☆ Putin's big military mobilization moves won't have any effect on his fight in Ukraine for months, war experts say

Partial military mobilization won't have any effect on the war for months, a think tank said. Putin's order to call up to 300,000 reservist troops to wage war in Ukraine "will not generate significant usable Russian combat power for months," the think tank said. Putin's mobilization order, ISW said, "may suffice to sustain the current levels of Russian military manpower in 2023 by offsetting Russian casualties, although even that is not yet clear." Additionally, Hardie explained, Putin's call for a mobilization of troops "carries serious political risks and was not made lightly." In the wake of Putin's mobilization announcement, many Russians attempted to flee the country while others took to the streets in cities across the country to protest the war.
☆ Is Twitter ready for the midterms?

The disclosure alleges that Twitter is rife with security and privacy vulnerabilities that put users, investors and even US national security at risk, and that Twitter executives have misled its board and regulators about its shortcomings. Members of the US House Committee on Homeland Security on Thursday sent Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal a letter demanding that he address Zatko’s allegations and explain Twitter’s readiness for the 2022 midterms. In 2020, hackers tricked Twitter employees into handing over internal access that allowed them to take over the accounts of prominent figures such as former President Barack Obama and then-Presidential candidate Joe Biden. “Twitter employees were repeatedly found to be intentionally installing spyware on their work computers at the request of external organizations,” the disclosure states. Twitter’s employees use devices overseen by other IT and security teams with the power to prevent a device from connecting to sensitive internal systems if it is running outdated software, Twitter added.
☆ Recycled bulletproof vests may boost the range of electric cars 5-fold, and extend battery life to 10 years

Research into lithium-sulfur batteries promises to improve the useful life of current batteries. The new technology allows a 5-fold increase in energy density over lithium-ion batteries. But due to the scarcity of materials and technological limitations, it doesn't look like these figures will increase much with lithium-ion batteries. Our integrated system approach enabled us to address the overarching challenges of lithium-sulfur batteries," he continued. Through recycling bulletproof vests, it's possible to obtain the aramid fibers needed for the membrane, and it's easier to obtain sulfur than the more scarce cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries.
