Netgear was told in January its routers can be hacked and hijacked. This week, first patches released – after exploits, details made public

Posted on by Robin Edgar

Netgear has issued patches to squash security vulnerabilities in two router models that can be exploited to, for instance, open a superuser-level telnet backdoor. Those two devices are the R6400v2 and R6700v3, and you can get hot-fixes for the holes here. However, some 77 models remain reportedly vulnerable, and no fixes are available. For the Read more about Netgear was told in January its routers can be hacked and hijacked. This week, first patches released – after exploits, details made public[…]

Massive spying on users of Google’s Chrome shows new security weakness

Posted on by Robin Edgar

A newly discovered spyware effort attacked users through 32 million downloads of extensions to Google’s market-leading Chrome web browser, researchers at Awake Security told Reuters, highlighting the tech industry’s failure to protect browsers as they are used more for email, payroll and other sensitive functions. Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google said it removed more than 70 Read more about Massive spying on users of Google’s Chrome shows new security weakness[…]

Google isn’t even trying to not be creepy: ‘Continuous Match Mode’ in Assistant will listen to everything until it’s disabled

Posted on by Robin Edgar

Google has introduced “continuous match mode” for apps on its voice-powered Assistant platform, where it will listen to everything without pausing. At the same time it has debuted related developer tools, new features, and the ability to display web content on its Smart Display hardware using the AMP component framework. The Chocolate Factory has big Read more about Google isn’t even trying to not be creepy: ‘Continuous Match Mode’ in Assistant will listen to everything until it’s disabled[…]

Groundbreaking Technology Allows 3D Tissues To Be Printed Directly Into Human Body

Posted on by Robin Edgar

LOS ANGELES — The world of 3D printing has come so far that scientists can actually produce biological products like bone, skin and blood vessels. Of course, there are numerous safety risks involved in using 3D-printed body parts in human patients. There is progress on that front, though. Scientists have developed a method for printing Read more about Groundbreaking Technology Allows 3D Tissues To Be Printed Directly Into Human Body[…]

New Technique Allows 3D Printing of Flexible Materials using droplets

Posted on by Robin Edgar

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a new approach to 3D printing that allows printing of finely tuned flexible materials. By using a droplet-based, multiphase microfluidic system, the team was able to efficiently print materials with potential applications in soft robotics, tissue engineering and wearable technology. The work is published June 15 Read more about New Technique Allows 3D Printing of Flexible Materials using droplets[…]

3d Printing tissue inside the body

Posted on by Robin Edgar

Abstract We develop and characterize a biomaterial formulation and robotic methods tailored for intracorporeal tissue engineering (TE) via direct-write (DW) 3D printing. Intracorporeal TE is defined as the biofabrication of 3D TE scaffolds inside of a living patient, in a minimally invasive manner. A biomaterial for intracorporeal TE requires to be 3D printable and crosslinkable Read more about 3d Printing tissue inside the body[…]
