Parts of the sea floor are veritable rubbish dumps, say the authors. Strict technical and environmental criteria are needed to guide any direct efforts at clean-up, to avoid causing even greater harm (image credit: JAMSTEC). A recent study published in Marine Pollution Bulletin itemises the practical steps required to create a roadmap for combating marine litter. It was authored by a group of academic experts on the topic.1 (Words: University of Barcelona). Making a significant dent in the global marine litter problem would require implementing a global monitoring system, agreeing on the use of common methods and protocols for data…

I’ve started doing occasional live streams, and when presenting to a worldwide audience, you don’t want your secrets visible on YouTube. For example, if you have an OPENAI API key, anyone could use your credits if they get hold of it. Plus, hard-coding secrets into a git repo is never good practice because once they’re committed, they’re difficult to remove entirely. The standard solution, especially in server-side development, is to use a .env file to store secrets. The leading period makes the file hidden by default. Typically, your .gitignore file will exclude .env files. So, after checking out a project, the first step is to set…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityWe’ve all been there before. You’re scrolling through Instagram or Threads, an HDR picture/video pops up on your feed, and you’re instantly blinded by how bright it is. HDR content certainly has its place, but on our phones, it can sometimes be more of a nuisance than a benefit.As part of its One UI 7 update earlier this year, Samsung added a “Super HDR” toggle to its Galaxy phones, allowing you to disable overly bright HDR content. Now, Google Pixel phones have a similar feature called “Enhanced HDR brightness.”Enhanced HDR brightness was added to Google’s Pixel…

Advances in molecular biology and proteomics have revealed the central role of dysregulated proteins in driving human disease [1]. As a result, eliminating or disabling pathogenic proteins has become a cornerstone of modern drug discovery. Traditional small-molecule therapeutics typically act by binding to functional pockets on target proteins to inhibit activity [2]. For instance, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting BCR-ABL have significantly improved survival in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) [3]. Nonetheless, the vast majority of proteins—estimated at over 80 % of the human proteome—lack accessible ligandable sites and remain beyond the reach of conventional inhibitors [4]. Additionally, small molecules…

In October 2025, CyberPress reported a critical security vulnerability in the Redis Server, an open-source in-memory database: CVE-2025-49844 allowed authenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution through a use-after-free (CWE-416) flaw in the Lua scripting engine. In 2024, another prominent temporal memory safety flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel: CVE-2024-1086. This issue caused the nf_hook_slow() function to free memory twice (CWE-415: Double Free), allowing an attacker to exploit this double-free vulnerability to execute arbitrary code of their own choosing. As the above examples illustrate, bugs related to temporal memory safety, such as use-after-free and double-free…

In short, while there was no evidence that unsanctioned app use is routine or normalized, it is likely that enough staff are using them to make a serious breach possible at some point. The report concludes that one of the reasons staff have taken to these messaging apps was that they lack convenient alternatives. It recommends developing approved apps to remove this need, implementing a training program to ensure existing communication regulations are complied with, and limiting the authority to use messaging apps to senior staff, in specific circumstances. What’s surprising about this is that it has taken a major…

Navigating a sea of documents, scattered across various platforms, can be a daunting task, often leading to slow decision-making and missed insights. As organizational knowledge and data multiplies, teams that can’t centralize or surface the right information quickly will struggle to make decisions, innovate, and stay competitive. This blog explores how the new Talk to My Docs (TTMDocs) agent provides a solution to the steep costs of knowledge fragmentation. The high cost of knowledge fragmentation Knowledge fragmentation is not just an inconvenience — it’s a hidden cost to productivity, actively robbing your team of time and insight. A survey by…

One of the thing that Ryan has focused on since he took over at Smart Data Collective is helping readers understand why data-driven thinking has become a force behind modern business strategy. You gain clearer insights when decisions come from structured information rather than guesswork.Why Street Address Databases Matter for Data-Driven BusinessesWhy Your Business Must Have a Verified Street Address Database A report commissioned by Lenovo two years ago found that only a minority (15%) of organizations qualify as true data leaders, and this gap shows how much room there is for growth. You can see how companies that fully embrace…
