Execs from Stoke Space and Relativity Space join Disrupt 2024
The future of space is ripe for reinvention, and TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 is bringing together two visionaries determined to reshape how we reach and operate in orbit.
Join Kelly Hennig, COO of Stoke Space, and Muhammad “Mo” Shahzad, president and CFO of Relativity Space, on the Space Stage as they explore how emerging technologies, software, and automation will redefine the future of space access. Discover how these industry leaders are navigating the challenges of the growing space industry to turn ambitious visions into reality.

What’s Next? review: Bill Gates’s Netflix series offers some dubious ideas about the future
Bill Gates thinks the ultra-rich should give away their wealth, as he does

What’s Next? The future with Bill Gates
Netflix
When you want to imagine the future, who do you turn to? Friends and family? Science fiction? New Scientist? Now you can check in with Bill Gates, as the Microsoft co-founder and multibillionaire has worked with Netflix on What’s Next? The future with Bill Gates, in which he digs into make-or-break issues: artificial intelligence, misinformation, climate change, income inequality and disease.
The five-part series is uneven, though, and the worst instalment is perhaps the first, “What can…

Linglong, a Chinese PC maker, is taking mini PCs to the next level. Its latest offering is unlike any Windows PC available on the market. The Lunar is a 2-in-1 device that combines a keyboard with a mini PC. Essentially the company has created a folding keyboard and crammed an AMD-powered mini PC inside of it.
When folded, the Lunar measures 6.02 x 4.3 x 1.18 inches and weighs less than 800 grams, making it easy to carry around in your pocket. The device also features a 59.2Whr battery that can last six hours (although rated for eight to 10 hours), while the integrated trackpad means you don’t even have to carry a mouse. As for the keyboard itself, the company has not shared anything about the typing experience and only mentions the use of scissor-style switches
The built-in PC is powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 8840U APU based on the Zen 4 architecture and can be configured with up to 32GB of LPDDR5x 6400Mhz RAM and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. In terms of ports, there’s a USB 4.0 Type-C, a USB 3.2 Type-C, and a USB 3.0 Type-A. Wireless connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The thermal system includes two heat pipes and a cooling fan while the CPU can operate at different TDPs of 10W, 15W, 30W, 35W, and 50W using the including tuning software. The same software can also be used to control the CPU fan speeds.
The Lunar can be connected to a display using either of the USB Type-C ports and even offers support for AR and VR glasses. Additionally, the mini-PC can wirelessly connect to tablets and all-in-one PCs for a wireless multi-display setup or use a personal hotspot to access data stored on the device.
The Lunar 2-in-1 folding keyboard mini PC is currently available on Kickstarter where pledges start at $579 for the 16GB + 512GB configuration. As for the 32GB + 1TB configuration, pledges start at $739.
It’s not often you see such a big price drop on laptops like the LG Gram Pro, but right now Amazon has an excellent deal on this particular laptop that you absolutely don’t want to miss. Right now you can pick up the LG Gram Pro for just $1,099.99. This is a discount that’s several hundred dollars off the regular price. At full retail, you would normally pay about $1,535. So yeah, the savings on this deal are pretty good. There are a couple of things worth mentioning about this deal as well. First and foremost, this deal is only available for Amazon Prime members.
If you don’t already have Amazon Prime, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial here. Secondly, this is the lowest price on the LG Gram Pro ever. Its most recent price drop was back at the beginning of September when Amazon knocked the price down to $1,246.21. Now you’re saving nearly an additional $150. Which is pretty good if you ask us.
The LG Gram Pro is a 2-in-1 laptop so its standout feature is that it can be used and positioned in a variety of ways. You can use it like a regular laptop, for one. But you can also flip the keyboard back so the keys face the table and this makes it possible to more conveniently access the touch screen. You can also use it in tablet mode or tent mode. Tent mode is great for when you want to watch TV shows or movies. Tablet mode is great of course if you simply want to browse the web or read.
The LG Gram Pro has an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU inside which is going to be great for battery life. Plus, you get 1TB of storage on the SSD, 16GB of RAM, a 16-inch Full HD display, and it only weighs about 3 lbs. so it’s very portable.

Comcast is warning that hackers stole the personal data of more than 230,000 customers during a ransomware attack on a third-party debt collector, according to a court filing. The bad actors targeted a Pennsylvania-based debt collection agency called Financial Business and Consumer Solutions (FBCS.)
The attack occurred back in February, but Comcast claims that FBCS initially said that the incident didn’t involve any customer data. FBCS changed its tune by July, when it notified Comcast that customer information had been compromised, according to reporting by TechCrunch.
All told, 237,703 subscribers were impacted by the breach. The attackers were thorough, scooping up names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, Comcast account numbers and ID numbers. Comcast says the stolen data belongs to customers who signed up with the company “around 2021.” It also says it has stopped using FBCS for the purposes of debt collection.
“From February 14 and February 26, 2024, an unauthorized party gained access to FBCS’s computer network and some of its computers,” the filing states. “During this time, the unauthorized party downloaded data from FBCS systems and encrypted some systems as part of a ransomware attack.”
No group has stepped forward to claim credit for the incident. FBCS has only referred to the attacker as an “unauthorized actor.” The debt collection agency was hit hard by this attack, with Comcast customers being just one group of victims. The company says more than four million people were impacted and that the cybercriminals accessed medical claims and health insurance information, in addition to standard identification data.
To that end, medical debt-purchasing company CF Medical confirmed that 600,000 of its customers were involved in the breach. Truist Bank also confirmed it was affected by the attack.
It’s notable that this incident primarily impacts debtors, opening them up to potential scams. Chris Hauk, consumer privacy advocate at Pixel Privacy, told Engadget that “the bad actors that get their paws on this information may use it to pose as debt relief agencies, which many turn to as a way out of their situation, meaning many of the involved debtors may be defrauded out of large sums of money, something they can ill-afford.”
In other words, keep an eye out for suspicious phone calls, emails and texts. This is good advice for anyone, and not just debtors who had data stored with FBCS. After all, it was revealed that hackers stole more than 2.7 billion records from American consumers earlier this year, which likely includes data on everyone who lives in the country.
