The New England Patriots informed Stefon Diggs that they will release him when new league year begins on March 11, reports CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones. New England’s decision to part with Diggs was at least partly a financial one as Diggs was set to make an additional $6 million next Friday.

The move saves more than $16 million in cap space, Jones reports.Diggs, 32, was just one year into a three-year, $63.5 million contract that he signed last offseason. During…

When cooking pizza with the high heat of an outdoor oven, you have to rotate your pies to ensure even cooking. That’s usually done by hand, but Ooni’s latest accessory automates the process. The company announced the Rotating Stone for its Koda 2 lineup, which helps distribute heat evenly across the surface of a pizza so that it’s consistently cooked all the way around.Ooni says its Rotating Stone has a mechanism around its perimeter rather than a central pivot.

Where last season Jenny Packham looked to the scorched sensuality of Georgia O’Keeffe’s work, home, and personal style, this time the British designer turned her gaze to the starry sky.

Computers leak secrets. Not just through invasive ad tracking, data-stealing malware, and your ill-advised oversharing on social media, but through physics. The movements of a hard drive’s components, keystrokes on a keyboard, even the electric charge in a semiconductor’s wires produce radio waves, sound, and vibrations that transmit in all directions and can—when picked up by someone with sufficiently sensitive equipment and enough spycraft to decipher those signals—reveal your private data and activities.This category of spying techniques, originally codenamed TEMPEST by the National Security Agency but now encompassed in the more general term “side-channel attacks,” has been a known problem…
