Politics TechnologyPolish intelligence is investigating a cyber attack on Poland’s railway system.
The BBC reports that hackers interfered with the system, disrupting the operation of trains in the northwest of the country.
The hacker attack was also mixed with Russia’s national anthem and a speech by Russian President Putin.The cyber attack immediately stopped 20 trains, but the service was restored within a few hours.
Russian authorities suspect that the cyber attack was carried out by Russia. Security experts have also said that Russia is conducting cyber attacks in Ukraine to test its hacking tools.
For this reason, many Western countries have called earlier for states to further strengthen cyber security measures.

TechnologyApple and its customers are getting ready for the launch of the new generation of iPhones. According to rumors, the iPhone 15 may be introduced by Apple on September 12.
With the date approaching, experts are advising anyone who is going to sell their phone to buy a new one later, to act now, as the value of all models is expected to drop.
Cellphone trade-in company Sellcell predicts that trade-in prices will drop by 16% after the new models hit the market. And according to Envirofone, the sale or trade-in value for the iPhone 14 Pro will drop by 16 percent as the launch date of the new products approaches.
The iPhone 14 Pro retails for around $820 on average at the moment, but after launch, the price could drop by $130.
In the past, older iPhones have lost between 60 percent and 65 percent of their original recommended retail price (RRP) 28 days before the launch of a new model.This means that the ideal time to sell your old mobile would be before August 26.

SportsOleksandr Usyk has defended the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles, knocking out Daniel Dubois in the ninth round.
The Ukrainian and the Briton started the match as a heavyweight duel should, showing composure and composure in the first round.
In the second round, the two boxers each had a shot, while Dubois looked more unsure in the ring.
The third round was dominated by Usyk, who landed direct jabs while the Brit aimed for uppercuts.
In the fourth round, there was an initiative from the 25-year-old, who launched several precise shots against the Ukrainian, but not to cause him problems.
The fifth round was more devastating for Usyk, as he took a kick below the belt from Dubois, which of course was unintentional, while the Ukrainian lay in the ring and the referee gave him time to recover.
Despite conceding the blow below the belt, Usyk landed several straight punches at the Briton, giving signals that he had taken over and was aiming to secure the victory as soon as possible.
The sixth round brought more movement from the two boxers, who landed blows in succession, but neither of them rocked one or the other.
The following round started frantically by Dubois, who delivered powerful blows to Usyk, but the latter managed to come back at the end and show his toughness.
The ninth round was the deciding point for Usyk, as in the remaining seconds he managed to drop the 25-year-old Briton to his knees, with the referee counting to nine. Usyk managed to defend his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles in this round, with Dubois unable to continue the fight.

SportsThere is a surprise in the first game of the season in the Superior Category. Skanderbeg beat Egnatia 1-0 in Rrogozhin causing a strong shake to the team built to win the championship title.
A very hard-fought match at “Egnatia Arena” where the only goal of the challenge came from the bench. Newcomer to the game, Juri gave the right to coach Ivan Gvozdenovic, who can celebrate this success with the Korça team almost 12 months after returning to the Super League.
On the other side, Egnatia has a negative start but this is only the beginning of the season and Edlir Tetova and his team still have a long way to go.

LifeStyle TechnologyFeature phones are making an unusual comeback in the United States.
Not at all sophisticated and mainly only for making calls or sending SMS, these mobile phones left the market with the advent of smartphones, but apparently this will be their “revenge”.
As analysts discover, the US market is being kept alive by those who are called millennials (born between 1981-1996) and Generation Z (1990-2010) to be “detoxified” by applications and social networks.
This trend is also evident on TikTok, where hashtags like #bringbackfliphones gather millions of views.
In the United States, according to Counterpoint Research, sales of these phones will reach 2.8 million this year. They currently account for around 2% of overall mobile phone sales in the domestic market.
Reason:
In addition to the desire for a digital detox among young people, the demand for cheap disposable phones from certain categories of consumers is the main factor, such as tourists who buy a second phone for short periods or companies that want to reduce costs.
The price of these devices ranges from $20 to $100. Let’s not forget the developing countries, where the internet connection is slow.

TechnologyGamescom, the world’s largest video game trade fair, opened its doors in Cologne, Germany with over 1,220 exhibitors from 63 countries showcasing their long-running products over five days.
Hundreds of thousands of players will be waiting patiently in long lines to spend 15 minutes trying out the games scheduled to be introduced in the coming months.
“This year more than ever, Gamescom is a reflection of the global gaming culture: dynamic, international, creative, diverse and large,” said Felix Falk, managing director of the German Games Industry Association, co-organizer of the event.
Big questions had surrounded the holding of Gamescom would take place this year. E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in Los Angeles, for decades the most important trade fair for video games, did not return after cancellations forced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the pandemic, many game companies chose to experiment with presenting their new creations through live streams. By partnering with broadcasters, they can reach their target audience directly.
This is believed to be one of the reasons why big names like Sony Interactive Entertainment (makers of Playstation), Electronic Arts (“EA Sports FC 24”), Epic Games (“Fortnite”), Take Two (“Grand Theft Auto”) or Activision Blizzard (“Call of Duty”) have chosen to skip this year’s Gamescom.
For the first time ever, a South American country is Gamescom’s official partner country. It is Brazil, where the gaming industry has grown significantly in recent years and is mainly focused on the computer and mobile gaming market.

Breaking News Technology UncategorizedThe EU’s landmark rules on illegal digital content came into force today with internet giants such as Google, Amazon and social network X, formerly known as Twitter, risking hefty fines worth up to 6% of annual turnover in worldwide for infringement.
The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) applies to 19 very large search engines and platforms with more than 45 million active users.
Companies will have to remove child pornography and terrorist propaganda more quickly and also make it easier for users to report such content.
Online marketplaces like Amazon are now required to remove counterfeit products or dangerous toys to the best of their ability and inform consumers if an illegal product has been purchased.
In addition, companies must regularly report to the European Commission on the extent to which their platforms endanger mental health or freedom of expression.
Welcoming the new rules, EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said in a video on X that his team would be very rigorous in checking that systemic platforms are compliant.
Elon Musk, the owner of X, and the recipient of numerous public warnings from the EU about regulatory obligations, told Breton that his company was “working hard on this”.
The nineteen platforms and search engines initially included are Zalando, Wikipedia, Booking.com, Tik Tok, X, Facebook, Amazon Marketplace and Apple’s App Store, as well as Alibaba AliExpress, Google Play, Google Maps, Google Shopping, Instagram, LinkedIn , Pinterest, Snapchat, YouTube and the Google and Bing search engines.

Business LifeStyle TechnologyYes, cuddlier. Mercedes has been talking to its customers and found that what they crave most of all from the new AMG GT Coupe is something less… harsh. Easier to use every day; comfier to drive around in. While still being an utter powerhouse, naturally.
Merc has obliged, starting over and using not one piece of the old chassis. This new car is 180mm longer and 40mm wider than before, meaning enough space inside for 2+2 seating and a 250-litre boot that’ll swallow a bicycle, apparently. A 70mm longer wheelbase means the interior shouldn’t be quite as restrictive either. Well, less so than lycra.
At launch we get two versions as before, each harnessing the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo assembled by hand at AMG HQ in Affalterbach and twinned with a nine-speed auto ‘box. The numbers are familiar: the GT 63 draws an unchanged 577bhp, with 590lb ft arriving between 2,500-4,500rpm for 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 196mph.
Not that the engine’s been ignored, Merc hastens to add. It gets a new oil pan, repositioned intercooler and active crankcase ventilation, while the inlet and outlet ports have been honed for more efficient gas exchange. Meanwhile a wet starting clutch replaces the old torque converter, reducing weight and improving responsiveness, it claims.

The GT 55 generates 469bhp (also unchanged), enough for 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and a vee-max of 183mph. Both versions achieve 20mpg, should the cost of living crisis be making any GT buyers out there more fuel aware. Merc wouldn’t rule out a plug-in hybrid, when we asked about it…

SportsRed Bull’s Max Verstappen set the pace in first practice at his home Dutch Grand Prix, ahead of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
The two-time world champion was 0.278 seconds ahead of Alonso, whose Aston Martin has an upgrade.

Hamilton’s Mercedes was third quickest, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez fourth.
Verstappen is bidding for a record-equalling ninth consecutive win this weekend, which would match former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel’s 2013 record.

LifeStyle SportsIt has become ‘synonymous’ with Messi’s life, get to know the former American marine who has taken over the security of the Argentine star at Inter Miami.Yassine Chueko is a name that is quickly becoming synonymous with Lionel Messi’s new life at Inter Miami. A former special forces soldier, who served for the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been personally selected by David Beckham to serve as Messi’s ever-present personal bodyguard.
According to “Daily Mail”, Chueko is not just an ordinary physical defender. His background as an MMA fighter and expert in martial arts such as taekwondo and boxing makes him an ideal choice. The Argentine superstar requires an extraordinary level of security, so Chueko has been seen “marking” him as a shadow both during celebrations on the field and during the game, from the sideline of the field.
One such occasion was when Chueko was seen running on the touchline as Lionel Messi celebrated the equalizer with his teammates in the last game against Cincinnati.
Chueko has impressive credentials as a former US Marine and his dueling experience coupled with vast expertise in various martial arts disciplines. According to the report, the rise of pitch invaders in recent years and the hysteria surrounding Messi’s incredible start in the US led to the decision to hire him.
The relationship between Chueko and Messi is not limited to the field. He escorts Messi from the team bus, to the dressing room to the entrance to the stadium and the pitch to ensure a safe passage. So Chueko’s presence is constant.
A particular moment that caught the public’s attention was during the preparation for Inter Miami’s League Cup semi-final triumph against Philadelphia. Chueko waited in front of the Inter Miami bus, before entering the action, as Messi appeared, or running along the sideline of the field when Messi moved with the ball on his feet, in an action.
