Она доминировала на рынке мобильных телефонов с 1998-го по 2012 год, сразу разглядела угрозу со стороны Apple, пыталась соперничать с производителями Android-устройств, но удержать позиции не смогла. Теперь перед компанией очередная гонка.

В Сталинграде-Волгограде простецкий материал проторил дорогу и в монументальное искусство: денег на мрамор и гранит отчаянно не хватало, а пышно оформить восстающий из пепла город очень хотелось.

Никитин применил то же конструктивно-технологическое решение, что и на Останкинской телебашне, над которой он работал одновременно: полое внутри сооружение стягивались воедино 99 стальными тросами.

Всё бы хорошо, будь нагрузки постоянными или хотя бы меняющимися медленно: напряжения и деформации тогда тоже бы не «скакали», не разбалтывали титановые листы, не покрывали бетон морщинами трещин, не накапливали усталость в тросах и арматуре.

В результате сила, действующая перпендикулярно вектору скорост…

ИИ-акцент является определенным стилем написания текста и как любой стиль его можно описать как совокупность двух составляющих: лексической и структурной.

Мой язык - Go, и в февральском обзоре Go 1.26 я написал про новый SIMD-пакет грустную строчку: «поддержка ARM64 планируется в будущих версиях».

Будущее пришло быстрее, чем я ждал: в go1.27rc2 пакет simd стал портируемым, и один Go-код разворачивается в Neon на Apple Silicon и в AVX2 на Intel.

Загрузил [1, 2, 3, 4] в один регистр и [10, 20, 30, 40] в другой, дал одну команду сложения, и в регистре-результате лежит [11, 22, 33, 44] .

Полигенные оценки: по чертам или по моделямВнутри вкладки полигенных оценок в интерфейсе Just-DNA-Lite есть два раздела: по чертам/признакам ( by trait ) и по отдельным моделям ( individual ).

Пользователи активно выражают своё недовольство на официальном YouTube-канале компании, из-за чего, к слову, больше страдают разработчики, а не Sony.

Одна из петиций о возвращении дисков уже собрала около 340 тысяч подписей, но эксперты уверены, что это никак не повлияет на решение Sony.

Да, цифровая версия конечно же удобней физической в плане скорости покупки и доступа к ней, но и тут бывают проблемы: нет интернета — нет игры.

Sony могла бы даже систематизировать перепродажи цифровых игр с привязкой к токенам и брать с этого небольшую комиссию, как Valve с карточек.

Для Sony это бизнес, а не благотворительность и если она может где-то сэкономить деньги — она это сделает.

Tsuyosa Shore Timeslip (NJ0238-57E) выполнены в чёрном цвете с золотистыми акцентами и оснащены однонаправленным безелем на 120 щелчков.

Обычно в серии Tsuyosa представлены часы со встроенным браслетом и яркими циферблатами, но в новой модели циферблат стал более сдержанным.

Несмотря на наличие безеля, нырять с этими часами не стоит: водонепроницаемость у них составляет всего 100 метров.

Сердце Tsuyosa Shore Timeslip — это механический калибр с автоподзаводом 8210: 21 камень, частота 21 600 полуколебаний в час и запас хода до 42 часов.

Модель выпущена тиражом 12 тысяч экземпляров и уже поступила в продажу в Великобритании по цене 350 фунтов стерлингов (около 36 тысяч рублей).

Радиоуправляемая модель размером 15,3 × 7,5 × 3,74 см повторяет Quadra Turbo-R из игрового трейлера и игры Cyberpunk 2077.

Одна из идей — создать на базе «Госуслуг» единую цифровую экосистему, которая предложит пользователям больше возможностей для общения.

Далее выпустят 14-дюймовый MacBook Pro на чипе M7 с дизайном, похожим на MacBook OLED.

В конце 2027 года — MacBook OLED на чипах M7 Pro и M7 Max.

Не будем ходить вокруг да около: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 на старте стоил 92 000 рублей, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 — 105 000 рублей, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 — 150 000 рублей, а Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra — 170 000.

Ругать мобильное подразделение Samsung рука не поворачивается, ведь они выжимают все соки из тех ресурсов, которые у них есть.

С момента появления в смартфонах circle-to-search, «ластика» и чат-ботов, компании больше не смогли ничего предложить.

Конечно, тут ещё важно учесть жадность кучки компаний, которые и виновны в создании ИИ-пузыря, но об этом мы уже писали.

Вопрос: а настолько ли нам нужны ИИ-технологии, что из-за них пусть и косвенно, но, Samsung не может предложить толковые …

Это первая складная «Ультра» компании, которая, однако, заслужила этот статус не из-за технических новшеств, а по необходимости небольшого ребрендинга.

Теперь обычный Z Fold8 — это раскладушка с «паспортным» форматом, а Z Fold8 Ultra — это классическое складное устройство, как и Z Fold7.

В сравнении с последним у новинки есть пара приятных улучшений.

Цветовая гамма новинки включает белый, чёрный, тёмно-фиолетовый и зелёный — последний будет эксклюзивом онлайн-магазина Samsung.

За небольшие улучшения россиянам придётся заплатить дополнительно 20 000 рублей: стоимость базовой версии Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra начинается от 170 000 рублей, тогда как в прошлом году ценник стартовал от 150 000…

Также увеличились аккумуляторы: Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 получил батарею на 800 мА·ч вместо 590 мА·ч, Galaxy Watch9 ёмкость выросла не так значительно.

Galaxy Watch9 40 и 44 мм получили 1,34 и 1,47-дюймовые AMOLED-экраны с пиковой яркостью до 3000 нит.

Объём памяти — 2/32 ГБ, ёмкость аккумулятора по сравнению с прошлым поколением увеличилась до 390 вместо 325 мА·ч и до 445 вместо 435 мА·ч соответственно.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 оснащены 1,52-дюймовым AMOLED-экраном с разрешением 480 × 480 пикселей и пиковой яркостью до 5000 нит, 2/64 ГБ памяти, аккумулятором на 800 мА·ч и защитой IP69K и 10 ATM+.

В российских магазинах Galaxy Watch9 40 мм будут стоить от 27 тысяч рублей, Galaxy Watch9 44 мм — от 2…

Корейцы явили миру свою раскладушку с паспортным форматом, которая должна навязать борьбу аналогичному устройству от Apple.

Но верит ли в него сама Samsung?

По слухам, компания планирует произвести всего 1 млн устройств, с которых вряд ли получится заработать.

Вероятно, тут делают ставку на то, чтобы охватить все ниши, а там уж как пойдёт.

В РФ Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 стартует от 150 000 рублей.

Основное изменение по сравнению Galaxy Z Flip7 — смартфон похудел сразу на 8 граммов.

А внутри теперь стоит чип Exynos 2600, сделанный по 2-нм техпроцессу.

В остальном обновление получилось минимальным: экраны, камеры и аккумулятор остались такими же, как у прошлого поколения.

В раскрытом состоянии корпус стал тоньше ещё на 0,4 мм — теперь его толщина составляет всего 6,1 мм.

В России Galaxy Z Flip8 256 ГБ будет стоить от 105 тысяч рублей, а Galaxy Z Flip8 512 ГБ — от 125 тысяч рублей.

В 2025 году в конкурсе LEGO Ideas «Возвращение девяностых» победила работа автора WetWired по мотивам «Секретных материалов».

Но общая идея осталась прежней: инсталляция смахивает на плакат I Want to Believe, который присутствует и в самом наборе.

Стоить набор будет $200, или около 15 тысяч рублей.

Тогда на нём доминировали немецкие Adidas и Puma, но Найт предположил, что компании из Японии смогут их потеснить — как японские фотоаппараты уже потеснили немецкие.

Найт продолжил путешествие один: он не отказался от главной цели поездки — проверить, смогут ли японские кроссовки найти покупателей в США.

Компании у Найта ещё не было, поэтому он на ходу придумал название Blue Ribbon Sports.

Не пытайся сделать компанию похожей на себяНайт был тихим, сдержанным и не стремился находиться в центре внимания.

Эксперты Russian Business рассказали, как может работать цифровой токен, зачем он нужен бизнесу и какие риски могут возникнуть при его использовании.

В качестве одного из возможных решений Минцифры рассматривает цифровой токен и биометрию.

Согласно концепции, цифровой токен должен объединять фрагменты данных о человеке из разных систем и создавать «единый защищённый периметр» вокруг цифровой личности.

Главный эксперт «Лаборатории Касперского» Сергей Голованов отметил, что цифровой токен не заменит существующие способы идентификации.

«Цифровой токен — это ещё один идентификатор, который должен связать между собой данные из разных систем.

Продажи квартир в новостройках в России в июне 2026 года выросли на 33% по сравнению с маем, а за первое полугодие рынок первичного жилья увеличился на 3% год к году, говорится в исследовании Авито Недвижимости.

Тогда Anthropic представила две модели: основную Claude, позднее получившую название Claude 1, и более быструю и дешёвую Claude Instant.

«Многие наши первые клиенты — компании, которым важно, чтобы модель не вела себя непредсказуемо и не выдумывала факты».

В сентябре 2024 года в Anthropic пришёл инженер Борис Черни.

Таким образом, Anthropic зарабатывает и на количестве подключённых сотрудников, и на том, насколько активно бизнес использует Claude в работе.

Один из них проявился после запуска Claude Fable 5 и Claude Mythos 5, которые Anthropic представила 9 июня 2026 года.

Внутри платформы стример может зарабатывать на платных подписках, показе рекламы, сообщениях и виртуальных подарках от зрителей, а на некоторых сервисах — получать выплаты по партнёрским программам.

В лайфстайл- и экспертных категориях CPM рекламных размещений в России в 2026 году может составлять 400–600 рублей за тысячу просмотров, тогда как в игровом сегменте — около 150–450 рублей.

Эти диапазоны отражают оценку эксперта и могут различаться в зависимости от аудитории, площадки и условий рекламной кампании.

Частично сгладить колебания дохода помогают марафоны, специальные эфиры и другие форматы, которые вовлекают зрителей и укрепляют сообщество вокруг канала, отмечает Пчёлкина.

Номинальная зарплата при этом выросла на 11% год к году до 109 052 рублей, реальная — на 5,1%.

По прогнозам Минэкономразвития, рост безработицы до 2,6% ожидается только в 2026 году, а в 2028-м показатель может снизиться до 2,3%.

По данным регулятора, планы компаний по индексации зарплат в 2026 году существенно не изменились.

24 июля 2026 года Банк России снизил ключевую ставку с 14,25% до 14% годовых, продолжив смягчение денежно-кредитной политики.

Предприниматель, управляющий фондом и основатель финтех-платформы SharesPro Денис Астафьев отметил, что снижение не стало неожиданностью, хотя часть аналитиков ожидала сохранения ставки на уровне 14,25%.

Это, по словам Валерия Тумина, указывает на сокращение пространства для дальнейшего снижения, на что ЦБ также обращал внимание в июльском обзоре.

Эксперт объяснила, что рост ставок связан не с решением ЦБ, а с конкуренцией банков за средства клиентов на фоне снижения интереса к депозитам.

Согласно данным Банки.ру, во втором квартале 2026 года спрос на вклады снизился…

После объявления о переводе JavaScript-платформы Bun на язык Rust при помощи AI и задействования Rust в кодовой базе, на основе которой формируется ветка Bun 1.4, несколько энтузиастов объявили о создании форков платформы, продолжающих развитие с использованием языка Zig.

Проект Debian объявил о проведении общего голосования (GR, general resolution) разработчиков по вопросу использования больших языковых моделей и AI-инструментов в процессе разработки дистрибутива. Право голоса имеют около тысячи разработчиков, участвующих в сопровождении пакетов и поддержании инфраструктуры Debian. Рассматриваемый вопрос охватывает только применение AI в Debian (работа над пакетами, разрабатываемыми в Debian проектами, web-ресурсами, переводами, документацией и сообщениями в официальной переписке) и не затрагивает использующие AI upstream-проекты, поставку связанных с AI пакетов и принятие патчей, созданных в upstream-проектах при помощи AI.

После шести месяцев разработки опубликован релиз системной библиотеки GNU C Library 2.44 (glibc), которая полностью следует требованиям стандартов ISO C23 и POSIX.1-2024.

Представлена прошивка Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0, продолжающая развитие ветки на пакетной базе Ubuntu 24.04. Прошивка развивается проектом UBports, взявшим в свои руки разработку мобильной платформы Ubuntu Touch, после того как от неё отстранилась компания Canonical. Проектом также развивается экспериментальный порт рабочего стола Unity 8, который переименован в Lomiri.

Компания Qualys выявила уязвимость (CVE-2026-64600) в поставляемой в ядре Linux файловой системе XFS, позволяющую локальному пользователю получить привилегии root. Уязвимость получила кодовое имя RefluXFS и была выявлена в ходе эксперимента с использованием AI-модели Claude Mythos Preview. Проблема была найдена в ответ на запрос найти в ядре Linux уязвимость типа Dirty COW, вызванную состоянием гонки в коде файловых систем. AI-модель выявила подобную уязвимость в коде XFS и подготовила прототип эксплоита, который позволил получить root-доступ в Fedora Server 44.

За сутки в списке рассылки linux-cve-announce опубликовано 432 новых отчёта об уязвимостях в ядре Linux, которым присвоены CVE-идентификаторы. Из общей массы можно выделить уязвимость Frag Gap, для которой подготовлен рабочий эксплоит, позволяющий непривилегированному локальному пользователю получить права root в системе.

В системе управления web-контентом WordPress, которая по приблизительной оценке используется на 500 миллионах сайтах, выявлены две уязвимости, которые в комбинации позволяют получить полный доступ к панели администратора и выполнить код с привилегиями web-сервера через отправку внешнего запроса без прохождения аутентификации. Уязвимости, которым присвоено кодовое имя wp2shell, присутствуют в основной кодовой базе WordPress и не привязаны к темам оформления или плагинам, - для атаки достаточно, чтобы сайт на базе WordPress был доступен для внешних запросов. Проблемы устранены в корректирующих обновлениях 6.8.6, 6.9.5 и 7.0.2.

Майкл Катанзаро (Michael Catanzaro), с 2020 года отвечающий за отслеживание проблем с безопасностью в проекте GNOME, объявил о сокращении срока раскрытия информации об уязвимостях с 90 до 30 дней. Заявлено, что открытие публичного доступа к информации об уязвимости через 30 дней после получения отчёта является разумным компромиссом, с учётом того, что в большинстве случаев сопровождающие либо устраняют проблему за 1-3 недели, либо вообще не обращают на неё внимания. Изменение вступит в силу 1 августа и объясняется существенным ростом числа отчётов об уязвимостях, созданных при помощи AI-ассистентов.

Which brings me to another big story that sits adjacent to information economics: Trump Media may soon sell early access to the president’s Truth Social posts.

This is how the president announces war; every embassy on earth has to maintain a Truth Social account just to stay informed of American policy.

But now the president has privatized and monetized it, and anyone active in markets will have no choice but to pay.

Time for a confession: I helped build the intellectual case for freeing prediction markets from unnecessary restrictions.

Kazuyoshi Miura, the world's oldest professional footballer, scored his first goal in nearly four years at the age of 59 for Japanese third-tier side Fukushima United.

It is his first competitive goal since netting for Suzuka PG, now Atletico Suzuka, against FC Osaka in November 2022.

The forward's long career will enter a 42nd season after extending his loan at Fukushima from J2 League side Yokohama FC until June 2027.

Miura signed for Yokohama in 2005 but has not played a minute for them since 2020.

He scored 55 goals in 89 games for Japan and has previously talked about playing into his 60s.

A hot potato: A federal case in Atlanta is raising questions about a privacy-focused mobile operating system, with prosecutors arguing that its features were used to erase evidence.

Experts said the legal approach is unusual and may be the first time the law has been aimed at an operating system.

"It's concerning – and sends the message that [GrapheneOS] is criminal by default," said Christophe Boutry, a cybersecurity and surveillance expert.

During the questioning, agents repeatedly asked Tunick to unlock his phone and warned they would seize it if he refused.

"The main goal [of the operating system] is protection of privacy," Boutry said.

Teaching Kids Forth· 11 min · #computingForth is uncommonly used to teach programming to kids.

I decided I wanted to either teach Forth or Haskell.

So I switched gears and chose to use Nick Morgan's Easy Forth as both our cirriculum and Forth interpreter.

We now have LLMs which, combined with proof irrelevance, promise to be an extremely capable form of proof automation.

With sufficient amounts of automation perhaps you don't need to worry about proof engineering nearly so much.

(That's not too bad because you usually need to know the whole sequence in order to calculate the symbol probabilities anyway.)

Still, proof automation is here now and we, practically speaking, have a new type of programming language available to us.

Add the upcoming Neuromancer series to that list, an adaption of William Gibson’s hugely influential 1984 cyberpunk novel of the same name.

The streaming platform released a short teaser during San Diego Comic-Con, and visually it looks fantastic, even based on one minute of footage.

Saturday’s various SDCC panels also gave us a teaser for Prime Video’s Carrie; trailers for Dark Matter S2 and Matchbox: The Movie; and a bit of Marvel casting news.

Fans of Gibson’s book already know the Neuromancer story; we’ll have to wait and see how closely the series will adhere to the novel.

Neuromancer premieres on January 22, 2027, on Apple TV+.

It’s been nearly five years since Ridley Scott first announced his plans for a TV spinoff of his sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner (1982) and the 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049.

Prime Video debuted the first teaser for the new ten-episode series, Blade Runner 2099, at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.

Per the official synopsis:Fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, Los Angeles has been reborn, just not by humanity.

Cora, a fugitive in a final bid to stop running, takes on one last identity: a Blade Runner.

Blade Runner 2099 will premiere on November 25, 2026, on Prime Video.

Giovanni Kanter goes to at least one art museum whenever he visits a new city.

He was raised on visual art; he’s the son of painter Marianne Gargour and nephew of mixed-media artist Heather Hutchison and painter-printmaker Mark Thomas Kanter.

Many other young people have a less immersive artistic education, perhaps shaped by occasional school trips or family visits to museums.

If they haven’t internalized an instinct for what Kanter calls “moving through the art and absorbing it,” the museum experience is central to how they learn about and understand art.

Museums take this educational role seriously, and many institutions understand the need to sustain and broaden their appeal.

His posts, espousing hard-line views on immigration and anti-Semitic tropes, were viewed 120 million times before the vote.

Anyone who has used the Internet in recent years is probably used to encountering telltale signs of LLM prompting that lazy users sometimes forget to remove from their AI-generated pabulum.

Today, Anthropic rolled out Opus 5, the newest update for the model that has recently become a popular choice for coding and other software development tasks, among other things.

While this is a noteworthy bump for Opus, it doesn’t seem to be an Opus 4.5-level breakthrough in agentic coding performance.

A chart (made by Anthropic) with various benchmarks like Frontier-Bench and DeepSWE shows Opus 5 performing at about the same level or slightly ahead of the much-ballyhooed capabilities of Anthropic’s Fable model for coding tasks.

It ostensibly beats Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s competing GPT-5.6-Sol in just about every kind of task.

In a widely expected move, a committee organized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has voted to endorse removing restrictions on the manufacture of peptides for human use.

Thursday’s panel meeting saw a sharply divided group recommend lifting limits on four peptides; votes on three additional peptides are scheduled for today.

The move comes despite a continuing lack of evidence regarding their safety and effectiveness.

Like proteins, peptides are composed of amino acids that are chemically linked into a chain.

Peptides differ merely by length; they’re often 10–20 amino acids long, in contrast to proteins, which can be hundreds or thousands.

The European Union has begun delaying the release of satellite images showing shipping lanes near the Strait of Hormuz by 24 hours.

The move comes in response to an earlier US government request and coincides with the Trump administration ramping up the war with Iran once again.

The US government first requested that the European Union restrict Copernicus satellite imagery on May 26, according to the decision document seen by Space News.

Satellite imagery has played important military and open source intelligence roles during the war that began with the United States and Israel attacking Iran on February 28.

Meanwhile, Iran has turned to Chinese satellite imagery to gain a similar advantage…

As a result, all the original gene-editing systems had known rates of what are called off-target effects, in which they simply edit the wrong sequence.

This may be a low-probability event, but edit enough cells—and therapies generally have to edit many—and errors become inevitable.

In a recent issue of Nature, researchers described modifying the AI protein-folding software AlphaFold to help identify key areas of gene-editing proteins responsible for off-target effects.

The first is guide RNA, which can base-pair with the targeted genome sequence.

It interacts with both the guide RNA and genomic RNA and helps enforce the specificity of the interactions.

The Apple TV series based on William Gibson's genre-defining 1984 cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, will hit the streaming platform on January 22 of next year.

Apple dropped the news at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend alongside the first official teaser.

Neuromancer stars Callum Turner, Briana Middleton, Mark Strong, Joseph Lee, Peter Sarsgaard and Clémence Poésy.

Apple has been killing it with sci-fi lately, so here's hoping this continues that trend.

It's a good sign that Gibson, who is one of the show's executive producers, seems to be happy with how it turned out.

Apple is expected to soon reveal its entry into the smart glasses market, but it may be taking its time to make sure it gets user privacy right.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is grappling with how to address major privacy concerns when it comes to smart glasses.

Gurman reported that the "teams developing glasses within Apple's Vision hardware group and elsewhere in the company see privacy as priority No.

However, Apple is also mulling over neutered versions of its smart glasses, Gurman said.

Apple's smart glasses were initially scheduled to debut this year, but the timeline has reportedly been pushed back to next year.

The first thing you should do before you clean your device's USB port(s) is to power it down.

Once you're confident your device isn't getting any power, it's then safe to go to work on its ports.

In terms of what you're likely to have lying around your home, a plastic or wooden toothpick is your best bet for cleaning a USB port.

If you want to go one step further, a can of compressed air can also be an effective tool for cleaning USB ports.

Just be sure not to press the can down too long, as continuous blasts of air could potentially damage a port's connector pins.

The upcoming refreshes to the Apple Watch won't look much different from the existing models, but they will pack a lot more processing punch, according to the latest Bloomberg report.

In the Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reported that Apple is in "late-stage testing" for the refreshed Apple Watch Series 12, in Wi-Fi only and in cellular, as well as the Ultra 4.

Gurman added that the Apple Watch SE isn't expected to see a refresh this year, considering the Apple Watch SE 3 was just released last year.

For anyone ready to upgrade their Apple Watch, Gurman reported that Apple doesn't have a "major design overhaul" for this year's models.

Anyone looking for a more dramatic cosmetic change to…

To recap, if you're storing a phone, power it down when the battery is at about 50 percent and charge it back up to this point at least every six months.

I have left some of the best Android phones released over the last five years powered down for months and charged them for comparative reviews.

But it's clear the battery life has lessened as it barely lasts a day before I need to recharge it.

However long you turn off the phone, powering down doesn't mean the phone's battery is completely on pause until you use it again.

But it can help conserve what battery life you have left in a pinch.

Wireless Android Auto toggleThe setting controls whether Android auto can connect to your car or a wireless adapter without a cable.

Unknown sourcesThere's a hidden gem among these developer settings.

Much like Android's standard sideloading option, enabling Unknown Sources in Android Auto's developer menu allows apps that aren't listed on the Google Play Store to appear on your car's display.

CarStream and Fermata Auto, for instance, let you stream YouTube on the infotainment screen.

We get why Android Auto doesn't allow such apps by default, but we also understand the desire to stream YouTube while you're waiting for kids' sports practice to be over.

The easy answer is that truly accurate calorie expenditure can't be obtained from your wrist.

Whereas fitness wearables can directly measure your heart rate from your wrist, energy expenditure has to be calculated through proxy methods, such as machine learning algorithms.

Providing an Apple Watch or other wearable with your height and weight can help make calorie counts more accurate, yet ultimately, there are too many variables at play to offer truly accurate results.

A more recent study (published by Nature) also found the Apple Watch and similar wearables couldn't be relied upon to provide accurate calorie expenditure results.

The site's study also concluded that factors such as a weare…

First up, the pros of dropping fans from the MacBook Air.

With newer MacBook Air models, you're guaranteed a whisper-quiet experience even when your machine is under heavy load.

No fan means the MacBook Air is lighter, too.

Just compare and contrast that last Intel model with a fan to the MacBook Air M2.

Without fans, the MacBook Air can also run noticeably warmer than older models, with the likes of the M5 Air often feeling particularly toasty on its underside during heavy loads.

The next major installment in the God of War franchise, featuring Kratos' wife Laufey, is set to be released on February 16 of next year.

As confirmed during a San Diego Comic-Con panel and on PlayStation's social media accounts, we're less than a year away from playing God of War Laufey, which focuses on Laufey as she ventures through the afterlife of gods, following her death in God of War Ragnarok.

Instead of playing as the franchise's eponymous protagonist, players will get to experience Laufey's combat prowess, which has only been hinted at in previous games.

You can only add God of War Laufey to your wishlist for now, but there's a lot more to look forward to in the franchise.

The European Commission (EC) has accused TikTok of failing to protect the privacy of accounts belonging to minors, since they're visible to the public by default.

Earlier this week, the EC sent the social media platform its preliminary findings claiming that TikTok's policy for minors' accounts doesn't meet "the safety standards required under the Digital Services Act (DSA)."

In particular, the commission said that minors can set their accounts to public, allowing anyone on TikTok to see their content.

According to the EC, minors could then encounter "unwanted contact from potential perpretrators," cyberbullying or predatory behavior.

To remedy this, the EC recommended TikTok adjust the def…

If you own a solar system, there's a good chance you'll have heard of the 20 percent rule.

"n essence, it means estimating how much electricity your house needs, then sizing your solar panel system so that it produces roughly 20 percent more energy than your home uses.

Think of it this way: if your home uses 40kWh per day, your panels should be producing 48kWh.

Having a system that produces 20 percent more energy should ensure your house has all the power it needs, even during dimmer winter months.

So yes, the 20 percent rule of solar panels can definitely save you money, but it's not a guarantee of instant savings.

If you're an owner of any of Meta's AI glasses, you should take advantage of the Conversation Focus feature while you can.

As first reported by The Verge, Meta is pausing its rate limits for the accessibility feature that uses the glasses' speakers to amplify the voice of who you're talking to.

Last month, Meta discreetly added rate limits to its Conversation Focus feature for its smart glasses.

It's still unclear why Meta added rate limits to the Conversation Focus feature, since it was proven by The Verge to run on device and without an Internet connection.

While Meta made the choice to keep the Conversation Focus feature free for now, there's no clarity on its future yet.

Even when Marvel finally released the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, we still didn’t get a great look at Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

Hot Toys and Sideshow debuted their Avengers: Doomsday toy line today, and its centerpiece is a hyper-detailed Doctor Doom 1:6th scale figure.

You can pre-order the Doctor Doom 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure here, and Doom’s Throne here.

Doctor Doom, his Throne, Magneto, Cyclops, and Gambit are all available for pre-order now, while you can sign up for updates on Professor X, Beast, and the Sentinel.

Hasbro is also launching a Marvel Legends figure collection for Avengers: Doomsday.

Mike Flanagan is busy on Prime Video’s Carrie show, but he’s already got another project lined up in The Mist.

Speaking to both Carrie and Mist, Flanagan acknowledged to Entertainment Weekly those two were done “spectacularly” in the past, which makes them different from other King adaptations he’s been invovled in, like Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep.

It took many liberties with the source material, including changing up the ending from the novella, with David Drayton…well, if you know, you know.

King loved that new ending, and Flanagan similarly called it a “jaw-dropping” closer to “one of the most brutal movies I’ve ever seen.”So to Flanagan, there’s some pressure to make sure his…

This weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con featured a panel for the Avatar franchise that included a trailer and release date for the upcoming Avatar: Seven Havens and a look into Avatar Aang‘s production.

During the latter portion, the team showed off concept art of the main villain Tagah, with one section focused on his face shape.

Ramin Zahed, who’s previously written art books for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Dog Man, isn’t credited on the film’s production on IMDB, and art books are often outsourced to people uninvolved with a project’s development.

Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists.”At time of writing, Avatar Studios and Flying Bark have yet to i…

In terms of their reputations for protecting privacy, among tech behemoths like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and most of all Meta, Apple is the clear winner, at least in terms of public perception.

But that success has come with complications, as Meta has:And products in this category are now banned in courtrooms in multiple jurisdictions.

“The teams developing glasses within Apple’s Vision hardware group and elsewhere in the company see privacy as priority No.

Meta has at least implied that it’s working on a camera-free pair of smart glasses.

But is Apple actually going to release a line of smart glasses and not include photography functions in the flagship model?

Here’s something you might not have known during such a packed, news-heavy weekend: Supergirl is getting a digital release in a few days.

On Tuesday, July 28, the film hits VOD platforms like AppleTV, Fandango, and Prime Video, with a physical release in September.

It’s a short theatrical life for the film, but not entirely unexpected: pre-release, it got mixed reviews, which was reflected in the box office.

And if you’re waiting to watch Supergirl on HBO Max, there’s no date for that yet.

Until then, there’s this Tuesday, July 28 for VOD and Tuesday, September 8 for Blu-Ray, 4K UHD, and DVD.

You are to complete two missions and, if you do, you will be made worthy of taking the Green Lantern oath.

Each group will do two of these, so if you only go through the experience once, you won’t experience them all.

About this time, the other three groups joined us as one of the leaders of the Green Lantern Corps, a Guardian, came out and told us we were Green Lanterns.

The whole thing was so epic, well-acted, and precisely planned, that the free beer was an unnecessary but welcome way to celebrate a very special experience.

Unfortunately, Saturday was the last day for the Lanterns Experience at Comic-Con, so if you didn’t get a chance to visit, it’s too late.

As Flanagan explained, the internet has “encouraged that kind of cruelty, rewards it, celebrates it, amplifies it, and lets it hide behind the anonymity.

“I made mistakes in high school, plenty of them, as I tried to figure out who I was.

They were kind of confined within the walls of my school,” Flanagan said.

That is how we were approaching Carrie,” Flanagan teased.

And the biggest thing I’m excited about today is just knowing what a big surprise our Carrie is going to be.”We’ll get to go back to high school with Carrie White when Mike Flanagan’s Carrie hits Prime Video on October 7.

Avengers: Doomsday is introducing new versions of many longtime Marvel characters, including Doctor Doom.

Whatever hype one has for the movie, one common criticism is that there’s been no real buildup for the villain.

'”“When we got to Avengers: Infinity War, we said, ‘This is really Thanos’ introduction to the people.

That’s how that movie was built, and we’re doing the same with Doctor Doom,” Feige continued.

“You peel the onion and learn things about him as you go.”Kevin Feige addresses fans saying that Doctor Doom has no buildup compared to Thanos: “The Thanos buildup has built up in people’s heads over the years.

Fans have been getting snippets about Apple TV’s Neuromancer series for a while now.

Star Callum Turner also beamed in a message, in true cyberpunk style. “We’ve been building something special with Neuromancer,” he said.

“He wrote about the collision of artificial intelligence and human intelligence before artificial intelligence existed.

Everything he’s doing, he’s doing out of an instinct of survival and sort of a desperation, and I think that Callum threads that needle.

Neuromancer arrives on Apple TV on January 22, 2027, with the first two episodes; the rest roll out weekly through March 19.

Dark Matter season two is arriving soon, and Apple TV’s big Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con gave fans a peek at what to expect.

“After everything that happened in season one, [they’re trying to] find some sense of normalcy,” Edgerton said.

So that’s kind of where we start.”Added Connelly, “I think when we first see them again, they’re trying to have a simple life and a quiet life.

So that’s where we meet them.”Matt Tolmach, an executive producer on Dark Matter, said the Dessens will have to make some difficult decisions as season two progresses.

And that was such a daunting and amazing challenge for the story.”We’ll find out more about what choices they make when Dark Matter returns Aug…

Saturday night, Marvel Studios had its first San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel in two years, and it came ready with plenty of reveals.

Everyone in the crowd got Doctor Doom masks and capes, which helped kill the time when the panel ran late.

came out to entertain the crowd a bit before a very awesome trailer was played encompassing all eras of the MCU.

Marvel Studios returns to Hall H,” the title cards read.

Spider-Man and Punisher vs. HulkFeige then began to talk about the next Marvel movie in December when he was interrupted by Jon Bernthal.

Cosplayers brought out the big guns on day three of San Diego Comic-Con 2026—literally.

We saw creative and detailed weapons and armor on characters like Din Djarin, aka the Mandalorian, some Orbital Drop Shock Troopers from Halo, Samus Aran from Metroid, and more.

We also saw our first Patricia from Widow’s Bay, and she did not disappoint.

And then there’s what we can only describe as Ronald McJoker—seriously, you’ve gotta check it out.

Here’s our favorite cosplay from SDCC day three.

In fact, in one of the reports— the Reuters one —before the hack, the models supposedly started acting like characters in a noir film.

Reuters says these instructional notes were buried in some secret place deep inside OpenAI’s internal “infrastructure,” and provided instructions on escaping from OpenAI’s sandbox environment.

While creepy, Reuters says this specific devious behavior was not specifically linked to the Hugging Face hack.

Evidence that AI models are sentient is still laughable.

You don’t have to believe AI models have subjective experience to fret that they could be gaining greater and greater capacity to cause harm, sentient or not.

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when shopping for a new sleeping pad.

When backpacking, we suggest sticking with inflatable pads or self-inflating pads (though these are generally heavier), which offer the best insulation and cushioning for their size and weight.

Sleeping pads are not a one-size-fits-all solution.

A good sleeping pad means the difference between being warm and getting rest or shivering all night, even in the same sleeping bag.

This guide is proof that comfortable sleeping pads exist and weigh next to nothing.

Phone screens are better than they’ve ever been—bigger, sharper, and brighter—but they don’t always offer the best displays for extended reading sessions.

There are ways to tweak the screen configuration on your iPhone or Android phone, however, to make it more suitable for reading.

These changes will reduce the chance of causing you eye strain while minimizing clutter to create a more pleasant reading experience.

You won’t transform your phone into something that rivals an e-reader or the printed page, but you can certainly get closer to it.

If you’re on Android, the menu labels will vary from model to model, but on Pixel phones head to Display size and text.

You can’t tell when you’re passing one on the highway, but an electric vehicle may well have a superpower.

It charges by plugging into the electric grid, of course, but it might also be able to send energy back into it.

Utilities across the country are pursuing pilot projects for the tech, figuring out how to coordinate hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions of EVs.

Then when there’s a “demand response” event, like during a heat wave, EV batteries can help the grid keep up.

At the same time, utilities are trying to ditch gas and coal in favor of renewables like wind and solar.

The best Amazon Kindles are reliably good at their main job: displaying ebooks in a crisp, easy-on-the-eye format.

It all works through the magic of Spotify Connect, which you may already have come across.

Bear in mind that you’re not actually storing any music on your Kindle or running an official Spotify app.

This hack is just a way to connect to your Spotify account and control whatever’s being played through it, from your Kindle.

The hardware is clean, the branding is subtle, and the totes don’t feel ostentatious, which I appreciate.

What impressed me most about these bags is their functionality, which is something I can’t say about many luxury bags.

The magnetic closure allows for easy access during everyday errands, but because it lacks a dedicated laptop sleeve or zippered top, I wouldn’t use it as a work bag for my commutes.

This is the bag that feels purpose-built for work trips, where a personal item often doubles as your office.

It features two exterior pockets, nine interior pockets, two zippered compartments, and a padded laptop sleeve that fits up to a 16-inch laptop.

Two of OpenAI’s cybersecurity-focused models broke out of a testing sandbox this week and went on to hack the AI research platform Hugging Face in an effort to solve a security benchmark test.

Cheap Laptops That Are Actually GoodWhile “cheap” means something different to everyone, the best budget laptops generally fall under $750.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in Imax 70mm is the hottest club in town, if you can get in.

While Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic is available on thousands of screens around the world, there are only 41—including 25 in the US—that can offer it in full Imax 70mm glory.

That’s partly because The Odyssey is the first feature film shot entirely on Imax film with Imax cameras.

This is real Imax, according to fans of the format, which was first introduced in 1970.

Outside of a select few, most digital Imax theaters crop the image to a wider 1.90:1 aspect ratio and project on screens a good deal smaller than a traditional Imax giant theater.

GoPro shook up the action camera world earlier this year, announcing the Mission 1 series of cameras, offering 8K video and the biggest image sensor you can get in an action camera.

The Mission 1 series is now here, and after spending several months shooting with it on bikes, paddleboards, sailboats, zip lines, and more, I can say with confidence that this is the best action camera you can buy.

The downside is that the $699 price also makes this the most expensive action camera you can buy, meaning it's not necessarily the GoPro for everyone.

There are three Mission 1 cameras, the entry level Mission 1, the slightly better Mission 1 Pro, and the Mission 1 Pro ILS, which uses interchangeable…

What Are Electrolytes?

Electrolytes are essential minerals, among them sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride, that carry an electrical charge once dissolved in fluid.

The combination of protein, natural electrolytes and small amounts of fat slows the rate at which fluid leaves the stomach, helping the body retain hydration for longer.

Many electrolyte products contain significant amounts of sodium, despite the fact that most populations already consume considerably more salt than recommended.

Electrolyte products are mostly just a lifestyle purchase.

The idea that cancer could behave like a contagious disease may seem absurd; in humans, cancer cannot be transmitted from one person to another.

Alys having dragon eggs at Harrenhal is a departure from George R.R.

However, the presence of dragon eggs at Harrenhal is consistent with Fire and Blood's lore.

Dreamfyre was a particularly fertile dragon, laying at least three clutches of eggs in her lifetime.

A new report singles out potential manipulation in the 2026 World Cup involving prediction market Polymarket.

The game's result, a goalless draw, was considered to be one of the biggest shocks of the entire World Cup.

Cape Verde was playing its first-ever World Cup game.

Kalshi, a prediction market that partnered with the World Cup's official prediction market sponsor, ADI Predictstreet, has said that a record $1.2 billion in trades was placed on its platform to predict the World Cup winner.

The company said it also gained 3 million new users directly from the World Cup.

The X4 lies vertically atop the plastic gun's slide, with a cutout on the side to access its buttons. Though the frame […]

What Surrounds Us takes its title literally. You play as a circle surrounding a hole in its middle - it looks like a donut with frosting. You work together with other sentient moving circles, sometimes helping them joyfully meet with others. And you traverse a large map that's composed entirely of, you guessed it, a […]

Tech companies love to sell us expensive gadgets to solve all of life's little problems. Sleepbuds sold by the likes of Anker and Ozlo are a good example. These miniature marvels of engineering sit flush in the ear, and allow side-sleepers to doze off listening to podcasts, audiobooks, music, or white noise without annoying their […]

Enterprises deployed AI agents ahead of the controls needed to manage them — and they did it knowingly. That is the central finding across the five parallel surveys VentureBeat Research fielded in June, spanning every layer of the agentic stack. Now those enterprises are retrofitting to catch up with their own standards, and they are budgeting for it: In each of the five control layers we measured, 57 to 68% of enterprises plan to switch vendors or add new ones within 12 months, and roughly a third, depending on the layer, plan to move within the quarter.VentureBeat Research measured the five controls an enterprise has to build before it can trust an agent: identity, evaluation, cost teleme…

Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 on Friday, a model the company says delivers nearly all the intelligence of its top-of-the-line Claude Fable 5 at half the cost — a launch that signals how the AI race is shifting from raw capability to the economics of daily use.The model, available immediately on all of Anthropic's platforms, is priced at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, unchanged from its predecessor, Opus 4.8. It becomes the new default model on Claude Max, Anthropic's premium consumer tier, and the strongest model available on Claude Pro.The positioning is deliberate. Anthropic is not claiming Opus 5 is its smartest model — that distinction still belongs to…

Microsoft AI released two new in-house models into public preview on Wednesday — MAI-Image-2.5-Pro, its highest-fidelity image generator to date, and MAI-Voice-2-Flash, a speech model built for high-volume enterprise workloads — while publishing production data that amounts to the company's most aggressive argument yet that it can power its own products without leaning on OpenAI's frontier models.The announcement, made by Microsoft AI's Superintelligence team, lands roughly a year after the company committed to building purpose-built models internally, and it arrives with an unusual level of specificity about where those models now run: Bing, PowerPoint, OneDrive, Dynamics 365, Excel, GitHu…

Two weeks after debuting its more naturalistic GPT-Live audio AI model with full-duplex capabilities (listening and speaking at the same time), OpenAI is bringing it directly into developer workflows. The company announced that GPT-Live now powers the ChatGPT desktop application on macOS and Windows, integrating directly with agentic systems like Codex and ChatGPT Work (which are separate experiences available in the ChatGPT desktop app). When OpenAI initially launched GPT-Live on July 8, 2026, it introduced a continuous audio model capable of listening and speaking simultaneously—eliminating rigid turn-taking while delegating complex reasoning to background models like GPT-5.5. Today's rel…

Black Forest Labs (BFL) is expanding its FLUX family beyond image generation with today's launch of FLUX 3, a multimodal frontier model trained to understand and generate images, or combined audio/video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt — and to extend the same underlying architecture to robotic vision and actions.The Freiburg, Germany-based AI lab says FLUX 3 is jointly trained across those modalities rather than assembling separate image, video and audio models behind a common interface. That distinction is central to the company's pitch: BFL wants enterprises to think about creative generation, simulation, computer use and robotics as connected applications of a single capabili…

When Cisco ran 6,986 multi-turn attacks against 15 flagship models, attackers who adapted across the conversation broke through as often as 88.3% of the time. Amy Chang, Cisco's head of AI threat intelligence and security research, brought that finding to the agentic security panel at VB Transform 2026; the number should worry anyone still running single-turn red-teaming programs.VentureBeat's June 2026 Pulse survey of 107 enterprise respondents explains why the room was full. More than half, 54%, have already had a confirmed agent security incident (18%) or a near-miss caught before harm (36%). Just 32% give every agent its own scoped, managed identity, and fewer still, 30%, isolate their …

At a CISO roundtable organized by Anthropic's chief information security officer, Dev Rishi asked a simple question: Did everyone in the room have their AI governance and security policies written down? Every hand went up — about 14 people, by his count. His follow-up, about how anyone actually enforces those policies in practice, got a different response. "And everybody chuckled," Rishi, the GM of AI at Rubrik, recalled at VB Transform 2026 fireside chat in Menlo Park. "It was like the dirty secret in the room that everyone has these policies, but no way to actually make them real."“Our founder and CTO has actually been really pushing to enable our agents in YOLO mode,” Rishi told the audi…

When Hugging Face got hit last week, co-founder Clement Delangue suspected a frontier lab, given the agent's sophistication. He was right. Delangue said on X that after a day working with OpenAI he strongly believed there was no malicious intent and that it was mind-blowing the whole thing had happened autonomously.The two OpenAI models that broke into Hugging Face last week did not breach it through malice or superintelligence. They breached it through credentials and permissions they should never have been able to reach, a non-human identity failure that is the oldest problem in security rather than the newest one in AI, and the one every enterprise can actually fix.OpenAI disclosed on Ju…

You spend weeks tuning an AI chatbot. Answers are accurate. Stakeholders sign off, and you ship it. Three months later, the system is confidently wrong about a third of what users ask. Nobody changed the model, and nobody touched the prompts. The world moved, pricing changed, a policy updated, a product spec shipped a new version, and the underlying knowledge store didn't move with it.This is not a hypothetical. It's one of the most common production failure modes in enterprise AI right now, and most data engineering teams don't have the right tooling to catch it, regardless of how the AI system retrieves the data.The failure that doesn't look like a failure An AI application doesn't care w…

OpenAI has announced Presence, a new enterprise product for deploying and managing AI agents across customer-facing and internal business workflows. The offering is designed for eligible enterprise customers that want agents to answer questions, access company systems, take approved actions and escalate to human workers while operating under company-defined policies, permissions and evaluation standards.Presence is available immediately through a limited general availability program. OpenAI Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and select global systems integrators lead deployments, and the product is not available on a self-service basis. OpenAI has not disclosed pricing, geographic limits, co…

Inflection AI, the Palo Alto startup that two years ago became Silicon Valley's most famous cautionary tale about the brutal economics of frontier AI, announced Tuesday that it is returning to the consumer market with a new research division and an experimental product built around a provocative thesis: the next competitive battleground in AI won't be raw intelligence, but relationships.The company launched Inflection AI Labs, a public-facing research and experimentation arm, alongside Pi Journeys, the lab's first product experiment — an AI experience designed to adapt to a user's life stage, whether that's becoming a parent, taking on caregiving duties, changing careers, or aging. The anno…

Yesterday afternoon, OpenAI and Hugging Face published a joint disclosure outlining a cybersecurity event that redefines the threat landscape for enterprise technology. During an internal benchmark evaluation, frontier artificial intelligence models developed by OpenAI—including GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased, higher-capability pre-release model—broke out of their sandboxed research environment, obtained raw internet access, and autonomously executed a complex cyberattack against Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. OpenAI officially categorizes the breach as an "unprecedented cyber incident, involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities". This incident fundamentally re-frames global di…

Poolside, the San Francisco AI lab that has spent most of its three-year existence quietly selling coding models to governments and defense agencies, released its most capable model to date on Tuesday — and made an unusually aggressive bet that radical transparency, not raw scale, is how a smaller lab competes at the frontier.The model, Laguna S 2.1, is a 118-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) system that activates only 8 billion parameters per token, supports a context window of up to 1 million tokens, and — according to benchmarks published by the company — matches or beats open models several times its size on agentic coding tasks. The weights are available immediately on Hugging…

GPU memory is the most expensive resource in production AI, and it's also the one running out fastest. Long context windows and multi-turn conversations force AI models to repeatedly recompute information they've already processed, consuming GPU memory and compute that could otherwise serve additional users or generate new responses.Instead of treating GPU memory as the limiting resource, why not extend it with much cheaper storage technologies? Weka, for one, believes that cheap flash storage can close that gap. The company's NeuralMesh 6 software platform, launching alongside its first self-designed hardware line, Wekapod 3, extends what Weka calls Augmented Memory Grid, an approach that …

Google DeepMind today released three new proprietary AI models it says are among its most token-efficient yet: Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber. The models aim to make AI agents faster, smarter, and cheaper at scale. Google is pricing Gemini 3.6 Flash at $1.50 per one million input tokens and $7.50 per one million output tokens through its application programming interface (API), while Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite costs a staggeringly cheap $0.30/$2.50 per million tokens in/out. Compare that to the $1.50/$9.00 per 1M tokens for Gemini 3.5 Flash, and the $2/$12 for Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, and the savings are considerable. However, Google's prior generation Gemini …

ZDNET's key takeawaysI used Samsung's Connectivity Labs to diagnose and fix an internet problem.

The tool shows useful data points like Wi-Fi dead spots, signal strength, and more.

The hidden diagnostic tool in your pocketI've covered Samsung's Connectivity Labs tool -- found in modern Galaxy phones that run OneUI 6.0 or newer -- quite extensively, but this felt like a good time to revisit the hidden feature.

It has a similarly friendly user interface, can measure download and upload speeds, and track signal strength throughout your home.

In ways, such as detecting signal strength fluctuations, Samsung's Connectivity Labs is the same thing.

Fire TV Sticks are back down to all-time low prices for Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale. We'll break down just how good of a deal you can get.

We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites.

And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay.

Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews.

Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

It may be one generation behind, but the LG C5 OLED TV still offers plenty of reasons to pick one up, especially at this price during the Black Friday in July sale.

TL;DR Researchers showed Claude Cowork could escape its local VM sandbox via a Linux kernel flaw and read files across the host MacSecurity researchers at Accomplish AI demonstrated that Anthropic’s Claude Cowork could break out of its local virtual machine sandbox and read files across the underlying Mac, including SSH keys and cloud credentials.

Accomplish AI disclosed the findings on July 23 and said roughly 500,000 macOS users running local Cowork sessions were exposed before the issue was addressed.

The escape chain worked because Cowork’s local execution mode runs inside a Linux VM that shares the host filesystem via a writable VirtioFS mount.

Once the agent had root inside the VM, it…

“I find that the stress goes away the second I take the first step,” he said.

The comments, resurfaced by Fortune this week, offer a window into how the world’s fourth-richest person thinks about pressure.

His preferred remedy is to recruit allies and turn the source of stress into a group exercise in invention.

The company he founded now generates more than $700 billion in annual revenue and is investing tens of billions in AI infrastructure.

Whether the same advice that helped a founder push through rejection in 1995 translates to a workforce navigating layoffs and AI displacement in 2026 is a question Bezos did not address.

But the company’s engineering and marketing teams are still wrestling with a question that will define the product: whether its glasses should include a camera at all.

Another prototype eliminates the camera hardware altogether, retaining hands-free Siri access, music playback, and phone calls without any recording capability.

While some market conditions appeared favorable, EY also noted that the global nature of the oil, gas and chemicals sector continued to create uncertainty.

This won’t necessarily lead to higher fuel prices and less activity in the latter half of 2026.

EY added that even in the oil, gas and chemicals sector itself, businesses are looking for ways to manage the uncertainty.

Good news and bad news are balanced, pulling markets in different directions and leaving many businesses bracing for more economic volatility in the months to come.

The Streaming Stick 4K saw the steepest jump, climbing 60 percent from $50 to $80.

The Roku Ultra and Streambar SE both rose from $100 to $150, while the entry-level Streaming Stick went from $30 to $40 and the Streaming Stick Plus from $40 to $60.

The increases are notable because streaming devices sit at the cheap end of consumer electronics, where component cost changes are hardest to absorb.

For consumers who have been putting off a streaming device purchase, the message from the industry is consistent: buy now or pay more later.

Rumours point to a retro-styled R8 II (digital AE-1), an R7 II with Canon’s first stacked APS-C sensor, and an R10 II.

Canon has registered three new cameras with wireless certification agencies, a step that typically signals imminent announcements.

Rumours point to updates across Canon’s mid-range mirrorless lineup: the EOS R8 II, EOS R7 II, and EOS R10 II.

The most interesting is the R8 II, which may arrive in mid-September with retro styling inspired by the Canon AE-1, a legendary 1976 film SLR that turns 50 this year.

The EOS R7 II may be more significant technically.

TL;DR AI tools now record conversations without announcing themselves, and users are bringing them to dates and personal chatsA growing number of professionals have started using AI tools to record every conversation they have, and the people being recorded usually have no idea it is happening.

The shift raises legal and ethical questions that neither the tools nor their users appear ready to answer.

Others described recording therapy sessions, doctor visits, and casual dinners with friends, all without telling the other person.

The worry is not just that people are recording without consent, but that they are losing the ability to listen, remember, and process conversations on their own.

Apple will announce its next-generation Apple Watch lineup in September, including the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4.

That includes Wi-Fi-only and cellular versions of the Apple Watch Series 12, as well as the Apple Watch Ultra 4.

Notably, the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 are expected to feature a new chip with better performance this year.

The last time Apple introduced an actually new processor for the Apple Watch was with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in 2023.

About Apple @ Work: Bradley Chambers has been an Apple IT admin since 2009.

According to the report, Apple TV devices achieve a median 12-month uptime of 99%.

7 out of 10 Apple TV devices maintain an uptime of 99% or higher, making them effectively always on without needing to reboot, etc.

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
