A new study shows that common baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) can survive Mars-like conditions, including meteorite shock waves and toxic perchlorate salts found in Martian soil. Phys.org reports: Published in PNAS Nexus, Purusharth I. Rajyaguru and colleagues subjected Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is a widely used model yeast, to shock waves and perchlorates. The authors chose the yeast in part because it has already been studied in space. When stressed, yeast, humans, and many other organisms form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) condensates, structures made of RNA and proteins that protect RNA and affect the fates of mRNAs. When the stressor passes, the RNP condensates, which include subtypes known as stress granules and P-bodies, disassemble. The authors simulated Martian shock waves at the High-Intensity Shock Tube for Astrochemistry (HISTA) housed in the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, India. Yeast exposed to 5.6 Mach intensity shock waves survived with slowed growth, as did yeast subjected to 100 mM sodium salt of perchlorate (NaClO4) -- a concentration similar to that in Martian soils. Yeast cells also survived exposure to the combined stress of shock waves and perchlorate stress. In both cases, the yeast assembled RNP condensates. Shock waves induced the assembly of stress granules and P-bodies; perchlorate caused yeast to make P-bodies but not stress granules. Mutants incapable of assembling RNP condensates were poor at surviving the Martian stress condition. Transcriptome analysis identified specific RNA transcripts perturbed by Mars-like conditions.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: On Monday, a publicly-sourced archive of more than 10,000 national park signs and monument placards went public as part of a massive volunteer project to save historical and educational placards from around the country that risk removal by the Trump administration. Visitors to national parks and other public monuments at more than 300 sites across the U.S. took photos of signs and submitted them to the archive to be saved in case they're ever removed in the wake of the Trump administration's rewriting of park history. The full archive is available here, with submissions from July to the end of September. The signs people have captured include historical photos from Alcatraz, stories from the African American Civil War Memorial, photos and accounts from the Brown v. Board of Education National History Park, and hundreds more sites. "I'm so excited to share this collaborative photo collection with the public. As librarians, our goal is to preserve the knowledge and stories told in these signs. We want to put the signs back in the people's hands," Jenny McBurney, Government Publications Librarian at the University of Minnesota and one of the co-founders of the Save Our Signs project, said in a press release. "We are so grateful for all the people who have contributed their time and energy to this project. The outpouring of support has been so heartening. We hope the launch of this archive is a way for people to see all their work come together."

Banyak pemain slot online di AVATARSLOT88 yang penasaran: apakah pola slot demo bisa membantu menang di versi asli? Jawabannya — ya, bisa banget! Tapi tentu dengan pemahaman yang tepat tentang cara membaca pola slot demo hari ini, mengenali jam gacor demo, dan menyesuaikan strategi spin. Artikel ini akan membahas secara mendalam bagaimana kamu bisa memanfaatkan mode demo untuk menemukan “pola gacor” tanpa kehilangan saldo sepeser pun.

Mengapa Harus Coba Pola Slot Demo Sebelum Main Asli?

Bermain di mode demo bukan hanya untuk bersenang-senang, tapi juga menjadi langkah cerdas untuk menguji strategi kemenangan.
Banyak pemain profesional menggunakan pola slot demo untuk mengamati ritme spin, volatilitas game, dan seberapa sering simbol scatter muncul.

Selain itu, slot demo membantu kamu memahami fitur bonus seperti free spin, buy feature, hingga multiplier, tanpa tekanan kehilangan uang sungguhan.

Contoh nyata: Seorang pemain di komunitas slot Thailand mengaku mencoba 5 pola spin berbeda di versi demo Sweet Bonanza. Setelah menemukan pola stabil (turun scatter tiap 20 spin), ia terapkan di versi asli — dan hasilnya, profit 400% dalam 2 jam.

Pola Terbaru Slot Demo Hari Ini

Berdasarkan pengamatan banyak pemain dan data komunitas, ada beberapa pola spin demo yang terbukti sering memunculkan scatter dan kombinasi besar.

1. Pola Spin Naik-Turun (Progressive Pattern)

Strategi ini memanfaatkan variasi jumlah spin otomatis dengan pola 10-30-50.

• Langkah 1: Jalankan 10 spin otomatis.
• Langkah 2: Tambah ke 30 spin, lalu 50 spin jika tanda scatter mulai sering muncul.
• Langkah 3: Hentikan sesaat, lalu ulangi lagi dari awal.

Pola ini cocok untuk slot volatilitas sedang seperti Gates of Olympus atau Sugar Rush.

2. Pola Manual 10x Turbo – 5x Normal

Kombinasi ini memberi efek “reset ritme RNG”. Banyak yang melaporkan pola slot demo ini efektif meningkatkan peluang free spin dalam 50 kali percobaan.

Berdasarkan tes komunitas pemain Pragmatic Play, Sweet Bonanza Xmas menunjukkan scatter lebih cepat muncul setelah 3 siklus pola ini.

Jam Gacor Berdasarkan Data Pemain

Jam bermain ternyata juga berpengaruh terhadap performa slot demo. Meskipun hasil tidak selalu sama, data komunitas menunjukkan beberapa jam gacor demo yang patut dicoba:

Waktu Persentase Scatter Muncul Catatan 00.00 – 02.00 79% Waktu paling aktif server global 10.00 – 13.00 68% Cocok untuk uji pola di siang hari 20.00 – 23.00 72% Jam santai, sering muncul big win Kenapa Jam Gacor Bisa Berbeda?

Server slot memiliki frekuensi RTP (Return to Player) dinamis. Jadi, walau jam gacor demo bisa menjadi acuan, hasilnya tetap tergantung pada RNG (Random Number Generator).

Namun, banyak pemain yang berhasil mencocokkan pola spin mereka dengan waktu server aktif — hasilnya jauh lebih konsisten.

Tips Uji Pola Slot Demo Agar Lebih Akurat 1. Catat Setiap Pola yang Kamu Coba

Gunakan spreadsheet sederhana untuk mencatat:

• Nama game
• Jumlah spin sebelum scatter muncul
• Pola spin (manual, turbo, auto)
• Jam bermain

Data ini berguna untuk melihat tren. Misalnya, jika scatter sering muncul antara spin ke-20 hingga 40, kamu bisa menggunakannya sebagai indikator timing gacor.

2. Gunakan Fitur Buy Feature Secara Terukur

Jika slot demo memiliki fitur Buy Feature, gunakan untuk mengetahui seberapa sering free spin menghasilkan multiplier besar. Ini berguna untuk menilai potensi slot sebelum bermain dengan uang asli.

3. Fokus pada 1–2 Game per Sesi

Jangan berpindah terlalu cepat. Uji minimal 100–200 spin per game agar hasil pola slot demo yang kamu dapat benar-benar valid.

Apakah Pola Demo Bisa Dipakai di Slot Real?

Pertanyaan ini sering muncul di komunitas slot online. Jawabannya: bisa, tapi tidak 100% identik.

Penjelasan:

Slot demo dan slot real biasanya menggunakan mesin RNG (Random Number Generator) yang sama. Namun, setting RTP dan volatilitasnya bisa sedikit berbeda, tergantung operator dan penyedia game.

Jadi, pola yang kamu temukan di demo tetap relevan — tapi anggap sebagai simulasi prediksi, bukan jaminan mutlak.

Strategi Lanjutan: Gunakan Pola Demo untuk Membangun Insting Bermain

Selain data dan angka, insting juga penting. Dengan sering mencoba pola slot demo hari ini, kamu melatih kepekaan terhadap:

• Irama simbol jatuh
• Timing terbaik untuk ganti mode spin
• Tanda-tanda scatter akan muncul (misalnya suara atau animasi tertentu)

Pemain berpengalaman menyebut ini sebagai “feeling slot gacor” — kemampuan membaca momentum game.

Contoh Pola Gacor Berdasarkan Data Terbaru Nama Slot Pola Gacor Terbukti Jam Gacor Gates of Olympus 10x turbo – 20x auto – 5x manual 01.00 – 03.00 Starlight Princess 15x turbo – 10x manual 11.00 – 13.00 Sweet Bonanza 30x auto – stop – 10x manual 20.00 – 22.00

Data ini diambil dari hasil uji 500 spin oleh komunitas slot Asia pada bulan ini.

Kesimpulan: Uji Pola Slot Demo Hari Ini Sebelum Main Asli

Bermain di mode demo bukan sekadar hiburan — tapi strategi cerdas untuk membaca ritme kemenangan.
Dengan memahami pola slot demo, mencoba berbagai pola spin demo, dan memperhatikan jam gacor demo, kamu bisa menyusun rencana bermain yang lebih efisien sebelum turun ke mode uang asli.

Ingat, kemenangan besar sering datang dari persiapan matang, bukan sekadar keberuntungan. Jadi jangan takut bereksperimen dan temukan “pola sakti” versimu sendiri hari ini!

The U.S. Department of Justice seized about $15 billion in bitcoin from wallets tied to Chen Zhi, founder of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group, who is accused of running one of the world's biggest "pig butchering" scams. Prosecutors say Zhi's network trafficked people into forced-labor scam compounds that defrauded victims worldwide through fake crypto investment schemes. CNBC reports: The seizure is the largest forfeiture action by the DOJ in history. An indictment charging the alleged pig butcher, Chen Zhi, was unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn, New York. Zhi, who is also known as "Vincent," remains at large, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York. He was identified in court filings as the founder and chairman of Prince Holding Group, a multinational business conglomerate based in Cambodia, which prosecutors said grew "in secret .... into one of Asia's largest transnational criminal organizations. [...] The scams duped people contacted via social media and messaging applications online into transferring cryptocurrency into accounts controlled by the scheme with false promises that the crypto would be invested and produce profits, according to the office. "In reality, the funds were stolen from the victims and laundered for the benefit of the perpetrators," the release said. "The scam perpetrators often built relationships with their victims over time, earning their trust before stealing their funds." Prosecutors said that hundreds of people were trafficked and forced to work in the scam compounds, "often under the threat of violence." Zhi and a network of top executives in the Prince Group are accused of using political influence in multiple countries to protect their criminal enterprise and paid bribes to public officials to avoid actions by law enforcement authorities targeting the scheme, according to prosecutors.

5 ways the Linux nmap command can help keep your network secure  ZDNET

Immutable Linux delivers serious security - here are your 5 best options  ZDNET

Roughly 200,000 Linux-based Framework laptops shipped with a signed UEFI shell command (mm) that can be abused to bypass Secure Boot protections -- allowing attackers to load persistent bootkits like BlackLotus or HybridPetya. Framework has begun patching affected models, though some fixes and DBX updates are still pending. BleepingComputer reports: According to firmware security company Eclypsium, the problem stems from including a 'memory modify' (mm) command in legitimately signed UEFI shells that Framework shipped with its systems. The command provides direct read/write access to system memory and is intended for low-level diagnostics and firmware debugging. However, it can also be leveraged to break the Secure Boot trust chain by targeting the gSecurity2 variable, a critical component in the process of verifying the signatures of UEFI modules. The mm command can be abused to overwrite gSecurity2 with NULL, effectively disabling signature verification. "This command writes zeros to the memory location containing the security handler pointer, effectively disabling signature verification for all subsequent module loads." The researchers also note that the attack can be automated via startup scripts to persist across reboots.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Associated Press: Google announced on Tuesday that it will invest $15 billion in India over the next five years to establish its first artificial intelligence hub in the country. Located in the southern city of Visakhapatnam, the hub will be one of Google's largest globally. It will feature gigawatt-scale data center operations, extensive energy infrastructure and an expanded fiber-optic network, the company said in a statement. The investment underscores Google's growing reliance on India as a key technology and talent base in the global race for AI dominance. For India, it brings in high-value infrastructure and foreign investment at a scale that can accelerate its digital transformation ambitions. Google said its AI hub investment will include construction of a new international subsea gateway that would connect to the company's more than 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) of existing terrestrial and subsea cables. "The initiative creates substantial economic and societal opportunities for both India and the United States, while pioneering a generational shift in AI capability," the company's statement said.

Longtime Slashdot reader Gadi Evron writes: Bruce Schneier and Barath Raghavan say agentic AI is already broken at the core. In their IEEE Security & Privacy essay, they argue that AI agents run on untrusted data, use unverified tools, and make decisions in hostile environments. Every part of the OODA loop (observe, orient, decide, act) is open to attack. Prompt injection, data poisoning, and tool misuse corrupt the system from the inside. The model's strength, treating all input as equal, also makes it exploitable. They call this the AI security trilemma: fast, smart, or secure. Pick two. Integrity isn't a feature you bolt on later. It has to be built in from the start. "Computer security has evolved over the decades," the authors wrote. "We addressed availability despite failures through replication and decentralization. We addressed confidentiality despite breaches using authenticated encryption. Now we need to address integrity despite corruption." "Trustworthy AI agents require integrity because we can't build reliable systems on unreliable foundations. The question isn't whether we can add integrity to AI but whether the architecture permits integrity at all."

Walmart announced a new partnership with OpenAI that will let customers shop using ChatGPT. "For many years now, eCommerce shopping experiences have consisted of a search bar and a long list of item responses. That is about to change," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement. NBC News reports: It was unclear Tuesday what the terms of the Walmart-AI partnership would be. The announcement also did not say when shoppers can expect to see ChatGPT integrated with their Walmart online shopping experiences, only that it's coming "soon." The OpenAI announcement is part of a broader push by Walmart, the biggest private employer in the U.S., to incorporate AI into its daily operations. "We're excited to partner with Walmart to make everyday purchases a little simpler. It's just one way AI will help people every day under our work together," Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, said in a statement. The partnership could also serve OpenAI by introducing ChatGPT to a massive set of consumers who may not be as accustomed to using AI chats in their shopping as OpenAI's core user base. "There is a native AI experience coming that is multi-media, personalized and contextual," said Walmart's McMillon.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Today is the official end-of-support date for Microsoft's Windows 10. That doesn't mean these PCs will suddenly stop working, but if you don't take action, it does mean your PC has received its last regular security patches and that Microsoft is washing its hands of technical support. This end-of-support date comes about a decade after the initial release of Windows 10, which is typical for most Windows versions. But it comes just four years after Windows 10 was replaced by Windows 11, a version with stricter system requirements that left many older-but-still-functional PCs with no officially supported upgrade path. As a result, Windows 10 still runs on roughly 40 percent of the world's Windows PCs (or around a third of US-based PCs), according to StatCounter data. But this end-of-support date also isn't set in stone. Home users with Windows 10 PCs can enroll in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which extends the support timeline by another year. [...] Home users can only get a one-year stay of execution for Windows 10, but IT administrators and other institutions with fleets of Windows 10 PCs can also pay for up to three years of ESUs, which is also roughly the amount of time users can expect new Microsoft Defender antivirus updates and updates for core apps like Microsoft Edge. Obviously, Microsoft's preferred upgrade path would be either an upgrade to Windows 11 for PCs that meet the requirements or an upgrade to a new PC that does support Windows 11. It's also still possible, at least for now, to install and run Windows 11 on unsupported PCs. Your day-to-day experience will generally be pretty good, though installing Microsoft's major yearly updates (like the upcoming Windows 11 25H2 update) can be a bit of a pain.

DirecTV wants to use AI to put you, your family, and your pets inside a custom TV screensaver. From a report: If that's not uncanny enough, you'll find items you can shop for within that AI environment, whether it's a piece of clothing similar to the one your AI likeness is wearing or a piece of furniture that pops up alongside it. The satellite TV giant is partnering with the AI company Glance to roll out this experience to DirecTV Gemini devices starting next year. "We are making television a lean-in experience versus lean back," Rajat Wanchoo, the group vice president of commercial partnerships at Glance, tells The Verge. "We want to give users a chance to use the advancements that have happened in generative AI to create a ChatGPT moment for themselves, but on TV." Glance is owned by InMobi, the same company that injected ecommerce bloatware into Motorola's budget phones.
