For the bazillionth time, vaccines do not cause autism—and dog autism is not a thing.
The anti-vaccine rhetoric that dogged COVID-19 responses has now gone to the dogs, literally.
A little more than half of surveyed dog owners—53 percent—questioned the safety, efficacy, and/or necessity of vaccinating their beloved four-legged family members. The study, published recently in the journal Vaccine, involved a nationally representative group of 2,200 American adults, of which 42 percent (924) made up the analyzed subgroup of dog owners. Overall, the findings add to concern that the anti-vaccine sentiments that flared amid the pandemic have fanned out broadly, undermining even routine childhood vaccinations.
That concern was supported by the new study, which found that the dog owners who espoused "canine vaccine hesitancy," or CVH, were more likely to embrace misinformation and falsehoods linked to human vaccines. And those anti-vaccine beliefs were potent. Responses from the CVH dog owners suggested that 56 percent opposed mandatory vaccination against rabies, a 100 percent fatal condition.
Before linking an account, be sure the app you’re using is legit.
Researchers on Wednesday said they found fake apps in Google Play that masqueraded as legitimate ones for the Signal and Telegram messaging platforms. The malicious apps could pull messages or other sensitive information from legitimate accounts when users took certain actions.
An app with the name Signal Plus Messenger was available on Play for nine months and had been downloaded from Play roughly 100 times before Google took it down last April after being tipped off by security firm ESET. It was also available in the Samsung app store and on signalplus[.]org, a dedicated website mimicking the official Signal.org. An app calling itself FlyGram, meanwhile, was created by the same threat actor and was available through the same three channels. Google removed it from Play in 2021. Both apps remain available in the Samsung store.
Both apps were built on open source code available from Signal and Telegram. Interwoven into that code was an espionage tool tracked as BadBazaar. The Trojan has been linked to a China-aligned hacking group tracked as GREF. BadBazaar has been used previously to target Uyghurs and other Turkic ethnic minorities. The FlyGram malware was also shared in a Uyghur Telegram group, further aligning it to previous targeting by the BadBazaar malware family.
Should AI-created works be copyrighted? US regulators want to know what you think.
On Wednesday, the US Copyright Office began seeking public comment on issues surrounding generative AI systems and copyright. The public comment period, which starts on August 30, aims to explore the complex intersection of AI technology with copyright laws, and it closes on November 15. The comments could inform how the agency decides to grant copyrights in the future.
Outlined in a 24-page document published as a PDF file by the Federal Register, the "Notice of inquiry and request for comments" asks questions with far-reaching consequences for intellectual property in America.
Specifically, the Office is interested in four main areas: the use of copyrighted materials to train AI models and whether this constitutes infringement; the extent to which AI-generated content should or could be copyrighted, particularly when a human has exercised some degree of control over the AI model’s operations; how liability should be applied if AI-generated content infringes on existing copyrights; and the impact of AI mimicking voices or styles of human artists, which, while not strictly copyright issues, may engage state laws related to publicity rights and unfair competition.

The company making some of the most powerful RISC-V processors is previewing its next-gen chips. The latest thing killed by Google is a monthly smartphone + services subscription that was launched less than two years ago (which means it’s ending just before subscribers would have been eligible for a free phone upgrade). And the makers […]
Cartridge-based microcontroller is easy to move from keyboard to keyboard.
There's nothing like that burst of anticipation when first sliding a game cartridge into its slot. Who would've thought someone would ever bring that nostalgic, uniquely tactile experience to a wireless mechanical keyboard?
Meet FlatFootFox's TypeBoy. With a name ostensibly nodding at the Game Boy, the wireless, split mechanical keyboard build has more in common with the Game Boy Advance than its purple and gray color scheme.
You can avoid the price hikes if you tack years onto plans before September 6.
In a blog post announcing its latest monthly PlayStation Plus games, like sandbox playground Saints Row and 1980s mecha co-op shooter Generation Zero, a Sony director "also wanted to let you know that starting September 6, we will be increasing the price for PlayStation Plus 12-month subscriptions," across all levels. The move comes just two months after Microsoft similarly raised prices on its Game Pass subscriptions.
The new prices take effect September 6 and, Sony's Adam Michel, director of content acquisition and operations, says the increase will "enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits" to Plus subscribers. If you have a current multi-month subscription, the new prices won't take effect until your next renewal data that occurs after November 6. Making any changes to your plan after September 6, however, will incur the new pricing. That gives subscribers about a week's time to stick another year or more onto their membership at current pricing.
PlayStation Plus' new prices are $80 per year for Essential (formerly $60), $135 for Extra (from $100), and $160 for Premium (from $120). All of these prices are notably below Microsoft's Game Pass prices, though Microsoft makes its first-party games, like the upcoming Starfield, available on day one through that service, and only Sony's Premium plan offers the kind of large library of games that compares to Game Pass. PlayStation Plus is not an easy subscription to understand—so much so that we were compelled to make our own explainer—but the company has been clear that it's not planning to put its own games on its own service at launch.

Together, the iPhone and Apple Watch account for more than half of Apple's business—and those two product lines get updated like clockwork every year around September.
The cat is already out of the bag for this year; Apple is expected to hold a live event on September 12 to announce its new iPhone and Watch lineup. And with the event just a couple of weeks away, we already know what to expect.
The iPhone's long-rumored move to USB-C headlines the upcoming changes, but there's a bit more going on.
