Во время тестов компания продемонстрирует, что её устройства тише и безопаснее вертолётов, на которые всё чаще жалуются жители, пишет Bloomberg.

Спрос на подержанные товары растёт на фоне увеличения инфляции.

«Брус-16» — это новая игровая приставка.

Хотя «Брус-16» и состоит почти из одних ограничений, здесь уместно вспомнить высказывание Леонардо да Винчи: «Искусство живет ограничениями и умирает от свободы».

Минимализм решений «Брус-16» роднит его с демосценой и, как и в случае демосцены, важно было добиться оправданных с аппаратной точки зрения, а не надуманных архитектурных ограничений.

Честно говоря, ограничение в 64 прямоугольника оказалось тем самым архитектурным решением, которое в «Брус-16» было труднее всего отстаивать.

Смело создавайте «игры за вечер» для «Брус-16», потому что когда-нибудь мы обязательно проведем игровой конкурс под названием «Брусничный джем»!

Релятивистская струя и тень чёрной дыры в центре галактики Мессье-87, источникЧёрные дыры (ЧД) — одно из физических явлений, не до конца понятных науке.

И в стандартной картине сверхмассивные ЧД окружены звёздами, например, находятся в центре галактики:Рис.3.

Схема квазизвезды с ЧД в центре, источникПо мнению исследователей, ЧД такого типа могла образоваться или по теории Хокинга из плотностных неоднородностей ранней Вселенной, или это коллапс в ЧД газового облака.

Научная статья «Станем ли мы свидетелями взрыва ЧД в ближайшее время?» опубликована 10 сентября 2025 года в журнале Physical Review Letters.

Пространство внутри чёрной дыры за горизонтом событий начинает расширяться, и в какой-то…

Но на какие камеры вообще снимали в космосе раньше и на какие снимают сейчас?

Для использования в космосе Hi-Matic была серьёзно доработана: всю камеру перевернули, добавив ручку, как у пистолета, и добавив к ней спусковой курок.

За шесть экспедиций «Аполлон» астронавты сделали огромное количество снимков, которые важны и для науки, и для её популяризации.

Так что Nikon F4s тоже использовалась в космосе — как и F5, ещё одна флагманская камера конца девяностых — начала нулевых.

Снято на айфон:Этот снимок был сделан экипажем Apollo 17 в 1972 году на плёнку......а этот на Nikon F5 в апреле этого года.

Разбираю конкретный конкурс, в котором единственный производитель проиграл перекупщику — и почему это касается не только заводов, но и всего IT-сектора.

Пока мир обсуждает новые версии нейросетей, в тихой гавани системных утилит произошло не менее важное для многих из нас событие: вышла Ubuntu 26.04, в которой по умолчанию идёт новая версия far2l: 2.8.0.

Самое крутое — это работает не только в графической сессии, но и в TTY, если ваш терминал поддерживает протокол отображения картинок терминала kitty.

Графический бекенд теперь тоже в UbuntuИ последнее (но не в последнюю очередь).

Теперь в Ubuntu LTS есть и графический бекенд far2l (пакет far2l-wx ).

Проект живет благодаря сообществу, и то, что он теперь доступен в официальных репозиториях Ubuntu и Debian «из коробки» — наша общая победа.

Бокс под конденсаторы, бокс под резисторы, бокс под электродвигатели, бокс под светодиоды…31 бокс – всё «под рукой».

Детали перестают помещаться в кармашки, и в конечном итоге кармашки заканчиваются.

К примеру, бокс с батареями всегда стоит на моём столе, а бокс с предохранителями я вообще не помню, когда последний раз открывал.

Тогда я переиграл правило, решив добавлять по одной точке на бокс в день.

Крепите метки на лицевой стороне, не на крышке.

Так выяснилось, что каждый прибор содержит набор и английских и китайских треков (позже оказалось, что это не совсем так и существуют варианты с набором только английских треков).

Возможно также, что прибор имеет записи не только на английском и китайском, но также и на других языках.

Понадобилось некоторое время чтобы догадаться, что последний бит может быть вовсе и не битом числа, а контрольной суммой.

Для проверки пришлось распечатать полную копию имеющегося диска, но и это не помогло.

В 2007 году на экраны вышел фантастический фильм Дэнни Бойла «Пекло» («Sunshine») о пилотируемом полёте к Солнцу корабля «Икар II», защищенного от испепеляющего жара исполинским золотым щитом. Несмотря на смешанные отзывы критиков и зрителей, фильм смог передать величие космоса и ужас той ослепительной бездны, где человек ощущает себя лишь крохотной пылинкой над ревущим океаном первозданного огня.А через одиннадцать лет, 12 августа 2018 года, с мыса Канаверал стартовала ракета Delta IV Heavy с космическим аппаратом Parker Solar Probe, названным в честь Юджина Паркера, американского физика, который в 1958 году предположил существование солнечного ветра.

Но, если смотреть на все плюсы и минусы, лично мне кажется, что Wi-Fi 7 на данный момент ориентирован на бизнес.

Железка настолько свежая, что на рынке просто нет USB стиков от проверенных производителей, а на ноунейм стики отзывы противоречивые.

После трех часов дебага я так и не заставил эту карту стабильно работать на частоте 6 ГГц с платформой Intel.

Звучит сложно и не очень быстро, но на практике такой стек с виртуализацией без проблем забивает канал 25 Гбит/сек.

Скорость всё ещё отличная, на скачивание удалось выжать вплоть до 2,4 Гбит/сек, а на отдачу — до 1,75 Гбит/сек в iperf3.

После этого в СССР построили лишь несколько малых аппаратов мягкой конструкции, а небо окончательно завоевали самолёты.

Расход водорода был большим, и лучшим способом его перевозки были выбраны дирижабли СССР В-12 «Победа» и СССР В-1 бис «Малыш».

Она наследует принципы старой игры (безграничная песочница для создания разных штук) и, что логично, Roblox — инструмента для создания собственных игр и заработка на них.

Эти игры можно будет предложить другим игрокам и зарабатывать на продаже косметических предметов в Steam.

А в будущем созданные игры можно будет даже продавать в Steam.

Либо вы можете никаких игр не делать и играть в игры, созданные сообществом, которых по идее должно становиться только больше.

Так что теоретически — это мощный инструмент не только для приколов, но и для создания качественных игровых прототипов.

Ассоциации компаний связи получила ответ ведомства относительно слухов о 15 ГБ международного трафика для мобильного интернета и планов касательно VPN-сервисов.

Минцифры подтвердило, что действительно хочет сделать международный трафик для мобильных сетей платным.

На выходе мы можем не получить даже 15 ГБ, а цену на каждый дополнительный гигабайт и обсуждать не хочется.

В целом это и раньше было понятно по многочисленным удалениям приложений из магазинов Google и Apple.

Пока, по слухам, введение тарифов на международный трафик через мобильные сети отложили до сентября.

За март россияне умудрились скачать из Google Play более 9,2 млн VPN-сервисов, что в 14 раз превышает прошлогодний показатель, — сообщает «КоммерсантЪ», ссылаясь на данные Digital Budget.

За первый квартал 2026 года загрузки сервисов смены IP достигли 21,27 млн, а скачивания у первых трёх приложений из рейтинга — более 2,5 млн.

И как это сказалось на маркетплейсах и приложениях магазинов, которые с недавнего времени обязаны блокировать доступ с иностранного IP?

Собеседники издания отмечают, что вместо уменьшения таких пользователей снизилась частота посещения российских сервисов и, как следствие, продажи начали падать.

Один из экспертов «Коммерсанта» говорит, что, несмотря на всё большие па…

В чём выгода для Apple — неясно.

Разве что это позволит продавать больше чехлов с MagSafe для базовых iPhone, оставив фичу уникально для линеек Pro и Pro Max.

Как и неясно, сколько внутри компании сторонников такой идеи.

А ведь раньше MagSafe хотели и в iPad добавить — жаль, что не успели!

Надеемся, на такой шаг Apple, радостно продвигающая MagSafe в бюджетном iPhone 17e, не пойдёт.

Компания усердно трудится над вторым поколением портативки и собирается включить в неё все наработки, придуманные в ходе создания Steam Machine, — рассказал инженер Valve Пьер-Лу Гриффе в интервью IGN.

Ранее Valve заявляла, что не собирается выпускать Steam Deck 2, пока не добьётся существенного прироста производительности — даже скачок в 50 % ей не кажется достойным двойки в названии.

При этом доступный на рынке прямо сейчас флагманский чип Ryzen Z2 Extreme при равном энергопотреблении обходит железо Steam Deck лишь на 30−40 %.

По данным инсайдера KeplerL2, ждать второе поколение стоит в лучшем случае в 2028 году, уже после выхода консолей следующего поколения.

К тому времени AMD успеет до…

Совместно с MediaTek и Qualcomm компания запустила разработку процессора для смартфона, который переизобретёт взаимодействие с этими устройствами, — рассказал известный аналитик Мин-Чи Куо.

OpenAI хочет, чтобы смартфон «удовлетворял потребности» пользователя, а не заставлял его искать приложение для этого.

Разделение задач между локальным и серверным ИИ — практика распространённая, но момент про «не ищи приложение, смартфон сам всё сделает» звучит заманчиво.

Это уже не первая попытка OpenAI сделать что-то столь же популярное, как смартфон, но одновременно инновационное.

Ранее сообщалось, что компания работает вместе с Джони Айвом над ИИ-подвеской, которая будет «другом-компаньоном» человека.

Пока смартфоны на Android теряют Ultra в названиях, Apple эту «ультру» прибирает себе.

В ближайшее время могут появиться iPhone Ultra и MacBook Ultra, — сообщает Macworld со ссылкой на источники.

Такие наименования получат первый складной iPhone и MacBook с сенсорным OLED-экраном.

Пока что из «ультр» у Apple в наличии только чипы M1, M2 и M3 Ultra, а также Apple Watch Ultra.

Складной iPhone Ultra должны показать в сентябре, Mac Studio и M5 Ultra — в октябре, а MacBook Ultra на рубеже этого и следующего годов.

Если раньше вы могли смотреть фильм или сериал и не знать, что некоторые сцены отсутствуют, то теперь об этом известит специальный титр, — сообщает «КоммерсантЪ».

Как отмечает эксперт издания, в законодательстве нет требования маркировать удалённые сцены и такой шаг может привести к тому, что люди начнут пиратить чаще.

«КоммерсантЪ» пишет, что самоцензура онлайн-кинотеатров началась в конце прошлого года, чтобы успеть к вступлению в силу закона о проверке кино и сериалов на традиционные ценности (к 1 марта).

Хотя фактически это произошло гораздо раньше: сразу после начала действия закона о запрете пропаганды ЛГБТ* и смены пола.

Главные производители смартфонов урежут флагманские линейки в следующем поколении, — прогнозирует инсайдер Digital Chat Station.

На одном — OnePlus 15, IQOO 15, Redmi K90 Pro Max, realme GT 8 Pro, а на другом — Xiaomi 17 Ultra, OPPO Find X9 Ultra и vivo X300 Ultra.

Пишет, что в следующем поколении мы таких «групповых снимков» можем не увидеть, поэтому надо попрощаться как следует!

Интересно, намекает ли Digital Chat Station, что будут отменены приемники вообще всех смартфонов с фото?

Комментаторы и СМИ считают, что первыми претендентами на вылет окажутся Xiaomi 18 Ultra и наследник realme GT 8 Pro.

Не успели мы намучаться с iOS 26.4.1, как появилась ещё одна причина тревожиться за свой айфон.

Вся линейка актуальных iPhone 17 может не включиться, если после полной разрядки вы, что логично, подключили их к проводной зарядке.

Бенджамин Майо с 9to5Mac внезапно столкнулся с этим после выключения своего iPhone Air.

Звучит это как их скрытая пропаганда, честное слово.

Кабель к каждому айфону идёт в комплекте (пока ещё), а тут, чтобы завести гаджет, нужно иметь при себе отдельную зарядку.

Вместе с этим в Resynced значительно улучшился весь визуал, начиная от высокополигональных моделей и заканчивая новым освещением и трассировкой лучей.

Слухи оказались верны и Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced действительно выйдет 9 июля на ПК, Xbox Series и PlayStation 5.

Game Pass Ultimate вместо 30 долларов стал стоить 23, а PC Game Pass снизился с 16,5 долларов до 14.

Одну из главных ролей может исполнить Майкл Б. Джордан («Грешники»), но его участие в проекте пока не подтверждено.

Претендентов на фильм несколько, но Маккуорри настаивает на премьере в кинотеатрах, так что Netflix отпадает сразу.

Sony откажется от эстетичного вертикального блока камер в пользу невнятного квадрата.

Sony упорно отказывается прятать фронталку под экран, так что снизу и сверху дисплея нас ждут толстые рамки.

Восьмое поколение XPERIA 1 станет на треть миллиметра толще и шире, но сохранит прежний экран с диагонально 6,5 дюйма.

Как ожидается, Sony представит XPERIA 1 VIII уже в следующем месяце.

Предыдущая модель стоила космические $1700, так что восьмое поколение вряд ли обойдётся дешевле.

Насколько страшными могут быть презентации?

Разработчик-энтузиаст опубликовал на itch.io тестовую версию хоррора, собранного в Power Point.

Средств изобразительности у него было мало, но в игре можно смотреть анимации, слушать звуки и тыкать на разные элементы экрана, в том числе на гиперссылки.

Зато банки стали больше обращаться к другой мере реструктуризации — неначислению процентов за просрочку платежа: этот формат в марте текущего года применили в 39,2% случаев.

Это почти на 5% чаще, чем месяц назад, и на 10% чаще, чем год назад.

В марте 2026 банки меньше остальных мер обращались к снижению размеров платежа — всего в 1,7% случаев.

По мнению разработчика проекта OrcaSlicer-bambulab обвинения беспочвенны и он ничего не нарушал, поскольку использовал для обеспечения совместимости с 3D-принтерами компоненты из репозитория Bambu Studio, распространяемого компанией Bambu Lab под лицензией AGPLv3.

После полугода разработки опубликован релиз десктоп-окружения Trinity R14.1.6, продолжающего развитие кодовой базы KDE 3.5.x и Qt 3. Бинарные пакеты в ближайшее время будут подготовлены для Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL/CentOS, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE и других дистрибутивов.

Конан Кудо (Conan Kudo), член технического комитета проекта Fedora, на прошедшей несколько дней назад online-встрече участников группы ELN (Enterprise Linux Next) упомянул желание компании Microsoft перевести дистрибутив Azure Linux частично на пакетную базу Fedora Linux. Для достижения более высокой производительности в Azure Linux требуется наличие сборок пакетов для архитектуры x86_64-v3 и разработчики Microsoft намеревались создать форк пакетной базы Fedora, пересобранный для x86_64-v3.

Представлен выпуск дистрибутива CachyOS 260426, основанного на пакетной базе Arch Linux, применяющего непрерывную модель доставки обновлений и пользующийся популярностью у любителей компьютерных игр. По данным сервиса ProtonDB проект CachyOS является самым популярным дистрибутивом Linux (доля 21.1%), применяемым геймерами.

Линус Торвальдс принял в состав ядра Linux 7.1, релиз которого ожидается в середине июня, набор патчей, исключающих из ядра Ethernet-драйверы, ранее рекомендованные для удаления Эндрю Ланном (Andrew Lunn), сопровождающим сетевые драйверы в ядре Linux. Помимо изначально предложенных Ethernet-драйверов из ядра исключены подсистема ISDN, реализации протоколов AX.25, CAIF и Bluetooth CMTP (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface Message Transport Protocol), а также драйверы yellowfin (Yellowfin Gigabit-NIC), hamachi (Hamachi GNIC-II), hamradio (Amateur Radio), inport и logibm (busmouse).

Карл Ричелл (Carl Richell), основатель и руководитель компании System76, разрабатывающей дистрибутив Pop!_OS и среду рабочего стола COSMIC, добился внесения поправок в продвигаемый в штате Колорадо законопроект CO SB51 (Colorado Senate Bill 51), определяющий требования по верификации возраста в операционных системах. В текст законопроекта добавлено исключение, выводящее из области действия будущего закона дистрибутивы и приложения, поставляемые под открытыми лицензиями.

Представлен релиз языка системного программирования Nim 2.2.10.

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

Nim позиционируется как системный язык, подходящий для разработки от встраиваемых систем до веб-серверов, с акцентом на эффективность, безопасность памяти и удобство разработки.

В std/parseopt добавлена поддержка нескольких режимов парсинга аргументов командной строки через перечисление CliMode: Nim (по умолчанию), а также экспериментальные Lax и Gnu.

Инструменты и документация: В генератор документации добавлен флаг "--raw" для отключения рендеринга разметки в JSON-выводе.

Компания Canonical опубликовала предварительные итоги независимого аудита безопасности инструментария uutils coreutils (Rust Coreutils), написанного на языке Rust и частично применяемого в Ubuntu вместо пакета GNU Coreutils. Аудит был выполнен компанией Zellic, имеющей опыт анализа уязвимостей в проектах на языке Rust. В ходе проверки было выявлено 113 проблем с безопасностью.

В PackageKit, D-Bus-прослойке, унифицирующей операции управления пакетами, выявлена уязвимость Pack2TheRoot (CVE-2026-41651), позволяющая непривилегированному пользователю установить или удалить произвольный пакет и получить root-доступ к системе. Проблема проявляется начиная с версии 1.0.2 (2014 год) и устранена в выпуске PackageKit 1.3.5.

В кодовую базу Firefox добавлен движок блокирования рекламы adblock-rust, развиваемый разработчиками браузера Brave. Переход Brave на adblock-rust позволил снизить потребление памяти на 75% по сравнению ранее используемым движком - после замены браузер Brave стал занимать на 45 МБ меньше памяти в конфигурации по умолчанию. Экономия достигается благодаря задействованию вместо структур Vecs и HashMaps формата FlatBuffers для компактного хранения правил блокировки. Движок написан на языке Rust и распространяется под лицензией MPL 2.0.

Опубликован дистрибутив Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon", который отнесён к выпускам с длительным сроком поддержки (LTS), обновления для которых формируются в течение 15 лет (5 лет - общедоступные, плюс ещё 10 лет для пользователей сервиса Ubuntu Pro). Установочные образы созданы для Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu, UbuntuKylin (редакция для Китая), Ubuntu Unity, Edubuntu и Ubuntu Cinnamon.

В браузерном движке Gecko выявлена уязвимость (CVE-2026-6770), позволяющая формировать уникальные идентификаторы для отслеживания открытия из одного браузера разных сайтов. Проблема проявляется во всех браузерах на основе Firefox, включая Tor Browser, и работает даже в режиме приватного просмотра. Идентификаторы действуют в рамках текущего процесса браузера и сбрасываются после перезапуска браузера. Уязвимость устранена в выпусках Firefox 150/140.10.0 и Tor Browser 15.0.10.

In April 2026, Canonical disclosed 44 CVEs in uutils, the Rust reimplementation of GNU coreutils that ships by default since 25.10.

If you write systems code in Rust, this is the most concentrated look at where Rust’s safety ends that you’ll likely find anywhere right now.

A &Path in Rust looks like a value, but remember that to the kernel it’s just a name.

The original --preserve-root check in chmod was literally this:if recursive && preserve_root && file == Path :: new ( "/" ) { return Err ( PreserveRoot ); }That comparison is bypassed by anything that resolves to / but isn’t spelled / .

Here’s the fix:fn is_root (file : & Path ) -> bool { matches!

Not too long ago, the internet was a place you visited.

Always on, always watching, the internet is no longer a place to arrive at and explore but instead a panopticon-like enivronment that we are trapped within.

Where the early internet once required intention, place, and presence, today it saturates daily life in ways that erode our capacity for rootedness, attention, and freedom; to recover a healthier digital culture, we must reimagine the internet not as an omnipresent miasma of distraction and surveillance but as a place we choose to enter—and leave—on human terms.

This has resulted in fractured attention, anxiety, and sadly, a diminished sense of place and belonging even with the con…

GitHub was part of the social infrastructure of Open Source for a very long time.

GitHub changed how Open Source feels, and later npm and other systems changed how dependencies feel.

A Smaller WorldBefore GitHub, Open Source was a much smaller world.

What GitHub Gave UsIt is easy now to talk only about GitHub’s failures, of which there are currently many, but that would be unfair: GitHub was, and continues to be, a tremendous gift to Open Source.

But maybe the most underappreciated thing GitHub did was archival work: GitHub became a library.

This attack and test was a $12 domain, a single Wikipedia edit, and about twenty minutes of my time.

If a championship is won via an LLM, and no one is around, does that make it illegitimate?

GitHub has announced that it will be shifting to a usage-based billing model for its GitHub Copilot AI service starting on June 1.

The move is pitched as a way to “better align pricing with actual usage” and a necessary step to keep Copilot financially sustainable amid surging demand for limited AI computing resources.

GitHub Copilot subscribers currently receive an allocation of monthly “requests” and “premium requests,” which are spent whenever they ask Copilot for help from an AI model.

His latest project: discovering a novel means of measuring the flavor profile of coffee simply by sending an electrical current through a sample beverage.

The flavors in espresso derive from roughly 2,000 different compounds that are extracted from the coffee grounds during brewing.

That, in turn, depends on controlling water flow and pressure as the liquid percolates through the coffee grounds.

The model is based on how lithium ions propagate through a battery’s electrodes, similar to how caffeine molecules dissolve from coffee grounds.

But this was the first time scientists had rigorously tested that well-known hack and measured the actual charge on different types of coffee.

When Super Cruise debuted in the Cadillac CT6 back in 2017, it showed there was a responsible way to give drivers a hands-free assistance system.

That renewal rate is close to 40 percent for GM owners with Super Cruise, according to Haq, which is free for the first three years then is tied to an active OnStar subscription.

“It really shows how Super Cruise is passing what I call the toothbrush test.

So it’s really past that kind of stickiness test,” Haq told me.

When I first tested the system in a CT6 in 2018, it included more than 160,000 miles (258,000 km); now you can use Super Cruise on close to 700,000 miles (1.1 million km) of highways.

If you look at a Neanderthal skull and a Homo sapiens skull, they’re visibly different: Neanderthal skulls are lower and longer, whereas ours tend to be rounder.

However, those differences probably don’t say much about the brains within them, according to a recent study, which compared MRI scans of modern people’s brains with casts of the inside of Neanderthal skulls.

The results suggest that there’s more variation in brain size among modern people than between Neanderthals and Pleistocene Homo sapiens.

For years, researchers have studied endocasts of Neanderthal skulls, trying to piece together how their brains were different or similar to ours.

The outcome could radically change the AI landscape, impacting how OpenAI runs and what resources the firm will have to uphold its mission.

If Musk wins, OpenAI’s hopes of growing a for-profit arm that can fund the nonprofit could be dashed.

Additionally, Brockman and Altman could be dropped as officers, and Altman risks losing his seat on OpenAI’s board.

If Altman wins, OpenAI’s mission could be lost—with the AI startup perhaps following in the footsteps of Google, which famously vowed that “Don’t be evil” drove its business decisions, but no longer seems bound by that unofficial motto.

Americans lost at least $2.1 billion in 2025 to scams that originated on social media, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

The FTC said Americans reported losing $1.1 billion last year to investment scams that started on social media.

More than 40 percent of Americans who lost money through a social media scam last year blamed shopping-related ads, many of which took them to "unfamiliar websites," the FTC said.

The agency also highlighted the problem of romance scams that start on social media.

The iPhone maker has today announced Ted Lasso season four will debut August 5, with new episodes arriving every Wednesday through October 7.

This time out, Ted and Beard have returned to Richmond to take over coaching its women’s team as it languishes in the second division.

Ted Lasso wrapped up its initial three-season arc back in 2023, wrapping up its storylines in a fairly definitive manner.

But, given the focus on the women’s team, there’s a whole new crop of cast members, including Sex Education’s Tanya Reynolds and Andor’s Faye Marsay.

The separate agreements were detailed in a press release from the Interior Department, which named Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind as the companies that have voluntarily agreed to end their current leases for a combined $885 million.

Both firms have also said they don’t intend to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the US going forward.

Bluepoint Wind is an early-stages wind farm located off the coast of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind, which is similarly in its infancy, is of…

Now Traeger is back with two new griddles, the two- and four-burner Irontop, which actually offer more cooking area than their predecessors.

Traeger promises the Irontop models will offer fast preheating, precise temperature control, edge-to-edge heating and a durable construction.

The Irontop griddles also have integrated wind guards to insure reliable heating in windy conditions.

The Irontop griddles sit atop carts with four casters.

Amazon has today announced a software update for both the Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft which will bring dark mode to both e-readers.

Given the option is available on plenty of other Kindle devices, its omission here always felt like something Amazon was just getting around to addressing.

In addition, the update brings Smart Shapes to notebooks, enabling users to add pre-drawn lines, arrows, circles, triangles and rectangles from the toolbar.

The update is rolling out across the ecosystem across the next few days, further empowering would-be journal scribes using these tablets.

For tablets like the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, it’s clear Amazon needs to build out the Scribe half …

ASUS is often best when it's weird, and this year at CES 2026 the company decided to resurrect one of its weirdest laptops ever: the ROG Zephyrus Duo.

ASUS has now opened up pre-orders for the Zephyrus Duo and revealed that pricing will start at a breathtaking $4,500.

The Zephyrus Duo is the "world's first 16-inch dual-screen gaming laptop," according to ASUS.

It boasts a pair of 3K HDR OLED touchscreens that offer a combined 21 inches of diagonal screen space.

The Zyphyrus Duo is now available for pre-order from ASUS or partners including Newegg starting at $4,500 for the RTX 5070Ti version or (brace for it) $5,500 for the RTX 5090 version.

Not long ago, high-quality wireless mic systems cost over $500 and required a bulky transmitter and lav mic wire tucked under the subject’s shirt.

Now, DJI has released the Mic Mini 2 (around $100) as a mild update to the original at a much lower price.

DJI/Engadget 88 100 Expert Score DJI Mic Mini 2 DJI’s Mic Mini 2 offers a great mix of sound quality, range and features at a very low price.

The Mic Mini 2 retains other functions from the original Mini like automatic limiting to prevent clipping.

It’s not worth an upgrade from the Mic Mini, but if you’re buying your first wireless mic and don’t want to spend a bundle, it’s a great option.

Magic: The Gathering Arena developers at Hasbro subsidiary Wizards of the Coast are set to join the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the union announced.

The CWA says it has secured a "supermajority" among workers in favor of unionization for the chapter, called United Wizards of the Coast (UWOTC-CWA).

Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisementThe push to unionize was triggered back in 2023 following mass Hasbro layoffs that affected nearly 2,000 workers, software engineers told Kotaku.

Over 4,000 workers have organized across the industry as part of CWA's CODE (Campaign to Organize Digital Employees), according to the union.

"Every worker deserves job security, fair compensation, and…

A document posted by OpenAI on Github as part of the open-sourcing for Codex CLI, OpenAI’s most recent flagship coding agent, contains what looks like the entire system prompt for GPT-5.5 in a coding context.

And it seems to correct for the model’s past addiction to talking about whimsical creatures both natural and supernatural.

Here’s the relevant section (emphasis added):“provide the highest-signal context instead of describing everything exhaustively.

On Tuesday, this goblin issue became a meme, with users suggesting that some sort of “Goblin Mode,” could be toggled on and off.

Some dared to assert that OpenAI might be doing all this goblin stuff for attention at what is, after all,…

And I believe a series of WWE YouTube documentaries apparently made with glitchy AI tools may just be a form of primitive, digital Nigel Richards.

The YouTube videos in question, apparently unearthed by a game designer and artist named Sam Blye, also known as ompuco, have gone viral on Bluesky over the past day or so.

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time.

All of the scorpions had various kinds of metal in their pincers and stingers, albeit in unique, sometimes unexpected configurations.

Zinc was the most prevalent metal found at the very tip of the scorpions’ stingers, for instance, followed by a layer of manganese.

Though scorpions might rely on them in different ways, they’re probably all at least a little heavy metal, the researchers say.

“Arguably, that is exactly what this study shows, though it is important to note in this study we tested 18 species,” Campbell said.

It would be nice to look for metals in an even greater variety of scorpion species, for instance.

And Yahya Abdul-Mateen II played the role of struggling actor James Williams, aka Wonder Man.

However, he wanted to carefully approach his way into that world, and he wasn’t sure at first when Wonder Man came along.

The character Marvel wanted him to play was also part of the pitch.

“I wanted to have that conversation with him to say, ‘Me saying yes is a huge gamble because I really, really, really like what you all do.

Fast-forward to now, and Wonder Man is a hit with a second season in the works.

Elon Musk took the stand in a California courtroom today to ask for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s ousting.

Still, it wasn’t the worst thing that happened to the executive on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the OpenAI board has questioned Altman on his “efforts to secure even more computing power despite the business slowdown,” the WSJ wrote.

The report also claims that OpenAI has continued to miss multiple monthly revenue targets in 2026 due to Anthropic’s success.

Around the same time, a report from The Information said that Altman and Friar were at odds over OpenAI’s readiness for an IPO.

“If we make it okay to loot a charity, the entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed.

Anyway, you’re not going to believe this, but Elon Musk’s charitable organization, the Musk Foundation, primarily gives to other organizations controlled by Musk.

While it did give out more than it handed out the previous year, more than three-quarters of the $474 million in charitable giving were charitably given to other Musk-linked organizations.

If the median American gave at the same rate as Musk, they’d do about $30 of charitable giving per year.

And, as we established, when Musk actually does give out money, it’s mostly to himself.

A new report suggests that Daredevil: Born Again season two, which has only two episodes remaining, has only gotten about half the audience it did from season one.

ComicBook has data from a company called Luminate that reads, “Through the first five episodes of each season, Daredevil: Born Again season two has accumulated 4,515,000 season views, 10,867,000 hours watched, and 652,000,000 minutes watched.

Season one, tracked across the same five-week window, generated 8,357,000 season views, 24,000,000 hours watched, and 1,440,004,000 minutes watched.

Daredevil: Born Again season two has, in our mind, definitely been more entertaining than season one.

As robotaxi services expand into more cities and automakers continue adding driver-assistance features to consumer vehicles, more Americans than ever believe fully autonomous cars are on the way.

Overall, the survey, which was conducted last fall, found that 31% of Americans, roughly one in three, believe driverless cars will be commonly used in the U.S. within the next five years.

Still, even if Americans believe the technology is coming, most are not interested in personally adopting it.

The poll arrives as autonomous vehicle technology continues advancing and robotaxi companies rapidly expand operations across the country.

Just 6% of Americans said U.S. roads would be safer if every vehi…

Just when you thought Stranger Things was over, it keeps creeping back from the Upside Down.

Then, last week, we got Tales From ’85, the animated spin-off series set between Stranger Things‘ second and third seasons, that added little interest beyond nostalgia for itself, some fresh plot holes, and a pretty great soundtrack.

“There’s more work ahead for the Hawkins Investigators Club: Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 has been renewed for season two.

The study is based on data collected by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from late 2022 (when ChatGPT kicked off the AI craze) to mid-2025.

Cloudflare reported in September 2025 that nearly one-third of all internet traffic was driven by bots.

But the Internet Archive study goes even further than previous evidence, exploring whether bots have taken over the internet and whether this is leading to the widely anticipated outcomes.

Many people fear that as AI infiltrates the internet, the language and accuracy of the internet will change along with it.

This study is just the beginning, and could become a useful tool to help users discern credible information on the internet.

There were already few deals better in video games than the free trial to Final Fantasy XIV.

Now trial players could experience 2019’s Shadowbringers too—and with it, access to what might be one of the most beloved Final Fantasy stories in the franchise’s entire history.

XIV‘s free trial was already an absurd amount of bang for your buck (which, again, is zero bucks!

Shadowbringers remains a high watermark for Final Fantasy XIV that it arguably still, well, exists in the shadow of.

Shadowbringers isn’t just Final Fantasy XIV at its best and most emblematic, but Final Fantasy at large—and anyone who wants to understand that can now do so with very little in the way of restrictions.

The U.S. Commerce Department has reportedly closed an investigation into whether Meta employees and contractors were able to read the contents of encrypted WhatsApp messages.

The agent reportedly wrote, “There is no limit to the type of WhatsApp message that can be viewed by Meta.

Meta strongly denied that anyone but the intended recipient could read WhatsApp messages since they’re encrypted.

“The claim that WhatsApp can access people’s encrypted communications is patently false,” a WhatsApp spokesperson told Gizmodo in a statement emailed Tuesday.

Content moderators who worked for one of those contractors, Accenture, were reportedly interviewed about their ability to access WhatsApp messag…

The idea is that you restrict the training data provided to the model to material published before a given date.

In the case of Talkie, aka 13B 1930 LM, the cutoff is, as the name suggests, the year 1930.

The really interesting question, though, is how reliably an LLM trained on data that cuts off at a certain date can predict what will happen after that date.

Talkie is trained on data scanned from physical sources, making reliable character recognition facilities extremely important.

There’s also the challenge of what the authors call “contamination,” i.e., the leakage of post-1930s material into the training data.

Taylor Swift is very protective of her image in the public eye.

Two of the trademarks are audio of her voice, the first saying, “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift,” and the other saying, “Hey, it’s Taylor.” You know, classic Taylor Swift things to say.

It’s described in the application as “a photograph of Taylor Swift holding a pink guitar, with a black strap and wearing a multi-colored iridescent bodysuit with silver boots.

That is a growing concern for celebrities, and Swift has already been central to several AI scandals.

The approach being laid out by McConaughey and copied by Swift is still legally untested and may prove difficult to actually implement.

Everyone felt like Andy, the owner of the toys, leaving for college and passing those toys to a new child was a perfect way to go out.

That too felt like a suitable ending, with Woody finally breaking off from the group to be with the toy he loves.

That basically makes it sound like Pixar already has a few broad ideas for Toy Story 6 and Toy Story 7.

Finally, it’ll have to do it without Stanton, who says that Toy Story 5 will be the last Pixar movie he ever directs.

(Wait, they already did those in Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3.)

OpenAI has a goblin problem.

It is unclear why OpenAI felt compelled to spell this out for Codex—or indeed why its models might want to discuss goblins or pigeons in the first place.

“I was wondering why my claw suddenly became a goblin with codex 5.5,” one user wrote on X.

“Been using it a lot lately and it actually can't stop speaking of bugs as ‘gremlins’ and ‘goblins’ it's hilarious,” posted another.

The discovery quickly became its own meme, inspiring AI-generated scenes of goblins in data centers, and plug-ins for Codex that put it in a playful “goblin mode.”

Elon Musk and Sam Altman appeared in a federal courtroom together for the first time on Tuesday as they fight over OpenAI’s decade-long evolution and what it means for the company’s future.

As the first witness on the stand, Musk immediately sought to frame his case as more than just about OpenAI.

Musk has been concerned about computers becoming smarter than people “since he was a young man in college,” his attorney Steven Molo told jurors.

“Elon felt he had to do something.”Around the same time, Musk met with Altman, a then-30-year-old investor “whom he didn’t know very well,” Molo said.

“My perspective is [OpenAI] exists because Larry Page called me a speciesist for being pro-humanity,” M…

Of all the gay hookup apps Brennan Zubrick uses, Sniffies, a cruising app for men interested in discreet sex-positive casual encounters with other men, is by far his favorite.

Tinder and Hinge parent company Match Group announced on Monday an investment of $100 million into Sniffies.

The deal gives Match Group a large minority share and the choice to become the sole owner later on.

The Instagram post announcing the news was inundated with negative reactions, as users expressed worry over the strategic partnership.

Though it remains to be seen how Gallagher will position Sniffies in the months ahead, already users are saying this marks the beginning of the end for the app.

Hundreds of workers in Ireland tasked with refining Meta’s AI models have been told that their jobs are at risk as the company embarks on a sweeping new round of layoffs, according to documents obtained by WIRED.

The affected workers are employed by the Dublin-based firm Covalen, which handles various content moderation and labeling services for Meta.

“This has happened before.”In all, more than 700 employees stand to potentially lose their jobs at Covalen, according to an email reviewed by WIRED.

Their job is to check material generated by Meta’s AI models against the company’s rules barring dangerous and illegal content.

“It’s essentially training the AI to take over our jobs,” claims ano…

The UK’s Advanced Research and Innovation Agency (ARIA) was established in 2023 with the goal of pursuing “high-risk, high-reward” moonshots in sectors ranging from bolstering food security to new ways of ramping up human immunity.

With more than £1 billion (about $1.3 billion) worth of government funding earmarked between now and 2030, one of ARIA’s most ambitious programs is a £69 million initiative that aims to develop more tailored ways of modulating the human brain.

According to ARIA program director Jacques Carolan, the unifying link is that they are all disorders of brain circuitry.

“Sometimes there are circuits that are overconnected, that are underconnected, there’s different brain…

Authorities announced arrests linked to misleading videos, AI-generated clips, illegal filming, and the spread of misinformation.

For many residents, the reaction was one of surprise: How could a screenshot, forwarded video, or social media post become a criminal matter?

UAE law Article 52 criminalizes using the internet to spread false news, misleading rumors, or content contrary to official announcements, as well as material that could disturb public peace, spread panic, or harm public order.

In normal circumstances, the minimum penalty is one year in prison and a fine of 100,000 UAE dirhams.

During epidemics, crises, emergencies, or disasters, those figures double to a minimum of two yea…

The UAE has announced that it will leave OPEC and OPEC+ effective May 1, ending a membership that began in 1967—four years before the UAE itself was founded as a country.

This signals a turning point in the UAE's role in global energy.

The EIA estimates that Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain shut in 7.5 million barrels per day of crude oil production in March, and 9.1 million barrels per day in April.

However, the statement framed the exit as policy-driven rather than reactive, noting that "underlying trends point to sustained growth in global energy demand over the medium to long term."

The UAE stressed that its exit does not signal a retreat from global energy responsibi…

It's no surprise that, as such a nighttime reader, the lack of dark mode on the Kindle Colorsoft or Kindle Scribe Colorsoft was a big complaint for me.

Amazon announced that dark mode is rolling out to Colorsoft Kindle devices starting today and continuing over the coming weeks.

But it'll work on all Colorsoft devices (and so far, only Colorsoft devices, but we'll see if that changes over time).

Amazon says you can access this by clicking on dark mode in the Quick Actions menu, and you'll be able to customize what gets dark mode from there.

Greg Hogan, an affiliate of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will serve as acting assistant commissioner of the Technology Transformation Services (TTS), a unit within the General Services Administration (GSA).

Hogan came to the government in January 2025 from a startup called Comma.ai, which works on self-automation technology for cars.

Another email asked government workers to account for what they were working on each week—DOGE later used AI to analyze responses.

In September, Hogan left OPM to join the National Design Service (NDS), run by AirBnB co-founder Joe Gebbia, who was also affiliated with DOGE.

It was developed in part by the US Digital Service, which i…

A controversial bill in Colorado that would have undone some repair protections in the state has failed.

The new bill, SB26-090, would have carved out an exception to those repair protections for “critical infrastructure,” a loosely defined term that repair advocates worried could be applied to just about any technology.

SB26-090 was introduced during a Colorado Senate hearing on April 2 and supported by lobbying efforts from companies such as Cisco and IBM.

The bill then passed in the Colorado Senate on April 16.

On Monday evening, the bill was discussed in a long, delayed hearing in the Colorado House’s State, Civic, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee.

By certifying third parties, Neurable expects its tech to be in a “flood” of consumer gadgets this year and next.

With the licensing model, we could see more of Neurable's tech in everyday head-based wearables.

The headphones use built-in electroencephalography (EEG) sensors to monitor brain waves.

Now, HP-owned gaming brand HyperX is releasing a gaming headset with Neurable's technology, and it's all about improving human performance while esports gaming.

Neurable's tech is “invisible” in these types of gadgets.

And with the rise of agentic AI, more activity is being carried out by agents on behalf of humans—creating different risks that something could go awry.

Now we’re at a similar precipice with agentic agents and agentic interactions, agentic commerce where we have an opportunity to not go down that same path and establish some foundational principles that will allow for more trusted interactions."

Developing technical standards that are widely applicable across industries and facilitate interoperability is a painstaking process that often takes years.

But given the rapid advancement and adoption of agentic AI, representatives of the FIDO Alliance, Google, and Mastercard all emphasized that th…

My wife is just as guilty as I, and we even joke—as we buy even more pieces of art—that it will look great under the bed.

One day we will get around to framing them, but for now we’re enjoying the lazy, luxury option of the InkPoster Tela 28.5, the best E Ink display I’ve ever seen and arguably the nicest frame I’ve hung too.

The ability to display and send pictures to Gran’s digital picture frame (or Alexa/Google smart display) is appealing, but until recently, the screens have always been a bit of a disappointment.

Backlit LCD panels in questionable resolutions do a job, but they are rarely mistaken for a proper photograph or art print.

A smart home assistant, usually folded into a smart speaker, will let you command your smart home with your voice and run your various routines.

The AI race lately has felt a bit like a game of tennis: first, Anthropic releases a new, pricey state-of-the-art proprietary model for general users (Claude Opus 4.7), then, a week or so later, its rival OpenAI volleys back with one of its own (GPT-5.5). And all the while, Chinese companies like DeepSeek and even Xiaomi are seeking to appeal to users by playing a different game: nearing the frontier, but with open licensing and far lower costs. So it's a big surprise when a new, affordable, highly performant open source contender from the U.S. emerges. Today, we got one from the smaller, lesser-known U.S. AI startup, Poolside, founded in San Francisco in 2023.The company launched its two n…

Mistral AI, the Paris-based artificial intelligence company valued at €11.7 billion ($13.8 billion), today released Workflows in public preview — a production-grade orchestration layer designed to move enterprise AI systems out of proofs of concept and into the business processes that generate revenue.The product, which launches as part of Mistral's Studio platform, is the company's clearest articulation yet of a thesis that is quietly reshaping the enterprise AI market: that the bottleneck for organizations adopting AI is no longer the model itself, but the infrastructure required to run it reliably at scale."What we're seeing today is that organizations are struggling to go beyond isolate…

Microsoft and OpenAI on Monday announced a sweeping overhaul of the partnership that has defined the commercial AI era, dismantling key pillars of exclusivity and revenue-sharing that bound the two companies together for years and replacing them with a looser, time-limited arrangement that gives both sides far more freedom to pursue rival relationships.The amended agreement, disclosed simultaneously in blog posts from both companies, marks the most significant restructuring since Microsoft first invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 — and it transforms what was once the most consequential exclusive technology alliance in a generation into something that more closely resembles a strategic bu…

Xiaomi, the Chinese firm best known for its smartphones and electric vehicles, has lately been shipping some incredibly affordable and high-powered open source AI large language models.The trend continued today with the release of Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5 and Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro, both available under the permissive, enterprise-friendly MIT License, making them suitable for use in production in commercial applications. Enterprises and individual/independent developers can now download either of the models (and more Xiaomi open source options) directly from Hugging Face, modify them as needed, and run them locally or on virtual private clouds as they see fit. The most notable attribute of these mode…

AI R&D runs on a cycle of hypothesis, experiment, and analysis — each step demanding substantial manual engineering effort. A new framework from researchers at SII-GAIR aims to close that bottleneck by automating the full optimization loop for training data, model architectures, and learning algorithms.A new framework called ASI-EVOLVE, developed by researchers at the Generative Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (SII-GAIR), aims to solve this bottleneck. Designed as an agentic system for AI-for-AI research, it uses a continuous "learn-design-experiment-analyze" cycle to automate the optimization of the foundational AI stack.In experiments, this self-improvement loop autonomously discover…

Presented by EdgeverveSupply chains are where legacy integration models reach their limits. As partner networks expand and operational volatility increases, traditional middleware is buckling under costs and complexity. That’s why supply chain has emerged as a proving ground for automation‑led integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), a next-generation model designed to absorb constant change without rewriting the stack.This article takes a look at today’s supply chains, the limits of legacy integration, how automation changes the iPaaS model, possible downsides to an upgrade, and questions leaders should be asking about whether next-gen iPaaS makes sense for them.Why now? Supply chains ha…

Enterprise teams that fine-tune their RAG embedding models for better precision may be unintentionally degrading the retrieval quality those pipelines depend on, according to new research from Redis.The paper, "Training for Compositional Sensitivity Reduces Dense Retrieval Generalization," tested what happens when teams train embedding models for compositional sensitivity. That is the ability to catch sentences that look nearly identical but mean something different — "the dog bit the man" versus "the man bit the dog," or a negation flip that reverses a statement's meaning entirely. That training consistently broke dense retrieval generalization, how well a model retrieves correctly across …

The most expensive AI failure I have seen in enterprise deployments did not produce an error. No alert fired. No dashboard turned red. The system was fully operational, it was just consistently, confidently wrong. That is the reliability gap. And it is the problem most enterprise AI programs are not built to catch.We have spent the last two years getting very good at evaluating models: benchmarks, accuracy scores, red-team exercises, retrieval quality tests. But in production, the model is rarely where the system breaks. It breaks in the infrastructure layer, the data pipelines feeding it, the orchestration logic wrapping it, the retrieval systems grounding it, the downstream workflows trus…

The stochastic challengeTraditional software is predictable: Input A plus function B always equals output C. This determinism allows engineers to develop robust tests. On the other hand, generative AI is stochastic and unpredictable. The exact same prompt often yields different results on Monday versus Tuesday, breaking the traditional unit testing that engineers know and love.To ship enterprise-ready AI, engineers cannot rely on mere “vibe checks” that pass today but fail when customers use the product. Product builders need to adopt a new infrastructure layer: The AI Evaluation Stack.This framework is informed by my extensive experience shipping AI products for Fortune 500 enterprise cust…

During Operation Lunar Peek in November 2024, attackers gained unauthenticated remote admin access — and eventual root — across more than 13,000 exposed Palo Alto Networks management interfaces. Palo Alto Networks scored CVE-2024-0012 at 9.3 and CVE-2024-9474 at 6.9 under CVSS v4.0. NVD scored the same pair 9.8 and 7.2 under CVSS v3.1. Two scoring systems. Two different answers for the same vulnerabilities. The 6.9 fell below patch thresholds. Admin access appeared required. The 9.3 sat queued for maintenance. Segmentation would hold."Adversaries circumvent [severity ratings] by chaining vulnerabilities together," Adam Meyers, SVP of Counter Adversary Operations at CrowdStrike, told Venture…

The whale has resurfaced. DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup offshoot of High-Flyer Capital Management quantitative analysis firm, became a near-overnight sensation globally in January 2025 with the release of its open source R1 model that matched proprietary U.S. giants.It's been an epoch in AI since then, and while DeepSeek has released several updates to that model and its other V3 series, the international AI and business community has been largely waiting with baited breath for the follow-up to the R1 moment.Now it's arrived with last night's release of DeepSeek-V4, a 1.6-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model available free under commercially-friendly open source MIT License,…

Eighty-five percent of enterprises are running AI agent pilots, but only 5% have moved those agents into production. In an exclusive interview at RSA Conference 2026, Cisco President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel said that the gap comes down to one thing: trust — and that closing it separates market dominance from bankruptcy. He also disclosed a mandate that will reshape Cisco's 90,000-person engineering organization.The problem is not rogue agents. The problem is the absence of a trust architecture.The trust deficit behind a 5% production rateA recent Cisco survey of major enterprise customers found that 85% have AI agent pilot programs underway. Only 5% moved those agents into pro…

There is a war brewing between AI and consulting. Akin to an armies slow march towards the castle, a new technology is coming to dethrone the expert guessers of Mckinsey, Nielsen, Gartner, Publicis and the rest. Any consulting that involves analyzing people (think all of marketing, research, polling, etc.) will have to reckon with the technology of “synthetic audiences”.Synthetic audiences aim to generate digital versions of people that can then be surveyed almost instantly and affordably, but not as accurately. Think Tamagochi but with people. By prompting AI with information about a person, we ask AI to get in their shoes, simulate the thoughts, behaviors, priorities and decisions of real…

For several weeks, a growing chorus of developers and AI power users claimed that Anthropic’s flagship models were losing their edge. Users across GitHub, X, and Reddit reported a phenomenon they described as "AI shrinkflation"—a perceived degradation where Claude seemed less capable of sustained reasoning, more prone to hallucinations, and increasingly wasteful with tokens. Critics pointed to a measurable shift in behavior, alleging that the model had moved from a "research-first" approach to a lazier, "edit-first" style that could no longer be trusted for complex engineering. While the company initially pushed back against claims of "nerfing" the model to manage demand, the mounting evide…

Now, Microsoft has released the source code and notes for PC-DOS 1.00, the first DOS release for the IBM PC.

That would have led to a very different world with Unix as the top desktop operating system from then until today.

Microsoft buys 86‑DOS for $100,000In the real world, Gates and company had to whip up an operating system as quickly as possible.

This new European office suite is a private, open-source alternativeIt's not just DOS's source code that Microsoft is sharing.

Having a clearly labeled DOS 1.0 code drop that ties back to the original IBM PC era gives researchers a concrete reference point for that tangle of early DOS builds.

The future of UI is increasingly geared toward catering to agents, which doesn't require compelling graphics, clickable buttons, or entry points.

In many cases, people will no longer be interacting directly with UIs -- applications will deliver results via APIs tied to AI outputs or agents.

Interfaces that users see, he explained, will be "disposable -- a one-time use interface that just gets generated on demand and then poof, it's gone.

"The user role has changed here from the operator," Grinich pointed out -- going from simply being a user to that of collaborator and ultimately a director of AI agents.

It's a very different interaction paradigm for building UI, because you don't really kn…

I've been reviewing Unihertz phones since the Atom came out in 2018, and I've always enjoyed its affordable, if niche, devices.

For the past few weeks, I've been testing its latest model: the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite, and can confidently say it's the best phone Unihertz has ever made.

Also: The best Android phones you can buyThe second is the Titan 2 Elite's sleek form factor.

What's old is new againLast year's Unihertz Titan 2 was positioned as a BlackBerry Passport alternative, albeit much bulkier with its more rugged design.

By contrast, the Titan Elite 2 is more of a successor to the BlackBerry Classic, but utilizes the keyboard as a trackpad.

In Ubuntu, AI is built into key features and optional AI tools.

Implicit vs. explicit AIA core part of Ubuntu's framework is the distinction between "implicit" and "explicit" AI features.

Implicit AI features will run largely in the background, enhancing Linux's existing capabilities.

Canonical wants most Ubuntu AI features to default to on‑device inference.

How to use Data Saver mode on AndroidThe first thing you'll want to do is enable the Data Saver mode, which prevents some apps from sending and/or receiving data in the background.

Open the Settings app Open the Settings app by either pulling down the Notification Shade twice and then tapping the gear icon at the bottom right.

Enable Data Saver On the resulting page, tap the On/Off switch for Use Data Saver until it's in the On position.

On the Data Saver page, you'll see an option labeled "Unrestricted mobile data."

And that's all there is to saving data and controlling data usage on Android.

When you think of open-source operating systems, most likely only one option springs to mind: Linux.

Let's see what there is to see within the realm of non-Linux open-source operating systems.

This should come as no surprise, given that BSD was based on an operating system used on mainframe computers worldwide.

In fact, if you want the single most reliable and stable operating system on the planet, try FreeBSD or OpenBSD.

ZDNET's key takeawaysOnly 23% of IT managers have complete control over their agents.

AI agents -- so easy to spin up -- are proliferating out of everyone's control.

That's the conclusion of a just-released survey by Rubrik ZeroLabs, which finds that fewer than one in four IT managers (23%) say they have "complete" control over the agents within their organizations.

The authors of the ZeroLabs survey found a disconnect between perceived control and operational reality among agents.

The scandal leaves South Africa without an AI governance framework and raises questions about institutional capacity to regulate the technology.

It proposed a National AI Commission, an AI Ethics Board, an AI Regulatory Authority, an AI Ombudsperson, a National AI Safety Institute, and an AI Insurance Superfund.

It outlined five pillars of AI governance: skills capacity, responsible governance, ethical and inclusive AI, cultural preservation, and human-centred deployment.

The implicationsThe immediate consequence is that South Africa’s AI governance timeline has been reset.

The fake citations in South Africa’s AI policy were not obviously wrong.

Oracle, which signed a $300 billion five-year partnership to supply computing power to OpenAI, dropped 7.7 per cent.

CoreWeave, which has an $11.9 billion infrastructure contract with OpenAI, fell 7.4 per cent.

SoftBank, which has committed $60 billion to OpenAI, sank almost 10 per cent in Tokyo.

The targetsThe Journal reported that OpenAI missed an internal goal of reaching one billion weekly active ChatGPT users by the end of 2025.

CFO Sarah Friar warned colleagues internally that if revenue growth does not accelerate, OpenAI could face difficulty funding its future compute agreements.

TL;DR Christopher Gray, founder of Shark Tank-backed scholarship app Scholly (5M users), is suing acquirer Sallie Mae in Delaware Superior Court and has filed an SEC whistleblower complaint.

In 2023, Sallie Mae, the student lending company whose name is synonymous with the American student debt crisis, acquired Scholly.

According to the lawsuit, the deterioration began in July 2024, when Sallie Mae laid off the Scholly founding team, including Gray’s co-founders.

Gray alleges that around the same time, he heard Sallie Mae executives discuss plans for selling Scholly user data in meetings.

Gray alleges that Sallie Mae sold data collected through the Scholly app, including personal informatio…

TL;DR Musk testified Tuesday that his OpenAI lawsuit will set legal precedent for all American charitable giving.

He has renounced personal financial benefit, seeking instead up to $134B returned to OpenAI’s nonprofit, Altman’s removal, and forced reversion to nonprofit status.

OpenAI counters that Musk supported for-profit restructuring with himself in charge, quit, and now sues to damage a competitor.

Elon Musk told a federal jury on Tuesday that his lawsuit against OpenAI and its co-founders is not about him.

Musk told the jury the case is simple.

TL;DR Google signed a classified AI deal with the Pentagon for “any lawful government purpose” one day after 580+ employees urged Pichai to refuse.

Google is drawing a line between selling general-purpose AI access and building specific weapons, but on classified networks, the distinction may be meaningless.

The dealThe classified AI agreement is structured as an extension of Google’s existing Pentagon contract, providing API access rather than custom model development or bespoke military applications.

The “any lawful government purpose” language places Google alongside OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI, both of which have signed their own classified AI agreements with the Pentagon.

In March 2026,…

TL;DR Opening arguments in Musk v. Altman began Tuesday in Oakland.

Musk took the stand as the first witness, renouncing personal damages and pledging any award to OpenAI’s nonprofit.

Mr. Musk may not like that, but it’s no basis for a lawsuit.” Musk then took the stand as the trial’s first witness.

He has renounced any personal financial benefit from the case and pledged to redirect any award to OpenAI’s nonprofit foundation.

Musk and Altman are each expected on the stand for more than two hours.

TL;DR Nvidia released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, an open-weight multimodal model that unifies vision, audio, and language in a single architecture with 30B parameters but only 3B active per inference.

Nvidia released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni on Tuesday, an open-weight multimodal AI model that unifies vision, audio, and language understanding in a single architecture designed to power autonomous AI agents on edge devices.

Nvidia claims nine times higher throughput than comparable open multimodal models with equivalent interactivity, 2.9 times faster single-stream reasoning on multimodal tasks, and roughly nine times greater effective system capacity for video reasoning.

TL;DR AWS will sell OpenAI models after Microsoft ended its exclusive reselling rights, completing a restructuring that began with Amazon’s $50 billion investment in OpenAI’s $110 billion funding round.

The question the deal answers is not whether OpenAI’s models are good enough to sell on rival clouds.

Microsoft retains its 20 per cent share of OpenAI’s revenue through 2030, now subject to a cap.

The joint product reflects a broader shift in how AI models are sold.

OpenAI’s models are now available everywhere.

TL;DR True Anomaly raised $650M in Series D funding at a $2.2B valuation, bringing total capital to $1B since its August 2022 founding.

The round landed four days after the Space Force selected True Anomaly among 12 companies for Golden Dome space-based interceptor prototypes under $3.2B in OTA agreements.

It means the military’s own leadership views the space-based interceptor component, the component True Anomaly is designed to build, as conditional.

The betTrue Anomaly’s positioning as a pure-play space defence company is simultaneously its greatest strategic advantage and its most significant risk.

Even Rogers built True Anomaly on the conviction that this time will be different.

For more than two decades, software has defined the trajectory of venture capital.

Venture capital is moving toward deep tech builders, and not as a niche allocation.

Once a deep tech company establishes a foothold, it can access forms of capital that are not available to most software businesses.

Many generalist venture firms are only beginning to allocate capital to deep tech.

That is why I believe venture capital is shifting toward deep tech builders, not because it is fashionable, but because the fundamentals are changing.

The new name unifies what was previously fragmented across Freepik (stock assets), Magnific (AI upscaling), and several other products.

Freepik, the Málaga-founded AI creative platform, announced on Tuesday that it is rebranding as Magnific, unifying its full product stack under a single name for the first time.

It reflects the consolidation of what had been, from the outside, a confusing portfolio: Freepik as a stock asset library, Magnific as an AI image upscaler acquired in May 2024, and several other AI tools operating under separate brands.

Magnific is competing directly with Midjourney, Runway, Leonardo, Adobe Firefly, and a range of well-capitalised US AI creative platforms, without …

Revolut, Europe’s most valuable startup at $75 billion, is opening its first physical retail location in Barcelona, the company confirmed exclusively to Euronews on Tuesday.

The store, to be called the Revolut Store, will open near Plaça Catalunya, in the heart of the city, by the end of 2026 or the start of 2027.

A Revolut spokesperson confirmed to Euronews: “This will not be a temporary pop-up, but a permanent space.

The Barcelona store is part of a broader Revolut expansion that also includes a European headquarters in Paris.

At $200 billion, Revolut would be among the ten most valuable companies in Europe.

True Anomaly, the Colorado-based space defense startup that builds autonomous orbital vehicles and supporting software for US national security missions, has raised $650 million, Bloomberg reported.

The Jackal is paired with Mosaic, True Anomaly’s autonomy software suite that provides command, control, and situational awareness across orbital operations.

True Anomaly’s prior funding trajectory maps directly onto the escalating political and strategic priority given to space defense.

True Anomaly is one of a small group of defense-focused space startups, alongside Anduril, Impulse Space, Starfish Space, and Turion Space, that are competing to define what the next generation of US space defen…

Blackbird is doubling down: it led both the pre-seed and now the seed, and now holds 34% of the company.

Marloo, the London-based AI company for financial advisers, has raised $10 million in a seed round led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Icehouse Ventures.

The round brings total funding to $12.7 million in under twelve months, Blackbird also led the $2.7 million pre-seed in September 2025.

A California bill aimed at stopping trillion-dollar tech companies from favoring their own products has failed after an intense opposition campaign.

BASED Act fails after intense lobbying campaignLast month, state Senator Scott Wiener proposed the BASED Act (Blocking Anticompetitive Self-preferencing by Entrenched Dominant platforms Act), or SB 1074, a California bill targeting how large digital platforms treat their own products and those of their competitors.

In essence, the bill would bar companies with at least $1 trillion in market value from prioritizing their own products and services over competitors, while also limiting how they use third-party data and restricting interoperability…

iOS 26.4 recently gave CarPlay two new features, while also laying the groundwork for another big upgrade coming soon.

iOS 26.4 changes that by unlocking support for a new category of CarPlay apps: ‘voice-based conversational apps.’CarPlay has always been restricted to only allow certain categories of apps.

And in iOS 26.4, Apple has added a new category that will allow AI chatbots to live in CarPlay.

ChatGPT and Perplexity recently rolled out dedicated CarPlay apps that let you interact with those assistants while driving.

Coming soon: Video in the carLast year at WWDC, Apple said that iOS 26 would add support for a long-requested CarPlay feature: video.

With just two days to go until Apple’s Q3 2026 report, UBS just raised its price target on the company’s stock, based once again on strong iPhone demand.

Now, as reported by CNBC, UBS reaffirmed this position, raising its Apple price target from $280 to $287.

While the increase is modest relative to both the current share price of $270.40 and its prior guidance, it adds to the growing positive sentiment ahead of earnings.

Earlier this month, BNP Paribas raised Apple’s stock target from $260 to $300, which in turn came after JP Morgan bumped it twice from $305 to $325.

And while UBS’s stock target is more conservative (more on that later), it leans on the same argument that Apple’s supply ch…

iOS 26.4 is packed with a bunch of new features for Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and more, plus new ways to customize your iPhone.

Apple also added a new alarm feature in iOS 26.4 that’s built specifically for Apple Watch owners.

My Apple Watch is almost always in silent mode, so alarms set off a series of haptic vibrations.

But if you need a more forceful wake-up, the Apple Watch taking over alarms may not be a good thing.

If you sleep with Apple Watch and need a loud iPhone alarm to get woken up, this one’s for you.

Nearly 13 years of updates later, version 8.0 arrives with a redesigned Apple Watch experience that includes an all-new Expedition Mode.

Pedometer++ 8.0 is focused around a fully rebuilt and redesigned Apple Watch app.

OpenAI согласилась приобрести Astral, которая создает *современные* инструменты на Python для разработчиков, чтобы интегрировать её команду в Codex. Ну и по пути сообщает, что у Codex более 2 млн пользователей — в три раза больше, чем в январе. При этом от лица разработчиков заявляю - мы всё больше предпочитаем Claude Code. И разрыв между этими продуктами не сокращается, а субьективно наоборот - растет www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-19/openai-to-acquire-python-startup-astral-expanding-push-into-coding

Конференция NVIDIA GTC раньше была про игры. А сейчас все больше про NVIDIA и их значение для мира ИИ, так что вот тут можно будет смотреть https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw_o0xr8MWU

Вечный источник сливов, the Information пишут, что OpenAI готовится выпустить GPT-5.4, который получит «экстремальный» режим рассуждений и контекстное окно объёмом 1 млн токенов вместо 400 тыс. в GPT-5.2. Честно говоря, эта гонка сейчас перестала так впечатлять как раньше.

Ну и да, в MacBook Neo два порта USB‑C с разными характеристиками: один — USB 3.0 (Type‑C) со скоростью передачи до 10 Гбит/с, другой — USB 2.0 (Type‑C), ограниченный 480 Мбит/с.Интересно, что внешней маркировки я на них не увидел, видимо, "должны знать" :)🔗 https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/04/macbook-neo-features-two-different-usb-ports/

Первые впечатления от MacBook Neo — новый самый младший ноутбук от Apple. Он вообще не кажется бюджетным: яркий дисплей и алюминиевый корпус, но клавиатура немного хлипкая, что предсказуемо было.Теперь я не очень понимаю, в чем его отличие от айпада. Видимо, выбор между "встроенная клавиатура" и "тач экран". Ну, рано или поздно они должны будут сойтись.https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/macbook-neo-hands-on-apples-599-laptop-feels-shockingly-great-142313318.html

Сразу две новости рядом: Eight Sleep, продающая умные аксессуары для матрасов, которые отслеживают режим сна и регулируют температуру, привлекла $50 млн при оценке в $1,5 млрд, тогда как в 2021 году её оценка составляла $500 млн. И это для меня удивительно - все тесты показали что их матрасы прямо никуда не годятся по точности отслеживания. Идея регуляции температуры во время сна все еще привлекательна, жаль что их не возят в разные страны.В это же время Whoop, производящая фитнес‑браслеты без экранов, сообщает, что планирует увеличить численность персонала максимум на 75% в 2026 году, создав более 600 должностей в преддверии вероятного IPO. Обычно перед IPO численость команды сокращают - в…

Polymarket удаляет долго существовавшие рынки, позволявшие пользователям делать ставки на вероятность ядерного взрыва на фоне ударов по Ирану. В прошлом году совокупный обьем ставок на эти события был $1,7 млн, что не так уж и мало. В этом году, как вы понимаете, интерес существенно бОльший.Я не понимаю, чем людям помешали эти ставки, единственная идея — сейчас сильно больше шансы на "манипуляцию", т.е. ради высокой выплаты можно попытаться что-нибудь взорвать.🔗 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/04/polymarket-shelves-nuclear-detonation-markets-after-outcry

Тут происходит небольшая революция — появился репозиторий, в котором, как утверждается, научились заниматься обучением нейронок на чипах Apple Neural Engine напрямую. Сейчас ANE используются для запуска готовых моделей в основном, автор утверждает, что разобрал приватные API эппла, и теперь всё можно учить прямо на устройстве, не покупая себе очередной A100. В реальности, скорее всего, пользоваться этим будет нельзя, пока эппл явно не разрешит. Но фактически то, что автор репозитория показал, означает, что по сути нас ограничивает только софт, ограничения на уровне железа практически не существует. Хайпа, правда, многовато, т.к. устройства с ANE конечно не рассчитаны на ту огромную и долгов…

ByteDance показали «Project Swan», который выйдет в этом году. Это новый VR шлем с микродисплеем OLED с разрешением 4000 PPI, и новой же Pico OS 6.

Финансирование Anthropic в размере более 60 миллиардов долларов, половина которого поступила всего в прошлом месяце от более чем 200 инвесторов, теперь находится под угрозой из-за контрактного спора компании с Пентагоном.Так пишет Axios, но мне что-то кажется, что зря они переживают.

— Лицензия в порядке, можете играть. Вернёмся с проверкой через месяцВ поддержке PlayStation подтвердили, что на PS4 и PS5 ввели проверку лицензий игр. На практике это значит, что если консоль не подключена к интернету 30 дней, то лицензии временно аннулируются, а запускать игры нельзя.Однако речь идёт только о цифровых копиях, приобретённых после мартовского обновления.
