China Debuts Mini Nuclear Battery with 50-Year Lifespan (Pictures)

A groundbreaking leap in energy technology has emerged from Beijing, where Betavolt, a leading innovation company, has introduced a nuclear battery capable of powering devices for half a century without a recharge.

This compact marvel, smaller than a standard coin, harnesses the power of Nickel-63 isotopes to produce a steady electricity supply. Unlike conventional batteries, Betavolt’s design prioritizes safety and sustainability. The isotopes gradually decay into non-radioactive copper, ensuring no hazardous waste or risk of explosions.

Designed with versatility in mind, the battery is set to revolutionize fields such as artificial intelligence, medical devices, microprocessors, and drones. Betavolt is targeting a late 2025 release for a 1-watt version, which could transform industries reliant on long-term, low-energy power solutions.

Betavolt's innovation places China at the forefront of the nuclear battery race, challenging the dominance of U.S.-based City Labs and their NanoTritium batteries, which similarly offer multi-decade power solutions for specialized applications.

This cutting-edge development underscores the global push toward sustainable, long-lasting energy alternatives, promising a cleaner and more efficient future for technology.

TUTORIAL Boost Your WordPress Speed: A Guide to Offloading Media Files

A fast website is a must-have in today's digital world. One effective way to improve your WordPress site’s performance is by offloading your media files. But what does this mean, and how can you do it? Let’s break it down.


What Is Media Offloading?

Media offloading is the process of moving your website’s media files—like images, videos, and PDFs—to an external storage service. Instead of relying solely on your web host’s server, these files are stored and served from specialized cloud platforms. The result? A leaner, faster site.


Why Offload Media Files?

Here are some compelling reasons to consider offloading:

  1. Enhanced Speed
    External servers are optimized to handle large files, reducing the strain on your website’s hosting server. This means faster load times for your visitors.
  2. Scalability
    Cloud storage grows with your website. Whether you’re uploading hundreds or thousands of files, these platforms can handle the load without compromising speed.
  3. Cost Savings
    Reducing server load can let you opt for a cheaper hosting plan while storing your files securely in the cloud.
  4. Backup and Reliability
    Most storage platforms provide robust backup solutions, adding an extra layer of security for your data.

How to Offload Media Files in WordPress

Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started:

1. Pick a Cloud Storage Service

Popular options include Amazon S3, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean Spaces. Choose one that fits your budget and technical requirements.

2. Install a Media Offloading Plugin

Plugins like WP Offload Media make the process seamless. These tools integrate WordPress with your chosen cloud storage and automate file transfers.

3. Configure the Plugin

Once installed, connect the plugin to your cloud storage account. You’ll typically need API credentials to link the two systems securely.

4. Migrate Existing Media

The plugin will allow you to move your current media library to the cloud. This step might take some time, depending on your library’s size.

5. Test Your Setup

Double-check that your files load correctly. Visit a few pages and confirm that images and videos appear without errors.


Pro Tips for a Smooth Transition

  • Backup First: Before making changes, ensure your site is backed up to avoid any mishaps.
  • Monitor Performance: Regularly check page load speeds to confirm the offloading is working as expected.
  • Update Plugins: Keep your offloading plugin and cloud credentials up to date for maximum security and compatibility.

Ready to Supercharge Your Website?

Offloading media files is a simple yet effective way to make your WordPress site faster and more efficient. With cloud storage handling your large files, you can focus on delivering an exceptional experience for your visitors.

Start exploring plugins and cloud services today, and take the first step toward a faster, more scalable website.

TUTORIAL Severe Vulnerability Discovered In Popular WordPress Plugin UpdraftPlus

The WordPress community is once again reminded of the importance of maintaining updated plugins as a severe vulnerability has been discovered in the popular UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin. This flaw, identified as a PHP Object Injection vulnerability, has been patched in the latest release (v1.24.12). Users are strongly urged to update immediately to safeguard their websites.

The Vulnerability: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Researchers at Webbernaut uncovered a critical issue in versions of UpdraftPlus up to and including 1.24.11. The vulnerability resides in the recursive_unserialized_replace function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exploit PHP Object Injection. Although no known POP (Property-Oriented Programming) chain exists within UpdraftPlus itself, the presence of such a chain in another installed plugin or theme could lead to dire consequences, including:

  • Deletion of Arbitrary Files: Attackers could remove critical files from your server.
  • Sensitive Data Retrieval: Confidential information may be exposed.
  • Code Execution: Malicious actors could execute harmful code, potentially compromising your entire site.
It’s important to note that for the exploit to be triggered, an administrator must perform a search and replace action, making this vulnerability less likely to affect sites with careful administrative practices.

Risk Assessment

  • CVSS Score: 8.8 (High)
  • Vulnerability Type: PHP Object Injection
  • Affected Versions: UpdraftPlus <= 1.24.11
  • Patched Version: 1.24.12
  • CVE: CVE-2024-10957
  • Public Disclosure Date: January 3, 2025

Recommendations

  1. Update Immediately: If you are using any version of UpdraftPlus <= 1.24.11, update to version 1.24.12 or newer. This is the most effective way to protect your website.
  2. Review Installed Plugins and Themes: Check for additional plugins or themes that may contain vulnerable POP chains. Keeping all your WordPress components updated is crucial to minimizing potential risks.
  3. Implement Security Best Practices:
    • Regularly back up your website using updated, secure tools.
    • Limit administrative actions, such as search and replace, to trusted personnel.
    • Consider using a WordPress firewall like Wordfence for proactive threat monitoring and mitigation.

Why This Matters

The UpdraftPlus plugin is widely used for website backups and migrations, making it a critical target for attackers. A vulnerability of this magnitude can severely impact businesses, lead to data breaches, and tarnish reputations. By acting quickly and following recommended best practices, website owners can mitigate risks and maintain the integrity of their websites.

Stay vigilant, keep your plugins updated, and prioritize security to protect your online presence!

Why Automatic WordPress Updates Can Break Your Website

When it comes to managing a WordPress website, keeping everything up-to-date is essential. But while automatic updates might seem like an easy solution, they can be a double-edged sword, especially for business websites. What happens when an update goes wrong? Let’s explore why automatic updates may not be the best choice for maintaining your site’s stability.

The Risks of Automatic Updates​

WordPress plugins and themes are constantly evolving to improve functionality, fix bugs, and enhance security. However, not all updates are created equal. A single update with flawed code can bring your website crashing down.

Imagine a plugin update pushed automatically to your site in the middle of peak business hours. If the update is faulty, your site could go offline, leaving you scrambling to fix the issue and losing valuable customers in the process.

Not long ago, a widely-used WordPress plugin by Facebook, designed for WooCommerce, released an update that contained invalid code. The issue wasn’t minor; it was severe enough to crash websites using the plugin.

Now, consider this: over 900,000 websites depend on that plugin. Had all of them been running automatic updates, nearly a million e-commerce stores could have been taken offline in an instant. The financial and reputational damage from such an event is unimaginable.

Unexpected Changes in Plugin Features​

Sometimes, the issue isn’t just a bug but an intentional overhaul. A case in point is the Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress (GADWP). An update completely revamped the plugin, removing key features and introducing new paid options without warning.

For businesses relying on those features, automatic updates would have been a nightmare, leading to broken workflows, customer frustration, and costly adjustments.

Compatibility Issues​

WordPress thrives on its vast ecosystem of plugins and themes, but this flexibility comes with a price. Not all components play well together. Automatic updates can trigger compatibility issues, such as:

  • Plugins that require other components to be updated first.
  • Updates that conflict with custom code or bespoke functionality.
  • Themes that stop working properly after plugin updates.
When these issues occur, the automated process offers no way to test or anticipate problems, leaving you scrambling to find solutions after the fact.

Why Automatic Updates Aren’t Maintenance​

Some website owners mistake automatic updates for a maintenance strategy. They’re not. Real website maintenance involves more than just hitting the "update" button. It requires:

  • Testing updates in a controlled environment.
  • Ensuring compatibility with customizations and other plugins.
  • Monitoring performance after updates to catch subtle issues.
Automatic updates bypass all of this, leaving your site vulnerable to unexpected problems.

The Better Approach: Managed Maintenance​

For business websites, the best approach is hands-on maintenance. Here’s why:

  1. Human oversight ensures that every update is thoroughly reviewed.
  2. Staging environments allow for testing updates before they go live.
  3. Rollback options provide a safety net if an update causes issues.
Professional maintenance services can also address underlying server technologies and coding standards, ensuring your website remains functional and secure over time.

The Role of Security in Updates​

While staying updated is crucial for security, automatic updates aren’t the only way to protect your site. A proactive maintenance plan that includes regular security checks and timely updates is far more reliable.

Personal Websites vs. Business Websites​

For personal or hobby websites, automatic updates might be a convenient choice. These sites typically have fewer visitors and lower stakes. But for a business, where every minute of downtime could mean lost revenue, relying on automation is a risky gamble.

Automatic updates might seem like a quick fix, but they’re not worth the potential headaches they can create. By opting for professional, hands-on maintenance, you ensure that every update is carefully managed, your site remains stable, and your business avoids costly downtime.

Invest in a maintenance strategy that prioritizes your business goals and keeps you in control—because your website is too important to leave to chance.

List of Phones That Won’t Support WhatsApp in 2025

1000390251.jpg

WhatsApp is rolling out updates that will make the messaging app incompatible with some older smartphones, and Nigerian users are being urged to check if their devices will be affected.

In 2025, WhatsApp will stop working on phones that run outdated operating systems, particularly those that are more than 10 years old. This will affect both the regular WhatsApp app and WhatsApp Business.

The first major update will take effect on January 1, 2025, which will end support for Android phones running KitKat OS and earlier versions. However, not everyone with KitKat will be impacted – if your device can be updated to a newer OS, you’ll still be able to use WhatsApp. The problem arises for phones that can’t receive OS updates, leaving users unable to download the latest software.

While this change will initially affect a limited number of Android phones, by mid-2025, WhatsApp will also stop working on older iPhones. From May 5, 2025, WhatsApp will no longer support iOS versions earlier than 15.1. If your iPhone is running a version older than that, such as iOS 12.5.7, you’ll need to upgrade your device to keep using WhatsApp.

Phones that won’t support WhatsApp from May 5 include:
  • iPhone 5s iPhone 6
  • iPhone 6 Plus

So, is your phone on the list? If so, it might be time to think about upgrading before the new year hits!

BREAKING Alternative search engines

I stopped copying from other websites, and I’ve redirected a new domain to the host .

I didn’t engage in any black hat seo or PBNs

I’m pretty sure it’s my copied content , I’ve lost 90% of my traffic
Then relax. Continue publishing your content. It'll fix itself.
