Throughout its almost seventy-year existence, numerous events rocked the foundation of the union, sometimes having profound effects on the rest of the world. HBO’s recent miniseries, Chernobyl, explored the 1986 disaster in depth. However, many other historical events from the region also deserve a closer look....

Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that he doesn’t think it likely that the Chinese government will target the iPhone maker in retaliation for Trump administration policies. The US has imposed 25% tariffs on many products imported from China, and Trump has threatened to extend this to all Chinese imports … Some Apple accessories are already taxed at 25%, and Trump’s threat would see all Apple products made in China and sold in the US hit by the tariff – resulting in either steep price increases or reduced profitability for the company....

The Church of Night is a massive influence on the plot of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. While completely absent from the Sabrina show of the ’90s, the new version couldn’t be done without it.

The implant is believed to be the work of APT41, a Chinese-speaking sophisticated hacking group also known as Winnti or Double Dragon. On January 20, Kaspersky researchers said that at the end of last year, the team uncovered a case of Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) compromise caused by the modification of one component in the firmware – a core element called SPI flash, located on the motherboard. “Due to its emplacement on SPI flash, which is located on the motherboard instead of the hard disk, the implant is capable of persisting in the system across disk formatting or replacement,” the team noted....
