US housing bill banning Fed CBDC becomes law without Trump's signature

The "21st Century ROAD to Housing Act," which includes a provision banning the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC), has become US law without President Trump's signature. The legislation marks a significant win for critics of government-issued digital currencies who fear state overreach into personal finances. The bill was primarily a housing measure but the CBDC ban was embedded as an additional provision.

Is banning the Fed from issuing a digital dollar the right decision?

Hackers hijack accounts without stealing passwords — how session attacks work

Cybercriminals are increasingly using session token theft to hijack accounts without ever knowing the victim's password or two-factor code. After a user logs in, attackers steal the session cookie — via malware or phishing — and impersonate the victim directly in their browser. This method bypasses most traditional security measures because the system recognises the session as legitimate.

Are a strong password and 2FA enough to protect online accounts today?

Courtois: I could have stayed on, but coach Garcia took me off

Thibaut Courtois was substituted during Belgium's 1:2 quarter-final defeat to Spain at the 2026 World Cup, but said he felt capable of playing on. Coach Rudi Garcia made the call to replace him. Belgium are eliminated, while Spain advance to the semi-finals.

Should Rudi Garcia have kept Courtois in goal?

Washing machine Eco mode uses less electricity than short cycles — use it

The Eco mode on washing machines can run for several hours, leading most users to assume it consumes more electricity. In fact, it uses far less energy than shorter, hotter programmes because it washes at lower temperatures and limits water heating. Using Eco regularly can meaningfully cut electricity bills.

Do you use the Eco mode on your washing machine?

🔬 Science

Low pressure and dry cabin air make plane food taste bland

At cruising altitude of around 10,000 m, cabin pressure drops to the equivalent of about 2,400 m above sea level, reducing taste-bud sensitivity to sweetness and saltiness by around 30%. The extremely dry cabin air dries out nasal membranes, dulling the sense of smell that accounts for much of flavour perception. Engine noise further suppresses taste while amplifying bitterness and umami.

The woman fulfilled her late mother's dying wish by returning the stolen sand to the island. Taking sand from Sardinian beaches is now strictly prohibited and can result in fines of several thousand euros.

Are heavy fines for taking beach sand justified?

Four wrong-way driving incidents were recorded over nine months on the S1 expressway bypass near Węgierska Górka. The Katowice branch of GDDKiA says some drivers are following erroneous Google Maps instructions that suggest a U-turn in a prohibited zone after missing an exit. The authority warns this poses a serious safety risk on the high-speed road.

Poland's architecture and construction sector is steadily advancing in digital maturity, with the BIM methodology being adopted on an increasingly wide scale. However, reports from Autodesk highlight a persistent skills gap among workers in the sector. Digital transformation offers major opportunities, but requires significant investment in training and education.

Prof. Hryciuk: Ukrainian historians mythologise OUN and UPA role in Volhynia massacre

Professor Grzegorz Hryciuk of the University of Wrocław argues that some Ukrainian historians are building a mythologised historical narrative that denies the criminal nature of OUN and UPA actions against Poles in 1943–1945. The scholar addresses the question of what Stepan Bandera knew about the Volhynia genocide and points to political entanglement in Ukrainian historiography.

Should Ukraine officially recognise the Volhynia massacre as genocide?
