Hey everyone, let’s dive into what’s been happening in tech today. First up, Positive Technologies in Moscow just earned FSTEC certification for its XSpider PRO scanner – a big win for Russian cyber standards. Oracle over in Austin rolled out a patch that fixes more than eight hundred vulnerabilities across seventeen product families, including over a hundred critical ones. Meanwhile, a security firm in Thailand found exposed folders on a Bangmod server that were used to target the 3BB broadband network. Switching gears, MediaTek in Taiwan launched its Dimensity 9600 Pro processor for Android phones, while Nvidia in Santa Clara refused a warranty repair for a GeForce RTX 5090 because the serial number was worn. In San Francisco, Diogo Almeida introduced Jev, an AI model that can answer in a hundred milliseconds and costs just 0.042 dollars per million tokens, with free output. SAP invested a billion euros in Freiburg’s Prior Labs, a startup building tabular foundation models for data analysis. On the space front, SpaceX’s Starship finally reached orbit from Starbase, marking its first successful flight. In Russia, officials revealed that the 5G rollout is still just a pilot in a few zones, not a nationwide launch. And in Copenhagen, the BioInnovation Institute announced it will fund and support seventeen European startups, backed by a 736 million euro commitment from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. That’s the tech scene in a nutshell for this week. Thanks for watching.
Security and Certification
Positive Technologies in Moscow earned FSTEC certification for its XSpider PRO vulnerability scanner, meeting Russian cyber standards.
Oracle in Austin released a patch that fixes over eight hundred vulnerabilities across seventeen product families, with more than one hundred critical flaws addressed.
Threat intelligence firm Hunt.io found exposed folders on a Bangmod server in Thailand, containing attack scripts, privilege‑elevation tools and lists of compromised devices used to target the 3BB broadband network.
AI and Chip Developments
MediaTek in Hsinchu unveiled its Dimensity 9600 Pro, a flagship processor aimed at Android smartphones, while Nvidia in Santa Clara denied a warranty repair for a GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition because the serial number on the metal bracket was worn off.
In San Francisco, Diogo Almeida launched Jev, an AI model that can respond in one hundred milliseconds and costs 0.042 dollars per million tokens, offering free output. Meanwhile, SAP invested one billion euros in Freiburg’s Prior Labs, a startup building tabular foundation models for data analysis.
Space and Global Rollouts
SpaceX’s Starship reached orbit from Starbase, marking the vehicle’s first successful orbital flight.
In Moscow, officials revealed that Russia’s long‑anticipated 5G rollout was actually limited to a few pilot zones rather than a national launch.
The BioInnovation Institute in Copenhagen announced that it will fund and support seventeen European startups, backed by a new 736 million euro commitment from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
Questions people ask
What is FSTEC certification?
FSTEC stands for the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control in Russia. It certifies that a product meets Russian security and technical standards for government use.
Why did Nvidia deny the warranty repair?
Nvidia said the serial number on the metal bracket of the RTX 5090 Founders Edition was worn off, so it could not confirm the unit’s authenticity and therefore refused the warranty claim.
What does the Jev AI model price mean?
The price of 0.042 dollars per million tokens covers the compute cost for running the model. Consumers pay for the number of tokens processed, and output is free.
