Давайте же сегодня сделаем датчик в таком форм-факторе, в котором точно не купишь в магазине, будет отличный подарок на Новый Год или Рождество.

Я не буду в сотый раз расписывать - что такое измерение CO₂ и если тема для вас непонятна - почитать можно например тут.

Тем не менее, датчик можно высунуть в окно, прижать ногу на 5 секунд - датчик тогда возьмёт текущее значение как 400 ppm.

Печатные платыЗаказываем и ждём :) У меня случилось что-то с доставкой и я получил платы только недели через три с извинениями.

Стоимость прибораТочную стоимость сильно зависит от кол-ва изготавливаемых экземпляров и что у вас есть уже в наличии.

Ждём, братья и сёстры, настоящего чуда: умножения модулей, как в Евангелии, и внезапного озарения инженеров благодатью Божией — иначе никак.

Там падают, встают, снова летят и в конце концов летают надёжно.

В году нынешнем всего дважды такая милость приключилась (первая в июле, а еще одна ожидается в конце декабря), а очередь уже стоит, как на причастие в Пасху.

Господи, благослови их старт, чтобы не как у многих предшественников — в вечный полёт без возврата, а с успешным приземлением и новыми высотами!

А в пилотируемой космонавтике и научной сфере — полная стагнация и тихое угасание, как лампадка без масла.

Ещё со школьной скамьи я являюсь фанатом любых устройств на WinCE — и в первую очередь, за концепцию этой ОС.

И что самое интересное — программы, собранные для .NET CF, свободно запускались на обычном ПК... аж за 12 лет до появления UWP!

В отличии от NT и 9x, ядро WinCE было ОСРВ и разрабатывалось специально для устройств с очень ограниченными возможностями.

Дело в том, что в те годы с постоянной памятью в Embedded-устройствах были проблемы.

Дело в том, что в 90-х были очень популярны портативные органайзеры Psion.

Если попробовать сделать что-то такое (псевдокод):load R1 add R0, R1, R0то перед инструкцией add произойдет остановка конвейера до момента, когда данные придут в R1.

Например, посмотрим на такой псевдокод:load R1 sum: { loop sum add R0, R1, R0 load R1 } add R0, R1, R0Здесь каждая итерация будет занимать более 1 такта, потому что add , запущенный на текущей итерации, ждёт данных от load , запущенной на предыдущей итерации.

Получается примерно так:load R1 load R2 load R3 sum: { loop sum add R0, R1, R0 load R1 abn } add R0, R1, R0 add R0, R2, R0 add R0, R3, R0Здесь инструкция abn вращает имена регистров.

Например, зафиксировано, что после запуска инструкции load данные придут в R1 в конце 5 та…

История, которой мы с коллегами хотим поделиться, началась год назад с трех бездомных котов, поселившихся… прямо на территории нашего будущего дата-центра в Москве.

В Selectel можно найти единомышленников по любому вопросу и в этот раз так и получилось.

Прошло несколько дней, и мы поняли — нужен план Б. Любой миссии, конечно, необходимо особое название — так появились «Селекотики».

Я в тот момент находилась в Москве, а коллеги — в Питере, а буквально через пару я уезжала домой, в другой город.

Их готовность пойти навстречу позволила нам сделать невозможное: моментально и с минимально возможными затратами организовать обследование, лечение и стационар.

Что такое Tiny Core LinuxTiny Core Linux — полноценный дистрибутив Linux с минимальным потреблением ресурсов.

Система ориентирована на современные машины, а не на ретро-компьютеры.

Tiny Core позволяет развернуть минимальную рабочую систему и добавить только необходимое — например, редактор и легкий браузер без фоновых служб и лишних зависимостей.

SliTaz и Slax доступнее для начинающих, Tiny Core и Floppinux — для тех, кто готов к настройкам ради компактности.

Кому подойдет Tiny Core LinuxTiny Core Linux — система для узкой аудитории.

Именно эта армия энтузиастов, выросших на Arduino с середины 2000-х, сейчас двигает индустрию.

Потому что Arduino — это не конечная остановка, а стартовый наркотик.

Arduino не сделала больше, чем вузы в смысле научных открытий.

Но лучше для них, а не для миллионов людей, которые теперь могут создавать роботов без пяти лет академического обучения.

Стоит отметить, что это на один день раньше даты, от которой начинают отсчёт многие другие алгоритмы: 0000-03-01 .

Мы можем указать побитовый сдвиг ровно на 64 , что на 64-битных компьютерах происходит «бесплатно».

Побитовый сдвиг на 64 в данном случае «бесплатен» благодаря тому, как работают 64-битные компьютеры.

Поэтому побитовый сдвиг на 64 — это просто скомпилированный машинный код, использующий первый из двух регистров, то есть не выполняющий никакой работы.

На этот раз мы не выполняем сразу побитовый сдвиг на 64 , потому что будем использовать и старшую, и младшую части результата.

Разбираем внутреннее устройство ПФР РФ, объясняем почему это не фонд вовсе, и смотрим как пенсфонды работают в других странах мира.

Почему это не фонд, а касса взаимопомощиБольшинство граждан России живут в плену семантической ловушки, созданной самим названием «Пенсионный Фонд».

Российская же система это не фонд, а распределительный механизм (pay-as-you-go), работающий по принципу «с колес».

Чтобы понять истинный масштаб изъятий, необходимо смотреть не на расчетный листок работника, а на фонд оплаты труда работодателя.

В каждом проданном смартфоне Apple, в каждом автомобиле Toyota и в каждой пачке продукции Nestle есть крошечная доля норвежского пенсионера.

Здесь ещё никого не грабят, не пугают уголовными делами и не просят «срочно перевести деньги».

Настоящая поддержка Госуслуг или банка никогда не звонит через мессенджеры и не просит диктовать коды.

Потом условный Индезит прописывает номер твоего сервиса в гарантийном талоне и в случае поломки ты получаешь клиента.

И часто это и правда так.

С клиентами в такой обстановочке происходит то же, что и в случае с производителем, который постоянно подозревает сервис в обмане.

Люди звонят и говорят, вы что творите, зачем так накручиваете, и мы с пеной у рта доказывали что на Озоне неоригинал.

«Музыкальная» раскладка клавиш на клавиатуре ПКНесмотря на не самый интуитивно-понятный интерфейс и платность программы, она завоевала успех.

Процесс кросс-разработки подразумевает, что исходный код программы редактируется и транслируется, а также, возможно, и отлаживается, не на той платформе, для которой создаётся программа, а на более продвинутой и удобной в использовании — обычно на современном для своего времени мощном ПК.

И не только на игровых консолях, где это был единственный вариант, но и на домашних компьютерах, хотя они позволяли разрабатывать программы на них самих же.

Valve остановила производство самой дешёвой версии Steam Deck на 256 ГБ с ЖК-дисплеем.

Место начальной версии займёт Steam Deck OLED на 512 ГБ за $550 — она на четверть дороже старой «базы».

При этом компания продолжит выпускать обновления SteamOS для всех владельцев версии с LCD-дисплеем.

По словам инсайдеров, Valve не объявляет стоимость Steam Machine именно из-за резко возросших цен на память и теперь даже подумывает перенести релиз консоли с начала 2026 года на конец весны, когда цены стабилизируются.

По данным тайваньского издания Benchlife, NVIDIA тоже подумывает ополовинить производство самых доступных видеокарт RTX 50-й серии.

Компания во всю экспериментирует с искусственным интеллектом для улучшения алгоритмов компьютерной фотографии.

Первым крупным результатом работы стала нейросеть DarkDiff, способная убирать шум и восстанавливать детали ночных снимков с минимальными потерями.

Она построена на базе открытой модели Stable Diffusion V2-1 и, в отличие от других нейросетей, не обрабатывает снимок после того, как он был сделан, а занимается шумными участками ещё в процессе сохранения фотографии.

А ещё Apple в тайне от всего мира работает над революционным CMOS-сенсором со встроенным «аналоговым» шумодавом и уже во всю тестирует собственную матрицу для будущих iPhone.

Ждать все нововведения, впрочем, стоит не раньше…

Alice AI теперь встроена и в приложение для чтения.

Её задача — по запросу выдать пользователю совет, что ещё эдакого можно почитать.

Для советов в приложении появился раздел «AI про книги».

В нём можно простым языком описать, чего душа желает: попросить найти что-то похожее на другую серию книг, книгу определённого автора или нужной тематики.

Теперь появился и персональный книжный куратор, получается.

Руководство ByteDance подписало соглашение с группой инвесторов в лице Oracle, Silver Lake Management и MGX о создании совместного предприятия, которое будет владеть американским TikTok, — пишет CNBC.

Акции в новообразованной TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC распределились так: 19,9 % у ByteDance, 30,1 % у инвесторов, связанных с ByteDance, и по 15 % у Oracle, Silver Lake Management и MGX у каждой.

Отвечать за защиту данных пользователей в американском TikTok будет местная Oracle, чего и добивались власти страны.

Алгоритм сервиса, непонятки с которым затянули заключение сделки, китайское подразделение предоставит Oracle на условиях лицензии, после чего последняя его переобучит самостоятельно.

Электрическая пишмашинка превратилась в интерфейс для общения с нейросетью Claude.

Вопрос нужно напечатать на бумаге, он отправится в нейронку, а пришедший оттуда ответ уже печатает сама машинка на том же листе.

Внутри корпуса он подключил 32 контакта для перехвата нажатий клавиш, а снаружи — остальную электронику, в том числе одноплатный компьютер Raspberry Pi Zero и полноценный Linux-терминал для обработки и передачи сигналов.

Так что машинка сама ни на что не отвечает, а выступает физическим интерфейсом для связи с облачной моделью.

Передача импульсов на контакты клавиш имитирует нажатие на кнопки, и получается, что аппарат будто сам печатает, отвечая на вопросы.

Проблемы со связью начались в начале декабря, а позже сервис и вовсе перестал работать на территории России, — пишет портал «Такие дела».

Be My Eyes — это приложение, которое позволяет волонтёрам со всего мира помогать с решением любых вопросов слабовидящим и незрячим людям.

Например, подходит ли одежда для мероприятия или что написано в квитанции.

В приложении также есть голосовой ассистент, который может помочь, если по какой-то причине незрячий не хочет совершать звонок.

Он тоже позволяет получить помощь по аудио- или видеозвонку, но, по словам разработчиков, сервис не повторяет все функции международного приложения.

Компания отправила запрос на предоставление техспецификаций OLED-матриц, производимых Samsung и LG.

У Apple также есть запрос на использование классической RGB OLED-панели.

Издание пишет, что iMac с OLED появится ближе к 2028 году.

Между тем недавно появились слухи об iMac Pro на чипе М5 Max, который должен появиться в 2026 году.

Вероятнее всего, OLED в нём не будет.

На днях Минцифры сообщило о планах по созданию базы IMEI-номеров смартфонов, а сегодня дополнили свою задумку: регистрация смартфонов в реестре будет платной, — сообщает «КоммерсантЪ».

Утверждается, что для официально ввезённых устройств рассматривается вариант с фиксированной ставкой, размер которой пока обсуждается.

Регистрация серого смартфона в реестре IMEI потребует заплатить определённый процент от стоимости гаджета.

Ведомство утверждает, что в 2027 году вступит требование о привязке IMEI к номеру телефона.

Если гражданин этого не сделает, то SIM-карта не будет работать.

Новый чип на 40 % быстрее предыдущего «Эксиноса».

Он поддерживает дисплеи с максимальным разрешением 4K и частотой обновления 120 Гц, а также умеет записывать видео 8K 30 FPS.

Всего ядер CPU у него десять: главное из них, C1-Ultra, разогнано до 3,8 ГГц.

Ещё три ядра C1-Prox 3 работают на 3,25 ГГц, а оставшиеся шесть вспомогательных ядер шуршат на частоте 2,75 ГГц.

Чтобы новый «Эксинос» совсем уж быстро не перегревался, Samsung поставила в него пассивную систему теплоотведения нового образца на основе эпоксидного компаунда High-k EMC.

Всё из-за того, что Apple якобы не успевает наладить производство складного айфона к 2026 году!

При этом аналитики J.P. Morgan уверены, что даже при ценнике в $2000 смартфон будет разлетаться как горячие пирожки!

По их оценкам, Apple успеет продать больше 20 миллионов «Фолдов» уже в первый год, поскольку почти половина американцев, желающих приобрести раскладушку, хотят себе именно складной iPhone.

По мнению Куо, Apple удастся выйти на стабильные, бесперебойные поставки iPhone Fold лишь к началу 2027 года, а значит, нас ждёт самый дефицитный айфон в истории!

Как ожидается, Apple представит iPhone Fold в сентябре 2026 года вместе с бордовыми iPhone 18 Pro и Pro Max.

Давайте поиграем в игру: кто помнит последний смартфон Google, по которому компания бы не объявляла расширенную гарантию из-за производственного брака?

Каждый год одно и то же: смартфон выходит, а через пару лет внезапно оказывается, что то дисплеи отлетают, то батареи.

На этот раз — с дисплеями в некоторых моделях линейки 9 Pro.

Смартфон можно сдать в ремонт, если на экране появилась вертикальная полоса снизу доверху или если этот экран мерцает, когда не должен.

Ну а так как смартфоны Google официально в России не продаются, то и под программу замены ваши «Пиксели» не попадают, увы.

У iPhone 18 Pro и Pro Max камера отправится в правый верхний угол.

Согласно новым слухам, передняя панель новых айфонов существенно изменится впервые с 2023 года, когда был презентован iPhone 14 Pro с динамическим островом.

Более консервативный — камера в центре.

Совсем дикий — камера под экраном, но это будет в экспериментальном складном iPhone.

Релиз iPhone 18 Pro и 18 Pro ожидается в сентябре 2026 года.

Следующие два года обещают стать одними из самых жарких за новейшую историю компании: нас ждут юбилейный айфон, домашние роботы, MacBook Pro с тотальным редизайном, первый iPad Air с OLED-дисплеем!

По слухам, компания рискнёт продавать его немногим дороже $600;минорный апдейт Mac mini до чипов M5 и M5 Pro;новый король производительности — Mac Studio на M5 Max и M5 Ultra.

До конца 2026 года Apple может представить:первый MacBook Pro с OLED-экраном да ещё и в новом дизайне.

Правда, пока неясно, получит ли редизайн MacBook Pro на базовом чипе M6.

Новости Гурман: Apple выпустит домашнего робота с рукой в 2026 годуКроме того, осенью 2027 года нас ждёт и юбилейный iPhone 20.

Внедрение ИИ — это не только про создание контента.

Этот этап осваивается довольно быстро, если в команде есть нужные скиллы.

Гораздо важнее не застрять здесь, превратив ИИ в ещё одну текучку с бесконечным дообучением моделей и валидацией результатов.

Нужно как можно быстрее перейти на следующую ступень и перестроить весь маркетинговый контур: чтобы классическое машинное обучение вместе с генеративным ИИ пронизывали всю производственную цепочку, а сама цепочка строилась вокруг ai-powered конвейера.

В такой модели люди становятся экспертами в предметной области: обслуживают конвейер, вовремя «меняют запчасти» (модели) и тонко настраивают каждый узел этой мультиагентной системы.

Президент России Владимир Путин отметил, что по итогам 2025 года инфляция в стране может составить 5,7–5,8%.

Он подчеркнул, что для бизнеса и граждан это означает сохранение высоких ставок по кредитам как минимум в ближайшие полгода.

Meta* разрабатывает новую ИИ-модель искусственного интеллекта для генерации изображений и видео под кодовым названием Mango.

Как сообщили в WSJ, о планах компании рассказал директор по ИИ Meta* Александр Ван во время внутренней сессии вопросов и ответов с руководством.

В Meta* это направление считают одним из ключевых — и для массового пользователя, и для растущего рынка ИИ-продуктов.

В последние месяцы генерация изображений и видео превратилась в одно из главных полей конкуренции между крупнейшими разработчиками ИИ.

Теперь в основе направления — коммерциализация ИИРазработка Mango вписывается в более широкий стратегический разворот Meta* в сфере ИИ.

При этом рост выручки в такой картине часто оказывается «бумажным»: обороты подрастают за счёт повышения цен, а не за счёт количества заказов и чеков.

Работа OpenZFS проверена с ядрами Linux c 4.18 по 6.18 и всеми ветками FreeBSD, начиная с 13.3.

OpenZFS уже используется во FreeBSD и входит в состав дистрибутивов Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, NixOS и ALT Linux.

OpenZFS предоставляет реализацию компонентов ZFS, связанных как с работой файловой системы, так и с функционированием менеджера томов.

Проект Debian начал тестирование системы Debusine, позволяющей создавать индивидуальные репозитории, через которые можно распространять более новые версии программ, проводить предварительное тестирование пакетов или размещать дополнительные пакеты, не подходящие для штатных репозиториев Debian. Debusine преподносится как созданный для Debian аналог репозиториев PPA (Personal Package Archive), применяемых в Ubuntu. Проект развивает Колин Ватсон (Colin Watson), в своё время входивший в технические комитеты Debian и Ubuntu, и занимавшийся разработкой сервиса Launchpad, инсталлятора Ubuntu и системы инициализации Upstart.

Альянс AOUSD (Alliance for OpenUSD), курируемый организацией Linux Foundation, опубликовал спецификацию OpenUSD Core Specification 1.0, определяющую универсальный формат и язык для описания 3D-сцен, оптимизированный для совместной работы над 3D-контентом. Спецификация преподносится как открытый стандарт для создания 3D-контента и обмена данными между разными 3D-редакторами и платформами. В разработке спецификации приняли участие такие компании, как Pixar, Lucasfilm, Adobe, Apple, Amazon, Autodesk, NVIDIA, Sony, Intel и Meta. О поддержке стандарта заявили такие компании, как Hexagon, PTC, Renault, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, Siemens; Amazon, IKEA, Epic Games, Cesium и Esri.

Поведены итоги соревнований ZeroDay Cloud, проведённых на конференции Black Hat Europe и нацеленных на выявление уязвимостей в открытом ПО, применяемом в облачных окружениях. В ходе мероприятия было продемонстрировано 11 ранее неизвестных уязвимостей в Redis, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, ядре Linux и Grafana. Размер выплаченных вознаграждений составил 320 тысяч долларов при общем заявленном призовом фонде в 4.5 млн долларов.

Опубликован корректирующий выпуск почтового сервера Exim 4.99.1, в котором устранена уязвимость (CVE-2025-67896), позволяющая удалённому атакующему повредить содержимое памяти вне выделенного буфера. Потенциально проблема может использоваться для удалённого выполнения кода на сервере, но рабочий эксплоит пока не подготовлен.

ELF Crimes: Program Interpreter FunDecember 21, 2025For reasons I don't even remember, I was reading about the details of the ELF executable format, and stumbled across the program interpreter functionality used for dynamic linking.

The ELF interpreter functionality in particular is much much simpler: after the to-be-interpreted executable is loaded into memory, the OS then loads the interpreter executable into the same process address space, and executes the interpreter's code.

The interpreter path already has an explicitly-specified length in the ELF program headers, so why does it also need to be NUL-terminated?

Just use a shebang, the mild portability issues with those pale in compariso…

Called long-duration energy storage, or LDES in industry parlance, the concept is the key to maximizing the value of renewable energy.

A profile of Josh Woodward, the head of Google Labs who is credited with turning around the Gemini app, growing its MAUs from 350M in March to 650M by October — Josh Woodward may not be a household name in Silicon Valley. But inside Google, everybody knows about him.

The carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) puts a carbon price on many imported goods—meaning that EU-based importers will pay for the greenhouse gases emitted during the production of certain carbon-intensive materials.

If goods come from countries with weaker climate rules, then the charge will be higher.

Although it is an EU climate policy, CBAM looks set to be a game-changer for global trade.

Morocco is a prominent example: its 2025 finance law gradually introduces a carbon tax from January 2026.

As Moroccan firms will already pay a carbon price domestically, their exports are likely to avoid additional CBAM charges at the EU border, helping them remain competitive.

Google has filed a lawsuit to protect its search results, targeting a firm called SerpApi that has turned Google’s 10 blue links into a business.

According to Google, SerpApi ignores established law and Google’s terms to scrape and resell its search engine results pages (SERPs).

Google does not provide an API for its search results, which are based on the world’s largest and most comprehensive web index.

That prompted Reddit to file a lawsuit against SerpApi and Perplexity for grabbing its data from Google results.

So while you could reasonably argue that Google’s lawsuit helps protect the rights of web publishers, it also explicitly protects Google’s business interests.

They have discovered that this dilemma most likely shaped the evolutionary trajectory of ants, one of Earth’s most successful groups of organisms.

Their study reveals that, as ant societies grew in complexity and numbers, they didn’t just make their workers smaller—they also made them cheaper.

While skimping on armor for an individual insect may be a death sentence, the evolution of ants apparently found a way around it.

To test this hypothesis, they examined whether ant lineages that maintain massive, specialized workforces reduce the investment in their individual workers’ exoskeletons.

The team used a massive database called Antscan, which contains three-dimensional X-ray microtomography…

The Switch 2’s data-free, download-enabling Game Key Cards have proved controversial with players who worry about long-term ownership and access issues to their purchases.

But they’ve remained popular with publishers that want to save production costs on a boxed Switch 2 game release, since Game Key Cards don’t include any of the expensive flash memory found on a standard Switch 2 cartridge.

This allows us to recalculate production in a way that wasn’t possible before.”As such, Inin said it has decided to replace the Game Key Cards that were going to be in the game’s retail box with full physical cartridges.

That change will result in the game’s asking price going up by €10 (about $13) “due…

Online fury erupted this week after an LG TV owner claimed that a firmware update installed unremovable generative AI software on their smart TV.

The controversy began on Saturday, when a Reddit user posted about the sudden appearance of a Microsoft Copilot icon on their device (something Windows users are all too familiar with).

The Reddit user claimed that a “new software update installed Copilot” onto their LG TV and that it couldn’t be deleted.

LG has since admitted that it used a webOS update to force Copilot onto some of its TVs.

However, the firmware update didn’t install the Copilot application but rather a shortcut to the Copilot web app, which opens in the TV’s integrated web brow…

At this point, most competitive online multiplayer games on the PC come with some kind of kernel-level anti-cheat software.

As we’ve written before, this is software that runs with more elevated privileges than most other apps and games you run on your PC, allowing it to load in earlier and detect advanced methods of cheating.

More recently, anti-cheat software has started to require more Windows security features like Secure Boot, a TPM 2.0 module, and virtualization-based memory integrity protection.

Riot Games, best known for titles like Valorant and League of Legends and the Vanguard anti-cheat software, has often been one of the earliest to implement new anti-cheat requirements.

SEATTLE—The last coal-fired power plant in Washington state was set to go cold at the end of the year.

It required the Canadian energy company that owns the power plant, TransAlta, to retrain workers and ease the local community’s economic transition.

There is, however, no imminent shortage of electricity in Washington state or across the Pacific Northwest, according to state officials and regional energy experts.

The TransAlta power plant is days away from completing its shutdown—a milestone the company and the state have been working toward since 2011.

Instacart has agreed to pay out $60 million in subscriber refunds, the Federal Trade Commission announced on Thursday.

That includes supposedly offering “free delivery,” when customers actually paid up to 15 percent in “service fees” not charged for pickup orders.

Instacart “pocketed tens of millions of dollars by failing to honor its promise of 100 percent consumer satisfaction,” the FTC alleged.

Refunds won’t be offered to customers allegedly harmed by those claims, but subscribers who were never told upfront that they’d be automatically charged after free trials will soon be repaid.

The settlement stipulated that Instacart would transfer funds to the FTC within 14 days of the court’s app…

Earlier this month, Strava, the popular fitness-tracking app, released its annual “Year in Sport” wrap-up—a cutesy, animated series of graphics summarizing each user’s athletic achievements.

This decision has roiled numerous Strava users, particularly those who have relished the app’s social encouragement features.

Strava spokesperson Chris Morris declined to answer Ars’ specific questions about why the decision to put Year in Sport behind a paywall was made now.

“I did notice the Year in Sport and was a little annoyed that I couldn’t unlock it,” she said in an email.

“I would’ve expected some overall stats for everyone and extra stats for subscribers.

For several years now, in discussing plans for its human spaceflight program beyond the International Space Station, Russian officials would proudly bring up the Russian Orbital Station, or ROS.

Rather, its core will be the Russian segment of the International Space Station.

“We’ve decided on a 51.6-degree inclination angle for our ROS space station,” he said.

“Previously, we were considering a 96-degree inclination angle.” The International Space Station is situated in a 51.6-degree inclination orbit, easily accessible from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

After a year of stalled negotiations, TikTok owner ByteDance has reportedly agreed to Donald Trump’s deal giving US owners majority ownership of the app.

By signing the agreements, ByteDance has ended a prolonged period of uncertainty for millions of Americans who rely on TikTok for news, entertainment, social connection, and income.

According to Reuters, terms of the deal match what was reported in September when Trump controversially confirmed that ByteDance would keep the algorithm.

Under the deal, US investors and allies—including cloud computing firm Oracle, private equity group Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX—will likely license the algorithm.

And so it went with the Mira spacecraft built by Impulse, which is known as an orbital transfer vehicle.

This was the second flight by a Mira spacecraft, so Impulse Space was eager to continue testing the vehicle in flight.

And this second company, Starfish Space, took control.

In this case, it was the very first Mira spacecraft launched by Impulse, in November 2023.

New York governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation on Friday aimed at holding large AI developers accountable for the safety of their models.

Amazon is selling Apple's USB-C Magic Mouse for $68 , which is a discount of 14 percent.

It's rare for official Apple accessories to go on sale, and the USB-C Magic Mouse is pretty much a must-have for those working on desktop computers.

As the name suggests, this mouse charges via USB-C. Apple stuck with replaceable AA batteries for way too long, so this change was much appreciated.

The USB-C port is underneath the mouse, rendering it unusable while charging.

He needs as much money as possible to get to Mars, therefore, if you squint, getting as rich as possible is actually heroic and Elon Musk is our savior.ÂThis isn’t all wrong.

If you don’t subscribe to one of these ideas, then Elon Musk might seem like he has a good point.ÂElon Musk doesn’t have a good point, however.

You and I have the same Google as Elon Musk, so it’s not like he doesn’t know about these problems.

We finally have a release date for Steel Ball Run, the next Jojo adventure: March 19.

The date was revealed at a Jump Festa panel for the anime, which also had a new trailer highlighting the main cast.

Set in 1890s America, our hero is Johnny Joestar (Shogo Sakata), a paraplegic ex-jockey who gains the ability to walk again after touching a powered-up steel ball.

The owner of said ball, Gyro Zeppelli (Yohei Azakami), is participating in the titular cross-country horse race run by promoter Steven Steel (Kenta Miyake) and his wife Lucy (Rie Takahashi), so Johnny also joins.

The “first stage” of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run arriving in March is a 47-minute long premiere, and it’…

Earlier this year, it was reported YouTube was very much aware its platform was plagued by fake movie trailers, often for films that didn’t have actual trailers of their own.

Created or marketed with generative AI, these have made looking for trailers such a pain, and now that’s thankfully a bit less painful.

Per Deadline, YouTube shut down Screen Culture and KH Studio, two of the worst offenders of this trend the outlet previously reported on.

Both channels are connected to Screen Culture and have previously made “trailers” for films like Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman, or popular TV shows like Squid Games.

The Volkswagen ID.

A representative of the company told that site, “Following a careful assessment of current EV market conditions, we have made the strategic decision not to move forward with [model year 2026] ID.

In spite of this being the official line from its parent company, a car getting completely taken out of production for the U.S. market in 2026 is probably not a great sign.

As a minivan and an EV, it theoretically has practical applications as a family car that costs very little to run over the long term.

At-home EV charging in the U.S. is still pretty rare unless one deliberately installs it.

Going forward, the Nebula Awards aren’t allowing for anything remotely involved with generative AI to be eligible for nominations, much less win.

On Friday morning, Kate Risatu, president of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), reiterated the awards’ review process as it relates to large language model tools (LLMs).

Creators who used LLMs at all during the writing process will have to disclose their use upon accepting a nomination, after which they’ll be disqualified.

Generative AI and LLMs are controversial in creative spaces such as writing and video games.

The winners for the 2026 Nebula Awards will be revealed during the awards conference in Chicago, which runs from…

James Gunn has reportedly found the actor to play his big bad for the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow.

Per Deadline, German actor Lars Eidinger, most recently seen in Netflix’s Jay Kelly, has booked the part of Brainiac.

“In our worldwide search for Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow, Lars Eidinger rose to the top,” Gunn wrote on Twitter.

“Welcome to the DCU, Lars.”In our worldwide search for Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow, Lars Eidinger rose to the top.

He’s also the predecessor to Brainiac 5, a superhero who sometimes goes up against his evil ancestor.

The My Hero Academia anime came to a big end last weekend—but as fans predicted, there’s one more part of the story to tell.

The chapter was an exclusive for the manga’s final volume, and it was the only main chapter to not release during the manga’s serialized schedule.

Bones’ adaptation of My Hero Academia hits the decade mark on April 3, 2026.

The press release teased more reveals to come in 2026, so we’ll be waiting to see if those plans include a fifth movie.

Until then, the “More” episode will hit Crunchyroll on May 2, 2026, followed by the world concert tour starting on May 30.

AI image generation models have massive sets of visual data to pull from in order to create unique outputs.

A study published in the journal Patterns took two AI image generators, Stable Diffusion XL and LLaVA, and put them to test by playing a game of visual telephone.

Across 1,000 different iterations of the telephone game, the researchers found that most of the image sequences would eventually fall into just one of 12 dominant motifs.

In the study, they referred to the common image styles as “visual elevator music,” basically the type of pictures that you’d see hanging up in a hotel room.

Of course, the AI model is pulling from human-created prompts, so there is something to be said abou…

Nearly 80 years later, the simplex method is still among the most widely used tools when a logistical or supply-chain decision needs to be made under complex constraints.

“It has always run fast, and nobody’s seen it not be fast,” said Sophie Huiberts of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).

For the simplex method, “our traditional tools for studying algorithms don’t work,” Huiberts said.

Optimal GeometryThe simplex method was designed to address a class of problems like this: Suppose a furniture company makes armoires, beds, and chairs.

The simplex method turns situations like this—though often involving many more variables—into a geometry problem.

There's a case to be made for using a cheap 1080p monitor with the Mac Mini, but most Mac users will want something a bit more premium.

Either way, here are the four elements to consider when shopping for a good monitor to go with your Mac Mini.

Some monitors have USB-C that support display, which will let you connect to one of the Mac Mini's Thunderbolt ports.

These can be useful, as the Mac Mini doesn't have any on its own.

Image quality: Apple prides itself on the image quality of its Macs, so in the case of the Mac Mini, you'll likely want to get something worthy of your Mac.

Space heaters top out at 1,500 watts, which is the highest safe operating load for a 15-amp household circuit.

And aside from some low-power personal heaters here and there, most space heaters you'll find on the market are 1,500-watt heaters.

So if space heaters are the same power and the same efficiency, why are some 1,500-watt heaters advertised for small rooms and some for large rooms?

The vast majority of space heaters, including ceramic heaters and PTC heaters, are electric resistance heaters.

For digital music, that's lossless audio.

But what exactly is lossless audio, how do you get it, and does it really make a difference?

At the risk of stating the obvious, lossless audio is digital audio that has lost none of the information originally contained in the recording.

And it has endured—any digital audio file with a resolution of at least 16-bit/44.1 kHz can be described as lossless, as long as it’s stored in a lossless format like FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) or, indeed, on a compact disc.

Is Lossless Audio Better Than Regular Audio?

Dave Bautista!—that cinema dreams are made of, Glass Onion might be the best thing Netflix has dropped all year.

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration.

Just $1 billion of the bailout has been set aside for farmers who produce other crops; when those payments will be made available has not yet been announced.

But Trump’s latest billion-dollar bailout does much more than funnel even more cash into Big Ag, which accounts for a significant share of the roughly 10 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions released by agricultural activities nationwide.

The corporate handout is also adding kindling to a feud brewing within factions of the right wing in American politics.

Now they’ve hit a particularly large and sensitive trove of highly personal data: user records for PornHub, the world’s biggest porn site.

According to a public statement from PornHub, the data appears to have been taken from MixPanel, a data analytics firm the porn site used until 2021, suggesting the breached data may be four years old or older.

But the increasing ubiquity and convenience of public Wi-Fi doesn't mean there aren't ways to make more of it—and to keep yourself better protected when you get online.

Here's how to stay connected to public Wi-Fi the expert way.

Improve SpeedsYou're somewhat limited when it comes to improving speeds on public Wi-Fi as you don't actually control the network, but there are some ways to maximize performance.

If there are multiple public Wi-Fi networks in your location, try switching to one lower down the list that fewer people may have connected to.

Essentially, they make it much more difficult for someone else on the same Wi-Fi network to see what you're doing.

Cancel any outdoor plans for next year because LG is dropping a flagship RGB LED TV in 2026.

The new MRGB95B TV will use an upgraded processor and a brighter panel, and it will achieve 100 percent coverage of BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB color gamuts.

RGB LEDs allow for brighter displays with more accurate color, not to be confused with micro LED displays, where each pixel is its own self-emmisive LED.

RGB LED uses clusters of red, green, and blue that illuminate multiple pixels at once.

It’s the next step in color accuracy in TV displays, following the quantum dot displays that have been popular for several years.

Tony Stoyanov is CTO and co-founder of EliseAIIn the 2010s, tech companies chased staff-level specialists: Backend engineers, data scientists, system architects. That model worked when technology evolved slowly. Specialists knew their craft, could deliver quickly and built careers on predictable foundations like cloud infrastructure or the latest JS frameworkThen AI went mainstream.The pace of change has exploded. New technologies appear and mature in less than a year. You can’t hire someone who has been building AI agents for five years, as the technology hasn’t existed for that long.

2025 was supposed to be the year of the AI agent, right? Not quite, acknowledge Google Cloud and Replit — two big players in the AI agent space and partners in the "vibe coding" movement — at a recent VB Impact Series event.Even as they build out agentic tools themselves, leaders from the two companies say the capabilities aren’t quite there yet. This constrained reality comes down to struggles with legacy workflows, fragmented data, and immature governance models. Also, enterprises fundamentally misunderstand that agents aren’t like other technologies: They require a fundamental rethink and reworking of workflows and processes. When enterprises are building agents to automate work, “most o…

Building an enterprise AI company on a "foundation of shifting sand" is the central challenge for founders today, according to the leadership at Palona AI. Today, the Palo Alto-based startup—led by former Google and Meta engineering veterans—is making a decisive vertical push into the restaurant and hospitality space with today's launch of Palona Vision and Palona Workflow. The new offerings transform the company’s multimodal agent suite into a real-time operating system for restaurant operations — spanning cameras, calls, conversations, and coordinated task execution.The news marks a strategic pivot from the company’s debut in early 2025, when it first emerged with $10 million in seed fund…

OpenAI has begun accepting submissions from third-party developers for their apps to be accessible directly in ChatGPT, and has launched a new App Directory (don't call it a "store"!) that can be opened from the ChatGPT sidebar and at the URL chatgpt.com/apps.This means the 800 million+ users of OpenAI's hit chatbot can search for, discover and begin using newly approved third-party apps immediately. Once installed, apps can be triggered during conversations by mentioning them by name (using @) or selecting them from the tools menu.The third-party app submission process officially went live last night, December 17, as OpenAI announced in a blog post and on its developer account on X, though…

With the recent release of GPT 5.2, OpenAI updated other related models, including its popular coding model Codex, bringing more agentic use cases to its fold. GPT-5.2-Codex, which OpenAI called in a blog post “the most advanced agentic coding model yet for complex, real-world software engineer,” has been optimized for long-horizon work with agents and will have stronger cybersecurity capabilities. The model is an offshoot of GPT-5.2, optimized for agentic building. “GPT‑5.2-Codex represents a step forward in how advanced AI can support real-world software engineering and specialized domains like cybersecurity—helping developers and defenders tackle complex, long-horizon work, and strengthe…

Enterprises can now harness the power of a large language model that's near that of the state-of-the-art Google’s Gemini 3 Pro, but at a fraction of the cost and with increased speed, thanks to the newly released Gemini 3 Flash.The model joins the flagship Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Deep Think, and Gemini Agent, all of which were announced and released last month.Gemini 3 Flash, now available on Gemini Enterprise, Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI, AI Studio, and on preview in Vertex AI, processes information in near real-time and helps build quick, responsive agentic applications. The company said in a blog post that Gemini 3 Flash “builds on the model series that developers and enterprises alrea…

When Derek Waldron and his technical team at JPMorgan Chase first launched an LLM suite with personal assistants two-and-a-half years ago, they weren’t sure what to expect. That wasn’t long after the game-changing emergence of ChatGPT, but in enterprise, skepticism was still high. Surprisingly, employees opted into the internal platform organically — and quickly. Within months, usage jumped from zero to 250,000 employees. Now, more than 60% of employees across sales, finance, technology, operations, and other departments use the continually evolving, continually connected suite.“We were surprised by just how viral it was,” Waldron, JPMorgan’s chief analytics officer, explains in a new VB Be…

Patronus AI, the artificial intelligence evaluation startup backed by $20 million from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners and Datadog, unveiled a new training architecture Tuesday that it says represents a fundamental shift in how AI agents learn to perform complex tasks.The technology, which the company calls "Generative Simulators," creates adaptive simulation environments that continuously generate new challenges, update rules dynamically, and evaluate an agent's performance as it learns — all in real time. The approach marks a departure from the static benchmarks that have long served as the industry standard for measuring AI capabilities but have increasingly come under fi…

Mistral AI, the French artificial intelligence company valued at €11.7 billion, unveiled its third-generation optical character recognition model on Tuesday, positioning document digitization as the critical first step enterprises must take before realizing the full potential of generative AI.The new model, called Mistral OCR 3, claims a 74% win rate against competing products when processing forms, scanned documents, complex tables, and handwritten content. Mistral priced the technology aggressively at $2 per 1,000 pages — with a 50% discount for batch processing — dramatically undercutting many established enterprise document processing solutions.The release arrives at a pivotal moment fo…

Presented by T-Mobile for BusinessSmall and mid-sized businesses are adopting AI at a pace that would have seemed unrealistic even a few years ago. Smart assistants that greet customers, predictive tools that flag inventory shortages before they happen, and on-site analytics that help staff make decisions faster — these used to be features of the enterprise. Now they’re being deployed in retail storefronts, regional medical clinics, branch offices, and remote operations hubs.What’s changed is not just the AI itself, but where it runs. Increasingly, AI workloads are being pushed out of centralized data centers and into the real world — into the places where employees work and customers inter…

For the last two years, the fundamental unit of generative AI development has been the "completion." You send a text prompt to a model, it sends text back, and the transaction ends. If you want to continue the conversation, you have to send the entire history back to the model again. This "stateless" architecture—embodied by Google's legacy generateContent endpoint—was perfect for simple chatbots. But as developers move toward autonomous agents that use tools, maintain complex states, and "think" over long horizons, that stateless model has become a distinct bottleneck.Last week, Google DeepMind finally addressed this infrastructure gap with the public beta launch of the Interactions API (/…

The enterprise AI market is currently nursing a massive hangover. For the past two years, decision-makers have been inundated with demos of autonomous agents booking flights, writing code, and analyzing data. Yet, the reality on the ground is starkly different. While experimentation is at an all-time high, deployment of reliable, autonomous agents in production remains challenging. A recent study by MIT’s Project NANDA highlighted a sobering statistic: Roughly 95% of AI projects fail to deliver bottom-line value. They hit walls when moved from the sandbox to the real world, often breaking under the weight of edge cases, hallucinations, or integration failures.According to Antonio Gulli, a s…

It's a bird, it's a plane -- actually, it's a Wing delivery drone, and it's carrying your neighbor's last-minute grocery item from the nearby Walmart.

The metro Atlanta area is the first US metropolitan area to receive service outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area, as Wing attempts to lead the ongoing drone delivery service race.

When the Wing drone is closer to the ground, it sounds like an irritated wasp nest, but certainly quieter than a lawnmower or leafblower.

If your Walmart order consists of a rotisserie chicken and a pack of Skittles, you should be all set.

ZDNET's key takeawaysChinese AI models have caught up to US models in power and performance.

Traditionally, Meta and others only offered the "weights" of their trained AI models, such as Meta's Llama family of models.

Data availability is important because it enables developers to effectively employ AI models and increases the trustworthiness of their output.

"Distillation" refers to the process of taking an existing AI model and using it to build a smaller, more efficient model.

"The existence of open-weight Chinese models at the good-enough level may thus decrease global actors' reliance on US companies providing models through APIs."

Also: I thought Bose had perfected noise canceling - then I listened to these headphonesThe latest Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra offer the industry's best noise cancellation.

Although Bose has since released the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, you shouldn't totally write off the first-generation headphones.

However, there's no option to adjust noise cancellation, and being in public with this strong of ANC isn't always ideal.

Additionally, Bose's ActiveSense feature acts as adaptive noise cancellation, employing noise-canceling t…

Verizon's holiday internet deals let you pick a free Nintendo Switch, Samsung TV, or tablet. Here's what to know.

I average around four hours of my day on my phone, checking emails, responding to texts, scrolling social media, and checking the weather.

Once I reach this point, I delete my social media apps.

Scrolling through social media between subway stops or checking messages occasionally at the office isn't my issue.

ZDNET's buying adviceI highly recommend Brick if you struggle with regularly checking your phone or wasting time on social media.

This would make a fantastic gift for anybody, whether they're a social media obsessed teen or unfocused father looking to lay off their phone.

Pebblebee Clip 5 Bluetooth finder tag ZDNET's key takeaways The Pebblebee Clip 5 is on sale on Amazon for $24.

This loop on the Pebblebee Clip 5 is surprisingly durable.

The LED strobe built into the tag is super-bright.

ZDNET's buying adviceEvery Pebblebee find tag I've tested has been great, and the Clip 5 is no exception.

While I appreciate the precision of the AirTag, it is let down by the lack of an LED strobe and a weak speaker.

Outlaw Audio's retro stereo receiver delivers high-quality sound, even though it's considerably cheaper than most professional equipment.

If you're looking for great sound without breaking the bank, the Creative Stage Pro is a budget-friendly option worth considering.

Your Samsung, LG, and even Sony TV comes with privacy risks. Here's how to avoid one of the biggest with just a few steps.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition ZDNET's key takeaways Lenovo's Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition is available now for $1,949.

It's got a gorgeous tandem OLED display, with a thin form and great performance across multiple use cases.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a high-performance Windows laptop designed for professionals and creatives who also do some gaming.

It's a fantastic laptop for work, with the large, crisp OLED display, tactile, full-sized keyboard, and generous I/O.

The model with the tandem OLED display would likely receive even less, especially if you're referring to more intensive workflows.

ZDNET's key takeawaysGemini can now tell if a video was made with Google AI.

Google has announced an expansion of its content transparency tools that includes the ability for Gemini to identify whether a video was created or edited with Google AI tools.

To test a video, upload it to Gemini and ask, "Was this generated using Google AI?"

Gemini will search both the audio and video for an invisible SynthID watermark that's present in everything Google AI creates.

To test the feature, I created videos with three different AI image generators -- Gemini, Bing, and Adobe Firefly (Gemini followed the prompt the best if you're curious).

Samsung offers everything from high-end OLED TVs to budget-friendly options, and we've tested them all to help you find the best fit for your home theater.

Most people leave their TV settings untouched, but if you have a Samsung model, a few simple adjustments can significantly improve its visual quality.

Now, here's how to use the new multitasking skills and why your iPad may feel more like a Mac than ever.

Razer Blade 14 ZDNET's key takeaways The Razer Blade 14 (2025) is on sale now starting at $2,000.

The form challenges the brand's own aesthetic with a device that looks more like a Dell XPS 14 or MacBook Pro than a gaming laptop.

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETSure, it's not the powerful loadout you can get on a gaming laptop, but that isn't really the point here.

ZDNET's buying adviceThe Razer Blade 14 is a gaming laptop, but it's not limited to that use case.

I tried with this Dell, and didn't mind itI'd recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a capable gaming laptop, but who is not interested in a massive 16- or 18-inch behemoth.

Every AI dollar will need a traceable path to productivity, quality, or customer value.

The real productivity question for 2026Most organisations still frame AI productivity in terms of speed: more story points, more tickets, higher deployment frequency.

That misses the bigger question:How much of our engineering capacity goes to net new value versus maintenance, incidents, and rework, and is AI improving that mix?

Instead:Reserve recurring time specifically for quality work: refactoring, test coverage, documentation, security improvementsKeep a visible, prioritised list of high-interest technical debt and refactor targets.

Block time for them, and support teams in using AI to go faster on …

In other words, I’ve always cared about the why behind the tech, the real impact on people’s lives, not just the buzz.

Here’s the good news: despite the deluge of AI-written text out there, readers are actively looking for authentic, human journalism.

I believe, and I suspect many of you do too, that the best tech journalism zooms out from the gadgets and code to highlight those human stories.

That’s my vision for TNW as I step into this role, and I hope it resonates with you.

Here’s to the road ahead, to storytelling, to journalism (the real kind), and to making sense of the future together.

When OpenAI announced its new shopping search capabilities, I took the news with a grain of salt (perhaps the whole shaker).

It mirrored the “keyword search” experience of Web 2.0 rather than the “intent-based” promise of GenAI.

However, there is a risk in prioritizing transactional features before the core product, reasoning and logic, is fully matured.

By introducing a shopping experience that feels closer to a “click-through” engine than a “knowledge” engine, the platform risks blurring its own identity.

A truly Generative AI shopping experience shouldn’t just list products; it should understand the user.

Tekpon has acquired 100% of the TNW media and events brands, which cover and convene the European technology ecosystem, from the FT.

It broadens the company’s reach across SaaS and AI and strengthens its role in the global innovation landscape.

TNW’s brand and editorial standards will be maintained, while its events and digital platforms will be integrated into Tekpon’s wider strategy.

This acquisition accelerates our mission to connect the global SaaS and AI ecosystem and supports Europe’s position in the next decade of innovation.

The acquisition is part of Tekpon’s long-term plan to build an international ecosystem connecting software, media, events, advisory, and innovation.

He told me it was refreshing to speak to an entrepreneur who was not blinded by his own pitch.

When we raised money for another startup a few years later, almost all of them signed up in our first round.

However, when the business struggled, I also felt very comfortable with the company ending graciously.

When you’re reading a good book, there’s a moment near the end when you’ll start reading slower because you don’t want it to end.

So, this is the ending of a great story that I’ve enjoyed participating in.

Unfortunately, the majority of discarded used technology, known as e-waste, is dumped or processed in unsafe conditions.

A Danish robotic solutionAt the Danish Technological Institute, researchers are building an AI-driven robotic system that could help tackle e-waste while scaling, modernising, and empowering the tech refurbishment industry.

However, companies are slowly waking up to the potential of e-waste robotic recycling.

Ultimately, they want to build a ready-for-production robotic system that supports local Danish tech refurbishment businesses.

His optimism makes sense: robotics is set to reshape the future of e-waste management and reuse.

This week, Dainius Kavoliūnas, head of no-code platform Hostinger Horizons, shares his tips on vibe coding.

Vibe coding has become an indispensable tool, especially for entrepreneurial thinkers building apps and platforms for solving everyday problems, streamlining business processes, or enhancing digital experiences.

Vibe coding is fast, intuitive and opens up a new realm of possibilities where code isn’t just functional, but expressive — bridging the gap between people’s ideas and machine abilities.

Based on insights from the Hostinger Horizons team and users, here are five practical ways to prompt AI more effectively.

For people like Prashant, vibe coding is breaking down barriers, enabl…

There are also genuine competitive advantages available to European green battery startups: proximity to end users, a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, and the ability to move quickly on specialised applications.

These are our tips for developing a scalable green battery business.

Data centres represent another market where European companies may have an advantage.

The goal isn’t to replace Asian suppliers entirely, but to build resilient companies that can work alongside Asian giants, rather than compete directly on their terms.

Market projections suggest European companies could capture 25-30% of the specialised industrial battery market by 2030 through technological differen…

From commercial devices and services to government systems and research projects, open source powers the internet and countless platforms we rely on daily.

Despite this importance, the budget proposal does not include specific funding for open source.

The 💜 of EU tech The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art.

By contrast, Europe’s open source approach offers a pluralistic and collaborative alternative that emphasises transparency, interoperability, and public value, and investing in the global open source ecosystem it depends on is in line with these values.

Creating an EU Sovereign Tech Fund, alongside other earmarke…

Europe’s AI startups are losing ground to the US — and their own investors are to blame.

Only 5% of global venture capital is raised in the EU, according to the European Commission.

Even when funding is available, Europe’s venture capital firms are slow and cautious.

However, American funds backing European startups operate under the same regulatory frameworks, yet their capital keeps flowing freely.

European venture deals often crawl at a bureaucrat’s pace.

Investors, eager to avoid missing out on the next big thing, were quick to back almost any startup that mentioned AI in their pitch deck.

As the CEO of Gradient Labs — an AI customer service platform for highly-regulated industries — I’ve seen investors grow wary of AI-washing: the practice of exaggerating a company’s AI use or capabilities.

Gartner predicts 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027, while MIT research shows 95% of pilot projects fail.

For my co-founders and me, it was never about building an AI startup just because it was lucrative.

As a result, we didn’t need to rely on flashy marketing spiel or inflated promises to get the attention of VCs.

Ukrainian defence tech is tested directly on the battlefield, under the most challenging conditions.

The need to counter large-scale Russian aggression has sparked a technological boom in the defence tech sphere.

Over 30 countries have already expressed interest in Ukrainian defence innovations, signalling strong export potential for homegrown technologies.

The sector’s profit margin is 25%, the highest globally — compared with 17% in NATO countries and 15% in the EU — underscoring the economic attractiveness of Ukrainian defence tech.

Ukraine’s rapid rise as a global defence tech powerhouse is not happening in isolation.

This week, global traction strategist Nina Aziz Justin — founder of The Resilience Mentor — shares her approach to building resilience.

While execution metrics are essential for traction and scale, resilience isn’t just a soft skill.

Most compelling of all is the 2024 Founder Resilience Research Report.

It reminds us that resilience isn’t just a feel-good factor — it’s a proven, practical lever for startup success.

A more balanced lens: metrics + resilience = real tractionWe’re seeing a shift — a new generation of investors and advisors are beginning to assess both execution metrics and human metrics.

Left unchecked, Europe’s narrow focus on AI investment will come at the health of half its population.

But the surge in AI funding coinciding with a plunge in femtech investment highlights serious issues with capital allocation.

This is far from an anti-AI argument — plenty of us femtech companies are building genuinely useful AI applications for women’s health.

The goal isn’t to slow AI investment, but to ensure femtech gets its fair share of capital allocation.

Femtech isn’t another bubble waiting to burst — women’s health needs don’t disappear when VCs jump aboard the next hype train.

In this edition, Lucas Spreiter, founder of German startup Venta AI, shares his vision of AI employees.

Artificial intelligence is about to enable the most dramatic shift of the century: the transition from human labour to AI labour.

The companies that succeed in creating, training, and scaling AI employees here will define the next wave of economic leadership.

A first battlefield for AI employees: Sales automationIf there’s one field where AI employees are already proving their worth, it’s sales automation.

Instead of chasing a global market, our team in Germany is designing AI sales employees tailored to European specifics, respecting cultural norms, legal boundaries, and data protection …

I have tested dozens of MagSafe battery packs over the years, including slim ones, chunky ones, low-capacity chargers, and full-on power bricks that aim to replace everything at once.

But the Kuxiu S3 10,000mAh battery pack strikes a great balance of simplicity, multifunctionality, and, most importantly, reliability.

Here is what you should know about their brand-new solid-state battery pack.

Now that we are aware of what solid-state batteries provide, let’s talk about this new MagSafe battery pack.

If you are looking for a new MagSafe battery pack to take with you on the go, I think the Kuxiu S3 is worth considering.

This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world.

AnywAIr, which is a play on the word “anywhere”, is a nifty little iOS app that lets you play with AI models – regardless of if you have an internet connection.

It offers custom themes, a plethora of tools and games, and all of the local AI models you could want to mess with.

Top featuresPeople often talk about the power of Apple silicon when it comes to local AI models, and AnywAIr gives you a glimpse of what’s possible with your iPhone.

First and foremost, the app supports both MLX and Llama models.

That’s because there are companies known as data brokers whose business is to buy personal data from websites, app developers, and other sources in order to offer it for resale.

In the best of cases, your personal data is purchased by companies wanting to target you with ads.

You can carry out your own Google search to find out what personal data is available, or you can even ask ChatGPT.

While it is possible to issue your own takedown requests to data brokers, that’s far easier said than done.

The service scrubs your personal data from the web, confronting hundreds of the world’s data brokers on your behalf – not just once, but repeatedly.

That’s what the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is for.

As demonstrated by the success of AirTags, the Find My network works really well and the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is just as effective.

However, the integrated speaker in the Wallet Finder more than suffices for the job of finding your lost wallet.

ConclusionIf used for its intended purpose, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is a very effective and great value for money.

Perhaps the only drawback to be aware of is that the Wallet Finder card has no means of replacing the battery.

Apple has decided to cancel “The Last Frontier” after one season.

No Season 2 for ‘The Last Frontier’Despite Apple’s efforts to promote The Last Frontier and what had looked like a good start, Apple has decided to cancel the show after just one season, as reported by Variety.

The Jason Clarke-led series premiered last October to an overall positive reception, but it apparently failed to maintain its initial momentum as it progressed towards its season finale on December 5th.

Apple greenlit The Last Frontier in February 2023 with a straight-to-series order, which means it committed to producing the entire season without first filming a pilot episode.

Beats’ new campaign, “Dare to Dream,” recreates Travis Scott’s childhood bedroom and the moment he manifested his path to becoming a global superstar.

In the ad, which takes place on March 5, 2011, a young Beats Studio-wearing Scott falls asleep after an intense creative session on his iMac.

That’s when he picks up his iPhone 4, and tweets out his now-famous post, saying, “ONE DAY TRAVIS SCOTT WILL BE SOMEBODY“.

The ad ends with a confused Scott pulling a Powerbeats Fit case out of his jacket pocket, placing the Powerbeats Fit earbuds firmly in his ears, and walking away.

If you’re running iOS 26.2 and had been thinking about downgrading, you missed your chance.

Downgrading to iOS 26.1 now impossibleAs spotted by MacRumors, Apple no longer signs iOS 26.1, which means that it is now impossible to downgrade from iOS 26.2.

Apple usually stops signing older iOS versions once newer releases are deemed stable enough, and especially when they address serious security flaws present in earlier builds.

By preventing downgrades, Apple is effectively preventing users from going back to an increasingly more vulnerable system version.

To learn more about what else is new on iOS 26.2, follow this link.

If you rely heavily on ChatGPT’s Voice feature on the Mac app, be warned: the feature is going away early next year.

Likely temporary decisionIn a recent update to ChatGPT’s Mac app, OpenAI included the following message in the release notes:Voice on macOS desktop app is retiring (effective January 15, 2026) We’re retiring the Voice experience in the ChatGPT macOS app on January 15, 2026.

This change allows us to focus on more unified and improved voice experiences across our apps.

Either way, be warned that for now, ChatGPT’s Voice mode will only work until January 15.

After that, you’ll need to use its web or iOS/iPadOS version if you still want to talk out loud with ChatGPT.

All 16 videos and supporting material from the Spring 2025 version of Stanford’s CS193p (Developing Applications for iOS using SwiftUI) course are now online, for free.

Over the past few weeks, Stanford has been gradually posting lecture videos and supporting materials for the Spring 2025 version of CS193p.

One important caveat is that the course was recorded before the release of iOS 26 and Xcode 26.

As Stanford University explains:The course happened before iOS 26 and Xcode 26 were released, but the code written during the course seems to be mostly compatible.

The big change in Xcode 26, of course, is built-in LLM assistance, and iOS 26 introduced Liquid Glass in the UI, so of course ther…
