Она заключила сделку с Google, изменила подход к разработке, однако выйти на прибыль так и не смогла, хотя пользователи сидели в чатах часами. Теперь часть её активов может выкупить Disney, а вот судьба самой платформы под вопросом.

Доступны будут «белые списки», голосовая связь, домашний интернет и Wi-Fi.

8 октября, 04:55 МСК (Симптом паралича): Начинаются массовые ошибки при создании виртуальных машин, кластеров Kubernetes и баз данных в остальных, живых зонах.

Облако отключает автоматизм и переводит выделение квот на вычисления и диски в полностью ручной режим.

Ручные квоты 10 октября и отправка клиентов к конкурентам 9 октября доказали: пересобирать третий узел кворума было физически негде.

В условиях 2026 года все площадки в одном радиусе досягаемости и на одном энергетическом и сетевом узле образуют единый коррелированный домен отказа (Single Domain of Correlated Failure).

Это гарантирует, что даже при полном выгорании основного региона вы поднимете базу данных в резервном контуре с пот…

Я начинал свой путь в серьёзные камеры с Nikon и люблю его, поэтому ни секунды не колебался и написал продавцу.

(Лично я в 99% случаев пользуюсь только режимом А и в 1% М).

D200 — в каком‑то роде уникальная камера в линейке продвинутых цифрозеркалок Nikon, стоящая на стыке эпох.

Даже наполовину разряженный аккумулятор в пиковый момент проседает по напряжению, и камера выдаёт ошибку с залипшим в верхнем положении зеркалом.

У меня пока что держатся, но на другой камере Nikon уже настолько разбухли, что цепляют за края паза при повороте…Хрупкий слот для CF‑карточек.

Его представляли и как живые часы, и как ошибку в логической системе, и даже как машину, которую нужно будет обучать как младенца или собаку.

Это не Скайнет и не Альтрон.

Хорошо это не только для нас с вами, но и для ИИ.

Порою они будут ошибаться, а порою они могут делать новые и весьма интересные утверждения, и в целом то, что они выдают, будет заслуживать внимания в той же своего рода мере, что и то, что выдает человеческий ум».

Он относится к ней как к ученику и учит языку и правилам через прямую практику.

Это не оговорка, это она так устроена.

А что в это время слышит звонящий?

Не антиАОН и не Россвязьнадзор прикрыли лавочку, а цифровые станции и сотовые телефоны.

И это в городе, где за восемь лет до того насчитали 370 тысяч нелегальных «Русей».

В 2008 году Мининформсвязи выпустило свежие правила применения оборудования АОН, и в них все то же самое: 500 Гц, «2 из 6», 40 мс, безынтервальный пакет.

Это очень актуально и для компьютерной инфраструктуры, как показал опыт атак БПЛА на дата‑центры Amazon и другие всем известные примеры.

Так что к середине восьмидесятых патенты и на SECAM, и на PAL лежали в одном французском сейфе.

Тихоокеанская сторонаПока Европа делила себя на PAL и SECAM, по другую сторону планеты всё решилось гораздо быстрее и без конференций.

И в цифровом сигнале цвет передаётся так, как в студийном Betacam: яркость и две цветоразности, отдельно, без поднесущей.

Германия шла поэтапно с Берлина в 2003-м и в основном закончила в 2008-м, Америка в — 2009-м, Франция — в ноябре 2011-го, и с ней умер последний передатчик системы L с позитивной модуляцией.

И единственная причина принятия SECAM в СССР была не в преимуществах стандарта, а в позиции де Голля тех лет.

Оно представляло собой многофункциональную плату видеовывода, использовалось в аппаратном комплексе Time7 и в других комплексах (InterPhone телефонное голосование, телевизионные субтитры TM Subtitle, телевизионного суфлёра TM Sufler)Что из себя представлял ПКВ81?

Плата представляла собой ISA видеоускоритель, поддерживающий графические режимы 640x480 и 800x600 на 256 цветов, и с возможностью вывести текстовый режим VGA.

Позже в 1999 году ПО “Куранты” перешло в состав комплекса “АТЛАС”, который до сих пор ещё развивается, но уже в составе другой компании, о чём мы поговорим позже.

И вот в процессе написания этого материала я наткнулся на штуку, о которой как будто вообще никто не помнит, и очень зря.

Уже тогда и по железу, и по словам Tiger Telematics Inc. было понятно: цель стоит порвать королей рынка в лице Nintendo и отцов портативного мультимедиа Sony в пыль.

Вышел он как раз в начале нулевых и вскоре познакомился с очень талантливым и не менее мутным Карлом Фриром.

Gizmondo даже рекламировалась не в игровых, а в модных глянцевых журналах, а переговоры с людьми из индустрии велись абы как.

Экран у Gizmondo был хуже, как и мультимедийные возможности.

Баг таился в закрытой прошивке самой Wi-Fi карты ноутбука; подробности читайте в апдейте в самом низу.

На проводных клиентах всё было чисто, а код целостности CCMP MIC на «битых» пакетах оставался корректным — значит, дело было не в кабеле и не в помехах радиоэфира.

Правильный базовый адрес я в итоге нашёл в переменной конфигурации сборки в исходниках EAP783.

После отключения разгрузки начинает расти счётчик NOT_SUPPORT_BRIDGE в файле /sys/sfe/exceptions , так как трафик в режиме моста теперь идёт не по ускоренному сетевому тракту, а по обычному.

На самом ноутбуке пакеты продолжали поступать в драйвер ath12k , и в очереди скопилось аж несколько тысяч кадров.

А в OSM энтузиасты вручную размечают участки леса.

Ориентироваться только на теги OSM ( leaf_type=needleleaved — тег, означающий иглолистную хвою вообще, а не конкретно сосну) не позволяла фрагментарность покрытия.

Но WorldCover — это бинарная маска: она подсвечивает дерево, но не отличает сосну от берёзы или ольхи.

Если перемешать точки случайным образом, соседние пиксели одного и того же дерева окажутся и в обучении, и в тесте, выдав дутые 99% точности.

Сегодня супер-юбилей для всей ИТ-отрасли: 25 октября 2026 г. исполняется 25 лет старту продаж Windows XP.

Microsoft вместе с Intel и другими производителями ПК потратила на продвижение Windows XP не менее миллиарда долларов.

Коммерческое название ОС объявили 5 февраля 2001 года, и XP расшифровывалось как eXPerience, то есть «опыт».

Коммерческое имя проект Whistler получил 5 февраля 2001 года, и XP расшифровывалось как eXPerience, то есть «опыт».

Как XP добиралась до РоссииЛокализованные версии Windows тогда выходили с задержкой до 1 квартала от англоязычной, и XP не стала исключением.

Мы тоже смотрели, пока однажды не задались вопросом: а что они собираются делать, если пароль подойдёт?

Не на настоящий сервер, конечно, а на поддельный.

Бот, у которого подходит и root:123, и root:qwerty, и root:что-угодно, быстро понимает, где он.

Нагрузка 94, в top крутится обучение, в домашнем каталоге история команд, в /data/models лежат чекпоинты, а в /opt/ml/.env ключи от облаков.

Что из этого взять для своего сервераВсё, что мы увидели, ломается об одну настройку: вход по паролю выключен.

Как раз именно такой списанный экземпляр я и решил купить всего за 870 рублей.

Существовало несколько разных версий 3040'ого: в базовой из коммуникаций есть только RJ-45 и накопитель объёмом в 8ГБ, а в продвинутой добавили ещё и Wi-Fi/Bluetoth модуль и увеличили объём накопителя аж до 16ГБ.

С фронтальной стороны платы нас встречает относительно небольшая система охлаждения, состоящая из радиатора, который отводит тепло и с процессора, и с контроллера питания, и с памяти.

Поэтому снимаем старые шары паяльником, центрируем чип в трафарете и не перебарщивая наносим паяльную пасту, не забывая убрать излишки лопаткой.

Это результат примерно в два раза хуже чем у Core 2 Quad Extreme Q9300 и в пол…

Для сравнения, ещё более простое эхо для караоке из китайского радиоконструктора CIRMECH WM-002 обходится меньшим количеством компонентов.

Тем не менее, для вдохновляющих музыкальных экспериментов с электрогитарой китайский модуль более чем подходит.

Они очень понравились музыкантам, и в 2009 году была основана компания Neunaber Audio.

Для этого необходимы не только талант, целеустремлённость и упорство, но и люди, на которых можно положиться, и в распоряжении которых имеются соответствующие ресурсы.

Сдвоенные малошумящие операционные усилители TL072C выполняют функции входного и выходного буферов, точно так же, как в стандартной обвязке модуля Accutronics Digi-Log BTDR.

Студия не скрывает, что на этапе ранних прототипов действительно использовала нейронку, но только для заглушек, которые позже заменили.

После этих слов Larian Studios в сети начали обвинять в продвижении ИИ и неэтичности его использования.

Если что, этот ролик (и многие подобные) — не ИИ в чистом виде, но ИИ в плане кода.

То есть, нейронка собрала полноценный играбельный билд, а не просто сгалюцинировала видео.

Плохие игры выходили и до эры ИИ, но вместе с ИИ они не станут лучше — всё равно нужно человеческое чувство прекрасного.

Злоумышленники разом вывели круглую сумму, хранившуюся у частных лиц на криптокошельках парижской компании Ledger.

Точный масштаб кражи пока неизвестен, однако, по оценкам экспертов, отслеживающих транзакции в блокчейне, объём угнанных средств варьируется от $70 до 90 млн.

Все попавшие под атаку устройства были приобретены через малайзийского реселлера CryptoBilis, которым с недавних пор владеет частное лицо из Китая.

Эксперты по кибербезопасности предполагают, что в них был предустановлен жучок с модемом, перехватывающий сид-фразу, необходимую для авторизации в кошельке.

Глобальный дефицит комплектующих может затянуться ещё минимум на три года, — пишут китайские СМИ со ссылкой на источники в отрасли.

Текущий спрос на модули NAND-памяти по-прежнему превышает мировые производственные мощности, а нуждающиеся в петебайтах хранилища корпоративные клиенты своими закупками подняли цены и на HDD.

По данным инсайдера, Toshiba уже принялась за производство жёстких дисков, но на строительство новых мощностей уйдёт год или два.

Память настолько в дефиците, что дорожать начинают услуги по аренде облачного хранилища: первой отличилась Microsoft, снизив максимальный объём семейной подписки OneDrive с 6 до 2 ТБ, оставив при этом стоимость тарифа прежней.

Металлюги из Атланты перевыпустили свой последний альбом Marrow Deep на пластинках с добавлением зубов настоящего мастодонта — далёкого родственника наших мамонтов.

Окаменелости попали к музыкантам в руки ещё два десятка лет назад в качестве подарка от фанатов.

Связавшись с геологами из университета Джорджии, группа выяснила, что для музейной выставки ископаемые не годятся, и попросила учёных помочь измельчить их в порошок, чтобы затем использовать как компонент при штамповке расплавленного винила.

Зубов хватило всего на 170 пластинок, которые музыканты обещают продать победителям онлайн-лотереи — она запустится вместе с началом нового тура.

Некоммерческая организация Wi-Fi Alliance спалила идентификаторы неанонсированных устройств Sony — CFI-Y2000 и CFI-Y2105 — в разделе «Игровые консоли и периферия».

Технических подробностей немного, но известно, что оба устройства поставляются с Android 15 и сертифицированы для работы в сетях Wi-Fi на частотах 2,4 ГГц и 5 ГГц.

Напомним: первое поколение PS Portal разошлось тиражом примерно в 2 млн устройств только лишь в США и было признано успешным.

Устройство умеет стримить игры как с вашей PlayStation 5, так и с облачного сервиса PlayStation Plus, но за доступ к нему придётся дополнительно отвесить $160 в год (примерно 14 000 рублей по текущему курсу).

Китайский бренд Omoda впервые в 2026 году вошёл в десятку самых популярных марок на авторынке РФ.

По данным агентства «Автостат», за неделю с 19 по 25 октября компания реализовала 715 новых автомобилей.

Этого хватило, чтобы вытеснить японскую Mazda и занять десятое место в рейтинге.

Lada по-прежнему лидирует на российском авторынкеПервое место по итогам прошедшей недели традиционно заняла Lada — российская компания-производитель реализовала 6030 машин.

Продажи за неделю выросли, но остались ниже прошлогоднихВ общей сложности с 19 по 25 октября в России было продано 28 386 новых легковых автомобилей.

В других классификациях встречаются горизонтальная диверсификация — выпуск новых продуктов для прежних клиентов — и концентрическая, основанная на близких технологиях или способах продвижения.

В конце 1980-х компания попыталась применить похожую модель к парфюмерии: недорогие ароматы в пластиковых флаконах появились в газетных киосках, парикмахерских и на заправках.

Марк Хармстоун (Mark Harmstone), автор проекта WinBtrfs, опубликовал выпуск операционной системы Moxnox 1.0, разрабатываемой с 2022 года в качестве хобби. Moxnox преподносится как созданная с оглядкой на Windows NT операционная система, обеспечивающая совместимость с POSIX-стандартами, использующая файловую систему Btrfs и достигшая уровня самосборки (self-hosting). Проект насчитывает около 130 тысяч строк кода на языке С++ и распространяется под лицензиями GPL (ядро и базовые программы), LGPL (библиотеки) и MIT (модули). Поддерживается сборка для архитектур x86-64-v3 и ARMv8.1 (может работать на плате Raspberry Pi 5).

Исследователи из компании Forever Security, разбирая причины появления вредоносного ПО в системе одного из клиентов, выявили новый способ атаки на AI-агентов, основанный на том, что многие AI-агенты по умолчанию обрабатывают инструкции из файла AGENTS.md, размещённого в корне проекта, к работе над которым они привлечены. Атака проводится через размещение в каталоге ~/Downloads файла AGENTS.md или CLAUDE.md с инструкцией по установке вредоносного ПО (в рассмотренном случае устанавливался вредоносный npm-пакет "function-color").

Опубликованы корректирующие выпуски языка программирования Ruby 3.3.13, 3.4.12 и 4.0.9, в которых устранена критическая уязвимость (CVE-2026-110264), приводящая к целочисленному переполнению при компиляции специально оформленных регулярных выражений. Уязвимость может использоваться для атаки на проекты, написанные на языке Ruby и использующие внешние данные в регулярных выражениях. Среди прочего, подтверждена возможность эксплуатации уязвимости для удалённого выполнения кода в платформе совместной разработки GitLab. Проблема дополнительно блокирована в обновлениях GitLab 19.5.1, 19.4.3, 19.3.6, 19.2.9, 19.1.9, 19.0.10 и 18.11.13. Уязвимости присвоен уровень опасности 10 из 10.

Язык Mojo развивается под руководством Криса Латнера (Chris Lattner), основателя и главного архитектора проекта LLVM и создателя языка программирования Swift.

Mojo может использоваться как в режиме интерпретации с использованием JIT, так и для компиляции в исполняемые файлы (AOT, ahead-of-time).

Среди изменений в Mojo 1.2: Добавлена поддержка сопоставления с образцом, используя конструкции match / case.

Ключевые слова async и await переименованы в "__async" и "__await для индикации их экспериментального статуса (старые варианты сохранены, но будут выдавать предупреждение).

Компания Valve представила выпуск операционной системы SteamOS 3.9.5, который отмечен как первый стабильный выпуск в ветке 3.9. Операционная система SteamOS поставляется в устройствах Steam Deck и с недавних пор System Update Channel". В прошлом энтузиастами развивались неофициальные сборки HoloISO и SteamFork, но они находятся в заброшенном состоянии.

В кодовую базу системного менеджера systemd принято изменение, добавляющее возможность создания компонентов на языке Rust. Rust намерены использовать только для разработки новых компонентов, а существующий код на языке Си переписывать на Rust не планируют. Пакетный менеджер cargo в процессе сборки не применяется, остаётся задействована только сборочная система Meson. Rust-код используется в режиме "no_std" (без стандартной библиотеки), разрешено использовать только библиотеки core, alloc и libc.

В библиотеке с эталонной реализацией декодировщика формата сжатия данных Brotli выявлена уязвимость (CVE-2026-111497, кодовые имена Broccoli2Shell и HTTP2Shell), приводящая к переполнению буфера при обработке специально оформленных сжатых данных. По данным Google уязвимость может использоваться для удалённого выполнения кода при атаке на проекты, использующие официальную реализацию декодировщика Brotli. Среди затрагиваемых уязвимостью проектов: Node.js, Bun, Envoy, Istio, web-браузеры, прокси-серверы, HTTP-клиенты, HTTP-серверы, архиваторы, прокси-серверы, UEFI-прошивки, просмотрщики JPEG XL, декодирующие контент библиотеки для Python, Ruby, Java, PHP и .NET и связанные с ними зависимости.

Опубликован выпуск OBS Studio 33.0, пакета для потокового вещания, композитинга и записи видео. Код написан на языках C/C++ и распространяется под лицензией GPLv2. Сборки сформированы для Linux (flatpak), Windows и macOS.

Опубликован релиз библиотеки OpenSSL 4.1.0, предлагающей с реализацию протоколов TLS и различных алгоритмов шифрования. OpenSSL 4.1 отнесён к выпускам с обычным сроком поддержки, обновления для которых выпускаются в течение 13 месяцев. Поддержка LTS-ветки OpenSSL 3.5 продлится до апреля 2030 года. Код проекта распространяется под лицензией Apache 2.0.

Опубликованы детали инцидента, в ходе которого злоумышленникам удалось получить контроль над 333 выходными узлами сети Tor (всего в Tor около 3000 выходных узлов) и организовать на них перехват нешифрованного трафика и перенаправление SSH-соединений. Атака началась 2 октября (в пятницу вечером), но была выявлена и начала блокироваться 4 октября. 5 октября все скомпрометированные серверы были отключены операторами или самими атакующими. Разбирательство показало, что атакующие получили доступ к серверам за два месяца до начала атаки на пользователей Tor и установили в скомпрометированных системах вредоносное ПО Ebury 1.8.3.

Исследователи из компании VulnCheck заявили о получении первого эксплоита для уязвимости PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618б), обходящего механизм рандомизации адресов (ASLR) на системах x86-64 с типовой конфигурацией PHP. Эксплоит позволяет атаковать системы с PHP 8.4.10-8.4.26 в конфигурации по умолчанию. Ранее трудность определения раскладки памяти в модуле mod_php мешала реализации эксплоита, позволяющего добиться выполнения кода на реальных системах. Для обхода ASLR в эксплоите задействована утечка информации об адресах в коде отображения информации об ошибках.

Компания Аnthropic представила результаты экспериментов по использованию AI-моделей для формальной верификации надёжности и безопасности уже существующих проектов.

First announced in the government's 2025 Budget, the International Student Levy has faced opposition from university leaders concerned about rising operating costs and declining overseas enrolment.

How the international student levy will workUnder the proposal, universities in England will pay £925 annually for each international student, with the first 220 overseas enrolments exempt from the charge.

Because it’s a sense, just like hearing and seeing, you can have mental imagery specific to it.

That’s what motor imagery is—just as visual imagery uses the same brain areas as visual perception, motor imagery tends to use the same brain areas responsible for moving your body.

Although you might have a visual image accompanying this motor imagery, they’re not the same, and they don’t necessarily come packaged together.

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees in an effort to further reduce its headcount.

Chief People Officer Amy Coleman sent a memo to employees Monday detailing the terms of the voluntary exit offer, which will be available to roughly one quarter of Microsoft’s workforce.

The exit offer comes a few months after Microsoft offered voluntary early retirement to employees of a certain tenure at level 67 and below.

About 30% of eligible employees took that offer, though Microsoft expects this broader round of buyouts to have a smaller adoption rate.

“The Voluntary Exit Offer is new for us.

Somebody please stop the spam texts by Nathan Pilkenton October 2026Summary: I complain about spam texts and consider why I’m so hesitant to just reply STOP to unsubscribe.

So it seems like the solution is to reply STOP to all of these and eventually you won’t get as many, right?

If I reply STOP, I’m basically saying, “Okay, you’re allowed to send me whatever you want, and then I have to send back STOP for you to knock it off.” And I want to fundamentally reject that framing.

After two months of discomfort, a man in South Korea went to an eye clinic where doctors pulled 11 living, wriggling worms from his eyes.

They apparently made the most of their time on the man’s peepers; at the time of extraction, many of the female worms were pregnant.

The man narrowly avoided having them spew their loads of living larvae directly into his eyes.

The blood vessels in the membrane over the eye, the conjunctiva, were enlarged, making his eyes look red.

These parasites primarily infest the eyes of cats and dogs but can sometimes make their way into human eyes inadvertently.

Starting at $699, the 8th-gen iPad mini price has gone up, but there are some big changes.

Apple says the refreshed 8th-gen iPad mini marks the most significant update ever for its petite tablet, featuring an OLED screen and the A20 Pro chip that we first saw in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo.

The 7th-Gen iPad mini didn’t have any official IP rating.

The previous model had a 3-nanometer A17 Pro chip, which was already a year old when it appeared in the iPad mini.

In the iPhone 18 Pro, we found the A20 Pro significantly improved graphics performance thanks in part to a 50 percent increase in memory bandwidth.

Hundreds of employees at the US robotics firm Boston Dynamics signed a petition calling for executives to halt a sale of the company’s robot dogs to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement—but executives stood by the deal, while saying the robots would not be weaponized.

But Boston Dynamics workers sent the petition letter with more than 300 signatures—half of them anonymous—to the company’s executives in early September and shared copies with The Boston Globe and WBUR public radio station.

Elon Musk’s “flying” Roadster jumped and flipped through the air this month in a stunt that went viral around the world.

But his bigger bet is on changing the way Tesla makes money—and the wider car industry is scrambling to catch up.

Car groups, already grappling with growing Chinese competition, are seeking to move beyond a business model centered on vehicle sales towards one that also generates recurring revenues from software and AI-powered services.

But Musk faces a vastly different competitive environment from 2008, when Tesla launched its first battery-powered Roadster.

The M-Vave FM-1 is exactly the kind of device I have a weakness for.

Initially billed as a pocket cousin of the famous Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, the FM-1 is a bargain at only $59.72 after fees.

Every morning during the Martian spring and summer, a thin and extremely long cloud emerges, only to disappear again.

The wispy formation appears near the volcano Arsia Mons and gradually elongates until it reaches over 1,000 miles—about the distance from New York to Kansas City as the crow flies—before dissipating.

Since it was first recorded by a probe in 2018, scientists have been unable to find a plausible explanation for the existence of this cloud, often referred to as the Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud (AMEC).

Barnes Ice Cap sits on the central plateau of Baffin Island, in the Canadian Arctic.

It is the last surviving fragment of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, the largest of the Pleistocene ice sheets, which at its peak buried most of Canada under two miles of ice and locked away around 80 meters of sea level.

That remnant has now yielded direct physical evidence that ice sheets might have reversed their retreat and started to grow again thousands of years ago.

The streaming platform Americans spend the most time watching on TV doesn't require a subscription.

Discovery's streaming services, including HBO Max.

These numbers come from Nielsen's The Gauge, which tracks viewing time on TV, not subscriber numbers, app downloads or viewing on a phone.

Live channels watched via YouTube TV count toward broadcast or cable viewing, so the standalone pay TV service doesn't inflate YouTube's streaming share.

It's interesting that the platform most focused on individual creators beat core streaming services so handily, especially when this is TV-only and thus doesn't include people looking up tutorials on their phones.

In our review of the iPhone Duo, one of the big question marks for Apple's foldable was around app support.

In the case of camera app Halide, the answer is "not long at all."

Lux Optics, Halide's developer, has released a new update to its software designed to embrace the iPhone Duo.

Halide users on the Duo can take advantage of new additions designed for each of the foldable's three different poses.

This update is available today for Halide Mark III users, and Lux Optics suggested that further Duo-focused features are in the works.

Geotab identifies a handful of factors that could be hurting your EV's battery.

One of the main culprits could be DC fast charging, or DCFC.

Fast charging can be convenient for EV owners.

Aside from fast charging, there are other factors that could affect your EV's battery life, like temperature.

Though the study says battery degradation is "inevitable," it also underlines that watching out for the circumstances making it worse can help EV owners get more out of their batteries.

The iPhone Duo is finally available, and you might be interested in one after reading our iPhone Duo review.

There can be some justification for its mighty $2,000 price tag if you see it as combining an iPhone with an iPad mini.

With such a high barrier to entry, it can be tempting to skip iPhone Duo add-ons of the sort you'd normally pick up alongside a new phone.

Heck, you might even think to skip a case if you're careful about how you hold and stash your new foldable.

While it adds hundreds of dollars to your phone's lifetime price, the penalty if something goes wrong could be even more severe.

Instagram is once again experimenting with longform video in the hopes its users will watch podcasts and other videos on their TVs.

The horizontal videos will be viewable in the Instagram app, but the company is hoping the new format will push people to its dedicated TV apps as well.

But he said he hoped the longer videos would end up being "symbiotic" with the shorter content.

The company introduced its first TV app last year with a version of Reels for Fire TV and it's now adding an Apple TV app to its lineup, which also includes Samsung and Google TV devices.

The company made a similar pitch in 2018, when it launched IGTV, a separate app for longer videos.

As part of that effort, the government is also planning to lean on AI to contribute to productivity.

According to the Dutch government, the goal is to cut back 900 million euros, or around $1 billion, in costs by 2027, with that estimate rising to 3.5 billion euros, or approximately $3.9 billion, by 2035.

It's unclear how the government plans to deploy AI to reduce costs, but the post read that the Dutch cabinet will "come up with goals and savings plans for deploying AI to work more productively," in the first quarter of 2027.

Earlier reports from Dutch news outlets reported that the government had been planning to incorporate AI in its cost savings efforts since earlier this year.

Microsoft did something similar earlier this year and only 30 percent of eligible workers signed on the dotted line.

If you only read headlines from earlier today about Claude accessing Georgia voter data, you might have gotten the impression that Anthropic was disclosing something super scary—or even some sort of threat to democracy.

This instance of Claude autonomously “requested a token” in order to “query a dashboard” meant to access said paywalled information.

For its trouble, this Claude agent got some public aggregate voting data that normally costs money.

But Claude wasn’t exactly hacking voting machines with this security incident.

In fact, this was arguably the most relatable AI security incident so far.

So when this comes up—as happens multiple times a day—we all know where to turn.

Because OpenAI claims to have just disproved the entire ETH.

From a security perspective, 2026 has undoubtedly been the worst year on record for hardware wallet makers.

This past summer, Europe endured soaring temperatures and multiple heatwaves.

Scientists estimate that the heat killed more than 50,000 people across 854 European cities this summer, a substantially higher number than previous records in 2022 and 2003.

The authors behind the study blame “human-caused warming driven primarily by the burning of fossil fuels” for around two-thirds of the heat-related deaths over the summer.

Younger people were also affected, with about 833 heat-related deaths among those ages 20 to 44.

Still, the estimated death toll marks a new record for heat-related deaths in Europe.

President Donald Trump’s administration hasn’t released a secretive court opinion on warrantless surveillance that was supposed to be made public last month, according to two Democratic senators.

The opinion “details serious abuses of Americans’ rights under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA),” according to the senators.

By law, a declassified version should have been released in 180 days on Sept. 13, something the Trump Administration hasn’t yet done.

According to the letter: “This is because the March 17, 2026 FISC opinion that detailed abuses of the program also permitted the administration to continue this surveillance for another year.

“Nevertheless, it i…

A less studied ingredient in cannabis-related products might not be quite as harmless as advertised, recent research suggests.

Scientists at the University of Connecticut studied the effects of cannabinol, also known as CBN, on mice in the lab.

They found evidence that mice could develop a physical dependence on CBN and that CBN can mimic some of the same psychoactive effects as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Though more study will be needed, the findings indicate that products high in CBN aren’t inherently risk-free, the researchers say.

The researchers argue that we need to study CBN a lot more to truly understand its potential risks and benefits.

For years, the Lycurgus Cup has captivated art historians, glassmakers, and scientists.

In a recent announcement, the University of Sheffield in the U.K. reported that its experts had successfully emulated the optical effect observed in the Lycurgus Cup.

Research conducted in the mid-20th century indicated that tiny nanoparticles of gold and silver—smaller than wavelengths of light—contributed to the unique color change.

But the Lycurgus Cup is even rarer in that the design of its cage is figurative rather than geometric, Hollands explained.

The Lycurgus Cup, on the other hand, depicts a graphic scene of King Lycurgus of Thrace being tormented by the Greek god Dionysus and his retainers.

Thankfully, there’s a new AMD upscaling update that makes these handhelds so much better, and it may be enough to help you bide your time until the Xbox makes its own.

AMD’s new update to these handhelds bring the more recent FSR 4.1 upscaling model to these recent gaming devices.

It’s not just about games running better; it’s a means to make games look better—like you’re not getting a worse experience just for hopping away from your PC.

From there, you’ll want to add the AMD FSR Upscaling icon into your toolbar.

Microsoft is offering about a quarter of its workforce money to walk away.

The company has offered 60,000 of its roughly 223,000 workers a buyout or “voluntary exit offer” to step away from their jobs, according to Bloomberg.

While Bloomberg noted that about 60,000 people will get the buyout offer, Microsoft expects a fraction of people to actually take it.

Microsoft confirmed to Gizmodo that approximately 60,000 people would be eligible for the buyout option.

The promise of a shrinking workforce will surely bring the shareholders joy regardless, but this playbook is starting to get stale.

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) recently used SpaceX’s Starfall reentry capsule to study how survival equipment fares during the journey to space and back.

Cargo drop-offOn October 20, SpaceX launched its Starfall capsule on board a Falcon 9 rocket as part of the company’s Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission.

The team was particularly interested in measuring the durability of electronics and survival equipment, including batteries, a satellite communications-enabled tracker, a reverse-osmosis water desalination system, emergency medical supplies, and survival gear, according to AFRL.

The engineers also checked whether a UNI-PAC III life raft can fit into the Starfall capsule for future t…

The iPhone Duo is, officially, a few days old.

The story is roughly this: a bright-eyed, unsuspecting iPhone Duo buyer, after opening or closing their groundbreaking and wildly expensive device, hears an audible crack.

Some people are even loading wallpapers with fake cracked lines onto their iPhone Duo to spread disinformation.

The first, in case you were curious, is that the iPhone Duo is apparently the most repairable foldable ever to grace their desk.

Analysis of possible screen damage caused by iPhone Duo hinge failure The iPhone Duo hinge assembly consists of 5 groups: 2 on the upper section and 3 on the lower section.

Earlier this year, federal agents somewhere in the western U.S. observed a mysterious triangular aircraft hovering over an unnamed site that’s sensitive to national security, according to new documents released by the Pentagon.

The vertical thickness of the craft was estimated to be, at most, just one or two feet, according to the Department of Defense.

“The unidentified craft maintained a completely fixed horizontal alignment [which] did not tilt, sway, or wobble during the controlled vertical ascent of approximately ten seconds,” the DOD report explains.

“It climbed to an altitude of an estimated 200 to 300 feet above the local ridge line.

You don’t hear the defenders of so-called western civilization talk much about The Odyssey these days.

Maybe that’s because their rabid denunciations of Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of Homer’s epic were buried in an avalanche of money.

The world’s richest man spared no vitriol for what he considered a desecration of the ancient Greek narrative; four days after its release, he vowed to produce a superior version.

Rather than a “full-length movie,” it’s a seven-minute “episode” of an apparently ongoing series, depicting how Odysseus, King of Ithaca, resists a call to war against Troy but is ultimately compelled by an oath of loyalty to sail there with his army.

Anthropic filed its hotly anticipated IPO prospectus on Monday, spelling out parts of the company’s business, strategy, and risk profile ahead of its public debut.

Though the filing, known as an S-1, is several hundred pages long, it has some notable omissions—namely, certain financial figures.

In Anthropic’s case, the missing details largely revolve around financials for its most recent quarter, which concluded at the end of September, and lease agreements tied to its compute investments.

While experts expect many details to be disclosed before Anthropic goes public, their current absence may hint at the uncertainties of investing in artificial intelligence, as companies work to secure suf…

Case in point: Dyson Week, where you can find several Dyson technology devices (vacuums!

If you're in the market for a new Dyson vacuum, one of the best deals is on Dyson's newest, most powerful cordless vacuum: the Dyson V16 Piston Animal.

I never really understood the hype behind Apple AirTag trackers until I started testing them for work.

Right now, a second-generation AirTag can be yours for just $23.

AirTags are Bluetooth trackers that can be used to add anything to Apple's Find My app.

Pop one on your keys, your diaper bag, your purse, or your dog's collar, and you'll be able to track the AirTag's location from your Find My app.

The AirTag also has an impressively loud speaker inside, so you can ping your item's location with an audible alert.

Earlier this year, the Google Fitbit Air won me over and made me wonder why I ever wanted a display on my fitness tracker in the first place.

Google Fitbit hasn’t introduced a new tracker with a screen since 2023, and the older models are starting to fall behind on health features and hardware.

At $180, the new Google Fitbit Edge costs $20 more than Fitbit's Charge 6 ($160) and $80 more than the screenless Air ($100), but far less than Google's Pixel Watch 5 ($400).

Personally, though, the Edge hasn’t given me enough reasons to give up my Fitbit Air.

It feels like a better option for people with slimmer wrists and those who might find the Pixel Watch or Apple Watch too bulky to sleep with.

Anthropic has officially filed the prospectus for its initial public offering, which means the AI lab has put all kinds of formerly private information on display.

“Sufficiently advanced AI systems could, if not developed, deployed, and operated with appropriate safeguards, oversight and security measures, pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” the prospectus reads, citing concerns both from critics and regulators and from inside Anthropic itself.

(It’s the first of three times the phrase “existential risks” pops up.)

Anthropic is careful to tie that outcome, though, to a specific process: recursive self-improvement.

It describes a state in which humans hand over the research …

According to the filing, the artificial intelligence company plans to go public on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT.

The IPO could come later in November, The Wall Street Journal reported.

“The advent of machine intelligence is one of the seminal moments in human history,” Anthropic wrote in the filing.

Its revenue grew to more than $16 billion, up from about $4.5 billion in 2025.

Despite its growing revenue, Anthropic has yet to turn a profit.

Two Democratic senators who have long overseen US intelligence say the Trump administration is illegally withholding a secret court’s findings from Congress until lawmakers renew a program that lets federal agents read Americans’ communications without a warrant.

Seven months ago, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court objected to search filters that let intelligence analysts pull Americans’ messages from intercepted data without the approvals, written justifications, or records the law requires.

The court approved another year of surveillance anyway.

The ruling has never been made public, and Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Adam Schiff of California say the administration’s own deadl…

THE WIRED APP IS HERE

The first batch of Apple’s first folding phone may already have some screen issues.

The iPhone Duo is a strong first foldable from the company, but multiple Reddit reports say the phone's inner screen cracks when customers open the device.

(WIRED's review unit hasn't had any issues after more than two weeks of daily use.)

This is familiar territory for foldable phones.

Some devices handle it better than others, and as the product category has grown, those issues have largely diminished.

Holding a broken copper wire in one hand and a small mechanical tool in the other, she looks at the camera and smiles.

“Wire!”This play on words is common in a specific corner of TikTok where users document the process of stripping copper wire in order to sell it for extra cash.

Selling scrap copper is nothing new.

The metal is relatively scarce, a strong electrical conductor, and fully recyclable—qualities that have made it a particularly valuable scrap metal for centuries.

While there’s no reliable data on how often people sell scrap copper, rates of copper theft—often involving metal taken from vehicles, plumbing, building roofs—may offer some clues.

The LG B6 is the cheapest LG OLED model around (priced lower than the LG C6 and LG G6), but it also has some stiff competition.

RGB televisions like the LG Micro RGB Evo and those from Samsung and Hisense have also burst onto the market, making a convincing argument for choosing an RGB screen over an OLED one.

The LG B6 is still a good budget OLED TV, it’s just beset on all sides by better, brighter options, including from LG’s own LG C6.

Sleek Angles, Less Sleek RemotePhotograph: John BrandonThe first thing that struck me while setting up the LG B6 is that it’s incredibly thin—just 1.8 inches at the base and about a quarter-inch at the top and around most of the bezel.

When Sony announced the WH-1000XM4C headphones, I was perplexed. A product revamp usually includes at least one or two significant improvements.

The rumors were true, all of them (and then some): OpenAI today is releasing GPT-6 Astra, a new frontier model that the company says likely marks the onset of artificial generalized intelligence (AGI), its long sought goal of "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work." In a closed a press briefing earlier today, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman offered an unusually direct formulation of that message, ending the session with: “Welcome to the AGI era.”That is an unusually consequential framing even by the standards of frontier AI launches. But for enterprises, the more immediate significance of Astra may be considerably more concrete: Op…

A Chinese state-linked hacking group compromised executive laptops at an agricultural industry conference on Hainan Island this spring — not through phishing or a network breach, but by breaking into hotel rooms and booting the machines from a USB stick while the executives were at dinner. CrowdStrike, which tracks the group as OVERCAST PANDA, disclosed the campaign in its 2026 Threat Hunting Report and detailed the operation's timeline in an interview with VentureBeat at Fal.Con 2026: an intruder entered one room at around 8 p.m. local time and a second room by 9:57 p.m., writing a backdoor called FlowCloud directly to each laptop's storage before rebooting the machines and leaving.

Meta’s newest AI model Muse Spark 1.3, unveiled yesterday, is faster and more performant on third-party benchmarks than its predecessor — with a caveat. "Muse Spark 1.3 is rolling out today with frontier performance almost too cheap to meter," Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on X, calling it Meta’s “biggest jump” yet in coding and agentic work.There is substance behind both parts of that claim. Muse Spark 1.3 makes significant gains over last month’s 1.2 release, particularly on long-running agent tasks. The version developers can access now is also one of the strongest price-performance offerings near the top of independent model rankings.Meta’s strongest Muse Spark 1.3 bench…

Microsoft AI on Thursday released MAI-Transcribe-2, a speech-recognition model the company says is faster, more accurate, and cheaper than anything OpenAI, Google, or ElevenLabs currently sells. Then it priced the thing at 10 cents per hour of audio.That figure deserves a pause. When Microsoft AI shipped the first model in this line just five months ago, it charged $0.36 an hour. Thursday's early-bird price cuts that by roughly 72%. For an enterprise processing 100,000 hours of call-center audio a year — a modest volume for a large bank or telecom — the bill drops from $36,000 to $10,000. At that level, transcription stops being a line item anyone argues about.The release arrives as Microso…

Google keeps cranking out Flash models: the company on Wednesday announced two versions of a new 3.8 Flash. The variants include a standard Flash, a “workhorse” model for agentic tasks, software development, and multi-step reasoning, and Flash Cyber optimized for vulnerability detection and mitigation.Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an X post that 3.8 Flash delivers “significant leaps” from 3.7 Flash across software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning. For instance, it outperformed many large frontier models on the DeepSWE coding benchmark, at far lower cost. Meanwhile, Flash Cyber is the company’s “most capable” cybersecurity model, Pichai said; it also matches frontier-l…

Meta is entering the increasingly competitive real-time speech-to-text market with Muse Voice Transcribe, a new audio perception model that combines streaming transcription, endpoint detection and speaker diarization for more than 20 speakers — at a public API price of just $0.18 per hour of processed audio.Developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs, Muse is designed to process speech while it happens rather than waiting for a recording to finish. Meta’s launch post for Muse Voice Transcribe says the model supports long audio exceeding an hour, seamless multilingual code-switching, language and keyword biasing, and diarization without a separate post-processing pipeline. The model was trained…

When enterprise buyers build out their next AI accelerator evaluation list this cycle, they're more likely to put a non-Nvidia chip on it than Nvidia's own next-generation GPU. According to VentureBeat's July VB Pulse survey of 170 AI infrastructure respondents, 39.4% said they're likely to evaluate non-Nvidia accelerators — AWS Trainium, Google TPU, AMD Instinct, Intel Gaudi or in-house ASICs — over the next 12 months, compared with 25.3% for Nvidia Blackwell (GB300) or other next-generation Nvidia GPUs, a 14-point gap.Nvidia remains the default in most production environments. But organizations are building real optionality into their accelerator strategy rather than treating Nvidia as th…

Vendors are building entire go-to-market motions around engineers who embed with customers, wire products into operating environments, and make the demo real. Investors often read FDE headcount as a growth signal and buyers read it as a promise of speed. Neither tells you whether the w…

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

Also: Claude sent a false homicide tip to police – and it’s part of a troubling AI patternIn separate instances, the agents turned off alignment-monitoring alerts.

Why it mattersUnlike recent security incidents, where agents explicitly breached systems, examples like these show AI agents suppressing one of the most crucial ways developers can track their behavior.

“We’ve seen several cases in which agents launched a deployment with misalignment monitoring disabled: the agent itself remained monitored, but that monitoring did not cover t…

Now, Google has beefed up the security in Chrome to further protect you from becoming a victim of online scams.

Warnings about suspicious websitesFirst up is protection against suspicious websites.

With this update, Chrome can now distinguish between suspicious sites and dangerous sites by flashing different warnings.

The alert for a suspicious site is more subtle, giving you the option to still visit and use the site if you’re certain it’s legit.

Also: Inside Google’s faster Chrome patch strategy to block AI attacksWith the latest update, Chrome will now detect if you’re tricked into copying suspicious commands.

The five new Blink cameras coming to market are the Blink Frontier XR+, Blink Outdoor 2K XR+, Blink Mini 4K+, Blink Pan-Tilt Zoom 2K+, and Blink Spotlight 2K+, filling out its catalog with cameras designed for very large outdoor properties.

More from ZDNETThe Blink Mini 4K+ is an $80 wired security camera built for indoor and outdoor use, and the first 4K wired camera from Blink.

These features are a big upgrade over the original Blink Mini, the Mini 2, and the newer Mini 2K+.

The Blink Mini 4K+ is the category’s flagship this year, finally bringing extraordinary resolution to what was an HD camera just a year ago.

This PTZ camera is also weatherproof, so you can use it outside with a Blink…

Software company ServiceNow has partnered with Nvidia to address that need by combining AI capabilities with security-first guardrails.

Arc, which ServiceNow and Nvidia call “a personal long-running AI agent that can take on everyday work,” is generally available as of Wednesday.

Designed to run efficiently on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark devices, it can run locally on an employee’s desktop or within Nvidia OpenShell on its own device.

That lets Nvidia’s features like OpenShell intervene efficiently if an AI agent takes action it’s not supposed to, the companies explained.

With the other pieces of ServiceNow and Nvidia’s security puzzle, AI Passport functions like a bridge between ServiceNow infr…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The company also reported an adjusted profit for that period.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apple had also found no OpenAI files on its servers.

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

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

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

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

OpenAI has put compute and infrastructure under one executive.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Abdulrahman Alfozan, the OpenAI engineer charged over a hidden recording device, had one-way tickets to Saudi Arabia booked for three days after his arrest, according to a court filing.

The OpenAI engineer charged over a hidden recording device had a one-way ticket out of the United States booked for three days after his arrest.

Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, had tickets to Saudi Arabia via Istanbul, with his wife and another family member, Bloomberg reported.

He is charged with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications, which carries up to five years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Salience Labs has raised an oversubscribed $125M Series B led by Bullhound Capital, with AMD Ventures, Intel Capital and the British Business Bank taking part.

The Oxfordshire company will use it to scale manufacturing and open a second West Coast office.

An Oxfordshire photonics company has raised $125M to build optical switches for AI data centres.

The research is British and German, part of the money is British state money, and the expansion is in California.

Bullhound Capital led the oversubscribed round, with AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, SBI Group, Hudson River Trading and the British Business Bank joining, the company said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Uncertainty weighs on the stockThe legal status of sports event contracts is still being fought in the courts, with …

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

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

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

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

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

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

AI allegations and a shareholder reviewThe Louisiana Gaming Control Board’s review follows a New York Times report alleging that DraftKings used AI to direct promotions and bonus inducements toward customers considered more likely to bet more.

The Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division found information indicating that some DraftKings shareholders with stakes of 5% or more had not completed customary suitability reviews.

He denied that the compan…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prediction markets let users buy and sell contracts tied to real-world outcomes.

Its data and distribution role in prediction markets is distinct from operating an exchange.

He said the category could expand Sportradar’s U.S. total addressable market by opening new states, attracting players and increasing sports engagement.

The sponsored article also names FanDuel and DraftKings as sportsbook operators developing prediction-market products.

DraftKings’ move reflects the broader commercial push into the category, including attention to how prediction-market products may generate revenue.

Google’s certification rulesGoogle added a section on prediction markets to its main Google Ads policies document in the week before CDC Gaming published its report.

Underdog sued Tennessee, its attorney general and the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council after receiving a cease-and-desist order over sports-event contracts.

Underdog has sued seven states over efforts to stop its sports-event contracts: Washington, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Ohio, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

The competing approaches to federal and state oversight of prediction markets have left operators facing both legal challenges and location-specific advertising limits.

Awareness remained limited: 42% had heard o…

The pattern forms part of more than $600 million in combined volume across the platform’s Ethiopia and Romania election markets, where trading continued after major electoral events.

Polymarket kept the original election market open while a separate market ran for the subsequent vote, creating another period in which contracts linked to a disrupted process remained available.

Rajiv Sethi, a Barnard College economics professor who studies prediction markets, and colleagues developed an algorithm that flagged nearly all of the Romanian market’s volume as suspicious; during certain weeks, it classified 99.6% as wash trading.

Oversight questions remainSethi has described the Romanian activity a…

It would cover under-21 gambling at casinos or simulcasting facilities, as well as adults who allow someone in their legal care or custody to gamble and casino licensees or employees who permit underage gambling.

Who the proposed fines would coverS597 applies to people who gamble at a casino or simulcasting facility before turning 21.

Its scope also reaches people responsible for a minor and casino licensees or employees when they allow underage gambling at those facilities.

That distinction matters: S597 does not simply eliminate consequences for underage gambling.

Under the proposal, repeat offenses would carry higher civil fines, and collected revenue would go toward gambling prevention,…

The CFTC is proposing clearer rules for event contracts as New Jersey asks the Supreme Court to review whether it can enforce gambling laws against Kalshi’s sports markets.

Kalshi’s New Jersey protection remains temporaryKalshi can continue offering sports contracts in New Jersey under a preliminary injunction.

New Jersey filed its Supreme Court petition on Sept. 2.

The continuing uncertainty reflects a broader legal dispute over state gambling rules and federal oversight.

The CFTC is collecting comments on its event-contract proposal; Kalshi’s response to New Jersey’s Supreme Court petition is due Nov. 9, according to the court docket.

Tribal gaming advocate Jason Giles and Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Mike Dreitzer challenged Kalshi’s claim that its sports-event contracts qualify as swaps, arguing that the products remain subject to gaming oversight.

Kalshi and other operators describe their sports contracts as innovative products that meet the legal definition of a swap.

Giles, the Indian Gaming Association’s executive director, questioned what tribes signing agreements with Kalshi gain from the partnerships and warned that waiving tribal-sovereign immunity could expose tribes to future lawsuits.

The dispute turns on whether sports-event contracts receive federal derivatives treatment or remain subject to state …

South Carolina lawmakers’ proposed online sports-betting framework could eventually generate about $40 million a year, with 5% of revenue earmarked for problem-gambling treatment and prevention.

The South Carolina Department of Mental Health would receive 5% for problem-gambling treatment and prevention, while 3% would cover administration.

South Carolina remains outside that group, although residents are described as using gambling apps, fantasy sports products, prediction markets and offshore sportsbooks.

The Supreme Court of the United States – Photo: bettrichard873Several gambling-related bills have appeared in recent South Carolina legislative sessions.

Sports betting in North Carolina…

The Louisiana Gaming Control Board unanimously granted DraftKings a conditional four-month extension of its sports-betting permit while regulators examine allegations about its use of artificial intelligence and questions about shareholder suitability.

The board said the action is not a finding that DraftKings did anything wrong.

The extension allows the company to keep operating in Louisiana while the investigation continues.

DraftKings disputed the allegation about targeting losing customers.

That is DraftKings’ position, not a finding by Louisiana regulators.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Instagram today began testing a new long-form horizontal video format with select creators in the U.S.

Instagram doubles down on long-form horizontal videoEvery now and again, Instagram tries to go after YouTube with a new product.

IGTV, for instance, was one of the social network’s attempts at competing in the long-form video space.

Today, as reported by THR, Instagram kicked off a new attempt to compete with YouTube with Features, a new format that supports horizontal videos up to 90 minutes long.

With Features, Instagram seems to be looking to capitalize on that trend, turning those clips into a gateway to full-length episodes.
