GM. Nothing here is financial advice, dyor. These are NFT Projects I am currently interested in. What is an NFT? A NFT is a non-fungible token that is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on the blockchain, which is a form of digital ledger. The most common one is bitcoin, a cryptocurrency. NFTs can be digital files such as photos, videos or audio. Although we like NFTs such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Doodles, CryptoPunks, Cool Cats, and VeeFriends…The NFTs we are mainly interested in have certain utility or membership tied to them. #Shorts

SLAP and FLOP vulnerabilities in Apple CPUs https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/slap-and-flop-vulnerabilities-in-apple-cpus https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/slap-and-flop-vulnerabilities-in-apple-cpus#respond Tue, 11 Feb 2025 07:03:25 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/slap-and-flop-vulnerabilities-in-apple-cpus

Your smartphone gallery may contain photos and screenshots of important information you keep there for safety or convenience, such as documents, bank agreements, or seed phrases for recovering cryptocurrency wallets. All of this data can be stolen by a malicious app such as the SparkCat stealer we’ve discovered. This malware is currently configured to steal crypto wallet data, but it could easily be repurposed to steal any other valuable information.

The worst part is that this malware has made its way into official app stores, with almost 250,000 downloads of infected apps from Google Play alone. Although malicious apps have been found in Google Play before, this marks the first time a stealer Trojan has been detected in the App Store. How does this threat work and what can you do to protect yourself?


Spectre-like SLAP and FLOP vulnerabilities in Apple CPUs can be used in real-world attacks.

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2405788/open_sms)

Join Heliox for a fascinating deep dive into the mind of Keyu Jin, one of the most insightful voices on China’s economic transformation. In this episode, we explore Jin’s unique perspective as both an academic heavyweight and seasoned financial advisor, examining how she bridges Eastern and Western viewpoints to decode China’s remarkable economic journey.

Learn about the innovative “mayor economy” concept that helped drive China’s unprecedented growth, and discover how cultural values shape economic decisions in unexpected ways. We unpack Jin’s analysis of China’s technological leap from manufacturing hub to digital innovator, and explore the fascinating “six wallets” phenomenon in Chinese society.

The episode also delves into China’s evolving role in the global financial system, examining the future of the RMB and digital currency innovations. Through Jin’s lens, we gain a nuanced understanding of China’s economic challenges and opportunities, moving beyond simplistic narratives to grasp the complex interplay of state intervention, cultural values, and generational shifts shaping the world’s second-largest economy.

Tesla’s Graffiti Revolution | From Concrete To Art: Giga Berlin’s Unique Makeover https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/teslas-graffiti-revolution-from-concrete-to-art-giga-berlins-unique-makeover https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/teslas-graffiti-revolution-from-concrete-to-art-giga-berlins-unique-makeover#respond Wed, 05 Feb 2025 02:08:47 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/teslas-graffiti-revolution-from-concrete-to-art-giga-berlins-unique-makeover

#GigaBerlinArt #TechPainters #RoboticMuralist.
At Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, creativity meets technology in a remarkable initiative to transform concrete surfaces into stunning artworks. Inspired by Elon Musk’s vision to turn the factory into a canvas, the project began with local graffiti crews. However, the sheer scale of the endeavor required innovative solutions, leading to the collaboration with a robotic muralist startup. This groundbreaking graffiti printer combines cutting-edge technology with artistry, using a triangulation method to maneuver its print head along factory walls. With 12 paint cans onboard, the robot sprays precise dots of color—10 million per wall and 300 million for the west side alone—creating intricate designs composed of five distinct colors. The curated artworks draw inspiration from Berlin’s vibrant culture, Tesla’s groundbreaking products, and the factory itself—described as “the machine that builds the machine.” A blend of global and in-house artistic talent has contributed to the ongoing project, making Giga Berlin not just a hub for innovation but also a celebration of art and ingenuity.

Researchers combine holograms and AI to create uncrackable optical encryption system https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/researchers-combine-holograms-and-ai-to-create-uncrackable-optical-encryption-system https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/researchers-combine-holograms-and-ai-to-create-uncrackable-optical-encryption-system#respond Tue, 04 Feb 2025 00:22:28 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/researchers-combine-holograms-and-ai-to-create-uncrackable-optical-encryption-system

WASHINGTON — As the demand for digital security grows, researchers have developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode information, creating a level of encryption that traditional methods cannot penetrate. This advance could pave the way for more secure communication channels, helping to protect sensitive data.

“From rapidly evolving digital currencies to governance, healthcare, communications and social networks, the demand for robust protection systems to combat digital fraud continues to grow,” said research team leader Stelios Tzortzakis from the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas and the University of Crete, both in Greece.
