This Is the Most Detailed Image Yet of the Milky Way's Center
This Is the Most Detailed Image Yet of the Milky Way's Center The Euclid space telescope's stunning photo of our galaxy's "crowded heart" captures more than 60 million stars. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid space telescope has captured the largest and most detailed visible-light image ever obtained of the Milky Way's galactic bulge, the central region of our galaxy. The image is a mosaic containing more than 60 million stars, as well as nebulae and star clusters. It will allow scientists to confirm the possible presence of exoplanets using a microlensing technique and measure their masses with greater precision. Although Euclid was designed to observe billions of distant galaxies, its visible-light camera is sensitive enough to resolve individual stars at the center of the Milky Way--a region that is both extremely bright and densely populated--without being overwhelmed by the intense light.
Tech firms are blaming AI for mega device and console price rises
For years, buyers of tech could rely on a familiar trend - that older devices would get cheaper over time. That now seems to have stopped, or in some cases, completely reversed. Apple and Microsoft's Xbox have joined the firms hiking prices for devices and games consoles which are years old. They and other tech companies have pointed to the rising cost of crucial components needed to build their machines, laying the blame on AI. Compute-hungry data centres, which power AI, need more and more chips to keep up with demand from AI companies - which means the demand for them is far outstripping supply.

Three killed as Ukraine and Russia trade attacks overnight
Is the war entering a new phase? Russian overnight attacks have killed two people and wounded more than 20 across Ukraine, while Kyiv's attacks on Russian territory and occupied areas have killed one and wounded 10, according to local officials. Drone and bomb attacks hit multiple Ukrainian regions overnight into Saturday, killing one person in Sumy and one in Dnipropetrovsk, while nine people, including two children, were injured in attacks on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia. In Sumy district in the north, a man of 66 was killed in a Russian drone attack on a house, regional military Governor Oleh Hryhorov said, while a second statement referenced "a massive attack" elsewhere in the same region bordering Russia, which injured 10. Attacks on the southeastern town of Zaporizhzhia injured nine, including two children, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said. "The enemy attack caused extensive destruction to the city's civilian infrastructure," the service said.

Security News This Week: LastPass Users Had Their Data Stolen--Again
Plus: Former national security advisor John Bolton pleads guilty in classified-materials case, Microsoft helps take down major infostealer infrastructure, and more. A WIRED investigation this week offers insight into a predictive policing program in Bristol, England that has involved 23 separate models over more than a decade, intended to score the likelihood of specific individuals will perpetrate or be victims of different crimes. The investigation draws on data from public records requests and other reporting to reveal a messy law enforcement apparatus that has real implications for the community--but that most people in the area know nothing about. After the identities of members of Peter Thiel's private "Dialog" group were exposed last week, the organization claimed that a "criminal" hacker was behind the breach. But evidence shows that members' personal information--including that of a White House intelligence official and an active-duty special operations officer --was publicly accessible and likely exposed as the result of a Dialog website misconfiguration .

Why GTA 6 will launch without a disc - and what it means for gamers
Once, video games came with lots of physical goodies, such as guides, maps and manuals. Those days are mostly gone, but gamers have, up to now, usually been able to rely on one thing they could literally get their hands on - a disc. But when pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 went live on Wednesday, developer Rockstar said customers who opted for the physical edition would get a box that just contained a code for a digital download instead. It's not the first time a physical edition has launched this way. But if the makers of one of the biggest franchises in entertainment history has decided to follow suit, does that mean the disc is dead?
