Microsoft Project Silica is an archival storage technology that encodes data permanently inside quartz and borosilicate glass using femtosecond laser pulses, achieving a density of 4.84 terabytes per palm-sized glass square equivalent to roughly 2 million books stored in an object you can hold in one hand, with accelerated aging tests confirming data stability beyond […]
The Social Security data breach situation of 2026 stems from a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee allegedly walking out of SSA headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland with two restricted databases containing records on more than 500 million Americans copied onto a thumb drive, while earlier incidents already exposed SSA data to unauthorized servers and outside
