Обновлённый перечень будет действовать с 2026 года.

Помогла в том числе жёсткая денежно-кредитная политика ЦБ, которая повысила привлекательность рублёвых активов для россиян, считает агентство.

Компании объясняют увеличение стоимости услуг ростом НДС, затрат на модернизацию сетей и другими «рыночными факторами».

Статья посвящена истории развития СУБД, а именно взлету и закату (будем аккуратны, предположительно закату) СУБД нестрогой консистентности (eventually-consistent).

Была ли «битва ACID и BASE» реальным технологическим разломом или лишь отражала ограничения своего времени?

DynamoDB радикально поменялась за последние 10 лет: на смену LSM деревьям, лежащим в основе большинства eventually-consistent СУБД, пришли Б-деревья из классических транзакционных СУБД.

Отдельный интерес вызывает аспект смены LSM хранилища на B-tree: eventually-consistent СУБД создавались для append-only сценариев, не предусматривающих частых чтений.

А связано это с тем, что самих СУБД в среднестатистическом проекте стало з…

Каждый двигатель Ка-22 через сложную систему редукторов мог передавать мощность как на подъемный ротор, так и на тянущий пропеллер.

Фактически, в воздухе Ка-22 мог лететь как самолет: на большой скорости опираясь на крыло, а не на несущие винты.

7 ноября 1961 экипаж Ефремова разогнал Ка-22 до 356,3 км/ч, установив мировой рекорд скорости для винтокрылых машин.

Тяжелый «Мишка» хоть и уступал Ка-22 в скорости, но по грузоподъемности и дальности почти не уступал, при этом был куда проще и надежнее.

А вообще, проект столкнулся не только с техническими, но и с производственными трудностями.

Если коротко: Хабр меняется вместе с временами, с трендами, с нами, но пока ещё остаётся творческим, авторским, интеллектуальным и ламповым.

В прошлом году мы подвели итоги года также 23 декабря.

ПользователиЗа 2025 год зарегистрировалось 154 554 пользователя — это на 16 тысяч меньше, чем в прошлом году, но на 34–45 тыс.

Фиксируем прирост почти по всем типам публикаций и у всех категорий авторов (пользователи, компания и редакция), хотя проценты скачут туда‑сюда.

В 2025 году было 35 страйков от РКН (в прошлом году 83) на Хабре и 5 в Хабр QnA.

Идиоты тут мы, если что, и сейчас я расскажу детали.

С самого начала 2025 года стало понятно, что Роскомнадзор продолжил использовать методы блокировки, опробованные в прошлом году, но с большим размахом.

Он работает и сейчас: чтобы им воспользоваться, нужно скачать приложение AmneziaVPN, выбрать «VPN от Amnezia» и активировать Amnezia Free, находясь на территории Турции.

Новая версия прошла все тесты и стала доступна для пользователей Amnezia Premium и Free, а затем и для self-hosted-пользователей.

Подводя итог июню и июлю: РКН научился распознавать и блокировать первую версию протокола AmneziaWG (AWG), что и заставило нашу команду ускорить разработку и внедрение версии 1.5.

Посмотрим, что представляют собой форматы GOL и GOB, как удалось добиться такой оптимизации и как это выглядит в реальных условиях.

Для поддержки нового формата в GOL Tool 2.1 появились две новые команды: «Сохранить GOL как GOB» и «Загрузить GOB в GOL».

Другими словами, формат предназначен не для редактирования, а для хранения и распространения данных.

Экспортировать GOL в GOB:gol save []Вторую часть в квадратных скобках можно не указывать, тогда используется то же имя файла.

«Для низкоуровневого хранения GOL и GOB используются такие же методы, что и MVT, например, дельта-кодирование LEB128 для координат и дедуплицирование структур.

Такое же имя получил и выпускавшийся в Узбекистане очень редкий компьютер, серийным производством которого занималось в конце 80-х Ташкентское предприятие «Алгоритм».

ПредысторияИстория ЭВМ «Согдиана-1» началась в 1986 году, когда в номерах 4–6 журнала «Радио» были опубликованы принципиальные схемы персонального компьютера «Радио-86РК».

Именно компактность и относительная несложность монтажа и настройки схемы сделала возможным повсеместное появление самодельных плат, на которых радиолюбители собирали «Радио-86РК» в домашних условиях.

Программы для «Радио-86РК» распространялись на магнитофонных кассетах на тех же радиорынках.

Фаза со страницы IMVP SA Block72_IMVP GT BlockНичего нового, такие же фазы, как и на странице 71, единственное отличие - меньшая индуктивность за счет двух фаз.

На + и - приходят соответствующие напряжения с шунтов многофазных источников и суммируются с одинаковым весом.

И такая задача не предполагается как сложная или заумная, и её цель не в том, чтобы кого-то отсеять, теоретически.

И не только джуниоры.

Эта работа называется «Does Stress Impact Technical Interview Performance?», и в её проведении участвовали исследователи из Microsoft.

Когнитивные показатели в публичном сеттинге не только оказались ниже в среднем, но и демонстрировали намного больший разброс (высокую дисперсию).

Но при этом многие из них запаниковали бы от одной мысли выступить с речью в не горящем зале, полном незнакомых людей.

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

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

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

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

На кафедре была своя вычислительная машина Электроника ЕС-100-45:несколько консолей и перфоратор в одной небольшой комнате;множество шумных шкафов с процессорами - в большом зале;принтер и столы с жесткими дисками - в третьем помещении.

Как раз тогда появились первые программируемые калькуляторы "Электроника Б3-34", размером с добрый кирпич и такого же веса, с узким дисплеем и стоимостью в инженерную зарплату.

Машинка впадала в кому, моргала дисплейчиком и при некотором навыке можно было увидеть - в правильном ли направлении происходит просчет.

Apple не только переносит часть производства в Индию, но и занимается локализацией сборки элементов своего главного продукта — айфона.

По-настоящему новый датчик камеры для базового iPhone 18 будут собирать на заводе Samsung в Остине.

СМИ пишут, что сборочная линия в Остине начнёт работу не раньше марта 2026 года, а iPhone 18 ожидают в первой половине 2027 года.

Новая модель может получить первый не японский датчик камеры для Apple, да ещё и произведённый в США.

Хватит ли в стране квалифицированных кадров для запуска производства и приедут ли рабочие из-за рубежа для того, чтобы воссоздать корейский опыт?

Apple всё ещё пытается запустить AI в КНР, но, кажется, чем дальше, тем больше условий ей нужно выполнить.

Сначала компания была вынуждена заручиться поддержкой местного провайдера нейросети, которым стала Alibaba со своим Qwen.

Под «правильным» подразумевается отсутствие ответов на 95 % вопросов, которых, на секундочку, 2000.

Некоторые владельцы смартфонов Google Pixel сообщают на Reddit, что проблема появляется после обработки фотографий в фоновом режиме.

У кого-то «Пиксель» завис в цикле резервного копирования и обработки, после чего часть фотографий пропала.

Жалобы встречаются на последние модели от Pixel 8a до Pixel 10 Pro.

Google проблему не комментировала, воспроизвести её искусственно пока не получилось.

Ну и решения тоже нет (разве что не пользоваться «Пикселями»).

Автомобилисты проехали с «Картами» больше 30 млрд километров, — рассказала пресс-служба компании.

В среднем самые длинные поездки планировали жители Краснодара и Москвы, а вот самыми длинными пешеходными маршрутами могут похвастаться Воронеж, Уфа и Самара!

При этом за Уралом, в городах с низким потоком гостей, топ запросов возглавили магазины продуктов.

Сервис также приготовил личные итоги года для всех пользователей «Яндекс Карт».

Госдума в третьем чтении приняла поправки в КоАП, предусматривающие новую меру штрафа за навязывание покупателям лишних услуг или товаров.

А штрафы за навязывание мессенджеров будут?

Для ИП диапазон штрафа от 100 000 до 300 000 рублей, а для юрлиц — от 250 000 до 1 млн рублей.

Напомним, что ранее максимальное наказание оценивалось в 40 000 рублей.

Согласно ему, для того чтобы продать стороннюю услугу или товар, продавцу необходимо получить письменное согласие покупателя.

На волне успеха первых двух сезонов Amazon MGM Studios дала зелёный свет на производство ещё одного телешоу, вдохновлённого британской адаптацией «Игры в кальмара».

По его словам, участники шоу должны будут выжить в убежище после наступления ядерного апокалипсиса, обеспечивая себя и свою команду едой, водой и электричеством.

По своему духу проект ближе всего к мобильной Fallout Shelter.

Спродюсируют реалити-шоу создатели оригинального сериала Джонатан Нолан и Лиза Джой.

Bethesda Game Studios также принимает участие в проекте.

Компания в очередной раз посетовала на то, что безопасность её пользователей будет подвергнута риску, но при этом соглашение с властями подписала.

Если она не успеет за это время их выполнить, то на неё будет наложен штраф размером около $27 млн.

Вероятно, альтсторы появятся в Бразилии с выходом iOS 26.4.

Ранее сторонние магазины приложений и платёжные системы были разрешены в ЕС и Японии.

Пару дней назад основатель «ВКонтакте» и Telegram рассказал, что готов оплатить ЭКО женщинам, желающим родить с помощью его генетического материала.

Требований два — быть незамужем и моложе 38 лет.

Оказывается, для них путь к рождению вундеркиндов лежит через столицу.

В московской клинике сообщили, что у них есть сперма Дурова и отдельная программа ЭКО под неё, которую оплачивает миллиардер.

За время обсуждений гений Дурова родил (простите) несколько идей для оформления программы донорства его спермы.

Об этом сообщил инсайдер Kepler_L2 на популярном игровом форуме NeoGAF.

Аналитики VGChartz были чуть более щедры в своих оценках: по расчётам издания, «Майки» смогли продать аж целых 1,8 млн консолей, что, конечно, выглядит абсолютно смешно на фоне Sony, которая отгрузила космические 10,5 млн на шестом году жизни PlayStation 5.

Автор Windows Central Джез Корден пожаловался, что новости про Steam Deck собирают в разы больше просмотров на его ресурсе, чем про Xbox, хотя его портал изначально строил аудиторию вокруг фанатов «Коробки».

Благодаря новой системе проверки возраста Mos ID, сервис аренды самокатов «Яндекса» не допустил до движения свыше 23 тысяч подростков в столице.

При этом общее число опасных ситуаций на дороге с участием самокатов выросло на 8 % по сравнению с прошлым годом.

Компании больше 130 тысяч раз пришлось применить санкции к неосторожным водителям: принудительно снижать скорость, штрафовать и ограничивать доступ к сервису.

Для повышения безопасности на дороге «Яндекс» представил самокат собственной разработки, со специальным фонарём для ночных поездок и яркими световыми индикаторами торможения.

В следующем году компания намерена потратить 350 млн рублей на программы обучения правилам дорожного движе…

Совет акционеров компании одобрил сделку стоимостью $55 млрд, — сообщает Сесилия Ди Анастейша из Bloomberg.

Текущие инвесторы получат по $210 за каждую имеющуюся на руках акцию, после чего видеоигровой гигант уйдёт с биржи и перейдёт в собственность трёх покупателей: суверенного инвестфонда Саудовской Аравии, инвестиционного гиганта Silver Lake, а также частной компании Affinity Partners, которая принадлежит зятю Дональда Трампа Джареду Кушнеру.

Сделку планируют закрыть в 2027 году.

Новые владельцы обещают сохранить планку качества игр на прежнем уровне, но некоторые разработчики уже начали морально готовиться к сокращениям.

Huawei рапортует о том, что её собственный конкурент Android дошёл до «черты выживания» — количества пользователей, при котором система может жить и развиваться дальше.

По данным компании, ежедневно активируется более 100 тысяч новых устройств на HarmonyOS и происходит более 88 млн загрузок и обновлений приложений.

А недавно ещё и вышла новая, шестая версия системы — в ней добавили аналог эппловского AirDrop.

В этом году у Huawei в принципе дела идут в гору: в ноябре релизнулась флагманская серия Mate 80, что позволило HarmonyOS (17 %) обогнать iOS (16 %) по доле на внутреннем рынке.

Однако, если верить авторитетным инсайдерам в лице, например, Мин-Чи Куо, такая статистика всё-таки далека о…

В коллективном иске, поступившем в Таганский районный суд Москвы 23 декабря, 42 гражданина просят признать незаконными действия Роскомнадзора и Минцифры, — сообщает РБК.

Истцы утверждают, что действия регуляторов нарушают основные права и интересы россиян.

Истцы же уверяют, что основные каналы для афер не Telegram и WhatsApp*, а звонки и SMS.

Его представители заявили, что российский регулятор пытается лишить более 100 млн пользователей права ругаться в домовых чатах на конфиденциальную переписку.

* принадлежит Meta, признанной в РФ экстремистской и запрещённой на территории страны.

Это коллаба вместе с каналом HBO, который выпустил сериал в 1999 году.

Для рекламы позвали Майкла Империоли — актёра, известного по роли Кристофера Молтисанти.

В коллекции футболки, худи, свитшоты с принтами персонажей: от самого Криса и Тони Сопрано до Поли, Кармелы, Адрианы и других.

Есть ещё крутецкий бомбер, отсылающий к клубу «Бада Бинг!», и немного кепок, зажигалок Zippo и брелоков для ключей.

Удивительная франшиза: ничего нового не выходит (и хорошо), но народная любовь живёт.

Падение акций произошло на фоне поглощения Qualcomm перспективного стартапа Ventana, специализирующегося на разработке высокопроизводительных серверных чипов для ИИ на молодой архитектуре RISC-V.Британская Arm Holdings почти не изготавливает процессоры сама — её доходы в долгосрочной перспективе зависят исключительно от того, как много чипов будет произведено на ARM-архитектуре, так что уход крупного клиента обязательно ударит по её доходам.

Qualcomm есть из-за чего уходить: год назад компания чуть было не потеряла право на производство Snapdragon вследствие требований Arm пересмотреть стоимость лицензии.

Отстоять место под солнцем ей удалось лишь на суде присяжных.

Оценка ByteDance, владеющей TikTok, на частном рынке достигла $500 млрд — это рекордный показатель для компании, сообщает SCMP.

Во втором квартале 2025 года оценка компании наконец достигла $400 млрд на фоне прогресса в переговорах по бизнесу в США и развитию ИИ.

К концу 2025-го, то есть менее чем за год, оценка ByteDance на частном рынке выросла до $500 млрд.

Источник SCMP пояснил: инвесторы довольны условиями, так как ByteDance сохранит возможность зарабатывать на TikTok в США.

Так, например, OpenAI Сэма Альтмана оценивается примерно в $830 млрд, а SpaceX Илона Маска — в $800 млрд в рамках внутренней продажи акций.

После почти двух лет с момента формирования прошлой значительной ветки опубликован стабильный релиз дистрибутива OpenMediaVault 8.0, позволяющего быстро развернуть сетевое хранилище (NAS, Network-Attached Storage). Проект OpenMediaVault основан в 2009 году после раскола в стане разработчиков дистрибутива FreeNAS, в результате которого наряду с основанным на FreeBSD классическим FreeNAS было создано ответвление, разработчики которого поставили перед собой цель перевести дистрибутив на ядро Linux и пакетную базу Debian. Для загрузки подготовлены установочные образы OpenMediaVault для архитектуры x86_64 (1.4 ГБ).

Different cultures celebrate Christmas at different days and time zones are a thing.

But it's Christmas here, so:Merry Christmas to everyone.

I hope you get some rest and can spend time with people who are dear to you and get to focus on what's important rather than getting lost in stressing about everything having to be perfect.

Also much love to everyone who cannot spend their Christmas with dear people.

To make sure this post meets the relevancy criteria, here is a Wikipedia article about some Christmas (more precisely advent) tradition which I personally really like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_market

Your level dictates your salary, your stock grants, and most importantly, the scope of problems you are allowed to solve.

Doing so while maintaining high performance at a demanding job like YouTube is a recipe for cognitive fracture.

When you work at a place like YouTube, the scale of the problems you solve is the primary selling point.

Don't say: "I tweaked the YouTube watch-time algorithm using X variable."

It wasn't his fault I wasn't promoted to the level I wanted—he was fighting the same bureaucratic machine I was.

AI coding agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google can now work on software projects for hours at a time, writing complete apps, running tests, and fixing bugs with human supervision.

We’ll start with the basics: At the core of every AI coding agent is a technology called a large language model (LLM), which is a type of neural network trained on vast amounts of text data, including lots of programming code.

Over the past few years, AI researchers have been probing LLMs’ deficiencies and finding ways to work around them.

How coding agents are structuredIn that sense, each AI coding agent is a program wrapper that works with multiple LLMs.

The supervising agent can interrupt tasks below it a…

For the second time this month, a Chinese rocket designed for reuse successfully soared into low-Earth orbit on its first flight Monday, defying the questionable odds that burden the debuts of new launch vehicles.

The first Long March 12A rocket, roughly the same height and diameter of SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9, lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 9:00 pm EST Monday (02:00 UTC Tuesday).

“The first stage failed to be successfully recovered,” the corporation said in a statement.

The Zhuque-3 rocket was developed by a privately-funded startup named LandSpace.

Similar in size and performance to the Long March 12A, the Zhuque-3 also reached orbit on its first launch, and its…

As previously reported, Marvel Studios originally planned to build its Phase Six Avengers arc (The Kang Dynasty) around Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror (and associated variants), introduced in Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Rather than keeping Kang as the villain and recasting the character, the Russo brothers decided to take a new d…

Americans will be unable to buy the latest and greatest drones because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has banned foreign-made drones as of today.

However, the FCC won’t approve any new devices from companies that make drones and aren’t based in the US.

They’ve been targeted as potential national security threats, as well as criticized for their ability to be used to invade people’s privacy, be disruptive, and dangerously enter restricted airspace, and for their roles in property destruction.

The NCMEC’s CyberTipline is a Congressionally authorized clearinghouse for reporting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other forms of child exploitation.

Companies are required by law to report apparent child exploitation to the CyberTipline.

When a company sends a report, NCMEC reviews it and then forwards it to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation.

Additionally, the same piece of content can be the subject of multiple reports, and a single report can be about multiple pieces of content.

Some platforms, including OpenAI, disclose the number of both the reports and the total pieces of content they were about for a more complete picture.

Compression ratiosAt issue is the engines’ compression ratio, which compares the volume of the cylinder when the piston is at top dead center with the volume when the piston is at its closest to the crank.

Under the 2014–2025 rules, this was set at 18:1, but for 2026 onward, it has been reduced to 16:1.

The engines have very short throws, so it doesn’t take much expansion to increase the compression ratio by reducing the distance between the piston and cylinder head at the top of its travel.

The compression ratio clarification wasn’t the only one issued by the FIA.

For some time now, F1 has used ultrasonic fuel flow meters as a way to control power outputs.

Since I’m fascinated by new display technologies and by improving image quality, I’ve never been a fan of home projectors.

That said, a projector can be a space-efficient alternative to a big-screen TV or help you watch TV or movies outside.

A projector can be versatile when paired with the right space, especially if that projector makes sure the “right space” is included in the device.

The Splay was crowdfunded in 2021, and its maker, Arovia, describes it as the “first fully collapsible monitor and projector.” In short, it’s a portable projector with an integrated fabric shroud that can serve as a big-screen (24.5 or 34.5 inches diagonally, depending on the model) portable monitor.

Tory Bruno, a veteran engineer and aerospace industry executive, has resigned from the top job at United Launch Alliance after more than a decade competing against the growing dominance of SpaceX, the company announced Monday.

His tenure was marked by a decline in ULA’s market share as rival SpaceX competed for and won ever-larger US government launch contracts.

More recently, Bruno oversaw the successful debut of ULA’s Vulcan rocket, followed by struggles to ramp up the new rocket’s launch cadence.

For the better part of two months last year, most of us had no idea how serious the problems were with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft docked at the International Space Station.

A safety advisory panel found this uncertainty also filtered through NASA’s workforce.

On its first Crew Test Flight, Boeing’s Starliner delivered NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the space station in June 2024.

They were the first people to fly to space on a Starliner spacecraft after more than a decade of development and setbacks.

Engineers determined that some of the thrusters were overheating and eventually recovered most of their function, allowing Starliner to dock with the ISS.

The world’s largest shadow library—which is increasingly funded by AI developers—shocked the Internet this weekend by announcing it had “backed up Spotify” and started distributing 300 terabytes of metadata and music files in bulk torrents.

The music files supposedly represent about 37 percent of songs available on Spotify as of July 2025.

The scraped files were prioritized by popularity, with Anna’s Archive weeding out many songs that are never streamed or are of poor quality, such as AI-generated songs.

On Monday, Spotify told Android Authority on Monday that it was investigating whether Anna’s Archive had actually scraped its platform “at scale,” as its blog claimed.

Steam is experiencing an outage that’s impacting users ability to access the game store and play games online.

Valve hasn’t acknowledged the outage publicly, but SteamDB’s unofficial Steam Status page reports that the Steam Store, Steam Community, and Steam Web APIs are all offline.

DownDetector received over 6,000 outage reports around 1:15PM ET, and Steam is also inaccessible from Valve’s mobile apps.

The outage appears to be affecting APIs for Valve’s online games, like Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Counterstrike 2, as well.

Reuters reported that the cyberattack on La Poste was still not fully resolved as of Wednesday morning.

While regular letters were not affected, postal workers were unable to track packages and online payments through La Banque Postale, the service's banking division, were also disrupted.

However, I think the wedge-shaped Prius Prime introduced for 2023 is much sexier than its frumpy predecessors.

The equivalent Prius XTE model has a list price of $31,995 in a similar configuration, making it $5,325 cheaper than the Prius Prime XSE.

A Prius Prime driver, on the other hand, would use 70 to 85 percent less fuel by current EPA or WLPT estimates.

Steve Dent for EngadgetOverall, I enjoyed my time with the Prius Prime and found it to be fun, practical and cheap to drive.

If I were in the market for a new vehicle, the Prius Prime would be high on my list.

The Nintendo Switch 2 handles code redemption in a familiar way, building on the same process used on the original Switch.

Both routes link the purchase to the same Nintendo Account so the redeemed title appears on any compatible device tied to that account.

If the game includes a Switch and Switch 2 version, the system will prompt you to choose which version to download.

If the game supports cloud backup through Nintendo Switch Online, save data will sync once the game is installed.

Ahead of CES 2026, Samsung has unveiled a number of impressive gaming monitors that flaunt 3D and very high refresh rates.

The subscription service is available as part of Amazon Prime, which you can purchase for either $15 per month, or $139 annually.

If you’d prefer to get Prime Video only, it’s available as a standalone for $9 per month.

In recent years Amazon Prime has increased its original output with award-winning series like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, as well as highly-regarded genre content like The Boys and The Expanse.

The company also frequently insists on bringing its Fire TV-style interface to other platforms instead of using their native controls.

One other thing to think about is that Amazon’s video apps link to its on-demand store, and include access to Channels.

IO Interactive's James Bond simulator 007 First Light has been delayed until May 27, 2026.

IO says the game is already "fully playable from beginning to end" but still needs a bit of attention to ensure "the strongest possible version at launch."

For the uninitiated, 007 First Light is the first James Bond game in over a decade.

The developer is the same organization behind the renowned Hitman franchise, so this could potentially be the best Bond game since Goldeneye.

Who knows when the next Bond film will actually come out, so this should be a nice little stopgap for fans.

An ongoing controversy about an alleged Tesla door design flaw got two new wrinkles this week, as troubling, who-knew-what-and-when questions about vehicle door handles began to swirl, along with a fresh federal investigation triggered by a harrowing complaint letter.

According to Bloomberg‘s sources, engineers warned Musk against the electronic releases for the interior door handles during Tesla Model 3 development.

Tesla wasn’t the first automaker to pursue electric door handles, but not long after the Model S further popularized them, companies like Audi started using them.

It’s also not the first company to face a person allegedly being trapped in one of their vehicles with electron…

But maybe we should use the opportunity to revisit the episode that started the tradition off two decades ago because, really, it remains Doctor Who‘s actual best attempt at a Christmas story.

Twenty years ago tomorrow, “The Christmas Invasion”—technically the second Doctor Who Christmas broadcast after 1965’s “The Feast of Steven,” a bizarre story that is both not really a Christmas special and is now lost to time as one of Who‘s many remaining missing episodes—hit screens as the first full-episode debut of David Tennant’s 10th Doctor.

It’s an episode that is unabashedly “a Christmas episode of Doctor Who,” mashing together the show’s finest tropes with festive flair.

There are stori…

The city of Santa Monica and Waymo will go to court in the new year after failing to reach an agreement following competing lawsuits, the Los Angeles Times reported this week.

Waymo opened two facilities in a Santa Monica neighborhood in January to charge 50 of its vehicles that operate in the Greater Los Angeles area.

A petition was soon established, but Santa Monica officials in April told KTLA the jurisdiction over noise did not belong to the city, but to state agencies.

It also gained approval to expand to cities outside of Los Angeles, and began testing in New York City.

But it closes the year with not only the suit with Santa Monica getting dragged out, but a massive public relations …

Frank Capra’s 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life is certainly one of the best holiday films ever made.

But what would It’s a Wonderful Life be without that scene?

Last year, I was sitting down for a viewing of It’s a Wonderful Life on Prime Video and realized there were multiple versions.

That story has a different copyright than It’s a Wonderful Life as a whole, which hit the public domain in 1975.

The original, black and white version of It’s a Wonderful Life is on Prime at this link.

But if you’re just starting to get into gambling, you’re going to get hit for more than just your losses.

The new rule means that you can still deduct your gambling losses, but only to offset up to 90% of your winnings.

But things get a little complicated with the introduction of prediction markets.

But no one really knows at this point if bets placed on prediction markets actually count as gambling winnings and losses.

Coinbase recently put out a report suggesting that prediction markets could become a “more tax-advantageous substitute” to sports betting once the less-friendly gambling deductions rule goes into effect.

But the problem with having so many good shows and movies is that inevitably, you miss a few.

With that in mind, here are recommendations of shows and movies that arrived this year (and a couple from years past) that the io9 staff think you should bump up on your “to-watch” list.

100 MetersThe biggest anime movies of 2025 were based on flashy, popular shonen, which 100 Meters very much isn’t.

It’s pure joy, comedically sharp, and a throwback to the wholesome slice-of-life shows we don’t get very often anymore.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’tThe Now You See Me movies are the right kind of mid-budget films.

In Albuquerque, Carol and Zosia watch satellite footage of Manousos getting closer.

Zosia makes herself scarce, and Carol receives Manousos alone, in a scene about a million times more awkward than we could have imagined.

When Carol calls Zosia demanding answers, she finds out it’s a sensor that’s been there for years.

So that’s two mentions of Carol’s eggs across Pluribus season one, and series creator Vince Gilligan isn’t dropping that information in vain.

You can watch all nine episodes of Pluribus season one on Apple TV.

At first glance, A Merry Little Ex-Mas looks like yet another holiday rom-com—a comforting, predictable love story done up in a tidy bow.

Any environmentally minded viewers will quickly clock Ex-Mas as not just a corny yuletide romp but a PSA for sustainable living.

Anyone who has given climate change more than a passing thought will probably find something in Kate to relate to.

The other was Kate’s house, nicknamed “The Mothership,” a picturesque Victorian that had us all cooing in the group chat because of its resemblance to the storied house from the movie Practical Magic.

The neighbors flock to the Mothership like it’s a climate resilience hub.

Say the words “Ai Pin” to any tech geek within earshot, and they’ll most likely regale you with tales of AI gadget infamy.

The state of AI gadgets since the rise and fall of the Ai Pin hasn’t gotten much better.

If an AI gadget falls in the forest and there’s no one there to misguidedly buy it, does it really kill the smartphone?

Obviously, I could answer this question by simply asking InnAIO what the device does and doesn’t do, which is exactly what I did.

So, to recap, the company is selling a $190 “AI translator” that may not even do what’s advertised, and hasn’t paused sales.

“Very good to see non ai stuff these days,” the top comment on the version of the ad posted by Parallel Studio, the studio that created it, says.

In the meantime, YouTube uploads and social media posts from Porsche and Parallel studio don’t mention AI.

The Porsche ad doesn’t seem, to be clear, like it was made with AI, but that’s the case with most ads.

Here’s a recent ad from Taco Bell, that, much like the good Porsche ad and the bad McDonald’s one, is a dreamy montage of disparate scenes that share a theme.

If the Porsche ad really is meant to be an anti-AI statement, that’s terrific.

A postmortem from Waymo on Tuesday is offering at least some clarity about what the hell happened to its poor, benighted San Francisco operation after much of the power across the city went out on Saturday.

Waymo behavior at dark stoplights forced the Alphabet-owned company to call all its San Francisco robotaxis back home, a logistical catastrophe.

While we successfully traversed more than 7,000 dark signals on Saturday, the outage created a concentrated spike in these requests.

What Waymo has instead of “remote drivers” or “teleoperators” is called “fleet response,” a Waymo blog post says.

This made it look like San Francisco was a post-apocalypic wasteland strewn with dead robo…

Obviously, five seasons later, we know that Stranger Things is very much a supernaturally focused series, and it’s become a massive cultural phenomenon that regularly transcends its burnished spot on Netflix’s Top 10.

Not only has it launched careers (remember when Winona Ryder and Matthew Modine were the biggest names in the cast?

Netflix’s press release also touts the success of Stranger Things‘ many tie-in releases, including those red-filled Chips Ahoy cookies (the release doesn’t mention Peanut Butter Boppers or, oddly, Eggo waffles), Nike’s subtle-by-comparison Dunk Low sneakers featuring an upside-down logo, books and comics, and the immersive Stranger Things: The Experience.

If the question of whether anime is mainstream was still on anyone’s lips, 2025 emphatically etched the medium in stone as an emphatic hell yes.

One recently established format of anime in cinemas that’s quickly become a bit of an annoying hanger-on is theatrical preview events.

The first pang of annoyance with this anime film format was inevitable: having to wait for new episodes, weeks into shows that had finally aired.

To be fair to JJK, it was a far cry from the worst of these formatted anime movies (in name only) theatrical experiences.

Hopefully, the global industry will decide to make its future theatrical experiences more like Reze Arc and less like glorified preview events from now…

During a research cruise around the North Pole, scientists encountered the deepest gas hydrate ever found—an elusive crack on the seafloor hosting a myriad of scientific treasures.

The Freya Hydrate Mounds lie under Molloy Ridge near Greenland and were discovered in May 2024.

Cold, submerged ventsThe newly found Freya Hydrate Mounds are gas hydrate cold seeps.

Like hydrothermal vents, cold seeps typically appear as fissures on the seafloor that leak fluids rich in hydrocarbons.

For instance, cold seeps, true to their name, are relatively colder and emit oil and methane in addition to hydrocarbons.

China appears to be slowing the rollout of self-driving cars following a fatal crash involving assisted-driving technology.

The New York Times reports that last week, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) approved only two of the nine proposals submitted by carmakers to sell more advanced self-driving vehicles.

Those limited approvals signal a delay in China’s ambitions to sell and mass-produce fully self-driving cars.

The pause in China’s self-driving push comes after a crash in March that killed three university students.

Public concern has also grown after state media reported that self-driving systems developed by Chinese companies lag behind Tesla in safe…

Everyone wants immersive, cinematic sound in their living room, but not everyone has the room (or the outlets) for placing rear surround speakers.

Folks in smaller apartments or with smaller living rooms or older homes will love the power of the new JBL Bar 500MK2 as much as they love how compact the main bar is.

Nondescript DesignThe best part about the Bar 500MK2 is that it is a small, oblong rectangle that easily fits beneath any modern TV.

You get the bar itself and a large wireless subwoofer to place anywhere in your room.

I find the best way to do this is to plug it in where you have a convenient outlet, then move it around until you like the sound best, but in my acoustically treated…

Panel TypesFor more information on panel types, read our in-depth look at the tech that distinguishes these panel types from each other.

LEDThe standard type of monitor panel these days is still LED (light-emitting diodes), which refers to the way the screen is backlit.

There's even a second version of IPS Black (known as IPS Black 2.0 or Enhanced IPS Black) that claims to push contrast up to 3,000:1.

But over the past couple of years, OLED has become a popular high-end option, especially in the world of gaming monitors.

Two years ago, Lizmary Fernandez took a detour from studying to be an immigration attorney to join a free Apple course for making iPhone apps.

About 600 students, including Fernandez, have completed its 10-month course of half-days at Michigan State University, which cosponsors the Apple-branded and Apple-focused program.

As tech giants begin pouring billions of dollars into AI-related job training courses across the country, the Apple academy offers lessons on the challenges of uplifting diverse communities.

Why buy the usual stack of Post-Its when you can get Resketch's Notepad and save the environment a bit?

Each stack has 175 3x3 sheets, and it's important to know that, unlike Post-Its, there's no adhesive—don't buy these if you plan to stick notes all over your desk or wall.

As you flip through the pad, you'll notice some sheets are lined, and some are colorful—each stack is unique.

If the Notepad isn't for you, but you like Resketch's ethos, you can opt for standard notebooks, reporter-style handbooks, and even journals.

I also quite like the company's Hex Pencil, if you prefer a pencil over a pen.

Now, the next wave of generative AI systems are likely to want more access to your data than ever before.

While much of the initial controversy over large language models (LLMs) was the flagrant copying of copyrighted data online, AI agents’ access to your personal data will likely cause a new host of problems.

expired: AI training data grabs tired:opting out of AI training wired: all-access AI agents Read more Expired/Tired/WIRED 2025 stories here.

While there’s no strict definition of what an AI agent actually is, they’re often best thought of as a generative AI system or LLM that has been given some level of autonomy.

For five years, Caitlyn Jones has used Pinterest on a weekly basis to find recipes for her son.

In September, Jones spotted a creamy chicken and broccoli slow-cooker recipe, sprinkled with golden cheddar and a pop of parsley.

An uncannily perfect-looking woman beamed back at her, golden light bouncing off her apron and tousled hair.

Needing to vent, she turned to the subreddit r/Pinterest, which has become a town square for disgruntled users.

“Pinterest is losing everything people loved, which was authentic Pins and authentic people,” she wrote.

AlphaFold, the artificial intelligence system developed by Google DeepMind, has just turned five.

Then it started playing something more serious, aiming its deep learning algorithms at one of the most difficult problems in modern science: protein folding.

Last year, AlphaFold 3 arrived, extending the capabilities of artificial intelligence to DNA, RNA, and drugs.

To understand what the next five years holds for AlphaFold, WIRED spoke with Pushmeet Kohli, vice president of research at DeepMind and architect of the AI ​​for Science division.

WIRED: Dr. Kohli, the arrival of AlphaFold 2 five years ago has been called "the iPhone moment" for biology.

Unlimited cell phone plans often come with a long list of footnotes, terms, conditions, and exceptions.

Mercifully, all of the Big Three cell companies have, by now, ditched throttling on their highest-paid tiers, and include 5G data access in all their unlimited plans.

But they still have rules on how much unlimited data you get before they start throttling your speed, and some “unlimited” plans may throttle your data at any given time.

Data throttling is the practice of reducing your data speeds after you hit a certain threshold of data used in a month or during times of congestion.

Below, I've highlighted what each of the major carriers offers for “unlimited” individual and family plans …

Mad MenNearly 20 years after its original premiere, Mad Men is making headlines all over again with its arrival on HBO Max.

After a near two-year wait, the show’s second season arrived in April.

The Sex Lives of College GirlsMindy Kaling cocreated this HBO Max series, which puts a new spin on the teenage sex comedy—one in which the women are fully in charge.

In summer 2024, HBO Max announced that the show’s explosive second season would be its last.

Night Country is a return to form, as evidenced by its 19 Emmy nominations (the most of any HBO series in 2024).

In 2026, we will see the beginning of precision medical forecasting.

These added layers of data can be combined with a person’s electronic medical records, which include their structured and unstructured notes, lab results, scans, genetic results, wearable sensors, and environmental data.

In aggregate, this provides an unprecedented depth of information about the person’s health status, enabling a forecast for risk of the three major diseases.

The potential for precision medical forecasting has to be demonstrated and validated via prospective clinical trials that show, using the same metrics of aging, that a person’s risk is decreased.

This is a new frontier in medicine—the potential for pr…

While Silicon Valley debates whether artificial intelligence has become an overinflated bubble, Salesforce's enterprise AI platform quietly added 6,000 new customers in a single quarter — a 48% increase that executives say demonstrates a widening gap between speculative AI hype and deployed enterprise solutions generating measurable returns.Agentforce, the company's autonomous AI agent platform, now serves 18,500 enterprise customers, up from 12,500 the prior quarter. Those customers collectively run more than three billion automated workflows monthly and have pushed Salesforce's agentic product revenue past $540 million in annual recurring revenue, according to figures the company shared w…

Unrelenting, persistent attacks on frontier models make them fail, with the patterns of failure varying by model and developer. Red teaming shows that it’s not the sophisticated, complex attacks that can bring a model down; it’s the attacker automating continuous, random attempts that will inevitably force a model to fail.That’s the harsh truth that AI apps and platform builders need to plan for as they build each new release of their products. Betting an entire build-out on a frontier model prone to red team failures due to persistency alone is like building a house on sand. Even with red teaming, frontier LLMs, including those with open weights, are lagging behind adversarial and weaponiz…

Presented by EdgeVerveArtificial intelligence (AI) has long promised to change the way enterprises operate. For years, the focus was on assistants, systems that could surface information, summarize documents, or streamline repetitive tasks. While valuable, these technological assistants were reactive: they waited for human prompts and provided limited support within narrow boundaries.Today, a new chapter is unfolding. Agentic AI, whose systems are capable of autonomous decision-making and multi-step orchestration, represents a significant evolution. These systems don’t just assist, they act. They evaluate context, weigh outcomes and autonomously initiate actions, orchestrating complex workf…

João Freitas is GM and VP of engineering for AI and automation at PagerDutyAs AI use continues to evolve in large organizations, leaders are increasingly seeking the next development that will yield major ROI. The latest wave of this ongoing trend is the adoption of AI agents. However, as with any new technology, organizations must ensure they adopt AI agents in a responsible way that allows them to facilitate both speed and security. More than half of organizations have already deployed AI agents to some extent, with more expecting to follow suit in the next two years. But many early adopters are now reevaluating their approach. Four-in-10 tech leaders regret not establishing a stronger go…

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

While Gemini 3 is still making waves, Google's not taking the foot off the gas in terms of releasing new models.Yesterday, the company released FunctionGemma, a specialized 270-million parameter AI model designed to solve one of the most persistent bottlenecks in modern application development: reliability at the edge. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, FunctionGemma is engineered for a single, critical utility—translating natural language user commands into structured code that apps and devices can actually execute, all without connecting to the cloud.The release marks a significant strategic pivot for Google DeepMind and the Google AI Developers team. While the industry continues to chase t…

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

Building an enterprise AI company on a "foundation of shifting sand" is the central challenge for founders today, according to the leadership at Palona AI.

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

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

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

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

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

Motorola 2026 Moto G ZDNET's key takeaways Motorola's 2026 Moto G is available for $200.

I liked the 2025 Moto G a lot -- it's a great device with a long-lasting battery and features that made it a "pocket-sized theater".

Return of the pocket theaterThe Moto G houses a 6.7-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 1,604 x 720 pixels.

Lightweight performanceThe performance of Motorola's 2026 Moto G is a familiar story.

It's more useful here than on the Moto G Play, thanks to the bigger 128GB storage drive.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable ZDNET's key takeaways The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is available now, starting at $3,300.

It has limited I/O, has some visible creasing on the rollable display, and has a sky-high price.

(Editor's note: At the time of publishing, it appears the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is no longer in stock on Lenovo's website, though that may change with time.)

Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus ZDNET's key takeaways The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus is on sale right now for $549.

It's a slam dunk tablet with a brilliant display, great speakers, and comes with a keyboard, case, and stylus.

Video content that's not reliant on high-quality audio -- like TV shows or the news -- sounds especially good on this tablet, with clear dialogue and a good amount of separation.

I tried connecting the Yoga Tab Plus to my dual-monitor setup in the office, but it resulted in a freeze-up.

ZDNET's buying adviceKyle Kucharski/ZDNETThe Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus is a joy to use and offers a respectable value for such a versatile device.

In today's world, companies and services go out of their way to collect data from users because it has value.

Companies pay anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars per user because they know how troves of user data can help them.

How Ubuntu does telemetry differentlyCanonical's Ubuntu telemetry collection is done out in the open.

Also: Why people keep flocking to Linux in 2025 (and it's not just to escape Windows)Consider this: Let's say Canonical sees a 1,000% rise in telemetry data collected.

Other operating system developers need to learn this lesson quickly; otherwise, they may continue to see users flocking to Linux in droves.

The Dreo Smart Wall Heater did a great job keeping my family warm all last winter, and it remains a staple in my household this year.

Updating your TV's firmware can boost performance and fix bugs - even without internet.

Fairphone Gen 6 ZDNET's key takeaways The Fairphone Gen 6 is available in the EU on the official site for around $800 and on Amazon in the US for $839.

Also: Why I recommend this budget Android phone to most people over Samsung and GoogleAs someone who's championed clean and responsible living, the Fairphone is very appealing to me.

That being said, the Fairphone Gen 6 was in no way a disappointment.

This means, unfortunately, that you can't buy the Fairphone Gen 6 with Android anywhere outside of the EU.

You can purchase the Fairphone Gen 6 with either Android or the deGoogle'd Murena OS from the official store.

iPhone owners who haven't yet jumped to iOS 26.2 will want to download and install this latest update.

Though they all offer bug fixes and feature improvements, iOS 26.2 may be the most impactful of the bunch.

With iOS 26.2, Apple has addressed 25 different bugs affecting various apps and services, including the App Store, FaceTime, Messages, and Photos.

But with iOS 26.2, Apple has reset the ranges.

To update your iPhone to iOS 26.2, go to Settings, select General, and then tap Software Updates.

ZDNET's key takeawaysIf Windows is your preferred operating system, consider these open-source apps.

There are numerous open-source apps available for almost any task.

I've been using open-source software for a very long time.

Open-source software is available for nearly every operating system on the market, from desktops to phones, and I often find open-source apps are superior to their proprietary counterparts.

File ConverterIf you've ever needed to easily convert or compress a file in Windows, File Converter has your back.

But what are my favorite Linux distributions that no longer exist?

Red HatThat second distribution I purchased was Red Hat 5.2.

One of the first things I did with Red Hat was install a different window manager.

Also: Why ZorinOS 18 might be the new best Linux distro - and I've tried them allDo remember, this was way before Fedora and Red Hat split.

It was stable, serious, and could do anything Red Hat Linux could… without the associated cost.

Following the recent transaction, TNW Spaces remains with the Financial Times, while we continue the mission of the website, the events, and the global community.

We already have a dedicated team at tekpon operating the platform, events, and community initiatives.

TNW is already a global media platform with millions of readers.

What TNW will become in the next stageOur mission is to build the most trusted European tech media platform with global reach, focused on practical innovation, responsible scaling, and transparency.

At TNW, we will use AI to accelerate research, enable personalized intelligence, reduce noise and bias, and amplify high-quality human expertise.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Creating an EU Sovereign Tech Fund, alongside other earmarke…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apple CEO Tim Cook, who’s been on Nike’s board for 20 years, just doubled his stake in the company.

Tim Cook signals confidence in Nike CEO Eliott HillIf you’re into sneakers, you’ve probably noticed how Tim Cook tends to wear flashy Nikes during some of his public appearances.

Yesterday evening, a Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership posted on Nike’s investor website revealed that Cook acquired 50,000 Nike shares on December 22nd at $58.97 each, bringing his total stake to 105,480 shares.

The move was well-timed, as Nike shares fell roughly 10% immediately after the company posted disappointing quarterly results on December 18, extending losses to about 13% in the days that followe…

Apple TV has published an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the making of Pluribus season one, including short roundtable discussions about the show’s concept.

’Pluribus means, I believe, of many’Just as Pluribus wrapped up its first season, Apple TV released an interesting video on its YouTube channel featuring interviews with the cast and crew of the show.

The video features behind-the-scenes footage from multiple scenes in season one, along with production tidbits such as the construction of Carol’s neighborhood and Air Force One.

It also features the moment when Vince Gilligan (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad) first told Rhea Seehorn (who plays Carol), Karolyna Wydra (who plays Zosia…

At least some of the camera sensors for the iPhone 18 Pro look set to be made in the USA, at a Samsung plant in Austin, Texas.

A new report in The Elec says that the company is preparing to install production equipment for iPhone image sensors.

The report references “wafer-to-wafer hybrid bonding where three wafers are stacked,” which is consistent with earlier reports on a three-layer stacked camera sensor.

This is said to be the advanced technology Samsung used to win at least some of Apple’s camera sensor business.

Given the advanced nature of the sensor and the reported timings, this would suggest that it will first appear in the two iPhone 18 Pro models.

Now that WhatsApp is finally available as a proper app for the Apple Watch, Meta is working on a way to inform users when their account is paired with the accessory.

Connected peripheralsAs spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp’s build number 25.37.10.71 on TestFlight introduced a new category called “Peripherals” in the Linked Devices interface.

The test comes just weeks after WhatsApp released a proper Apple Watch app, a change that also introduces new avenues for potential misuse.

To address this and similar risks, the latest WhatsApp beta adds more transparency around connected peripherals.

As with other linked devices, “Peripherals” displays the name of the Apple Watch associated with the ac…

The version of Apple Intelligence released in China must pass a test to ensure that it does nothing to challenge official government propaganda.

Apple intelligence in ChinaApple currently partners with OpenAI so that questions Siri is unable to answer fall back to ChatGPT.

It was also recently reported that Apple will use custom Google Gemini models on its own Apple intelligence servers to handle many of Siri’s own responses.

Questions Apple Intelligence must not answerThe Wall Street Journal reports that all AI models operating in China must pass a test to ensure that they do not allow the country’s citizens to access information on banned topics.

The regulations call for testing chatbots …

Photos and video footage of a simple printed mock-up of an iPhone Fold gave us a decent sense of how the device might look if the most recent rumour about the aspect ratios is accurate.

While the exterior display shape would be a radical departure, more 9to5Mac readers liked it than disliked it.

Instead of the closed device having a display shape similar to existing iPhones, the report said that it would have a shorter and wider aspect ratio.

3D printed mockupWe looked yesterday at photos and video footage of a simple printed mockup of this shape, and MakerWorld user Subsy has now created files for a 3D printed version.

However, it is consistent with the earlier report, and is certainly int…

Over the years, Apple TV has built up a surprisingly strong catalog for music lovers.

The decision comes just a few days before the Texas App Store Accountability Act (SB 2420) was set to take effect.

In a nutshell, the law would make Apple accountable for age verification on the App Store, a responsibility that Apple has been seeking to avoid.

Today, as reported by The Verge, Federal Judge Robert Pitman granted a preliminary injunction on SB 2420, stating that despite recognizing ”the importance of ongoing efforts to better safeguard children when they are on their devices,” SB 2420 “is more likely than not unconstitutional”.

As set out below, the Court finds a likelihood that, when considered on the merits, SB 2420 violates the First AmendmentDespite today’s injunction, SB…

Starting next year, Apple will allow app sideloading and external payment links for users in Brazil, following an antitrust settlement with local regulators.

Since then, the legal back-and-forth closely followed the script seen in other countries where Apple has faced similar antitrust scrutiny.

Days before those changes were set to take effect, CADE and Apple entered a new round of negotiations, temporarily suspending enforcement.

Under the settlement, Apple must allow alternative app distribution channels in Brazil, allow developers to link to external payment options, and allow third-party payment methods to be offered alongside Apple’s in-app purchase system.

Apple TVNot the Apple TV device, not the Apple TV app, but rather the Apple TV subscription service.

With wide recognition in both entertainment awards and pop culture in general, Apple TV had its best year yet.

The overall state of Apple’s hardware designI do understand the irony of having this item come right after clocking the iPhone Air as lackluster.

But I also just said that it doesn’t look like the problem with the iPhone Air was its design.

Apple Vision ProThis device also falls squarely under the “it’s a shame” category, alongside the iPhone Air.

Three months ago, I chose the iPhone Air over the iPhone 17 Pro.

But despite my overall satisfaction with iPhone Air, over the last few weeks the iPhone 17 Pro has become more tempting for me.

That’s for two main reasons:Minor iPhone Air issues Life circumstance changesCamera issues I likely wouldn’t encounter on iPhone 17 ProLet’s start with the issues I’ve experienced with iPhone Air.

Reconsidering the iPhone 17 ProThese camera issues alone aren’t enough reason to consider swapping my iPhone Air for an iPhone 17 Pro.

Are you an iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air user?

Anthropic собираются купить разработчика Bun, наверное лучшей инфраструктуры для разработки на JavaScript/TypeScript.

Лежит Cloudflare и пачка других сервисов https://www.the-independent.com/tech/cloudflare-down-twitter-not-working-outage-b2867367.html

Пользовались Replicate для рантайма ваших (или чужих) нейронок? Теперь это Cloudflare! Покупка очень разумная, интересно как изменятся цены и вообще предложение компании со временем. Раньше цены были не блестящими, однако с учетом удобства даже я несколько раз пользовался. https://blog.cloudflare.com/replicate-joins-cloudflare/

Синоптики в США все больше доверяют модели прогнозирования погоды от Deep Mind, а не своим старым привычным моделям. Вообще рынок прогнозов погоды огромный, и уже больше 10 лет все ждут пока новые модели (на базе обьемных вычислений, нейронок и тп) научатся гарантированно превосходить старые. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/16/google-deepmind-hurricane-forecast

Лидеры прошлой ИИ-революции побежали делать новые компании и собираются развивать World Models. Причем чем дальше тем больше. Стартовала все Fei-Fei Li, она активно начала пушить эту тему еще 5 лет назад, а теперь вот то же самое твердит Ян ЛиКун.Удивительное дело. Исследователи уходят из корпораций и получают венчурные инвестиции за то, чтобы попробовать то, что остается научным экспериментом. Вот это то, что действительно революционизировал OpenAI - показал что просто технология теперь снова стоит очень, очень немало https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/metas-chief-ai-scientist-yann-lecun-depart-and-launch-ai-start-focused-world-models

OpenAI показала Aardvark — агент на базе Codex для автономного исследования проблем в безопасности. Буквально будет исследовать код, находить дырки и их показывать в коде. Любопытное решение, но далеко от полноты, тем более, что это приватная бета.https://www.zdnet.com/article/openai-unveils-aardvark-a-gpt-5-powered-agent-for-autonomous-cybersecurity-research/

Cursor запускает Cursor 2.0, свою первую модель для кодирования Composer, которая, по словам компании, в 4 раза быстрее аналогичных моделей. Я бы не верил особо, отзывы от тех, кто успел посмотреть, пока сомнительные.https://cursor.com/blog/2-0

OpenAI купили разработчика Sky.app — небольшого приложения, которое улучшало использование ИИ на десктопе. Приложение по видео было неплохим, но есть один вопрос — кажется, навайбкодить такое приложение с помощью OpenAI было делом нескольких часов 🙂https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-software-applications-incorporated/

Вообще Snap (который снапчат) - довольно успешная компания. Но вот история с очками, которые уже который год производятся в убыток - тянет компанию назад довольно существенно. Эван нашел решение - AR-подразделение поднимает инвестиции, отдельно от основной компании. Похоже что инвесторами станет фонд Саудовской Аравии. https://sources.news/p/snap-eyes-1-billion-fundraise-for

Первая в мире камера, в которой есть алгоритмическая система подтверждения, что это именно фото, данные в нем неизменны и получены с датчика фото. Подтверждение построено на базе ZK и покрывает не только пиксели, но и метадату.В некоторых фотоаппаратах такое уже пробовали делать, но очень уж примитивно, а тут все по серьезному. Вот к чему приводит развитие нейросетей — теперь нам нужны камеры с аппаратным подтверждением подлинности. Красиво, ничего не скажешь. Правда, непонятно, кто мешает вскрыть камеру, нанести на ее сенсор нужные пиксели и зафиксировать кадр ...https://roc.camera

Я большой фанат и все еще верю, что Cloud Gaming (это когда играешь ты на серверах, а у тебя только тонкий клиент) - это большое будущее.

OpenAI запустили браузер Atlas. Умеет отвечать на вопросы по странице, но и Агентский режим тоже есть — это когда браузер используется как агент и буквально сам ходит по страницам. На демо показали, как он сам ходит в онлайн-магазин и выполняет запрос "найди рецепт пирога и закажи все необходимое для него". Впечатляет, да.https://www.axios.com/2025/10/21/openai-atlas-new-ai-web-browser-release-date
