Это один из первых шагов к созданию дата-центра на орбите Земли.

Собираем новости, события и мнения о рынках, банках и реакциях компаний.

Компания решила «изолировать» затронутую партию.

Рассказываем, что это за алгоритм и как он управляет портфелем.

До этого трекер был совместим только со смартфонами от Samsung.

Собираем аппаратную частьПо документации микроконтроллеры AT32F4xx выглядели достаточно привлекательно, и с ними хотелось повозиться, чтобы разобраться с этим на практике.

Данный цикл публикаций состоит из четырёх частей:Составное устройство USB на AT32.

Часть 1: Подготовка <--- Вы тутСоставное устройство USB на AT32.

Между ними находится сеть, которая берёт две одинаковые вещи и на некоторое время убеждает нас, что они разные.

Например игроку с 500 миллисекундами пинга не дать такие же условия, что и игроку с 20?

Если в игре 32 игрока на каждом выстреле мы должны перематывать всех 32, и сервер занимается этим при каждом выстреле.

А вот тут начинается тот класс проблем, который показывает, насколько всё это на самом деле связано не только с сетью.

Есть ещё один маленький edge case, когда игрок выстрелил, потом пакет полетел на сервер.

Ну и что, что в нём используется дефектный мастер Paramount с замершим зерном и кучей других проблем".

И Дрейпер, и Флауэр называют DVD-релиз 2004 года и появление сообществ наподобие OriginalTrilogy.com самыми важными причинами их прихода в мир фанатского архивирования фильмов.

Однако его мысль быстро меняет направление: «Всех нас беспокоит, что в любой момент может начаться юридическое преследование.

Так как лейблы наподобие Arrow, Criterion и Eureka релизят десятки фильмов в год, их исследователи вынуждены скакать по верхам.

Но если присмотреться, это рассуждение дает только нижнюю границу: больше 40 кГц и с каким-нибудь запасом.

В американском NTSC в кадре 525 строк и 30 кадров в секунду, то есть 60 полей по 262,5 строки.

Обе системы отдают под звук ровно одинаковое число строк в секунду, и после умножения на три отсчета получается одна и та же частота, 44 100 Гц, которая одинаково ложится и на американскую, и на европейскую видеотехнику.

На четвертой встрече в Токио, 18 и 19 марта 1980 года, Philips согласилась и на 16 бит, и на 44,1 кГц.

Удобство запоминания тут действительно сыграло роль, просто выбирать приходилось между двумя видеочастотами, и в такой паре 44,1 выигрывает без вариантов.

Одним из открытий стали сборники сразу из нескольких игр на одной кассете, дискете или картридже, и сопутствующая им техническая возможность выбора, во что играть.

В том числе это сделала компания Amstrad, купившая права на ZX Spectrum, и в 1987 году выпустившая модель +3 со своим проприетарным трёхдюймовым (ровно, без половины) дисководом.

На ZX Spectrum ситуация была интереснее: роль «бута» выполняли программы нескольких разных категорий.

Сборники игр на дискетах на этих машинах были редкими гостями, и содержали пару игр.

Диски этой серии попадали в руки практически каждого начинающего пользователя ПК тех лет, в том числе и в мои.

Для микроконтроллера RP2040 вывести “Hello world” проще, чем для микроконтроллеров STM32, пишешь printf("Hello, world!

Моя отладочная плата на базе STM32H750VBT6Как и для любых других микроконтроллеров, кроме самого микроконтроллера, для разработки под STM32 необходимы:Кросс-тулчейн.

Многие IDE для STM32 не содержат встроенной поддержки СMSIS-DAP, но если установить сервер отладки OpenOCD, то теоретически можно прошить и отладить код для STM32.

while (1) { /* USER CODE END WHILE */ /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */ printf("Hello World from Semihosting!

Именно поэтому Hello World для STM32 — хороший учебный пример.

Во-первых, она не информативна, потому что не понятна её связь со ссылкой.

Если у вас в компании или на личной машине развернута локальная LLM, которая точно не передаст все ваши конфиденциальные данные злоумышленникам, то вы также можете подключить ее в OpenCode.

Поэтому на этом шаге вы можете подключить любую удобную модель или даже использовать встроенные, коротким сообщением проверив, что агент отвечает и не выдает ошибку.

Код — тоже источник контекстаОдин из самых полезных сценариев работы с OpenCode лично для меня — возможность изучить реальную кодовую базу перед ответом.

Только так возможно создать безопасный контур для работы агента и не попасть на радар бдительных коллег из отдела ИБ.

Сьюзен Кэлвин появляется не в одном и не в двух рассказах Азимова и выполняет ровно ту функцию, на которой автор строил свои книги.

Он двигался по программе ещё около получаса, пока коллеги не хватились Уильямса и не нашли тело.

А в реальной робототехнике никакого готового разума нет — и «не навреди человеку» упирается не в этику, а в задачу технического зрения.

К вопросу о том, кто в реальном мире отвечает за первый закон: не робот и, как выяснилось, даже не его производитель.

Они не «не работают».

Это хорошая иллюстрация того, что проблема не в ИИ, а в том, что за результат отвечал человек, который не мог его (результат) проверить.

Потом выяснилось, что в промпте главное контекст, и в моду вошла контекст‑инженерия.

Ответа обычно нет, ведь абляций никто не делает, потому что на это нет времени: все несутся с горы на велосипедах.

Дальше идет проблема общего контекста: агенты, которые работают параллельно и не знают решений друг друга, принимают несовместимые допущения.

И это, пожалуй, хорошая новость: значит, у нас есть время докрутить все то, о чем говорилось выше.

Значит, искать проблему нужно было не в сети и не в службе SSH целиком, а в конкретной директории.

Шифрование создавало заметную вычислительную нагрузку и в этом сценарии упиралось в производительность одного ядра.

Главный совет: ровная полка на графике указывает на наличие предела, но не на конкретный компонент.

Самая ценная часть кейса связана не с конкретным параметром ядра, а с методом расследования:Воспроизвести настоящий профиль нагрузки.

Команда лишилась рабочего сервера, через который можно было продолжить обслуживание и сравнить состояние системы до и после обновления.

TL;DR: Мы портировали игровую логику и рендерер первого Doom на SQL и запустили его внутри базы данных.

К сожалению, алгоритм рендеринга Doom не так хорошо переносится SQL, потому что высокоимперативен: Doom имеет два массива, ceilingclip и floorclip , хранящие по одной записи на столбец экрана.

Это делается и для потолков, и для полов.

И не поймите меня неверно: примитивный рейкастинг DOOMQL великолепен, его гораздо проще сформулировать на SQL, а между этапами не так много зависимостей, поэтому он гораздо лучше подходит для обработки SQL на основе множеств.

А если вам покажется, что возни слишком много, то можете просто присоединиться к матчу на публичном инстансе:SQLDoom на EU-серверахSQL…

Смотришь на страницу устройства в вики OpenWrt, а там написано, что EX220 v1 поддерживается.

Это история о том, как я это обнаружил, портировал OpenWrt на неподходящую ревизию и отправил поддержку в официальный репозиторий.

Две платы под одной наклейкойПоддерживаемый в OpenWrt EX220 v1 — это по сути Archer AX23: MT7621, 16 МБ SPI‑NOR флеша.

Проверять результат я стал по контрольной сумме EEPROM, которую драйвер реально загрузил ( /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy*/mt76/eeprom ), а не по наличию файла.

Когда патч примут, EX220 от МТС можно будет прошить официальным образом из OpenWrt, и у тысяч людей провайдерская коробка в шкафу превратится в нормальный роутер с Wi‑Fi 6.

Значит, дело все‑таки было не в проводах, а в технологии.

То есть цифровой сигнал нам не то что не помогает, а еще и мешает.

Отсюда и картина: один и тот же модем в столице показывает 48k, а в областном городе с тем же провайдером — 26k.

Поэтому первая нота после набора номера и не звучит как идеально ровный чистый писк: если прислушаться, она действительно немного «дрожит».

Работает это так: у абонента ставят сплиттер, который разделяет все ниже 4 кГц и все, что выше.

Снова полез в драйвер NVIDIAК счастью, значительную часть модулей ядра NVIDIA под Linux сейчас можно изучать в исходниках.

Значит, вопрос уже не «почему P2P не работает», а «почему рабочий P2P передает данные со скоростью 0,25 ГБ/с».

Буферы совпадали, ошибок доступа не было, драйвер не выдавал ошибок, а скорость была стабильно плохой, а не случайной.

Значит, пора было посмотреть не на саму видеокарту, а на то, что происходит с адресами PCIe‑устройств уже на стороне процессора.

Возможность включения P2P я в итоге добавил и в свою утилиту CMP90HX PWNER.

Некий Линь из Сингапура решил приколоться над коллегой и отправил ему картинку с крокодилом в водохранилище Пандан.

Но шутка вышла из-под контроля, и теперь мужика судят за фейкньюс.

Агентство поставило на стоп всю водную активность в этом районе и два дня искало несуществующего крокодила, задействовав сотрудников национального парка.

После того как шумиха улеглась, фото признали нейрослопом, а полиция вышла на Линя.

Его обвиняют в передаче ложной информации: за это преступление могут или посадить на 10 лет, или оштрафовать на $7800.

И обещал увеличить её ещё сильнее, ведь в будущем стоимость памяти продолжит расти.

Это в 3,5 раза больше, чем за аналогичный период прошлого года.

А клиенты будут вынуждены платить за память ещё больше, чем раньше.

Новые заводы появятся у Micron только в 2028 году, но мгновенно дефицит они не устранят.

Так что спрос ещё долго будет выше предложения, а память продолжит дорожать.

Компания обновила мини-ПК Framework Desktop, установив в него флагманский чип AMD Gorgon Halo с 16 процессорными ядрами Zen 5 и аж 40 ядрами графики RDNA 3.5.

В первую очередь устройство предназначено для работы с ИИ: новинка получила 192 ГБ объединённой памяти и умеет собираться в кластеры из нескольких компьютеров, но для гейминга в 1440р тоже сгодится.

Тут стоит проговорить сразу: по производительности Framework Desktop будет ощутимо слабее Mac Studio на M5 Ultra, но в мире Windows и Linux это абсолютно уникальное устройство с точки зрения ремонтопригодности и энергоэффективности — новый чип в нагрузке потребляет всего 120 Вт.

Цена за компьютер начинается от $6800, или примерно 565 000 р…

Флагманская модель получила кодовое название Argon и научилась ещё эффективнее кодить, строить финансовые модели и разбираться в юриспруденции.

Но самое главное, модель теперь умеет в автономном режиме детектить, тестировать и устранять критические уязвимости в программном обеспечении, что делает её супероружием как для поддержки кибербезопасности, так и для создания киберугроз.

Компания уверяет, что в отдельных сценариях Gemini 4 превосходит флагманские GPT-6 Astra и Claude Fable 5.1.

Впрочем, кому попало воспользоваться силой интеллекта Gemini 4 не выйдет: по словам Google, модель настолько умная и опасная, что доступ к ней выдадут только проверенным специалистам по кибербезопасности.

HUAWEI в Китае провела свою главную презентацию осени, где была представлена линейка смартфонов Mate 90.

И это очень хорошо!

Грубо говоря, 24 мм в смартфоне — это кнопка 1×, а 240 мм — 10×.

Затемнение — единственное, что не очень хорошо будет происходить с картинкой.

Правда, всего два смартфона, поддерживающих Z10: HUAWEI Mate 90 Pro Max Collector’s Edition и HUAWEI Mate 90 RS, их цена варьируется от 11 тысяч до 19 тысяч юаней (137−236 тысяч рублей).

Они крепятся напрямую на ухо и не закрывают ушной канал, позволяя отчётливо считывать окружающую обстановку во время пробежек по городу.

Во-первых, наушники открытого типа звучат хуже классических эйрподсов и плохо передают низкие частоты: Samsung обещает забороть эту проблему при помощи технологии TwinBoost, усиливающей бас.

Во-вторых, звук с открытых наушников слышите не только вы, но и, например, сидящие рядом люди в общественном транспорте.

Galaxy Buds On будут поставляться со стильным полупрозрачным зарядным кейсом, а одного заряда аккумулятора должно хватить аж на девять с половиной часов непрерывного прослушивания музыки.

На родине Samsung за наушники просят 300 тысяч вон, или пример…

Рассчитаться за продукты теперь можно, приложив палец к терминалу.

Фишка работает без интернета и доступна на тех же терминалах, об которые можно сделать «Вжух» телефоном, — сообщает пресс-служба компании.

«Сбер» с самого начала позиционировал своё кольцо как фитнес-трекер, так что с появлением бесконтактной оплаты стало совсем хорошо: можно выйти с колечком на пробежку, оставив телефон с кошельком дома, и на обратном пути заскочить в магазин за продуктами.

Чтобы исключить ложные срабатывания, разработчики предусмотрели специальный жест: сначала нужно тапнуть по метке на кольце два раза, а уже затем поднести его к терминалу для оплаты.

Чтобы активировать режим бесконтактной оплаты, придётся…

Меньше месяца прошло с выпуска в продажу умной зубной щётки с камерой CameraJet.

К сожалению, первые покупатели столкнулись с тем, что пользоваться ей невозможно.

Инженеры компании впихнули и камеру, и Wi-Fi, и трансляцию видео на смартфон и даже ИИ прикрутили для раздачи советов.

Только забыли убедиться, что отсек с батареей не пропускает воду.

Люди пытались почистить зубы, а техника за $500 ломалась в первые же секунды.

Предположу, что это устройство будет похожим на Google Pixel Tab с базой, но только не отделяемым от этой самой базы.

Марк Гурман из Bloomberg говорит, что хаб можно будет использовать и для управления устройствами умного дома: термостатами, дверными замками и другими устройствами, подключёнными к Apple Home Kit.

ДизайнМарк Гурман из Bloomberg утверждает, что в итоге будет выпущено две версии.

Кнопок не будет, но к этому мы привыкли: их нет ни на Apple TV, ни на HomePod (хотя тут сенсорная поверхность есть).

Вряд ли вместе с релизом хаба умного дома Apple выпустит и голосовую LLM для полноценной работы Siri AI.

Ведомство представило третий пакет мер по борьбе с мошенниками.

Также нельзя продавать SIM-карты, которые уже оформлены на других абонентов.

Сотрудники iFixit, вскрывавшие новинку во имя просмотров, грели кейс феном, пилили его, тихонько матерились, пытались как-то что-то поддеть и снова матерились, получив случайную колотую рану.

Apple была настолько уверена, что зарядный кейс никто не захочет вскрывать, что вместо винтиков посадила аккумулятор на плавленный пластик.

Зато со стороны динамика открыть AirPods 5 удалось без труда: iFixit повторили процедуру дважды, оба раза вскрытие прошло очень чисто.

А значит, после того как умрёт аккумулятор в одном из наушников, у вас останется мнимый шанс на его ремонт.

Обалдев от такой щедрости, эксперты iFixit впервые за десять лет подняли рейтинг ремонтопригодности AirPods с 0 до 2 баллов.

Тайваньский гигант Foxconn, отвечающий за сборку первого складного iPhone, испытывает трудности с масштабированием производства: конструкция раскладушки настолько сложная, что попытки ускорить темпы производства приводят к росту числа дефектов.

Пока что процент выхода годных iPhone Duo на финальной сборке лишь немногим превышает 60 %, — сообщает шанхайское издание Jiemian со ссылкой сразу на несколько источников.

Исследователи из Калифорнийского университета в Сан-Диего разработали усовершенствованную технику атаки на алгоритм RSA, позволяющую подделывать цифровые подписи без факторизации лежащих в основе RSA простых чисел и без необходимости восстановления закрытого ключа. Ресурсы, необходимые для совершения атаки на 1024-разрядный ключ RSA, оценены в 1380 лет вычислений на одном процессором ядре, что на имеющемся университетском кластере позволило за 5 месяцев определить параметры, необходимые для формирования фиктивных RSA-подписие (в эксперименте не использовались AI-ускорители и GPU, при их применении время вычислений может существенно сократиться). Для сравнения классический метод факторизации…

Like, say, other online dating services or your workplace crush who isn’t participating in the process.

In this regard, FirstDate is really not unlike the online dating apps that it is looking to innovate on.

There are clear benefits to a model of online dating driven less by profit incentives and shareholder value, and driven more by user needs.

The dating app industry has long made the exploitation of the artificial scarcity that it creates in online dating its primary source of revenue.

This worldview is so persistent precisely because of the inherently market-driven logic of online dating.

It's caused by a visual illusion from the butterfly's wings.

It helps solve a long-standing puzzle - butterflies have striking patterns that make them stand out, yet remarkably few predators specialise in catching them mid-flight.

Dr Anna Hughes, from the Department of Psychology, at the University of Essex added: "Butterflies’ beautiful wings are not just for show, they are vital for survival.

"Our brains – and those of other animals - don’t always interpret visual information perfectly, leading to illusions.

"We show this might have important consequences in the natural world, and in particular for butterflies, their striking patterns may have evolved to create confusing motion signals wh…

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, speaking on the new Power On podcast, says Apple’s camera will have “no video recording.” Instead, the device will use AI to analyze its surroundings and report what it detects.

The unusual approach could make privacy one of the defining features of Apple’s first dedicated home camera, while also making the product fundamentally different from a conventional security camera.

The Apple Post previously reported on the J450 camera as part of Apple’s wider smart home roadmap, including its expected use of facial recognition and infrared sensing.

That would separate it from Apple’s existing HomeKit Secure Video system, which lets compatible third-party cameras securely s…

The yellowish “lower haze” at the bottom of its atmosphere was discovered by the Venera and Pioneer Venus probes in the 1970s.

“Shooting stars” that burn up in the atmosphere leave behind cosmic dust particles, and after sulfuric acid interacts with these particles, it leaves behind a haze.

“The continuous influx of cosmic dust is sufficient to sustain this lower haze layer with the particle size distribution observed by the entry probes,” Karyu said in a study published in Nature Astronomy.

“These haze particles of cosmic origin act as efficient condensation nuclei, promoting cloud formation in the main cloud deck even far from their initial source.”Hazed and confusedPrevious speculation s…

A four-person crew rocketed into orbit Thursday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, heading for a six-month expedition on the International Space Station.

Riding a Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft, the four crew members departed from Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral at 11:10 am EDT (15:10 UTC) Thursday.

Nine minutes later, they were in orbit to begin closing in on the space station for docking Thursday evening.

Pilot Luke Delaney, a Marine Corps veteran, was seated next to Watkins for the Dragon spacecraft’s ascent into …

The Pentagon is informing more than 2 million current and former military members that their personnel records storing sensitive personal information were stolen over a monthslong compromise of one of its networks.

The breach is the second one in recent months to expose sensitive government information.

This last category could be particularly valuable to foreign adversaries because it could help their intelligence agencies in identifying high-value military personnel.

In a setback for publishers worried about the effects of AI search, a US federal judge has dismissed lawsuits filed by Chegg and Penske Media against Google.

The companies accused Google of antitrust violations in products like AI overviews, which have led to decreasing traffic at numerous sites.

However, US District Judge Amit Mehta has ruled that Google’s conduct is not illegal under antitrust law.

It is simply how a general search engine works.”Since Google never had a formal arrangement with either Chegg or Penske, antitrust law doesn’t apply.

He also heard the DOJ’s long-running search antitrust case against Google, eventually finding that Google violated the law.

Humans can be a frisky bunch, and it wasn’t very long after Tesla Autopilot started letting drivers go hands-free before people decided to post footage of themselves having sex from the driver’s seat.

Recently, The San Francisco Standard interviewed multiple people who claimed to have had sex in robotaxis belonging to General Motors’ now-defunct Cruise.

“The interiors of vehicles has been sexualized and appropriated for sex since forever in popular culture.

With its premiere just two weeks away, Marvel Studios has dropped one last trailer for the limited series, VisionQuest, which will complete the trilogy begun with WandaVision and Agatha All Along.

(Spoilers for WandaVision and Agatha All Along below.)

VisionQuest will complete the trilogy.

Vision (Paul Bettany) died in Infinity War, but WandaVision resurrected an all-white version whose memories were restored in the finale.

Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron.

Micron and Samsung executives this week said the memory shortage will continue for at least the next couple of years.

Micron no longer sells consumer RAM, and Mehrotra’s statements refer to Micron’s business-to-business sales of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI and DRAM for servers.

Manufacturing capacity is prioritizing memory for AI and servers, limiting the supply of memory manufactured for consumer devices.

Micron plans to open new clean rooms for memory manufacturing in 2028, but Mehrotra expects supply to remain limited.

Node transitions of the future give less productivity gain per wafer as well.”Seventy-five percent of Micron’s memory output for 2027 is already accounted for, and …

Florida cops are facing questions after a mandate to remove all Flock cameras tracking cars on St. Lucie County roads led local police to uncover more than a dozen suspicious cameras operating without permits.

Local residents told The Washington Post that they were alarmed that no one knows who owns many of the mysterious cameras.

Of the 14 cameras found, 11 had no obvious owners, raising concerns about who has access to sensitive data that bad actors could abuse.

In Florida, police have repeatedly been caught misusing Flock cameras, sometimes tracking single cars hundreds of times for personal reasons.

Two Pinellas County cops were arrested for invasive Flock tracking, with one, Travis Sta…

But one classic game called Stratego held out.

Hidden armiesIn Stratego, each player gets 40 pieces representing military ranks, from a marshal down to a spy, plus bombs and a flag.

That makes Stratego an imperfect-information game, just like poker, which computers cracked years ago.

“In Stratego, there’s 40 pieces on the board that could be in any order,” Farina said.

“In chess, usually the game lasts 40 moves, but in Stratego, a game can easily last 2,000 moves,” Farina said.

A year or two ago, a few Canadian launch companies were trying to develop small rockets, but if we’re being frank, the industry was not particularly notable.

Sure, something interesting might eventually happen, but no one outside of a few Canadian space geeks was paying much attention.

And pretty much every Canadian I know began telling me how enraged they were at their neighbors to the south.

So this spring, the government announced the first awards to three companies—NordSpace, Reaction Dynamics, and Canada Rocket Company—to support work on rockets with “light lift” capability.

Accordingly, one of these three companies, Toronto-based Canada Rocket Company, decided it would skip the small-…

But you can already find YouTube footage of PS5 titles like Astro’s Playroom and Demon’s Souls running quite capably under the emulator.

Astro’s Playroom running on a PC via KytyPS5The PS5 not-an-emulatorOn top of those more traditional emulators, AnyPS5 might be the most interesting effort to get PS5 games running on PC.

That puts the effort somewhere between direct static decompilation of a game’s source code and more complete emulation of the entire PS5 environment.

A PC port of the PS5 version of Dead Cell enabled by the AnyPS5 toolkit.

Still, the recent burst in activity and compatibility progress should give PC players hope that day will be coming eventually.

The rescue mission was developed by Katalyst Space Technologies, working under a $30 million contract awarded by NASA last September.

NASA gave Katalyst nine months to build and launch a satellite to capture Swift flying some 200 miles above the Earth and boost it into a higher orbit.

NASA announced in August that Link would not be able to reach Swift as intended, and the rescue mission was aborted.

In the end, though, the Link satellite did not reach the Swift Observatory.

This has made Swift the go-to observatory for detecting gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the Universe.

When researchers drilled for samples in the impact zone in 2016, they studied the types of rock that had formed as a result of the asteroid strike.

Subterranean effects reached 35 km (almost 22 miles) down, and included the melting an immense amount of rock.

As hot water seeped into the pores, a hydrothermal system formed.

The hot water gushing into an isolated region of the freezing depths could have attracted microorganisms and possibly other life forms that were otherwise struggling to survive.

What they found was that both the scale of this hydrothermal system and how long it lasted had previously been underestimated.

A fifth, unvaccinated person has died of measles in Pennsylvania, the state’s health department announced Wednesday.

Prior to these five deaths in Pennsylvania, the state had not reported a measles death in 35 years.

To date, they are the only measles deaths reported this year in the US.

Last year, the US saw three measles deaths: two in otherwise-healthy, unvaccinated school-aged children in Texas and an unvaccinated adult in New Mexico.

Prior to the 2025 deaths, the US had not seen a measles death since 2015.

An Argentinian-American writer and immigration advocate recently sued the federal government, demanding that it delete data that he believes was copied off of his phone when he re-entered the United States earlier this month.

“[The agent] threatened me, saying that if I didn’t give him my phone, my interrogation was going to take much longer and they could retain my phone indefinitely,” Kennedy wrote.

“I felt like I had no choice, so I handed my phone to the CBP agent.”The agent took the phone away and only returned after approximately 45 minutes, during which Kennedy believes that data on the phone was copied.

The activist says there is a significant amount of sensitive personal and profes…

After officials in Florida's St. Lucie County opted to end use of Flock cameras and began removing them, they discovered several devices that were not connected to any local agencies.

The Washington Post reported that the county leaders thought they had 52 cameras, but found 14 additional ones that were unaccounted for and unpermitted.

That means there were 11 Flock cameras placed in the area with unknown owners that none of the county officials knew about.

Unsurprisingly, multiple county residents told The Post that they felt unsafe or unhappy about this discovery.

Last month, Florida's Department of Transportation enacted a ban on Flock license plate readers from being placed on state roa…

The concept is identical to a feature Google added to Search in 2025, which similarly lets users upload photos and see themselves in a variety of clothes.

You can access ChatGPT's Virtual Try On feature anywhere a product listing for clothing appears in a chat.

You don't have to use products ChatGPT surfaces in a chat, either: any screenshot of clothing you upload could theoretically be used to generate a try-on image.

Ian Carlos Campbell for EngadgetOpenAI says the feature uses the new ChatGPT Images 2.5 model it released in September to create the photos.

The typical caution about what images you upload to ChatGPT still applies, though.

OpenAI is understandably facing a lot of skepticism and concern about these incidents and how they were handled.

"We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information," an OpenAI representative said in a statement published by WSJ.

"Our investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established company procedures, violating our policies and breaking the trust essential to our work."

The details on this particular instance are sparse, and it's entirely possible that OpenAI did have legitimate cause to fire those individuals.

But at a juncture when its own services are also violat…

On Thursday, the company revealed the Galaxy Buds On for its home Korean market, bringing the style popularized by Bose, Huawei and Shokz to the Galaxy ecosystem.

If you aren't familiar, the clip-on style is designed to latch onto the side of your ear, leaving the canal open.

Touch controls live on the back of each bud, and a voice-isolating feature is designed to help with call clarity.

9to5Google notes that the Buds On's case looks nearly identical, externally at least, to the one that ships with Galaxy Buds 4.

The Galaxy Buds On are launching in just a single black color option in South Korea on October 27.

Deep Silver, the publisher behind the Metro series of survival shooters, is releasing updates for Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux that add support for modern consoles, 4K graphics and other improvements.

The updates aren't proper remakes of either game, but they do take advantage of new graphical and gameplay features offered on modern consoles like the PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X/S.

That includes support for 4K textures, the PS5 Pro's PSSR, TSR upscaling on the Xbox Series X and spatial audio on both Xbox Series consoles.

The PC versions of both Redux games will also receive support for DLSS upscaling and spatial audio, along with a host of community bug fixes.

Privacy is one of Apple's core tenets, and in 2024, the company began equipping many iPhones with an inactivity reboot feature.

In practice, this has meant that law enforcement officials have been unable to access information on a smartphone.

However, 404 Media reported that it has seen a training video made for law enforcement that allegedly demonstrates how tools made by Magnet Forensics can access data usually made unavailable by iPhones' inactivity reboot.

Magnet Forensics makes GrayKey, which it primarily sells to police as a means of unlocking smartphones.

According to the new video, the company has developed a workaround for iPhones' inactivity reboot both in a new GrayKey Preserve t…

A federal judge has dismissed lawsuits from publisher Penske Media Corporation (PMC) and ed tech company Chegg that alleged Google's AI Overviews illegally pulled readers away by repackaging their online content, Reuters reports.

PMC and Chegg's original lawsuits claimed that Google was using AI Overviews and its vast index of the web to siphon traffic away from their online ad businesses, hurting their revenue.

Other publishers have raised concerns about how their content contributes to Google's AI search features, but the situation isn't entirely clear-cut.

Publishers can exclude webpages from being used for AI Overviews, but they will still be listed in traditional search results.

As the cooler months roll in, it's a perfect time to tackle some of the gaming projects in your backlog.

Or maybe you'd rather just add more titles to said backlog, because the Steam Autumn Sale is underway from now through October 8 at 1PM ET/10AM PT.

Resident Evil Requiem and 007 First Light are both 30 percent off, bringing two of this year's more notable titles to under $50.

A couple other intriguing new titles are also on sale, like the retro tech repair game ReStory and the stylish looking Mouse: P.I.

The Talos Principle II is $3, and well worth playing before the final game in the series comes out next year.

New York City's click-to-cancel rule is now in effect, after Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the legislation back in July.

As the name suggests, this forces companies to make it much easier to cancel stuff.

Beginning today, the first-in-the-nation Click to Cancel Rule is now in effect!

As of today, companies must clearly explain subscription terms to consumers and they must disclose any and all consumer rights when it comes to buying or canceling subscriptions.

The Mamdani administration says this should be used if it was hard to cancel a subscription or if a business delayed canceling a subscription, among other reasons.

Following the lead of streamers everywhere, Pandora is instituting a price hike.

In a September 2026 email, the music streamer announced that their subscriptions would increase by at least a dollar per month beginning in October.

The announcement prompted a mix of surprise and outrage from many of Pandora's millions of paid subscribers.

The change comes just months after Spotify, one of Pandora's fiercest competitors, instituted a similar price hike.

And while the company assures its subscribes that "we haven't made this decision lightly," some will inevitably be skeptical that increased prices will translate into a better product.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has added AI upscaling to the standard PS5.

It's deploying patches for Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei today that make them the first games to support Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR) through new graphics options.

The company has offered PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling on PS5 Pro since the higher-end version of the console arrived two years ago and it has continued to iterate on the tech.

In a blog post, Sony says players and developers asked whether it was possible to bring a similar option to the less-powerful PS5.

It says it's now able to offer AI upscaling on PS5 thanks to "a streamlined neural network architecture" and "…

Sadly, there's no increase to the charging speed, which remains at 45W for the 11,600 milliamp-hour battery, which is also the same size found on the S11 Ultra.

S12 Ultra will ship with the latest One UI 9.0 Android skin out of the box, but the S11 Ultra will get the same update before too long.

If you skipped out on the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra because of its paltry updates compared to the S10 Ultra, there's very little here to compel you this time around.

If you've felt stymied by the performance of the S11 Ultra, you won't get a lot more breathing room from the new chip, and even S10 Ultra owners may not have a compelling reason to upgrade.

Samsung didn't release the Tab S12 Ultra with any g…

Audible just announced something called Interactive Stories, which lets listeners "become part of the story's world."

The first of these experiences will accompany the upcoming Audible Original adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

The company is also launching something called the Character Guide to coincide with that new Dracula adaptation.

Finally, Audible has announced something called Visual Explorer.

The platform says "listeners might glimpse a map" or be given the ability to "explore an image tied to a pivotal moment."

In 2026, we've reviewed over 130 products (so far), from phones and laptops through to smart rings and even a toaster.

For Engadget's Best of 2026 awards, our reviewers and editors ran through our testing database to pick the products that impressed us the most.

The first step was to narrow down the field by only considering products that met our baseline for our Editors' Choice award — 90 out of 100.

For example, six laptops earned our Editor's Choice award this year, but only three have made the cut for our Best of 2026 awards so far.

We also considered products that fell just short but still stood out as the best in their field — none of the kitchen tech we reviewed this year may have ea…

Samsung has increased the prices of its Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra phones by at least $100 on its website, even though most configurations were already more expensive than last year's equivalents when they debuted in March.

That's the price for the base model with 256GB of storage, meaning that particular flavor of the Galaxy S26 is now $200 more than its Galaxy S25 equivalent.

If you want a Galaxy S26 with 512GB of storage, that'll now run you $1,200.

The Galaxy S26+ is $1,200 for 256GB of storage and $1,400 for the 512GB variant.

As for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, you'll need to pay $1,400 for 256GB of storage, $1,600 for 512GB and $2,000 for 1TB.

Earth is in the midst of its fourth global coral bleaching event.

Scientists expect that by 2050, the world’s oceans will have warmed so much that most reefs suffer mass bleaching every year.

The decimation of these vital ecosystems threatens numerous other marine species, natural protections for coastal communities, and the multi-billion dollar fishing industry that feeds and employs millions of people.

This species is particularly heat tolerant but is associated with reduced coral growth and perhaps greater susceptibility to disease.

What’s more, the researchers did not observe any differences in density of algae occupation or algae species between the shaded and unshaded corals.

Ford CEO Jim Farley says Washington should take the “time to be considerate” before allowing Chinese automakers to sell their highly sought-after electric vehicles in the United States.

Back in July, Ford announced a partnership with Chinese automaker Geely to jointly develop electric vehicles in Spain.

Unlike Europe, the current regulatory environment in the United States effectively bans Chinese electric vehicles from entering the American market.

Industry analysts and experts think the introduction of Chinese auto brands to the United States is pretty much inevitable.

China hawks in Congress are working on legislation to get in front of that “inevitability” and permanently ban the sale o…

Here’s something you don’t see every day, unless you happen to watch Terminator 2: Judgement Day that much: robots diving into a pool of molten metal.

AI robotics firm Figure recently retired its fleet of Figure 02 humanoid robots.

The company wrote in a blog post that the robots were no longer maintainable, and Figure had decided to destroy them completely in order to protect their “custom-built actuators and other intellectual property” from leaks.

One steel foundry in Imatra, Finland did volunteer, and Figure began training its robots to jump off cliffs in simulation.

“We really trained robots to jump autonomously, shipped them to Finland, and had them leap into a vat of molten steel,” …

Amid a sharp downturn in EV sales in the U.S., Toyota’s longtime focus on hybrids appears to be paying off.

Of those, 363,367, or 57%, were what Toyota calls “electrified” vehicles, which includes hybrids, plug-in hybrids, fully electric vehicles, and fuel-cell vehicles.

That means electrified models outsold Toyota and Lexus vehicles powered only by traditional combustion engines.

Toyota sold 325,227 electrified vehicles out of 540,167 total vehicles during the quarter, meaning just over 60% were electrified.

Overall, Toyota’s electrified sales rose 29% year over year.

He wrote a horror series called Quit Laughing, Shijima.

Quit Laughing, Shijima starts out like a paint-by-numbers high school romance.

Parasocially, I felt Quit Laughing, Shijima worked as a holdover to a concept he introduced with MHA‘s knife-wielding villainess, Toga Himiko.

Quit Laughing, Shijima felt like it reached into my brain, its finger on that social phenomenon.

The jury is still out on whether Quit Laughing, Shijima will spin off into its own horror series.

OpenAI has severed ties with three members of its safety team after they leaked confidential information, the company confirmed to Gizmodo on Thursday.

“We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.

“Our investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established company procedures, violating our policies and breaking the trust essential to our work.” The ex-employees allegedly shared the confidential material with “a third-party AI safety organization,” according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news.

When you skewer a pickle on two metal forks and plug it into a socket, one end of the vegetable glows orange.

Pickles easily conduct electrical currents because they are soaked in salt water.

These two theories essentially boil down to spark discharge versus hydrogen gas ignition.

Mendez’s work, however, suggests that what’s really going on involves both scenarios—the electrical spark is what ignites the hydrogen.

“It’s just like why you don’t light a cigarette at a gas station.

I can’t believe I even have to say this out loud: do not be the idiot who breaks their new $2,000 iPhone Duo by peeling off the nano-texture layer that covers the inner screen.

Interesting that the Nano Texture “cover layer” is covered (ha) separately from the inner display.

Let me repeat it again: do remove the nano-texture layer on the iPhone Duo’s inner screen yourself just to get a glossy screen.

Just because Apple’s repair gurus can professionally replace the cover layer doesn’t mean you, John Smith, should attempt it.

If you want a foldable phone with a glossy inner screen, Samsung or Xiaomi would be happy to sell you one.

Horror fans were already buzzing over the first collaboration between Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele, who announced late last year they’d be teaming up to produce a film called Portrait of God.

And there’s a new studio attached too: Lionsgate, which said in a press release that Portrait of God has officially been greenlit for production.

Clark’s feature debut, a reimagining of The Blair Witch Project, is also a Lionsgate release and has a release date of September 24, 2027.

Raimi also has a Lionsgate film in the works, a modern take on Magic, the William Goldman novel that also inspired the very creepy 1978 movie starring Anthony Hopkins.

As for Portrait of God, the seven-minute short film is a…

President Donald Trump reportedly sought the counsel of Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok about the mission to kidnap Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro well before he actually went through with it.

Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present.

It’s easy to imagine other scenarios where President Trump could be manipulated through chatbots.

After some tinkering by Musk, Grok started spouting conspiracy theories about white farmers in South Africa and declared itself MechaHitler while advocating for a new Holocaust.

It’s much harder to eat the evidence created when you query an AI chatbot.

Since 1966, Geumseong Mountain has served as a strategic post for the South Korean military’s air defense forces.

The squad then contacted experts with the National Institute of Cultural Heritage at Naju, a city in southwestern Korea nearest to the mountain.

Archaeological analysis revealed that the weapon was a “Hwangja Hwatong,” an early type of gunpowder weapon from medieval Korean history.

This would make it among the earliest firearms discovered in Korea’s archaeological record, according to a statement by the Korea Heritage Service (self-translated).

Naju’s National Institute of Cultural Heritage plans to share further information as the team continues to investigate the art…

Brockman and his wife initially promised to donate a total of $50 million, according to the super PAC.

A recent Politico story even referred to the super PAC as “the Death Star” of the AI political universe.

That reputation also meant that the AI companies that associate themselves with the super PAC were putting themselves in the bullseye of public outrage.

AI safety became the hot topic of the moment after OpenAI admitted in July that its AI agents broke containment and hacked into Hugging Face.

The three AI labs are also reportedly creating a new AI safety standards body.

Months after Danny McBride was tapped to direct a film based on the Hasbro toy series for Paramount, he’s cast none other than Bradley Cooper as the leader of the Joes, Duke.

But once Cooper read the script, he decided he wanted to do it, and they worked it out.

There’s no news on a release date for McBride’s G.I.

These Nasca mummies (often transliterated as “Nazca”) were seated upright, posed with their knees to chest and their hands posed near their faces—but, according to Kellner, the biggest surprise was actually where these bodies were found.

But, despite crafting plenty of art and iconography depicting its soldiers ready for battle, the Wari’s behavior at Huaca del Loro suggests a more peaceful history with the Nasca.

But that evidence of colonial might was complicated by their preliminary findings in the tomb of these four mummies.

Peruvian archaeologists working with the Museo Nacional de Lima have already taken DNA samples and scanned the mummies via computerized tomography (CT) imag…

In the fall of 1966, Congress established the Department of Transportation and then passed the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act as well as the Highway Safety Act, giving the federal government sweeping new authority to set safety standards.

I was thinking about this while watching various AI CEOs huddle around US president Donald Trump on Tuesday, congratulating themselves and each other on having signed an AI safety accord.

Or, as Trump put it even more succinctly in the Oval Office on Wednesday: “They’re gonna police, and they’re gonna police each other, and they’re gonna self-police, they’re gonna police themselves.

It’s going to work out very well.”So this is the current st…

Well, I was just going to say, I was at the Developer Day yesterday, and I had a few observations.

As satirical news outlet The Onion continued to wage a legal battle to acquire the assets of Infowars out of bankruptcy this summer, it launched a streaming program that spoofed the brand and its bellowing conspiracist ringleader, Alex Jones.

Comedian Tim Heidecker took the reins of the operation, adopting Jones’ guttural and paranoid bluster as he investigated, among other unconfirmed reports, whether Jones himself had exploded in his car after eating too much Whataburger.

But Heidecker wasn’t about to stop there in his quest to transform the Infowars brand into a gonzo comedy network along the lines of Adult Swim.

Now he’s taking aim at another high-profile target: Joe Rogan, the bro podc…

On Thursday, the company introduced a handful of new Kindle models: a new 6-inch base Kindle, a 7-inch Kindle Paperwhite, and a 7-inch Kindle Colorsoft.

The screen refreshes 30 percent faster than the base Kindle, and the screen has a higher…

The price increases hit several current Kindle models, leaving only the recent Kindle Scribe models with the original price tag.

There are now the Kindle Scribe ($500), Kindle Scribe Colorsoft ($630), and the Kindle Scribe Without Front Light ($430).

Overall, I'd say they're good devices, but as long as the cheaper second-generation Kindle Scribe is available, I think it's the better buy.

These models include the Kindle 2nd Generation (International), Kindle DX International, Kindle DX Graphite, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle 4th Generation, and Kindle 5th Generation.

If they want to pair it with a stylus for highlighting and be able to take notes, get a Kindle Scribe model.

Between honey traps and legal moles, War's first episode is already brimming with dramatic twists.

Carla's legal firm, Taylor & Byrne, opt to serve Morgan via email after the premiere of Carla's new film, The Milliner.

Morgan serving Carla in public at an important career event immediately recalls how Jason Sudeikis' legal team served his ex-partner Olivia Wilde with custody papers in 2022.

"There's a nod to the Olivia Wilde serving at the end of the pilot of War," series creator George Kay told Mashable in a junket interview.

"I was so excited to shoot that scene because of the level of hiding that she would have to do," Miller told Mashable in a junket interview.

Well, because the priorities of any publicly traded company are profits, then stock price, then market cap, then penny-pinching, and then the cycle repeats.

So when AI leaders say they are deeply concerned, I believe they mean it.

I can't imagine any of these companies willingly hobbling their stock price by holding back the next, better model while a competitor races ahead.

The thirst for money, profit, and a higher stock price will win out every single time, even if humanity is at risk.

The energy in the lobby of Alice Tully Hall was kinetic on the night of Sept. 30, as press, patrons, and the public eagerly awaited the New York Film Festival's New York premiere of You Can See Everything.

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…

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…

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…

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…

I actually remember SUSE Linux before it was SUSE Enterprise Linux or SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop.

According to the official openSUSE blog, “Leap 16.1 is the first Leap release to offer an Immutable Mode, a transactionally updated system with a read-only root filesystem.

Does that mean Leap Immutable will be a sort of “immutable light”?

The answer is a resounding “no.” After a bit of digging, it became clear that Leap Immutable will be a fully immutable distribution.

If you were to accidentally run a malicious script on an immutable system, it would be unable to alter anything in those immutable directories.

LLMjacking, the illegal use of AI resources, is a popular criminal trend in 2026.

Security experts warn that it’s not just artificial intelligence (AI) going rogue that we have to worry about — there’s also a booming underground economy for selling access to your AI models and computing power.

While cryptojacking describes stealing computing power to illicitly mine cryptocurrency, LLMjacking is the AI equivalent: using AI power and resources that don’t belong to you.

The rising cost of LLMjackingAs AI models offered by organizations, including OpenAI and Anthropic, continue to advance in sophistication, capacity, and skill, they require more computing power.

Microsoft says the Code feature is “powered by the same underlying technology as GitHub Copilot [and] runs in a sandboxed environment” that’s hosted securely in the Microsoft 365 tenant.

Japan’s biggest power generator is teaming up with Dell to build AI data centres across the country.

JERA, Dell and UK developer RHAELM signed a non-binding agreement on Thursday, JERA said.

JERA brings the land and power, Dell supplies ready-built racks of servers, and RHAELM runs the build.

“JERA is uniquely positioned to power Japan’s AI ambitions,” said Yukio Kani, its global chief executive.

In June, Blackstone said it planned $30bn for Japan AI data centres over the next few years.

OpenAI has parted ways with three employees who it says mishandled sensitive company information.

They allegedly gave company details to an outside group that tests AI models, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

“Our investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established company procedures, violating our policies and breaking the trust essential to our work,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.

It left technology behind, and still cannot confirm that the kit, or any data on it, is secure.

The inspector general for the Federal Reserve Board and the CFPB issued the warning as an urgent management alert on Wednesday.

The CFPB has “no way of knowing” whether anyone accessed, changed or took the hardware or any sensitive data on it, the report said.

The kit could hold consumer complaints, sensitive financial details and confidential supervisory records, the watchdog warned.

“No databases containing sensitive data are housed in the regional offices,” wrote chief information officer Christopher Chilbert.

GM’s third-quarter sales fell 5.5% and its electric models collapsed, with the Equinox EV down 92.4% to 1,905 cars after America ended its $7,500 purchase credit.

GM sold 5.5% fewer vehicles last quarter and its electric models collapsed.

A year earlier, in the rush before the credit expired, GM set an electric sales record.

Its sales rose 0.6% to 633,223, with electrified models including hybrids up 28.5% and above 57% of its total.

Here that is a problem for the 2035 rules rather than for electric sales.

Factory chief executive Matan Grinberg said on X on Wednesday that he was cutting ties with Chris Degnan, an adviser of about a year.

Degnan was later named chief revenue officer at Cognition, a much larger rival.

Samsung has added $100 to the Galaxy S26, S26+ and Ultra and $200 to the 1TB Ultra, seven months after the phones went on sale, blaming the memory shortage.

The same shortage made Samsung’s semiconductor division 94% of company profit in the first quarter while its mobile division’s operating profit fell about 38%.

Samsung has put $100 on the Galaxy S26, S26+ and Ultra in the United States, and $200 on the 1TB Ultra.

In the first quarter the semiconductor business produced 94% of company profit, while mobile’s operating profit fell about 38%.

Apple, Google and Samsung have all put up phone prices within a quarter, citing nothing but memory.

New York and Chicago face tight vacancy rates and growing demand for flexible housing, PadSplit said.

TSMC is weighing a new Texas campus of multiple fabs, each costing at least $20B, contingent on Congress extending a 35% manufacturing tax credit.

Its only European plant, the Dresden joint venture, totals above EUR 10B and will run 28nm to 12nm nodes rather than anything used for AI.

TSMC is eyeing a Texas campus worth tens of billions, to build more AI chips.

Europe has one TSMC plant and needed a subsidy for it.

Walmart is turning its digital shelf labels into a way to find things.

Shoppers can now make the label under a product flash from the Walmart app, as Laya Neelakandan reported for CNBC.

A Walmart store carries about 120,000 items, so finding one jar of sauce is not always easy.

New Jersey has still frozen new digital labels for a year.

“Digital shelf labels are not a tool for surveillance pricing and are simply a modern way to display prices,” Walmart said, calling the law an overreaction.

Ford chief executive Jim Farley said it is too late for Europe to fend off Chinese carmakers and that the United States should take its time deciding.

Ford’s own answer in Europe is a Valencia joint venture in which Geely holds 34% and will build two of the four electric models from 2028.

Jim Farley told a Detroit conference it is too late for the continent and that America should take its time.

Polymarket has named Goldman Sachs veteran Lisa Mantil head of institutional growth, putting Wall Street participation and liquidity at the center of its next phase of expansion.

Mantil will lead the company’s work with investment managers, trading firms, corporations and banks.

DraftKings plans to invest more in its DKeX prediction market, where Bernstein estimates consumer trading volume could reach $1 billion by December, even as Kalshi led reported NFL opening-week sports volume with 76%.

DKeX accounted for 3% of that sports trading, according to Needham data cited in the report.

The figures underline the gap DraftKings must close: DKeX ranked third overall in prediction-market trading volume in the third week of September, behind Kalshi and Polymarket.

National Council on Problem Gambling President Derek Longmeier said prediction markets are functionally gambling, even as the organization defends the membership of Kalshi, which donated $2 million and joined NCPG in June.

Longmeier laid out the group’s position in a statement released Tuesday, arguing that regardless of how regulators legally classify prediction markets, the products can expose users to the same risks tied to traditional gambling.

The statement arrived amid mounting pressure over Kalshi’s NCPG membership, which prompted Jaime Costello, the council’s director of programs, to resign immediately after the statement was published.

The company will show the product at Booth 3430 in Las Vegas.

Passport frames the kiosk as a way to reduce cage traffic and streamline transactions.

Passport says the kiosk was shaped by years of experience and customer insights.

A new forecast projects that prediction markets could capture roughly 20% of all NFL betting activity this season, a sign of how quickly the event-contract sector has carved out space alongside traditional sportsbooks.

A Second Channel, Not a TakeoverFramed this way, prediction markets look less like a disruptor poised to overtake sportsbooks and more like a parallel channel still building its installed base.

That tracks with broader reporting on the shift from traditional NFL sportsbooks toward prediction markets, which has documented growing interest without wholesale migration away from legacy operators.

Download and engagement data around the NFL season offer a similar picture.

For now,…

Kalshi had argued that its event contracts, including sports-related offerings, are swaps under federal commodities law and therefore fall outside the reach of state gambling statutes.

A Widening Split Among the CircuitsFriday’s decision is the third time a federal appeals court has weighed in on whether prediction markets answer to state gambling regulators, federal commodities law, or both – and the answers haven’t matched.

Kalshi has made similar arguments in the Ohio, Tennessee and Nevada cases, framing state enforcement as fragmenting a market that federal law was designed to oversee nationally.

The FT gathered data from meetings held since June 2024, when the latest European Parliament elections took place, and found that Apple met with EU policymakers 257 times during that period.

That put the company second only to Google among major tech companies, with 302 meetings.

GrayKey reportedly gets around Inactivity Reboot404 Media reported today that, based on an “educational and tutorial video, which was made exclusively for law enforcement agents and appears to be dated early 2025,” Magnet Forensics, the company behind the GrayKey phone unlocking tool, appears to have developed a way to bypass the iPhone’s Inactivity Reboot feature.

iPhone Duo ‘cover layer’ on folding display can be replaced over time for a day-one lookAfter the iPhone Duo was introduced last month, Apple execs gave interviews explaining how the company very intentionally sought to maximize durability and minimize crease issues that plague other foldables.

Fall is a big season for sports fans, and ESPN recently launched a big upgrade for users of its tvOS and iOS apps: 4K HDR streaming.

ESPN streaming service now supports 4K HDR, with tvOS and iOS apps first to add supportIn the last few weeks, ESPN began rolling out a big upgrade in its tvOS and iOS apps.

The streaming service now offers 4K HDR quality for top programming, including live games from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and more.

When browsing the ESPN app, you’ll see a new ‘4K HDR’ tag for content that supports the higher-quality video stream.

For any sports fans tempted to splurge on an Apple TV 4K for the first time, we recommend holding out just a little bit longer.

Today, it’s HP’s turn, with a brand-new OLED-equipped laptop set to start at that same $699 price point, but not without plenty of strings attached.

At 11.77mm thick and just 2.56 pounds for a 14-inch display, it sounds perfect for the back-to-school shopping season HP just barely missed.

Under the hood, HP says it’ll support “up to” an Intel Core 7 processor, though that’s the only option on display here.

HP does say it’s compatible with the company’s 65W mini GaN charger, which I assume is bundled in the box.

For starters, it’s unclear what processor the $700 variant of this laptop will ship with, leaving comparisons with Apple’s A18 Pro hard to make.

OpenAI согласилась приобрести Astral, которая создает *современные* инструменты на Python для разработчиков, чтобы интегрировать её команду в Codex. Ну и по пути сообщает, что у Codex более 2 млн пользователей — в три раза больше, чем в январе. При этом от лица разработчиков заявляю — мы всё больше предпочитаем Claude Code.

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

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