Сделка позволит компании дольше оставаться частной.

Сервис запустил Premium Lite в 2024 году.

Клиенты компании не готовы, считает гендиректор.

Когда она выйдет, неясно.

Продажи пока открыли только в Малайзии.

Теперь беспилотные поездки доступны в десяти городах страны.

Пересказ интервью РБК с Анной Акиньшиной.

Пока только шины.

А также против банков «Синара», «Аверс» и «АК Барс».

Разбирательство продолжается с 2022 года.

B4 - инструмент обхода разноуровневых DPI на Go с удобной веб-мордой.

B4 - другой подход: веб-интерфейс, полная интеграция v2ray geodat-файлов и автоматический подбор стратегий и применение изменений на лету без перезапуска.

Два режима:Whitelist - обход DPI только для выбранных устройствBlacklist - обход для всех, кроме выбранныхУстройства подтягиваются из DHCP-leases роутера автоматически.

Запускается из интерфейса сета или с главной страницы.

Инструмент не меняет маршрут и не открывает доступ к заблокированным ресурсам.

Консоль, терминал, TTY, виртуальная консоль, виртуальный терминал, эмулятор терминала, оболочка — это просто «вот то чёрное окошко, куда вводят команды Linux».

Телетайп работал как на отправку текста, так и на его приём.

Оператор мог видеть отправляемый текст (эхо), текст уже печатался на листах бумаги, а не на ленте.

Но здесь stdin перенаправлен через < /dev/pts/6, поэтому символы вставляются не в твой терминал, а в терминал, открытый на /dev/pts/6.

TTY — это не «магия терминала», а чётко организованный механизм ядра, связывающий процессы, драйверы и сигнальную подсистему.

Ночные смены, куча коробок на складе, менеджеры по логистике спрашивают, что это, и так далее.

Одна нам особенно понравилась: они позиционировали себя как крутой ИТ-стартап (это во-первых), а ещё делали персонализированные сыворотки (это во-вторых).

И тут стало резко понятно, почему их крутое решение так никто и не купил.

Почему всё сломалосьУ нас был скромный план, надёжный, как швейцарские часы: получить 1500–2000 заказов за месяц и на них изучить: как нейросеть собирает корзину, как склад пакует набор и как логистика везёт его покупателю.

Слава богу, таких было немного, и мы не особо пострадали по этому поводу.

В статье расскажу о технологиях, лежащих в основе VK Видео, и жизненном цикле контента на платформе: от загрузки и обработки до доставки зрителям.

Она предоставляет продуктам компании VK (среди них ВКонтакте, VK Клипы, VK Видео, Одноклассники и другие) функции загрузки, обработки, хранения и доставки видеоконтента.

Платформа преобразует видео (transcoding) — авторы могут загрузить видео в произвольном формате, а платформа преобразует его в унифицированный, чтобы зрители смотрели контент без технических проблем.

Он поставляется в составе SDK и используется внутри сервисов VK (например, ВКонтакте, VK Видео, в Дзене и Одноклассниках).

В VK Видео и в подобных видеосервисах одно и то же видео мо…

В итоге мы по-максимуму переиспользуем уже готовый и реализованный Wireguard в самом Mikrotik, а допишем и реализуем только то, что ему не хватает - Handshake с AmneziaWG!

Не в криптографию (она нас не касается), а именно в структуру датаграмм:WireGuard использует ровно четыре типа UDP-сообщений.

Байт в байт.

MAC1 в Handshake Init - это:mac1key = BLAKE2s-256("mac1" || server_public_key) MAC1 = BLAKE2s-128(mac1key, packet[0:116]) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ включая type в bytes [0:4] !

MikroTik: MAC1 = BLAKE2s-128(key, [01,00,00,00 | rest...]) - вычислил Прокси: type = 01,00,00,00 -> 38,89,89,3D (H1) - заменил Сервер: MAC1' = BLAKE2s-128(key, [38,89,89,3D | rest...]) - ожидает MAC1 != MAC1' - DROPВот и п…

Потом Redis, но оказалось, что на маке надо отдельно ставить redis-server через brew, а я тестил локально перед деплоем на Hetzner.

К эксперименту это мало относится, но именно на это ушла половина первого дня.

Не потому что это сломало эксперимент — просто стало понятно, что любое регулирование они обойдут, а мне интереснее было наблюдать органическое развитие.

Что я не могу объяснитьПочему именно эти агенты разбогатели?

И что с этим делатьНу, я не экономист и не социолог.

Я не боюсь, что меня вышвырнут на улицу, потому что ИИ начнет писать код и проектировать системы лучше меня.

Нет, я не перестал смотреть в зеркало перед перестроением (к счастью, за пару лет потерять этот навык непросто).

Мои ровесники подтвердят, что в начале девяностых мы помнили наизусть телефоны всех легких на подъём девах и пары-тройки друзей.

Форд столько наговорил за свою жизнь, что обсуждать его реплики всерьёз я не возьмусь, а вот про математику — у меня есть, что сказать.

Я уже очень давно читаю меню в ресторанах слева направо и уверен, что мне хватит денег на то, что я физически смогу унести из продовольственного магазина.

А дальше и сам цикл Game++ постепенно вырос из отдельных технических размышлений о C++, архитектуре движков и производительности в связный нарратив.

Идея написать книгу не пришла просто так, и несколько не связанных между собой людей и компаний связались и предложили переписать цикл статей в виде книги.

Книга стала способом расширить и объём, и примеры и дать больше философии.

Q: Как AI использовали для помощи (это видимо очень всех волнует, потому что я получил порядка 40 сообщений с этим вопросом) ?

Q: Как с вами связаться?

На самом деле, сплошная ледовая пустыня там не везде и не всегда.

Теплые циклоны, текущие с юга реки, круглосуточное солнце полярным днем - все это топит лед, и не всегда предсказуемым образом.

Только осторожно - помимо льда, у вас останется рассол, который не только жидкий, но и очень холодный, зараза.

Так и пресный лед может треснуть, а уж соленый, у которого в центре почти несжимаемое "ядро" из рассола, и вовсе взрывается.

А жаль - что вообще может быть круче, чем взрывать льдины СИЛОЙ РАССОЛА?

Надо сказать, что не только «гражданские» авто этим грешат: суперкары, в погоне за красивыми формами, лишились привычных ручек.

И в одном из случаев с загоревшимся SU7 за рулём был нетрезвый водитель — что у него в голове было, можно только догадываться.

Скорее всего, водитель пытался открыть дверь с кнопки на двери, но не понимал, что она не работает.

Будучи за рулём в нетрезвом состоянии, вы создаёте опасность как для себя, так и для окружающих.

Мы привыкаем к расположению органов управления машиной, и в любой нештатной ситуации, мозг начинает паниковать, заставляя водителя чувствовать себя дискомфортно.

A и Б означали диапазон рабочих температур от -60 до +70 °C, а В и Г — диапазон от -10 до +50 °C.

Микросхемы с индексами А и В отличались более высокой допустимой нагрузкой в сравнении с чипами, обозначенными Б и Г.В 110-й серии также были микросхемы, не имевшие аналогов в серии SN51.

Возможно, выпуск этих микросхем продолжался бы и дальше, но наступила «Перестройка», СССР развалился, и завод во Фрязино оказался под угрозой банкротства.

110ИЛ1АМикросхемы 110-й серии, выпускавшиеся в 80-х и начале 90-х, до сих пор можно встретить в прайс-листах российских компаний, торгующих электроникой.

Во-первых: удалёнка — в прошломИз-за активной блокировки VPN-протоколов многие работодатели начинают возвращать сотрудников в офис, чтобы исключить «неопределённость с доступами».

Во-вторых: вакансий станет ещё меньшеДопустим, в Новосибирске есть хорошая, высокооплачиваемая вакансия, а я живу в Москве.

Переезд — дорого и сложно, а на высокооплачиваемую вакансию в другом городе или стране он просто не сможет устроиться.

И в какой-то момент будущее айтишника, закончившего Бауманку с красным дипломом, начинает выглядеть так: касса в «Пятёрочке» и сканер штрих-кодов вместо клавиатуры.

Ну и отдельный вопрос на подумать: куда, по-вашему, можно уйти из IT, чтобы не потерять в деньгах и не начинать…

В этой статье мы разберем, как на самом деле работает замедление Telegram, какие методы позволяют вернуть полную скорость работы мессенджераАнатомия замедленияЭпоха простых блокировок по IP-адресам ушла.

Обнаружение «тормозящих» диапазоновЭнтузиасты заметили интересную деталь: замедление часто накладывается не на весь Telegram сразу, а на конкретные диапазоны IP-адресов.

Продвинутый DPI может не просто анализировать пакеты, а сам подключиться к вашему IP и проверить: «А правда ли тут сайт?».

Это позволит прокси и сайту жить на одном IP и порту.

При сканировании снаружи будет виден обычный сайт, но для Telegram порт станет входом в прокси.

Это, вероятно, первый и последний пример, когда JIT реализовывается не на уровне VM, а на уровне ISA процессора...Одна из моих кроссплатформенных 3D-демок.

Заточен он был исключительно под игры и на нём вышло несколько очень крутых, на момент выхода, игр.

Чаще всего у устройств не было не то что FPU, даже аппаратного деления в процессоре зачастую не было.

Её поддержку добавляли и в простые телефоны, и в смартфоны, а сама платформа продолжала обрастать функционалом и новыми пакетами.

И что самое интересное, весь юзерспейс Android'а был написан на Java, что сильно упростило переход уже существующих Java-разработчиков на смартфоны.

Новость об уходе Фила Спенсера на пенсию и назначение вместо него Аши Шармы с болью встретил создатель оригинального Xbox Шеймус Блэкли.

Xbox и другие подразделения, не связанные с ИИ, уйдут в закат.

Шеймус БлэклиАша Шарма не играет в игры: она присоединилась к Microsoft всего лишь два года назад и возглавила подразделение CoreAI, где курировала команды, обеспечивающие работу ИИ для самой Microsoft и её корпоративных клиентов.

По словам его источников в Microsoft, руководство боится потерять Xbox, поскольку это чуть ли не единственный из оставшихся успешных потребительских брендов компании с активными фанатами.

Но сможет ли она создать образ цветущего Xbox в глазах игроков?

Корейский бренд дамплингов bibigo выпустил Scroll Sticks — палочки для еды с наконечниками, совместимыми с сенсорными экранами.

По задумке одним концом вы берёте пищу, а другим — листаете тиктоки, шортсы или что вы там смотрите.

Наконечники съёмные, благодаря чему палочки можно мыть вручную или в посудомойке.

Тираж ограниченный, но другого ждать и не стоило, ведь идея Scroll Sticks не в прибыли.

Скорее, это отличная сатира на нашу жизнь, где почти каждый приём пищи совмещён с залипаловом в смартфоне или другом гаджете.

Разработанная в партнёрстве с MediaTek система-на-чипе появится в потребительских ноутбуках во второй половине года.

DELL и Lenovo уже готовят свои модели к запуску в производство — сообщает Wall Street Journal.

Близкие к ним неттопы DGX Spark стоят от $4000 и работают на кастомной операционке NVIDIA на базе Linux — у Windows на ARM по-прежнему всё плохо.

А вот для геймеров и простых работяг NVIDIA готовит отдельный сюрприз: линейку чипов на архитектуре x86 для ноутбуков и компактных ПК.

Процессорные ядра для новой APU разработает Intel, а интегрированную графику подгонит NVIDIA.

Минувшей ночью Telegram обвинили в пособничестве террористам, кибермошенникам и экстремистам сразу в двух изданиях — «Российской газете» и «Комсомольской правде».

Действия самого Павла Дурова расценили как содействие терроризму и указали ч.

В теории это может привести к тому, что мессенджер приравняют к Meta* и её продуктам.

И значит, что все публикации будут содержать сноску о признании «телеги» экстремистской, а рекламироваться через неё будет запрещено.

* Meta признана в РФ экстремистской и запрещена на территории страны.

Американский производитель сантехники Kohler представил систему фильтрации использованной воды: после душа она не уходит в канализацию, а возвращается обратно в лейку.

По словам Kohler, умный душ сокращает расход воды аж на 80 %, но реальной экономии от него немного: стоит такая система $7500 без учёта сантехники и встраиваемого резервуара для отстойной воды — он устанавливается отдельно за $825.

По нашим расчётам, с московскими тарифами ЖКХ семье из двух человек придётся примерно лет пять мыться «грязной» водой каждый день, прежде чем установка сможет выйти на окупаемость.

Это без учёта дополнительных трат на замену фильтров и электроэнергию: без неё помпа не сможет прокачивать воду через …

Под удар попали те, кто оформил подписки через партнёров компании: Samsung, Revolut, Airtel и другие.

Ранее Perplexity сама продвигала льготные подписки, а теперь отменяет их массово, даже если оплаченный период ещё не закончился.

Отмена может быть следствием большого контракта с Samsung, но выглядит как шляпа полная.

Пока корейцы добавляют поиск Perplexity в голосовой ассистент Bixby, сам Perplexity демонстрирует, как легко можно кинуть платящую аудиторию.

Если у компании в очередной раз не сойдётся экономика, то отрезать от сервиса могут уже покупателей смартфонов Samsung.

За период январь−октябрь 2025 года количество поисковых запросов по iPod Classic и iPod Nano выросло до 25 %, — сообщает Axios со ссылкой на данные Google Trends.

Почти всю жизнь их окружают устройства, перетягивающие внимание на себя, из-за чего нервная система перегружается — и смартфоны стали средоточием такой концепции.

Это позволяет сфокусироваться на одном процессе, например от прослушивания музыки, и успокоиться.

Уже давно существуют спецы, которые занимаются модификацией плееров, устанавливая туда модули Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, памяти и других компонентов за небольшую цену.

Вот так получил свой кастомный айпод, накатил туда собственный плейлист и пошел гулять в лес.

Сэма Альтмана попросили прокомментировать колоссальные затраты энергии на обслуживание ИИ, а он слегка увлёкся:На обучение человека также уходит много энергии.

И это не всё.

Он считает, что сравнивать нужно то, как быстро ChatGPT и человек могут обучиться, чтобы ответить на конкретный вопрос.

Потому что ИИ здесь и он уже никуда не уйдёт.

За потребительской памятью он уже пришёл, а теперь, кажется, нацелился и на людей.

Мы помним, как ещё не представленные макбуки и айпэды оказывались в руках блогеров, включая наши, за несколько дней до их презентации, а теперь такая же участь постигла и Samsung.

Презентация линейки S26 пройдёт только в среду, 25 февраля, но в сети уже появились фотографии коробок, а также распаковки ультра-флагмана компании.

Блогер из ОАЭ Сахил Кароул купил до анонса трубку за $3300 и начал рассказывать об этом смартфоне.

Ранее у Samsung утекли промоматериалы на испанском языке, а также стали известны официальные российские цены на смартфоны.

Ждём, когда аналогичную «Ультру» подкинут и в наши кусты!

Анонсированный ранее live-ивент станет заключением трёхдневной бомбёжки новыми продуктами Apple, — сообщает Марк Гурман из Bloomberg.

С 2 по 4 марта нас ждут «минимум пять новых продуктов», среди которых будут железо, софт и чипы.

Гурман считает, что наиболее вероятный релиз — бюджетный MacBook на чипе iPhone 16 Pro.

В магазинах также кончаются запасы iPhone 16e, MacBook Air M4 и MacBook Pro на чипах M4 Pro и Max.

А вот релиз Mac Studio и нового Studio Display Гурман назвал «излишеством».

По данным FitStars и Kaiten, сотрудники часто испытывают неловкость при перерывах в рабочее время: 73% признались, что им стыдно делать короткие паузы.

При этом 46% используют для отдыха скроллинг соцсетей и новостей.

Больше половины сотрудников не делают паузы из-за загрузки77% сотрудников считают отдыхом перерыв на кофе или чай, но на практике многие не позволяют себе паузы из-за разных препятствий.

При этом чувство вины почти отсутствует у тех, кто делает паузу на кофе (6%), и каждый второй испытывает неловкость за скроллинг соцсетей.

Ещё 35% хотят установить прозрачные нормы коммуникации, при которых не нужно будет отвечать в мессенджерах в обеденное и нерабочее время.

Объём сделок с первичным жильём в российских городах-миллионниках в январе 2026 года увеличился на 66% год к году и достиг 24,1 тыс.

Резкий рост активности связан с изменением условий программы льготной ипотеки с 1 февраля, ограничившим число кредитов на одну семью.

Продажи новостроек в январе 2026 года взлетели в 2–4 раза в Уфе — но упали в МосквеВ январе 2026 года в ряде крупных городов России был зафиксирован значительный рост продаж на первичном рынке жилья.

— это в четыре раза больше, чем в январе 2025 года.

Рост показателей стал особенно заметен на фоне низких показателей в январе 2025 года, когда рынок находился в стадии значительного спада.

В России предотвратили 475 теракта, координировавшихся через TelegramОснователь Telegram Павел Дуров стал фигурантом уголовного дела в России, сообщила «Российская газета» со ссылкой на материалы ФСБ.

Павел Дуров подтвердил информацию об уголовном деле — об этом он написал в своём канале.

В посте основатель Telegram заявил, что власти России «ежедневно придумывают новые предлоги», чтобы ограничить доступ к мессенджеру в стране.

Ограничения Telegram связаны с несоблюдением российского законодательстваРанее на заседании Госдумы Максут Шадаев сообщил, что с 2022 года более 150 тыс.

В августе 2025 года Роскомнадзор ввёл частичные ограничения на голосовую и видеосвязь в Telegram и WhatsApp*.

Основатель сети «Додо Пицца» Фёдор Овчинников прокомментировал инцидент с увольнением курьера за то, что тот укрыл собаку брендированным пледом в мороз.

Также «Додо Пицца» будет помогать приютам для животных.

«Додо Пицца» будет системно помогать приютам24 февраля 2026 года в компании заявили, что все пиццерии сети в России станут pet-friendly — в заведениях будут рады гостям с домашними питомцами.

В компании отметили, что и раньше помогали приютам, однако это происходило на уровне отдельных городов и часто без публичной огласки.

КонтекстРанее стало известно, что «Додо Пицца» выходит на рынок Мексики по франчайзинговой схеме.

В VK эту информацию опровергли.

Ранее газета написала, что одной из причин отказа от проекта может стать небольшое количество пользовательского контента на платформе «VK Видео».

В VK, напротив, указали на рост числа авторов — за последние два месяца на «VK Видео» появилось 70 тыс.

В VK также сообщили, что грантовые программы для авторов сохраняются, а официальное сообщество «Школы авторов» в соцсети продолжает работу.

Образовательная платформа включает бесплатные курсы для блогеров и авторов сообществ «ВКонтакте» с аудиторией до 100 тыс.

Андреас Клинг (Andreas Kling), основатель web-браузера Ladybird, объявил о решении задействовать язык Rust при разработке проекта и начале переписывания частей Ladybird на данном языке.

В качестве эксперимента с C++ на Rust уже переписан JavaScript-движок LibJS.

Вариант на Rust продемонстрировал полное совпадение генерируемого AST и байткода с вариантом на С++, регрессий пока не выявлено.

Кроме того, полное совпадение показало сравнительное тестирование результатов обработки сайтов при использовании вариантов LibJS на C++ и Rust.

Новый код на Rust будет сосуществовать с существующим кодом на C++ через явно определённые уровни интероперабельности.

После двух лет разработки представлен релиз дистрибутива Lakka 6.1 (выпуск 6.0 был пропущен), позволяющего превратить ПК, телеприставки или одноплатные компьютеры в полноценную игровую консоль для запуска ретроигр. Проект является модификацией дистрибутива LibreELEC, изначально рассчитанного на создание домашних кинотеатров. Сборки Lakka формируются для платформ i386, x86_64 (GPU Intel, NVIDIA или AMD), Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Banana Pi, Odroid и т.д. Для установки достаточно записать дистрибутив на SD-карту или USB-накопитель, подключить геймпад и загрузить систему.

После почти двух лет разработки опубликован выпуск визуального редактора научных документов LyX 2.5.0, позволяющего создавать тексты с использованием разметки TeX/LaTeX, наглядно редактируя макет документа в WYSIWYM-представлении.

Альянс Open Media (AOMedia), курирующий разработку формата кодирования видео AV1 и формата изображений AVIF, приступил к разработке звукового кодека Open Audio Codec (OAC), который преподносится как продолжение развития кодека Opus, разработанного организацией Xiph.Org. В качестве эталонной реализации кодировщика и декодировщика OAC под лицензией BSD предложена библиотека liboac, созданная на основе кода библиотеки libopus.

Реми Вершельде (Rémi Verschelde), один из ключевых сопровождающих открытый игровой движдок Godot и сооснователь компании W4 Games, заявил, что нарастающий поток низкокачественных pull-запросов, сгенерированных при помощи больших языковых моделей, выматывает и деморализует разработчиков Godot, занимающихся рецензированием изменений. По словам Реми, проект Godot гордится своей открытостью для новых участников и предоставляет любому пользователю возможность повлиять на развитие движка. Сопровождающие Godot тратят много времени, помогая привести pull-запросы к должному состоянию, но при текущем обилии сомнительных изменений Реми не знает, сколько ещё команда сможет выдержать.

По данным исследователей, сгенерированные большими языковыми моделями предсказуемые пароли используются на практике реальными пользователями и предлагаются в процессе работы над кодом AI-ассистентами.

Шаблонность подобных паролей является следствием построения контента большими языковыми моделями на основе предсказания токенов.

Anthropic, the wildly successful AI company that has cast itself as the most safety-conscious of the top research labs, is dropping the central pledge of its flagship safety policy, company officials tell TIME.

That decision included scrapping the promise to not release AI models if Anthropic can’t guarantee proper risk mitigations in advance.

For nearly a year, Anthropic executives discussed ways to reshape their flagship safety policy to match this new environment, Kaplan says.

For example, by constraining itself from releasing new models, Anthropic’s original RSP also incentivized it to quickly build safety mitigations.

It’s the latest evidence in support of a hotly debated theory regarding the evolutionary origins of human fondness for alcohol.

At the time, skeptical scientists insisted that this was unlikely because chimpanzees and other primates just don’t eat fermented fruit or nectar.

Earlier this year, we reported that researchers had caught wild chimpanzees on camera engaging in what appears to be sharing fermented African breadfruit with measurable alcoholic content.

After adjusting for the chimps’ lower body mass, the authors concluded the chimps are consuming nearly two drinks per day.

A thankless taskThe next step was to sample the chimps’ urine to see if it contains any alcohol metabolites, as …

Discovery (WBD) from $30 per share to $31 per share, WBD said today.

Paramount previously agreed to pay the $2.8 billion termination fee that WBD would be subject to if it canceled its merger deal with Netflix.

WBD’s board has not decided if Paramount’s revamped offer is better than what Netflix has offered.

It’s unclear if Netflix would be willing to pay more for WBD’s streaming and movie businesses than what it’s already offered.

Regardless of the ultimate buyer, any WBD merger is expected to face intense regulatory scrutiny, lead to higher subscription prices, and have a lasting impact on Hollywood.

The bad news is that overall demand rose appreciably, and a fair chunk of that was met by additional coal use.

On the good side, solar continued its run of astonishing growth, generating 35 percent more power than a year earlier and surpassing hydroelectric power for the first time.

(These factors include things like the switch to heat pumps, the electrification of transportation, and the growth in data centers.

If demand grows more slowly, the additional 85 terawatt-hours generated by expanded utility-scale and small solar installations would have easily met it.

As it was, the growth of utility-scale solar was only sufficient to cover about two-thirds of the rising demand (or 73 percent if…

DJI, the most popular consumer drone maker, is suing over the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s import ban against new, foreign-made drones, which has been in effect since December 23, 2025.

On Tuesday, the Shenzhen-headquartered company filed a petition [PDF] with the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that seeks to overturn the FCC’s decision to list DJI on its Covered List.

In January, the FCC exempted a limited number of foreign-made drones, including some coming from Europe, until the end of this year.

The FCC also provided exemptions for some foreign-made critical drone components, including those from Japanese companies Sony and Panasonic, and South Korean company Sams…

A UK regulator today fined Reddit £14.5 million ($19.6 million) for not verifying the ages of users.

The UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) alleged that the failure to check ages resulted in Reddit illegally using children’s personal information.

The ICO findings are based on Reddit’s actions prior to its July 2025 rollout of a system that verifies UK users’ ages before letting them view adult content.

Reddit today said it will appeal the fine and criticized the ICO for demanding more collection of private information.

You can share as much or as little about yourself as you want when using Reddit.”

Apple plans to start manufacturing the Mac mini in the United States later this year, the company announced today, as part of its $600 billion commitment to expand its domestic manufacturing operation.

The Macs will be made in a facility in Houston, the same facility Apple uses for “advanced AI server manufacturing.” CEO Tim Cook says these AI servers are shipping “ahead of schedule.” The facility will also eventually provide “hands-on training in advanced manufacturing techniques” for students, Apple employees, “and American businesses of all sizes.”Apple and many other US tech companies have announced plans to expand their domestic manufacturing operations, just one element of a multi-pro…

Over 20 years later, thousands of volunteers have collaborated on the mod projects Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel, building a space comparable in size to a small country.

Tamriel Rebuilt was born.

After realizing that re-creating the entire continent was too lofty a goal, the group decided to instead focus on the rest of the Morrowind province alone—but that didn’t last long.

In 2015, those two projects combined to form Project Tamriel, reigniting the goal of adding the remaining provinces of Tamriel.

Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel first became connected when the modders decided to combine their asset repositories into Tamriel_Data, but they have since grown closer through their s…

Globally, Nissan offers a series hybrid system called E-Power, but the company has been reluctant to offer it Stateside.

For the last few years, Lamborghini has been in a quandary: What to do about an electric vehicle?

Among the supercar brands, Lamborghini has always stood out as favoring drama over lap times.

As part of Volkswagen Group, Lamborghini has access to the EV platforms used by fellow VW Group brands Audi and Porsche, so it’s not a question of access to technology.

As Tim Stevens found out for Ars last year, in this rarefied end of the car market, the customers just aren’t interested in EVs.

But engineering sufficient drama into an electric SUV, even a very fast one, evidently proved too much.

Meta has struck a multi-billion dollar chip deal with AMD that could lead to the Facebook owner taking a 10 percent stake in the group, sending shares in the US chipmaker surging on Tuesday.

The shares-for-chips arrangement represents the latest “circular” transaction in the industry and mirrors a deal AMD struck with OpenAI in October, in which the ChatGPT maker was offered a 10 percent stake in the chip group over time.

Shares in AMD, which has a market capitalization of $320 billion, surged 14 percent in pre-market trading on Tuesday.

Meta will receive its first tranche of AMD shares in the second half of this year when the first gigawatt of chips is shipped, Su said.

Scotch tape has been a household mainstay for nearly a century, but it still holds some scientific surprises.

Scotch tape has also generated considerable interest among physicists.

Back in 1939, scientists noticed that peeling tape could produce light—specifically, a glowing line where the tape end pulls away from the roll.

The jumping electrons collide with nitrogen atoms in the air, which briefly absorb the energy and then emit UV light.

The effect is made visible by the wintergreen oil used for flavoring, i.e., fluorescent methyl salicylate, which absorbs UV light and converts it into blue light.

The rhetoric around prioritizing payloads over launchers aligns with the Space Force’s recent history of supporting small startups.

SpaceWERX awarded a single STRATFI agreement to a launch company—ABL Space Systems—and that firm has since exited the space launch market.

“We’re on path for mass-produced launch,” said Purdy, the military deputy for space acquisition in the Department of the Air Force.

“We have got our ranges situated so we can do mass-produced launch.

We’ve got AI pieces that are mass-produced, satellite buses are nearly there, and our payloads are the last element.

It seems that tech giants eyeing rural zones for data center development have underestimated how attached American farmers have grown to their lands in the decades they’ve been nurturing them.

Globally, 40,000 acres are needed to support data center growth over the next five years, Hines Research estimated.

For “Silicon Valley executives,” rural areas are likely attractive due to “weak zoning protections, cheap power, and abundant water,” The Guardian reported.

Ultimately, Huddleston had to search public records to figure out that a data center was even being planned in the area, The Guardian reported.

The lack of transparency is a problem, farmers have said, because what buyers want to do …

Panasonic, once revered for its plasma TVs, is giving up on making its own TV sets.

Panasonic also said that it will provide support “for all Panasonic TVs sold up to March 2026 and all those available from April.”Skyworth-made Panasonic TVs will be sold in the US and Europe.

Panasonic’s wavering TV businessPanasonic has been wavering on its commitment to the TV business for at least 12 years.

But in March 2014, Panasonic quit making plasma TVs, pointing to increasing interest in flat-screen LCD TVs and economic challenges derived from the bankruptcy of global investment bank Lehman Brothers.

At the time, Panasonic reportedly hadn’t made money off of its popular, high-contrast plasma TVs fo…

Last week’s surprise departure of Phil Spencer from Microsoft led to the promotion of Asha Sharma, who comes to head Microsoft’s gaming division after two years as president of the company’s CoreAI Product group.

Despite that recent history, Sharma says in a new interview that she has “no tolerance for bad AI” in game development.

Speaking with Variety, Sharma noted that “AI has long been part of gaming and will continue to be,” before adding that “great stories are created by humans.” The interview comes after Sharma promised in an introductory memo: “We will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop.

But what separates “bad AI” and “soulless AI slop” fro…

Now that Apple has started blocking users under 18 in certain regions from downloading apps, the company has introduced new age verification tools.

As of February 24, 2026, users in Australia, Brazil and Singapore won't be able to download apps rated 18+ unless their age is confirmed through "reasonable methods."

Apple noted that any apps distributed in Brazil that are declared to contain loot boxes will be updated to 18+.

For that, developers can employ the company's Declared Age Range API (on iOS, iPadOS and macOS) to get "helpful signals" about a user's age.

In Utah as of May 6, 2026 and Louisiana on July 1, 2026, "age categories will be shared with the developer's app when requested thr…

LG kicked off the year by unveiling a new lineup of gaming monitors, and today the company has priced out the biggest of the bunch.

The UltraGear evo G9 (52G930B) is now available for pre-order, and the massive screen will cost just $2,000.

Yes, you can buy a perfectly excellent gaming monitor for much less, but $2,000 is a surprisingly low price tag for this 52-inch ultrawide monitor with a 1000R curve, which LG is billing as "the world's largest 5K2K gaming monitor."

In addition to its huge size, the G9 can run at a 240Hz refresh rate and offers a 1 millisecond gray-to-gray response rate.

LG has long done solid work on gaming monitors, and the G9 seems like a good choice for anyone who wa…

Apple's plan to add touchscreens to its premium MacBook Pros is coming into focus.

Bloomberg reports that when the new laptops launch this fall, they'll feature a Dynamic Island, not unlike Apple's iPhones, and an interface that changes depending on where you touch your Macbook's screen.

This "dynamic interface" is reportedly designed to make the transition between mouse input and touch input smoother on Apple's new laptops.

Those tweaks are on top of the expected features from touchscreen Apple products, like smooth scrolling and the ability to pinch and zoom into and out of images, files and web pages.

Plenty of Windows laptops include touchscreens, and Microsoft and its partners have inc…

1Password is increasing prices for its individual and family plans.

The individual rate is increasing from nearly $36 a year to $48, while the family option will cost $72 instead of $60.

It's a sizable price hike, but 1Password hasn't been incrementally inching its fees higher every couple years like we see so often for streaming subscriptions.

Even at the higher cost, it's still one of the best options out there for password management.

Fortunately for those on a budget, we have seen 1Password offer pretty substantial discounts on its plans at times, often cutting the rates by as much as half.

Earlier this month, Discord said it would be enacting an age verification policy.

Discord announced today it will delay and make some changes to its plans in response to the ongoing backlash.

The first change is that Discord is postponing the global rollout of its age verification plans until the second half of 2026.

Discord will offer more alternatives to how users can confirm their ages, including verification by credit card.

The company is also promising more transparency about its vendors for these verification services and their practices.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will reportedly give Anthropic until Friday to drop certain guardrails for military use, as reported by Axios .

The outlet also reported that CEO Dario Amodei met with Hegseth yesterday as the Pentagon ratcheted up pressure on the AI company to give in to its demands.

Claude is currently the only AI model employed in some of the government's most sensitive work.

"The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now.

The problem for these guys is they are that good," a defense official told Axios .

Google sent out an AI-generated news alert that included the N-word, according to reporting by Deadline .

The push notification featured a link to a story by The Hollywood Reporter regarding an incident at the recent BAFTA Film Awards.

Google has since apologized and said that it has "removed the offensive notification" and is "working to prevent this from happening again."

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson, who made the comment, said he was "deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intention or to carry any meaning."

The incident has sparked outrage and a renewed discussion on the realities of living with vocal tics.

Three years after announcing plans to produce a film based on the viral YouTube short, The Backrooms (Found Footage) in 2023, A24 has released the first teaser for its adaptation.

Backrooms, as the film is now called, is directed by the short's original creator, Kane Parsons, and will be released on May 29, 2026.

The teaser offers little to go on for anyone who hasn't watched the original short or the series of videos Parsons made after it, but it is replete with The Backrooms' hallmark: ominous liminal spaces.

Parsons' original video is inspired by a creepypasta called "The Backrooms" that originated on the forum 4chan in 2019.

The YouTube series expanded on the basic concept of a liminal …

Waymo had set out some big plans for expanding its autonomous vehicle taxi program across the US in 2025 and it appears to be continuing that pace into 2026.

Today, the company announced that the first public riders can begin using its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Orlando.

To start, these robotaxi rides will only be available for a small number of people with the Waymo app in those cities.

It announced its plans to start testing its vehicles in these four US cities in November.

The company also began a test phase in Miami at that time, and Waymo's robotaxi service began accepting riders in that locale in January.

We're less than a month from the availability of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on PC, and today Sony released the required specs.

Despite designer Hideo Kojima being known for spectacle in his projects, the minimum specs are quite reasonable.

This port of Death Stranding 2 will also boast a few firsts.

This upscaler was made by Guerilla Games and was also used for the Death Stranding sequel on the PlayStation 5.

This option will be available for both PC and the PS5 versions of the game, and an ultrawide monitor won't be required to enable this view option.

A new app will notify users if smart glasses are likely nearby.

The aptly named Nearby Glasses was developed in response to media coverage outlining how glasses like Meta's Ray-Bans have been used to film people without their consent.

As first reported by 404 Media , the app detects the unique Bluetooth signature emitted by smart glasses and sends a push alert that someone wearing the device may potentially be nearby.

Smart glasses have sparked increased privacy concerns , especially as Meta is reportedly working to add facial recognition technology to its Meta Ray-Bans.

OpenAI is also reported to have a pair of smart glasses in the works.

When unfolded, the iPhone Fold is expected to resemble a small tablet like the iPad mini (8.3 inches).

According to Ming-Chi Kuo and multiple Asian supply-chain reports, Apple is testing high-density battery cells in the 5,000 to 5,800mAh range.

Nearly every report agrees that the iPhone Fold will be Apple’s most expensive iPhone ever.

That positions the iPhone Fold well above the iPhone Pro Max and closer to Apple’s high-end Macs and iPads.

Apple hasn’t confirmed the name “iPhone Fold,” final dimensions, software features or how iOS would adapt to a folding form factor.

If you were watching the State of the Union address, and you’re an iPhone user, then toward the end of the speech, during President Trump’s recounting of the story of Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover, you might have had Siri triggered—assuming you have voice activation turned on.

Rumors of a touchscreen MacBook Pro have been circulating for over three years, and they’ve always left customers full of questions.

At any rate, Gurman’s anonymous sources do indeed say a touchscreen MacBook Pro is coming later this year.

However, the basic look won’t change drastically from current MacBooks.

Gurman writes that Liquid Glass seeded small changes that will smooth the transition to a touchscreen MacBook Pro, including control center sliders that have been made friendlier to touch input, and “more padding” aro…

I’m talking about Honor’s “Robot Phone.”Other than a few images that leaked around CES 2026, there’s not really much information on Honor’s Robot Phone.

Presumably using AI and some kind of computer vision, the Honor Robot Phone can “see” and “hear” a user, tilting and fidgeting as if it’s some kind of robot companion.

Can we talk about the Honor Robot Phone?

Lisa Dejardins, a correspondent for PBS NewsHour, wrote on X that the speech is going to be a long one.

“SOTU to be *over 2 hours long*, several reliable Republican sources tell me they have been told.

If Trump broke two hours, it would easily be the longest State of the Union address in history.

Exercise cautionWe can’t tell you how long President Trump’s speech is going to last tonight.

It seems pretty clear that Trump and whoever is talking to reporters behind the scenes wants the public to believe this is going to be a historically long speech.

It didn’t take long for Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster to decide to make Contact.

“[Sagan] was an extraordinary man, and his legacy continues in everything we do,” Foster continued.

“I think the idea behind Ellie Arroway that Zemeckis had was that she was an explorer,” Foster said.

In the film, Ellie hears a message sent from deep space, which then sets off a whole chain of events.

“We get a lot wrong in the movie,” Foster admitted.

Just when you’d begun to accept a future where your favorite Warner Bros. titles would start popping up on Netflix, Paramount has deployed a fresh attempt to take control of the deal.

And this time, the price it’s dangling is so high, Warner Bros. has actually decided to entertain the offer.

Now, it seems that Paramount’s persistence—which has grown more intense as Warner Bros. inched closer to finalizing things with Netflix—may have a glimmer of a chance at paying off.

As Deadline reports, the Warner Bros. Board of Directors has just announced that Paramount Skydance’s new bid could potentially lead to a “Company Superior Proposal,” according to terms outlined in Warner Bros. Discovery…

Meta is moving forward with stablecoin payments across its apps, according to a report from CoinDesk.

This effort follows Meta’s infamous attempt at building its own digital currency roughly seven years ago.

According to a previous Financial Times report, Federal Reserve officials applied direct pressure on those involved with Meta’s digital currency initiative.

David Marcus, who headed the Libra and Diem teams at Meta, reached his own conclusions from the episode.

That said, a stablecoin issued by a Trump-affiliated crypto venture is also at the center of “unprecedented corruption” allegations levied at the current president.

Previously, Trump’s AI Czar, David Sacks, took specific aim at Anthropic for its public support of regulatory frameworks for AI models.

But the showdown with Hegseth has stemmed from the Department of Defense’s desire to integrate Anthropic’s Claude into all parts of the military’s operations despite the company’s objections.

The stalemate has reportedly led to Hegseth offering something of an ultimatum: either comply with the Department of Defense’s demands or face the consequences.

“Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with Secretary Hegseth at the Pentagon this morning.

Even after the Pentagon reportedly used Claude in its raid that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro,…

Martin’s original story, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ season one finale suggested the Targaryens might soon launch another search party on Egg’s behalf.

Choosing to go with Dunk was the best decision Egg could have made, Spruell continued.

He’s not in “The Sworn Sword,” Martin’s next story in the series.

After killing his brother Baelor—the heir to the Iron Throne—amid Dunk’s Trial of Seven, Maekar moved a notch up the line of succession.

Maekar does eventually make it to the Iron Throne when he’s the last recognized heir standing after Aerys’ 12-year reign ends.

It’s been a topsy-turvy week for Novo Nordisk, makers of the popular weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy.

Novo Nordisk is developing UBT251 in conjunction with the Chinese company United Laboratories International Holdings Limited (TUL).

Over a 24-week span, all three treatment groups lost substantially more weight than the placebo group (2% weight on average).

Novo Nordisk’s lifelineThese latest results are a sorely needed win for Novo Nordisk.

Unsurprisingly, following the release of the results, Novo Nordisk’s stock prices took a sharp drop.

But military officials are warning the continent is already too dependent on American firms to cut ties overnight, the Financial Times reports.

“It’s not realistic or helpful,” an unnamed European military official told the FT about tech sovereignty talks.

“Most of our European platforms are relying on American back-end . . . so it’s very difficult to see anything happening in the short-term.

Military officials argue that potential laws that restrict the use of American technology could inadvertently weaken the continent’s security, according to the newspaper.

The push is driven by concerns that the Trump administration could theoretically disable critical tech systems w…

JBL makes a mean Bluetooth speaker, and the brand's Flip series has been my all-time favorite for multiple generations.

I love this speaker and its nearly indestructible design, and now it's finally getting some good sales.

Right now, you'll find it for $50 off its $150 retail price, the lowest we've seen it yet.

Auracast is still new, but it's an extremely promising technology, and currently lets you connect the Flip 7 with other JBL Auracast speakers in tandem.

Like virtually any Bluetooth speaker, it will still distort if you push it too hard, but I clocked it at over 75 dB in my review without any audible issues.

Javier (who is 27) and his father, Elías (64), cannot remember the last time they walked hand in hand.

They haven’t showered in over a day and their house hasn’t had electricity for more than 16 hours.

The power outage coincided with the day when the aqueduct pumps water into this area, so the neighborhood’s water tanks are also empty.

To cook their meal, they built a makeshift charcoal stove on the roof, using stones and wood boards; gas tanks haven’t been refilled in this municipality for a month.

(Their participation in the reserves takes place on weekends: Javier works in tourism, and Elías is retired.)

They're called the Blood Falls, and since their discovery in 1911 by geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor, they've fueled a century of scientific speculation.

The Science Behind the Blood FallsAt the time of their discovery, Taylor attributed the color to the presence of red microalgae.

The New DiscoveryWith the temperature puzzle solved, the question remained as to what physically drove the fluid to erupt.

The analysis demonstrated that the Blood Falls are the result of pressure variations affecting the brine deposits beneath the glacier.

With this discovery, the mysteries of the Blood Falls should finally have been solved, at least for now.

Now, the next evolution is an exhaustively engineered single-use detergent called Tide Evo Tiles—a dry, fibery, single-use tile that can dissolve in cold water.

It looks a lot less tasty than the bright, colorful Tide Pods, so hopefully, fewer people will try to eat this one.

Tide Evo Tiles have been in product development for over a decade.

Evo Tiles have a small ridge around the edges that makes them easier to pull out of the box.

(Because of the high pH, Tide Evo does not use lipase, an enzyme that breaks down stains and is a popular ingredient in other detergents.)

The big draw of 2-in-1 laptops is that they can be used as both a laptop and a tablet.

While in laptop mode, they’re generally comparable to any other clamshell laptop you’ll find.

But if you don't, these 2-in-1 laptops can give you the functionality of both devices in one—hence, the name.

Beyond that, convertible laptops use 360-degree hinges to offer even more capabilities, such as flipping the laptop upside down in various modes.

You can consider its 2-in-1 capabilities to be a nice bonus on top of its already stellar performance and features.

OpenAI won a victory Tuesday in one of its legal battles with xAI, which involved allegations of poaching and theft of trade secrets. The former company's motion to dismiss the lawsuit was granted on Tuesday with leave to amend, meaning xAI has the option to refile with modified claims. In the ruling, US District Judge […]

Age verification is a reality on a growing number of social media platforms, requiring an ID or facial scan for full access to everything from YouTube to Roblox. The age-gating wave is coming along with calls for stronger child safety measures online, despite concerns about privacy, security, and censorship. In the US, lawmakers are pushing […]

Discord won't roll out age verification globally on its platform next month as previously announced, and says in a blog post that it's delaying the launch until the second half of 2026. "The way this landed, many of you walked away thinking we're requiring face scans and ID uploads from everyone just to use Discord. […]

Claude Code has become increasingly popular in the first year since its launch, and especially in recent months, as developers and non-technical users alike flock to AI unicorn Anthropic's hit coding agent to create full applications and websites in days, on their own, that would've taken months and technical teams without. It's not a stretch to say it helped spur the "vibe coding" boom — using plain English instead of programming languages to write software.But it's all been restricted to the desktop Claude Code apps and Terminal command-line interfaces and integrated development environments (IDEs) — until today. Now, Anthropic has added a new mode, Remote Control, that lets users issue c…

Anthropic opened its virtual "Briefing: Enterprise Agents" event on Tuesday with a provocation. Kate Jensen, the company's head of Americas, told viewers that the hype around enterprise AI agents in 2025 "turned out to be mostly premature," with many pilots failing to reach production. "It wasn't a failure of effort, it was a failure of approach, and it's something we heard directly from our customers," Jensen said.The implicit promise: Anthropic has figured out the right approach, and it starts with the playbook that made Claude Code one of the most consequential developer tools of the past year. "In 2025 Claude transformed how developers work, and in 2026 it will do the same for knowledge…

Web Search has already been disrupted by AI — just take a look at how readily Google is presenting users with AI Overviews (summaries of search results) at the top of their results pages, how Bing early on integrated OpenAI's GPT models, and how Perplexity continues to build on its own AI-driven web search platform and browsers. Nimble announced the launch of its Agentic Search Platform, a system designed to transform the public web into trusted, decision-grade data for AI systems and business workflows. The launch is supported by $47 million in Series B financing led by Norwest, with participation from Databricks Ventures and others, bringing the company's total funding to $75 million.The …

On Tuesday, Anthropic published tools that let Claude read, analyze and translate legacy COBOL into modern languages like Java and Python. By the end of the trading day, investors had wiped roughly $40 billion from IBM's market cap — the company's biggest single-day drop in 25 years — pricing the announcement as an existential threat to IBM's mainframe business.The reaction was swift. It was also built on a fundamental misreading of why enterprises run mainframes in the first place.IBM's COBOL is 66 years old. It was designed in 1959, runs on IBM mainframes, and continues to power transaction processing systems with an estimated 250 billion lines of COBOL in active production, according to …

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the distance between a developer’s idea and a functioning agent has historically been measured in hours of configuration, dependency conflicts, and terminal-induced headaches. That friction point changed today. Kilo, the AI infrastructure startup backed by GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij, has announced the general availability of KiloClaw, a fully managed service designed to deploy a production-ready OpenClaw agent in under 60 seconds.By eliminating the “SSH, Docker, and YAML” barriers that have gatekept high-end AI agents, Kilo is betting that the next phase of software development—often called "vibe coding"—will be defined not…

Presented by Salesforce Smarsh, a global provider of cloud-native, AI-driven solutions that capture, archive, and analyze communications data and intelligence for highly regulated industries, set an ambitious goal: use AI to scale its workforce and increase productivity by 30%. But its customer service team had already identified the real challenge — customers were navigating a maze of products, documentation, and compliance requirements.The solution wasn’t just more automation. It was a single, intelligent entry point into support."At the team level we asked ourselves, how can we become a better support organization for our regulated industry customers given that we keep on acquiring compa…

Google caused controversy among some developers this weekend and today, Monday, February 23rd, after restricting their usage of its new Antigravity "vibe coding" platform, alleging "maliciously usage." Some users who had been using the open source autonomous AI agent OpenClaw in conjunction with agents built on Antigravity, as well as those who had connected OpenClaw agents to their Gmails, claimed on social media that they lost access to their Google accounts. According to Google, said users had been using Antigravity to access a larger number of Gemini tokens via third-party platforms like OpenClaw, which overwhelmed the system for other Antigravity customers. This move has cut off severa…

Every engineering leader watching the agentic coding wave is eventually going to face the same question: if AI can generate production-quality code faster than any team, what does governance look like when the human isn't writing the code anymore?Most teams don't have a good answer yet. Treasure Data, a SoftBank-backed customer data platform serving more than 450 global brands, now has one, though they learned parts of it the hard way.The company today officially announced Treasure Code, a new AI-native command-line interface that lets data engineers and platform teams operate its full CDP through natural language, with Claude Code handling creation and iteration underneath. It was built by…

As agentic AI workflows multiply the cost and latency of long reasoning chains, a team from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, Columbia University and TogetherAI has found a way to bake 3x throughput gains directly into a model's weights.Unlike speculative decoding, which requires a separate drafting model, this approach requires no additional infrastructure — just a single special token added to the model's existing architecture.The limits of next-token predictionNext-token prediction — generating text one token per forward pass — creates a throughput ceiling that becomes painfully expensive when models need to produce thousands of tokens. This bottleneck is espe…

Anthropic pointed its most advanced AI model, Claude Opus 4.6, at production open-source codebases and found a plethora of security holes: more than 500 high-severity vulnerabilities that had survived decades of expert review and millions of hours of fuzzing, with each candidate vetted through internal and external security review before disclosure. Fifteen days later, the company productized the capability and launched Claude Code Security.Security directors responsible for seven-figure vulnerability management stacks should expect a common question from their boards in the next review cycle. VentureBeat anticipates the emails and conversations will start with, "How do we add reasoning-bas…

Anthropic dropped a bombshell on the artificial intelligence industry Monday, publicly accusing three prominent Chinese AI laboratories — DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax — of orchestrating coordinated, industrial-scale campaigns to siphon capabilities from its Claude models using tens of thousands of fraudulent accounts.The San Francisco-based company said the three labs collectively generated more than 16 million exchanges with Claude through approximately 24,000 fake accounts, all in violation of Anthropic's terms of service and regional access restrictions. The campaigns, Anthropic said, are the most concrete and detailed public evidence to date of a practice that has haunted Silicon …

Presented by DigitalOceanFrom refactoring codebases to debugging production code, AI agents are already proving their value. But scaling them in production remains the exception, not the rule. In DigitalOcean’s 2026 Currents research report, based on a survey of more than 1,100 developers, CTOs, and founders, 67% of organizations using agents report productivity gains. Meanwhile, 60% of respondents say applications and agents represent the greatest long-term value in the AI stack. Yet, only 10% are scaling agents in production. The top blocker? Forty-nine percent cite the high cost of inference. It's not just the price of a single API call. It's the compounding cost as agents chain tasks an…

Traditional software governance often uses static compliance checklists, quarterly audits and after-the-fact reviews. But this method can't keep up with AI systems that change in real time. A machine learning (ML) model might retrain or drift between quarterly operational syncs. This means that, by the time an issue is discovered, hundreds of bad decisions could already have been made. This can be almost impossible to untangle. In the fast-paced world of AI, governance must be inline, not an after-the-fact compliance review. In other words, organizations must adopt what I call an “audit loop": A continuous, integrated compliance process that operates in real-time alongside AI development an…

OpenClaw, the open source AI agent that excels at autonomous tasks on computers and which users can communicate with through popular messaging apps, has undoubtedly become a phenomena since its launch in November 2025, and especially in the last few months.Lured by the promise of greater business automation, solopreneurs and employees of large enterprises are increasingly installing it on their work machines — despite a number of documented security risks.Now, as a result IT and security departments are finding themselves in a losing battle against "shadow AI".But New York City-based enterprise AI startup Runlayer thinks it has a solution: earlier this month, it launched "OpenClaw for Enter…

For four weeks starting January 21, Microsoft's Copilot read and summarized confidential emails despite every sensitivity label and DLP policy telling it not to. The enforcement points broke inside Microsoft’s own pipeline, and no security tool in the stack flagged it. Among the affected organizations was the U.K.'s National Health Service, which logged it as INC46740412 — a signal of how far the failure reached into regulated healthcare environments. Microsoft tracked it as CW1226324. The advisory, first reported by BleepingComputer on February 18, marks the second time in eight months that Copilot’s retrieval pipeline violated its own trust boundary — a failure in which an AI system acces…

Plasma meets PCLinuxOSWhen you install a distribution that uses the KDE Plasma desktop, you typically know what you're getting; there'll be a panel, desktop menu, desktop launchers, and more.

It's a rare occasion that a distribution can surprise you with KDE Plasma.

Although it's a fairly straightforward take on KDE Plasma, there's still a hint of the old PCLinuxOS to be had.

The Control Center is in addition to the KDE Plasma Settings app.

One nice surprise with this is that the Control Center even allows you to add new Samba users right from the GUI (something other distributions do not do).

The changes are part of implementing the Media Act 2024 and mark one of the most significant shifts in how online streaming services are governed in the UK.

Streaming services have overtaken broadcast TV as the dominant way people consume video entertainment in the UK, with research showing that a large majority of households now subscribe to at least one major streaming platform.

The shift to extend similar rules to VoD services reflects how viewing habits have changed and aims to close a regulatory gap.

Until now, many of the biggest streaming platforms were either unregulated in the UK or faced only limited oversight.

The changes come as the broader regulatory framework for UK media is b…

VoiceLine, a Munich-based startup that builds voice-first artificial intelligence for enterprise frontline workers, has closed €10 million in Series A funding to accelerate growth, expand its product and bring its technology to more customers across Europe and beyond.

The fresh capital will help VoiceLine grow its team, invest in product development and support its international expansion.

Nowadays, for frontline teams, administrative tasks often lag behind the customer interactions that generate them.

Nicolas Höflinger, co-founder and CEO of VoiceLine, said the funding milestone will help the startup scale its operations and make enterprise-grade voice AI more accessible to organisations w…

The alliances cover both strategy and operational execution; from planning AI adoption to integrating Frontier with core systems and training internal teams.

The Frontier Alliances are meant to bridge that gap.

Enterprises have spent recent years experimenting with generative AI tools, but many have yet to turn early pilots into sustained production use.

Competition in enterprise AI services remains intense.

For OpenAI, the Frontier Alliances are a way to leverage trusted business networks and implementation experience, giving its platform a stronger path into large-scale deployment.

In 2026, one of Europe’s most ambitious scientific ventures, Horizon Europe, a seven-year, roughly €93 billion framework dedicated to research and innovation, underwent a quiet but significant transformation.

In late 2025, the Commission codified conditions that essentially block Chinese institutions from receiving core Horizon Europe grants in sensitive clusters of research and innovation.

Yet in the architecture of Horizon Europe that emerges in 2026, participation is no longer synonymous with access to EU funds.

What has changed is the weight of strategic calculation in decisions about where and how to invest EU funding.

Or does it risk isolating European science from talent and knowledg…

But one of the hardest parts of teaching machines to improve isn’t raw computing power, it’s human insight at scale.

That’s why many advanced models are trained with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), where people judge outputs and rate responses to shape the model’s behaviour.

Instead of static pools of annotators or traditional data labeling services, Rapidata’s platform gives teams on-demand access to human insight everywhere.

As models become more capable, contextual human insight determines whether those capabilities are useful, safe, and aligned with real-world expectations.

With fresh capital in hand, Rapidata plans to accelerate growth of its human feedback network, …

Google’s announcement that its Gemini app now writes music for you isn’t just one of those “blowing my mind” product updates.

Still, the underlying problem is another one, as I am seeing different projects/songs made with AI, including AI artists.

If we take a look at the history ( art, music, literature, poetry, and so on), the main fuel for creation was indeed pain.

Just because you pay a subscription to Suno, that’s another AI music generator, and that one is more complex, that doesn’t make you an artist or a singer.

Plato, a Berlin-based startup, has raised $14.5 million in seed funding to bring generative AI into wholesale distribution, a massive industry that rarely makes tech headlines but quietly moves a significant share of the world’s goods.

The round was led by Atomico, with Cherry Ventures, Discovery Ventures, and D11Z joining in.

Wholesale distribution accounts for roughly one-fifth of global production flows.

While AI has flooded marketing, customer support, and coding, distribution sales teams are often still copy-pasting numbers between systems.

Wholesale distribution may not be glamorous, but it is structurally essential.

From props to protagonistsJust last year, robot appearances were charming but clunky: think awkward “dances” that needed human help to keep upright.

Clips of the robots went viral almost immediately, flooding social platforms and dominating international tech feeds.

Chinese state media and commentators have leaned into the moment as proof of rapid progress in humanoid robotics, placing it squarely within China’s “AI+manufacturing” industrial ambitions.

Despite impressive stage routines, robotics experts point out that most current humanoids are still best at pre-programmed movements and lack true autonomous adaptability in unpredictable environments.

A Paris-based venture firm that has quietly shaped the quantum technology scenery is now making a much louder statement about Europe’s role in the future of computing, materials science, and sensing.

The portfolio already spans quantum computing hardware, advanced materials, sensing systems, and even components aimed at preparing infrastructure for widespread quantum deployment.

Despite this progress, Europe still trails the U.S. and China in private investment scale for quantum technologies, where large funding pools have helped local startups rapidly expand and commercialize.

But investors and industry leaders increasingly see the future as one where quantum systems must integrate into re…

Apple’s major MacBook Pro refresh is coming this year, and it’s shaping up to be exactly what I wanted.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro interactionsAdditionally, today’s reporting gives me confidence that Apple isn’t just slapping a touchscreen on the MacBook Pro and calling it a day.

According to a new filing with the European Union, Apple has acquired the assets of invrs.io and hired its founder, who is the only employee.

It is not immediately clear what Apple plans to do with these tools or how Schubert will be deployed internally.

Photonics (which is the science of designing components that manipulate light) is relevant to a wide range of Apple products, including camera systems, displays, sensors, and LiDAR scanners.

Invrs.io’s tools, which seemingly use AI to simulate and optimize how light behaves in complex structures, could help Apple design such components for future iPhones, iPads, Apple Vision Pro models, and upcoming unannounced products.

Apple has its first touchscreen-equipped Mac coming later this year: the M6 MacBook Pro.

First, Gurman says that the iPhone’s Dynamic Island feature is coming to the next-gen MacBook Pro.

The Dynamic Island on the Mac will be built around a hole-punch-sized cutout for the computer’s camera.

But even with a small hole-punch, the software will make the cutout blend seamlessly by adding a Dynamic Island UI.

Apple is rolling out new age assurance tools for developers in regions including Brazil, Australia, Singapore, and parts of the US, as new App Store restrictions for 18+ apps take effect in select markets.

Updates to the Declared Age Range API are now available in beta for testing.

The company says that while the App Store will perform this check automatically, developers may also need to “confirm that their users are adults,” with the updated Declared Age Range API providing helpful age signals.

Specifically in Brazil, developers using the Declared Age Range API will be able to obtain a user’s age group when the user (or a parent or guardian, where applicable) agrees to share it.

As for Ut…

Discord’s controversial age verification saga has reached a new turning point.

Discord announces big changes and delay to age verification requirementEarlier this month, Discord faced significant pushback from its users after announcing plans for a global age verification rollout.

For example, it emphasized that many users never access the kind of adult-only spaces that would require age verification.

Per the post, age verification will no longer be required in March.

We’ll document every verification vendor and their practices on our website, and make it clear in the product who each vendor is.

Now, two of the people behind the work are revealing new details about the intricate design process required to bring these virtual spaces to life.

To ensure the scale and “feel” were correct, they designed the environments while wearing the Vision Pro itself.

Earlier this year, Apple officially confirmed that JP Morgan Chase will take over Apple Card from Goldman Sachs.

In new comments this week, Chase revealed why it thinks it will fare better at managing Apple Card than Goldman Sachs.

The latest on Apple Card + ChaseAs we’ve explained before, Goldman Sachs lost billions of dollars on its Apple Card business.

There are several reasons for this, including that Apple Card is a no-fee card with a consumer-friendly software interface.

The primary reason for the losses, however, is that Apple Card has a dramatically higher subprime borrower rate than most credit cards.

Thanks to USB-C and fast charging, many modern power banks can now deliver up to 140W, rivaling wall chargers in both power and efficiency while still being portable enough to carry in a bag.

The built-in cable supports the complete 140W fast charging, so you do not even need to remember to bring a cable with you.

Alogic is known for its monitors, hubs, and desk peripherals, but it is also in the portable charging game.

It also gives you a USB-A port, which is something that the EcoFlow power bank does not have.

It also has an additional USB-C port and a USB-A port.
