โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US request prompts Planet Labs to withhold Iran war images

The Trump administration has asked satellite imagery providers to voluntarily withhold images of designated areas of interest due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, prompting Planet Labs PBC to restrict access to data from the region. The San Francisco-based commercial satellite provider said that the measures would apply retroactively from March 9 and are expected to remain in place until the conflict ends.

๐Ÿš€ Itโ€™s time for Artemis II to break Apollo 13โ€™s distance record: history in the making

In this new image from Artemis IIโ€™s crew, you can see Orientale basin on the right edge of the lunar disk. This mission marks the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes.

โ€œWeโ€™ll get eyes on the moon, kind of map it out and then continue to go back in force,โ€ โ€” said flight director Judd Frieling. The goal is a moon base replete with landers, rovers, drones and habitats.


The Artemis II astronauts are already the champions of a fresh new era of lunar exploration. Now itโ€™s time to set a new distance record. Artemis IIโ€™s astronauts are following the same figure-eight path since they are neither orbiting the moon nor landing on it. But their distance from Earth should exceed Apollo 13โ€™s by about 4,000 miles (6400 kilometers).

๐ŸŒ Samsung will discontinue its Messages app in July and replace it with Google's

The Samsung Messages application will be discontinued in July 2026. Samsung also recommended that anyone still using Samsung Messages switch over to Google Messages as the default messaging app.

The switch to Google offers RCS messaging that lets you send high-quality media, join group chats and get real-time typing indicators no matter the smartphone's OS. Galaxy smartphone owners may lose out on some of the Samsung Messages customization options, but Google Messages will make up for it generative AI from Gemini that can remix the photos in chats. On top of those features, Google Messages makes it easier for Samsung users to switch chats between a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch.

โœ‰๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russiaโ€™s VPN crackdown caused bank outage

Russiaโ€™s attempts to restrict the use of virtual private networks amid a clampdown on the Telegram messaging platform triggered the widespread banking outage seen across the country this week, the serviceโ€™s billionaire founder Pavel Durov said.

โ€œTelegram was banned in Russia, yet 65 million Russians still use it daily via VPNs,โ€โ€” Durov said in a post on Telegram. โ€œThe government has spent years trying to ban VPNs too. Their blocking attempts just triggered a massive banking failure; cash briefly became the only payment method nationwide yesterday.โ€

๐Ÿ”ฌResearchers train living rat neurons to perform real-time AI computations

A team at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate in Japan trained cultured rat cortical neurons to autonomously generate complex temporal signals using a real-time machine learning framework. They integrated the living neurons with high-density microelectrode arrays and microfluidic devices, creating a closed-loop reservoir computing system that learned to produce periodic and chaotic waveforms without any external input.

Using the lattice and hierarchical networks, the system learned to generate sine waves with periods of 4, 10, and 30 seconds, as well as triangle and square waves, and the same culture preparation could be retrained to oscillate at different frequencies. This work shows that living neuronal networks are not only biologically meaningful systems but may also serve as novel computational resources.

๐ŸŸฅ Copilot is โ€˜for entertainment purposes only,โ€™ according to Microsoftโ€™s terms of use

In recent days, the agreement has made the rounds on social media, where it's facing plenty of criticism since it seems to clash with Microsoftโ€™s marketing, which positions Copilot as a powerful and useful tool for users and businesses. Last fall, the company quietly updated the Copilot Terms of Use to note that:

โ€œCopilot is for entertainment purposes only,โ€ โ€” the company warned. โ€œIt can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Donโ€™t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.โ€


A Microsoft spokesperson told that the company will be updating what they described as โ€œlegacy language.โ€

โ€œAs the product has evolved, that language is no longer reflective of how Copilot is used today and will be altered with our next update,โ€ โ€” the spokesperson said.

๐Ÿ—ฃ AI may soon detect cancer just by listening to you speak

Scientists found that subtle changes in a personโ€™s voice can reveal abnormalities in the vocal folds. These โ€œvocal fold lesionsโ€ may be harmless, such as nodules or polyps, but they can also signal early-stage laryngeal cancer. The findings point to a potential new use for AI: identifying early warning signs of cancer through voice analysis.

With this dataset scientists could use vocal biomarkers to distinguish voices from patients with vocal fold lesions from those without such lesions. The researchers examined tone, pitch, volume, and clarity using the first public release of the Bridge2AI-Voice dataset, which includes 12,523 recordings from 306 participants across North America. The results suggest that Bridge2AI-Voice could soon help make the voice a practical biomarker for cancer risk in clinical care.
