Syria is in a precarious place as it emerges from civil war and a long dictatorship. The recently announced removal of U.S. sanctions bring hopes that the economy might stabilize. Another challenge is Syria's population— it is one of the most diverse countries in the Middle East and with that comes competing demands and priorities from various groups. NPR's Jane Arraf takes us to southern Syria, near the border with Israel and introduces us to one of the biggest minority groups, the Druze.

• Communication devices have been found in Chinese made solar inverters
• These have the potential to destabilase the power grid
• It's unknown how many were found or the intent behind them

Rogue communication devices have been discovered in Chinese made solar inverters, devices which play a ‘critical role’ in renewable energy infrastructure, Reuters reports. This has prompted US energy officials to re-assess the risks of emerging technologies produced in China.

Power inverters are primarily produced in China, but used globally to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids, as well as being used in heat pumps, batteries, and electric vehicle chargers.

It’s reported that over the last nine months, some batteries bought from Chinese suppliers have been discovered with hidden communication devices like cellular radios - according to sources familiar with the matter.

Rogue components

Experts have warned that communication devices could evade firewalls and switch inverters off remotely, posing a huge risk to power grids, as they could change settings, damage energy infrastructure, destabilize the grid, and cause widespread blackouts.

It’s not yet clear how many of these communication devices were found, nor the nature of the devices themselves - and the intent behind the planting of these is unknown. That being said, the US Department of Energy has confirmed it continually assesses risks associated “with emerging technologies and that there were significant challenges with manufacturers disclosing and documenting functionalities.”

This isn't the first time solar grids have been targeted - and security flaws leaving them vulnerable to being hijacked and even disabled. 46 vulnerabilities discovered by Forescout were found to allow hackers to deploy remote code execution, denial of service, device takeover, and access cloud platforms or sensitive information.

It seems likely, given recent events and rising geopolitical tensions, that the US will look to move production to domestic manufacturing plants for a more secure supply chain, It’s worth noting though, that Huawei is currently the world’s largest supplier of inverters, accounting for 29% of shipments around the world in 2022.

Some of the best Max shows have been showcased at the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfronts 2025, alongside what’s to come from across the media giant’s studios and networks.

There’s been plenty of new info across the board, with news on both shows and WBD streaming and broadcast platforms as the company bigwigs take to the stage.

With announcements coming thick and fast, the big news can be easy to miss, but here we break down the five most intriguing pieces of news from the day, featuring Westeros returns, baffling rebrands, new streaming services and more.

1. Superman gets a brand new trailer

Top of the bill is the Man of Steel himself with a brand new trailer — which you can watch above — for James Gunn’s upcoming Superman.

Starring David Corenswet as Supes, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, the new movie is an entirely new take on the Big Blue Boy Scout, although with all the multiverse shenanigans happening across superhero cinema lately, we wouldn't rule out some connection to the supposedly dead DCEU.

The latest trailer showcases much of what we’ve seen before, including the Fortress of Solitude and the big screen debut of super-cainine Krypto and further showcases the themes Gunn seems to be playing with around Kal-El’s status as an immigrant and vigilante.

Gunn has absolutely nailed every superhero story he’s turned his hand to thus far, and I'll be there as a new dawn breaks on DC’s cinematic offerings on July 11.

2. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms pushed to 2026

(Image credit: HBO)

It's bad news for fans of the Song of Ice and Fire saga as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has its release window moved to 2026.

Based on George R. R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight novella, the new show follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and s squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) as they travel the fictional land in the time between Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

Widely expected to land this year, the third Westeros-set show will instead arrive in “winter” 2026, leaving us sweet summer children hoping that winter is coming sooner rather than later.

3. TNT's High Value Target leads network TV lineup

(Image credit: Apple TV Plus)

WBD also announced a whole host of shows due to land across their networks in the coming year, among which is High Value Target, formerly known as Debriefing the President.

The series, based on John Nixon’s book detailing the interrogation of Saddam Hussein, stars Joel Kinnaman as Nixon, a CIA analyst who became the first American to positively identify the dictator in the wake of his capture.

Other new shows teased during the Upfront included Guy’s Flavortown Games hosted by Guy Fieri, HGTV’s Renovating the Bachelor Mansion and Discovery’s ludicrously titled Shark Week special Dancing With Sharks. Murder doc They Know What They Did winks to narrator Jennifer Love Hewitt’s soon-to-be-returning slasher franchise, while TLC’s 90 Day franchise continues to expand with 90 Day: Hunt for Love.

Returning shows include Rick and Morty, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking and My Adventures with Superman, while Max hit The Pitt will receive a linear broadcast on TNT ahead of its second season.

4. Max rebrands back to HBO Max

(Image credit: HBO Max)

Perhaps the most surprising piece of news coming out of the upfronts was the announcement that WBD’s flagship streaming service would be adding the HBO moniker back into its name.

The streamer initially went by HBO Max when it was launched in 2020, trading on the reputation HBO had as the home of the best US TV had to offer. In 2023, WBD dropped the prefix, rebranding the streamer to simply, Max, moving away from the focus on prestige TV and introducing more varied programming, even going so far as to drop some of HBO’s biggest hits, such as Westworld, from its library.

But now those three letters are due a comeback, with the service once again set to be known as HBO Max after a relaunch this summer. Seemingly realising that a quality over quantity approach might be the way forward, WBD said: “No consumer today is saying they want more content, but most consumers are saying they want better content.” This seems to imply a shift for WBD, with the readdition of HBO to the name implying a refocus to the sort of prestige television that made the network be able to boldly state “It’s not TV. It’s HBO” in the first place.

5. CNN unveils new streaming service

(Image credit: CNN)

Following the ill fated CNN+, the news network are once again entering the streaming world with a brand new service set to arrive in the fall.

After an initial US launch, the platform will be available globally with CEO Mark Thompson call it “the first true new streaming service.” The streamer will also bundle CNN.com, which recently went behind a paywall, and will include live channels, news feeds and exclusive programming.

Current cable and satellite subscribers will be able to access the service at no extra cost, and CNN will, for now at least, continue to have a presence on Max after its rebrand.

If you've ever wondered why you'd want a bezel-less display, LG Display just provided a visual and eye-opening answer.

The display technology company, which supplies panels to, among others, LG Electronics, is busy showing off a raft of screen technologies at SID Display Week in San Jose, California. Among them are a 4,000-nit, next-gen OLED (it uses Tandem RGB elements to achieve this brightness), Blue Phosphorescent OLED, stretchable displays, and this new Micro LED architecture.

Using a pair of 22-inch Micro LED screens, LG Display showed how they could operate separately or be slid together to make one, visually seamless ultra-wide display.

In addition to a truly bezel-free design, Micro LED technology, according to LG Display, brings several other visual benefits. This non-organic, self-emissive technology offers pixel-level control and higher color accuracy and better ("perfect") blacks than other screen technologies.

Still, it's the "Zero Bezel" tech that opens up possibilities for modular displays that could be almost any shape or size. LG Display notes that these kinds of displays are especially useful in commercial scenarios, but could also be useful for making your own ultra-large desktop monitor.

Micro LED technology is also more attractive than OLED because of its lack of burn-in and longer lifespan. But, as we reported late last year, "production costs needed to be slashed by 90% to make Micro-LED competitive in today’s TV market."

We also noted, however, that LG looked like it might be "pulling back" on Micro LED investment. If these Zeo Bezel Micro LEDs are any indication, that couldn't be further from the truth.

• Oukitel WP300's battery can power other devices for days
• Not your average rugged phone - it's part powerbank, part fitness tracker, all survival tool
• This rugged phone has 108MP camera and 36GB of RAM for $399

The upcoming Oukitel WP300 takes an unconventional approach to rugged smartphone design - it's so over-the-top it’s already being called one of the most outrageous phones of 2025.

Built to endure harsh conditions while offering a feature set that rivals many flagship devices, the WP300 rugged smartphone comes equipped with a massive 16,000mAh battery, a capacity more commonly found in power banks.

The battery supports 45W fast charging and 18W reverse charging, meaning it can double as a battery pack for other gadgets like speakers, fans, or even rugged tablets.

Mobile phone and power bank for just $399

Even more surprising is the price. The WP300 will launch at just $399 - yes, $399 - when it debuts on Kickstarter at the end of May 2025. The original retail price is $599, but an early-bird offer includes a $200 discount.

Two key attachments transform this rugged business smartphone into a survival companion. One is a detachable LED camping light, perfect for nighttime use or emergencies. The other is a wireless earbud that docks into the phone and converts into a compact smartwatch.

This hybrid accessory features a display for alerts and an optical heart rate sensor, allowing it to function independently of the main device.

The WP300 is no fragile flagship. It meets IP69, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H standards, offering protection against dust, water, drops, and vibration.

The rugged chassis is reinforced, and the 6.78-inch display is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The screen delivers a resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 650 nits of brightness.

Under the hood, a 5G-capable MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor powers the device, supported by 12GB of RAM (expandable virtually to 36GB) and 512GB of internal storage.

Despite its rugged build, the WP300 doesn’t skimp on photography. It features a 108MP AI main camera and a 32MP front-facing selfie lens.

Harman has unveiled details of a new software solution that it hopes will offer “beyond sight” contextual alerts to drivers, without the need for expensive additional hardware or lengthy developmental schedules for manufacturers.

Initially revealed as part of a package of automotive innovations at this year’s Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, Harman went into further detail at its Harman Explore day in Munich last week, where it demonstrated a number of its vehicle-based solutions.

However, the Ready Aware Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) could well offer the most benefit to future drivers, as it leverages the power of modern vehicle sensor suites, 4G or 5G connectivity and next-generation infotainment systems to alert drivers about hazards they cannot yet see.

The company says that the digital approach ensures motorists receive “precise, relevant, and near real-time contextual insights for improved situational awareness”, drawing data from both connected infrastructure and connected cars from any brand.

According to the company, which is a a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, the cloud-based analytics engine uses digital twins and machine learning to create a detailed picture of surroundings based on real-time data received from a multitude of sources.

What can it do?

(Image credit: Harman)

For example, Harman says that it can detect circumstances of hard braking ahead, should the vehicle in question be sending standardized Vehicle Safety Messages to the cloud, and then warn the driver of impending congestion.

This also works for a vehicle reversing ahead, a fast-approaching vehicle from behind, or even a vehicle up ahead that is swerving or behaving erratically.

Similarly, standardized data from civil infrastructure, such as mobile roadworks or faulty traffic lights, can be logged by the system and distributed to any vehicle running Ready Aware in the vicinity.

Harman splits these events up into event-based and feed-based alerts, which include things like bad weather notifications, objects on the road and upcoming accidents.

An event-based alert could include a stranded or broken down vehicle, emergency electronic brake light activation ahead (traffic slowing quickly) or a sudden change in speed limit.

In order to reduce the number of false or incorrect messages, Harman says its Situational Awareness Engine (SAE) analyses the data it collects and assigns it a ‘confidence score’.

The more validating data it receives, the more confident it is that the event is worthy of a notification. All of this is done in near real-time, according to the company.

An attractive package

Google Maps and Waze users will be familiar with some of these warnings, but the majority of those rely on the human community to log and confirm hazards, which is not only less reliable but can also prove a distraction to those behind the wheel.

Harman says that the driver won’t have to do anything thanks to its software, and it’s just as easy for OEMs and vehicle makers to install the system – the main requirements being an existing sensor suite (cameras, sensors, LiDar etc), the required processing power and a 4G or 5G connection.

What’s more, the company says the software solution can run on both Android and Linux infotainment platforms, with a simple Over-the-Air (OTA) update enough to have most modern connected cars Ready Aware compatible.

We reported recently on how EuroNCAP, Europe’s leading car safety organization, has been incentivizing greater levels of active safety like this, which will make Harman’s solution even more attractive to those OEMs wanting a simple, affordable off-the-shelf solution.

Harman says there are already more than 50 million automobiles on the road today equipped with its connected tech, and millions more with the required hardware to run such a system.

There is currently no timeline on when we will see its technology made available in production vehicles, but Harman says it is ready roll it out now.

The company also announced this week that it is one of the first to open-source a full connected services platform, part of its Eclipse Connected Services Platform (ECSP) project.

It hopes it will encourage greater "interoperability" between different carmakers and help speed up the development and deployment of future connected cars.

• Square Handheld delivers full POS features in a pocket-sized form
• Built for mobility with barcode scanning and all-day battery life
• Seven software modes adapt to restaurants, retail and other business types

Financial technology company Square has introduced a new addition to its hardware lineup. Square Handheld is a compact, portable point-of-sale (POS) device built to serve the evolving needs of restaurants and retailers.

Weighing just 11 ounces and less than an inch thick, the device delivers full POS functionality in a form factor small enough to fit into an apron or pocket.

The new device includes a 6.2-inch Gorilla Glass touchscreen, an integrated barcode scanner, and a 16-megapixel camera.

Protected from dust and water splashes

Square Handheld supports tap and dip payments and runs on Square’s newly unified Point of Sale app.

The hardware is IP54-rated for protection against dust and water splashes, while the battery is built to last an entire business day.

This model is designed to help sellers take orders, manage inventory, and complete transactions from anywhere in their store or restaurant, without needing to return to a fixed checkout terminal.

The device builds on Square’s hardware design history, which began with its original card reader and now includes solutions like Square Stand, Square Terminal, and Square Register.

The software experience includes seven configurable modes tailored to specific industries, including food service, bars, and retail. Sellers can switch between modes as their operational needs change. Push notifications and device-specific controls help streamline workflows for on-the-go staff.

Square Handheld launches as part of Square Releases, a new biannual rollout that bundles together major hardware and software updates. It is available on Square Shop, priced from $399. A series of Belkin-designed protective cases will also be available in multiple colors, starting at $39.

• Big Tech profits from broadband, but pays nothing to support the networks they depend on
• This bill will make tech companies finally contribute to the networks they use to build billion-dollar empires
• Legislation shifts broadband cost burden from everyday users to enterprise giants

A new wave of broadband reform is gaining traction in the United States, and it’s poised to reshape how internet access is funded, particularly for underserved rural communities.

At the heart of this effort is the reintroduction of the Lowering Broadband Costs for Consumers Act of 2025 by the U.S. Congress. It’s a bipartisan proposal aimed at fixing a long-standing funding imbalance.

Currently, many tech giants that heavily rely on broadband infrastructure do not contribute to its funding. The Act would ensure that they do, helping to expand the Universal Service Fund (USF).

A bipartisan push to fix broadband funding

Originally designed to ensure universal access to telephone services, the USF has since evolved to support broadband in rural and tribal areas.

However, its funding still comes primarily from voice service subscribers, who now pay far more than they did two decades ago.

For example, a user might purchase a mobile router and pay for broadband access simply to use social media. The user may also pay these platforms directly through subscriptions or in-app purchases. Yet, despite relying entirely on broadband infrastructure, the platforms themselves contribute nothing to its cost.

This imbalance is at the center of a legal challenge currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The new proposal aims to shift the cost burden from everyday consumers to large tech firms, such as Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Meta, and TikTok, whose services drive most broadband traffic, including that through WiFi routers.

This isn’t an entirely new idea. It mirrors the model tech companies already use to sell cloud services: payment based on usage and features. Since contributions would come from enterprise services like cloud computing, digital advertising, and AI infrastructure, there would be no added cost to consumers.

If implemented, the policy would remove the USF fee from phone bills, offering direct relief to users. It could pave the way for the best broadband deal in years by lowering surcharges.

• Proton CEO confirmed the company will leave Switzerland if new controversial surveillance rules pass
• An amendment to the current surveillance law would require VPNs and messaging apps to identify and retain user data
• Another Swiss company, NymVPN, is also ready to leave the country instead of undermining its privacy and security infrastructure

Proton confirms the company will leave Switzerland if new controversial surveillance rules pass.

Switzerland is considering amending its surveillance law, with experts warning against the risk to secure encryption and online anonymity in the country. Specifically, the amendment could require all VPN services, messaging apps, and social networks to identify and retain user data – an obligation that is now limited to mobile networks and internet service providers.

The firm behind one of the best VPN and encrypted email services, Proton, is ready to fight back on behalf of the privacy of its over 100 million users. Other Swiss-based companies, like NymVPN, are also doing the same.

TechRadar needs you! We want to know what you think about the world of VPNs. Whether you're a novice or a VPN pro, we want to hear your thoughts. Don't worry, though, your responses are completely anonymous, and it takes less than five minutes to complete!

To take part, click the link below: https://futurenet.questionpro.eu/tr-vpn

No choice but to leave

In an interview with RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse) on May 13, 2025, Proton CEO Andy Yen slammed the proposed amendment as a "major violation of the right to privacy" that will also harm the country's reputation and its ability to compete on an international level.

"This revision attempts to implement something that has been deemed illegal in the EU and the United States. The only country in Europe with a roughly equivalent law is Russia," said Yen.

The amendment aims to expand the number of service providers targeted to include so-called "derived service providers". Crucially, the new provisions will introduce three new types of information and two types of monitoring.

If the changes pass, Proton will be forced to modify how Proton Mail and Proton VPN handle encryption, alongside its strict no-log policies – something the company isn't willing to do.

"I think we would have no choice but to leave Switzerland," said Yen. "The law would become almost identical to the one in force today in Russia. It's an untenable situation. We would be less confidential as a company in Switzerland than Google, based in the United States. So it's impossible for our business model."

In Switzerland, the new version of the surveillance law aims to make it impossible for Proton, Threema and@nymproject to operate from Switzerland. We are in the consultation phase. We will fight. https://t.co/BcMBxzIPFCMarch 25, 2025

Proton is not alone in feeling this way, though.

A new player in the VPN world, NymVPN has also been publicly fighting Swiss government plans since the beginning.

Talking to TechRadar, Nym's co-founder and COO, Alexis Roussel, confirmed that Nym will do the same and leave Switzerland if the new surveillance rules are enforced.

What's next?

As public consultations ended on May 6, 2025, we will now have to wait and see what the Swiss government decides.

Nonetheless, Roussel confirmed to TechRadar that there has been significant push-back from political parties and Swiss companies.

Some Cantons, including Geneva, have even called on the right to digital integrity as an argument against these rules. Roussel was the main originator of the initiative that introduced this new right to protect citizens' online privacy and data – in Geneva in 2023 and Neuchâtel in 2024 – with over 90% consensus.

Yen also told RTS to be more optimistic, despite pointing out how this matter shows the need for a more balanced approach when it comes to crafting new laws.

"If we can get Bern to adopt common-sense rules that allow companies like Proton to be competitive in Switzerland and around the world, I will stay, take my passport, and continue to invest in Switzerland," he added.

• There is no evidence of abuse in the wild

Ivanti has patched a critical-severity vulnerability in its Neurons for ITSM IT service management solution, and is urging users to apply the fix and mitigate the risk as soon as possible.

Neurons for ITSM is an AI-powered IT Service Management platform used by IT departments in mid-to-large enterprises to automate, streamline, and manage IT support services, incidents, and assets across their organizations.

An exact number of users is unknown, but Ivanti claims to be servicing tens of thousands of organizations with its portfolio, so it’s safe to assume the attack surface is relatively large.

Low complexity attacks

The vulnerability in question is tracked as CVE-2025-22462. NVD describes it as an authentication bypass in Neurons for ITSM in versions before 2023.4, 2024.2 and 2024.3 with the May 2025 Security Patch. It affects on-prem instances only, and allows a remote unauthenticated threat actor to gain admin rights on the target system.

The company says that depending on the system configuration, the vulnerability can be exploited in low-complexity attacks. That, however, doesn’t seem to have happened yet, since Ivanti claims there is no evidence of abuse in the wild so far.

Ivanti also suggested that organizations should follow its guidance, since then they will be less exposed to potential attacks.

"Customers who have followed Ivanti's guidance on securing the IIS website and restricted access to a limited number of IP addresses and domain names have a reduced risk to their environment," the company said in an advisory. "Customers who have users log into the solution from outside their company network also have a reduced risk to their environment if they ensure that the solution is configured with a DMZ."

This is the second major vulnerability Ivanti patched this week, after addressing a critical-severity bug in its Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) software.

I’ve been flying and shooting with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro for a few weeks, and it's one of the best drones I've ever piloted with stand out camera features: the ability of the camera to be tilted up to 70 degrees, so it’s almost looking straight up, and for the entire camera housing to be rotated 90 degrees to capture photos and videos in vertical format.

Furthermore, the camera can be rotated through -40 to 400 degrees on the roll axis, which means you can continuously rotate the camera during video capture. Think dynamic Inception-style twists that add a dynamic and creative look to videos.

These movements are absolutely incredible because the camera unit on the Mavic 4 Pro isn’t small – it’s the largest seen on any Mavic drone, housing a superb 28mm Four Thirds Hasselblad camera with an adjustable aperture, a 70mm camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor and a 168mm camera with a 1/1.5in sensor.

(Image credit: James Abbott)

Being armed with three versatile camera movements naturally opens up many creative possibilities for photo and video capture. After all, many pilots use drones to mimic traditional crane-mounted and dolly-style camera movements, to capture smooth and fluid video without the need to own, hire or set up such large and heavy equipment.

True vertical photo capture with a high-quality Four Thirds camera or one of the telephoto cameras, on the other hand, speeds up photography at both the capture and editing stages. Say goodbye to the hassle of shooting and editing vertical panoramas for portrait shots or cropping landscape format photos to portrait, where you ultimately lose pixels and image quality.

The camera's hugely versatile range of movement on the roll axis is thanks to what DJI calls an 'Infinity Gimbal' with 360-degree rotation. The effect is achieved by pressing button C1 and turning the right shoulder dial on the controller, and has never been seen before on a drone.

A whopping 160 degrees of camera tilt

This video shows the full 160 degrees of tilt, and the degree of movement is super impressive. Other DJI drones can have their cameras tilted upwards, but it’s only the DJI Air 3S that comes close to this with 60 degrees of upwards tilt.

The Mavic 4 Pro gimbal is understandably robust since the camera unit is quite large, but it has a controllable tilt range of -90 to 70 degrees, which allows it to be pointed straight down at the ground as well as almost straight up.

When capturing video and tilting the camera up or down throughout its full tilt range, it takes 15 seconds to travel 160 degrees at the default gimbal speed. 160 degrees of camera movement doesn’t sound like much on paper, but when you see it, you can fully appreciate it.

Vertical capture with 90 degrees rotation

With the Mavic 4 Pro, you can capture cropped vertical video with the camera kept in landscape format in the same way that the DJI Air 3 models capture vertical video. This works perfectly well, however the Mavic 4 Pro goes one step better: you can also rotate the camera 90 degrees for vertical video, without sacrificing pixels.

During my testing, I found that the drone sometimes flew much slower than normal when capturing vertical video with the cameras rotated, but not always. This may have been because I was unaware of shooting settings that might have changed this, or it could have been a quirk of the pre-release firmware.

The main camera can capture cropped vertical video in 4K up to 60fps, while the two telephotos can capture cropped vertical video in 2.7K up to 60fps. With the gimbal rotated, the full resolution possible with the main camera is 6K up to 60fps video, while the 70mm can capture up to 4K at 120fps and the 168mm up to 4K at 100fps.

Never before seen 'Infinity Gimbal'

The Infinity Gimbal with -40 to 400 degree continuous rotation on the roll axis is another string to the Mavic 4 Pro's versatile camera bow.

The 90 degree rotation for vertical video and photos is handy for social cuts, the versatile 160 degree range of tilt motion gets you looking-up perspectives previously not possible, but it's the Infinity Gimbal that provides dynamic camera movements, especially if you love the Inception effect – you can see a short example I shot, below.

The Mavic 3 Pro was already my favorite prosumer camera drone, but the DJI Mavic 4 Pro is an even more versatile offering, with longer flight times. Those three handy camera movements complement the triple cameras for an unparalleled degree of creative camera work, and should cement the Mavic 4 Pro's place in best drone buying guides for some time to come.
