LinkedIn is secretly scanning your browser for 6,000 extensions, and you weren’t told

In short: Every time you visit LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, a hidden JavaScript routine silently probes your browser for more than 6,000 installed extensions, collects 48 hardware and software characteristics about your device, encrypts the resulting fingerprint, and attaches it to every API request you make during your session. The practice, labelled “BrowserGate” by researchers, […]

So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function

Absolutely pathetic

Research finds AI users scarily willing to "surrender" their cognition to LLMs
Experiments show large majorities uncritically accepting "faulty" AI answers.

🍞🧪 Professor Stephen Wallace and his team at the University of #Edinburgh used E. coli to convert bread waste into #hydrogen gas.

This one-pot microbial reaction allows for industrial hydrogenation to occur at near-room temperature without #fossilfuels. The method is #carbon-negative because it diverts #food waste from landfills while replacing traditional chemical processes.
