Anyone worried that Star Trek: Section 31 would completely undermine the central ethos of Star Trek as a franchise has those fears confirmed within the first 10 minutes of the movie.Section 31 opens in the Mirror Universe, where we see a teenaged Phillipa Georgiou (portrayed here by Miku Martineau) give an arch, sub-Game of Thrones monologue before committing an atrocity, the final step in securing her role as Terran Emperor. The scenes of course lack any of the hope and optimism that define Trek, the belief in fundamental good of collaboration and understanding that the Mirror Universe (and Section 31 for that matter) was designed to underscore.But when Section 31 shifts to the movies present, something unexpected happens. Section 31 becomes so boring and ugly that it no longer can be seen as bad Star Trek. Heck, it cant even be called bad sci-fi or bad genre work. It seems to have no interest or understanding in doing any of them well.Section 31 catches up with Georgiou after she left the 32nd century in the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery. As those who watched Discovery will recall, Georgiou was an evil double of Michael Burnhams beloved late Captain. Even though her vicious tendencies led to her joining Starfleets black ops division Section 31, she remained a regular visitor on the Discovery and even traveled with the ship into the far future, until she was forced to return to the past.Section 31 reveals that Georgiou has been living on the edges of Federation space, operating a disreputable bar under a pseudonym. Shes pulled back into service when a Section 31 team under the command of augment Alok (Omari Hardwick) needs her help to find an incredibly destructive weapon. Rounding out the team is Vulcan (sort of, but I wont give that away here) Fuzz (Sven Ruygrok), the shapeshifting Quasi (Sam Richardson), the Deltan Melle (Humberly Gonzalez), a mech-suited warrior called Zeph (Robert Kazinsky), and human and Starfleet true believer Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl).As that cast list shows, Section 31 is fond of making references to Trek lore. Garrett, of course, will become the Captain of the Enterprise-C and a major character in the beloved Next Generation episode Yesterdays Enterprise. Quasi is a Chameloid, a member of the alien race played by Iman in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Aloks augments tie him to the Eugenics War and Trek big bad Khan Noonien Singh.But these references only serve as surface level easter eggs, which makes Section 31 more like a game of Fortnite with Star Trek skins than a feature-length continuation of the beloved franchise. In fact, Section 31 seems to pull most of its visual inspiration from video games, with shiny graphics and ostentatious camera movements. After the Mirror Universe prologue, were treated to a mission summary delivered directly to the audience, as if were players getting ready for the next level.To those without much investment in Star Trek, the video game analogy may not sound so bad. After all, weve had some really great video game adaptations lately, with Fallout and The Last of Us. But Section 31 feels more like last years doomed Borderlands movie, done so much worse.Yes, you read that right. All of the ugly visuals and self-satisfied humor that marred Borderlands appears in Section 31, except gaudier and louder. The characters speak in lingo thats gone out of date in 2025, let alone the far future (Chaos is my friend with benefits, says Garrett as a way of expressing her growing acceptance of disorder). Section 31 presents its team as a band of outcasts who constantly squabble, a trope done best most recently by James Gunn in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad.But instead of making the characters interesting or likable in any way, screenwriter Craig Sweeny writes everyone as a jerks who insult one another to prove their toughness. That doesnt prevent director Olatunde Osunsanmi (a Discovery veteran, like Sweeny) from treating each toothless one-liner as a Don Rickles-level burn, and cutting to a close-up of the roaster cackling at their own joke each and every time.Worse yet are the action sequences. No one expects the 62-year-old Yeoh to pull off the same fight sequences she did in Super Cop or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Yet, she still came up through the Hong Kong film industry and, as we saw in Everything Everywhere All at Once, knows how to fight on screen better than the average American performer.Join our mailing listGet the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!Whatever her skills at this point, Osunsanmi has no confidence in them. Not only does he shoot the fights with the same excessive cuts and shakiness found in most Western movies, but his camera seems actively disinterested in what Yeohs doing on screen. When Georgiou faces off against an assailant in an early scene, the fighters begin at the center of the frame. But as soon as they get close to each other, the camera pans to a singer pulling a microphone off the stage and running away.In fact, Osunsanmi shoots everything with that same level of distracting excess. Hes especially fond of snap zooms and sudden pullbacks, even when just showing two characters in conversation. Irritating as the tendency is, its also understandable, because neither the plot nor the character building in Section 31 deserve attention.Although its officially a movie, Section 31 feels more like the type of TV movies that could be a pilot we saw in the pre-streaming era. But its impossible to think that anyone would want enough of this to launch a sequel or another series. Instead, Section 31 is, at best, understood as proof that maybe Spocks Brain or Shades of Grey or, heck, all of Discovery season five arent so bad after all. At worst, it will be forgotten, never to have any influence on the future of Star Trek at all.Star Trek: Section 31 streams on Paramount+ on January 24.

Apple Watch users regularly credit the device with helping save their life during health scares and emergency situations. For the founder of Whole Foods, however, it was insight gained from the Apple Watch that helped him improve his life.Business Insider highlighted this week that Whole Foods founder John Mackey decided to give up drinking three years ago thanks in part to data collected by his Apple Watch.I wish Id stopped drinking 30 years ago, Mackey said. Thats 30 years of feeling good that I let go past.Mackey said hisApple Watchcontributed to his decision to cut alcohol out of his life for good.I was tracking my sleep, and some days I didnt sleep well, and some days I did sleep well, he recalled. So, I started to ask the question, Well, what did I do differently when I didnt sleep well?'Through sleep tracking with Apple Watch and reflecting on his habits, Mackey determined that more exercise and fewer large meals before bed meant better sleep. But the biggest insight was from a lack of deep sleep, according to the Apple Watch.Mackey also shared his experience in an interview on the PLANTSTRONG podcast last year. Mackey named AutoSleep as the app he used to track his sleep. In his own words:It [Apple Watch] changed my life. It got me off alcohol over two years ago. [] Well, I have an app on the Apple Watch called AutoSleep, and it tracks my sleep.I sleep with my watch and charge it in the morning when I get up.And Ive learned so much from it because it tells me about not only how long I sleep but my quality of sleep and how deep my sleep is. And I started to notice that anytime I drank even one beer or one glass of wine, my deep sleep went to zero. I got no deep sleep and my total sleep would drop about an hour.And I did numerous experiments because I actually liked alcohol and I didnt want to give it up. But the facts were so clear. Every time I drank, no deep sleep. And then I began to realize, wow, maybe I should just stop drinking.And so then the question became, do I want to sleep well or do I want to have a drink? And the answer so far for over two years has been, Id rather sleep well. But Ill hold out the possibility there might come a time when Id rather have the drink, but so far it hadnt hit me.Better sleep means a better life, and for the Whole Foods founder, sleep tracking with Apple Watch unlocked a key insight that inarguably provided answers for how to improve his.Sleep tracking is now a built-in feature on Apple Watch. Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are also capable of detecting signs of sleep apnea.Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

Jan 23, 2025Ravie LakshmananCloud Security / CryptojackingGoogle on Wednesday shed light on a financially motivated threat actor named TRIPLESTRENGTH for its opportunistic targeting of cloud environments for cryptojacking and on-premise ransomware attacks."This actor engaged in a variety of threat activity, including cryptocurrency mining operations on hijacked cloud resources and ransomware activity," the tech giant's cloud division said in its 11th Threat Horizons Report.TRIPLESTRENGTH engages in a trifecta of malicious attacks, including illicit cryptocurrency mining, ransomware and extortion, and advertising access to various cloud platforms, including Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Linode, OVHCloud, and Digital Ocean to other threat actors.Initial access to target cloud instances is facilitated by means of stolen credentials and cookies, some of which originate from Raccoon information stealer infection logs. The hijacked environments are then abused to create compute resources for mining cryptocurrencies.Subsequent versions of the campaign have been found to leverage highly privileged accounts to invite attacker-controlled accounts as billing contacts on the victim's cloud project in order to set up large compute resources for mining purposes.The cryptocurrency mining is carried out by using the unMiner application alongside the unMineable mining pool, with both CPU- and GPU-optimized mining algorithms employed depending on the target system.Perhaps somewhat unusually, TRIPLESTRENGTH's ransomware deployment operations have been focused on on-premises resources, rather than cloud infrastructure, employing lockers such as Phobos, RCRU64, and LokiLocker."In Telegram channels focused on hacking, actors linked to TRIPLESTRENGTH have posted advertisements for RCRU64 ransomware-as-a-service and also solicited partners to collaborate in ransomware and blackmail operations," Google Cloud said.In one RCRU64 ransomware incident in May 2024, the threat actors are said to have gained initial access via remote desktop protocol, followed by performing lateral movement and antivirus defense evasion steps to execute the ransomware on several hosts.TRIPLESTRENGTH has also been observed routinely advertising access to compromised servers, including those belonging to hosting providers and cloud platforms, on Telegram.Google said it has taken steps to counter these activities by enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent the risk of account takeover and rolling out improved logging to flag sensitive billing actions."A single stolen credential can initiate a chain reaction, granting attackers access to applications and data, both on-premises and in the cloud," the tech giant said."This access can be further exploited to compromise infrastructure through remote access services, manipulate MFA, and establish a trusted presence for subsequent social engineering attacks."Found this article interesting?

Stockholm startup Neko Health has made a big bet on consumers wanting to learn about their state of health and how to prevent things going wrong. Now, investors are making a big bet on Neko.The startup has raised a fresh $260 million in funding, a Series B that values Neko at $1.8 billion post-money, TechCrunch has learned exclusively.Neko will be using the capital to break into new markets like the U.S.; continue developing its diagnostics, potentially with acquisitions; and to open more clinics in response to demand. With its waitlist now at over 100,000 people up from 40,000 just a few months ago Neko has scanned and evaluated 10,000 patients to date in clinics in Stockholm and its newer market of London.Its very clear that theres incredible demand for a different way of thinking about health care, Hjalmar Nilsonne, the CEO and co-founder, said in an interview. He spoke to TechCrunch over a video link from New York, where he is working on laying the groundwork for setting up clinics in the U.S. market.The U.S. is a priority, he said, because right now it accounts for the most people on its waitlist outside of Europe. Of course, we want to come to the U.S. We think theres a lot we could contribute to the ecosystem here, made possible by this funding round, he added.Lightspeed Venture Partners, a new investor in the company, is leading this Series B, with General Catalyst, O.G. Venture Partners, Rosello, Lakestar and Atomico participating. The round follows a Series A of $65 million in 2023 from Lakestar, Atomico, General Catalyst and Prima Materia, the investment firm co-founded by Spotifys Daniel Ek, who happens to be the other co-founder of Neko. Prima Materia also seeded Neko with its initial funding but is not an investor in this latest round.Image Credits:Neko Health (opens in a new window)The funding and Nekos growth are coming at a time when demands are shifting in the world of healthcare.Around the world, whether healthcare systems are state-backed or privatized, theres been a rising focus on preventative healthcare to spot signs before they develop into problems, including to offset the costs of handling chronic and complex conditions in populations that are living longer than before.Alongside that, there has been a massive injection of technology into the worlds of medicine and health: new devices, new insights, and applications powered by, for example, artificial intelligence are changing how doctors are interacting with patients, what they are able to diagnose, and what patients are looking for in a medical environment.Not all of these advances are evolving seamlessly very far from it but they show few signs of going away, and Neko is playing into all of these changes.The Neko Health experience involves a visit to a clinic calm, futuristic, minimalist where, for 300, a customer gets an hour-long exam based around proprietary hardware and software. That exam generates millions of health data points, Neko says.Moles and other marks on your skin are detected and counted as part of a check for skin cancer; waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, heart rate, grip strength and other parameters are measured and used to determine whether you are at risk of metabolic syndrome, stroke, heart attack, diabetes and more. The visit includes a consultation with a doctor and recommendations for follow-ups if needed. Image Credits:Neko HealthThose follow-ups might come shortly after the initial visit for example, further monitoring of blood pressure or heart activity or it might be another full appointment the following year. Nilsonne said that currently 80% of its customers have rebooked and paid in advance for appointments in a years time.Considering Neko is a company that has staked its whole ethos on the power of data and advance planning, it had a fairly random start in life.It was co-founded back in 2018 after Ek reached out to Nilsonne over Twitter to chat about the state of the healthcare market in response to a tweet of Nilsonnes. Neither have backgrounds in the field Nilssons previous startup was in climate tech but through ongoing conversations, early ideas for Neko began to form.It took six years to bring together a team and work out Nekos vertically-integrated approach. Even so, Nilsonne said that Neko went into the market hoping for the best but unsure if their idea would resonate; now, according to the company, demand exceeds capacity.Looking ahead, along with building more clinics to take in more users, Neko is focused on R&D around its medical hardware and software.Its starting from a fairly low-tech baseline because of the costs until recently of building and owning medical devices. The average ECG machine in primary care is 15 years old, meaning the software is 15 years old, Nilsonne said. We have a completely different model where were vertically integrated, meaning we make these devices, we make the software, and we have the clinic.He added that Nekos aim is to have updates on a yearly cadence, bringing in more parameters to measure, and likely different tiers of service at different price points.The body scan today is kind of the iPod moment for Neko, he said. The iPod was an iconic product that people loved, and that was exciting. But no one today is using an iPod. It enabled Apple to invest in this incredible paradigm of hand held computational devices. So we very much see this as the beginning of a journey where were trying to contribute, you know, incredibly affordable, high quality preventative diagnostics, and every year were going to be able to do more and more with less and less.The funding round, he said, will allow us to double down and really increase our investments in making the product better, which is ultimately about solving some of the core problems in health care.It will also give Neko a chance to put more space between itself and others looking at preventative healthcare opportunities, such as Zoi in France and Aware in Germany. The capital could also set it apart from efforts from public health services, such as the Health Check provided by the NHS in the U.K., which covers many of the same areas that Neko does.Some weeks ago, I heard from one of Nekos early backers that some of the most insistent waitlisters were investors who wanted to check out the company first-hand for the health of their bodies and of their funds.It seems that getting Lightspeed off the waitlist quickly yielded a strong result. As part of this funding round, Lightspeed partner Bejul Somaia will join Nekos board.

A software engineer has bought the website OGOpenAI.com and redirected it to DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab thats been making waves in the open source AI world lately.Software engineer Ananay Arora tells TechCrunch that he bought the domain name for less than a Chipotle meal, and that he plans to sell it for more. The move was an apparent nod to how DeepSeek releases cutting-edge open AI models, just as OpenAI did in its early years. DeepSeeks models can be used offline and for free by any developer with the necessary hardware, similar to older OpenAI models like Point-E and Jukebox.DeepSeek caught the attention of AI enthusiasts last week when it released an open version of its DeepSeek-R1 model, which the company claims performs better than OpenAIs o1 on certain benchmarks. Outside of models such as Whisper, OpenAI rarely releases its flagship AI in an open format these days, drawing criticism from some in the AI industry. In fact, OpenAIs reticence to release its most powerful models is cited in a lawsuit from Elon Musk, who claims that the startup isnt staying true to its original nonprofit mission.Arora says he was inspired by a now-deleted post on X from Perplexitys CEO, Aravind Srinivas, comparing DeepSeek to OpenAI in its more open days. I thought, hey, it would be cool to have [the] domain go to DeepSeek for fun, Arora told TechCrunch via DM.DeepSeek joins Alibabas Qwen in the list of Chinese AI labs releasing open alternatives to OpenAIs models. The American government has tried to curb Chinas AI labs for years with chip export restrictions, but it may need to do more if the latest AI models coming out of the country are any indication.
