Expo 2025 in Osaka Japan will have a lot of news.

That is neat and all, but it answers a question mostly no one is asking. How to replace a dirt bike with a horselike device. Bound to be expensive. For starters I just want a robot to grab my lawnmower and cut the grass. Clean the gutters, trim trees and such. Maybe wash the car since it is handy. As far as that goes, if it did a good job maybe everyone in my neighborhood would pitch in for one and it could do everyone's yard work.

I noticed that too, but it means someone is thinking this is a way to proceed. Or just throwing it out for a reaction before really trying to make it. Clearly years away. Where is the place you go get your hydrogen bottles replenished for the hydrogen power plant is says it uses?

Support for maintaining the CVE database of software vulnerabilities has ended. When a security bug is found by security researchers it is given a tracking CVE number. That is used by software developers and system administrators to coordinate a fix and install security updates to their systems. About 300-600 new vulnerabilities are logged each month.
