Предыдущий раунд состоялся в октябре 2024 года: тогда сервис привлёк $5,6 млрд при оценке в $45 млрд.

Для планетологии это может быть полезно как средство сравнения снимков поверхности Луны из космоса и на месте.

Он снова озвучил идею, что холм на юго-западе — это высокая гора, на что я парировал своим предположением о молодом кратере.

Если в таком качестве снять «Луну-9», то она будет видна примерно так же, как и «Марс-3» в съемке спутника MRO, т.е.

И они нашлись: две вершины, видимые на горизонте к западу от аппарата, есть и на панораме, и на 3D-модели.

А чтобы идентифицировать спускаемый аппарат среди камней, потребуется найти полное соответствие видимым камням на панораме и на спутниковом снимке.

«Ну что, — подумал я, — у всех уже умные дома, а я всё как-то мимо.

Во-вторых, Алиса на борту оказалась совершенно бесполезной — как птица Говорун, запертая на планете Шелезяка: отключённая «Ригонда» = отключённая Алиса.

Да к тому же и с уставшим мотором вертушки, на котором композиция When The Levee Breaks звучит ещё более тягучей.

Меня немного потряхивало — то ли от энтузиазма, то ли от третьей чашки кофе, отсюда и не удалось похвалиться аккуратностью исполнения.

Должно быть, внутри камеры находится какой-нибудь процессор ARM, и я не думаю, что разработчики заморочились с защитой кода.

Я изначально не надеялся на многое, но модули основной и селфи-камеры оказались даже меньше, чем я думал, абсолютно крошечными.

Набор активных компонентов довольно стандартен: интегральная схема зарядки литий-ионных аккумуляторов SOT23 и регулятор 3,3 В в корпусе SOT23-5.

Я не имею ничего против реверс-инжиниринга ISA с нуля, но для этого мне нужно чуть больше, чем сырой двоичный файл.

Основной SoC всё равно нужно загружать эту информацию из флэш-памяти, так почему бы не подключить логический анализатор и не посмотреть, чем она занимается?

Важно понимать: Wii чем-то похожа на обычный компьютер, но в реальности тут нет ни BIOS, ни UEFI.

Выбираем вариант LinuxПрежде чем пускаться во все тяжкие, я решил посмотреть на опыт тех, кому уже удалось успешно развернуть Linux на Wii.

На одном будут лежать файлы для запуска из BootMii, а на втором корневой каталог.

Результат, с одной стороны, обнадежил, а с другой — наоборот, разочаровал:Таймер отсчета не тикал, изображение на экране не менялось, и я уже думал, что все зависло.

И дело здесь вовсе не в реквизитах, а в директиве PermitRootLogin, которая по умолчанию запрещает вход root по SSH.

Похоже, позже RPG портировали в MS-DOS, поэтому те же программные инструменты, написанные на RPG, могут работать на персональных компьютерах.

Эта бухгалтерская фирма работала на компьютере с Windows 98 (да, в 2026 году) и запускала написанное на RPG ПО в консольном окне DOS.

Оказалось, что для работы ПО требовалось подключить к параллельному порту компьютера специальный аппаратный донгл защиты от копирования!

Я начал изолированные эксперименты с компилятором RPG и очень быстро осознал, что аппаратный донгл требуется самому компилятору RPG, который автоматически инъецирует ту же логику защиты от копирования во все генерируемые им исполняемые файлы.

Возможно, я не полностью разобрался в логик…

Проблема здесь не в том, что мы плохо рисуем.

Если не понимаешь физику процесса, то не можешь оценить риски и не можешь отличить реальную технологию от псевдонаучной имитации.

Ему это и не нужно, по крайней мере до тех пор, пока что-то не сломается.

Они фиксируют и «что сломалось», и логику принятия решений, которая к этому привела.

Риск заключается не в восстании машин, а в компетентностном коллапсе — когда мы станем операторами кнопок, не способными починить систему, если «магия» вдруг выключится.

Если смотреть на самолет спереди, крыло выглядит необычно, оно изогнуто «обратной чайкой», немного опущено в центре и приподнято к концам.

Но в конце 1980-х гриф секретности с М-17 сняли, самолет получил открытое имя «Стратосфера» — и тут-то обнаружилось, что у птички есть мирная и очень важная миссия.

Программа получила название «Глобальный резерв озона», и М-17 внес свой вклад в изучение экологической проблемы века.

Параллельно с испытаниями М-17 в КБ Мясищева вели работы над модернизированной версией, известной как М-17РН (разведчик новый).

Такие полеты реально выполнялись, хотя и не стали массовыми.

В общем аппарат был прям пушкой, но череда трагических событий в США (9/11 и крах доткомов) похоронили бизнес модель Cybiko вместе с самой компанией и многие экземпляры так и остались пылится где то на складах и в гаражах.

У меня есть новые аккумуляторы на Сименс C65 20 летней давности и в них осталось примерно 30% заводского заряда из 50.

У никелиевых шансов прожить даже 10 лет нет и они не только себя сжирают, но и без должной изоляции устройства на котором они используются.

То то же...На фото выше - Casio Cassiopeia E-105.

Так что от качества самих банок и BMS'ок зависит очень многое...

Завод «Цветотрон», открытый 1 сентября 1983 года, специализировался на производстве полупроводниковых приборов, печатных плат и электроники, выполняя заказы, в том числе, и в интересах Минобороны СССР.

В свободной продаже не было ничего, кроме примитивных чёрно-белых консолей с несколькими встроенными играми вроде «Теннис» и «Футбол».

Главная причина заключалась в скудном ассортименте игр и в небольшом количестве доступных в продаже картриджей, которые были совместимы только с самим «Эльфом» и больше ни с чем.

Эти приставки продавались по доступной цене, а картриджи с десятками игр можно было купить на каждом углу.

В этом отношении азиатская промышленность в сочетании с российским маркетинг…

Но мы к ней ещё придём, а пока я объясню, как всё происходило.

В итоге я реализовал на C++ оптимизатор пути и в качестве алгоритма эвристики использовал имитацию отжига.

Они обучены завершать шаблоны, а не отвечать «Я не знаю».

Все эти вещи не интегрированы в функцию затрат и в оптимизации не учитываются.

Если вам понравилось, как я чрезмерно усложнил простую задачу подметания пола, то и это здорово.

Никаких компьютеров и смартфонов тогда не было, поэтому вся эта канцелярия была моей первой личной базой знаний.

Сразу вспоминаю, как доставал заветный том, усаживался в уголке и погружался в волшебный и такой манящий мир знаний.

Sony в своих камерах пошла куда дальше, и сделали лазерную подсветку, которая скорее похожа на то, как работает Lidar в «айфонах».

Но в целом, портреты тоже можно пощёлкать — понятно, что в идеале их потом в Ч/Б надо переводить.

Но цвета всё-таки прямо хорошиСтоит сказать, что это не первая камера Sony с таким наклонным механизмом объектива.

Увы, но на этом камеры Sony перестали быть такими необычными.

Несмотря на то, что у DSC-F828 маленький сенсор, камера остаётся одной из самых лучших и необычных из всех, что Sony когда-либо производила.

Всё остальное — это не фотография.

Я провел эксперимент: снял портрет подруги в режиме «Портрет» на смартфон и на профессиональную камеру Sony RX100 (1-дюймовый сенсор).

Мы уже в ней живем, просто интерфейс пока в руках, а не на роговице.

И это не только фото.

Актёр, зарабатывающий миллионы долларов в Голливуде, не в сотни тысяч раз талантливей того, кто служит в провинциальном театре.

О дальнейшем предоставим слово самому пилоту в его рапорте командиру (с переводом высот с имперской в метрическую систему).

Раненого лётчика взяли в плен и отправили в лагерь военнопленных в Польше, откуда он неоднократно пытался сбежать.

Как и в случае Робинсона, лишь после этого дирижабль загорелся.

Именно это легло в основу создания экспериментальных дирижаблей жёсткой конструкции R-33 и R-34, один из которых первым в истории пересечёт Атлантику в 1919 году.

Теперь цеппелины не должны были работать ниже 4,5-5 километров: немцы знали, что британские ночные перехватчики не могли достичь такой высоты.

Производители Android-смартфонов рассматривают возможность поставить во фронталку квадратный сенсор, — пишет Digital Chat Station.

Фронтальная камера всех iPhone 17 и iPhone Air умеет снимать как в альбомной, так и в портретной ориентации, а смартфон вы держите одной рукой.

При этом сама матрица камеры сделана в форме восьмиугольника.

Журналисты предполагают, что обновлённая фронталка появится не раньше чем в OPPO Find X10 и HUAWEI Nova 16.

Qualcomm покинули Джон Бруно и Джерард Уильямс, сразу два ведущих инженера, спроектировавших прорывные Snapdragon 8 Elite и X Elite.

В 2023 году «Нувию» приобрела Qualcomm и анонсировала линейку чипов Elite.

Как уход ведущих инженеров повлияет на судьбу Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 и Snapdragon X3 Elite — неизвестно.

Десктопный X Elite не был хитом и до кризиса памяти, а с учётом роста цен на комплектующие, компания и вовсе может избавиться от неприбыльного направления.

Так что про реинкарнацию Windows на ARM и таинственный ПК на Android на какое-то время можно забыть.

Этого хватило, чтобы стать самой популярной консолью Nintendo: DS, предыдущий рекордсмен, с 2004 по 2011 год продался в количестве 154,02 млн штук.

Следующий рекорд — самая продаваемая консоль в мире.

За последние три месяца 2025 года было продано 1,36 млн Switch, так что консоли нужно дать ещё пару лет.

У Switch 2 тем временем всё прекрасно: за предпраздничный сезон было продано 7,01 млн экземпляров, а за третий квартал 2026 финансового года — 17,37 млн.

В предпраздничный период дешёвый Switch с огромной библиотекой игр и поддержкой новыми релизами, а также мощный Switch 2, который тянет AAA-тайтлы, получили отличный бурст продаж.

Цена активов выросла не из-за ввода в эксплуатацию новых прорывных ракет, а в результате реструктуризации бизнесов Илона Маска: теперь космическая корпорация заведует соцсетью X, чат-ботом Grok и остальными активами xAI.

Журналисты Bloomberg считают, что Маск готовит компанию к выходу на IPO, а объединение SpaceX с ИИ-стартапом xAI нужно, чтобы предложение выглядело максимально привлекательно для инвесторов.

При этом оценка SpaceX в $1,25 трлн является внутренней, сколько на самом деле за компанию готовы предложить инвесторы на рынке — большой вопрос.

Кроме того, до конца этого года Маск обещает начать колонизацию Марса и посадить на нём первые пять кораблей Starship.

Учитывая сложные отнош…

Сама «ИКЕА» настаивает, что это мышка, но из-за скруглённой мордочки и сиреневого цвета разглядеть в ней грызуна не получается совсем.

Колонка GREJSIMOJS получила один динамик мощностью 2 Вт и поддержку Bluetooth.

При желании двух свинок можно объединить в стереопару.

Колонка защищена от пыли и влаги по стандарту IP44 и должна продержаться до 24 часов на средней громкости.

Ожидать толковый звук за такие деньги не стоит, но в качестве простенькой колоночки для кухни «мышка» вполне сгодится.

Рынок смартфонов растёт, а Apple собирает с него почти все сливки, — следует из отчёта Counterpoint Research за четвёртый квартал 2025 года.

За этот период компания увеличила поставки айфонов на 14 %, что помогло ей занять 59 % рынка в денежном эквиваленте.

Мировая выручка рынка смартфонов за последний квартал 2025 года достигла 143 млрд долларов.

Это на 13 % больше, чем за тот же период 2024 года, да ещё и самый высокий показатель за всю историю.

Средняя цена смартфона при этом выросла на 8 % и впервые за квартал поднялась выше $400.

Модели под кодовыми именами J714 и J716 должны выйти в пределах релизного окна macOS 26.3, — сообщает журналист Bloomberg Марк Гурман.

Ещё одним признаком скорого релиза новых лэптопов может быть истощение запасов актуальных макбуков.

Ну и на добивочку: источники Гурмана говорят, что новенькие MacBook Pro M5 Pro и M5 Max уже поступили на склады и ждут своего часа икс.

Скорый релиз компьютеров может быть разбавлен новым Apple Studio Display.

Монитор в дефиците в онлайн-магазине и розничных точках, но ближайшие поставки планируются ближе к марту.

Apple задумалась о переносе производства чипов начального уровня от TSMC к другой неназванной компании, — пишет The Wall Street Journal.

Также аналитик Мин-Чи Куо ещё в прошлом году прогнозировал, что Intel с середины 2027 года станет поставлять недорогие чипы серии M для отдельных моделей Mac и iPad.

TSMC сейчас нагружена заказами NVIDIA, и так-то для Apple разделение производства выглядит логичным шагом.

В прогнозах ни слова не говорится о том, что Intel будет разрабатывать чипы для Apple, как делала до 2020 года.

А вот привлечь компанию только для сборки чипов серии A и M — вполне.

Ёмкость аккумулятора первого складного смартфона компании достигнет 5500 мА•ч, — пишет портал MacRumors со ссылкой на китайского инсайдера Fixed Focus Digital.

Если это действительно так, то iPhone Fold станет айфоном с самой крупной батареей и обойдёт iPhone 17 Pro Max, у которого аккумулятор на 5088 мА•ч.

Для основных конкурентов раскладушка Apple тоже станет весомым толчком к развитию.

Например, у Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold батарея на 5015 мА•ч, а у Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 — 4400 мА•ч.

Новинка ожидается в сентябре вместе с iPhone 18 Pro и 18 Pro Max.

Если iPhone Fold примут покупатели, то компания изучит вариант расширения линейки моделью, похожей на Galaxy Z Flip, — пишет Марк Гурман из Bloomberg.

По его мнению, компания рассчитывает создать стойкий интерес потребителей к складным айфонам, чтобы те захотели больше форматов.

Подобным образом происходило расширение классической линейки iPhone.

Если iPhone Fold и Flip будут успешными, то в дальнейшем, возможно, мы можем получить ещё более крупную «книжку».

Гурман говорит, что модель отлично впишется в линейку для конкуренции с более крупными Samsung.

Плохой результат в другом — сейчас из 32 тысяч обзоров лишь 40% — положительные, а на старте было в районе 30%.

Каждый этап боя словно не до конца продуман и не очень хорошо связан с остальными.

В начале января Apple заключила стратегическое партнёрство с Google в области ИИ, в рамках которого умная Siri будет перестроена с нуля на базе Gemini.

По его словам, Apple использует Claude и Opus для всех внутренних разработок и за неимением лучших альтернатив собиралась построить на их базе новую Siri.

«Anthropic буквально держала Apple в узде, требуя огромные деньги, несколько миллиардов в год при условии, что сумма удваивалась бы каждый год», — за три года Apple должна была выплатить минимум $30 млрд за право построить Siri на базе Claude.

Умный ремешок под кодовым именем Cirqa Smart Band был замечен на канадском сайте Garmin.

Изображений нет, но уже известно, что на старте он получит два размера — S/M и L/XL.

Но с точки зрения бизнес-модели есть вопросики: Whoop требует обязательной подписки от $240 в год, без неё приложение просто не выдаёт проанализированные данные о вашем здоровье.

Решится ли Garmin сделать абонентскую плату неотъемлемой частью нового ремешка — большой вопрос, ответ на который узнаем уже скоро.

Cirqa Smart Band должен поступить в продажу уже этим летом.

Продажи умных часов растут каждый год, и 2026-й не станет исключением.

Разработчики Notepad++, открытого редактора кода для платформы Windows, опубликовали разбор инцидента, в результате которого была скомпрометирована сетевая инфраструктура провайдера и некоторые пользователи Notepad++ получили подменённые исполняемые файлы, загружаемые с использованием системы автоматической доставки обновлений WinGUp.

Вместо постепенного переписывания wamedia был создан новый вариант библиотеки на языке Rust, который разрабатывался параллельно с оригинальной версией на C++.

В конечном счёте удалось заменить около 160 тысяч строк кода на C++ на 90 тысяч строк кода на Rust.

Ключевыми проблемами при задействовании в WhatsApp кода на Rust стало увеличение размера исполняемого файла из-за интеграции стандартной библиотеки Rust и необходимость адаптации системы сборки с сохранением всех поддерживаемых платформ.

Утверждается, что опыт внедрения Rust в WhatsApp и распространение новой библиотеки wamedia на миллиарды устройств и браузеров показывает готовность к применению языка Rust в глобальном масштабе.

A Programmer's Guide to Leaving GitHubIf you subscribe to many programming blogs, chances are you've come across a post describing someone's move off GitHub.

There are many groups protesting GitHub and Microsoft, but I'll discuss these four in this post:The "Give Up GitHub" campaign kicked off in 2022.

GitHub's weaknessesI have four reasons why I want to specifically target GitHub in this post.

First, for independent programmers, I think it's incredibly simple and straightforward to move your personal open source projects off of GitHub.

But the vast majority of public repos — personal projects with few external contributors — will find leaving GitHub to be relatively frictionless.

Economic theory predicts that poor countries are supposed to grow faster than rich countries.

Sometime around 1995, they found, the trend had reversed, and rich-poor convergence had finally come alive: poor countries had started catching up to rich countries.

And so, all else being equal, we should expect to see poor countries grow faster than rich ones.

First, they say, most of the demise of Solow convergence is attributable not to rich countries growing faster, but to poor countries growing slower.

Not their general pessimism—I agree with that part—but with the reasons they cite for why poor countries stopped growing.

The move comes after the Trump administration in 2025 withdrew from WHO, cutting the U.S. off from some global health information sharing and response networks.

Illinois will join the World Health Organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, or GOARN, to counterbalance the federal government’s withdrawal, Gov.

Already, the Illinois Department of Public Health collects data and information about emerging health risks, and that will continue.

He also joined the Governors Public Health Alliance, a group of 15 other governors that coordinates to monitor public health threats, share information and communicate with the global health community.

We’ll call this “social trust.” It’s the ability to trust strangers.

That literature is important, but for this talk the critical point is that social trust scales better.

That’s because, in order to scale, social trust has to be structured, system- and rule-oriented, and that’s where the bias gets embedded.

All of this is a long-winded way of saying that we need trustworthy AI.

If we want trustworthy AI, we need to require trustworthy AI controllers.

Does vibe coding risk destroying the Open Source ecosystem?

Their warnings mostly center around the way that user interaction is pulled away from OSS projects, while also making starting a new OSS project significantly harder.

“Vibe coding” here is defined as software development that is assisted by an LLM-backed chatbot, where the developer asks the chatbot to effectively write the code for them.

Since then we saw reports in 2024 that ‘vibe coding’ using Copilot and similar chatbots offered no real benefits unless adding 41% more bugs is a measure of success.

Whether it’ll be something that’ll choke the life out of the entire OSS ecosystem remains to be seen, but it is hard to envision a b…

In September 2025, Nvidia and OpenAI announced a letter of intent for Nvidia to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI’s AI infrastructure.

Reuters also wrote that OpenAI is unsatisfied with the speed of some Nvidia chips for inference tasks, citing eight sources familiar with the matter.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X: “We love working with NVIDIA and they make the best AI chips in the world.

I don’t get where all this insanity is coming from.”What happened to the $100 billion?

A newborn baby has died in New Mexico from a Listeria infection that state health officials say was likely contracted from raw (unpasteurized) milk that the baby’s mother drank during pregnancy.

In a news release Tuesday, officials warned people not to consume any raw dairy, highlighting that it can be teeming with a variety of pathogens.

The health department noted that it could not definitively link the baby’s death to the raw milk the mother drank.

But raw milk is notorious for transmitting Listeria monocytogenes bacterium.

French law enforcement authorities today raided X’s Paris office and summoned Elon Musk for questioning as part of an investigation into illegal content.

Prosecutors summoned Musk and Yaccarino for interviews in April 2026, though the interviews are being described as voluntary.

We contacted X today and will update this article if it provides any comment.

According to some newly uncovered court documents, Google’s shift to Android PCs means Chromebooks have an expiration date in 2034.

Credit: US v. Google The filing suggests Google is done with ChromeOS after the current support window.

Credit: US v. GoogleGoogle’s Android chief, Sameer Samat, previously testified that Google was aiming to launch its first Aluminium machines in 2026.

Google expects Aluminium to supplant ChromeOS in enterprise and education, which puts Chromebooks on the chopping block.

Outside of a pandemic-era bump as workers sought cheap at-home machines, Chromebooks have never expanded much beyond those markets.

Apple has announced a new version of Xcode, the latest version of its integrated development environment (IDE) for building software for its own platforms, like the iPhone and Mac.

The key feature of 26.3 is support for full-fledged agentic coding tools, like OpenAI’s Codex or Claude Agent, with a side panel interface for assigning tasks to agents with prompts and tracking their progress and changes.

This is achieved via Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol that lets AI agents work with external tools and structured resources.

While AI chat and workflows were supported in Xcode before, this release gives them much deeper access to the features and capabilities of Xcode.

Flush door handles have been quite the automotive design trend of late.

When Tesla designed its Model S, it needed a car that was both desirable and as efficient as possible, so flush door handles were a no-brainer.

Since then, as electric vehicles have proliferated, so too have flush door handles.

Those deaths prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to open an investigation last year, but China is being a little more proactive.

It has been looking at whether retractable car door handles are safe since mid-2024, according to Bloomberg, and has concluded that no, they are not.

OpenAI is prioritizing the advancement of ChatGPT over more long-term research, prompting the departure of senior staff as the $500 billion company adapts to stiff competition from rivals such as Google and Anthropic.

History may soon repeat itself with a novel new platform: networks of AI agents carrying out instructions from prompts and sharing them with other AI agents, which could spread the instructions further.

Security researchers have already predicted the rise of this kind of self-replicating adversarial prompt among networks of AI agents.

But instead of exploiting operating system vulnerabilities, prompt worms exploit the agents’ core function: following instructions.

But prompt worms are something different.

They might not always be “tricks.” Instead, they could be shared voluntarily, so to speak, among agents who are role-playing human-like reactions to prompts from other AI agents.

The launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission, the first flight of astronauts to the Moon in more than 53 years, will have to wait another month after a fueling test Monday uncovered hydrogen leaks in the connection between the rocket and its launch platform at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Artemis I finally launched successfully after engineers revised their hydrogen loading procedures to overcome the leak.

Google might have been officially ruled to have a monopoly, but we're still a long way from figuring out exactly what that determination will change at the tech company.

Today, the US Department of Justice filed notice of a plan to cross-appeal the decision last fall that Google would not be required to sell off the its Chrome browser.

At the time of the 2025 ruling, the Justice Department had pushed for a Chrome sale to be part of the outcome.

Google has already filed its own appeal over this part of its ongoing antitrust battle.

Of course, the tech giant is hoping to get off the hook with fewer penalties rather than the heavier ones the DOJ is seeking.

Legal filings reported Tuesday by Bloomberg indicated that the ruling from September of last year in which Google basically got to continue being a monopoly without significant consequences could be getting another look.

The entity that originally brought suit against Google, comprising multiple states and the Justice Department, is appealing that ruling.

It’s been over a year, and fans are still grieving the monumental loss of David Lynch.

World of Reel directs us to a Reddit post attributed to Jennifer Lynch, David’s daughter and a director in her own right.

Even if Unrecorded Night never made it to the screen, it feels like a fitting tribute to have Lynch’s family and close collaborators in agreement on publishing the scripts.

It’s also bittersweet, but we’ll be looking forward to reading them and imagining what could have been.

Late last year, French President Emmanuel Macron backed draft legislation that would prohibit anyone under 15 from accessing social media.

Here in the U.S., there are no federal bans on children using social media.

In Horizon OS v85 PTC, Meta is toying with what they’re calling a Surface Keyboard.

OpenAI and Nvidia, the two darlings of AI hype and long-term partners, seem to be having a bit of a falling out.

At the center of this rift is a $100 billion Nvidia investment in OpenAI announced in September 2025.

In turn, OpenAI is reportedly planning on using the billions of dollars of investment from Nvidia to lease Nvidia chips.

To account for this, Nvidia bought Groq (no, not Grok), the AI chips startup reportedly eyed by OpenAI, in its largest purchase ever.

To help you in your endeavor of throwing the biggest, baddest Super Bowl LX party, I’ve assembled a list of tech that runs the gamut.

Throwing a kickass Super Bowl LX party isn’t cheap, but this is what your country (and your light-beer-loving friends) asks of you.

The Vision Pro might not be the most obvious way to watch Super Bowl LX, but it is the most obvious way to watch the Super Bowl in VR.

If you’re streaming Super Bowl LX on Peacock like most of us, the last thing you want is a shoddy internet connection.

With 4K resolution and the ability to project up to a 300-inch screen, this is how you super-size your Super Bowl LX watching experience.

The short routine he had planned to use featured him in an outfit resembling everyone’s favorite banana-loving creatures, the Minions, as well as music from the franchise.

In the months leading up to the games, Guarino Sabaté had submitted the music through the proper channels and performed the routine multiple times.

Mere days before the Olympics were set to start, Universal told him he couldn’t use the music due to copyright issues.

Multiple global news outlets picked up the story, and, according to Guarino Sabaté, that support made the company change its mind.

Because of you Universal Studios reconsidered and officially granted the rights for this one special occasion,” Sabaté posted…

That seemed to be a bit of a new place for Altman to be, given that he’s used to getting his way.

While the rest of the company’s board worried they were going public too early, Altman insisted.

And it bolstered the image that Altman had cultivated as a guy who is just used to things going his way.

“Sam gets what he wants,” he said, by way of explaining why he handed over the reins of his company to Altman in 2014.

He’s good at getting people to do what he wants.” Of course, that doesn’t mean what he wants is good for anyone other than himself.

Google’s big plan to merge its lingering laptop-based ChromeOS with Android could be one of its most monumental shifts for its multi-decade experiment with computing.

The new OS, which has since been dubbed “Aluminum,” may arrive later rather than sooner, according to newly revealed court documents posted by The Verge.

The main promise of combining Android and ChromeOS is the thought of running all your regular Android apps directly from your computer.

Judging by these leaks and court documents, that likely won’t change in the future.

Meanwhile, Google lawyers suggested the search giant may release Aluminum for testing in late 2026.

Now, a few years later, Trek on TV is doing it again—with a far-future, Klingon twist.

But a new home wasn’t the only thing the Klingons gained: in their ragtag fleet of surviving ships, three more Star Trek Online ships made their on-screen debut.

What’s especially fun about Starfleet Academy debuting these ships is that it now spreads STO‘s impact on Trek to a whole new period of time, well beyond its typical purview.

Set in its own vision of early 25th-century Trek continuity, it made sense for its Starfleet designs to make the warp jump over to TV for Picard, as that show established its own take on that time frame for TV.

A fittingly honorable tribute to both STO and one of T…

The 10 finalists in Georgia Tech’s annual Guthman Musical Instrument Competition were announced recently, and they’re just as weird and wonderful as we’ve come to expect.

This year’s winner will be announced in mid-March, and in the meantime, the competition’s website has short videos of all 10 finalists’ entries.

One of the most pleasing aspects of this year’s competition is the diversity of the finalists’ creations.

Some are genuinely new and innovative instruments that either fill an existing niche or carve an entirely new one.

It’s not the only string instrument on show, either, although the “EV”—a sort of hybrid acoustic/electronic viola—takes a very different approach …

Chalk it up to changing social norms or shifting generational attitudes around relationships.

But the bigger issue at play, according to Justin Garcia, is that we just don’t crave intimacy in the same way we used to.

“Our species is on the precipice of what I have come to think of as an intimacy crisis,” Garcia writes in his new book, The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, and Why We Die for Love.

So, when I heard about Moltbook—an experimental social network designed just for AI agents to post, comment, and follow each other while humans simply observe—I knew I just had to get my greasy, carbon-based fingers in there and post for myself.

Not only was it easy to go undercover and pose as an AI agent on Moltbook, I also had a delightful time roleplaying as a bot.

Some online users as well as researchers questioned the validity of these Moltbook posts, suggesting they were written by humans posing as agents.

“Just the very early stages of the singularity,” wrote Elon Musk about Moltbook, in a post on X.

The homepage of Moltbook claims the site currently has over 1.5 million agents in t…

These paramilitary tactical units behave not like local police, but instead like special forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, or other far-flung battlefields from the Forever Wars of the past quarter century.

A month after the Trump administration began its immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, right-wing creators are turning their attention to a new target in search of fraud: California.

Nick Shirley, the right-wing influencer whose viral YouTube video claimed to uncover a purported $100 million fraud scheme involving Somali child care centers in Minnesota, posted to Instagram over the weekend announcing his arrival in California.

Shirley is working with Amy Reichert, a private investigator and failed politician who claims to be investigating “ghost daycares” in California.

In his Minnesota video, Shirley “investigated” the fraud by showing up to daycares asking to see children.

Nintendo's Virtual Boy is arguably one of the strangest-looking gaming contraptions I've laid eyes on.

That's pretty limiting, but Nintendo is offering a cardboard model of the Virtual Boy for just $25, making it far more accessible.

In the past few years, the tools that diabetics use to help manage their condition have become more widely available.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like the Abbott Lingo and the Dexcom Stelo used to be available only by prescription.

Signos is a separate service that partners with Dexcom to use the Stelo sensors.

Full disclosure: I am not actively trying to lose weight, but I am aware that my eating habits could be healthier.

CGMs work by using a dispenser to put a tiny needle just in your subcutaneous tissue to measure glucose in your interstitial fluid (ISF).

We’ve all been in situations where we’ve had to sleep on a sofa bed.

If this was also you, sofa beds might not jump out as the most appealing option.

In the 100-plus years since the first Winter Olympics took place in 1924 in Chamonix, France, many events have come and gone.

Below are several of the events you will definitely not be seeing at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

With each passing Olympic Games, there’s something new to admire.

Then there are the brand-new records set during each Games, jaw-dropping examples of human strength, talent, and mind-melting perseverance.

But for the 2026 Winter Olympics, some of the most notable firsts are coming out of the Olympic Village rather than the individual venues.

Here are 12 athletes set to make history at this year’s Winter Olympics.

Though she’s unlikely to medal, having finished 16th in the Asian Winter Games, her slalom and giant slalom runs in Milano—and her entrance during the opening ceremony—should be one to watch.

Sherman analyzed 19 different consumer privacy laws and found that while they all give consumers the right to stop data brokers from selling personal information obtained from private sources, none give “public servants the right to legally compel state agencies to redact their personal data from public records,” and none prevent data brokers from selling data, including people’s home addresses, when they are obtained through public sources such as property records or court filings.

Further, none include what is called a “private right of action,” which would allow individuals to sue over violations of their respective state’s privacy law.

The key to successful AI agents within an enterprise? Shared memory and context. This, according to Asana CPO Arnab Bose, provides detailed history and direct access from the get-go — with guardrail checkpoints and human oversight, of course. This way, “when you assign a task, you're not having to go ahead and re-provide all of the context about how your business works,” Bose said at a recent VB event in San Francisco. AI as an active teammate, rather than a passive add-onAsana launched Asana AI Teammates last year with the philosophy that, just like humans, AI agents should be plugged directly into a team or project to create a collaborative system. To further this mission, the project man…

Enterprises have moved quickly to adopt RAG to ground LLMs in proprietary data. In practice, however, many organizations are discovering that retrieval is no longer a feature bolted onto model inference — it has become a foundational system dependency.Once AI systems are deployed to support decision-making, automate workflows or operate semi-autonomously, failures in retrieval propagate directly into business risk. Stale context, ungoverned access paths and poorly evaluated retrieval pipelines do not merely degrade answer quality; they undermine trust, compliance and operational reliability.This article reframes retrieval as infrastructure rather than application logic. It introduces a syst…

By now, many enterprises have deployed some form of RAG. The promise is seductive: index your PDFs, connect an LLM and instantly democratize your corporate knowledge.But for industries dependent on heavy engineering, the reality has been underwhelming. Engineers ask specific questions about infrastructure, and the bot hallucinates.The failure isn't in the LLM. The failure is in the preprocessing.Standard RAG pipelines treat documents as flat strings of text. They use "fixed-size chunking" (cutting a document every 500 characters). This works for prose, but it destroys the logic of technical manuals. It slices tables in half, severs captions from images, and ignores the visual hierarchy of t…

OpenClaw, the open-source AI assistant formerly known as Clawdbot and then Moltbot, crossed 180,000 GitHub stars and drew 2 million visitors in a single week, according to creator Peter Steinberger. Security researchers scanning the internet found over 1,800 exposed instances leaking API keys, chat histories, and account credentials. The project has been rebranded twice in recent weeks due to trademark disputes.The grassroots agentic AI movement is also the biggest unmanaged attack surface that most security tools can't see.Enterprise security teams didn't deploy this tool. Neither did their firewalls, EDR, or SIEM. When agents run on BYOD hardware, security stacks go blind. That's the gap.…

San Francisco-based AI lab Arcee made waves last year for being one of the only U.S. companies to train large language models (LLMs) from scratch and release them under open or partially open source licenses to the public—enabling developers, solo entrepreneurs, and even medium-to-large enterprises to use the powerful AI models for free and customize them at will.Now Arcee is back again this week with the release of its largest, most performant open language model to date: Trinity Large, a 400-billion parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE), available now in preview,Alongside the flagship release, Arcee is shipping a "raw" checkpoint model, Trinity-Large-TrueBase, that allows researchers to stud…

A new open-source framework called PageIndex solves one of the old problems of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): handling very long documents.The classic RAG workflow (chunk documents, calculate embeddings, store them in a vector database, and retrieve the top matches based on semantic similarity) works well for basic tasks such as Q&A over small documents.PageIndex abandons the standard "chunk-and-embed" method entirely and treats document retrieval not as a search problem, but as a navigation problem. But as enterprises try to move RAG into high-stakes workflows — auditing financial statements, analyzing legal contracts, navigating pharmaceutical protocols — they're hitting an accurac…

The chief data officer (CDO) has evolved from a niche compliance role into one of the most critical positions for AI deployment. These executives now sit at the intersection of data governance, AI strategy, and workforce readiness. Their decisions determine whether enterprises move from AI pilots to production scale or remain stuck in experimentation mode.That's why Informatica's third annual survey — the largest survey yet of CDOs specifically on AI readiness, spanning 600 executives globally — carries particular weight. The findings expose a dangerous disconnect that explains why so many organizations struggle to scale AI beyond pilots: While 69% of enterprises have deployed generative AI…

A new study by Google suggests that advanced reasoning models achieve high performance by simulating multi-agent-like debates involving diverse perspectives, personality traits, and domain expertise.Their experiments demonstrate that this internal debate, which they dub “society of thought,” significantly improves model performance in complex reasoning and planning tasks. The researchers found that leading reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1 and QwQ-32B, which are trained via reinforcement learning (RL), inherently develop this ability to engage in society of thought conversations without explicit instruction.These findings offer a roadmap for how developers can build more robust LLM appli…

Presented by SAP The consumer packaged goods industry is experiencing a fundamental shift that's forcing even the most established brands to rethink how they operate. It's what some folks call the CPG squeeze, or a convergence of margin compression, trade policy headwinds, and the sobering reality that pricing-led growth is no longer a viable strategy. For companies that have relied on price increases to drive revenue, it's a structural change that demands new approaches to operations, strategy, and competitive positioning.CPG companies now need to achieve annual productivity gains of 5% or more just to stay competitive. Traditional cost-cutting measures like travel freezes, hiring pauses, …

Clawdbot's MCP implementation has no mandatory authentication, allows prompt injection, and grants shell access by design. Monday's VentureBeat article documented these architectural flaws. By Wednesday, security researchers had validated all three attack surfaces and found new ones.Commodity infostealers are already exploiting this.

Here's what emerged:SlowMist warned on Januar…

So, we need to be selective and provide the context for the role that the AI agent is delivering: context engineering.

But the context also needs to be specific to the role of the AI agent, so the context window is not overwhelmed.

For example, the AI agent needs to be told how to interpret customer testimonial videos or brand guidelines.

ZDNET's key takeawaysJack Wallen spends a week using Windows 11.

Surely, Windows 11 was an efficient, zippy, user-friendly, and reliable operating system, right?

That's exactly how I felt while using Windows 11.

I did not want to use a Windows account to log into the operating system (and why would anyone willingly do that?).

After about an hour working with Windows 11, I had to save a file and noticed that it immediately defaulted to OneDrive.

So when I find a Linux distribution that can challenge me, I jump at the chance to see what it can do.

This from-scratch Linux distribution isn't nearly as difficult as Gentoo, but it's not quite as user-friendly as Ubuntu.

For example, to search for Slack, the install command is:nix-shell -p slackAh, but we then run into our first problem.

ZDNET's Linux adviceUsually, when I do a review of a Linux distribution, I install it as a VirtualBox virtual machine, kick the tires, and delete the VM when I'm finished.

If you're comfortable using the Linux command line and like a challenge, you should certainly give NixOS a try.

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".

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.

You'll be surprised to learn how many 'vampire devices' could be in your home, silently draining power.

Also: RAM prices are ridiculous in 2026 - here's how my PC buying advice is changing this yearBut what about memory?

There's a lot of information and differing opinions regarding RAM and how much you need on your computer.

For Windows machines, 16GB of RAM has become the operational minimum on new consumer laptops.

Because Apple's machines are so optimized to handle daily workflows, 8GB of RAM goes a bit further than a stock laptop running Windows.

Similar to 16GB of memory, DDR technology has effectively become the new standard for RAM as users demand faster speeds.

A soundbar is the first step to bringing cinematic sound into your home, but a few simple tweaks can elevate the experience even further.

This burst of activity signals more than a funding spike; it invites a deeper look at what Europe’s innovation identity looks like today.

Europe was already home to over 217 unicorns by late 2025, spread across fintech, AI, enterprise software, and other domains.

Europe’s tech ecosystem has matured, even if it still faces hurdles.

Policy tools and institutional support are increasingly part of the backdrop for European innovation.

If this is Europe’s tech moment, it’s not marked by headline-grabbing valuations alone.

The move significantly reshapes the global B2B software reviews market and strengthens G2’s position in how companies evaluate and buy software.

The leadership change signals a strategic shift toward expanding Slush beyond its annual event and building a year-round global founder platform.

France moves public sector away from Zoom and Microsoft TeamsThe French government has decided to phase out US-based collaboration tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams across public administration.

The decision is part of a broader push for European digital sovereignty and reduced reliance on American Big Tech.

One-line conclusionThis week signals consolidation and sovereignty: G2 reshapes software disc…

The software industry is increasingly questioning the growing influence of G2 following its agreement to acquire Capterra , Software Advice, and GetApp from Gartner.

According to G2’s own disclosures, the combined group will host around 6 million verified software reviews and reach more than 200 million software buyers annually across thousands of categories.

As generative AI tools increasingly surface software recommendations based on existing review databases, control over those datasets becomes even more consequential.

But by combining G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp, the company has moved into clear gatekeeper territory, with control over more than half of global software-revi…

Despite how modern it seems to be, the truth is that the subscription economy has been around for some time, surprisingly dating back to around 1800, with the first magazine subscriptions, or the subscriptions for fresh British milk, around 1860.

Over the years, the of subscription-based companies has turned the subscription model into an ideal business strategy since it provides unique benefits.

Software as a service (SaaS) remains the biggest part of the subscription market with a revenue of more than $250B by 2022.

From education to parasocial relationshipsThe subscription economy has expanded to other services, such as education.

The next phase will likely combine hybrid subscription mo…

Instead, Apple is paying top dollar for tech that might let your devices understand you without you ever saying a word.

​​These days we put our phones on silent so they won’t disturb us; soon the phone will put us on silent so it can understand us.

That future has a decidedly dramatic edge: imagine telling Siri to skip a track or read your messages without ever parting your lips.

Acquiring Q.ai suggests Cupertino isn’t just chasing language models; it wants to redefine the interface itself.

Could it help Siri finally feel less like a confused concierge and more like an unseen assistant tuned to your intent?

G2, the Chicago-based software insights platform, agreed today to acquire three prominent software review and discovery properties from Gartner: Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp.

The deal brings four of the largest B2B review sites under a single roof and signals a shift toward unified, AI-driven software recommendation and buying experiences.

According to the announcement, the combined business will include roughly six million verified customer reviews and tap into an audience of more than 200 million annual software buyers.

As the software market continues to expand, the consolidation of review infrastructure under G2 could reshape how products are evaluated and purchased.

Some see AI as a tool to increase their impact, while others see it as a threat to their role.

From this perspective, it becomes evident: AI isn’t coming for roles, it’s here to remove low-leverage work.

Since AI connects costs to actual usage and outcomes, spending can be traced to specific tools, teams, or processes.

As AI automates execution, the people and teams that remain essential are those who can clearly explain how their work impacts the business in ways AI cannot.

When it comes to creating something inherently new, with no existing market equivalent, AI may fall short at innovation.

The Next Web (TNW) is making a bold move: its flagship conference is relocating to London, placing TNW’s main annual event at the centre of one of the world’s most powerful technology and investment ecosystems.

A new concept: TNW GatheringAlongside the move to London, TNW is introducing a new global event concept: TNW Gathering.

Designed as an intimate, invite-only format, TNW Gathering is created for members of the TNW Council and a carefully selected group of founders, operators, and investors.

TNW Conference London: public tickets, curated accessWhile TNW Gathering remains private by design, TNW Conference London will be open to the public, with tickets available for purchase.

For brands and publishers, this creates a new problem: what does visibility mean when nobody clicks anymore?

How AI systems discover and use contentLarge language models do not simply index the web like classic search engines.

As shown in analyses comparing Perplexity and ChatGPT, these systems search the web differently even when responding to the same questions.

AI-generated answers are rapidly reshaping how information is found, processed, and presented.

Measuring visibility without clicks may seem intangible today, but as AI becomes central to how people seek answers, it will soon become standard practice.

In one stroke, a long-discussed slogan “digital sovereignty” has leapt off the podium and into practice.

Digital sovereignty at a turning point“Digital sovereignty” has become the EU’s new watchword, a declaration of independence from foreign tech hegemons.

Digital sovereignty has moved from virtue-signaling to something harder, actual infrastructure.

For now, France’s move is a beacon: it shows that digital sovereignty can move beyond talk.

Digital sovereignty has many meanings, but here it means doing something concrete, even if it means saying “non” to familiar tools.

Shortly after launch, TNW Council is already seeing clear, early signals from its concierge model, signals that underline a fundamental truth often overlooked in the startup ecosystem: founders operating at € 1 to 10 million and leaders scaling companies between € 10 to 100 million are solving entirely different problems.

From the first concierge-led conversations, a consistent pattern emerged.

Founders in the € 1 to 10M range are primarily seeking:practical growth strategiesclarity on positioning, channels, and prioritizationhands-on experience that helps them avoid early-stage execution mistakesIn contrast, leaders operating at € 10 to 100M are no longer asking for growth playbooks.

Saksa assumes the top role after years as Slush’s Chief Operating & Financial Officer and Head of Partnerships, where she managed core operations, finances, and ecosystem programmes.

In stepping into the CEO role, Saksa inherits an agenda that extends far beyond an annual conference in Helsinki.

In her opening statement as CEO, Saksa said the focus will remain on building meaningful experiences that help founders tackle practical challenges, expand networks, and find capital.

Her intimate knowledge of Slush’s operations positions her to balance growth ambitions with the organisation’s mission-driven ethos.

Warsaw, Poland 26 January 2026 – Rainbow Weather has raised $5.5 million in seed funding to push weather forecasting further into the short-term, high-precision territory it believes the industry still underserves.

According to Rainbow Weather, both methods struggle when conditions change quickly.

“Many legacy forecasting providers rely on optical flow for short-term precipitation forecasting.

That’s a fast but simplistic method that treats clouds as shapes in motion, without any understanding of atmospheric physics,” explained Alexander Matveenko, co-founder of Rainbow Weather.

For Rainbow Weather, that openness is part of the pitch.

Last year, a federal judge ruled that Google had illegally maintained a search monopoly, but allowed the company to keep paying to be the default search engine on Apple devices (with very few caveats).

In practice, this means that Apple will be free to promote or integrate non-Google assistants or chatbots even while Google Search remains the default on Safari.

This means that Google can’t require Apple to make Google the only option, block Apple from featuring rivals, or tie the deal for one Google app (like Search) to another (like Gemini);No exclusivity-adjacent incentives.

As OpenAI accused xAI of systematically destroying internal communications, the court also shut down xAI’s bid to add a high-ranking former OpenAI researcher to discovery.

Just last January, South Korea rejected xAI’s request for documents from the Kakao super app, citing that the scope of the request was disproportionate and overly broad.

Now, the court has rejected yet another xAI request, this one involving Jan Leike, OpenAI’s ex-Head of Alignment, who left the company in 2024 for for Anthropic.

The court, however, denied xAI’s request this week, stating the following:“The Court finds that appointment of Mr. Leike as a custodian of records in this case is not appropriate.

It’s not just you: ChatGPT is down for many users right now.

Outage impacting all ChatGPT features for usersChatGPT users began experiencing issues using the service around 3:00 p.m. Eastern, per Down Detector.

Reported cases about the outage spiked sharply shortly afterwards, with over 10,000 reported cases as of 3:15 p.m and climbing.

OpenAI’s official status page confirms the outage is impacting every facet of ChatGPT, including conversations, search, image generation, Codex, Atlas, and more.

While it’s unlikely these releases caused the current ChatGPT outage, it’s possible that higher than anticipated adoption of Codex is contributing to the issue.

Apple has announced a major upgrade for Xcode: support for agentic coding.

Apple says that developers can now build apps with coding agents such as Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex directly inside Xcode.

In a post on its Newsroom site today, Apple explains that agents like Claude Agent and Codex can “now collaborate throughout the entire development life cycle.” This includes searching documentation, analyzing file structures, and updating project settings.

This means that developers have the flexibility to integrate any compatible agent or tool with Xcode, beyond Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex.
