Russia Tests Hypersonic Missile at NATO's Doorstep--and Shares the Video

WIRED

Russian military exercises near NATO borders follow the recent incursion of Russian drones into the airspace of Poland and Romania, further stoking tensions with the West. On Sunday, Russia released images of its launch of a 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile from a frigate in the Barents Sea, in the Arctic Ocean, near NATO borders. The launch comes against a backdrop of rising tensions with the West, just days after several Russian drones violated the airspace of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries Poland and Romania. The Zircon test is part of the Zapad 2025 joint maneuvers with Belarus, a week of military exercises aimed at assessing defensive and coordination capabilities between the two allied countries. It also serves to show that Russia's military force has not lost its strength, despite heavy losses more than three years after the start of the invasion of Ukraine .

Only 1 type of alien life-form could make it to Earth's doorstep: Harvard expert

FOX News

A renowned astrophysicist is calling foul on reports of alien sightings in Earth's atmosphere, arguing that biological creatures would be unable to survive a journey to our planet. "It would take about a billion years to cross from one side of the Milky Way galaxy to the other," Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist, said during an appearance on GB News this week. "Given that, I don't think any spacecraft that would arrive to us from another star would carry biological creatures." Loeb's comments come amid increased reports of UFO sightings in recent years, with videos and pictures of supposed alien craft going viral across the internet. It also comes after NASA created a new position aimed at overseeing research on UFOs after a 2022 study by the agency determined that such sightings were unlikely to be caused by extraterrestrial life.

PCWorld

Budget smart home manufacturer Ring hasn't been feeling so budget lately with the likes of Wyze unleashing one ultra-cheap (and consistently impressive) smart gadget after another. But with its latest video doorbell, Amazon-owned Ring might lure some bargain-hunting smart home shoppers who have otherwise been going the Wyze way. The new Video Doorbell Wired marks Ring's smallest doorbell yet, and at $60, it's also the least expensive--not as inexpensive as the $30 Wyze Video Doorbell, mind you, but it's a start. Slated to ship on February 24, the Ring Video Doorbell Wired is a good $40 cheaper than Ring's least expensive doorbell, the battery-powered $100 Ring Video Doorbell. It's also much less pricey than Ring's two existing wired doorbells, the $250 Video Doorbell Pro and the $350 Video Doorbell EliteRemove non-product link.
