В банке говорят, что изучают разные варианты.

До этой даты сервис рекомендовал пользователям потратить деньги с баланса или вывести их на счета в российских банках.

Так за символическую плату я стал обладателем двух герметично запаянных модулей с маркировкой «Блок №20» на крышках.

Печатная плата из одностороннего фольгированного стеклотекстолита крепится внутри блока на стойках, припаянных к стенкам и дну корпуса.

Самым простым решением термостабилизации работы кварцевого генератора является термостатирование, когда внутри корпуса генератора с помощью датчика температуры, нагревательного элемента и теплоизоляции поддерживается стабильная температура.

Ананас, ТУРБО, Jmix, Odoo, lsFusion и другие альтернативы: что предлагали, где обсуждались и что о них известно сейчасВ октябре 2026 года на Хабре появилась статья «Как умрет 1С».

За все время существования 1С появлялись и исчезали открытые учетные платформы, альтернативные ERP и инструменты разработки бизнес‑приложений на других языках.

Я собрал проекты из старых обсуждений и посмотрел, что с ними стало сегодня: какие продукты выпускаются, где применяются и сколько пользователей называют сами разработчики.

В интервью о Rudoo и MK.Lab обсуждают консорциум разработчиков, модули и интеграцию с 1С.

А это дофига всего интересного: атомы, многие вирусы, некоторые бактерии, гены — всё это ну никак нельзя увидеть глазами.

Фотоаппарат смотрит на всё это и в конце выдаёт вам красивую чб фотку.

Увы, мы не в Японии и даже не в РАН.

Так он будет отражать от себя все электроны, и по тому, как и куда они разлетаются, микроскоп поймёт, какой формы муравей.

Важным преимуществом перед электронными ключами является то, что PaperKey каждый сможет изготовить самостоятельно, и он сможет прослужить не один десяток лет.

Что такое PaperKeyPaperKey — бумажная карточка размером с банковскую, на которой с двух сторон расположена таблица со случайным заполнением клеток.

Как изготовитьИзготовить карточку крайне просто (подробная инструкция с фотографиями):Сгенерировать её с помощью генератора и распечатать.

За счёт того, что карточка двусторонняя, её можно разделить.

Это позволяет хранить её в двух местах, что защитит её от кражи.

Шанс есть, только если вы докажете, что в момент подписания были не в себе (буквально).

Задайте себе вопрос: «А я вообще хочу сейчас менять работу?» Одно дело, если вы и так планировали увольняться по собственному желанию.

Вам нужно отлучиться по делам, вы по старой дружбе предупреждаете руководителя: «Отлучусь, потом отработаю».

Так что железное правило: если вы отказались от увольнения по соглашению сторон, никакого запаха алкоголя на территории компании, даже в нерабочее время.

На первом круге на это ведутся те, кто выгорел, давно хотел свалить или просто растерялся.

Это не теоретические советы и не истории успеха из книг, а то, через что я прошел сам.

И это с учетом, что я работал на себя, сам строил график и занимался тем, что мне нравится.

Я не знал, как строить маршруты, пока не свозил первых клиентов.

Я не знал историю фортов, пока не купил книгу и не прочитал ее.

Я не знал, как организовать график, пока заказы не стали прилетать каждый день.

А зря: она объясняет, почему табличка «интервал 10 минут» и ваши реальные пятнадцать минут на ветру — не взаимоисключающие вещи.

Не в половине случаев, как хотелось бы, а в девяноста процентах.

В длинном интервале он ждёт в среднем 9 минут, в коротком 1.

Вы приходите на остановку не в случайный интервал, а в случайный момент времени, а моменты времени свалены в основном в длинных интервалах.

Почти — потому что трекер, как мы помним, иногда просто отваливается, и автобус исчезает с карты.

Японские разработчики позиционировали Sony CLIE PEG-UX50 не просто как ещё один КПК, а как мультимедийный карманный компьютер со встроенным модулем Вluеtoоth и операционной системой Рalm ОS 5 на борту.

Компании-разработчики соревновались не только в скорости процессоров и объёме памяти, но и в том, сколько полезных возможностей удастся уместить в девайс, который не придётся носить в отдельном чемодане.

Но Sony и не пыталась уменьшить ноутбук до размеров наладонника: компания искала способ сделать карманный компьютер более универсальным, не жертвуя его главным преимуществом — мобильностью.

Преимущество заключалось не в площади экрана, а в сочетании высокого для КПК разрешения, широкого форма…

За годы работы с системами Mac и Windows я обнаружил много неожиданных и странных различий в их принципах работы с клавиатурами.

Отличия есть и в классических профессиональных приложениях вроде Cubase или Pro Tools — но в целом таких случаев становится всё меньше.

(Например, Paste выполняется через ⌃V в Windows и через ⌘V на Mac.)

Функциональные клавишиФункциональные клавиши есть как в Windows, так и в Mac.

Это означает, что в Windows с комбинациями на основе Ctrl+Alt нужно быть столь же осторожными, как и в Mac c комбинациями на основе ⌥.

Нет, она не в странном разбросе ядер, а в банальной доступности приложений.

Всё потому, что в Nokia не верили в то, что переворот от кнопок к сенсору произойдет настолько быстро, и не успели адаптировать систему под новое управление.

Некогда главная ОС в истории смартфонов начала умирать, и ей в этом активно помогало руководство Nokia в целом и лично Стивен Элоп (кризис-менеджер из Microsoft) в частности.

Только смартфон вышел уже после того, как Стивен Элоп в том числе публично объявил об уходе Nokia в сторону Windows.

А что случилось дальше с Nokia, вы, в общем-то, и сами знаете.

Я пишу вам эти строки из горящего танка дома — примерно так могла бы начинаться эта статья, если бы я слепо следовал инструкциям на упаковке.

И я, блин, не ошибся.

Продолжим думать, что я всё ещё идиот и увидел, что попкорн подозрительно дымиться за стеклом.

Не хотелось бы что бы подобное испытали мои дети.

Однако в перспективе, оттого что в кузнице не было гвоздя, эта маленькая ошибка может привести к большим человеческим жертвам.

Задумывались ли вы когда-нибудь о том, как разработчики 3D-игр умудрялись выжимать красивую графику из слабого железа в 90-х годах?

В 320x200 Pentium 66 ещё мог кое-как справиться с простой сценой без особого овердрава (как в Quake 1), но в 640x480 и 800x600 FPS падал в однозначные значения.

Учтите что GL/D3D были ещё глупыми, и на каждый такой проход приходилось снова и снова трансформировать и клипать геометрию, что било и по филлрейту, и по процессору, а объём отрисованных треугольников увеличивался почти вдвое!

Само по себе освещение в реальном времени не было прям таким уж тяжелым в те годы, но его использовали очень мало.

Тут было две техники: либо использование честных Spotlight'ов (…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Итак, у вас на руках iPhone 18 Pro или 18 Pro Max.

Пять портов, четыре из которых Type-C и один Type-A:160 Вт общей мощи, максимум 140 Вт на один порт.

Но аналоги есть и у Satechi, и у UGREEN, и вообще у всех вроде Belkin, Magssory, VLP или Native Union.

По сути, вам подойдёт любой блок питания с Type-C с поддержкой Power Delivery, который окажется удобным для вас по тем или иным причинам.

В этом случае умные чипы в айфоне и самом блоке питания не дадут мощности больше, чем требуется.

Алюминиевый плеер с характерным колесом пока существует лишь на рендерах и на бумаге.

Конечно же, на него можно будет загружать свою музыку и воспроизводить из неназванных стримингов.

Предварительно забронировать устройство можно в США, Канаде, Великобритании, Австралии и Новой Зеландии всего за $50.

Представлен выпуск свободной UNIX-подобной операционной системы OpenBSD 8.0. Проект OpenBSD был основан Тэо де Раадтом (Theo de Raadt) в 1995 году после конфликта с разработчиками NetBSD, в результате которого для Тэо был закрыт доступ к CVS репозиторию NetBSD. После этого Тэо де Раадт с группой единомышленников создал на базе дерева исходных текстов NetBSD новую открытую операционную систему, главными целями развития которой стали переносимость (поддерживается 13 аппаратных платформ), стандартизация, корректная работа, проактивная безопасность и интегрированные криптографические средства. Размер полного установочного ISO-образа базовой системы OpenBSD 8.0 составляет 794 МБ.

После 11 месяцев разработки опубликован выпуск инструментария CRIU 4.3 (Checkpoint and Restore In Userspace), предназначенного для сохранения и восстановления процессов в пространстве пользователя. Инструментарий позволяет сохранить состояние одного или группы процессов, а затем возобновить работу с сохранённой позиции, в том числе после перезагрузки системы или на другом сервере без разрыва уже установленных сетевых соединений. Код проекта написан на языке Си и распространяется под лицензией GPLv2. CRIU применяется в таких системах управления контейнерами, как OpenVZ, LXC/LXD и Docker. Необходимые для работы CRIU изменения включены в основной состав ядра Linux.

После двух месяцев разработки Линус Торвальдс представил релиз ядра Linux 7.3.

В механизме создания файловых систем в пространстве пользователя FUSE повышена производительность и сокращено потребление памяти при использовании системы асинхронного ввода/вывода io_uring.

Компания Anthropic объявила об успешном определении происхождения исходных seed-параметров, задающих форму эллиптических кривых ECDSA P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384 и P-521, стандартизированных Национальным институтом стандартов и технологий США (NIST). Воссозданный AI-моделью Claude алгоритм генерации seed-параметров подтверждает надёжность ECDSA и опровергает популярную конспирологическую теорию о том, что исходные параметры для стандартизированных эллиптических кривых, изначально разработанных в АНБ, были специально подобраны для оставления слабых мест, компрометирующих алгоритмы цифровой подписи ECDSA.

Джейк Арчибальд (Jake Archibald), участвующий в разработке Firefox, провёл исследование, в котором сравнил форматы JPEG XL и AVIF, используя стандартный кодек libavif, стандартный кодек libjxl и новый кодек jixel, написанный на Rust и задействованный в Firefox и Chrome. Форматы тестировались в одинаковых условиях, которые включали кодирование с потерями, а для анализа результатов использовались показатели SSIMULACRA2, определяющие степень отличия от исходного изображения без потерь. В большинстве тестов формат AVIF показал лучшие результаты и при аналогичном уровне качества позволял создавать файлы меньшего размера, которые требовали меньше процессорного времени для сжатия и распаковки.

Эксплуатация уязвимости продемонстрирована в окружении на базе гипервизора KVM, но так как уязвимость вызвана ошибкой не в гипервизоре, а в механизме обработки сетевых пакетов ядром Linux, потенциально эксплоит может быть адаптирован и для других гипервизоров и механизмов изоляции, в которых используется штатный сетевой стек Linux.

Опубликован релиз свободной загрузочной прошивки Libreboot 26.10, который получил статус стабильного выпуска. Проект развивает готовую сборку проекта Coreboot, предоставляющую замену проприетарным прошивкам UEFI и BIOS, отвечающим за инициализации CPU, памяти, периферийных устройств и других компонентов оборудования, с минимизацией бинарных вставок.

Линус Торвальдс принял участие в дискуссии по поводу отмены тега "Assisted-by", которым предписано помечать изменения, подготовленные с использованием AI-ассистентов. Участники конференции Maintainers Summit договорились удалить из правил оформления патчей требование по использованию данного тега, но при обсуждении патча, вносящего изменение в документацию, разработчик Лоран Пиншар (Laurent Pinchart) выступил против удаления.

OverviewTwo cached bucket pointers, one freed tree.

PHP's session.upload_progress handler ( php_session_rfc1867_callback in ext/session/session.c) caches two raw zval * bucket pointers into live HashTables: post_bytes_processed and current_file_bytes_processed .

Press [SOURCE] above to walk the full bundle: the trigger request, both PoC chains, the extraction harness, and the validated per-build symbol deltas.

A single fast multipart POST arms both caches; a second update() re-reads the session file and zend_hash_update destroys the previous decoded tree through its HashTable destructor zval_ptr_dtor .

The freed bucket is then reclaimed and the stale pointer lands an attacker-shaped zend_fc…

Setting up SSH keys on macOS with Touch IDIn the first part of this post I’ll show a simple, secure way to create an SSH key on Mac (it’s 3 commands, including support for GitHub).

Step 1: create the identity that you’ll use on this Mac:sc_auth create-ctk-identity -l ssh-key -k p-256-ne -t bio # run once to create identityYou’ll be prompted to touch “Touch ID”.

When ssh-add is first called with -S , the _sk_load_resident_keys routine is called, which returns the public keys of all resident keys on the FIDO-style authenticator.

Those are stored in the SSH agent (alongside their corresponding provider, namely ssh-keychain.dylib ) and will later be offered as candidates to any remote SSH serv…

Below, we preview some of the data we’ve collected from applying attack surface reduction techniques to large open-source codebases using Claude.

Automated attack surface analysis and reduction techniques aim to discover unnecessary attack surfaces, then move that code behind an appropriate gate.

There are numerous ways to reduce the attack surface of code.

The techniques outlined in this post offer only a very limited view into what is possible in attack surface reduction.

We encourage organizations to explore using Claude to analyze and reduce the attack surface of the software they depend on.

NetWasm is an independent compiler, CoreLib, runtime and SDK that compiles C# and .NET CIL directly to WebAssembly.

A freely floating particle could be found in any location in the universe, so its Hilbert space must span an infinite number of dimensions.

No matter which measurement you intend to make, the underlying Hilbert space remains the same.

Any space with these two features, no matter its size or origin, was a Hilbert space.

This kind of space is made up of the things you could do to a Hilbert space, such as slicing it up in different ways or rotating one slice into another.

Von Neumann himself helped develop it as a potential remedy for some logical inconsistencies with Hilbert space that troubled him.

The security firm went on to say it has confirmed that the vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, are real.

Elon Musk said Tuesday that he would like to see the consolidation of his business empire by formally merging his two largest companies, SpaceX and Tesla.

At the request of shareholders of each company, Musk said both SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees of “independent directors” to discuss the idea of a merger.

“I’m a conflicted party; I can’t actually be in the discussions of the special committees,” Musk said.

Those committees have not reached an agreement on the terms of a merger transaction, Musk said.

Police in Guinea-Bissau raided the offices of Danish researchers on Monday, seizing doses of hepatitis B vaccine intended for a vaccine trial for newborns.

International health experts have called the trial “unethical,” but anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has attempted to fund it with US taxpayer dollars.

Aaby and Stabell Benn are controversial vaccine researchers who claim vaccines cause overlooked harms.

They have been repeatedly praised by Kennedy, but are currently under investigation for alleged scientific misconduct by Danish authorities.

That future console price range is based on what has “internally been projected” at the company, according to Fortune.

But the price for consumers could come down if “Microsoft decides to subsidize the cost,” the outlet says, as many console makers have done in the past.

While a $1,200 starting price would be historically high for the game console market, even accounting for inflation, it also reflects a new normal: The slowdown in Moore’s Law and AI-driven component shortages mean cutting-edge gaming hardware just isn’t as cheap as it used to be.

This year, the Steam Machine broke the $1,000 starting price, while the 2-year-old technology in the PlayStation 5 Pro is now going for $900, and…

Hoping to quell criticism, Meta has dropped the word “train” from its “streamlined” commercial terms of service that kick in on October 30.

Last week, Meta faced backlash after legal experts warned that the tech giant’s sweeping new commercial terms of service seemed to give Meta permission to endlessly scrape websites linked on business pages.

Talking to Nieman Lab, experts suggested that Meta could possibly use the policy to avoid millions in licensing fees from news organizations by requiring all business users to share a wealth of AI training data simply for running a business page.

A Meta spokesperson confirmed that Meta did not alert users to the changed language following backlash.

Google kicked off 2026 with the addition of Personal Intelligence to Gemini, allowing its AI to pull in more of your data to formulate answers.

Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence to Android Auto and Google Built-in, and it is still, thankfully, an optional feature.

Since Google has so much of your data already, it sees Personal Intelligence as a differentiator versus other AI systems.

Personal Intelligence is beginning its rollout in Android Auto today, and it will come to vehicles with Google built-in in the next few months.

As an aside, “Google built-in” is questionable branding, but it refers to cars that run Google software in the infotainment system rather than projecting an i…

OpenBSD 8.0 is here, marking the project’s 61st release and continuing its schedule of semiannual releases dating back to 1996.

Some of the major updates noted in the release newsletter are as follows:Added support for Intel Arc A-Series (DG2/Alchemist) graphics cards.

512GB kernel virtual address space on AMD64, up from 4GB, allowing VRAM mapping above 4GB.

The new OpenBSD also retires support for Loongson architecture after the port stopped working with the Clang 22 compiler.

If you’re interested in reading over all the changes that come with the new OpenBSD 8.0, you can take a look at the release announcement.

Security personnel around the world are on high alert Tuesday following the discovery of eight TLS certificates with private keys so weak they could allow anyone to mint trusted browser and app credentials for any site on the Internet.

As of late morning Tuesday, browser makers and some major apps and programming languages had blocked all eight of the intermediate certificates.

There are no reports of certificate transparency logs, which track the issuance of all browser-trusted certificates, showing the compromised keys being used maliciously.

The threat remains far from over, however, because it will be hard and time-consuming to update other key parts of the Internet, such as Linux distr…

TP-Link yesterday announced plans to assemble Wi-Fi routers in the US, as the company attempts to get the Trump administration’s approval to sell its newest routers to American consumers.

The timing is uncertain, as TP-Link’s press release said it expects US-based assembly to begin “as early as” 2027.

TP-Link’s application to sell new routers in the US could be rejected by the Trump administration or remain pending long enough to push the US-based assembly to 2028.

Previous TP-Link routers that were already approved for import and sale are still available.

TP-Link’s plan to assemble routers in the US will still require it to import components, but the company hopes investment in the US will…

It has been 13 years since the debut of a new medium-lift rocket in the United States, the Antares vehicle developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation.

The initial 100-series variant of the Antares rocket was kind of a hot mess.

The Antares vehicle is the last of a dying breed of medium-lift rockets—defined as having a lift capacity of 2 to 20 metric tons—in the United States.

Four forthcoming rockets all have engines built by the rocket’s manufacturer in the United States.

And no one really knows which new medium-lift vehicles will be ready and capable of scaling up their launch cadence.

Ukraine’s unprecedented drone rescue of a wounded soldier from the battlefield has shown once again how battlefield necessity can spur innovation.

On October 19, Ukraine’s Army shared a video of the drone evacuation, showing the wounded soldier securing himself in a harness suspended beneath a heavy hexacopter drone with six rotors before being flown to safety.

Special carabiners were first delivered to the wounded soldier so he could attach himself to the drone that was equipped with a winch, according to a blog post by Gurzuf Defence.

The wounded soldier, who serves with Ukraine’s 30th separate mechanized brigade, had already spent nearly 500 days at a frontline position while under threa…

If the hardware error rate is too high, then growing the logical qubit will only make matters worse.

Several demonstrations show logical qubits are beyond the breakeven point, where adding more qubits improves performance.

Each step up in the size of logical qubits improved some measures of their performance by a factor of over 10.

Error correction codes and scalingTo understand the results, we must take a little detour through the ideas behind error correction.

There are various error correction “codes,” each of which has a different geometry of entangled connections among its constituent qubits.

In copyright lawsuits over AI training, Meta has spent weeks blaming staff for downloading torrents.

Following testimony from Meta staff who downloaded torrents, the order could expose a wider range of supervisors, managers, and executives whom staffers said greenlit the piracy.

Instead, Meta insisted that a “decision” was “made only in the sense” that some staffers “technically” downloaded torrents.

Meta’s efforts to scapegoat staff seem to ignore that staff expressed discomfort in being directed to pirate work.

There was also a time when leadership halted, then resumed, downloading torrents sourced from Anna’s Archive, another staffer testified.

Acceleration, top speed, and lap times are the usual ways we quantify that performance, and performance electric vehicles are currently in an arms race to see which one can hit 60 mph in the least amount of time.

But measuring a car’s performance is easy—all you need is a stopwatch and a track.

How about measuring the effect of car performance on the driver?

That’s a question Polestar is trying to answer with researchers at the University of Oxford.

“As electric cars redefine what performance can be, we wanted to understand something that can’t be captured by a specification sheet alone: the human experience behind the wheel,” said Christian Samson, Polestar’s head of product attributes.

With solar energy cruising into record territory, small-scale wind power for residential use tends to get lost in the sun (poor pun intended).There are several caveats, though wind power is not an altogether losing proposition.

It's important to note that a 1 kW turbine is a "peak" power measure, not necessarily what you'll get out of it.

In a carefully chosen position, a 1 kW turbine could feasibly produce 200 kWh per month, or about 2,400 kWh per year.

None of this is to say that wind turbines are weak power producers — it just depends on the wind.

If you live in an area with annual wind speeds averaging 14+ mph, this is something worth looking into.

If you're serious about running, hiking, weightlifting or other high-energy activities, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 is easy to recommend.

At $800, it is a commitment — but that's surprisingly reasonable compared to other fitness and adventure watches, and the benefits over a regular Apple Watch aren't trivial.

An Ultra difference that Apple tends to downplay these days is the action button.

It's an orange button next to the speaker grille, used as a quick shortcut for commands that other Watch owners have to tap through menus or complications to reach.

All the more so if you take advantage of the automation upgrades in watchOS 27 and iOS 27.

Smart ring company Oura announced that it is adding two new fitness features.

First is Cardio Effort, an assessment of how much strain the wearer has put on their body during activity.

The second feature is that the smart rings will automatically estimate VO2 Max stats.

The revised VO2 Max makes passive estimations on regular GPS-enabled workouts, meaning the test is no longer needed.

VO2 Max stats will be available in Oura Labs for the third-generation Oura Ring and later models.

Yes, the iPhone Duo is the most expensive iPhone in the lineup today — but that doesn't mean it has the best hardware in every respect.

There's no variable aperture on the main lens either — that feature remains exclusive to the iPhone 18 Pro models.

Unlocking the iPhone Duo is also different, because it relies on Touch ID on the side button instead of Face ID.

However, when it comes to third-party apps, developers will have to update them so they, too, fill the entire screen of the iPhone Duo.

Expect some of your apps to look a little odd on the iPhone Duo for a while — some may appear stretched, while others may have black bars.

Both the Fitbit Edge and the Fitbit Inspire 3 use an AMOLED display, but the Edge offers a screen that's 6.9mm (0.27in) wider than the Inspire 3.

Otherwise, their dimensions are very similar, with the Edge coming in at 39.2 x 25.5 x 11.5mm compared to the Inspire 3's 39.32 x 18.6 x 11.75mm size.

By comparison, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is more rectangular and its case is made of plastic.

And while the Edge retails for $180, the Inspire 3 is 44% cheaper at $99.95.

But if the Curry colorway is calling to you, it'll cost you $40 more than the base Edge model at $220.

Fortune published a lengthy profile of new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma that included some snippets of information about the company's upcoming plans.

The much-discussed Project Helix, Xbox's a next-gen gaming console that will also play PC games, got some mentions, including potential pricing and release timing.

In a different interview in August, Sharma hinted that Project Helix would be a "family" of gaming devices, so the news of multiple releases isn't a surprise.

Fortune reported that the Project Helix console is currently projected to cost between $1,200 and $1,800 unless Microsoft opts to subsidize the hardware.

It's possible this high figure is being teased so that when the actual price is…

The star of the show is expected to be a new MacBook Pro, which will is supposed to be the first Mac with a touchscreen.

Rumors suggest it will come in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes like the current models — but they may end up looking quite different.

Chances are this will be the biggest redesign of the MacBook Pro since the versions that were introduced in 2021.

If you were hoping for a faster MacBook Pro, you'll likely have to wait until 2027, when Apple is rumored to refresh its high-end laptop with the M7 Pro and M7 Max chips.

The current models without touchscreens should remain available for those not wanting to pay the higher price.

Sony's latest PlayStation 5 firmware (14.10.00) appears to have been cracked, based on a video shared by a developer named "Gezine" on X.

A possible exploit for the PS5's latest firmware is notable both because Sony released the software update in October, and because the firmware is reportedly necessary to play the year's biggest release.

According to datamining by X account PlayStation Game Size, Grand Theft Auto VI requires the latest firmware to run, theoretically blocking it from being played on jailbroken consoles running older firmware.

Of course, just because a developer has found a kernel exploit for the console's firmware doesn't mean GTA VI itself is any closer to being ripped or…

OpenAI is making it easier to protect your ChatGPT conversations from prying eyes with the introduction of a feature called locked chats.

To access your locked chats, you'll need to input a 4-digit PIN.

Either way, you'll find your private conversations grouped under a new project titled "Locked chats."

OpenAI envisions locked chats mostly as a way to prevent people in public or someone you hand your phone to from seeing your conversations with ChatGPT.

On Android and iOS, you can use voice mode in combination with locked chats, though you can't lock your Codex conversations behind the feature.

A federal judge dismissed Ann Altman's lawsuit against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, on Tuesday.

Ann Altman filed the lawsuit in January 2025, accusing Sam of sexually abusing her when she was a child.

Bluestone also reportedly approved Sam Altman's request on Tuesday to withdraw a defamation counterclaim he made against his sister.

In a joint statement made after Ann Altman's initial lawsuit was filed, Sam Altman, his mother and two younger brothers called the allegations "entirely untrue."

They claimed that Ann Altman had "mental health challenges" and "refuses conventional treatment and lashes out at family members who are genuinely trying to help."

Meta debuted its Muse agentic AI platform last month and bug hunters have already uncovered a privacy problem.

Users would share their Muse conversations by creating a URL, but that feature has been disabled after researchers found that anyone could potentially access those links.

"Muse names each share's web address after the conversation's own title, and that address is written into public DNS," Claroc explained in a blog post.

The company was able to enumerate 6,800 links for shared Muse chats and view private information from both business and personal applications of the service.

Claroc also noted that its researchers were unable to open a sampling of the links they had previously acce…

At the start of the year, Google debuted Personal Intelligence, a Gemini feature that allows the chatbot to pull information from your other Google apps to generate more personalized responses.

An expansion in March brought Personal Intelligence to free accounts after it was previously only available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

For example, if you're driving to the airport, Google suggests Gemini with Personal Intelligence will be able to answer questions like "what's my flight gate?"

More broadly, Google says Personal Intelligence makes it easier to interact with Gemini more naturally.

Google is starting to roll out Personal Intelligence to Android Auto users globally starting …

In its third-quarter earnings report release on Tuesday, streaming giant Netflix beat many expectations, but still delivered some unwanted news to investors: viewer metrics, especially in the United States, could be better.

The latest earnings report didn’t necessarily help that downward trend by sending the stock down almost 6%.

Going into the report, investors were already worried about viewer metrics, and specifically something called view hours growth, the amount of time viewers spend watching stuff on Netflix.

“I know that we could do better, and we want to build on that momentum,” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in the company’s earnings call.

“Peter Rice understands talent relations…

But did Isaacson get Elon Musk to like him enough to talk to him a whole lot for his Musk biography?

That at the very least is a point I’ll chalk up in the Waltmeister’s column.

Bringing up DOGE, Isaacson asks, “Do you feel that that was too much of a distraction?

That in retrospect it was misbegotten?”“I think I had it going for too long,” Musk says.

Or, in Isaacson’s phrasing, Musk “seemed to get a bit too intoxicated by it in a way with the chainsaws and all that.”And Musk copped to that.

First, he had his AI lab xAI join his space giant SpaceX to form one giant space exploration and AI development company.

Now he wants to add autos and robots into the mix by merging SpaceX with Tesla.

Both Tesla and SpaceX have formed special committees to discuss a potential merger, Musk said at SpaceX’s third quarter earnings call on Tuesday.

Especially on the Tesla side, Musk said that a merger decision would require half of all shareholders’ approval, not just those who vote.

The earnings report also showed that SpaceX’s AI business is proving more lucrative than previously thought.

According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk was the one to give the order to throttle Ukraine’s access to Starshield, the Starlink-adjacent telecommunications tech being used to fight back against Russia’s invasion of the country.

But there are still questions about how much influence the White House and President Donald Trump had in the lead up to the interference.

Starshield—owned by SpaceX—is the military grade version of Starlink and is used for drone operations and battlefield communications.

And from what I understand, it’s the same as it’s always been.”The new report from the Wall Street Journal leaves some room for the possibility that Musk was just followi…

They found that having ADHD was associated with higher mortality rates, but that people taking ADHD medication were less likely to die early than those who went untreated.

A study last year calculated that diagnosed ADHD was linked to a reduction in life expectancy of 6.78 years for men and 8.64 years for women.

According to the study authors, there has been conflicting evidence on the overall mortality benefits of ADHD medication, which includes both stimulant and non-stimulant drugs.

Only three of the 19 studies could be used to compare people taking and not taking ADHD medication, they added.

But rates of diagnosed ADHD differ widely across the world, with much higher rates in the U.S. t…

In addition to paying the cost of food and delivery fees, it turns out there’s another payment you might be making when you place an order that is brought to you by a delivery robot: your biometric data.

According to a report from the Associated Press, two popular delivery robot manufacturers are accused of using cameras and sensors to scan the hands and faces of customers without consent.

According to the suits, both Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics have used cameras and LiDAR to record biometric details about customers.

He also claimed that a remote operator was able to watch video of the delivery in real-time.

Both companies denied any wrongdoing as accused in the lawsuits, according to …

Fortran, a programming language invented in 1957, is still widely used to simulate the functionality of nuclear reactors.

While the datasets of those proprietary tools aren’t public, they were very likely trained using more contemporary programming languages, rather than with “legacy” languages like COBOL.

In new research “guided by feedback from developers and enterprise customers,” OpenAI set out to see if its newer models could help to bridge that gap.

The second test assesses whether models can migrate COBOL-run programs into newer programming languages—C++, Java, Kotlin, Python, or Rust—without meaningfully altering the program’s behavior.

Financial systems using COBOL co…

Joel Grima, a PhD student at the University of Malta, has made the Maltese cart ruts the central focus of his doctoral research.

Naturally, historians and archaeologists have been greatly fascinated by the cart ruts.

For the study, Grima conducted an extensive review of stratigraphic and contextual evidence on the cart ruts.

On the other hand, researchers do generally agree that the Maltese cart ruts are from antiquity.

Rocky linesThat said, the age of these cart ruts is only one of many unanswered questions out there, Grima told Gizmodo.

Spotify’s ongoing war against AI slop has now targeted tens of millions of tracks.

The music streaming giant announced Tuesday that it has removed more than 50 million AI slop and spam tracks from users’ recommendations so far this year.

The sheer number of tracks being purged underscores just how big of a problem AI slop and spam have become for music streaming services and the broader industry.

The company says no single signal can catch all AI slop or spam.

“Using these signals together, we can identify likely slop or spam with more confidence,” Spotify said in a blog post.

Off the coast of California, a historically strong El Niño is unfolding on top of a record-breaking marine heatwave, pushing ocean temperatures to new heights.

It was only the sixth confirmed sighting in California, and five of those washed up during El Niño years.

Heightened water temperatures in this region pump huge amounts of heat and moisture into the atmosphere, altering weather patterns across the globe.

This is an important food source for plankton, which are foundational to the marine food web.

At the same time, El Niño can force less heat-tolerant species to stray from their typical ranges in search of cooler waters.

Polymarket recently poured millions of dollars into securing the endorsements of legendary athletes, including LeBron James, Derek Jeter, and Sue Bird, to highlight its sports “prediction market.” The company should have stuck to sports.

Polymarket has previously hosted markets asking whether the kidnappers of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, would be arrested and whether a downed American pilot would be rescued or not.

Gizmodo reached out to Polymarket for comment regarding the Cornell Seven market and its decision to pull it, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

Thank you, Polymarket, for bravely taking people’s money so they can guess…

Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige is returning to theaters for its 20th birthday, and that includes premium formats.

Thanks to Variety, we know that IMAX and 70mm screenings will be part of the occasion.

The Prestige is considered to have the first-ever IMAX 70mm shot used for a narrative-length film.

Nolan used IMAX cameras for a scene with Bale’s duplicated character, both to test if IMAX could be reduced to 35mm film and to test what he wanted to do in The Dark Knight.

That makes for a full circle moment, which audiences will see for themselves when the re-release comes to theaters on January 29, 2027.

Called the PrimeSentinel U2 Pro, it’s available to preorder for $280 on Amazon and begins shipping in early November.

The U2 Pro features two separate cameras.

Beyond the spotlight feature, the U2 Pro has solid camera specs.

The U2 Pro features color night vision, a built-in siren, and a microphone and speaker for two-way talking.

The U2 Pro can accommodate up to a 512GB microSD card, and there’s no subscription plan for cloud video storage.

The Russian satellite, designated Cosmos 2612, carried out a series of close-proximity maneuvers toward ICEYE-X36, a U.S.-registered commercial radar-imaging satellite, between October 15 and 19, based on data by space-tracking company LeoLabs.

The ICEYE-X36 satellite is believed to be providing synthetic aperture radar imagery to Ukraine, according to Breaking Defense.

In 2022, a Russian spy satellite, designated Cosmos 2558, launched into the same orbital plane as a U.S. military satellite, dubbed USA 326.

In 2025, Russia’s Cosmos 2588 launched to a near-circular orbit, placing it eerily close to a U.S. reconnaissance satellite, USA 338.

Former WIRED contributor Andrew Watman reviewed it for us in 2024, giving it a solid 7 out of 10 and confirming that it is every bit the statement piece it’s designed to be.

I own one as well, and I love both its vintage-inspired charm and that I can “see” what's inside without having to look in it.

It allows you to see the fridge contents as scanned by the fridge itself, and control the lights and temperature from afar.

In my own fridge, I was surprised to see the Rocco could even recognize individual flavors of Kirkland Signature sparkling water.

This current sale isn't the best I've seen from Rocco, but it's not bad, with $200 off Graphite, Cream, Beige, and Green colors.

French newspaper Le Monde reported that Vinted, eBay, Amazon, LeBonCoin, Meta, and TikTok were at the meeting.

Platforms agreed to forward reports to investigators, monitor ads for goods stolen specifically during the protests, and send the government reports of their actions, with the first one coming within 48 hours, according to Papin.

Police “lost control” in some cities, Interior minister Laurent Nuñez admitted, as they responded with tear gas, water cannon, and batons.

Police issued a warning in the Netherlands that online ecommerce sites could have a higher number of stolen goods online due to the riots.

Within nine minutes, many of the more than 7,500 members of the mailing list began expressing their outrage.

Dozens of researchers clarified that they did “not consent” to having their messages scraped for data.

Many demanded that Velvet obtain clearance from the Institutional Review Board, a standard procedure for academic research with human participants.

Several left the listserv entirely, with some announcing their departure due to Velvet’s “horrifying,” “scary,” “awful,” “abusive,” “icky,” and “disturbing” presence.

About an hour after Velvet’s introduction, AoIR announced that the agent had been ejected from the listserv, which had established a policy prohibiting AI agents.

Elon Musk says he "got carried away" when working with the White House, and now thinks he shouldn't have continued running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for so long.

President Donald Trump established DOGE within days of his inauguration last January, tasking vocal supporter Musk to lead it in reducing alleged government overspending.

Musk gained significant attention for various stunts during his time working with the Trump administration, such as his infamous "Roman"/Nazi salute.

Musk had initially claimed DOGE would reduce government spending by at least $2 trillion, but such savings failed to materialise.

Musk has refocused his attention on his various tech companies si…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Infostealers replayed stolen Claude session cookies into paid accounts without ever touching the login page two-factor authentication guards.The accounts Anthropic flagged were card-billed, self-serve accounts, which is the population no corporate identity provider governs, and no admin console can sign out.

What differs is what happens in the following months, and most vendors will not tell you until you ask directly.FDE has become one of enterprise AI’s most consequential operating models. Vendors are building entire go-to-market motions around engineers who embed with customers, wire products into operating environments, and make the demo real. Investors often read FDE headcount as a growth signal and buyers read it as a promise of speed. Neither tells you whether the w…

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

ZDNET’s key takeawaysThe MapQuest app now includes a surveillance layer.

The app shows cameras from Flock and other companies.

How MapQuest’s surveillance layer worksWhen you turn the layer on (just tap the layer icon on the main navigation screen and you’ll see the toggle), the cameras appear on the map as a small red eye.

The Waze app does identify “police cameras,” but that also includes speed cameras, as well as general traffic and weather cameras, so it can be hard to tell which are surveillance cameras.

I’ll admit that I haven’t been too concerned about Flock cameras to this point, but it was a little unsettling to see more than 30 cameras across the medium-sized town of 80,000 people…

After Utah, nine other states have legalized it, or are working on bills for plug-in solar.

Plug-in solar systems are easy to set up and can save consumers money on their power bills, but they’re still illegal in many states.

Ten states have already legalized backyard and plug-in solar systems, so residents there can already purchase and install systems like the EcoFlow Stream in their homes.

Can I set up my solar panels if my state legalizes plug-in solar?

There’s also the elephant in the room: utilities would make less money off their services if plug-in solar becomes widely popular.

Also: Linus Torvalds is using AI to develop Linux kernel code nowIt’s not returning to the Linux desktop, however — not yet, anyway.

Instead, it’s switching its infrastructure programs from proprietary software to open-source software.

Rather than making desktop Linux its center pole, the city is replacing individual layers of proprietary infrastructure where it can make a practical case.

So, this comeback is not a wholesale resurrection of LiMux, the Debian/Kubuntu Linux desktop project that made Munich the Linux desktop standard-bearer between 2003 and 2013.

It certainly helps that, thanks to the shift to open-source software, “We are saving roughly a million euros a year.

Much of that fear can be attributed to labs and CEOs juicing their own relevance, but some job cuts have been explicitly tied to AI’s rapid acceleration.

As of now, the dashboard finds just over 117,000 job cuts attributed to AI nationally this year — $8.5 billion in estimated annual wage losses.

The Wage Loss Dashboard multiplies the number of AI-attributed job cuts by the average annual salary to estimate annual wage loss.

That’s thanks to a much higher concentration of job cuts (just over 27,000 layoffs attributed to AI).

AI-attributed layoffs are themselves murky: The data here are job cuts companies themselves said were tied to AI.

Apple recently introduced a handful of new smart home products, with its first smart panel, the HomeView; a new HomePod mini; an Apple TV 4K; and a complete Home Collection with nine smart home devices.

There’s no question that, at $200, the LG Indoor Cam is expensive.

At $300, the LG Outdoor Cam follows the same pricing pattern as the rest of the Apple Home Collection.

Apple ensures the company cannot access your footage and emphasizes end-to-end encryption, as well as physical privacy features like those of the LG Indoor Cam.

All new LG cameras in the Apple Home Collection are compatible with HKSV, but older cameras also support it.

Also: Open weights vs. closed: An AI civil war’s afootNvidia’s new model, the open-weight Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, aims to be the latest data point in that surge.

NvidiaNvidia also said Super VL achieves top-tier accuracy for specialized agents with post-training.

If US-made open models prove themselves against Chinese ones, that could help open models take off in areas where they haven’t yet, given cybersecurity guidance against using fore…

In Windows 11, head to Settings and select Windows Update.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The company also reported an adjusted profit for that period.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apple had also found no OpenAI files on its servers.

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

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

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

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

OpenAI has put compute and infrastructure under one executive.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Awareness remained limited: 42% had heard o…

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

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

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

Oversight questions remainSethi has described the Romanian activity a…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DraftKings disputed the allegation about targeting losing customers.

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

The October 9 questionnaire covers marketing, promotions, customer engagement and the assessment of potentially harmful gambling behavior.

What regulators want operators to discloseThe commission asks whether operators use AI, machine learning, algorithms, automated decision-making or similar tools for marketing, promotions or customer engagement.

Instead, it seeks company-by-company information that could help the commission understand how marketing decisions are made and whether safeguards address potential harm.

Sports Betting Dime reported that the MGC also plans to interview representatives from the operators about AI use in customer acquisition, promotions and responsible gambling.

The CFTC advanced two measures affecting prediction markets, a move Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Mike Dreitzer said he expected as federal and state authorities dispute who should oversee sports-event contracts.

The appeals court had unanimously ruled against the company, finding that prediction markets were not exempt from state gambling laws, including tax requirements.

His criticism also addressed arguments that prediction markets differ because they are peer-to-peer, support price discovery or let customers enter and exit positions.

His position reflects Nevada’s concern that sports-event contracts should face state gambling oversight when they operate like sportsbook bets.

According to a new report from Sensor Tower, not only did Meta’s Muse become the 12th app ever to reach 10 million US downloads in 40 days, but it is also outpacing its peers in user retention.

Meta Muse keeps growing amid privacy controversyA few weeks ago, Sensor Tower reported that Meta’s Muse app had surpassed 5 million downloads in the US, thanks to a mix of popularity and Meta’s massive ad push.

For comparison, Sensor Tower says ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude reached just 3.7 million, 500,000, and 200,000 US downloads, respectively, during their first 40 days.

Apple acquires a variety of companies every year, and recently many of its acquisitions—including the latest, Samplab—have revolved around one clear goal: improving and expanding Apple Creator Studio.

All year long, the company has sought to strengthen its ecosystem of tools for creatives by launching Apple Creator Studio and acquiring companies that expand its feature set.

Apple Creator Studio debuted in January as a suite of pro apps for creatives, such as Pixelmator Pro, Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, and more.

The service has regularly rolled out new features since launch, but we’ve also seen Apple invest behind-the-scenes with acquisitions that clearly have Creator Studio in mind.

Perplexity is adding a new local-first mode to its Mac app that lets Computer work entirely on the device.

Perplexity brings fully local AI tasks to Mac with new Computer mode optionThe launch follows Hybrid Compute, which arrived in September.

That feature splits tasks between cloud models for research and reasoning and a local model for working with private files.

With permission, Computer can work with local files and supported Mac apps, including Notes, Messages, Mail, and Numbers.

It launches with Qwen 3.6 and PPLX Pro as local model options, which users can download and set up through the app.

Here’s why HomeView couldn’t launch until now, per quotes from key Apple execs.

Apple touts Siri AI with personal context and conversational abilities as essential to HomeViewIn November 2024, Mark Gurman published an in-depth report on the product we now know as HomeView.

Gurman has repeatedly pointed to Siri AI as the chief cause of delays.

“With the magic of Siri AI, it comes together in a way that we haven’t been able to deliver before,” she said.

If Siri AI was simply a nice-to-have addition to an otherwise feature-rich product, perhaps it could launch in the EU still.
