Kindle Colorsoft im Test: Amazons E-Book-Reader wird endlich bunt

Lange hat es gedauert, bis Amazon seinen ersten E-Book-Reader mit Farbdisplay vorgestellt hat – der Kindle Colorsoft macht vieles richtig, perfekt ist er aber nicht. Ein Test von Tobias Költzsch (Kindle, E-Book)

New Glenn rolls to the launch pad as end-of-year deadline approaches

Up next is a hot-fire test of the massive rocket.

Blue Origin took another significant step toward the launch of its large New Glenn rocket on Tuesday night by rolling the first stage of the vehicle to a launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Although the company's rocket factory in Florida is only a few miles from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, because of the rocket and transporter's size the procession had to follow a more circuitous route. In a post on LinkedIn, Blue Origin's chief executive, Dave Limp, said the route taken by the rocket to the pad is 23 miles long.

Limp also provided some details on GERT, the company's nickname for the "Giant Enormous Rocket Truck" devised to transport the massive New Glenn first stage.

The sad, bizarre tale of hype fanning fears modern cryptography was slain

The advance was incremental at best. So why did so many think it was a breakthrough?

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that could be in the next couple decades. Others say it could take longer. No one knows.

The uncertainty leaves a giant vacuum that can be filled with alarmist pronouncements that the world is close to seeing the downfall of cryptography as we know it. The false pronouncements can take on a life of their own as they’re repeated by marketers looking to peddle post-quantum cryptography snake oil and journalists tricked into thinking the findings are real. And a new episode of exaggerated research has been playing out for the past few weeks.

All aboard the PQC hype train

The last time the PQC—short for post-quantum cryptography—hype train gained this much traction was in early 2023, when scientists presented findings that claimed, at long last, to put the quantum-enabled cracking of the widely used RSA encryption scheme within reach. The claims were repeated over and over, just as claims about research released in September have for the past three weeks.
