For roughly a century, the drill press was the most stubbornly unchanged tool in the workshop. CNC routers went digital. Laser cutters got software brains. Even the table saw picked up intelligent blade-detection technology. The drill press, meanwhile, remained a cast-iron column with a chuck on top, the same basic machine it had been in 1925.
That’s starting to change, and the shift is happening faster than most woodworkers expected.
The broader power-tool industry has been absorbing smarter technology for years, mostly at the motor and interface level. Variable-speed drives, digital readouts, preset memory, and automatic depth stops arrived in stages. Tools became more consistent and easier to repeat across a production run. Those were meaningful upgrades. They still left one part of the process entirely up to the operator, though: finding the mark and getting the bit over it.
Alignment has always been the hidden labor cost of drilling. Mark the board, lower the bit, squint, lift, adjust, lower again, check the divot, correct, and drill. On a 30-hole shelf-pin pattern, that sequence can eat an afternoon. The repetition is tedious enough on its own, and it also introduces small, compounding errors that are hard to catch until a shelf wobbles or a joint doesn’t close.
The intelligence spread through much of the shop without ever quite reaching the drill press.
The next wave of development in workshop tools is pulling the intelligence closer to the work itself, away from phone apps and separate accessories and into the machine directly. Computer vision, once limited to expensive industrial equipment, has become inexpensive enough to embed in tools aimed at small shops and serious hobbyists.
Harvey Industries is among the companies pushing in this direction. Their new Intelligent Drill Press, called Sniper, uses a downward-facing camera array, a neural network, and a robotic dual-axis servo platform to locate a pencil mark on a workpiece and move the spindle directly over it, with no repositioning required from the operator. Positioning accuracy is rated around 0.004 inches, which puts it in the range of shop-CNC precision in a machine sized for a one-car garage.
The neural network component handles what a simple camera cannot: distinguishing a valid target mark from sawdust, shadows, or the grain of figured wood. That kind of pattern recognition used to require controlled industrial environments.
The International Federation of Robotics has noted that falling costs for computer vision and AI components are enabling exactly this kind of capability shift. Machine intelligence that once lived on factory floors is now finding its way into smaller-scale professional and prosumer tools.

Embedded vision is also reshaping how power-tool safety works. That change may be more consequential over time than any productivity gain.
Traditional power-tool safety has relied on physical systems: guards, kill switches, and friction brakes. They are effective, and once a tool ships, its safety profile is essentially fixed.
Vision-based systems open up a different approach. The same camera array that tracks a pencil mark can simultaneously monitor the operator’s hands. Harvey’s implementation, which the company calls the Proactive Safety Protection System, cuts spindle power and motion in the blink of an eye if a hand enters the danger zone. The interrupt occurs at the hardware level, which keeps response time tight regardless of software load.
The broader implication is philosophical. Safety systems built into software and firmware can be improved after the tool is already in the shop. A machine that ships in 2026 could be meaningfully safer in 2028 without any hardware change. Tool ownership starts to resemble the kind of ongoing development cycle familiar in consumer electronics, where the product on the shelf today is not necessarily the one it will be in two years.
Harvey Industries’ Sniper is one data point in a broader pattern. Phone apps now flag knots and grain defects before a board is cut. CNC routers communicate directly with design software. Table saws can distinguish wood from flesh in milliseconds. Computer vision and servo motion control are all converging in workshop tools at a pace that would have seemed implausible a decade ago.
Professional cabinet shops see the benefit in production costs. Hobbyists find the barrier to consistent results is lower than it used to be. In both cases, the machine is absorbing the positioning, monitoring, and correction work surrounding each cut, while the operator retains full control of the actual drilling.
Harvey Industries plans to release Sniper this summer. Pricing targets the custom-shop and advanced-hobbyist market, which is where most category-defining tools tend to start before the technology spreads more broadly.
The drill press took about a hundred years to learn to move. The next decade of workshop tools probably won’t need that long.

Mobileye founder and CEO Amnon Shashua plans to step down from the top leadership post after nearly three decades, just as the company pushes into robotaxis and humanoid robots.
Shashua will remain CEO until Mobileye hires a replacement, according to a regulatory filing Thursday.
Mobileye got its start making computer vision chips based on Shashua’s academic research at Hebrew University in Israel, and grew into a major supplier of the chips that power automotive safety and driver-assistance features. It had the largest IPO in Israel’s history, was acquired in 2017 by Intel for $15.3 billion, then spun back out as a publicly traded company in 2022, though Intel remains its largest shareholder.
Under Shashua, Mobileye also moved beyond selling chips to automakers and began building its own systems that handle autonomous driving, which it now supplies to Volkswagen and its MOIA subsidiary.
In January, the company acquired Shashua’s humanoid robotics startup Mentee Robotics for $900 million, which Shashua called part of “Mobileye 3.0,” the next phase of the business focused on robotics and automotive AI.
Mobileye also said in June it would expand beyond its supplier status to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027.

Microsoft is putting $60 million behind the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, a push to use artificial intelligence to speed up scientific research across the government’s 17 national labs.
The company’s investment is split into two pieces: $40 million in Azure cloud computing and AI credits over three years, and $20 million for engineering and deployment help to get DOE researchers actually using the tools, Microsoft said in a blog post Wednesday.
Microsoft is also launching a new internal group called SPARK — Scientific Partnership Advancing Research & Knowledge — to serve as the single point of contact between the company and DOE on Genesis Mission work. It’s meant to combine Microsoft’s program management, engineering, security and research teams into one coordinated effort, instead of leaving individual labs to navigate Microsoft on their own.
President Trump created the Genesis Mission through an executive order in November 2025, directing DOE to build a unified computing and data platform — since named the American Science and Security Platform — that connects the national labs’ supercomputers, AI tools and scientific datasets.
The order likened the effort’s urgency and ambition to the Manhattan Project, and the White House said it’s expanded into a whole-of-government initiative involving more than 15 federal agencies, backed by more than $5 billion in commitments.
Microsoft named four initial projects taking shape under the partnership, including work with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., to speed up the discovery of new energy storage materials — cutting analysis that used to take years down to weeks — and autonomous lab work with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory aimed at detecting biological threats earlier.
“We move faster together,” Chris Barry, president of Microsoft’s U.S. Public Sector business, wrote in the blog post announcing the commitment, framing the investment as both a “national security imperative” and economic opportunity for the U.S.
Microsoft isn’t the only Seattle-area cloud giant courting the Genesis Mission. Amazon Web Services was recognized by DOE as a Genesis Mission supporter in December, highlighting its work with Idaho National Laboratory on AI tools for nuclear reactor design, and the company launched its own Genesis Accelerator Initiative in February, offering up to $50 million in cloud credits for DOE-related research over three years.
Google also announced Wednesday that it was committing $40 million of AI tokens and cloud credits for researchers in support of the Genesis Mission.
More Google AI Pro and Ultra users will now have access to Spark.
Google is making Gemini Spark, the agentic AI assistant it announced at this year’s I/O developer conference, available to more people. Unfortunately, they still don’t include free users. In the US, Spark is rolling out to everyone paying $20 a month for Google AI Pro. It’s also rolling out globally to Google AI Ultra users, who are paying between $100 to $200 a month for their subscription…unless they’re in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the UK and Nigeria. Those who can now access Spark with this expansion may want to check if it also comes with local language support.
Spark is powered by Gemini 3.5 and is deeply integrated into Google’s Workspace apps. Users can assign tasks to it by going to the Spark page, either via the sidebar on a computer or by tapping on the option under menu on mobile. From there, they can type in the tasks they want Spark to do. They can tell Spark, for instance, to check their emails and calendar schedules every morning and then let them know what to prioritize. Spark can also automatically create draft responses for when emails from a particular person hit the user’s inbox, or summarize lengthy email threads. Users can use Spark to create detailed reports in Google Docs from meeting notes and emails, as well. As these are only a few possible tasks for Spark, users can check out Google’s support pages for more information.
Tails helps you to use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship almost anywhere you go and on any computer but leaving no trace unless you ask it to explicitly.
Tails is a complete OS designed to be used from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card independently of the computer’s original operating system. Start on your Tails USB stick instead of starting on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Tails leaves no trace on the computer when shut down.
Tails helps you to:
Tails includes a selection of applications to work on sensitive documents and communicate securely. It comes with several built-in applications pre-configured with security in mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office suite, image and sound editor, etc.
If you are interested in giving Tails a try on your current computer without running any risk, please check out our Guide: Running Linux From a USB Drive As a Virtual Machine or Bootable Disk.
Tails is a portable Linux distribution based on Debian that combines the Tor network, the GNOME desktop and several other tools to offer a secure and anonymous computer experience.
Tails is very safe as long as you do not run it on an infected machine. Tails is designed to run from a USB stick on any computer as a completely independent OS. However, if the host computer is infected with malware such as a keylogger your privacy would be at risk.
Tails is set up out of the box to run from your computer’s memory and never stores information locally unless you configure it to. This means that every time you shut down Tails, the memory is wiped clean, deleting all traces of your work and every new session starts as a blank slate.
Yes, you can use Tails to circumvent internet censorship and browse the web anonymously. All the applications that come with Tails (email, browser, messaging client, office suite) use the Tor network to connect to the internet, so all your activity can be hidden.
Online anonymity and censorship circumvention with Tor
Tails relies on the Tor anonymity network to protect your privacy online:
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location.
Using Tor you can:
Detection of problems with Wi-Fi hardware
Problems with Wi-Fi are unfortunately quite common in Tails and Linux in general.
To help troubleshoot hardware compatibility issues with Wi-Fi interfaces, the Tor Connection assistant now reports when no Wi-Fi hardware is detected.
New shutdown procedure
Tails now uses the standard shutdown procedure from GNOME.
The standard shutdown procedure is a bit slower, but better prevents data loss.
For example, the Power Off confirmation dialog informs you if an application needs to be closed or an open document needs to be saved before shutting down.
Even without confirming or saving the open documents, Tails will shut down after 60 seconds.
You can still use the faster emergency shutdown as before.
Celluloid video player
We replaced GNOME Videos with Celluloid, a more modern and reliable video player.
For added security, Celluloid cannot access the network. You can either:
Celluloid doesn’t work on some computer from 2011 or earlier.

Tails 7.0 is dedicated to the memory of Lunar (1982 – 2024). Lunar was a traveling companion for Tails, a Tor volunteer, Free Software hacker, and community organizer.
Lunar has always been by our side throughout Tails’ history. From the first baby steps of the project that eventually became Tails, to the merge with Tor, he’s provided sensible technical suggestions, out-of-the-box product design ideas, outreach support, and caring organizational advice.
Outside of Tor, Lunar worked on highly successful Free Software projects such as the Debian project, the Linux distribution on which Tails is based, and the Reproducible Builds project, which helps us verify the integrity of Tails releases.
Lunar will be deeply missed, both in our community and in the many other communities he participated in.
Faster startup
Tails 7.0 starts 10 – 15 seconds faster on most computers.
We achieve this by changing the compression algorithm of the Tails USB and ISO images from xz to zstd. As a consequence, the image is 10% bigger than it would be with the previous algorithm.
While testing this change, we noticed that Tails on USB sticks of poor quality can also start 20 seconds slower than on quality USB sticks.
If you are in a place where counterfeit electronics are common, we recommend that you buy your USB stick from an international supermarket chain, which should have a more reliable supply chain.

Ukraine’s CERT has uncovered attacks distributing an archive containing the legitimate Notepad++ application and a malicious utility called LunchPoke disguised as a plugin to establish persistence.
The campaign has been attributed to a threat cluster tracked as UAC-0099, which primarily targets organizations in Ukraine and has previously been linked to providing initial access for attacks carried out by APT44, also known as Sandworm.
The attackers do not exploit any vulnerability or a supply-chain compromise impacting the popular software.
CERT-UA observed that UAC-0099 changed their modus operandi recently and now delivers a ZIP archive with a VBS script disguised as a PDF document. When launched, the PDF retrieves another compressed file named Evernote.zip.
The second archive contains a complete copy of the legitimate editor Notepad++ version 8.8.3, a malicious plugin (NppExport.dll), a password-protected archive (updater.rar), and the legitimate WinRAR executable.
.jpg)
The VBS script installs the package into a randomly named directory, launches Notepad++, and then loads the malicious NppExport.dll via the application’s normal plugin-loading mechanism.
CERT-UA explains that this DLL is LunchPoke, a tool that creates a scheduled task on Windows and extracts the contents of the RAR file, including RemoteLibUpdater.exe and InitTest.dll.
The executable in the RAR file is BurnyBear, a loader for the DLL file that is the MatchBoil V2 malware loader.

BurnyBear also features a fallback mechanism in case launching RemoteLibUpdater.exe fails, triggering a resource exhaustion attack targeting the host’s RAM and CPU.
The latter creates another scheduled task, updates its configuration and command-and-control (C2) address, and then uses WinRAR to extract downloaded programs.
CERT-UA does not mention the final payloads delivered in the observed attacks, the purpose of the campaign, or the targeted organizations.
The researchers mention CVE-2025-56383, a DLL hijacking flaw in Notepad++ v8.8.3, the exact version used in these attacks, but note that the Notepad++ team has disputed this issue, claiming that plugin loading is standard functionality.
CERT-UA advises system administrators to update Notepad++ to version 8.9.7, 7-Zip to version 26.02, and WinRAR to version 7.23, to prevent hackers from exploiting known flaws in existing products and enabling stealthy attacks.

How is it possible that a graduate, who is the top of his cohort from a local university, equipped with four internships at companies like DBS Bank, attended 10 career fairs and networking events, and sent out more than 300 resumes in the finance sector, still hasn’t landed a full-time job?
The question is especially puzzling given the latest figures from Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM), which show there were 32,800 entry-level professional, managerial, executive and technician (PMET) vacancies available for new graduates.
Each year, around 25,000 to 30,000 degree holders enter the workforce—fewer than the more than 32,000 entry-level PMET vacancies that have been available in recent quarters. In other words, there are, at least on paper, more entry-level jobs than fresh graduates to fill them.
Yet, despite what the numbers suggest, some graduates are seemingly still struggling to secure full-time employment.


While vacancy numbers fluctuate quarter to quarter with hiring timelines and recruitment cycles, the share of entry-level roles within each sector has stayed broadly consistent.
Public administration and education, as well as health and social services, are the most fresh-graduate-friendly sectors, where more than half of the vacancies are suitable for applicants with little to no work experience.
Coming in next are the manufacturing, construction, transportation and storage, food and beverage services, and administrative and support services sectors, where there are many engineering and quantity-surveying jobs. In these sectors, more than four in 10 vacancies are open to entry-level applicants.
On the other end of the spectrum, the infocomm and financial and insurance services are two industries that graduates aspire to join for higher starting pay, attractive perks and strong career prospects. Yet, only 22.2% of infocomm vacancies and 25.3% of financial services roles are entry-level, per MOM’s Q1 2026 data.
For fresh graduates set on these sectors, breaking in is significantly harder.
Derrick Teo, chief executive of manpower consultancy Elitez Group, told The Straits Times: “The graduate job market is still active, but it is more uneven and selective compared with two or three years ago.”
More graduates are having to take up temporary or contract roles as stepping stones towards a full-time gig, the publication wrote.


“The issue is not that there are no jobs. It is that there is a mismatch between where graduates want to work, where employers are hiring, and the skills employers now expect from fresh graduates,” Teo added.
The mismatch is particularly evident in the infocomm sector, where the post-pandemic hiring boom has cooled. There were 4,600 vacancies in Q1 2020, before it surged to 11,700 in Q1 of 2022, and fell to around 5,300 in the first quarter of 2026.
Of those 5,300 vacancies, only about 1,200 are suitable for entry-level applicants.
In 2020, that would have been almost enough to accommodate the 1,367 information technology graduates. But by 2024, the number of IT graduates had almost doubled to 2,694, according to data from the Ministry of Education, making competition much more intense.
The tables have turned. Employers now hold the power that graduates once commanded.
Computing students used to land multiple job offers before graduation. Now, many take longer to secure their first role, said Li Xiaoli, head of the Information Systems Technology and Design Pillar at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
With a larger pool of candidates to choose from, companies have the “luxury of selecting the very best,” he said.


One recent computer science graduate, Gary, whom the Straits Times spoke to, said that employers have become far more selective even when hiring interns.
As internships are increasingly being a prerequisite for full-time jobs, more students are stacking multiple stints to bolster their resumes.
This makes competition stiffer for everyone.
Final-year students who need internships to fulfil graduation requirements now vie not just with peers, but juniors chasing the same spots.
“Quite a number of students did capstone projects in place of internships because they couldn’t find one,” Gary said, referring to final-year projects where students apply what they have learnt.
He felt his coursemates’ lack of real-world experience would put them at a further disadvantage in the job hunt.
Gary explained that was why he decided to “bite the bullet” and grab any internship opportunity that came his way, even if it was an SME or a company with discouraging Glassdoor (job and recruiting platform) reviews.
Employers are increasingly looking for candidates who can “demonstrate practical experience, specific skills, adaptability and readiness to contribute from the outset,” said Susanna Leong, deputy president (academic) and provost at Singapore Institute of Technology.
Prasanthi Guda, Acting Director of Career and Employability Services at Singapore Management University’s (SMU) Dato’ Kho Hui Meng Career Centre, said that employers are also hiring more cautiously in response to economic uncertainty, geopolitical developments and rapid technological change.


But employers aren’t the only ones being choosy. Even in a tougher market, many graduates remain selective about where they apply.
Some prefer a more targeted approach, relying on personal connections for job leads and applying only for positions they genuinely want. Others are taking their time with applications, and choosing alternative paths like furthering their studies.
Some are even holding out for a better job with higher pay, despite qualifying for other sectors.
Calvin Chung, JTC’s assistant chief executive for engineering and operations, told the Straits Times that attracting fresh graduates to the built environment sector—construction, engineering, and related fields—remains challenging, especially as enrolment in these courses declines.
“The perception problem is real, as younger students see the sector as traditional, physically demanding and slow to change, especially when compared with industries like tech and finance,” he said.
“The reality is actually different, where engineers today work with sophisticated digital tools on impactful projects,” he added.


A 2025 MOM School-to-Work Transition Study of 2,500 recent graduates found most expected higher starting salaries than the actual median in their fields. Only law, education, and fine and applied arts graduates had realistic expectations.
The mismatch was especially pronounced among graduates in information technology, business, and the natural and mathematical sciences.
Many had looked at the Graduate Employment Survey—based on self-reported earnings—and expected over S$5,000 for their first job. But recent postings suggest employers are offering around S$4,000, Gary said.
SUTD’s Li said it is common for students, especially the most competent and ambitious ones, to aim for high-paying jobs at companies such as Google or OpenAI. But he added that they should be “realistic” as tech multinational companies are becoming more cautious about their headcount.
Shamim Akhtar, course chair at Temasek Polytechnic’s School of Informatics and IT, urged students to broaden their job search. “We should not be fixated on tech companies,” he said, noting that financial institutions, government agencies, and healthcare organisations also need tech talent.
Recent data from Infocomm Media Development Authority’s Singapore Digital Economy Report 2025 supports this, projecting faster growth in demand for tech professionals at non-tech firms than at tech firms.


Competing against hundreds of graduates is tough enough. Now, many young job seekers face another worry: rapid AI adoption.
Except for sectors like health and social services, where jobs are believed to be “human-centric” and less prone to automation, concerns about AI replacing junior roles are looming, especially in knowledge-based industries.
AI adoption is the highest in infocomm at 74.1%, followed by professional services at 57.5% and financial and insurance services at 56.4%, per MOM’s latest survey.
But the same survey suggests AI is, for now, reshaping work rather than eliminating jobs. Just 6.2% of adopting firms reported reducing headcount or hiring because of the technology.
Some industry watchers’ observations corroborate this.


Callam Pickering, Indeed’s senior APAC economist, said graduate demand picked up considerably in the first five months of 2026 versus the same period in 2025. Around 80% of those opportunities sit in occupations highly exposed to AI-driven transformation.
“This is not yet a market where recent graduates need to compromise,” he said.
Moreover, Sharon Tan, Vice-Dean (Industry Relations) at the National University of Singapore’s School of Computing, said AI adoption will create “a strong need for professionals who can design, build, evaluate and deploy these systems responsibly and effectively”.
“While hiring conditions may be more subdued now than during the recent technology boom, Singapore’s continued digitalisation and significant investments in AI research, innovation, infrastructure and enterprise adoption are expected to sustain demand for computing talent over the longer term,” she added.
Still, universities are increasingly weaving AI into existing curricula or launching AI-focused degrees to future-proof their students’ careers.
For students, demonstrating proper and effective AI use is critical, said Temasek Polytechnic’s Akhtar. They should learn to build applications using large language model APIs, document their process on platforms like GitHub, and show employers how AI enhances their work.
“Employers are looking at how you augment your thinking, rather than let AI replace your thinking,” he said.
In actuality, for many graduates, the bigger frustration right now isn’t AI taking their jobs—it’s AI deciding whether they even get an interview.
Several told the Straits Times that AI-driven resume screening has made hiring feel more opaque, with applications vanishing into what feels like a “black hole.” They agreed that waiting for responses that never come has become common.
Some graduates, like Gary, have accepted that hearing back from a recruiter is no longer guaranteed.
Out of the 150 applications he has sent since Jan, he has received only one verbal offer, but has not heard from the company for almost two months.

CISA is warning that the Russian state-sponsored hacking group Laundry Bear, also known as Void Blizzard, is targeting organizations using Zimbra Collaboration email servers by combining phishing attacks with the exploitation of a now-patched Zimbra vulnerability.
According to CISA, Laundry Bear has targeted and compromised users in organizations associated with the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), federal and local government, education, energy, law enforcement, media, non-governmental organizations, and technology.
The attackers exploit the Zimbra CVE-2025-66376 flaw, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Zimbra Collaboration Suite’s Classic UI.
The flaw allows JavaScript embedded in specially crafted HTML emails to execute automatically when a victim views the message, enabling attackers to steal account data without requiring the user to click a link or visit a phishing site.
According to CISA, Laundry Bear exploited the flaw as a zero-day before Zimbra patched it in November 2025 and continues to target organizations running unpatched servers. The vulnerability was later tagged by CISA as actively exploited in attacks.
CISA says Laundry Bear’s exploit is used to automatically collect and send the victim’s last 90 days of emails, email address, password, Global Address List (GAL), and two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens.
The attackers also create and send back a new Zimbra application passcode, which is used by legacy email clients like IMAP or ActiveSync that do not support the TOTP authentication flows. Using a passcode allows the attackers to retain access to the email account while bypassing MFA.
According to CISA, the malware exfiltrates stolen information over both DNS and HTTPS to an actor-controlled server running the group’s “Flowerbed” collection framework.
Smaller data is encoded and transmitted in DNS A-record queries, while larger payloads, including mailbox data, are uploaded over HTTPS as compressed archives to the attacker-controlled servers.
In addition to exploiting the Zimbra flaw, Laundry Bear also utilizes adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing kits designed to impersonate legitimate Zimbra login portals, stealing credentials and session cookies, allowing the attackers to gain access to targets’ email accounts.
CISA released IOCs that show the campaign used sites that impersonate Zimbra infrastructure, using domain names like ‘mailnalysis.com’, ’emailanalytics.com.ua’, ‘zimbrastat.com’, ‘zimbra-metadata.com’, ‘istc-cloud.com’, and ‘zmailanalytics.com’.
The advisory recommends that organizations using Zimbra:
CISA also recommends implementing phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication where possible.
The Laundry Bear hacking group was first attributed to cyberespionage attacks in May 2025 by the Dutch intelligence agencies.
The Dutch agencies publicly attributed the group to a 2024 compromise of the Dutch National Police that exposed the personal information of police personnel and led to the identification of a previously unknown Russian espionage group.
Microsoft tracks the same group under the name Void Blizzard.
Since at least 2024, the group has focused on intelligence collection against organizations aligned with Russian strategic interests, primarily targeting NATO member states and Ukraine.
Microsoft has also documented successful compromises of organizations supporting Ukraine, including entities in the defense, transportation, and aviation sectors.
Earlier this year, BleepingComputer reported on a separate Laundry Bear campaign targeting Ukraine’s military using charity-themed phishing emails to deliver malware disguised as donation requests.

Mozilla has released Firefox 153, giving people a built-in way to keep work, personal, shopping, and banking activity apart. The update began rolling out to Release channel users on July 21 and also introduces HDR video playback on Windows, PDF improvements, and tighter controls over local files and network devices.
Containers open tabs in isolated spaces where cookies, logins, and site storage are not shared. Someone can remain signed into two accounts on the same website, keep a work Google account away from personal YouTube activity, or stop shopping cookies from following everyday browsing.
The feature is designed for people who regularly manage different online identities but do not want to rely on private windows or separate browser profiles. Company services can stay inside a Work container, financial websites inside Banking, and online stores inside Shopping.
Each container can have its own name, color, and icon, making its tabs easy to identify. To open one, right-click a tab and select “Open in New Container Tab.” Firefox includes Personal, Work, Banking, and Shopping categories, while custom options can also be created.

The technology itself is not new. Mozilla has offered it for years through the Multi-Account Containers extension. Firefox 153 builds the core experience into the browser, removing the need for an add-on for basic tab isolation.
The extension still offers more advanced controls, including assigning websites to specific containers and connecting individual containers through Mozilla VPN. Existing users can continue running it alongside the native feature.
Firefox can now play HDR video on compatible Windows displays when HDR is enabled in system settings. Pages can also be shared through QR codes, while the PDF editor can merge files and add images as new pages.
Other additions include an address-bar color picker and experimental JPEG XL support through Firefox Labs. Extensions must now request separate permission to access local files, and websites need approval before connecting to devices or services on a local network.
For anyone who prefers a Chromium-based browser, Brave recently added a similar Containers feature to its desktop app. It offers the same basic way to keep accounts, cookies, and browsing sessions separate without switching profiles.
The pushrod engine has been around for well over a century, powering everything from muscle cars and trucks to marine engines and small-block V8s that built entire legacies. A pushrod engine places its camshaft inside the engine block rather than up in the head, using a system of lifters, pushrods, and rocker arms to open and close the valves.
That design keeps the engine shorter, lighter, and simpler than an overhead-cam layout, since there’s no need for cam chains, belts, or extra hardware. Fewer moving parts also means fewer things to service and fewer failure points, which is a big reason Chevy still builds pushrod V8s for the Chevrolet Corvette, Camaro, and its full-size trucks.
Be that as it may, the automotive landscape has shifted. Between emissions regulations and a global push toward smaller displacement, engineers have leaned hard into forced induction. Small turbocharged units have replaced many naturally aspirated pushrod setups, promising more power from less size, better efficiency, and improved fuel economy.
Turbochargers let a smaller engine punch above its weight by forcing more air into the cylinders. Despite the marketing push toward turbocharged downsizing, a handful of pushrod engines still put out numbers that make modern turbo mills look over-engineered by comparison. Here are five pushrod engines that still outpace modern turbocharger tech.
A pushrod V8, in many people’s eyes, is associated directly with muscle car power, and when it comes to final bosses of the modern muscle car game, few of them can come close to the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. Feed the Demon 170’s supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI pushrod V8 a tank of E85 and the output climbs to 1,025 hp and 945 lb-ft of torque.
Drop back to E10 pump gas and those numbers settle to 900 hp and 810 lb-ft. Dodge’s turbocharged replacement for that HEMI, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six sold as SIXPACK, peaks at 550 hp and 531 lb-ft in its highest state of tune — nearly 500 hp short of the outgoing pushrod V8. Dodge puts the Demon 170’s launch force above 2 g.
This figure the brand says no other production car has matched, and opens each run with a 1.66-second sprint to 60 mph. On a prepped strip, that translates to an NHRA-verified quarter-mile pass of 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph, making the Demon 170 the first muscle car sold from a factory showroom to break into eight-second territory.
Top speed is a different story: the Demon 170 is electronically limited to 149 mph to protect its drag radials, since Dodge built this engine to win off the line, not at the top end. Even so, that quarter-mile number holds up: Yangwang’s claimed figure for its 3,000-hp electric U9 Xtreme hypercar is 9.78 seconds — nearly a full second behind the archaic pushrod Dodge.
Some engines get their power from engineering wizardry — exotic alloys, tight tolerances, sky-high rpm. Others get there through sheer displacement, and making that many cubic inches survive four-figure horsepower is its own kind of engineering. The Chevy 632 Big Block crate engine is the latter. Displacing 632 cubic inches (10.4 liters) and relying on nothing but the atmosphere to fill its cylinders.
This big-block pushrod V8 dynos at 1,004 hp at 6,600 rpm and 876 lb-ft of torque at 5,600 rpm, and Chevrolet’s own spec sheet calls for premium pump gas rated 93 octane or higher. Every intake and exhaust port on the CNC-machined aluminum heads is cut to the same size and shape — a departure from the port-to-port variation typical of big-block Chevys.
Chevrolet credits the design, dubbed RS-X Symmetrical Port, to Ron Sperry, capping a GM powertrain career that spanned more than five decades. Chevrolet says it validated the design by putting a single example through the equivalent of more than 200 dyno-simulated drag-strip runs before the engine went into production.
Since the ZZ632 ships without a car attached, there’s no factory quarter-mile or 0-60 figure on record. The trade site OnAllCylinders modeled the engine in drag-strip simulation software rather than a real track pass, plugging it into a theoretical 1966 Chevelle. Their quickest projected combination — a 3,425-lb build on 13-inch slicks — came out to an estimated 8.98 seconds at 151.3 mph.
GM stopped selling the C7-generation Corvette ZR1, but its supercharged LT5 pushrod V8 still holds up as one of the strongest engines Chevrolet has ever put in a Corvette. The 6.2-liter LT5 carries an SAE certification of 755 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque — numbers GM stood behind well enough to put the badge on paperwork, not just a press release.
That supercharger displaces 2.6 liters, up from the 1.7-liter Eaton unit on the Z06’s LT4 — a 52 percent difference by volume. Spinning its rotors to nearly 15,900 rpm to build 13.96 psi of boost costs the engine up to 110 hp on its own, at a steady 80-mph cruise the supercharger draws only about 1 hp with virtually no boost applied.
Feeding those cylinders is a combined direct- and port-injection fuel system. Chevrolet’s factory numbers for the ZR1 were a 2.9-second 0-60 and a 10.6-second quarter mile at 134 mph. When MotorTrend put the car on its own scales, they came up a touch short of that — 3.0 seconds and a 10.8-second pass at 133.1 mph — a gap the magazine chalked up to filling the tank with 91-octane instead of the 93 Chevy recommends.
At 212 mph, Chevrolet says the combination of the car’s aero upgrades give it 950 pounds of downforce, or in other words, around 60% better over the ZO6/ZO7 The LT6 and the LT7 that succeeded adopted a flat-plane crank V8, meaning that the LT5 ZO6 is the most powerful pushrod V8 the front-engined Corvette ever had.
The Demon 170’s supercharged HEMI and the Ram 1500 TRX’s supercharged HEMI both trace back to the same 6.2-liter Hellcat block. However, Dodge’s Demon 170 engine barely resembles earlier Hellcat builds — Motor1 reports that “the camshaft is the only significant engine part that carries over from earlier versions.”
The TRX runs a standard-tune Hellcat instead, without the Demon’s bespoke supercharger or reinforced internals. Output for the TRX Final Edition comes in at 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The quarter mile went by in 12.9 seconds at a 108-mph trap speed, a run preceded by a roughly four-second dash to 60 mph.
Because its off-road tires aren’t built for sustained high speed, Ram caps the TRX electronically at 118 mph. Strip the same Hellcat architecture out of a four-wheel-drive pickup and into a lighter, rear-drive coupe, and the numbers shift substantially. A closer look at the Dodge Hellcat Redeye 6.2-liter engine unveils 797 horsepower.
The automaker’s own figures show it crossing 60 mph at 3.6 seconds. The range-topping Super Stock trim goes further still: Dodge’s own number for that version is 3.25 seconds to 60 mph. On the strip, Dodge’s claimed quarter-mile times were 10.8 seconds for the widebody Redeye and 11.1 for the standard car, with both versions carrying a claimed top speed of 203 mph.
As mentioned with the LT5, that engine is essentially the LT4 with a much larger Eaton supercharger bolted on, pushing output up to 755 hp. But the LT4 on its own, without that upgrade, still hits plenty hard — including under the hood of a three-row SUV built to seat seven. Cadillac hadn’t put a supercharged V8 under anything since the CTS-V left production, until the Escalade-V revived the format.
Its supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 makes 682 hp at 6,000 rpm and 653 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm — the same cam-in-block pushrod architecture that also powered the CTS-V and the previous-generation Corvette Z06. Cadillac’s own figures put the Escalade-V at 4.4 seconds to 60 mph and a 12.74-second quarter mile. Car and Driver‘s independent testing came back a touch quicker — 4.3 seconds to 60 and a 12.7-second pass at 111 mph.
Although it may not sound as impressive as some other engines on this list, on a vehicle that weighs over 6,200 lbs fully loaded, these numbers are impressive. Cadillac electronically caps the Escalade-V’s top speed at 125 mph. For a spot of context, BMW’s rival in the full-size performance-SUV segment, the X5 M Competition, pairs a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with 553 lb-ft of torque and a 617-hp ceiling — 65 hp and 100 lb-ft short of the supercharged Cadillac.
This list isn’t exhaustive, and it isn’t meant to be. Nearly every engine here has a hotter sibling hiding somewhere; tuners like Hennessey and Lingenfelter have pushed the same LT4 and Hellcat blocks well past four-figure horsepower, aftermarket 632-cubic-inch big blocks can be built to outrun the ZZ632’s rated output once nitrous or boost gets added, and even the Demon 170 has owners running superchargers a size larger than what left the factory.
None of that changes the point of this list. In their factory, as-sold form, these five sit at or near the top of what a production pushrod engine has ever done, and in plenty of head-to-head matchups, they still out-muscle many modern and sophisticated turbocharged rivals. Every figure here traces back to where it actually came from.
Horsepower and torque ratings are pulled from manufacturer newsrooms and press materials directly — Chevrolet’s, Dodge’s, Cadillac’s, and BMW’s own releases and product pages, plus Stellantis Media for the Demon 170’s launch specs. Acceleration and quarter-mile numbers lean on independent, instrumented testing from MotorTrend, Car and Driver, and Motor Authority wherever a real test existed, rather than taking a brand’s claim at face value.
Technical and engineering detail came from trade outlets that specialize in it — Motor1, AutoEvolution, Forbes, MotorAuthority, GM Authority, CAR Magazine, and OnAllCylinders among them. Where no real-world test existed, as with the ZZ632, that gap is stated outright instead of dressed up as fact.
LG’s 85-inch QNED Mini LED TV has just dropped below $1000, a genuinely rare price for a screen this size.
That’s thanks to a 30% cut on the LG QNED73B that takes the price down from its $1,399.99 list price to $979.99, a straight $420 saving on one of LG’s largest Mini LED screens available this year.
This 85 inch LG mini LED TV has just fallen below $1000
LG’s 85 inch QNED Mini LED TV, with Dynamic QNED Color and AI-powered 4K upscaling, now drops to just $979.99 from $1,399.99, $420 off.

Mini LED backlighting is what makes the picture worth talking about here, since it packs far more individually controlled dimming zones than a standard LED panel, and LG pairs that with Dynamic QNED Color certified for 100% Color Volume.
Driving all of that is LG’s a7 AI Processor 4K Gen9, which handles the upscaling, brightness control, and dynamic tone mapping needed to keep older, non-native 4K content looking sharp on a screen this large.
Filmmaker Mode adds another layer for film fans specifically, stripping out the usual motion smoothing and preserving a director’s original colours, settings and frame rates, while Ambient Light Technology adjusts automatically for whatever room lighting you’re watching in.
Gamers get looked after too, with AMD FreeSync Premium and ALLM keeping input lag down, plus a dedicated Game Dashboard and Game Optimizer that put frame rate, VRR and low latency settings all in one place.


On the software side, webOS now brings Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot into the mix alongside more than 400 free LG Channels and over 10,000 on-demand movies and shows, all without needing a separate streaming box.
Physically, it’s built to be wall-mounted or stood on its included stand, weighing 65.3 pounds without that stand and pairing three HDMI ports with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for consoles, soundbars and streaming boxes alike.
At $979.99, an 85-inch Mini LED 4K set with this much AI-powered picture processing, dedicated gaming tools, and free streaming content already built in is hard to match at this size, making it a compelling big-screen upgrade right now.
