CIA Makes New Push To Recruit Chinese Military Officers as Informants - Slashdot. Scott Adams, Creator of the 'Dilbert' Comic Strip, Dies at 68 China Halts Rare Earth Exports Globally 'America's Elite Universities Have Lost Their Way'

An anonymous reader shares a report: Just weeks after a dramatic purge of China's top general, the CIA is moving to capitalize on any resulting discord with a new public video targeting potential informants in the Chinese military. The U.S. spy agency on Thursday rolled out the video depicting a disillusioned mid-level Chinese military officer, in the latest U.S. step in a campaign to ramp up human intelligence gathering on Washington's strategic rival. It follows a similar effort last May that focused on fictional figures within China's ruling Communist Party that provided detailed Chinese-language instructions on how to securely contact U.S. intelligence. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said in a statement that the agency's videos had reached many Chinese citizens and that it would continue offering Chinese government officials an "opportunity to work toward a brighter future together."

Third Optis jury trial results in a victory for Apple in the US. Patent troll Optis has been told by a US jury that Apple has not infringed on any of its LTE patents. The case was sent to a trial by jury where the jury members would be asked a single question about the five patents.

Optis hoped to collect money for every iPhone sold

The latest jury trial occurred after the US Court of Appeals threw out a verdict that would have had Apple paying Optis $300 million in damages. The case was then sent to a trial by jury where the jury members would be asked a single question about the five patents.

According to a report from Reuters, the jury voted unanimously. The question was: "Did Optis prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Apple infringed at least one claim from each of the following patents?"

Aqara U400 review: UWB home key will be hard to beat on other smart locks

The Aqara U400 is the first smart lock with Ultra Wideband Home Key support. It auto-locks and unlocks at the right time, giving you the security, peace of mind, and convenience that you need. The design doesn't look bad, but it's also not a striking lock either.

The newly launched Aqara U400 is the first — and so far only — smart lock with Ultra Wideband Home Key support, and after using it for the past month, I don't think I can go back.
