and Then,” a ‘lost’ track recovered and restored using AI. This is the first time a song produced with AI assistance has earned such recognition and could portend plenty of arguments ahead over the role of AI in music production.

“Now and Then” was released last year and garnered plenty of attention not only for being a Beatles song most have not heard but also for its AI-infused production. Rumors swirled that surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr used generative AI to clone John Lennon’s voice for the song. That wasn’t true, however. Instead, “stem separation” AI let the producers isolate Lennon’s vocals from an existing demo track that was too low-fidelity to be useful for a real track. The AI tools enhanced Lennon’s voice by removing background noise and tuning up the voice to make the audio better.

It’s a bit like how video call platforms use tech to filter out sounds that are not your voice to ensure the person on the other end of the call can hear you. Companies with a lot of archival audio that isn’t good quality are experimenting with stem separation too, including Disney Music Group.

AI Grammys

The Recording Academy, which gives out the Grammys, has been engaged in trying to work out how to incorporate AI used for music production into its infrastructure. Last year, CEO Harvey Mason Jr. spoke at length about AI and even held a roundtable with record labels, streaming services, artists, and the developers of AI for making music. Apps that use AI to make music, like Tad.AI, Suno, and Udio all face the issue of lawsuits from major music labels, which is only likely to get more complex if questions about award eligibility come into play.

Unless you’re in the music business, “Now and Then” is just a nice way to get a little more Beatles music with the aid of modern technology. Whether it’s an omen of a new way of making and selling music is still up in the air. As one of the most popular bands of all time, The Beatles are something of an outlier.

The nominations for “Now and Then” are The Beatles’ first Grammy nominations in decades, for obvious reasons. They’ve been nominated a total of four times for Record of the Year now. But “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “Hey Jude,” and “Let It Be” all lost the Grammy. With some AI boosting, “Now and Then” might change that losing streak.

The company advises users replace affected endpoints with newer models.

A critical vulnerability has been found in multiple D-Link modelsSince the devices have reached end-of-life status, they won’t be patchedMitigations are available, although users are advised to replace the devices

D-Link says it won’t fix a critical vulnerability plaguing tens of thousands of network-attached storage (NAS) devices because they have reached their end of life.

Recently, a vulnerability with a 9.2 severity score (critical) was found in multiple models of D-Link NAS devices. Tracked as CVE-2024-10914 it was described as a command injection exploit that allows threat actors to inject arbitrary shell commands. By sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the device, the crooks could cause significant system compromise, remotely.

While the researchers say the exploitation is somewhat difficult since the complexity of an attack is relatively high, they did stress that there is a publicly available exploit out there.

Mitigating the problem

In total, there are more than 60,000 endpoints out there that could be compromised via this flaw, it was further explained. That includes multiple models, such as:

DNS-320 Version 1.00
DNS-320LW Version 1.01.0914.2012
DNS-325 Version 1.01, Version 1.02
DNS-340L Version 1.08

Most of these seem to be used by small and medium-sized businesses, it was added.

Since there will be no patch, D-Link advises users to retire the old devices and replace them with newer, supported models. For those that cannot do that at the moment, it is advised to isolate the endpoints from the public internet and place them under stricter access conditions.

A NAS device is a dedicated data storage unit connected to a network, allowing multiple users and devices to access and store data centrally. It provides secure file sharing, data backup, and storage, making it ideal for both home and business use. NAS devices are typically easy to set up and scale, offering RAID support and other protections against data loss.

Cybercriminals frequently target NAS devices because they often hold sensitive data, including personal documents, financial information, and business files. By compromising NAS systems, attackers can steal, encrypt, or delete valuable data, with ransomware being a common threat.

In certain areas, next-gen Orion is failing to impress compared to the existing GPT-4 model.da

OpenAI is reportedly having trouble with Orion in certain areas like codingProgress is slower than expected due to quality issues with training dataThe next-gen model could also be more expensive

OpenAI is running into difficulties with Orion, the next-gen model powering its AI. The company is struggling in certain areas when it comes to the performance gains realized with the successor to GPT-4.

This comes from a report by The Information, citing OpenAI employees, who claim that the increase in quality seen with Orion is ‘far smaller’ than that witnessed when moving from GPT-3 to GPT-4.

We’re also told that some OpenAI researchers are saying that Orion “isn’t reliably better than its predecessor [GPT-4] in handling certain tasks.” What tasks would they be? Apparently, coding is a weaker point, with Orion possibly not outdoing GPT-4 in this arena – although it is also noted that Orion’s language skills are stronger.

So, for general-use queries – and for jobs such as summarizing or rewriting text – it sounds like things are going (relatively) well. However, these rumors don’t sound quite as hopeful for those looking to use AI as a coding helper.

So, what’s the problem here?

By all accounts, OpenAI is running into something of a wall when it comes to the data available to train its AI. As the report makes clear, there’s a “dwindling supply of high-quality text and other data” that LLMs (Large Language Models) can work with in pre-release training to hone their powers in solving knottier problems like resolving coding bugs.

These LLMs have chomped through a lot of the low-hanging fruit, and now finding this good-quality training data is becoming a considerably more difficult process – slowing down advancement in some respects.

On top of that, this training will become more intensive in terms of computing resources, meaning that developing (and running) Orion – and further AI models down the line – will become much more expensive. Of course, the user of the AI will end up footing that bill, one way or another, and there’s even talk of more advanced models becoming effectively “financially unfeasible” to develop.

Not to mention the impact on the environment in terms of bigger data centers whirring away and sucking more power from our grids, all at a time of increasing concern around climate change.

While we need to take this report with an appropriate amount of caution, there are worrying rumblings here, foreshadowing a serious reality check for the development of AI going forward.

The Information further notes that a different approach may be taken in terms of improving AI models on an ongoing basis after their initial training – indeed, this may become a necessity from the sound of things. We shall see.

Orion is expected to debut early in 2025 (and not imminently, as some rumors have hinted), and it may not be called ChatGPT-5, with OpenAI possibly set to change the naming scheme of its AI completely with this next-gen model.

CERN uses Toshiba HDDs to store more than one exabyte of data related to the big bang, dark matter and the universe

CERN uses over one exabyte of storage for researchThe research laboratory relies on PROMISE and Toshiba for its needsToshiba will be supplying CERN with 20TB hard drives

As you might expect, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory requires some pretty extensive data storage systems to support its research into fundamental questions about the universe.

With particle collision detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generating approximately 1TB of data per minute, CERN’s storage infrastructure rather obviously needs to be both high-capacity and highly reliable.

Since 2008, CERN has relied on PROMISE Technology’s VTrak J5800 24-bay JBOD enclosures and Toshiba’s Enterprise Capacity HDDs for its storage needs. The storage systems have inevitably evolved over time, beginning with 4TB hard drives and currently featuring Toshiba’s 18TB MG09 Series HDDs.

Supporting CERN’s future storage needs

Together, these systems provide CERN’s central data center with over one exabyte of storage, distributed across more than 120,000 hard drives housed in over 4,000 enclosures. This setup allows data from CERN to be shared with more than 170 research institutes around the world for analysis.

To meet increasing storage requirements, PROMISE Technology recently introduced the 60-bay VTrak J5960 JBOD enclosure, featuring ‘Greenboost’ technology to reduce power consumption by up to 30%. These will be used with Toshiba’s 20TB MG10 Series HDDs, and potentially its 28TB drives in the future.

“In our quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, we need partners who understand the importance of data storage, reliability, and efficiency with solutions tailored to our unique needs,” said Eric Bonfillou, Deputy Group Leader of CERN’s IT Fabric group.

“We continue to develop higher capacities, up to 30TB and beyond, as HDDs are and will remain essential for storing the exabytes of data that CERN and the entire world produce in a cost-effective and energy-efficient manner,” added Rainer W. Kaese, Senior Manager Business Development, Storage Products Division at Toshiba.

Toshiba has released a new video showcasing its partnership with PROMISE Technology to enhance data storage solutions for CERN. You can watch this below.

US businesses are being targeted by attackers using .gov email addresses to steal personal information.

FBI issues Private Industry Notification on emergency data requestsHackers are using stolen .gov email addresses to pose as authoritiesMitigations recommended by the FBI should be put in place

Cybercriminals are using stolen government email addresses to submit fraudulent emergency data requests to US companies to steal personally identifying information (PII) of customers, which could be used for nefarious purposes such as phishing and identity theft, experts have warned.

This attack vector has grown in popularity since August 2023, warranting the issue of a Private Industry Notification from the FBI.

The Bureau has also issued a list of mitigation measures for businesses to put in place to keep personal data safe and ensure that only authentic data requests are processed.

Fraudulent requests on the rise

Over the last year, the FBI has logged a significant uptick in forum posts from cybercriminals relating to fraudulent data requests. The trend stemmed from one user stating that for $100, they could teach people to use data requests to obtain information on any social media account. Shortly thereafter, another user discovered that by using a ‘.gov’ email address, they could pose as the authorities and obtain much more detailed information to use for phishing.

Fraudulent data requests gradually became more advanced and more threatening, with one user posting in December 2023 that they included the threat of harm or death to an individual if the data request was not processed and approved.

Shortly following this in March 2024, another known cyber criminal submitted a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) to PayPal. The MLAT used details from a child trafficking investigation, including case number and legal code to appear legitimate, however PayPal declined the MLAT.

In August 2024, a cybercriminal listed “High Quality .gov emails for espionage/social engineering/data extortion/Dada requests, etc” for sale that could be used for fraudulent data access requests to obtain private customer information including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information.

The FBI recommends that businesses double check the security posture of any connections between 3rd parties they interact with and their own systems, as well as external or remote connections.

Businesses should also be wary of emergency data requests that highlight the urgency of the requests, and check all the details within the request for inconsistencies or doctoring. The full list of mitigations can be found here.
