“Cops nick SEVEN #Palestine #Action supporters because they stopped Israel killing Palestinians”

by The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour
@palestine
@israel

“A spokesperson for Palestine Action said: ‘ No matter what it takes, members of the public will continue to take action to disrupt Israeli weapons factories and won’t stop until factories like this one are shut down for good’”

EN: New episode of "Handwerkskunst" in the #German public #mediatheque:

In a workshop in Offenbach, a Rolls Royce "Silver Dawn" (as an example) is converted into an e-car with dedication and passion for around € 30,000: Another highly recommended episode from the well-known SWR programme series. This is how the future brings lasting pleasure in valuable #technology, #craftsmanship and #engineering.

After a long process and lots of work we are proud to present our new, modernised and restructured website: https://nfdi4ing.de

A key goal of the relaunch was to improve access and findability of our service portfolio. The new website should be a big improvement in this regard. So if you were wondering how NFDI4ING could support your data management needs, check it out!

If you have feedback or find any errors, please contact us.

Researchers find Security Flaws in Skoda Cars that may let Threat Actors remotely track them.

IT-Security researchers have discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the infotainment units used in some Skoda cars that could allow malicious actors to remotely trigger certain controls and track the car’s location in real time.

PCAutomotive, a cybersecurity firm specializing in the automotive sector, unveiled 12 new security vulnerabilities impacting the latest model of the Skoda Superb III sedan. This comes a year after the organization disclosed 9 other vulnerabilities affecting the same model. Skoda is a car brand owned by German automobile giant Volkswagen.

The vulnerabilities, discovered in the vehicle’s MIB3 infotainment unit, could allow attackers to achieve unrestricted code execution and run malicious code every time the unit starts. This could let an attacker obtain live vehicle GPS coordinates and speed data, record conversations via the in-car microphone, take screenshots of the infotainment display and play arbitrary sounds in the car.

The researchers noted that the vulnerable MIB3 units are used in multiple Volkswagen and Skoda models, and based on public sales data, estimates there are potentially more than 1.4 million vulnerable vehicles out there.


Bird Flu jumps from Birds to Human in Louisiana [Patient hospitalized].

It is the first human H5N1 case detected in Louisiana. For now, the case is considered a "presumptive" positive until testing is confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health officials says “caution people to stay away from any sick or dead birds”.

A person in Louisiana is hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu after having contact with sick and dying birds suspected of carrying the virus.

Although the person has been hospitalized, their condition was not immediately reported. It's also unclear what kind of birds the person had contact with [wild, backyard or commercial birds]. Ars has reached out to Louisiana's health department and will update this piece with any additional information.

To date, at least 845 herds across 16 states have contracted the virus since March, including 630 in California, which detected its first dairy infections in late August.

At least 60 people in the US have been infected amid the viral spread this year. But the new case in Louisiana stands out. To date, nearly all of the human cases have been among poultry and dairy workers [unlike the new case in Louisiana] and almost all have been mild [also unlike the new case]. Most of the cases have involved conjunctivitis [pink eye] and/or mild respiratory and flu-like symptoms.

A single Mutation could bring Bird Flu a critical Step closer to a New Pandemic.

With the H5N1 bird flu virus spreading quickly across animals in the US, experts are on high alert for signs of human-to-human transmission. Such a jump could become far easier with just a single mutation, according to new research.

The virus has a fatality rate of 50 percent in humans, so animal infections need to be carefully monitored and tightly controlled to stop the spreading strain of H5N1 adapting into something that one person can give directly to another.

"Our experiments revealed that the Q226L mutation could significantly increase the virus ability to target and attach to human-type receptors," says biochemist James Paulson. "This mutation gives the virus a foothold on human cells that it didn't have before, which is why this finding is a red flag for possible adaptation to people."

While several of these morphing mutations are usually needed to put humans in danger from avian influenza, this time the transformation process could be quicker, scientists from the Scripps Research Institute in California found.

"The findings demonstrate how easily this virus could evolve to recognize human-type receptors," says infectious disease scientist Ting-Hui Lin, first author of the new study.

The researchers also investigated the H5N1 2.3.4.4b strain of the virus found in recent human infections, finding that a single amino acid mutation in a key protein would be enough to switch the virus target from avian-type receptors to human-type receptors.


Yes I’m currently actively looking for a job. I have a background in mechanical and environmental engineering with an emphasis on atmospheric science. I’ve done data analysis and source identifications for VOCs in urban environments. I also have teaching and mentoring experience for undergraduate level courses. If anyone is looking for support in air quality studies/work, please drop me a line. Not a citizen, but I’m eligible to work in USA (green card). #GetFediHired #engineering #jobSearch #AtmosphericScience


Adding end of life recycling to solar panels dramatically changes the life cycle footprint of this technology.

"The Cedartown recycling factory is designed to recover up to 99% of the materials from solar panels, including bifacial panels, which have been harder to recycle efficiently. "

About Boeing Fails


Boeing instructed customer airlines to inspect their 737 Max jets for loose bolts, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced Thursday.
...
Little noticed, the Federal Aviation Administration in December published a Boeing request for an exemption from key safety standards on the 737 MAX 7 — the still-uncertified smallest member of Boeing’s newest jet family.

The Engineering Differences Between US and Soviet Spacesuits From the 1960s
Savage noted the engineering differences between the two. The Apollo suit was a bit complicated, requiring separate pieces of the suit to be put together before a backpack could be attached. The Krechet had a one-piece hardbody interior that could only be entered via backpack, a design that NASA is currently using in their Artemis space suits.
