📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

🩻From Diamond Mines to Saving Lives!
South African company Lodox Systems has developed a unique full-body X-ray scanner — the Lodox Statscan. It can capture a full-body image in just 13 seconds, while delivering 10 times less radiation than a standard X-ray.
📜 The technology dates back to the 1990s, when engineers at De Beers, a diamond mining company, designed the scanner to detect diamonds being smuggled out of mines. Later, this same technology was adapted for medical use — allowing for rapid and low-dose full-body imaging in emergency situations.
📍 The first Statscan installation outside South Africa was in 2003. Today, Lodox systems are used in hospitals and trauma centers around the world.
