Amid Russian biowarfare “disinformation,” there’s real concern for research labs.

The World Health Organization has advised officials in Ukraine to destroy any high-risk pathogens housed in public health laboratories in order to prevent their release amid the Russian onslaught, according to a report by Reuters.
The agency said that it has worked with Ukrainian officials for years to promote security practices at its laboratories to prevent "accidental or deliberate release of pathogens." As part of that longstanding work, "WHO has strongly recommended to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine and other responsible bodies to destroy high-threat pathogens to prevent any potential spills," the agency said in an email to Reuters. The WHO did not clarify when it made that recommendation or if it was carried out.
The news follows Senate testimony on Tuesday by Victoria Nuland, US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, who said that the US is "quite concerned" that Russian troops will seek out Ukraine's biological research laboratories to seize control of any potentially dangerous samples.

Was am 11. März 2022 neben den großen Meldungen sonst noch passiert ist, in aller Kürze. (Kurznews, KI)
A high-quality Blu-ray copy of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ has leaked online, weeks before the official physical release. The pirate copy comes courtesy of EVO, the same group that previously leaked many other prominent titles. While the Blu-ray source is unknown, an unauthorized eBay seller coincidentally started to offer the disc for sale earlier this week.
From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.
When ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ was about to be released late last year in theaters, spoilers and leaked footage started to circulate online.
The spoilers didn’t give away much, nor were they of notable quality. Nonetheless, Columbia Pictures did its best to bury them all.
The movie studio sent numerous takedown notices which, accidentally, even targeted news articles that mentioned the leak. In addition, the constant stream of ‘leaks’ and copyright complaints forced Reddit to ban the “nowayhomeleaks” subreddit.
After the film officially premiered in theaters, low-quality ‘cam’ copies began to surface on pirate sites. These were in high demand, but the massive downloading surge for pirate copies usually comes after the official digital release or when the Blu-ray comes out.
For ‘No Way Home,’ these official releases are scheduled for March 22 and April 12 respectively. However, pirates are jumping the line once again.
A few hours ago a Blu-ray rip of the film began to circulate online. The release in question comes from the P2P group known as EVO, which has leaked many prominent titles over the past months, including “Dune” and a screener of “The Power of the Dog“, to name just two.
EVO doesn’t mention how it obtained this Blu-ray copy but the group stresses that it’s the real deal. “Yeap, its real. Exclusive. Enjoy,” EVO writes in the release notes.
At this point, we can only speculate as to the source of this leak but it seems that someone got their hands on an early copy. Or even a bunch of copies, if this listing we found on eBay is legitimate.
This eBay seller, who has 100% positive feedback, presumably started to ship the ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Blu-ray discs earlier this week. Thus far, 53 copies have been sold according to the online store.
“Before you ask, yes these are the real deal. The same one you can purchase on 4/12. I just happened to receive them early. Thank you for looking,” the eBay seller writes.
We don’t know if this release is linked to the leak, and haven’t independently verified the legitimacy of the disc, but the timing definitely fits.
Whatever the source, the leak will come as a massive blow to Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, who might have to work overtime this weekend to try and limit the fallout. Whatever they do, stopping these leaks from circulating entirely will be impossible by now.

Ford and General Motors are both working with PG&E on trials.

Disaster preparedness is becoming a bit more mainstream as the effects of climate change and the fallibility of human institutions become more clear. The auto industry has followed this trend, with more than one pointing to the fact that an electric vehicle is essentially a giant backup battery that could power your home for a few days in the event of an emergency.
Now, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) will begin testing bidirectional charging in California with new pilot programs announced this week at General Motors and Ford.
Bidirectional charging got its first big boost after the 2011 Tōhoku-Oki earthquake, and in 2017, Nissan told Ars that several thousand EV-to-grid installations had already been completed in Japan. But at the time, the company had no immediate plans to enable the function here in the US. Since then, Nissan has conducted other vehicle-to-grid experiments, such as powering a convenience store.

Tritt aus einem Leck in einem Tank oder einer Rohrleitung Wasserstoff aus, droht Gefahr. Ein Sensor weist in zwei Stufen auf die Gefahr hin. (Wasserstoff, Nanotechnologie) Microsoft’s security chip has yet to be integrated with Intel CPUs.
Dell, one of the top three PC makers, will not be using Microsoft’s Pluton chip in “most” commercial PCs, The Register reported on Wednesday. A Dell representative told the publication that the security processor “does not align with Dell's approach to hardware security and our most secure commercial PC requirements."
Microsoft first announced the Pluton security processor in 2020. At that point, the chip had already been used in microcontrollers in the Xbox One and Azure Sphere to prevent hardware hacks.
In PCs, Pluton is meant to prevent hacks that could result from an attacker having physical access to the PC. Such physical hacks could result in malware installation or stolen data. By living on the main CPU’s die, Pluton can store protected data in an area that is isolated from the PC’s other components. According to Microsoft, that data can’t be removed no matter what.
