Сколько зарабатывает каршеринг на аренде?

Но Делимобиль – это не таксопарк, где владелец, как правило, сам решает все проблемы.

Царапину заметить сложно, а люди часто не осматривают и не фотографируют машину подробно.

Еще я решил найти самый лютый каршеринг с точки зрения штрафов и на канале в Телеграм собрал статистику по запросам вордстат и пересчитал ее на количество авто в автопарках популярных каршерингов.

Как на это посмотрят контролирующие и надзорные органы – не знаю, практика говорит, что они на стороне каршеринга.

В этой статье мы разберемся в устройстве телетайпа в процессе восстановления реального аппарата Т-63.

Да, как и в телефонии, сигнал передается током, а не напряжением, благодаря чему работа аппаратов не зависит от длины линии.

Некоторые модели телетайпов имели систему автоматического распознавания этой команды и выдачи в ответ в линию заранее запрограммированной последовательности символов, обозначающей абонента.

Если в это время в катушке есть ток (передается лог.

Компьютер и телетайп можно разнести как в разные комнаты, так и в разные города, соединив по телефонной сети обычными модемами (или по коротковолновой радиосвязи трансиверами).

Во-первых, он упоминает, что в ходе двухлетней осады Платей в 429 году до н.э.

Сам Ландульф первым подплыл к пизанским кораблям, но неудачно метнул огонь и достиг лишь того, что огонь рассеялся.

Элеимон попал бы в плен, если бы немедленно не кинулся к снарядам, не бросил в пизанцев огонь и не поразил цель.

ИзвестьВ пользу этой теории играет наблюдение, что греческий огонь не удавалось потушить водой, лишь уксусом.

В дальнейшем англичане пытались применять смесь, похожую на греческий огонь, в ходе Крымской войны 1853-1856 года.

Для этого в брендбуках даны точные числовые значения разных цветовых моделей - в основном в FOGRA39 для CMYK и для sRGB или Adobe RGB.

По каталогу PANTONE или любому другому также и для воспроизведения в печати, и при подбора колера для намешивания обычной краски если нужно покрасить мебель, автомобиль, самолёт или здание в фирменные цвета.

Отпечаток выведенный даже в одной и той же типушке но с разницей в пару месяцев может отличаться (даже в одном тираже цвет на первом листе и на последнем листе может отличаться).

Какой-то злой гений создавал их брендбук (хоть я его и не читал, но не осуждаю), не иначе, что в прошлом печатник.

И, как видно невооружённым глазом - Меджента и Циан это базовы…

Но идёт передача не в прайм-тайм, а в 10:00 или 11:00 утра.

Пользователь обещает языковой модели деньги и щедрые чаевые (это не работает), а также напоминает, что Gemini и Claude в способностях ChatGPT сомневаются.

Этот закон даровал каждому гражданину США старше 21 года, не воевавшему на стороне Юга, право на участок в 160 акров (около 65 гектаров).

Для этого требовалось внести символическую плату в 10 долларов и в течение пяти лет обрабатывать землю и построить на ней дом — после чего она переходила в полную собственность поселенца.

У города Амарилло в Техасе в небо взметнулась стена пыли высотой в три километра.

Участники, вооружённые дубинками и битами, выстраивались в цепь и, прочёсывая местность, загоняли обезумевших от страха животных в гигантские самодельные загоны.

Правда, он тоже объяснил физику процесса не совсем верно — связал его вообще не с термоэлектричеством, а с твёрдостью и электрическим сопротивлением проводников.

А это не хухры-мухры!

Во многом из-за того, что в ходе работы термопары в ней возникают побочные необратимые (то есть, только нагревающие) процессы.

Вот мы научились просто и надёжно, хоть и не слишком эффективно, получать электрический ток.

Где-то полторы-две сотни таких установок создали и в США — строго говоря, первый РИТЭГ там и разработали в 1954 году.

Это самый технологичный цвет, и я готов утверждать, что именно поэтому он обычно используется в научной фантастике и других областях для обозначения будущего.

Синий цвет династии Хань имеет почти ту же химическую формулу, что и египетский синий, но в нём кальций заменён барием: BaCuSi 4 O 10 .

В 1897 году стало возможным производить искусственный индиго в промышленных количествах, что в конечном итоге привело к полному замещению использования растения.

В целом я в некоторой степени согласен с Носселем: возможно, всё сводится к тому, что синий цвет трудно найти в природе.

Но синий цвет оставался недостижимым.

ПроводаЭто, наверное, самый важный пункт в экономике сети на 2,5 Гбит, ведь при определённых условиях бюджет на этот пункт составит 0 рублей.

В тестах в NAS и в сервере я буду использовать карты на RTL8125, а в основном ПК — RTL8126.

Я делал тесты как с дефолтным драйвером, так и с обновлённым с официального сайта, но особой разницы не заметил.

RTL8126 — Без проблем заработал в Windows из коробки без установки драйверов, в моём случае работал на 2,5 GbE, а не на максимуме в 5 гигабит.

ВыводыТак вышло, что сеть 2,5 GbE я «тестирую» уже больше двух лет, и сейчас апгрейд на неё дёшев как никогда.

Там, как и итальянская пицца, и японские суши, сэндвичи приняли современные формы, изрядно прибавив в объёме и аппетитности, и превратившись в один из важных блюд мирового фастфуда.

Почти годом после того, как Эдвард Гиббон описывал сэндвич как типичный вечерний перекус посетителей Cocoa-Tree.

Как сэндвич выбрался за пределы Лондона и стал ассоциироваться с едой в пути и на лоне природы?

За вторую половину XIX века сэндвичи стали сначала в Великобритании, а затем и в Голландией типичной уличной пищей для горожан среднего достатка, а затем и рабочих.

В первой половине ХХ века и в США сэндвичи стали одним из типичных видов городского фастфуда — впрочем, уступая в популярности своим близким ро…

Осталось только понять, где и что было адаптировано?

Ну а чтобы нашим читателям, фигурантам, экспертам и наблюдателям было легче понять, что такое немножко поправить топологию мы и написали эту статью.

Для того, что бы разобраться в этом мы полезли в описание типа на счетчик ФОБОС-1 с сайта производителя.

Тем более, что мы не нашли каких либо отличий в схемотехники приборов с 5(100)А и 5(80)А в названиях.

Кроме того, как мы рассказали в прошлой статье и отечественность микросхемы АЦП К5553Xn01T вызывает сомнения, так как внутри стоит кристалл от китайской микросхемы VANGO V9381 (еще минус 13 баллов).

Дэниел Томас О'Бэннон и Рональд ШусеттЖить не на что, грошей нет, а кушать хочется.

Но как додумались до той сцены «рождения» ксеноморфа, ставшей визитной карточкой фильма и как реализовали?

То самое недоразумениеНа том и порешили и как показало время – не прогадали.

Потому в помощь позвали другого творческого парня – Роджера Дикена, английского художника по спецэффектам, имевшего, как и всякий творец, скверный характер.

Затем Гигер посмотрел на то, что я рисовал с Дикеном, и сказал: «Нет, так лучше, намного лучше».

Пр��стая механика и карты должны были сделать игру недорогой и, по идее, востребованной.

Опять же я не считал свой труд и затраты на тот же Игрокон, куда я ездил и показывал эту игру.

Тираж состоялся, печатался он опять в Кирове, игра получилась успешной и в какой-то мере культовой.

Дополнительно средства уходят на регистрацию новой торговой марки «СИМПЛРОБОТ» (~85 000 рублей) и на получение сертификата соответствия (еще 120 000 рублей).

И платежи, платежи, платежи...По итогу, посчитав, что я вложил своего труда и средств порядка 4 миллионов рублей за 9 лет, результат: нишу образовательных научных игр я так и не создал.

Ими пользовались отдельные люди, компании, операторы досок объявлений и не только.

Ещё один минус в том, что протокол для взаимодействия с этими ленточными накопителями очень небрежный, нестандартный и не особо поддерживается.

Проблема в том, что драйвер ftape не обслуживается где-то с 2000 года, и из ядра Linux его давно удалили.

Это серьёзная задача, которая потребует обновить код, чтобы драйвер работал с современными API ядра и отвечал всем последним требованиям.

У меня имеется некоторый опыт работы с модулями ядра, и я хорошо разбираюсь в общих принципах языка С, поэтому перехваливать успех Claude в этом сценарии не стану.

Например, спрос на iPhone 17 оказался выше спроса на iPhone 16 за тот же период, — пишет аналитик Мин-Чи Куо.

Объём производства iPhone 17, Pro и Pro Max увеличился на 25 %, а срок поставок — на неделю, то есть айфонов подготовлено больше на четверть, но ждать их придётся дольше из-за дефицита.

С самой большой моделью ситуация вообще сумасшедшая: Apple производит «примерно на 60 %» больше 17 Pro Max в сравнении с предшественником.

А с iPhone Air ситуация непонятная.

По мнению Мин-Чи Куо, продавать новый Air будут не характеристики, а опыт, который потенциальные покупатели получат в Apple Store.

Посмотрим, что говорят зарубежные СМИ и блогеры о наушниках, которым предначертано стать самыми популярными «затычками» в мире.

AirPods Pro 3 на первый взгляд кажутся знакомыми, но вставьте их в уши — и вы почувствуете разницу.

Это не такое уж значительное улучшение, но в ситуациях, где AirPods Pro 2, возможно, блокировали шум на 90 %, AirPods Pro 3 достигают 98 %.

И тут они пришли к выводу, что APP2 (так они называют AirPods Pro 2) звучат лучше третьих «Прошек»!

Однако в AirPods Pro 3 новый пульсометр, ставший самым маленьким в индустрии.

Проблема сопровождается снижением заряда, отключением при 100 % и так далее.

Интересно, что в отличие от кейсов с Pixel 6a и 7a поддержка компании работает хаотично: то просит пользователей сфотографировать смартфон со всех сторон, то платит компенсацию за ремонт в стороннем сервисе, то предлагает бесплатный ремонт и замену аккумулятора.

Я связал это с жёсткими условиями: смартфон по 6−8 часов в неделю пахал как веб-камера для компьютера.

Что иронично, как раз в то время в прошивке «Пикселей» появилась возможность использовать их как вебку без сторонних приложений.

Мало того что фича угробила мне смартфон, так и компенсаций никаких за это можно не ждать, так как PIxel в России официально не…

Сначала Meizu 21 Pro, а теперь и Meizu 22.

Аккумулятор на 5510 мА•ч, а зарядка обеспечивает 80 Вт по проводу и 66 Вт по беспроводу.

Купить Meizu 22 можно пока только в Китае.

В ночь с 14 на 15 сентября прошла 77-я церемония «Эмми», триумфаторами которой стали «Переходный возраст», «Киностудия» и «Больница Питт».

Они называют обновлённый геймплей — весёлым, открытый мир — большим, а в диалогах стало заметно меньше туалетного юмора.

Жучиная возняУ вышедшей на прошлой неделе Hollow Knight: Silksong тоже не всё гладко, но не в таких масштабах.

Второй проблемой для некоторых игроков стала сложность, что в свою очередь снова возродило в сети спор об уровнях сложности в играх.

Но на этот раз компания зарегистрировала в США патент на взаимодействие с «субперсонажем», которого сначала можно призвать, а потом отправлять в бой.

А вот владельцам PlayStation и Xbox придётся ещё подождатьHades II покинет ранний доступ 25 сентября и помимо ПК в этот день выйдет ещё и на Switch 2.

Однако теперь директор по контенту Star Citizen Джаред Хакби сообщил, что студия не покажет геймплей одиночной кампании Squadron 42 на CitizenCon в октябре.

По его словам, разработчики трудятся в поте лица, чтобы успеть дожать проект к 2026 году, но «сами не знают, когда закончат».

Первоначально обещали выпустить игру в 2015 году, а главные роли в ней исполняют Марк Хэммил, Гэрри Олдман и Джиллиан Андерсон.

Игру в итоге перенесли на 2019 год, а затем, в 2023 году, наконец-то объявили, что сюжетная кампания вообще-то готова, просто нуждается в некоторой полировке, а потом снова перенесли на 2026 год.

Сейчас на сайте игры дата релиза не указана вовсе.

NVIDIA удалось откусить у Intel 25 % рынка процессоров для серверных вычислений.

До конца года гигант рассчитывает увеличить долю до 50 % благодаря кастомным CPU на архитектуре ARM.

Последняя пообещала закупить 1,2 миллиона процессоров NVIDIA до конца года.

На игровом рынке Intel тоже чувствует себя неуверенно.

Компания также доминирует и на рынке портативных консолей, поставляя чипы для Steam Deck, Xbox ROG Ally и Lenovo Legion Go.

Новый iPhone 17 Pro смотрится соблазнительно хорошо: обновлённый дизайн, улучшенные камеры и большой аккумулятор заставили потянуться к кошельку даже тех, кто уже купил 16 Pro и зарёкся обновляться в этом году.

А вот реальный отрыв iPhone 17 Pro от iPhone 16 Pro в тестах сырой производительности составляет примерно 10 %.

Качество снимков с фронталки выросло значительно: по уровню мелкой детализации и отсутствию шумов новый 17 Pro с отрывом уделывает прошлогодние модели.

В США за iPhone 17 Pro на 256 ГБ просят $1100, а за Pro Max — $1200.

Разве что найти 16 Pro и Pro Max в стартовой комплектации сегодня можно как минимум в полтора раза дешевле.

Компании, которые делали свои продукты при помощи кода, написанного нейросетями, стали нанимать за большие деньги специалистов, которые этот код чинят и заставляют работать.

И представляете, оказалось, что быстрый код не значит хороший!

Так что скупым адептам ИИ-программирования приходится платить дважды, чтобы исправить, что нагаллюцинировали им нейронки на раннем этапе, и развивать свои проекты дальше.

Выигрывают от этого настоящие программисты, которые не боятся исправлять низкокачественный вайб-код.

Пока что за смерть профессии, видимо, опасаться не стоит.

Компания показала Charmera — симбиоз брелка (charm) и цифровой мыльницы.

Камера получила крохотный сенсор на 1,6 Мп и встроенный объектив 35 мм со светосилой f/2.4.

При создании «брелкамеры» Kodak явно вдохновлялась Лабубу: брелки продаются в блайндбоксах, в каждом из которых спрятана одна из семи мыльниц со своим уникальным фотопресетом.

Месяцем ранее руководство Kodak уведомило инвесторов, что у компании заканчиваются деньги и ей больше нечем погасить долг по облигациям в размере $500 млн.

Если «Камерабубу» не поможет выправить финансовое положение, компания сначала сократит соцвыплаты оставшимся сотрудникам, а потом и вовсе подаст на банкротство.

На IFA 2025 показали геймпад для мобильных игр в необычном дизайне.

Маленькая коробка крепится к смартфону через MagSafe и парой движений раскладывается в геймпад.

Такое устройство отличается от подавляющего большинства мобильных геймпадов, где кнопки находятся слева и справа на манер Nintendo Switch.

А дизайн MCON похож на миниатюрный, но обычный геймпад, которому не нужен слишком широкий хват.

Соединяется контроллер со смартфоном через Bluetooth, а в будущем получит отдельный адаптер на 2,4 ГГц.

Как известно, ранее в КНР айфоны продавались только с SIM-лотком, а у iPhone Air вместо него eSIM.

После сентябрьской презентации на китайском сайте компании было указано, что тонкий айфон поступит в продажу 19 сентября вместе со всей линейкой iPhone 17, что было удивительно.

Сейчас на промостранице указано, что дата начала продаж будет озвучена позже, — сообщает South China Morning Post.

В этом, вероятно, и кроется загвоздка: местные регуляторы решили, что оставшиеся два оператора — China Mobile и China Telecom — тоже должны согласиться работать с Apple.

По всей видимости, с China Mobile уже удалось договориться: пресс-служба оператора написала в Weibo, что «компания включила функцию eSIM …

В следующий понедельник Apple выпустит обновление для AirPods с функцией Live Translation, но не для всех.

В ЕС есть два нормативных акта, которые не дают просто так включить Live Translation на AirPods.

Документы требуют более тщательной проверки, как именно функция запрашивает согласие на обработку данных, сохраняет конфиденциальность переговоров и защищает права пользователей.

Apple, в свою очередь, должна ответить на все эти вопросы, и на это требуется дополнительное время.

Функция мгновенного перевода появится на новых AirPods Pro 3, а также AirPods Pro 2 и AirPods 4 с ANC.

Его можно поменять всего за две минуты, аккуратно поддев переднюю крышку.

Открывается «Десятка» с обеих сторон, внутри тоже красота: никаких нестандартных винтиков и разлитого клея, только стандартные крепежи T3 Torx Plus.

Управиться с заменой большинства комплектующих можно при помощи одной отвёртки.

Никакого больше риска возгорания из-за возни с феном и острыми предметами, как это было с Pixel 9a.

Специалисты iFixit оценили ремонтопригодность Pixel 10 на один балл ниже прошлогоднего iPhone 16, в нём и сам аккумулятор защищён от случайного прокалывания стальным чехлом, и клей, на который он посажен, теряет свои липучие свойства при прохождении через него электрического тока.

Основные препятствия на этом пути — психологические сложности: почти половина женщин сталкивается с неуверенностью в собственных силах, треть — с боязнью перемен.

Компания Илона Маска xAI сократила более 500 сотрудников своей крупнейшей команды по аннотации данных для чатбота Grok.

Перед сокращением работников попросили пройти экспресс-тесты, но в итоге компания оставила только тех экспертов, чьи навыки нужны для дальнейшего развития Grok.

Совет директоров не только сделал его CEO, но и выдвинул в кандидаты в сам совет, что должно было закрепить преемственность.

39 лет службы в Nestle, должность CEO и трагический финал.

Его называют компромиссной фигурой без крупных провалов, но и без самостоятельной стратегии: курс компании уже зафиксирован советом директоров.

Раньше руководящие должности в Nestle занимали сотрудники, работавшие в компании много лет.

Для Nestle, чей бренд десятилетиями ассоциировался со стабильностью и предсказуемостью, это удар не только по управлению, но и по репутации.

Популярность дизайнерских игрушек Labubu, ставших хитом в Азии год назад, начала снижаться — это привело к падению акций китайской компании Pop Mart на 9% в Гонконге.

Претензии PenskeСо стороны Penske заявили: Google включает сайты в результаты выдачи только при условии, что их статьи будут использоваться в ИИ-обзорах.

В феврале индекс популярности Perl составлял 0.49%, после чего начался его рост до 0.7% в марте, 0.9% в апреле, 1.2% в мае, 1.47% в июне, 1.76% в июле и достиг 2.08% в августе.

По предположению руководителя TIOBE высокая позиция в рейтинге связана с большим числом книг по Perl, продаваемых в интернет-магазине Amazon (например, число книг по Perl в 4 раза превышает PHP и в 7 раз Rust).

Пик популярности Perl пришёлся на март 2003 года, когда данный язык поднялся на 3 место в рейтинге, после чего началось постепенное снижение популярности Perl.

Google implementing Play Integrity API and encouraging developers to implement it.

We’ve already seen SyncThing simply discontinue development for this reason, citing issues with Google Play Store.

This, of course, is about Awe dropping, Apple’s September 9 event, where they presented the new iPhone lineup, the new AirPods Pro, and the new Apple Watches.

Fighting human trafficking with self-contained applications [LWN subscriber-only content]Welcome to LWN.net The following subscription-only content has been made available to you by an LWN subscriber.

Brooke Deuson is the developer behind Trafficking Free Tomorrow, a nonprofit organization that produces free software to help law enforcement combat human trafficking.

She started by pointing out that no software is going to be able to single-handedly put an end to human trafficking.

Her goal for the programs Trafficking Free Tomorrow makes is to " raise the cost of selling people " to make human trafficking not economically viable.

She does this by building tools for law enforcement, who are …

Today, we software developers erect our own pyramids each day - not from stone, but from code.

So why, when KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is a well-known mantra, do we keep gravitating toward complexity?

Like the Pyramids, modern software is built layer upon layer - dependencies, frameworks, and abstractions stacked high.

The simple alternative is just around the corner: sprinkle vanilla JavaScript where it’s needed and don’t build your identity around a framework.

Team dynamics and collaboration: In large teams, developers add layers of abstraction to make code “future-proof” or accommodate diverse requirements.

Not as a fun crowd shot—as processed data in Massive Attack’s real-time facial recognition system.

When Your Face Becomes the ShowThe band deployed live facial recognition technology that captured and analyzed attendees during their recent performance.

During their latest tour stop, Massive Attack shocked fans by integrating facial recognition into the show itself.

Unlike typical concert technology that enhances your experience, this facial recognition system explicitly confronted attendees with the reality of data capture.

Others viewed it as necessary shock therapy for our sleepwalking acceptance of facial recognition in everyday spaces.

With pooshit (and a simple config file), you can simply push your local dev files to a remote folder on a VM then automatically remove relevant running containers, then build and run an updated container with one command line call.

It works well with reverse proxies like nginx or caddy as you can specify the docker run arguments in the pooshit_config files.

William Gibson Reads NeuromancerThe author Ray Bradbury is one of the early science fiction authors that moved science fiction into a literary form.

An example of this can be found in the documentary made about William Gibson, No Maps for these Territories.

What happens when you use a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to launch Northrop Grumman's Cygnus supply ship?

Health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has appointed five more people to the federal advisory committee that sets national vaccination recommendations.

Like the existing members, the new appointees have questionable qualifications for being on the panel, and many have expressed anti-vaccine views.

Remember, the Lord Jesus did not fear lepers, and leprosy was (and continues to be) a highly contagious infectious disease."

Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is not a highly contagious disease, and about 95 percent of people are naturally immune.

The companies seeking to build larger AI models have been increasingly stymied by a lack of high-quality training data.

As tech firms scour the web for more data to feed their models, they could increasingly rely on potentially sensitive user data.

In the event copyrighted data makes it into training data (either accidentally or on purpose), its appearance in outputs can cause a different kind of headache for devs.

By running experiments with varying model sizes and noise-batch ratios, the team established a basic understanding of differential privacy scaling laws, which is a balance between the compute budget, privacy budget, and data budget.

In short, more noise leads to lower-quality out…

Once again, the Trump administration is hyping a deal that could see TikTok finally sold to US owners to avoid a nationwide ban that Congress successfully argued was otherwise necessary to protect national security.

Critically, Bessent said that the framework pointed to a "switch to US-controlled ownership," the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.

Presumably, TikTok won't shut down ahead of Trump's call with Xi, but TikTok risked going dark as soon as Wednesday.

That's the latest deadline for the forced sale after Trump extended the deadline three times as negotiations with China remained tense.

General Motors will temporarily lay off workers at its Wentzville assembly plant in Missouri.

A Chinese regulator has found Nvidia violated the country’s antitrust law, in a preliminary finding against the world’s most valuable chipmaker.

Nvidia had failed to fully comply with provisions outlined when it acquired Mellanox Technologies, an Israeli-US supplier of networking products, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said on Monday.

SAMR then spent months interviewing relevant parties and gathering legal opinions to build the case, the people said.

The preliminary findings against the chipmaker could result in fines of between 1 percent and 10 percent of the company’s previous year’s sales.

This breakthrough comes after the Trump administration extended the TikTok ban for a third time earlier this summer, giving the company until September 17 to undergo a sale or face a ban in the United States.

President Trump issued an executive order in August 2020 banning the app in the United States unless it was divested from ByteDance, though courts halted enforcement of the order.

“Disney’s extraordinary storytelling legacy is second to none, and we’re honored to work with them to build the future of digital comics.

The union between one of the biggest studios in the world and one of the biggest digital comics platforms around wil…

Did you buy any Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene at Coscto in the past year?

Costco has sent out a warning to consumers who’ve purchased the Prosecco Valdobbiadene, a sparkling white wine, because the company says, “there is a risk of unopened bottles shattering, even when not handled or in use.”Unlike many other food recalls, this one specifically states that consumers shouldn’t return the product for a refund.

“If you have an unopened bottle, do not open it.

The states where the shattering Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene bottles were sold include:IowaIllinoisIndianaKentuckyMichiganMinnesotaMissouriNorth DakotaNebraskaOhioSouth DakotaWisconsinThe bottles were sold from A…

AI might be coming for our jobs, but capitalist pressures appear to be coming for the people responsible for developing AI.

Per Wired, most of the people working on Google’s AI products were contractors rather than Google employees.

The folks tasked with tightening up Google’s AI outputs are far from the only ones in the industry getting squeezed.

It’s been a tough go for people who are actually handling the data that feeds AI tools.

Shortly after Meta invested in data labeling firm Scale AI, the company cut 14% of its staff, including 200 full-timers and about 500 contractors.

After the recent release of its full soundtrack, 'KPop Demon Hunters' is leading Billboard's Top 100 and 200 charts with no end in sight.

The shine hasn’t worn off KPop Demon Hunters or its music quite yet.

With this, Huntr/x has dethroned 1969’s “Sugar, Sugar” by the Archies and the Chipmunks’ 1958 hit “The Chipmunk Song,” which placed at #1 for four weeks each during their respective years.

If that weren’t enough, three other KPop songs placed in the Top 10 for the 100 bracket.

That KPop Demon Hunters is continuing its momentum bodes well for Netflix and Sony, who are hoping to have a long-term franchise on their hands and possibly get some Oscars in the process.

The Tesla billionaire may be on his way to being human history's wealthiest human, but he is not above religious judgement.

In between causing political chaos all over the world, Elon Musk has been seeking to make himself even more obscenely wealthy than he already is.

A recent pay package offered to Musk by the Tesla board would make him the world’s first trillionaire, should he meet several business benchmarks over the next decade.

Recently, a guy who knows a thing or two about said religious tradition (it was the Pope), noted this obscenity and called it out.

“Yesterday, [there was] the news that Elon Musk is going to be the first trillionaire in the world,” he said, noting: “What …

The rocket company applied for a permit to launch its Starship rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which threatens to restrict beach access for surfers and casual nudists.

In its initial assessment, the FAA estimated that Starship’s launch activity in Florida could lead to closing down Playalinda Beach more than 60 times a year.

At another public meeting, it was the community of local surfers who were up in arms about Starship’s proposed activities in Florida, according to Beach Grit.

Located within Canaveral National Seashore, the underdeveloped Playalinda Beach offers ideal conditions for surfing.

The local community has even put together an online petition to try and stop…

They have also been a bit of a black box in terms of who is using them and what they are doing with them.

It found a surprising amount of personal use and a closing “gender gap” among its frequent users.

Notably, work usage for ChatGPT appears to make up a shrinking share of how people are interacting with the chatbot.

Those users are also more likely to use ChatGPT for personal use, as work-related messages increase with age.

The study also found that there is a growing number of women using ChatGPT, which initially had a very male-dominated user base.

With 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' and 'House of the Dragon' both aiming for the first half of 2026, the gap between visits to Westeros could be very thin.

We did already know that Game of Thrones spin-offs A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon season three would arrive in 2026.

As Deadline reports, HBO and HBO Max head Casey Bloys offered some morsels for George R.R.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has already been confirmed to run six episodes.

If House of the Dragon arrives the first Sunday of June, that would be just 17 or so weeks between Game of Thrones-adjacent adventures.

Follow along with the Gizmodo crew as we cover everything Meta announces at its annual developer conference.

We're expecting new smart glasses, upgrades to its AI models, and more.

It’s Mark Zuckerberg’s turn to get on stage and yap about how his company, Meta, is leading the way with the metaverse—oops, we meant artificial superintelligence (whatever that means)—at the annual Meta Connect 2025 developer conference.

If we’re lucky, we may even see third-gen Ray-Ban Meta AI smart glasses.

Meta Connect 2025 is Meta’s big shot at taking the lead for a new computing form factor and platform.

Apple’s iOS 26 is finally out, and with its release, there’s a lot to officially unpack (sorry, beta features don’t count).

With a firmware update rolled out on Sept. 15, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 (when coupled with iOS 26) get all of the features listed below with just a download.

According to Apple, iOS 26 brings better recording quality to AirPods, thanks in part to the H2 chip first introduced on the AirPods Pro 2.

For AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, iOS 26 can detect when you’ve fallen asleep and pause the content you’re listening to.

If you want to know more about how Live Translation works, you can read more from our AirPods Pro 3 review.

Once complete, ITER will run fusion experiments using five times as much plasma as the largest reactors in operation today.

Behind the efforts to build the world’s largest fusion reactor is an equally gigantic global collaboration: ITER, which has just announced a major advance in its quest to prove fusion’s viability.

In a paper published September 11 in Superconductor Science and Technology, the ITER Collaboration reported completing a key test to validate the quality of more than 5,500 superconducting wire samples intended to power the final reactor’s core.

These wires—stretching thousands of kilometers—form the backbone of ITER’s central magnet, a critical component that con…

We might only be days away from Meta’s next pair of smart glasses, but there’s still time for one last leak—and this one is a doozy.

Meta’s smart glasses, which are expected to roll out this week during Meta’s Connect conference, will likely bear Ray-Ban branding after all, and we may have just gotten a very official look.

An unlisted video spotted on Meta’s YouTube channel and first reported on by UploadVR seems to confirm a lot of what we expected about Meta’s next pair of smart glasses.

All it took was a rather small 4% rise in shares for the tech giant to hit the coveted stock market benchmark.

The AI hype is inextricably and intricately linked to the significant stock market returns that these tech giants, and many others, have experienced this year.

AI hype driving major gainsThe best example of AI hype delivering trillions of dollars of financial gain is perhaps Nvidia, the ultimate AI darling of the stock market.

Earlier this summer, Nvidia made history as the first company to ever hit $4 trillion market valuation.

“My opinion is yes.”An AI report from MIT fueled those worries further just a few weeks ago.

“In journalism, many of us have been excited and worried about AI in equal measure,” said Anna Wintour, Condé Nast’s chief content officer and the global editorial director of Vogue, in her opening remarks.

“We worry about it replacing our work, and the work of those we write about.”Leaders from the world of politics offered contrasting visions for ensuring AI has a positive impact overall.

Richard Blumenthal, the Democratic senator from Connecticut, said policymakers should learn from social media and figure out suitable guardrails around copyright infringement and other key issues before AI causes too much damage.

“We want to deal with the perfect storm that is engulfing journalism,” he s…

So creating a new branch of right-wing media geared toward a younger audience is definitely a key part of Kirk's legacy.

And there's also the legacy that he left in politics at large, like his rhetoric toward trans people, immigrants, his rhetoric on abortion rights.

These things really stick out to me.

There will inevitably be areas where Apple may need to improve visibility, but I think the implementation in macOS Tahoe is relatively benign.

MacOS Tahoe also brings over a design tweak that came to iPhones last year: tint for icons, which applies a unified look to all your icons at once.

Interestingly, as part of the emphasis on Spotlight, Apple has replaced Launchpad with a new Apps shortcut in the dock.

Based on this change in macOS Tahoe, I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

With macOS Tahoe, these are upgraded by Apple Intelligence, letting you set up shortcuts like summarizing text or generating images.

What would've been watchOS 12 is now watchOS 26, since the company decided to stop labeling its operating systems sequentially and instead name them according to the fiscal year they are released.

WatchOS 26 has new Apple Intelligence features, which are small and measured rather than big and sweeping—but for Apple Watch fans, the fact that there is now Apple Intelligence on your wrist at all might be enough.

Here, I'll walk through some of the new tips and tricks you can now see on your Apple Watch.

Updated September 15, 2025: WatchOS 26 is now out.

The Apple Watch now also supports Live Translation in Messages (again, you will need an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone).

One easy and uncommon way to celebrate these gizmos is to frame them up on your wall.

On the Game Boy Advance, it highlights all of the buttons and internal parts, from the speaker and CPU to the L button and battery cover.

At the top, you'll also find the year of the product's release (it's been 24 years since the Game Boy Advance launched!).

Your iPhone and iPad are getting a makeover with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.

Remnants of a Russian Zircon hypersonic missile, after it hit a five-story residential building in Kyiv during an aerial bombardment, November 17, 2024.

On September 10, at least 19 drones from Russia invaded Polish airspace, being intercepted and shot down by NATO fighters with no major damage on the ground.

The alerts were triggered again on September 13, when Romania detected a drone, allegedly from Russia, in its airspace.

Russian drone incursions into NATO airspace generated widespread international condemnation.

Notwithstanding the attempts to offer explanations, the joint Zapad 2025 military exercises between Russia and Belarus do little to reduce tensions in Eastern Europe.

More than 200 contractors who worked on evaluating and improving Google’s AI products have been laid off without warning in at least two rounds of layoffs last month.

The move comes amid an ongoing fight over pay and working conditions, according to workers who spoke to WIRED.

Most raters working at GlobalLogic are based in the US and deal with English-language content.

Workers allege that the latest cuts come amid attempts to quash their protests over issues including pay and job insecurity.

Workers still at the company claim they are increasingly concerned that they are being set up to replace themselves.

The publishing company behind USA Today and 220 other publications is today rolling out a chatbot-like tool called DeeperDive that can converse with readers, summarize insights from its journalism, and suggest new content from across its sites.

Reed said that Google’s AI Overview feature has dramatically cut traffic to publishers across the industry.

“We are watching the same movie as everyone else is watching,” Reed said ahead of today’s announcement.

“We can see some risk in the future to any content distribution model that is based primarily on SEO optimization.”Like other publishers, Gannett has signed some deals with AI companies, including Amazon and Perplexity, to license its content…

Most monitors today are typically 1080p (1920 x 1080), 1440p (2560 x 1440), 4K (3840 x 2160), or even 5K (5120 x 2160).

Refresh rate: This refers to how many times the display can refresh the picture per second, measured in hertz (or Hz).

A higher refresh rate makes all movement and animation look smoother because you're seeing more information.

Each is popular for different reasons: IPS for color, VA for contrast, and TN for speed with higher refresh rates and response times.

IPS has become especially popular thanks to its growing refresh rate speeds.

This was a DEXA scan, short for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

Since the late 1980s, hospitals have used this method to diagnose osteoporosis, and it remains the gold-standard test for bone health.

At Canyon Ranch, where I was attending the Longevity8 program, the DEXA scan was presented as a crucial snapshot of what might be diminishing my healthspan.

The appeal of the DEXA scan is clear.

A DEXA BC (body composition) scan can also distinguish fat from lean muscle, providing a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, and stroke risk.

Remember back in 2023, when we told you how to get your cut of a $725 million class action settlement?

I received an email earlier this week saying my claim had been approved in In re: Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation, a class action settlement that covered anyone who had a Facebook account between 2007 and 2022.

The agreement settled a variety of privacy accusations against Facebook (now Meta), including that it allowed Cambridge Analytica and others to improperly access user data.

Earlier today I got the money through PayPal: a total of $38.36.

A few other Verge staff and their family members also got payouts, most in the $38 range but including one closer to $5.

An unlisted and now-removed video from Meta showed off a new pair of Ray-Ban branded smart glasses with a display and a wristband to help control them, as reported by UploadVR.

The video also features a new pair of wraparound “Sphaera” Oakley smart glasses with a camera on the nose, meaning that Meta itself may have inadvertently leaked two of its biggest announcements from its Connect event this week.

For the glasses with a display, the video includes branding that says “Meta | Ray-Ban” and “Display,” so perhaps Meta will call them the Meta Ray-Ban Display.

And according to another clip shared by UploadVR from Meta’s unlisted video, in addition to the Sphaera glasses, …

President Donald Trump is trying to smooth things over with South Korea after his administration arrested hundreds of workers at a Hyundai plant in Georgia earlier this month.

On September 4th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents descended on the electric vehicle battery plant operated by Hyundai and LG Energy Solutions, detaining nearly 500 workers, including around 300 workers from South Korea.

Workers interviewed by The Korea Times say they were “shackled and handcuffed” and then brought to the ICE detention center in Folkston, Georgia, while their belongings and phones were confiscated.

The incident puts the Trump administration on shaky ground with South Korea, which has l…

So, I don’t want to speak about the specifics of the lawsuit, but I can speak to our philosophy here, which is, look, we want a healthy ecosystem.

We want to be able to provide that, too, while at the same time, driving people back to content, valuable content, on the Internet.

I’ve been using Liquid Glass, in Apple’s various betas, across a number of devices for the last couple of months.

There’s just one ongoing problem with Liquid Glass: it’s the wrong idea.

Likewise, on the Mac, Liquid Glass mostly gets out of the way, because there’s not actually all that much system-created interface on a Mac.

Image: AppleIt’s also still way too easy for Liquid Glass to fall apart entirely.

The Apple Watch’s job is to be glanceable, to show you information succinctly and quickly, and Liquid Glass makes everything just a little harder to parse.

macOS Tahoe 26 is now available to everyone using compatible MacBooks and Mac desktops.

This will be the last major macOS update for older Intel-based Macs – specifically those featuring Apple’s T2 Security Chip.

Various UI elements on Tahoe will have a glossy transparent appearance, revealing what’s beneath them.

It includes a major UI overhaul based on Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language that will feature an extensive use of transparent effects on windows, buttons, and notifications.

Leveraging Apple Intelligence, Live Translation can translate text, audio during phone calls or FaceTime calls, and even chats in Messages.

Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language is subtler on the Apple Watch.

For the Apple Watch, the Liquid Glass update isn’t quite as dramatic a change as it is for the iPhone and iOS 26.

With watchOS 26 you can dismiss timers and notifications by rotating your Apple Watch away from you.

With watchOS 26 the Apple Watch can also automatically adjust the volume of calls, notifications, and Siri based on ambient noise, making them quieter when the din dies down.

Hypertension notifications, announced alongside the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 last week, are also coming with watchOS 26.

Apple is rolling out iOS 26 with a bunch of new features for the iPhone.

The biggest change you’ll see upon installing the update is Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign, introducing translucent buttons, sliders, tabs, and other navigational elements across the iPhone’s interface.

iOS 26 also includes Live Translation, an AI-powered feature that automatically translates texts in Messages, displays live captions on FaceTime, and provides spoken translations during phone calls or through your AirPods.

Some other small but notable upgrades coming with iOS 26 include typing indicators and polls in group chats, as well as the ability to set a background image for different conversations.

Voyager Linux is one of those distributions that tends to go under the radar, which is a shame because it's so good.

For example, instead of using the GNOME App Overview, you can click on the "U" at the top left corner to reveal a more traditional menu.

A new user might see Box Voyager GNOME and not know what purpose it serves.

I find this important because new users won't see the terminal app launcher and get the impression that they must use the command line interface.

If you've read any of my Garmin reviews over the past couple of years, then you know that I use the watch's LED flashlight daily.

Thankfully, Amazfit stepped up, and the new Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro sports a two-color LED flashlight that competes with Garmin.

Amazfit may have implemented the LED flashlight after Garmin's success, but the company has also added customization and optimization for the user.

The Helio Ring can also be used for unobtrusive health and wellness tracking when you are not wearing the Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro.

ZDNET's buying adviceThe one feature I have been looking for in another company to launch with in order to compete with Garmin has now appeared, as the LED flashlight is…

Coros Nomad smartwatch ZDNET's key takeaways The Coros Nomad is available now in Green, Brown, and Dark Grey for $349.

It particularly resembles the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar that's $100 more and supports solar charging, but its monochrome display pales in comparison to the higher resolution color screen on the Coros Nomad.

The Coros Nomad is a durable watch that can handle the elements while weighing only 49 grams.

Matthew Miller/ZDNETAs an example of the optimization Coros provides for some of these unique activities, let's take a closer look at the fly fishing activity.

Now, with the Coros Nomad and Adventure Journal function I can create a complete story of my outdoor activities to easily…

To cut through the confusion, I recommended focusing on three features: size, panel type, and refresh rate.

Size and resolutionLG UltraGear curved monitor Kerry Wan/ZDNETI consider a monitor's size to be its most crucial aspect, as it sets the stage for every other feature.

I bought it primarily for its lightning-fast 180Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time, ideal specs for gaming.

Power users, creators, and gamers, however, will want a higher refresh rate like 90Hz, 120Hz, or 240Hz.

Additional recommendationsAcer Nitro GA271U P smart display Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETOutside of these three main points, also consider ergonomics.

Jason Hiner/ZDNETIf you've been waiting to upgrade from your old Apple desktop, now is a good time to do it because the M4 Mac Mini is currently on sale at Amazon.

$500 is the lowest amount the M4 Mac Mini has ever been outside of major sales events or holidays.

ZDNET's editor-in-chief Jason Hiner reviewed the M4 Mac Mini when it first launched in late 2024.

These applications are boosted by the fact that the base M4 Mac Mini comes with 16GB of RAM, compared to older Mac Minis, which sported 8GB of memory.

Review: M4 Mac MiniI recommend the Mac Mini M4 to people who want the latest Apple tech without the high cost.

ZDNET's key takeawaysPayments have started going out in the 2023 Facebook privacy suit.

If you filed a claim in the $725 million Facebook privacy settlement back in 2023, your payment might be on the way.

Watch for an email called "Facebook User Privacy Settlement -- Settlement and Distribution Status Update" from "Facebook User Privacy Settlement Administrator" at [email protected].

Whether you're on the low end of the high end depends on how frequently you used Facebook during the window in question.

Meta denied any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to avoid the hassle and cost of going to court.

ZDNET's key takeawaysHarvard researchers designed a new AI model, PDGrapher.

Microsoft's tool is 4 times better for complex casesLast week, Harvard Medical School published a study on a new AI model called PDGrapher.

The tool accurately predicted the drug targets known to work and identified other targets with clinical evidence to support them.

Currently, the team is using the model to tackle brain diseases, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

AI in medicineThough still new, AI has made several recent strides for medical use cases.

Also: The best AI chatbots of 2025OpenAI released a research paper analyzing millions of ChatGPT conversations, while Anthropic published its third Economic Index report on Claude usage.

Most Claude chats are automation directives (for coding)Anthropic's Economic Index looks at how Claude is used by both consumers and companies.

Also: The one way millennials beat Gen Z in AI adoptionAs for Claude usage, Anthropic said the US accounts for the highest share (21.6%).

However, Israel leads when it comes to "global per capita Claude usage."

While ChatGPT and Claude are still used for writing, ChatGPT users often ask the AI to edit non-work-related text they wrote themselves.

HP OmniBook X Flip 14 ZDNET's key takeaways HP's OmniBook X Flip 14 with 16GB of memory starts at $849 at Best Buy.

It's one of the better midrange convertible laptops of 2025, with a vivid OLED display and nice design elements.

We recently reviewed the OmniBook X Flip 16, the larger model of the series, noting its brilliant display and solid performance for the price.

The OmniBook X Flip 14 is a good example of this, delivering an enjoyable user experience for the everyday user with an OLED display, convertible form factor, and practical port selection.

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETFor students and professionals, the OmniBook X Flip 14's 5MP Full HD webcam is functional and delivers a clear, reliab…

Last year, Amazon skipped its annual Devices & Services event. Could product update surprises be in store this time around?

Also: Navigating AI-powered cyber threats in 2025: 4 expert security tips for businessesCybersecurity software firm CrowdStrike has teamed up with Meta to launch a new open-source suite of benchmarks to test the performance of AI models within an organization's security operations center (SOC).

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.

But big, established businesses have a different common issue.

Established businesses need to take a page out of the startup playbook and hire for the C-suite from their competitors – the startups.

Big businesses need to hire boldly.

Startup leaders are also adept at breaking down departmental silos to build agile, cross-functional teams.

Some will question whether startup leaders can handle the big corporate machine.

This week, Vivian Acquah, a certified inclusion strategist, workshop facilitator, and founder of Amplify DEI, shares her tips on ending meeting hangovers.

But there’s one challenge, one sneaky, often-overlooked productivity killer, that might be flying under your radar: meeting hangovers.

The survey revealed that meeting hangovers affected how coworkers interacted with each other, producing negative effects on their relationships.

Why meeting hangovers are a bigger deal than you thinkDespite the name, meeting hangovers don’t just fade away as your team moves on to their next task.

In this edition, Cem Ötkün, CEO and co-founder of startup scouting platform Bounce Watch, shares his views on how AI is reshaping investing.

AI is no longer a futuristic add-on to the investment process — it’s becoming an operating system.

AI isn’t just solving these problems.

Drafting investment memos tailored to internal thesis frameworks.

A word of caution: systems without thinking are just noiseOf course, AI isn’t infallible.

Is Europe ready for an AV future?

Liability also remains a murky issue: if a self-driving car crashes, who’s at fault — the manufacturer, the software developer, or the passenger?

A study by Swiss Re that came out this year claimed Waymo’s autonomous vehicles have up to 92% fewer liability claims than human-driven cars.

On “Kia’s Next Big Drive,” Prins predicted that self-driving vehicles will be on European roads “soon.” But the reality is more nuanced.

One thing is certain: the self-driving future isn’t just about cars.

After the FT Group acquired a majority stake in TNW in 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic severely disrupted TNW’s core revenue stream.

In light of this and the broader financial outlook, the TNW Board has had to make the difficult decision to close its Events & Media division.

TNW Spaces will continue to operate as usual, but the media site will only publish new content until the end of September, and there will be no TNW Conference in 2026.

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.

From the heart of tech, thank you.

They signal the early stages of a digital sovereignty movement — one driven as much by pragmatism as by politics.

For Europe, reclaiming control over digital infrastructure is no longer a fringe idea.

European digital sovereignty is not a rejection of global collaboration — it’s a recalibration of risk.

A pragmatic path to digital sovereigntyThe path to digital sovereignty does not require a revolution.

Continue relying on foreign platforms for its most sensitive digital functions, or invest in a future it can truly own.

A Dutch startup called Tap Electric has ambitious plans to solve these problems.

Tap Electric won the event’s pitch battle, impressing the judging panel of investors, industry leaders, and media insiders with a compelling vision for the future of EV charging.

Subscribers can also see the cheapest prices and choose to charge via the app or EV charge card across the startup’s public charger network.

“We work with Dutch public charging operators to take this one step further and do this in the public domain, on the street,” Spoelstra said.

Beyond the driverSpoelstra is upbeat about the progress of EV charging, but still sees further challenges ahead.

This week, Lize Hong, the founder of strategic communications firm Venture Vox, shares her tips on getting startups noticed.

As a tech communications expert, I’ve defended the reputations of companies like Google and Uber and helped hundreds of startups build their brands across Europe and the US, from pre-seed to post-IPO.

It’s my mission to help them stop leaving success to chance by having crystal clear messaging and turning their brand into a force multiplier.

Based on these experiences, here are five principles every founder needs to master to get their startup noticed.

Through clear messaging, structured storytelling, strategic PR, and brand alignment, startups can transform from over…

Jacqueline van den Ende, CEO of Carbon Equity, believes we have already passed the climate transition tipping point: “Last year, 90% of all new electricity production worldwide came from renewable sources, i.e.

Yet, European climate tech funding sunk to a five-year low in Q1 2025.

In this edition, Steven Kleinveld, founder of applied AI lab Skylark, argues that vibe coding won’t replace developers — it’ll upgrade them.

There’s been a lot of talk lately that AI is going to replace developers.

That’s where developers come in — and not just any developers, but those who know how to work with AI, not fear it.

AI won’t replace developers.

So no, AI isn’t replacing developers.

I’ve been impressed by the world-class infrastructure and public services, but I’ve also encountered frustrations for which Europe is famous: slow decision-making, risk aversion, and onerous regulation.

They offer Europe a unique advantage in the global race for technological leadership — and the continent can seize it with regulatory change.

Consider also the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act.

The rules are changing, and Europe is playing the long game – with a strategy rooted in values, clarity, and collaboration.

If Europe maintains its foundations while embracing a pro-business, pro-innovation culture that rewards risk, hard work, and dynamism, it has a once-in-a-generation o…

Over half (51%) of companies have deployed AI agents, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has targeted a billion agents by the end of the year.

This could pose a systemic risk where more advanced agents manipulate and deceive less advanced agents.

The deployment of AI agents by enterprises is inevitable, and so is the emergence of new power structures and manipulation risks.

AI agents are being “seamlessly” plugged into operations with little more than a demo and a disclaimer.

If the AI agents we are letting control critical operations fail to be tested for integrity, accuracy, and safety, we risk enabling AI agents to wreak havoc on society.

While humanoid robots still struggle to walk across a stage, in other corners of the world automation is quietly revolutionising industries.

But while Gebler holds a PhD in AI and is driving automation at scale, he’s clear that robots won’t replace humans entirely.

Bananas and champagne: Robots struggle with irregularly shaped items, fragile goods like eggs, or high-value products like champagne bottles.

Whether in grocery warehouses or corporate boardrooms, the future isn’t humans versus robots — it’s humans with robots.

From bananas and champagne to AI-free Fridays, Picnic is proving that the future of work is not about replacement, but reinvention.

It calls to mind a meme: the Hot Crazy Matrix.

Lessons for private equity from an internet memeThe Hot Crazy Matrix emerged in a viral YouTube video from the noughties.

In private equity, as in dating, it pays to look beyond the surface.

When capital is abundant, but clarity is scarce, private equity needs more than just enthusiasm — it needs discernment.

The Hot Crazy Matrix may be a pithy internet meme, but its reimagining offers a serious lesson: the smartest investors aren’t chasing the hottest trends — they’re bringing together deep expertise with commercial insight.

Actress Britt Lower took home one of the two statues awarded to Severance at the Emmy Awards last night, and her acceptance speech included a fun little easter egg.

When Meta released the first-gen RayBan smart glasses, it focused on first-person video capture, it didn’t really make a splash.

That changed with its AI-powered second-gen glasses, which helped it sell 2 million units, and strengthened Meta’s collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, paving the way for the recent launch of Oakley-branded smart glasses.

Apple’s next major iPhone software update is here: iOS 26 released today, but not every iPhone is compatible with the new software.

Here are the iPhone models that do (and don’t) support iOS 26.

Three iPhone models miss out on iOS 26 supportEvery year when Apple releases major new software versions, there’s always a chance that older hardware models won’t be supported.

You’ll need at least an iPhone 15 Pro or newer for those improvements.

Is iOS 26 going to motivate you to upgrade to a compatible model?

One addition is a new Adaptive Power battery mode that joins Low Power Mode, and is enabled by default on iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and iPhone Air.

Adaptive Power is on by default with iPhone 17 series and iPhone AirLow Power Mode has become a lifesaver for many iPhone users when their battery is drained.

Adaptive Power Mode is an Apple Intelligence-powered feature designed to intelligently extend your battery life in small ways that you hopefully won’t notice.

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air all have Adaptive Power on by default to maximize battery performance.

Do you plan to keep Adaptive Power Mode enabled on your iPhone?

The iOS 26 Safari browser on iPhone evokes the new design system featuring Liquid Glass, with floating toolbars and buttons that shine through the web page content behind them as you scroll.

By default, iOS 26 now uses a Compact layout which hides away some of the commonly used buttons.

However, there’s a way to change it back if you prefer something that looked like the iOS 18 design …For iOS 26, the new default mode is called Compact.

Apple has released HomePod version 26, the latest software update for HomePod and HomePod mini.

Today Apple launched iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, among a variety of other new OS versions.

Although HomePod version 26 contains far fewer updates and new features, it does offer three improvements.

Crossfade for Apple Music AirPlay improvements Wi-Fi network switchingCrossfade in Apple Music has been available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac for years.

Now, while iOS 26 is gaining a new AutoMix feature in Apple Music, HomePod at least catches up a little bit by adding Crossfade.

As well as a refreshed new look for system components like buttons and tabbars, the Liquid Glass redesign of iOS 26 also extends to app icons.

In this post, we share a side-by-side of the iOS 26 app icon and its iOS 18 counterpart, so you can decide for yourself how much of a step forward the new visual style represents.

The new app icon set presents a holistic reimagining of Apple’s approach to app icons.

watchOS icons are circular, but looked nothing like the circular icons of visionOS.

Even without these fancy flourishes, I think the new icons just look better than their iOS 18 equivalents, in almost all cases.

I’ve written before about how Gentler Streak is by far my favorite exercise app due to its human-first approach to exercise.

With The Outsiders, the company behind the app now has an offering for performance athletes who train, rather than casually working out.

The app features the same beautiful interface, animations, and overall attitude you’d expect from the makers of Gentler Streak.

Here is Gentler Stories CEO Katarina Lotrič on the new app:The Outsiders is a performance training app made for athletes who train with intent.

In addition to developing an entirely new app, the team is also updating Gentler Streak today with a complete interface overhaul.

iOS 26 is now available for iPhone users to install, and a new webpage from Apple seeks to explain why software updates are important, but also their potential impact on battery life and performance.

Depending on individual usage, some users may notice a small impact on performance and/or battery life.

Apple continually works to optimize these features in software updates to ensure great battery life and a smooth user experience.

Again though, this reality is nothing new in iOS 26.

If you’ve been running iOS 26, how has battery life been for you?

Apple today released the brand new tvOS 26 version for the Apple TV 4K set-top box.

Here are the upgrades coming to AirPods users who update to iOS 26.iOS 26 brings up to seven new AirPods features, depending on your modelEvery year, Apple introduces new features for AirPods users via firmware updates.

Alongside iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and more, Apple is rolling out new AirPods firmware that unlocks a variety of new features.
