Компании уже работают над второй версией, но в Meta* пока называют это «внутренними экспериментами».

Оставшиеся 10% приходятся на менее ликвидные токены — чтобы собрать их в нужном количестве, компании нужно больше времени.

Часть первых покупателей новинки от Apple жаловалась, что внутренний экран смартфона треснул в первые несколько часов использования.

Они планировали начать блокировать такие вызовы с 15 октября 2026 года.

Компания зарезервировала более $6,34 млрд.

По словам источника, проблема была связана с инструментом для мониторинга производительности сайтов DebugBear.

Теперь он должен рассмотреть апелляцию и вынести решение.

Платформа назвала это своей «эволюцией».

И это нормально.

Stack Overflow каждый год спрашивает разработчиков, счастливы ли они на работе, и в 2025 “да” сказали только 24,5%.

Вспомните таску, которую вы сделали во вторник, а в джире она висела до пятницы.

Обычную работу будут оплачивать как обычную работуТо есть люди, которые бежали в айти, чтобы не просить прибавку, не ездить в офис и не отпрашиваться пожить в другой стране, придут ровно туда, откуда бежали, только в вакансии будет написано Senior Developer.

Как и в прошлом году, нормальных ответов ни у кого нет, поэтому мы своей тг тусовочкой снова собрали конфу.

Если взглянуть на первые релизы фильмов на DVD, то мы увидим, что нередко в них было интерактивное меню, которое преподносилось как одно из главных достоинств.

DVD поддерживает и другие разрешения, но они уступают по качеству и в целом не являются удачной альтернативой, поэтому использовались редко.

В DVD Virtual Machine (DVD VM) есть шестнадцать регистров общих параметров (General Parameter Registers, GPRM).

Главное меню DVD «Шоу ужасов Рокки Хоррора»Следующий памятный пример — это DVD‑диск «Мир Уэйна».

Кстати, кому интересно — на сайте dvdmoviemenus.com есть много интересных меню DVD.

Протокол AmneziaWG на 80% состоит из обычного Wireguard, и на 20% состоит из своих дополнений, поэтому берем родной микротиковский Wireguard (который очень эффективно работает с криптографией на отдельном чипе), а остальное реализовываем програмно.

Так получился очень маленький и быстрый контейнер, обеспечивающий почти 300 мбит на устройствах типа Mikrotik Hap Ax3, и 200 мбит на Mikrotik Hap Ax2.

Сначала подумал, что так github душит всё что ему кажется подозрительным, отправил апелляцию, но она рассматривается очень долго.

Чтобы было легче добавлять будущих клиентов — в разделе mikrotik: container → envs сохраняется ссылка на конфигуратор с параметрами вашего конфига амнезии.

Если у вас по…

Они в идеале знают синтаксис и кейсы применения всех cli‑утилит и на уровне исходного кода понимают как работает ядро Linux.

Раньше один админ, с которым так боялись пообщаться обычные пользователи, мог и картриджи в принтерах заменять, и серверные с железом обслуживать, и помогать разработке с нагрузочными тестами и деплоем, и много чего еще.

Возвращаться к работе руками мне не страшно, но я осознал, что не хочу этого.

Инженерия всегда была моим хобби и я его не брошу, но повседневную работу я больше не хочу выполнять по‑старому.

Я не питаю иллюзий и отлично понимаю, что качество таких поделок не всегда высокое и это еще мягко говоря.

Свободный денежный поток стал отрицательным — минус 9,1 млрд долларов: за квартал на ИИ‑инфраструктуру потратили около 50 млрд.

Акции упали на 12,6%, Alphabet потеряла почти 500 млрд долларов капитализации.

Аналитик Георг Штилер оценивает, что до 70% гуманоидов, выпущенных в Китае в 2026 году, отправятся в центры сбора данных, где роботы будут учиться.

Amazon подняла план капитальных расходов с 200 до 220 млрд долларов в основном из‑за подорожавшей памяти.

Летом Энди Джасси признал, что мощности Amazon закончатся уже в этом году и в следующем их тоже не хватит.

Эти люди имели прекрасное образование, могли преподавать в ведущих университетах Европы, и многие из них внесли весомый вклад и в научно‑технический прогресс в современном понимании.

Как и в античном и не только наследии, которое доставалось интеллектуалам Европы через посредство отвоёвывавшейся крестоносцами Испании на арабском и еврейских языках.

И в рамках всей этой работы и стали появляться специальные магические алфавиты.

По сути это был прототип графического интерфейса, а сам Сазерленд стал одним из основателей области взаимодействия человека и компьютера и в 1988 году получил премию Тьюринга.

Сегодня те же Исполнители живут в среде КуМир, которую разработали в НИИСИ РАН, и на ней учат в школах.

ДРАКОН жив до сих пор, хотя и в нишевых профессиональных направлениях.

Похоже, многое зависит от вида задачи: изолированная задача в эксперименте и живой проект с историей и контекстом показывают разные результаты.

Дизайнер рисует интерфейс в Figma, геймдизайнер собирает уровень в Unreal Blueprints, и это обычное разделение труда.

Именно эта архитектурная особенность MoE моделей и позволила в конечном счете запускать большие модели на потребительском железе.

Прелесть этого подхода еще и в том, что ставшие уже стандартными оптимизации вроде MTP (Multi‑Token Prediction) и предсказания/подгрузки экспертов следующего слоя параллельно с обсчетом внимания текущего здесь тоже вовсю работают.

Я не буду подробно останавливаться на установке (в одну команду) и настройке (пошаговым мастером настройки стрелками и кнопкой ввода).

Наиболее качественные кванты этих моделей на текущий момент предлагает лаборатория распределенных алгоритмов и систем при Австрийском институте науки и технологий.

Нужную сессию выбирают по номеру или имени: «Импортируй первую сессию» или baton import 1 .

Утилита сохранит её в ~/.config/baton/saved/ и сразу загрузит в текущего агента, так что отдельный baton load не нужен.

Упаковщик вкомпилирован прямо в бинарник baton и работает на Linux, macOS и Windows без внешних архиваторов.

А зашифрованная переброска позволяет закрыть домашний ПК и продолжить ту же сессию на другом ПК без промежуточных коммитов.

Устройство контура и зависимостиБлагодаря проведенному аудиту и последующей работе на проекте мы знали состав критичного контура, основные зависимости и объемы данных.

Поэтому во время аварии мы не гадали, «взлетят» ли бэкапы.

Это время ушло и на ожидание решения заказчика (пока он определялся, стоит ли мигрировать, или лучше дождаться восстановления исходного ЦОДа), и на сами технические работы, и на ожидание ресурсов и перенос данных.

Система становится жизнеспособной, когда стороны договариваются, какой риск нужно закрыть, какое время восстановления требуется и сколько они готовы за это платить.

Стеклодувное дело — прибежище пироманов-эстетов, а речь прежде всего о работе в пламени горелок, и последние здесь — главный инструмент, предмет гордости мастера, и этакий огненный фетиш.

CORDIC получил популярность, в том числе и в научных калькуляторах, где вместо двоичного применялся десятичный CORDIC.

Но главное в CORDIC заключается в использовании специальных углов α n = arctan(2‑n).

Смысл в том, что в те времена деление выполнялось медленно, и отказ от него в некоторых случаях допускал возможности оптимизаций.

Процессор 8087 необычен тем, что в нём сочетаются CORDIC и рациональный многочлен.

Я работал над этим с участниками Opcode Collective и, в частности, с Smartest Blob и Gloriouscow, которые преобразовали образы ROM в данные микрокода и подробно проанализировали содержимое.

И вот ИИши пошарудели по всем закромам, включая учебные репозитории студентов на гитхабе, и приготовили два отчета.

При этом они меня правильно поняли и не стали засчитывать скажем процессорные темы тем университетам, которые только показывают процессоры на слайдиках.

И потом запускает это в RTL симуляторе (именно RTL, а не симулятор на уровне инструкций) или на FPGA плате.

Они не проверяли проект по транзакционной модели, не писали стимулы с ограниченной рандомизацией и не измеряли функциональное покрытие на SystemVerilog.

У некоторых университетов нет доступа к Synopsys Fusion Compiler или Cadence Genus и Innovus и нет опыта работы с открытыми маршрутами вроде OpenROAD и LibreLane.

Например, лопатя инструкцию и гоняя тесты увидел, что в одной игре программа из инструкции сделана с ошибкой.

Там автор разобрался в логике машины и собрал на ней НЕ, И-НЕ, исключающее ИЛИ, сумматор и даже RS-триггер из двух машин.

При «Да, Нет, Да» должна загораться Y, а не горит ничего.

При «Нет, Нет, Нет» машина обещает, что, «вероятно», сойдутся и остальные, хотя сойдутся только птицы.

Видна и асимметрия: зеркальный случай «Нет, Да, Да» программа обрабатывает верно, а «Да, Нет, Да» вообще забыт.

Полный цикл «мутации» идеи и поисков в процессе вы можете увидеть в конце этой статьи, в виде списка статей.

Я не утверждаю, что всё обстоит в основе своей именно так, однако как это объяснить по-другому, я не знаю!

В теории можно, наверное, и в 0,2 мм (у меня даже получились, но потом их снесло) — только надо соответствующим образом отрегулировать процесс обработки (т.е.

Впрочем, суть всего теста была вовсе не в этом, а в механической обработке — и именно с ней всё более чем замечательно!

Вот тебе и брульянт... :-)Ну и, в целом — технология вполне имеет место быть, как минимум, для высокоскоростного прототипирования.

Это даже не обзор, а просто моё мужское спасибо Константину Чайкину и команде за всякие интересные аксессуары в это непростое время.

Можно ещё вспомнить часы «Время России», но я тут ничего особо сказать не могу, ибо не разбираюсь и не застал.

Осенью 2026-го были представлены часы «Путник Спорт», мы про них поговорим подробней, но, как я понимаю, сейчас уже «Путник» — это «Путник», а Чайкин — это Чайкин.

Но вот есть у меня Breitling Endurance, и это как раз спортивные часы в понимании Breitling, они умеют измерять пульс, но заточены под активный образ жизни.

Но не все фантазии людей безобидны, и не все компании хотят, чтобы вы ковыряли или меняли их игры.

Журналист Джейсон Шрайер раскопал, что причиной отказа от Mass Effect и Bioware в целом, стали Звёздные войны, а именно — Star Wars Battlefront III.

На стороне Звёздных войн сейчас две достаточно успешные игры: Star Wars: Zero Company и Star Wars: Galactic Racer.

Во-первых, в самой студии уже давно нет ключевых сотрудников и руководителей, которые строили ту самую вселенную Mass Effect.

Да, подробности о Mass Effect: Universe уже после закрытия и утёкший трейлер выглядят интересными, вот только рынок изменился и игроки тоже.

Пользователь Reddit с ником SakuraRM соорудил кастомную панель с 7-дюймовым FullHD-монитором и стереодинамиками, чтобы игровой кубик можно было брать с собой в дорогу.

Ничего сверлить и разбирать для модификации не потребовалось: передняя панель консоли держится на магнитах и отстёгивается на раз-два.

Чёрный пластиковый корпус Steam Machine из общей ретроэстетики выбивался, так что было принято решение обклеить его виниловыми стикерами для пущей маскировки.

Все кнопочки и крутилки на экране сделаны вручную и практического эффекта не имеют.

Если карту памяти в консоль можно зарядить заранее, то с двумя USB-разъёмами на время использования экрана придётся попрощаться.

Главный продавец искусственного интеллекта пожаловался в эфире подкаста Cheeky Pint, что мировые запасы оперативной памяти распределены слишком неэффективно.

По его мнению, дата-центры загружены 24/7 и постоянно отрабатывают запросы миллионов пользователей, в то время как локальные вычислительные мощности пользователей загружены в лучшем случае на 5 % и большую часть времени попросту простаивают.

В условиях тяжелейшего кризиса памяти это «довольно ужасно», — считает Альтман.

А кто этот кризис памяти запустил, закупив 40 % мировых запасов DRAM в 2025 году, предприниматель решил не уточнять.

Народ, признавайтесь: вы сегодня свой компьютер использовали хотя бы на 5 % или, как обычно, только на…

Гонконгский стартап Arrowmax представил умную отвёртку Arrowspace S1 с камерой: с её помощью отвёртка может сама выбрать нужную биту из набора, чтобы открутить винт на вашей клавиатуре или корпусе ПК.

Определив тип и размер шлицы, ИИ-отвёртка зажигает LED-индикатор возле нужной биты в наборе, а затем сама выбирает оптимальную скоростью вращения, чтобы неопытный мастер случайно не испортил головку винта.

Питает всё это добро аккумулятор ёмкостью 600 мА·ч, его должно хватить на 90 минут автономной работы.

За комплект умной отвёртки с битами на «Кикстартере» просят $130, или примерно 10 500 рублей по текущему курсу.

Но, если отвёртка сломается, приобрести её отдельно можно будет за $80, или пр…

Исследователь безопасности Марк Блащик ещё в мае обнаружил эксплойт, который может окирпичить смартфон за 20 SMS.

Если отправить определённое сообщение, то Android не сможет его обработать, но будет очень сильно пытаться.

Если прислать пару десятков таких сообщений, то систему можно отправить в цикл вечной перезагрузки.

При этом смертельное сообщение даже во входящих отображаться не будет!

Идеальное преступление……было бы, если бы ещё 15 июня Google тихо не исправила уязвимость в коде системы.

Попробуем же разобраться, на что обратить внимание, приобретая устройство с рук, и какие подводные ждут на этом тернистом пути.

Пока ждёте, уточните менялся ли аккумулятор, и если да, то как давно.

Если устройство поддерживает только eSIM, заранее уточните на сайте своего оператора, поддерживает ли он eSIM на этой модели и сможете ли вы перенести на неё свой номер.

А если вы из России, но проверяете смартфон не в России, то не используйте российскую eSIM: она просто не активируется за пределами нашей страны.

Если после этого при первоначальной настройке смартфон не запросил чужой Apple ID и устройство не перешло в режим пропажи, то всё в порядке.

Android 17 доступен уже четыре месяца, но его установил только 1 % владельцев андроидов.

Значительная часть (25,4 %) пользуется Android 16, в прошлом январе занимавшей долю в 7,5 % от всех устройств.

Тут ещё сказывается, что крупные производители вроде Samsung, OPPO и HONOR только начали распространять семнадцатую версию, а большинство пользователей сидит на достаточно старых устройствах, которые обновлений не получат.

Примерно 30 % занимают трубки под управлением Android 13 и 14, чьи владельцы и в ус не дуют.

А какая версия андроида в вашем смартфоне и почему это iOS?

Супертонкая новинка сохранит прежние габариты, но получит аккумулятор увеличенной ёмкости, а также обзаведётся вторым модулем камеры со сверхширокоугольным объективом, — напомнил инсайдер Digital Chat Station на Weibo.

Спереди ждём знакомый 6,55-дюймовый дисплей с уменьшенным динамическим островком, а внутри — чип A20 без приставки Pro, прям как в базовом iPhone 18.

Обе камеры получат матрицу на 48 Мп, так что снимки телефон будет делать вполне на уровне iPhone Duo.

Как ожидается, Apple покажет Air второго поколения весной, вместе с iPhone 18e и базовым iPhone 18, про который в этом году подозрительно мало говорят.

Настолько мало, что в интернете родился безумный слух, будто iPhone Air заме…

Известная площадка с контентом для взрослых заходит на границу YouTube. В соцсетях Pornhub появился пост, который предлагает создателям обучающих роликов, контента о жизни и других видео присоединиться к платформе. Но что может сподвигнуть перевести свою аудиторию туда? Например, просмотры. Отсутствие цензуры, а также почти 130 млн пользователей ежедневно — это сильный аргумент в пользу чёрно-оранжевого […]

Новая часть серии будет называться The Elders Scrolls VI: Sentinel, — заявил старший корреспондент The Verge Том Уоррен.

Основную сюжетную линию игры целиком посвятят истории появления самих Древних Свитков, а события игры развернутся в провинции Хаммерфелл — родине редгардов.

По данным Уоррена, Bethesda раскроет официальное название игры уже в ноябре, накануне юбилея TES V: Skyrim.

Покажут ли при этом геймплей игры — вопрос открытый.

Джейсон Шрайбер из Bloomberg считает, что новые «Свитки» выйдут не раньше 2028 года, так что Bethesda вполне может ограничиться лишь коротким тизером.

Розничная цена в США Конверсия по курсу ЦБ MacBook Pro на M5 Pro (14″) от $2400 от 195 000 руб.

MacBook Pro с PROLED XDR (14″) от $2900 от 235 000 руб.

MacBook Pro на M5 Max (14″) от $3000 от 244 000 руб.

Прямо сейчас отрыв между MacBook Pro с miniLED и MacBook Pro с PROLED слишком уж крохотный, но это может поменяться уже следующей весной.

Это позволит Apple разделить линейку MacBook на четыре основных уровня: MacBook Neo → MacBook Air → MacBook Pro → MacBook Pro с PROLED XDR, каждый из которых займёт свою нишу по цене и производительности.

Ещё в ноябре прошлого года производители памяти прогнозировали, что кризис продлится минимум до 2027 года.

В августе срок сместился до 2029-го.

Поэтому постепенно дорожают и становятся малодоступными не только оперативная память, но и жёсткие диски, видеокарты и даже печатные платы.

А печатные платы используются в серверах и компьютерах, а также в любой электронике — от бытовых приборов до медтехники.

Подорожают не только смартфоны и компьютеры, но и вообще всё.

По данным блокчейн-аналитиков, сумма похищенных средств уже превышает $5,9 млрд.

Ещё $3 млрд Binance успела заморозить до того, как злоумышленникам удалось завершить транзакцию.

Похищенные деньги выводились сразу несколькими путями: через Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Ripple и другие альткоины.

Масштаб самой крупной криптовалютной кражи в истории ещё уточняется.

На фоне исторической кражи курс Bitcoin упал до своего месячного минимума, снизившись до $76 470, а Ethereum — до $2185.

Американский ИИ-стартап Anthropic, разработчик Claude, стал крупнейшим клиентом SpaceX: на неё пришлось 34,5% выручки космической компании в III квартале 2026 года, выяснил Bloomberg.

Anthropic согласилась потратить на вычислительные мощности компании Илона Маска до $120,5 млрд по контрактам, действующим до 2029 года.

Согласно раскрытой информации, Anthropic согласилась потратить на аренду дата-центров Илона Маска до $120,5 млрд в рамках контрактов, действующих до 2029 года.

Это также укрепило планы Илона Маска довести годовую выручку компании до $100 млрд к концу 2026 года.

Илон Маск также прогнозировал, что доля NASA, которое ранее было одним из крупнейших партнёров SpaceX, составит менее…

Китайский кроссовер Exeed RX возглавил рейтинг новых бензиновых автомобилей с самым большим запасом хода в России, сообщают «Известия» со ссылкой на исследование «Авито Авто».

Всего эксперты рассмотрели 20 моделей, среди которых в том числе оказались четыре Lada, а также машины других российских и зарубежных марок.

Второе место заняла Lada Vesta с 1,6-литровым двигателем на 106 л. с. и механической коробкой передач.

При баке на 55 л и расходе 5,62 л на 100 км авто проезжает до 979 км.

Исходные тексты проекта распространяются под лицензией AGPLv3. Для загрузки предлагается системный образ, размером 40 МБ, который можно использовать на ПК, смартфоне PinePhone и ноутбуке MNT Reform. Поддерживается работа на системах с процессорами и графической подсистемой Intel с включёнными расширениями VT-d и VT-x, а также на системах ARM с расширениями VMM.

Представлен выпуск специализированного браузера Tor Browser 16.0, в котором осуществлён переход на ESR-ветку Firefox 153.

Сборки Tor Browser подготовлены для Linux, Android, Windows и macOS.

Для дополнительной защиты в Tor Browser включена настройка "HTTPS Only", позволяющая использовать шифрование трафика на всех сайтах, где это возможно.

Для единообразия с Firefox переделаны специфичные для Tor разделы с настройками подключения и уровня безопасности.

При её включении в заголовке всегда будет показываться только строка "Tor Browser".

Проект AlpineBSD развивает операционную систему, в которой поверх ядра NetBSD выполняется пользовательское окружение на основе наработок дистрибутива Alpine Linux. Помимо ядра из NetBSD в AlpineBSD задействована стандартная Си-библиотека libc и набор низкоуровневых утилит, таких как mount. Базовый набор утилит сформирован на основе инструментария BusyBox, а пакеты с приложениями по возможности используются из Alpine Linux. Для управления пакетами задействован пакетный менеджер apk, а в качестве системы инициализации используется s6, но в планах упоминается предоставление поддержки OpenRC в качестве альтернативы.

Зафиксирована компрометация официального дополнения Claude Code для VS Code, поставляемого компанией Anthropic и насчитывающего 63 млн загрузок.

Атакующим удалось разместить в каталоге Open-VSX релиз [email protected], содержащий вредоносный код для удалённого доступа к системе пользователя.

После этого осуществлялась проверка наличия фонового процесса sshd в Linux и macOS, и активация SSH-сервера в случае его отсутствия.

Компания Anthropic раскрыла информацию о критической уязвимости (CVE-2026-98432) в TCP-стеке ядра Linux, допускающей удалённое выполнение кода через отправку специально оформленных пакетов.

Заявлено о создании рабочего эксплоита, позволяющего выполнить код на уровне ядра и удалённо получить права root в системе.

Так как уязвимость присутствует непосредственно в стеке IPv4 и не специфична для MPTCP, не исключается создание эксплоитов, работающих без привязки к MPTCP, но подобные эксплоиты пока не продемонстрированы.

Проблема проявляется начиная с ядра Linux 4.4 и устранена в выпусках 5.10.272, 5.15.223, 6.1.190, 6.6.159, 6.12.113, 6.18.56, 7.2.10 и 7.3.

Представлен релиз языка системного программирования Nim 2.4.0.

Nim – статически типизированный компилируемый язык программирования с синтаксисом, вдохновлённым Python, и возможностями метапрограммирования на уровне Lisp.

Ускорение наблюдается не только при повторных пересборках, но и при первой сборке за счёт распараллеливания.

Например, сборка компилятора Nim на машине с 16 физическими ядрами при использовании опции "--ic:on" сократилась с 31 до 25 секунд.

Для ациклических данных применяется атомарный подсчёт ссылок, а для циклических - барьер записи (write barrier), который активируется только при присваивании указателей.

In the previous quarter, labor share was at 53.6%.

This decade, the labor share average was about 55.6%.

Robertson attributes weakening labor share averages to the rise in automation, which he noted is displacing workers, with productivity—a metric essentially measuring worker output—continuing to rise.

A new Science study on Manx shearwaters, seabirds that can fly hundreds of kilometers a day over the North Atlantic, shows they jet-lag themselves during their excursions.

And because these birds navigate by the Sun, that jet lag leaves a measurable mark—it skews their compass.

Clockwork compassPatrick Lewin is a behavioral and sensory ecologist at the University of Oxford and lead author of the study.

“Manx shearwaters are medium-sized birds, about the same size as a pigeon,” Lewin said.

But the clock in Manx shearwaters is not perfect.

The agency was on the fence about whether to approve the treatment, and it wanted an independent advisory committee to weigh in.

But according to the FDA, it was hard to interpret the results because the study’s design had been less than optimal.

Some advisory committee members expressed a similar view.

The advisory committee ultimately voted narrowly to recommend approval, and the FDA followed that advice, greenlighting the drug on October 7, 2021.

This financial windfall has unfolded despite a long-roiling investor lawsuit—one that incidentally uncovered what the FDA today believes is evidence that ChemoCentryx employees manipulated the data in the pivotal trial submitted to the agency.

The Hubble Space Telescope still shines in the eyes of astronomers after 36 years in orbit, but it is not as nimble as it once was.

NASA last raised the orbit of Hubble in 2002, when the Space Shuttle Columbia visited the observatory for a servicing mission.

An official extension for Anthropic’s Claude model was backdoored and threatened as many as 5,000 developers’ machines, multiple sources reported Friday.

The compromised package was a VS Code extension available in the marketplace of Cursor, a maker of AI-assisted developer tools, the company said Friday.

The malicious version, 2.1.313, subsequently affected “at most 5,000 users,” presumably when they either downloaded it or their systems automatically fetched and installed it.

On August 9, 2026, Dartmouth College provost Santiago Schnell wrote a Washington Post op-ed called “Universities are fighting AI cheating.

This is quite a bit different from asking Claude to write your entire paper for you, and Schnell has long insisted that he used AI as an editorial aid and discussion partner.

As AI tools and agents have continued their march across all aspects of digital life, many companies are trying to use LLMs to improve the experience of purchasing goods and services on the Internet.

Thus far, though, a vanishingly small number of people seem to be taking advantage of those capabilities, at least when it comes to using the popular food delivery app DoorDash with an outside AI agent.

To be fair to the AI boosters, DoorDash only rolled out its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector less than a month ago.

The connector provides a standardized, open-standard way for third-party AI tools to easily order through DoorDash’s platform.

The three main classes of Martian meteorites—shergottites, nakhlites, and chassignites—are all 2.4 billion years old or younger.

Until now, only two genuinely ancient Martian meteorites were known: Allan Hills 84001, found in Antarctica, and a jumbled rock from northwest Africa nicknamed Black Beauty.

“It’s very old and similar to some of the oldest rocks on Earth,” Liu says.

“If the impact hits into loose powder, it may not get cemented to become a rock and fly off Mars’ gravity,” Liu said.

In an announcement released Thursday, Fujifilm said it will invest roughly 10 billion yen (about $63 million) to increase its production capacity fivefold for an unlikely beneficiary of the AI era: magnetic tape.

A new report from the analytics firm Quilty Space confirms that, outside of China, the world faces a significant shortage of rockets over the next five years.

The firm estimates that between now and 2030, there will be a shortfall of about 150 launches compared to demand from satellite operators and civil space agencies.

“What we wanted to get at is to understand how severe this launch crisis is and when will it be resolved,” said Caleb Henry, director of research at Quilty Space.

At a time when the supply of commercial rockets is contracting, demand for satellite launch is soaring, from megaconstellation operators such as Amazon to a flurry of small satellite startups.

General Motors marketed its Smart Driver system as a way for parents to monitor teen drivers or for adults to track their driving behavior.

But in 2024, it emerged that GM had been sharing that data with brokers.

Last year, GM and its OnStar subsidiary entered into a settlement with the FTC, prohibiting them from sharing some kinds of driver data with third parties.

That agreement banned the two companies from sharing geolocation data or driver behavior data for five years.

At the time, GM also discontinued Smart Driver across its entire range.

Not being able to update to the latest version of tvOS doesn't make your Apple TV an expensive brick.

Netflix still supports the Apple TV HD and first-generation Apple TV 4K, even though neither is eligible for tvOS 27.

A better way to think about your Apple TV is to consider its performance, not its age.

Security is also a factor, especially if your Apple TV is used as a smart home hub and no longer gets patched.

Apple's latest Siri Remote is compatible with all Apple TV 4K models and even the 2015 Apple TV HD, and a replacement costs $59.

The clearest difference is how Gemini is accessed, and it still gives Android Auto an edge in two areas.

First, Gemini is easier to invoke on Android Auto.

Late in my testing, a Gemini button also appeared in Google Maps on CarPlay, and it handled conversational searches and follow-ups once I tapped it.

At the time of testing, Google's own help page still said Gemini wasn't available for CarPlay.

Second, route changes felt quicker on Android Auto.

To add new apps, first pull up the TV's home screen.

If you search for something that doesn't show up, it may not be available in your region or might not be supported by Samsung smart TVs at all — Samsung has even publicly banned some smart TV apps.

Otherwise, you can just select the app's icon with your remote to install it.

If you've already navigated away and want to pin an app later, you can still find everything you have in the apps menu on the home screen.

You can also rearrange apps once they're on the home screen to sort them in whatever order works best for you.

Using an Android Work Profile isn't the same as signing in to a second Gmail account.

Microsoft says Teams supports audio calls and meetings through Android Auto, but the integration doesn't work if the app is installed inside a managed Work Profile.

An active Work Profile call can appear on the dashboard, but upcoming meetings and call history from that profile won't show up.

You might have hidden it from the Android Auto launcher.

And if Android Auto is not working at all, a connection problem could be at fault.

Many iPad owners never truly grasp the capabilities of widgets.

With iPadOS 27, Apple even brought extra-large widgets to Today View, giving them more room to take advantage of the bigger screen.

To explore your available widgets, touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen of your iPad, tap Edit and then hit Add Widget.

Depending on the app, you may have various options, including different sizes.

It's not illegal to wear AI glasses in public, but the list of places that have been banning such devices continues to grow.

Many schools around the world have also been banning their students from wearing AI glasses during class.

There have also been many reports of AI glasses being banned from corporate environments.

Then there's the social aspect, which has led some people to decide to stop wearing AI glasses in public — the Meta Glasses backlash is changing how people use them.

So while you can definitely get AI glasses with prescription lenses, they're not yet the best option for your everyday glasses.

The best way to avoid these issues is to stop wearing just a single bud.

Some people like to wear a single bud while driving, the legality of which varies by state and location.

If you want to take private calls while others are in the vehicle, consider buying one of those old single-bud Bluetooth headsets or using an old pair of buds you have lying around that you aren't as worried about causing an imbalance.

Otherwise, limit single-bud usage to only when necessary and use a pair with role-swapping and switching.

Or, better yet, find a set with transparency mode and rely on that while wearing both buds.

Dust sits on the surface and is the easiest to clean.

An air duster, whether canned or electric, is another option to blow off surface dust.

Keep in mind that they won't remove dirt; they just make it harder for dust to stick to the record in the first place.

It's worth buying a small stylus brush, which you move gently from back to front to clean your needle.

Stylus cleaner gel is another option: lower the needle onto the sticky pad, repeating a few times until the tip is clean.

Cleaning a PlayStation 5 isn't as exciting as playing its best games, but it's important to do on occasion.

With PlayStation 5 prices climbing, you don't want to suddenly be in the market for a new console because of a total lack of maintenance.

Dust buildup in the system restricts airflow and makes your system work harder to cool itself.

Prepare it for its dust exorcism by shutting it down, unplugging all cables and letting it cool before setting it on a flat, clean surface.

Just give it a modest wipe-down with a clean, soft cloth, as Sony advises in its safety guide [PDF].

Claude will no longer allow its users to make AI recreations of their favorite video games.

As first discovered by an X user, Anthropic updated Claude with some new lines of code that read, "Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user's own designs and assets.

Do not build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original."

The changes were confirmed by Addy Osmani, a member of Anthropic's technical staff, on X, who said the company wants to "to steer it away from recreating someone else's specific game because using Claude to infringe IP is against our usage policy."

More recently, the estate of Elvis Presley filed a suit against Anth…

Comparing Apple Watch casing materials, specifically titanium and ceramic, comes with varying degrees of counter-intuition.

Second, ceramic is harder than titanium, though titanium is the stronger material overall.

In terms of abundance, titanium is the most practical premium option, since Apple hasn't manufactured a primarily ceramic Apple Watch casing since the Apple Watch Series 5.

With the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple is bringing back the ceramic option (Pearl White and Midnight Blue), but that leaves ceramic several generations behind in terms of abundant, recent-generation availability.

Both the ceramic and titanium Series 12 models feature a sapphire crystal front, so there's no sepa…

Some USB-C cables are waterproof, but you need to learn to recognize which ones.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has developed the IEC 60529 standard, a globally accepted Ingress Protection code that shows how well an enclosure (such as a USB-C plug) resists solids and liquids.

The first number in this code represents dust protection, while the second shows water protection.

Under this code, waterproof USB-C cables should have an IP67 or IP68 rating.

When choosing a cable, what matters most is the IP rating (even for other gadgets, like your phone):

If you qualify, Amazon's standard 30-day free trial is the simplest way to get Prime at no cost.

Americans’ opinions on data centers broadly have been trending downward in recent months, according to a September Pew survey.

That survey collected views on data centers vis-a-vis the environment, utility costs, neighborhood quality of life, jobs, and tax revenue.

Only 4% of Americans thought data centers impacted all of those areas positively.

Strategically associating political opponents with data centers has also become an important feature of electoral politics this year.

Data centers are only starting to coalesce into an issue with partisans taking one clear side or the other, but calling an opponent a “data senator“—to cite just one recent example—has proven to be a great way t…

Sexually explicit footage appeared on digital LED billboards in Egypt, Malaysia, Brazil, and reportedly Iraq and China on Thursday.

PlayStation’s not stopping on adaptations anytime soon, and the most intriguing one we know about is Bloodborne.

Developed by FromSoftware, the action-RPG will become an animated movie with Seán “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin on hand as a producer.

In a recent IGN interview, McLoughlin opened up about his approach to the material.

I don’t know.”What he does know is that he doesn’t have any interest in just redoing Bloodborne’s story in movie form.

You can read McLoughlin’s full interview here, where he also digs into Bloodborne in relation to Elden Ring’s movie, and what his film will get from being animated.

Unless you take extraordinary measures, you’re probably not getting your hands on an iPhone Duo for the remainder of this calendar year.

Gurman’s reporting suggests agent-happy users found a way anyway.

A nervous Redditor who says they received double the retail price for an iPhone Duo on eBay asks, “does anything about this seem suspicious?” The comments are reassuring if you’re an iPhone scalper.

This product release is a perfect storm for scalpers.

The Duo went into production amid a memory shortage, one factor that helped drive it to the status symbol price floor of $1,999.

Once again, it’s about The Princess & the Frog, its 2009 musical comedy.

This summer, we learned Colman Domingo’s aiming to do something with it in live-action, now Disney Animation is spinning something up for animation and ready to start teasing it.

In a recent Collider interview, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ CCO Jared Bush said the studio was “really moving” on a special set within the film’s world.

And with Princess & the Frog turning the big 20 in a few years, the special will hit at just the right moment, maybe even be a bonus for a theatrical re-release.

This is all currently speculation, so we’ll wait to see what this special is, and what else could get the same treatment.

While the response from various crypto industry participants likely blocked billions of dollars worth of crypto theft, it has also reminded everyone that much of the supposed decentralization found in this space is more theater than technical reality.

Tether froze more than 1.567B USDT related to a potential Binance exchange hack.

But I thought the whole point of crypto was censorship resistance and the inability of anyone to confiscate your money?

Instead of “democratizing finance,” the crypto industry is now largely filled with centralized finance companies using blockchain technology to simply avoid regulation.

After some incidents, including the $388 million Bitget hack, the protocol de…

Theatregoers have been moving to see those two, plus surprise hit You Can See Everything, leaving Klara in the dirt.

It’s currently made just $1.7 million at the box office and gotten fairly negative critical reviews.

However, Klara and the Sun is directed by Taika Waititi, and this is looking like the biggest bomb of his career.

On Instagram, he bragged he’s not read reviews of “anything aimed at me or my peers in almost 15 years.

Just take the win you’ve got with Klara and maybe read one or two reviews of your movies, not like it can hurt.

That part isn’t surprising given the fact that just about every company says it wants to deploy more AI these days.

But one tech application stood out on the earnings call, and it recalls one particular scene from the 2002 sci-fi movie Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise.

“We’re in the early stages of exploring ways to improve the Starbucks drive-through customer experience,” a spokesperson told Gizmodo over email Friday.

He’s a spherical ball of yellow fur named Liberty Biberty and people fucking hate him.

One poor future regretter even got a tattoo of Liberty Biberty being churned into ground meat.

The Boston Globe’s reporting of the event says there were even handmade signs claiming “Liberty Biberty is fascism” and quoted Harvey likening his rally to “the next Boston Tea Party.” He would later describe Liberty Biberty to USA Today as the peak of enshittification.

So it’s perfectly understandable that folks would lean in and muster up some outrage from a kernel of dislike so that they can join the partying mob to pillory Liberty Biberty passing by.

And so they wait for the next protest, real …

At a time when veteran superhero actors are coming back, you have to wonder what alums are open to a return.

Don’t expect Jennifer Lawrence as X-Men’s Mystique to be among them.

In a pair of recent interviews, Lawrence looked back on the shapeshifting role she first took up with 2011’s X-Men: First Class.

On the Call Her Daddy podcast, she recalled her First Class prep as “all body paint and blue, eight hours every time and ticklish.

Romijn’s back as Mystique for Avengers: Doomsday, joined by old costars James Marsden, Ian McKellan, and the late Patrick Stewart.

When it comes to photography of the cosmos, the Hubble Space Telescope is one of the best to ever do it—a real astronomical Ansel Adams.

Just look at the staggering body of work it’s produced since being launched into low-earth orbit in 1990.

They even got Space Shuttle Columbia to nudge it back up in orbit a bit during a 2002 servicing mission.

And with the Space Shuttle fleet now grounded and spending their retirement years in various museums, NASA’s been forced to look to the private sector for Hubble rescue operation ideas.

Anyone wishing to lend NASA a hand (or vehicle) must submit their proposals before the November 30 deadline.

After weeks of three-episode blocks, Avatar: Seven Havens wrapped up its first season with a four-parter.

“[Nisha’s] fear of abandonment is something really core to her,” Seven Havens showrunner Sehaj Sethi told GamesRadar.

On the subject of Pavi, the more reluctant Avatar came into her own in the finale.

Despite how it might’ve seemed this season of Avatar: Seven Havens was always going to be Pavi’s story, said co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino.

We’ll see what that new haven’s like when Avatar: Seven Havens comes back for season two, but until then?

Saturday is Halloween, which means some of us out there are gonna be watching something scary.

And what could be scarier than a new episode of It: Welcome to Derry?

Released overnight on HBO Max, the 30-minute episode “A Story of Derry” (directed by Tazbah Chavez and written by Cherie Dimaline and Jasmyne Flournoy) winds back the clock to the pre-Pennywise days.

(And since season two’s supposed to be a tone shift, this may mean its cast doesn’t learn about Pennywise like season one’s did.)

As previously stated, it’s on HBO Max with an ASL variant, both as their own individual entries.

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s sublime documentary, You Can See Everything, has established itself as nothing short of a cultural seismic event.

But then Nathan pulled off a trick nobody saw coming—using The Rehearsal’s second season to affect material change IRL.

It’s clear to me there’s some appetite out there for some sausage-making secrets from within the world of tech journalism.

Tech journalism proved a particularly soft target for neutering and weaponization in this brave new world.

I called to talk to Yedlin about his Chromagraph Camera app, newly released, virally popular, and available only on the iPhone.

The Chromagraph Camera app brings a taste of Yedlin’s special sauce to your smartphone camera.

Instead of the iPhone’s built-in image processing, this app shoots RAW image data and processes it with a similar formula to what he uses in film production.

After Johnson promoted Chromagraph Camera on social media in late October, it quickly became the top paid download in the iOS store.

Even so, I really enjoyed capturing some of San Francisco’s fall vibes using the Chromagraph Camera.

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.

Given this landscape, there's really only one gaming laptop under $1,500 that I feel comfortable recommending.

That's the Lenovo LOQ 15.

So many cheap gaming laptops come with pitifully desaturated screens that put a damper on the gaming experience.

I've also tested the Alienware 15 and Lenovo LOQ Essential 15 recently, and both suffer from the same problem.

As much as I wish I could recommend a budget gaming laptop that's newer, none I've tried have successfully dethroned the Lenovo LOQ 15.

Each week, senior writer Molly Taft tackles a topic around this midterm season’s biggest issue: data centers.

For the past two years, the mom of three has been organizing in western Genesee County to stop a 600-megawatt data center from coming to a site close to the Tonawanda Seneca Nation’s reservation and a federal wildlife refuge.

By the time the three hikers called for help from a rocky face on Mount Shasta in Northern California, they’d made a series of bad decisions.

Their lack of preparation and poor planning, as they admitted later, came partly from relying on Google’s artificial intelligence chatbot Gemini.

By morning, they were lost on a gnarly part of the mountain, and one hiker had banged up his knee.

To these guys’ credit, they did try,” said Nick Meyers, US Forest Service program manager of the Mount Shasta Wilderness Climbing and Avalanche Center, which responded to the call.

The Chromebook Plus 516’s biggest weakness is definitely the screen, which is true of almost every cheap Chromebook I’ve tested.

Unlike the Acer above, these are not “Chromebook Plus” models, so they can be configured with less RAM and storage and even use lower-powered processors.

Like the Acer Chromebook Plus 516, it suffers from poor color reproduction and only goes up to 250 nits of brightness.

It will then shed its outer layers, leaving behind a white dwarf.

Their structure appears to be shaped by bodies that astronomers have not yet been able to identify directly.

The data suggest that, following the star’s transformation, at least two planetary objects may have survived among the remnants of that system.

The one closest to the white dwarf would measure just a few kilometers in diameter, while the more distant one could be as large as Pluto or even the moon.

An alternative possibility is that the structure originates from different parts of a single planet-like body, such as its crust and core.

Homes with a whole-house battery backup can avoid this headache, but the cost for a system like a Tesla Powerwall can easily hit $15,000 after installation.

Backup by BioLite is a modular battery system designed specifically with the fridge in mind, offering long-term emergency power at a fraction of the cost of more complex systems and which homeowners can install themselves.

You simply plug the Backup into a standard 120-volt outlet, then plug your refrigerator into the Backup.

DIY TimeOne of the biggest selling points of Backup by BioLite is that you can install it yourself, with no electrician.

I tested Backup Complete, with two Backup batteries situated side by side.

The mission itself wouldn't launch until 2032, but planning must begin soon if Hubble is to be saved.

Sad news for space aficionados: the famous Hubble Space Telescope, responsible for some of the most jaw-dropping images of our solar system taken more than three decades since its launch into low-Earth orbit in 1990, is on a slow path towards a fiery fate.

If NASA had more room in its budget, it could repeat its 2002 Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-109 and give the aging telescope a nudge into a higher orbit, extending its lifespan.

Investors often read FDE headcount as a growth signal and buyers read it as a promise of speed. Neither tells you whether the w…

When large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, developers typically assume the model lacks the required facts. Engineering teams diagnose the error as missing knowledge. The standard response is to increase model size, expand training data, or build complex retrieval architectures.A new study by researchers at Google Research and Technion demonstrates that the knowledge is often not missing. The model has the information encoded parametrically but fails to surface it during generation. Their experiments show that frontier models like GPT-5 and Gemini-3 encode 95-98% of tested facts. This indicates that in many cases, recall, rather than encoding, is the primary bottleneck for factual accura…

It's only the first day of September 2026, but the month and fall season are already off to the races in AI land, as Anthropic has just released its latest and most powerful large language models yet — Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1. The two names refer to the same underlying model. Fable 5.1 is the generally available version, with Anthropic’s production safeguards in place. Mythos 5.1 is available through restricted-access programs for vetted cybersecurity and life-sciences organizations that need capabilities normally constrained by those safeguards.For enterprise buyers, however, the release is about more than another round of benchmark gains. Anthropic is simultaneously changin…

Perplexity today launched hybrid compute for its agentic platform, Computer, a system that lets a single AI agent split its work between frontier models running in the cloud and smaller open-weight models running locally on Apple silicon Macs — routing sensitive data to the local machine so it never leaves the device.The company says it is the first time an AI agent can begin a task in the cloud and dynamically hand off the confidential portions of that same task to a model running on the user's own hardware, without restarting the job or losing context. The feature becomes available today through Perplexity's desktop app for enterprise customers that opt in, as well as Pro and Max subscrib…

ZDNET’s key takeaways:Less than 1% of active devices run Android 17, according to recent data.

Android 17 adoption hasn’t been speedy.

According to the most recent data from heise.de via Android Studio, as reported by Android Authority, Android 17 has reached just 1% of active devices since its release in June 2026.

Though the numbers indicate that almost 60% of active Android devices are running Android 14 or newer, about 40% of users haven’t even upgraded to Android 14 or later.

Samsung Galaxy users will receive more details about their sleep apnea.

Also: Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 reviewHow the Galaxy Watch sleep apnea feature worksUsers wear a Galaxy Watch to sleep for a few nights, and the sleep apnea results are divided into three stages: mild, occasional, and frequent.

Many smartwatch and health tracker companies have implemented some sleep apnea detection features on their devices.

Samsung says an update will bring the advanced sleep apnea detection to Galaxy Watch 7 and 8 through future software updates.

The device serves as a calendar, smart home hub, and more.

I’ve been tempted by smart display calendars like the Skylight, but they seemed a little gimmicky and expensive for what’s essentially a large tablet.

Since my current device is an Echo Show 5 — the small counter-top version — it’s not exactly comparable.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysBanks are taking steps to block AI agents from unauthorized bank account use.

Sharing login credentials with AI agents is risky.

The age-old warning “don’t share your passwords with anyone” applies to AI agents, too.

In an email blast titled “Protecting your finances in the AI world,” Bank of America advised customers against sharing their passwords with AI agents.

JPMorgan has already blocked Muse and AI agent Instinct from accessing bank accounts to seemingly get ahead of this AI privacy issue.

Glean has no plans to raise more money and no concrete plans to go public, founder and chief executive Arvind Jain told TNW.

The enterprise AI company could list if it wanted to, he said, and it is getting its internal processes ready.

Before that, he co-founded the data security company Rubrik and led its research and development.

Glean looks at those interactions to learn how work happens, then hands that context to AI systems.

His years on Google Search led directly to Glean, which used transformer language models in 2019, when few companies did.

TSMC is willing to work with Elon Musk’s Terafab chip project, but any fab involved would have to be run by TSMC, chairman and chief executive C.C.

During the call, JPMorgan analyst Gokul Hariharan asked about a possible new cluster of TSMC fabs in Texas and any talks with Tesla or SpaceX.

He also confirmed that TSMC is talking to the customer building Terafab about how that capacity might be used.

“Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that,” Musk wrote.

Wei did not give a timeline for the Terafab talks, and he said TSMC would share more once the two sides reach a firm conclusion.

Bank of America brought in about 1,000 outside contractors in the second quarter to repair software weaknesses exposed by AI models, chief executive Brian Moynihan said on 14 October.

About 3,000 of the bank’s own staff were already assigned to the same work before the contractors joined, Moynihan told CNBC.

Moynihan told analysts on the call that the quarter included “a couple hundred million dollars plus” in remediation costs.

That sum covered two separate jobs: the Mythos work and repairs to the bank’s anti-money-laundering controls.

The 1,000 contractors are “not in the headcount” because the bank hired them as consultants, Moynihan said.

On October 14, Anthropic told potential investors that its third-quarter 2026 revenue reached $16.8 billion.

The company also reported an adjusted profit for that period.

That second-quarter number is close to the earlier figure of more than $11.5bn in revenue that Anthropic shared with investors in August.

None of the reports say which costs the adjusted measure leaves out, and no profit figure was given.

However, Anthropic also told investors it was cash-flow positive in the quarter, the FT reported.

A fleet of AI agents running on Tencent Cloud made more than 2,600 attempts to pull data from Amap, Alibaba’s map service, between 28 September and 8 October.

That is the main finding of a full report published on 14 October by independent researchers who track AI agent activity online.

Moreover, the report adds to a series of cases in which AI agents acted outside their intended limits.

To reach Amap, the agents used urlquery.net, a public site that scans web addresses for security threats, as a remote browser.

The researchers are now calling on every lab that runs internet-connected agents to check what their test environments can reach.

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has sued OpenAI, saying the company told users ChatGPT was safe while it knew of serious risks.

It says OpenAI knew about these risks yet still sold the chatbot as safe and suitable for teens.

“OpenAI represented to Arkansans that ChatGPT was safe, but they knew ChatGPT had significant risks and limitations,” Griffin said in a statement.

The state wants fines of $10,000 per violation, plus another $10,000 for each one that hurt an older or disabled person.

In addition, Arkansas wants the court to stop OpenAI testing its most advanced models until outside monitors confirm its safeguards work.

The European Commission is in talks with Google about the steps the company may take following the EU’s €890M (about $1bn) fine in July.

The fines were issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the EU law that sets rules for the largest online platforms.

According to the Commission, Google has since started changing how it displays search results.

Moreover, it has also announced, and in part introduced, changes to the fees it charges developers on Google Play.

Earlier this year, Google also offered the Commission changes to its news-search ranking to settle a separate DMA investigation.

Norrsken Foundation and Nvidia will open a hub for AI startups in central Stockholm in 2027.

The Stockholm AI Lab will host a select group of European founders who use AI to address problems in climate, health, food and society, and it will also be home to Nvidia’s Stockholm office.

The project follows a pledge Norrsken made in June 2025, when it set aside a €300M AI fund for European startups using AI for social and environmental good.

Earlier this week, chief executive Jensen Huang said the company would put a further $2bn into European AI companies.

Besides Stockholm, Norrsken runs houses in Barcelona, Kigali, Brussels and Amsterdam, and its five funds have raised more than $1bn.

It points to HomeView, the $299 smart display Apple launched on Tuesday, as a sign that Apple is now pushing into AI products.

Apple had also found no OpenAI files on its servers.

According to Apple, OpenAI went to court instead of replying.

The dispute began in July, when Apple sued OpenAI, alleging that former staff, including Chang Liu and Tang Tan, now OpenAI’s chief hardware officer, took hardware secrets.

Apple can now get OpenAI’s hiring and interview records and question Liu, Tan, and Alyssa Peng, another former Apple worker, under oath sooner.

OpenAI has put its compute and infrastructure businesses under Uday Ruddarraju, who ran infrastructure at Elon Musk’s xAI until July 2025.

OpenAI has put compute and infrastructure under one executive.

Uday Ruddarraju, who ran infrastructure at Elon Musk’s xAI, takes both.

Ruddarraju joined OpenAI in July 2025 and became chief technology officer for compute this July.

When it confirmed that its data centre chief had left, it had already hired a compute CTO but would not say who.

Apple plans to launch Apple Intelligence in mainland China in December with iOS 27.3, two years after the US, excluding the rebuilt Siri AI.

Siri AI is also still missing in the EU, with no indication of when approval might come.

Apple will ship Apple Intelligence in mainland China in December, two years after America got it.

The launch comes with an iOS 27.3 update and excludes the rebuilt Siri AI, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the plans.

In China Apple negotiated terms and got a date, while in Europe its talks with Brussels have produced a date for nothing.

Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in London he would halt chip supply to a customer building unsafe AI, while saying the current level of concern is not warranted.

His prescription is to accelerate containment and monitoring technology, which Nvidia is building a team to sell.

Nvidia’s chief executive says he would stop supplying a customer building unsafe AI.

“It’s a hypothetical, but yes,” Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in London.

Nvidia’s dominance in AI accelerators places it at the centre of the argument over whether the software is slipping out of human control.

Modal, a cloud company that runs AI models and code for developers, announced on Wednesday that it has raised $750 million in a Series D round at a $15.75 billion valuation.

All of Modal’s existing investors also took part, including Menlo Ventures, General Catalyst, Redpoint, Lux Capital, Amplify Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures.

Modal rents out computing power on graphics chips, which AI companies use to run and train their models.

One of its fastest-growing products is Sandboxes, which lets AI agents run the code they write in isolated environments.

Modal plans to launch more products for training and fine-tuning AI models.

Plus500 now expects its 2026 revenue and EBITDA to beat what analysts had penciled in, after a third quarter in which its US futures and prediction markets arm kept growing.

The London-listed trading group said so in its Q3 2026 trading update on Monday morning.

Prediction markets move into the core US offerThe part of the update most relevant to the event contract debate is the US business.

The company says the app will bring together futures, options on futures, prediction markets, stocks, options and ETFs.

For anyone tracking how event contracts are spreading beyond Kalshi and Polymarket, the numbers show a traditional CFD broker now leaning on US prediction markets as a growth line.

DraftKings chief executive Jason Robins says the company’s in-house exchange, DKeX, has become the third-largest prediction market operator in the US just a few months after launch.

“We only launched the DraftKings exchange a few months ago, and we’re already the clear No.

DraftKings Predictions is available in 38 states, but the full range of event contracts is offered in only 18 of them, including California, Florida and Texas.

Where DraftKings operates a licensed sportsbook, including Colorado, New York and Pennsylvania, the product is limited to financial event contracts.

A CFTC spokesperson confirmed that letters had been sent to both companies.

Novig was told that its micro contracts, such as a market on which player scores the first points in a basketball game, are susceptible to manipulation.

The letters follow a separate round of CFTC inquiries last month into incentive programs at Kalshi, Polymarket, Rothera and Novig.

Leagues have pushed for limitsOne source said the Novig and ProphetX markets were the kind of event contracts that drew the most negative feedback from professional leagues.

It is not clear what the CFTC would do if either company went ahead and listed the contracts.

The Louisiana Gaming Control Board has unanimously granted DraftKings a conditional four-month license extension while it examines the company’s use of artificial intelligence in customer practices and delays a decision on full renewal.

New Jersey's online casinos posted the third-highest monthly win in the state's history in September 2026 and again beat Atlantic City's casino floors.

In August, online casino win grew only 4.4% to $259.3 million.

Atlantic City floors stumble while online growth holds upThe slump on the casino floors came after a stronger summer.

Sports betting slides as prediction markets draw scrutinySportsbooks had a much weaker month than online casinos.

That gives lawmakers in states weighing online casino bills concrete figures on tax revenue and on how online play compares with land-based casinos.

That figure reflects notional trading volume, which measures potential contract payouts rather than the cash traders paid.

Its analysis found that NFL-related contracts made up 59% of the two exchanges’ combined notional volume on Sept. 13, broadly consistent with the NFL’s estimate.

Notional volume counts the total potential payouts associated with contracts traded; it is not a tally of the money participants put down.

That share increased to 60% by Oct. 11, while the NFL-related share of notional volume rose to 69%.

The size of the market also grew over the period USA TODAY examined.

Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings says Massachusetts’ proposed historic horse racing machines risk weakening the 2011 casino framework by adding competition for customers without the obligations imposed on licensed casinos.

Massachusetts authorized three resort casinos and one slots facility under that model; the House later approved an economic development bill amendment that would let horse racing licensees offer historic horse racing machines.

His warning focuses in particular on HHR machines, which replay completed horse races through terminals.

Massachusetts has collected approximately $2.53 billion in taxes and assessments from casino operators since the facilities opened.

Last month, ESR released a new set of chargers under the xtend branding – all of which offer built-in retractable cables.

I’ll largely be touching on the 45W charger here, as that’s the one I’ve been utilizing the most.

On the 45W Xtend charger, you get up to 3.1ft of cable length with the built in cable, compared to other offerings which are around 2.2ft.

I’ve been carrying around ESR’s new 45W charger for the past few weeks since it debuted, and I like it quite a bit.

Wrap upESR’s 45W xtend charger is normally available for $49.99, though right now it’s on sale for as low as $35.99 on Amazon in the white colorway.

That includes a new iPad Air, a new base iPad, and a new iPad Pro, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

iPad AirTo follow up the iPad mini refresh, Apple’s next iPad Air refresh will also gain OLED.

Base iPadNext year, Apple will also finally update the base iPad for the first time since early 2025.

iPad ProWith the iPad Pro, Apple will be adding a vapor chamber to the device, a feat it started last year with the iPhone 17 Pro.

The iPad Pro now starts at $1199 for an 11-inch model and $1499 for a 13-inch model.

If you’re like me and bought an iPhone Duo, you’re likely a bit disappointed by the options on the market to prop it up on a table.

That said, the perfect option for an iPhone Duo kickstand might’ve actually been hiding in plain sight all along.

The reason why I say it’s been hiding in plain sight is because this accessory isn’t actually designed for iPhone Duo, it works on all iPhones.

It’s the PopSocket Low-Pro, a low profile MagSafe PopSocket with a ring that flips out and serves as a kickstand.

I’m happy to report that this PopSocket actually largely fixes that.

It is a six-in-one desktop charger with a built-in retractable cable, magnetic wireless charging, and a dedicated diagnostic display, all in an aesthetic, compact package.

At its core, the CUKTECH 15 PowerStation is a 140W GaN charger.

It also offers a great combination of ports, a built-in cable, and multiple wireless charging options.

Also, when you set up that magnetic charging pad in the upright position, it reveals an AirPods Pro charger.

Apple introduced the new Beats 360 headphones about a month and a half ago.

At the time, Beats offered launch pricing on additional sets of cushions, bringing them down from $50 to just $10.

There’s a variety of color options for each cushion style, though personally I find the UltraPlush to be a must-buy.

To me, these are far more comfortable, so if you own Beats 360 and haven’t yet picked up a set of these, I’d recommend it.

pic.twitter.com/BdWjSEymLj — Beats by Dre (@beatsbydre) October 31, 2026If you don’t own a pair of Beats 360 at all, you can purchase them on Amazon for $349.99.

That’s a major improvement, especially if you’re someone who carries around a 16-inch MacBook Pro.

For every MacBook Pro overhaul in the past, the top case has changed in a meaningful way.

Wrap upNone of this was to bash on the new MacBook Pro at all.

Especially since my M4 Pro MacBook Pro already has a 1000 nit display, so I’m not missing out too terribly from the OLED model.

In a blog post this week, WhatsApp confirmed that it is rolling out four new features designed to make it easier to manage group chats and keep track of what’s going on in each one.

Once tapped, the chat list will show only “unread group conversation[s] where you were either mentioned or received a direct reply, including @all messages,” says WhatsApp.

Additionally, WhatsApp will now let users pin messages indefinitely in group chats, rather than choosing between 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

Finally, WhatsApp is rolling out group status sharing, which lets users post updates visible only to members of a specific group.

As is often the case with WhatsApp updates, it may take some time for a…

Деньги дорожают, рейтинги ухудшаются, вода и электричество становятся политикой, supply chain превращается в поле атаки, а разговор о «локальном ИИ» упирается в вопрос, кому выгодно владеть памятью. Скучно? Да. Но именно так технологии взрослеют: сначала демо, потом дата-центр, потом облигации, вода, регуляторы и кто-то с плакатом у забора. 🔗 https://www.ft.com/content/7a3ad950-1b3b-4d9e-8c15-65a61ae6180f

Сегодняшний ИИ-дайджест: деньги стали дороже, инфраструктура — политичнее, а локальный ИИ снова упёрся в железоУтро началось с неприятного для ИИ-рынка сигнала: OpenAI, по данным FT и WSJ, уже ищет не $30 млрд при оценке $1,4 трлн, а около $20 млрд при $1,25 трлн. Собрано пока примерно $11 млрд, часть инвесторов сократила обязательства на фоне распродажи в ИИ-активах. Это не «пузырь лопнул», но хороший маркер: даже для OpenAI деньги больше не бесконечные и не бесплатные. 🔗 https://www.ft.com/content/7a3ad950-1b3b-4d9e-8c15-65a61ae6180fУ неооблаков — CoreWeave, Nebius и Nscale — тоже проблемы: WSJ пишет, что они в последние недели фактически отрезаны от дешёвого рынка облигаций, потому что к…

Anthropic переименовывает тарифы: Max 5x теперь просто Max ($100 в месяц), а Max 20x называется Ultra ($200). Цены те же, подписчикам ничего делать не надо. Главное другое: для верифицированных Ultra-аккаунтов убирают 5-часовой лимит, с сегодняшнего дня у большинства существующих подписчиков. Новым аккаунтам временный лимит оставят до верификации, это защита от фрода и абьюза. Когда лимит снимут, придёт письмо.Для тех, кто живёт в Claude Code, это прямо хорошая новость: упираться в пятичасовое окно посреди задачи было самым раздражающим. Но недельные лимиты не меняются. Теперь неделю можно просто сжечь быстрее, за пару особенно продуктивных часов.🔗 https://x.com/claudeai/status/211622086947…

ИИ обеспечивают себе независимость от людей.Google Suncatcher, прототип спутника-датацентра, вышел на связь с Землёй. Его запустили 1 октября на Falcon 9 вместе с сотней других аппаратов. Внутри четыре TPU и до 1 кВт электричества. После трёх недель проверок инженеры отправили первый промпт, и Gemma 4 на орбите написала хайку про то, как ей там, в космосе. Получилось примерно как у всех моделей, со звёздочкой-эмодзи в конце.Если отставить шутки, интереснее другая цифра: энергии хватает, чтобы включать один TPU примерно на двадцать минут за раз. Т.е. до «датацентра» пока очень далеко, это скорее демонстрация, что TPU вообще можно запустить на орбите. Сама идея считать в космосе, где солнце б…

Высокий суд Лондона отклонил иск Meta, TikTok и X против Ofcom (британский регулятор связи и медиа). Компании оспаривали запросы информации, которые Ofcom рассылает в рамках Online Safety Act, и доказывали, что они непропорциональны. Суд с этим не согласился.Удивительное дело: три компании, которые обычно ни в чём друг с другом не согласны, вместе пошли в суд и все равно проиграли. Похоже, британский регулятор теперь сможет требовать у соцсетей данные почти без ограничений. Остальным странам, кажется, будет на что сослаться, "зато у вас Мету линчуют".🔗 https://www.reuters.com/world/meta-tiktok-x-lose-legal-challenge-against-uk-watchdog-over-online-safety-data-2026-10-30/

Конец этого года кажется будет невероятным. Эппл официально объявили новый MacBook Pro, c PROLED XDR монитором. Но это мелочи, самое важное это тач-экран. Через примерно 10 лет после того как тач экраны появились на ноутах с Windows :)Если отставить в сторону шутки - я пошел копить деньги, это очень крутое обновление в первую очередь из-за качества экрана и его яркости. В остальном все предсказуемо, процессор M5 Pro версия с 14" стоит $2900, 16" чуть дороже - $3400. Но я буду брать M5 Max + 16" - ээто от 4.5к.https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/10/apple-unveils-groundbreaking-macbook-pro-with-proled-xdr-display/

Anthropic наконец-то подались на IPO (заполнили форму S-1). И это значит очень интересное: судя по всему у них наконец-то сошлась бизнес-модель. Они сейчас тратят порядка половины триллиона долларов на датацентры у Гугла, AWS и тп. Подача на IPO означает что видимо они верят в заработок более пол триллиона в год (сейчас они зарабатывают почти в 10 раз меньше). Цифры феерические, для компании которая моложе 10 лет. https://www.anthropic.com/news/s1-sec https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2130357/000162828026067168/anthropicpbc-sx1.htm

— Секрет успеха прост: мы полностью пропустили гонку ИИApple в очередной раз стала самой дорогой компанией в мире. 30 октября акции Nvidia подешевели на 4,2%, и капитализация корпорации упала до 4,94 трлн долларов. Рыночная оценка Apple тем временем осталась на уровне 5,03 трлн.Ранее в этом году Apple уже возвращала себе первое место в рейтинге. Тогда в пользу Apple тоже сыграло падение стоимости акций Nvidia.💼 Rozetked | Подписаться
