Claim raised that Apple\'s Hide My Email may expose users\' real addresses

A claim has been raised that a vulnerability in Apple’s Hide My Email privacy feature could allow a user’s real email address to be traced. Security researcher Tyler Murphy said he found a bug that lets one-time email addresses generated by the feature be used to identify real addresses, and that he reported it to Apple more than a year ago. He said his exploits succeeded in tests, while Apple has not issued an official response.

Realta Fusion lights bulb with electricity recovered directly from nuclear fusion reaction

Wisconsin-based nuclear fusion startup Realta Fusion said it succeeded in recovering electricity directly from a fusion reaction and lighting bulbs. The company said it publicly demonstrated the method at its WHAM fusion test device and claimed it was the first private company to do so. Realta said it converted energy from alpha particles into electricity, producing about 100 volts and several amperes, and estimates direct conversion efficiency at about 90 percent.
