Anker’s new window-mounted camera monitors the outside of your home from within it

The Anker Eufy Window Camera E10 stuck to the inside of a home’s window.

Anker announced a new indoor security camera that's designed to watch your yard, driveway, or front porch through a window, instead of monitoring what's inside your home. The new Anker Eufy Window Camera E10 takes a similar approach to the Wyze Window Cam that launched nearly a year ago. It installs right against a window using an including mounting sticker to reduce glare and reflections, but the camera doesn't require any weatherproofing since it's not enduring the elements outdoors.

The Eufy Window Camera E10 is available now for $79.99 through Anker's online store and Amazon, making it more than twice expensive as the $34.98 Wyze Window …

Rian Johnson is an analog photography devotee. The director of Knives Out and The Last Jedi can often be spotted on set with a Leica M6 at his side, documenting production on film. But sometimes, it's still easier to reach for a phone. So Johnson started wondering if the photos from his iPhone could be made to look more like the grade he applies to his movies.

The result is Chromagraph Camera, a $13 iOS app that bypasses elements of Apple's image processing pipeline and applies the same look used on Johnson's movies. The app, made by Johnson and his longtime cinematographer, Steve Yedlin, is shockingly simple, with just a few primary settin …

Binance says hackers who stole billions in crypto spent months planning heist

4 November 2026 at 16:06

The hackers who stole billions of dollars in cryptocurrency from the Binance exchange spent months working on the theft and used both social engineering and novel malware in the process, the company said Tuesday.

The heist, which both the FBI and the TRM Security firm attributed to North Korean actors, initially targeted $6.34 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance wallets. The exchange has since frozen or intercepted $2.85 billion of that sum. Binance said it has set aside funds required to cover the loss and provided this link to a Proof of Reserves page. The $6.34 billion represents the biggest sum ever targeted in a cryptocurrency theft.

Advanced persistent threat

Binance said the people behind the heist began no later than June and continued until last Thursday, when they successfully compromised an engineer's laptop and withdrew assets from several wallets. Like just about every organization that suffers a public, high-consequence hack, Binance said the threat actor was sophisticated and resourceful.

Data center developers are poised to face a more restrictive building environment after voters across the country voted in candidates who favor moratoriums and ballot measures that put more obstacles on their expansion, delivering a stinging blow to a central pillar of the AI industry.

Of voters polled by NBC News on Election Day, 76 percent said they opposed data centers in their communities. Dozens of local communities voted directly to restrict development through ballot measures. And upset winners like Texas Democratic Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa and Michigan's Democratic Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed support moratoriums on development.

AI agents won't be stealing Uber's lunch any time soon.

Only four rides were arranged by third-party AI agents during the third quarter of 2026, Uber executives disclosed during an earnings call this morning. The volume of Uber Eats orders fulfilled by AI agents was a little higher, with the company recording "around 500" during the week of Halloween, out of a total 320 million Uber rides and Uber Eats deliveries.

This is the first time that Uber has disclosed the number of third-party AI agents that have arranged deliveries or rides on its platform. With the rise of AI agents like Meta's Muse or OpenAI's Dots, some experts are predictin …
