A new Bluetooth scanner, dubbed Bluehood, has been developed to reveal the information that users inadvertently leak through their devices, according to Hacker News. Simultaneously, the U.S. government is urging people to avoid "highly processed" foods, as reported by NPR News, while the longevity economy is projected to reach $27 trillion by 2030, according to Time.
The Bluehood project, created by an individual concerned about privacy, tracks nearby Bluetooth devices and analyzes their presence patterns. The developer was motivated by a desire to understand what data is exposed simply by having Bluetooth enabled. This comes at a time when researchers at KU Leuven disclosed WhisperPair (CVE-2025-36911), a critical vulnerability.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government's recommendation to avoid highly processed foods stems from concerns about diet-related diseases. NPR News reported that many Americans struggle to identify which foods fall into this category, despite a desire to reduce their consumption. "I think..." the article stated, though the quote was cut off.
In other news, the intersection of technology and science continues to evolve. Fortune reported that AI is extending the reach of cutting-edge science and helping scientists globally tackle some of the greatest challenges. The article highlighted the potential of AI to accelerate scientific discovery, referencing Google DeepMind's work.
Looking to the future, the longevity economy is booming. Time reported that Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and world leaders are investing heavily in anti-aging research and biotechnology. A hot mic captured a conversation between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping discussing the potential for extending human lifespans through biotechnology, with predictions of people living to 150 years old within this century.
The historical context of these developments can be seen in the story of Paul Revere's ride, as detailed by Time. Revere's ride, which took place on the night of April 18, 1775, served as a warning to the countryside that Royal soldiers were marching toward Lexington and Concord, marking the beginning of the American Revolution.
