A neuromorphic computer is being created at the Kurchatov Institute
President of the Kurchatov Institute Mikhail Kovalchuk announced that the research center is creating a neuromorphic computer – a computing machine capable of working in much the same way as the brain works. In the future, such a computer could surpass artificial intelligence.
“You don’t actually reproduce intelligence and you can’t… You take an array of data and make it so that you can simultaneously process a huge amount of data… This is, roughly speaking, artificial intelligence. These are pure electrical costs… Therefore, it is necessary to develop energy and create a neuromorphic computer, that is, a computer that will be similar to the brain… This is what we are doing at the Kurchatov Institute“- said Mikhail Kovalchuk.
There are no technical details about the project, but the president of the Kurchatov Institute touched upon the topic of regulating advanced technologies. He believes that any technology is dangerous, so state control is needed.

Tiny Banana Pi BPI-M4 Zero computer unveiled – an improved alternative to the Raspberry Pi Zero

The Banana Pi BPI-M4 Zero is a tiny computer board or single board computer with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, 2GB LPDDR4 memory, 8GB eMMC flash memory, and a familiar form factor: it’s about the same size and shape as a Raspberry Pi Zero and even features a 40-pin Raspberry Pi compatible header.
The latest version of Raspberry Pi Zero has micro USB ports, BPI-M4 Zero has USB-C ports. Although both single board computers are equipped with Cortex-A53 processors, the Raspberry Pi 2 Zero W is equipped with a Broadcom BCM2710A chip clocked at 1 GHz, and the BPI-M4 Zero is equipped with an Allwinner H618 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. The same chip is used in another Raspberry Pi Zero clone – Orange Pi Zero 2W.
Banana Pi BPI-M4 Zero received the following ports and connectors:
- 1 x mini HDMI 2.0a;
- 1 USB Type-C OTG port supporting 5V/3A input voltage;
- 1 x USB Type C;
- 1 microSD card reader;
- 1 24-pin FPC (1 USB 2.0, 1 Ethernet 100 Mbps, 1 IR);
- 1 x 40-pin connector;
- 1 Wi-Fi 5 and BT 4.2 module.
The board has two status LEDs, a wireless antenna, and two hardware keys, including a reset button.
The Banana Pi BPI-M4 Zero measures 65 x 30 mm. The price has not yet been announced.

Fake Safari and Chrome updates for Mac contain malware that steals passwords and card data

New malware called Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), released in early 2023, targets Apple users. Using the latest version of malware, attackers inject AMOS into fake updates for Safari and Chrome browsers for Mac.
AMOS is a powerful piece of malware that, once installed on a victim’s computer, can steal iCloud Keychain passwords, credit card numbers, crypto wallets, files, and more.
After discovering the first AMOS threats in March and April, security researchers at Malwarebytes discovered in September that Mac users were installing AMOS through fake Google search ads.
Now, Malwarebytes reports that fake Safari and Chrome browser updates are now being used to install AMOS on victims’ Macs. The new AMOS approach is called ClearFake. Attackers use hacked websites to deliver fake Safari and Chrome updates.
Users are advised not to download software from untrusted or unknown sources – update Safari directly from your Mac in System Preferences or Chrome directly from Google or the Chrome app.

Microsoft introduced the Windows App for Mac, iPhone, Windows PC and other devices

At Ignite 2023, Microsoft announced a new Windows App for Windows devices, macOS, iOS and other platforms.
As the developers note, with its help, users can remotely connect to Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Dev Box or a personal remote desktop computer, wherever they are. A preview version of the Windows App is available for download from the Microsoft Store as well as Apple’s TestFlight program.
Microsoft says the Windows App is essentially a one-stop place to manage all your connected devices and apps.
At the top of the interface is a list of pinned devices, which in this case is a cloud PC with Windows 365, a Microsoft Dev Box, and an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). And then there is a list of pinned applications.
It is possible to navigate through the menus of other devices and applications, as well as the ability to expand lists. There is also a Settings option. Everything looks pretty simple and easy to navigate.
