Земля в иллюминаторе.

Всё остальное осталось прежним.

В Роскомнадзоре ситуацию пока не комментировали.

Это убытки, которые компания понесла из-за проекта.

Сейчас это сделать невозможно.

Сообщают о проблемах с оплатой покупок, переводами и снятием наличных.

Цену пока не назвали.

Hyundai, в свою очередь, описывает Atlas как универсального гуманоидного робота для промышленной среды, рассчитанного на работу на уже существующих производственных площадках.

То есть сейчас во всем мире спор уже не идет о том, можно ли теоретически сделать человекоподобного робота.

И здесь ответ уже не футурологический, а производственный: сначала самые рутинные, тяжелые, повторяемые и неудобные для людей операции, потом — все более сложные сценарии.

Но главный вопрос здесь даже не в роботах как таковых.

Если ответом становится не образование, не переобучение, не инженерная и управленческая модернизация, а призыв «затянуть пояса и пахать побольше», то это не стратегия развития.

Смахивает на ответ ученика у доски, который цвет учебника помнит, фамилию препода - смутно, а на какую профессию учится - ещё не узнал.

Замечу, что данный сайт и международный квиз существуют уже не первый год, так что это не ошибка на бета-тесте, и не ляпы новодела.

Сбор данных в формы гугла корпорацией РосАтом В письме была ссылка на анкету в которой можно было выбрать призы на своё усмотрение.

«⚡️ Telegram обошёл блокировку прокси Роскомнадзором», «Команда мессенджера закрыла уязвимость в ClientHello», «Цифровое сопротивление возвращается — разработчики выпустили фикс!»Спойлер: официальная команда Telegram не сделала для этого ровным счётом ничего, пока энтузиасты не принесли им готовое решение, разжёванное до конкретного байта.

Берут минимальный набор изменений из PR, сливают и на следующий день — заголовки про великую победу мессенджера над цензурой.

Чувак, ваша сторона не делала ровно ничего, пока комьюнити не принесло вам готовый PR с байтами, тестами и объяснением на пальцах.

Это всего лишь хотфикс, а не решениеТо, что смёрджили — необходимый минимум на данный момент, но не …

Программа-минимум была чрезвычайно простой: запустить ЭПУ и добиться, чтобы оно хоть как-то «держало скорость».

При подаче на ЭПУ напряжения с трансформатора и снятии тонарма с фиксатора заработали и двигатель, и стробоскоп.

В том числе, её широко применяли и в серийно выпускаемой аппаратуре.

Публикацию можно рассматривать как воспоминания о тех временах, когда царствовал цифровой звук, и не было никакого пиетета перед «лампами» и «винилом».

Была поставлена цель оживить доставшуюся даром «Вегу ЭП-122С», и она была выполнена с минимальными затратами времени и денег.

Я провёл аудит веб-сайта CEO Y Combinator Гарри Тана после того, как он похвастался, что выдаёт по 37 тысяч строк кода в день, и держит этот темп уже 72 дня.

membership_form_controller.test (89 КБ), media_grid_controller.test (31 КБ), story_composer_controller.test (19 КБ)... 300 КБ кода тестов.

Полный объём: 654 КБ на два логотипа.

Для контекста: главная страница Hacker News, поддерживаемая собственной организацией Гарри Y Combinator, делает 7 запросов и передаёт 12 КБ.

Я не прочитал ни одной строки слопа исходников.

На днях в Кройдоне состоялась встреча международного комитета по стандартизации языка программирования C++, в которой я принимал активное участие.

В этот раз (как и в прошлый), всё внимание было сосредоточено на C++26 и… теперь он готов!

И на встрече в Кройдоне проблема обрела частичное решение в P3725!

std::runtime_format переименовали в std::dynamic_format , чтобы не было путаницы, ведь этот класс теперь можно использовать в compile‑time, а не только в runtime (P3953).

И на него уже есть планы:std::cstring_view / std::zstring_view ,profiles,units,pattern matching.

1 апреля MTProxy начал массово ломаться - причём не точечно, а сразу у разных пользователей, провайдеров и даже на зарубежных серверах.

Коротко: проблема почти точно не в серверах и не в прокси.

Именно поэтому в обсуждении так часто всплывает ощущение, что проблема не в «конкретном прокси», а в том, что сам трафик стал узнаваемым.

ВыводСитуация с MTProxy в этот раз - это не столько про «конец подхода», сколько про очередной виток уже идущей гонки.

Это означает, что текущий детект, скорее всего, опирается на относительно простые сигнатуры, а не на сложный поведенческий анализ всего трафика.

Экипаж пролетит на расстоянии 6000 км и поставит рекорд — достигнет самой дальней точки в космосе, в которой побывал человек.

Кажется, ты смотришь фильм про лунную программу, но это все происходит вживую!

И это как раз ожидаемый результат: такие полеты нужны не для идеальной картинки, а для того, чтобы выявить слабые места системы до следующих, более сложных миссий.

Но в начале 2026 года новый глава NASA Джаред Айзекман миссию переформатировал.

Часть экипажа спускается на поверхность, а часть — ждет на орбите Луны, как это было в программе «Аполлон».

«Птичьи мозги» — не оскорбление, а вовсе наоборотИ вот, что самое безумное: исследование, проведённое в 2016 году и опубликованное в журнале PNAS, выявило, что в переднем мозге попугаев и певчих птиц умещается приблизительно вдвое больше нейронов, чем в мозге приматов того же веса.

Если считать на единицу массы, птичьи мозги — одни из самых вычислительно-плотных органов королевства животных.

На самом деле, обзывательство «птичьи мозги» больше похоже на комплимент.

Так что правильный ответ — это какапо; забавно, что это тоже новозеландский попугай.

Поэтому когда вам скажут, что у вас птичьи мозги, поблагодарите за комплимент.

Проблема была даже не в том, что обложек нет, а в том, что ими почти никто не занимается.

Когда я это понял, то был, мягко говоря, огорчён, ибо я огромный фанат Врат Штейна.

Многие постеры отбраковывались, некоторые я правил вручную, но это не занимало много времени.

И по итогу от результата меня прям начало переть, и я решил: «Даже если это займёт уйму времени — оно того на 100% стоит».

Разница в качестве — колоссальная, но и в трудозатратах тоже.

Гиря, положенная на ту же чашу, что и груз, как бы имеет знак «минус», а на противоположную — «плюс».

Но главный математический выигрыш даже не в этом, а в плотности записи информации.

Он взял уже известные феррит‑диодные ячейки и переработал схемотехнику так, чтобы они стали удобной основой не для двоичной, а для троичной логики.

Ответ на этот вопрос сложнее, чем кажется, и коренится не в технике, а в человеческой психологии и советской экономике.

Но история технологий — это история не только идей, но и инфраструктуры, экономики и инерции мышления.

Кроме того, подземный переход соединен с подземным переходом между ГК и ЛК, соединяя также НК, АК, корпуса "Арктика" и "Цифра".

Временно закрытый новый переход в био-корпусВ ближайшем будущем планируется строительство входов в подземный переход напрямую из общежитий МФТИ.

Фактически, новый переход в метро является вторым кампусом.

«Наконец-то инфраструктура МФТИ достигла стадии, когда между “пойти на пару” и “пойти в метро” больше нет чёткой границы».

На фото главный парадный вход в этот подземный переход (напоминаю, чтобы туда зайти, надо на лифте в КПМ спуститься на минус первый этаж).

И это без потери информации и обратимо.

И Лагранж сказал "невозможно" на ЭТО.

Берём звук → раскладываем на частоты (FFT, Fast Fourier Transform) → смотрим, что получилось → выкидываем то, что человеческое ухо не услышит.

И это все за миллисекунды.

И это не только Wi-Fi.

В этой статье мы проведём глубокий анализ функции RNG игры и разберёмся, как призраки склонны действовать в этой ситуации.

И это не индекс какой-то таблицы: в качестве вывода RNG используются первые 8192 байта ассемблерного кода Pac-Man.

Однако забавно то, что если цепь Маркова эргодична, то это стабильное состояние цепи вне зависимости от того, какими были исходные состояния.

На самом деле, вероятность того, что мы найдём призрака в левом нижнем углу, в шесть раз выше, чем в правом верхнем.

Из-за этого крайне маловероятно, что в подобных обстоятельствах призрак будет находиться в верхней части лабиринта какое-то существенное время.

Ну я, конечно же, пошёл к ветеранам кафедры расспрашивать, что за прибор и откуда он оказался на кафедре.

В нашем вузе, как и во многих других вузах СССР, помимо обучения студентов занимались ещё и наукой.

Что было потом — неизвестно.

Учитывая, что полученные результаты были ещё далеки от массового внедрения, надежды на коммерциализацию не было, а термин «венчурные инвестиции» в стране зазвучал сильно позднее.

А интернета не было, так что гугл тут оказался бессилен.

Делают её несколько студий, включая Embracer и Revenge, а сам проект должен стать ААА-игрой от третьего лица в духе Hogwarts Legacy, но в мире «Властелина колец».

Причём, «Властелин колец» от Warhorse Studios — это именно отдельная игра, а не помощь в работе студии Revenge.

Интересно, что Warhorse Studios как раз принадлежит холдингу Embracer Group, которая как раз владеет правами на игры по «Властелину колец».

Каких-то новых подробностей об игре от Синдзи не было, но в ролике о покупке студии есть кадры, которые могут на неё намекать.

Но вы сражаетесь не только со временем, но и с бандитами, которые постоянно сидят у вас на хвосте.

Ребята в Sony, вам стоит посмотреть на продукты Apple, Bowers & Wilkins, Bang & Olufsen и как-то вернуться в реальность.

Креативный директор студии Naughty Dog и геймдиректор Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Шон Эскейг взбаламутил фанатов франшизы, запостив в своих соцсетях фотографию тропического острова с подписью «Исследую…».

Фотография сделана предположительно неподалёку от старого британского форта Джордж в Тринидаде.

Тем временем культовой Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End уже в следующем месяце стукнет целых десять лет.

В её финале Naughty Dog отправила Дрейка на пенсию, так что игроки рассчитывают, что главным героем сиквела станет Кейси Дрейк — дочь Нейта и Елены, за которую можно было поиграть в эпилоге.

Прямо сейчас Naughty Dog глубоко погружена в разработку приключенческого экшена Intergalactic: The Heretic Pr…

Эксперты iFixit разобрали наушники и пришли к выводу, что отличить новые «Максы» от предыдущей модели можно лишь по артикулу, скрытому за амбушюрами.

С одной стороны, оригинальные AirPods Max ещё шесть лет назад были нестыдными наушниками с точки зрения ремонтопригодности.

По словам экспертов iFixit, в руках опытного DIY-щика они способны прослужить чуть ли не вечность.

С другой стороны, Apple так и не выпустила мануалы по замене комплектующих и не запустила в продажу запчасти для ремонта, что сильно затрудняет обслуживание в домашних условиях.

Но, самое главное, можно ли назвать новые AirPods Max вторым поколением?

На этой неделе Anthropic из-за ошибки опубликовала полный код клиентской части Claude Code.

Код во всю разнесли по GitHub, и теперь любой желающий может стянуть его себе.

Вот только мошенники тоже не дремлют!

Надо ли говорить, что репозиторий был на первом месте в поиске Google по запросу Leaked claude code?

Так что будьте аккуратны с хайповым и непроверенным софтом: на GitHub вы тоже можете, ничего не подозревая, накачать вредоносное ПО.

После первых сообщений от пользователей компания наконец созналась: телевик с матрицей на 10 Мп, дающий трёхкратное увеличение, временами косячит и делает размытые снимки.

Хорошая новость в том, что проблема отличается от ситуации с камерой S20 Ultra, которой нормально сфокусироваться не давало железо.

Одному из корейских пользователей поддержка ответила, что проблема вызвана ошибкой обработки при переключении объектива.

С каждой новостью о S26 Ultra мы всё больше убеждаемся: брать надо старые модели.

S24 Ultra и S25 Ultra — прекрасные устройства, которые стоят каждой потраченной на них копейки.

Стандартные правила компании позволяют сменить регион учётки только при отсутствии активных подписок, однако Apple сделала для нас с вами ещё одно исключение.

Коллеги по цеху выяснили, что россияне могут сменить регион аккаунта даже с активным iCloud и любой другой подпиской.

Поддержка отметила, что нужно просто проигнорировать предупреждение — и всё сработает.

Валюта из рублей сменится на ту, которая соответствует стране вашего «переезда», а подписки перенесутся.

Поэтому если у вас есть остаток на счёте, то его придётся погасить, обратившись в поддержку.

После блокировки оплаты счёта с помощью мобильного Apple выпустила подтверждение на странице поддержки, в котором есть интересная информация.

Компания пишет, что если у вас закончится iCloud, то все фото и прочие данные останутся.

Рисковать своими данными никто не отважится, поэтому наши коллеги по цеху спросили у поддержки Apple напрямую.

И чтобы окончательно вас запутать: уже известны случаи, когда наши граждане не оплачивали iCloud с июля, но хранилище осталось в порядке.

Учитывая это, становится понятно, что Apple сделала исключение гораздо раньше.

Не волнуйтесь, ни одна черепаха, в отличие от людей, в схеме не пострадала.

Джонатан — это старейшая черепаха в мире, которая живёт на острове Святой Елены, в губернаторской резиденции.

1 апреля в X появился пост от подтверждённого аккаунта человека, выдававшего себя за Холлинса: старейшая черепаха умерла, все скорбим, вот счёт для пожертвований в криптовалюте.

Учётка была зарегистрирована в Бразилии, а настоящий Джо Холлинс никогда не пользовался X.Стоит ли говорить, что сам Джонатан жив-здоров?

А мошенники в X позже сослались на первое апреля и свели всё в шутку.

Это наборы, которые отражают как путь легендарных футболистов на вершину, так и национальные команды.

Маленькие наборы Soccer Highlights, всего по 500 деталей, за $30 посвящены каждому из четырёх футболистов.

Два набора Soccer Legend за $80 — это большие (854 детали и 948 деталей) и немного криповые статуи Криштиану Роналду и Лионеля Месси на фоне своих номеров.

А если вам идолопоклонничество особо не в кайф, то обратите внимание на футбольный мяч, раскрывающийся в стадион, за $100 или кубок за $160.

Ну и два мелких набора на сдачу: эмблема чемпионата за $25 и настенное изображение формы США с фигурками за $20.

Ведомство дало указание российским техкомпаниям и магазинам сотрудничать с властями в выявлении и блокировке граждан, использующих средства обхода блокировок.

Медиагигант рассматривает сценарий покупки Epic Games на фоне финансовых трудностей студии.

Disney такое положение вещей не нравится: в 2024 году она вложила $1,5 млрд в акции Epic Games ради создания совместной «развлекательной вселенной» на базе Fortnite.

Если Epic Games не сможет привлечь игроков обратно, Disney рискнёт попробовать выкупить студию целиком, чтобы вдохнуть вторую жизнь в Fortnite, а также заполучить в свои руки самый популярный в индустрии движок — Unreal Engine.

По словам Хита, топ-менеджмент компании раскололся по вопросу поглощения Epic Games.

Cуперзлодеи, мечтающие о штаб-квартире в жерле вулкана, уже начали скупать первые прототипы.

iPhone 17 Pro и Pro Max стали первыми за долгое время айфонами, которые не получили чёрного или тёмно-серого цвета.

По его словам, компания рассматривает для iPhone 18 Pro различные оттенки бордового, кофейного и фиолетового.

Сомнительно, что утвердят все три решения, но какое-то из них точно появится.

А вот более строгий чёрный/серый достанутся премиальному складному айфону, — сообщил колумнист Bloomberg Марк Гурман.

Классический цвет разбавит не менее консервативный серебристый/белый.

Альфа-Банк опроверг информацию о сбое в работе сервиса 3 апреля.

Сообщения о сбоях появились утром 3 апреля на фоне масштабных проблем в работе российских банков.

Наибольшее количество жалоб было зафиксировано в Москве и Самарской области, а также в Санкт-Петербурге, Московской и Новосибирской областях.

Крупный сбой в работе сервисов ранее фиксировался в 2024 году: тогда пользователи массово сообщали о недоступности «СберБанк Онлайн» и сложностях с проведением операций.

В ответ на запрос Russian Business в ВТБ сообщили, что вечером 3 апреля все системы работают в штатном режиме.

Изменение настроек планировщика задач привело к существенному снижению пропускной способности и отзывчивости при работе СУБД PostgreSQL на системах с архитектурой ARM64. При использовании ядра 7.0 показатели производительности при прохождении теста pgbench "simple-update" снизились почти в два раза - с 98565 до 50751.

В отличие от представленного в прошлом году метода GPUHammer, новые атаки не ограничиваются воздействием на данные, обрабатываемые в памяти GPU, а позволяют получить полный доступ ко всей основной памяти, относящейся к адресному пространству CPU.

Возможность чтения и записи в память, относящуюся к адресному пространству CPU, реализована путём вмешательства в работу аллокатора памяти GPU (cudaMalloc) для нарушения изоляции памяти GPU и отображения виртуальных адресов GPU в произвольные адреса физической памяти GPU или CPU.

Вмешательство осуществляется через искажение значений битов в видеопамяти, в которой хранятся таблицы страниц памяти GPU, отвечающие за трансляцию виртуальных адресов в фи…

wheat is a structured way to answer technical questions.

Every finding is tracked as a typed claim with an evidence grade.

When you're ready, a compiler validates everything: catches contradictions, flags weak evidence, and blocks output until issues are resolved.

The result is a decision brief you can send to your team.

It all runs inside Claude Code — no new UI to learn.

It's an event-driven protocol with live state, structured notifications, and deterministic safety controls.

Live State Resources Quotes, candles, positions, orders, risk, and derived features exposed as MCP resources with freshness metadata and monotonic sequencing.

Structured Notifications Seven mandatory notification types — order fills, partial fills, rejections, candle closes, kill switch, gap fill, and replay failure — each with a typed envelope carrying sequence, timestamp, and payload.

Autonomous Safety Kill switch, position limits, daily loss caps, stale-data rejection, and sequence-gap detection.

The runtime halts autonomy before the model is asked to decide — not after.

Its latest bet is a New Zealand startup that puts solar-powered smart collars on cows.

Craig Piggott, Halter’s 30-year-old founder and CEO, has spent nine years working on an answer.

“If you manage a pasture-based farm, whether it’s dairy or beef, the most important variable is how you manage the productivity of your land,” Piggott told TechCrunch in an interview this week.

“In some cases, we see customers literally doubling the output off their land,” Piggott said.

Halter’s collar is on one million cattle, while there are one billion more in the world.

The Orion spacecraft is now much closer to the Moon than Earth on its 10-day journey into deep space and back, and overall everything is going smashingly well.

Things are going so well that, during the daily mission briefings at Johnson Space Center in Houston, there’s just not that much of substance to talk about.

During the initial checkout of spacecraft systems, Orion’s toilet was supposed to be “wetted” with water to prime the pump.

Urine is collected in a small tank, about the size of an office trash can.

To address the problem Orion was maneuvered into an orientation such that the urine tank and vent lines received the maximum amount of sunshine to un-freeze the urine.

A lot of that movement has been led by state legislation in Colorado.

Since 2022, Colorado has passed bills giving users the tools, instructions, and legal capabilities to fix or upgrade their own wheelchairs, agricultural farming equipment, and consumer electronics.

Similar efforts have rippled out through the country, where repair bills have been introduced in every US state and passed in eight of them.

“Colorado has the broadest repair rights in the country,” says Danny Katz, executive director CoPIRG, the Colorado branch of the consumer advocate group Pirg.

The bill modifies Colorado’s Consumer Right to Repair Digital Electronic Equipment act, which was passed in 2024 and went into effe…

The spending proposal for fiscal year 2027 is the opening salvo in a multi-month budget process.

“The budget requests $18.8 billion in discretionary budget authority for NASA for 2027, a $5.6 billion or 23 percent decrease from the 2026 enacted level,” White House officials wrote in the budget outline.

Native Americans have been playing with dice in games of chance for more than 12,000 years, according to a new paper published in the journal American Antiquity.

And the oldest examples of Native American dice predate the earliest currently known dice in the Old World by millennia.

“Historians have traditionally treated dice and probability as Old World innovations,” said author Robert Madden, a graduate student at Colorado State University.

These were rudimentary dice with just two sides, rather than the six sides of modern dice, typically described as “binary lots.” And Madden found they were common to virtually every Native American tribe.

As the Artemis II lunar mission moved into its third day on Friday, and with the spacecraft’s big engine firing behind it, the four astronauts on board had a little more downtime.

So the four crew members—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—had their first opportunities to speak with their families at length, and also did a couple of media events.

Wiseman, the mission’s commander, sent a particularly spectacular image on Friday morning that showed our planet’s night side (with a relatively long exposure).

Among the beautiful details in this image were not one but two auroras, as well as zodiacal light in the bottom right of the image.

Banks and other firms that want to work on SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO) are being required to buy subscriptions to the Grok AI service, The New York Times reported today.

Elon Musk “is requiring banks, law firms, auditors and other advisers working on the IPO to buy subscriptions to Grok, his artificial intelligence chatbot that is part of SpaceX,” the NYT wrote, citing anonymous sources who are familiar with the confidential negotiations.

The IPO filing came two months after SpaceX purchased xAI, the Musk company that produces Grok.

When it comes to large language model-powered tools, there are generally two broad categories of users.

On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they see as an all-knowing machine.

Recent research goes a long way to forming a new psychological framework for that second group, which regularly engages in “cognitive surrender” to AI’s seemingly authoritative answers.

That research also provides some experimental examination of when and why people are willing to outsource their critical thinking to AI, and how factors like time pressure and external incentives can affect that decision.

But the researchers argue that AI systems have given rise to a cate…

Donald Trump is facing significant hurdles after declaring, in a series of executive orders last year, that rapid construction of AI data centers was among his top priorities to ensure the US wins the AI race against China.

Perhaps most likely to frustrate the president, his aggressive tariffs on Chinese imports are reportedly hindering most data center projects.

Rather than rely on China, Trump would prefer that the US manufacture its own equipment.

In March, he didn’t mention the power infrastructure problem when ordering tech companies to “build, bring, or buy” the power for their data centers.

But data center builders can’t as easily ignore the fact that it doesn’t matter where the powe…

For more than a month, security practitioners have been warning about the perils of using OpenClaw, the viral AI agentic tool that has taken the development community by storm.

With that, the attacker has control of whatever resources the OpenClaw instance does.

“An attacker who already holds operator.pairing scope—the lowest meaningful permission in an OpenClaw deployment—can silently approve device pairing requests that ask for operator.admin scope.

Once that approval goes through, the attacking device holds full administrative access to the OpenClaw instance.

A Rome court has ruled that the price hikes Netflix imposed on subscribers in Italy in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024 were unlawful.

The court ordered Netflix to refund affected customers by up to 500 euros (about $576), depending on their plan.

The lawsuit was brought by Italian consumer advocacy group Movimento Consumatori, which alleged that the price hikes violate the Consumer Code, Italian legislation that aims to protect consumer rights.

Because the price hikes were found to be imposed without providing customers with valid justifications, the court ruled that the new prices are invalid and ordered Netflix to refund affected subscribers.

This comes despite Netflix reportedly providing a 3…

The last half year has been rough for EV adoption here in the US.

Battery factories have been cancelled or repurposed, and EV lineups have been slashed as OEMs write down billions of dollars in the process.

Cox Automotive, for example, forecast a 6.5 percent overall decrease in new car sales for the first three months of the year but a 28 percent decrease in EV sales for the same period.

“To materially change buying behavior and drive a trend toward smaller, more efficient vehicles, consumers would need to believe gas prices will remain elevated for years, not just months,” Cox said.

Others have a slightly more optimistic take, particularly given that gas prices have nudged past the $4/gall…

The Orion spacecraft successfully fired its main engine for 5 minutes and 50 seconds on Thursday, sending four astronauts on a free-return trajectory around the Moon.

For NASA and the Artemis II crew members, this marked a point of no return for more than week.

The last time this occurred was 1972, with the final Apollo Moon mission.

The “translunar injection” burn of Orion’s main engine occurred about one day after the successful launch of the mission on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday.

This included critical systems such as the carbon dioxide “scrubbers” that remove the exhaled gas from the cabin’s atmosphere as well as water systems.

Perplexity’s AI search engine encourages users to go deeper with their prompts by engaging in chat sessions that a lawsuit has alleged are often shared in their entirety with Google and Meta without users’ knowledge or consent.

Using developer tools, the lawsuit found that opening prompts are always shared, as are any follow-up questions the search engine asks that a user clicks on.

In his complaint, he likened ad trackers to “browser-based wiretap te…

The Artemis II crew is almost at the moon, and the astronauts spent this weekend carrying out preparations for their lunar flyby on Monday.

But, they've had plenty of time to take in the views, too — and those views sure are spectacular.

In the latest series of images shared by the space agency, the astronauts are seen gazing at Earth through the windows of the Orion spacecraft.

Orion will reach the moon's vicinity shortly after midnight on Monday, April 6.

The spacecraft's closest approach to the moon is expected to occur at 7:02PM, when it will be 4,066 miles from the surface.

While the US and Anthropic are in the midst of a major dispute, the UK is trying to sway the San Francisco-based AI company to expand its presence on English soil.

The UK's strategy follows a public fallout between Anthropic and the US Department of Defense earlier this year.

After the AI company said it wouldn't budge on certain AI guardrails, the Department of Defense pulled its contract and eventually designated Anthropic a supply chain risk.

With no end in sight for the debacle with the Department of Defense, Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, is expected to visit the UK in May, according to FT.

However, even in London, Anthropic will have to compete against OpenAI, which already committed …

The smartphone maker posted an "End of Service Announcement" on its website, revealing that the Samsung Messages app will no longer be available by July of this year.

Samsung also recommended that anyone still using Samsung Messages switch over to Google Messages as the default messaging app.

For those will never tire of the words of Ursula K. Le Guin, a special treat is on the way.

The esteemed late author's blog, which she started in 2010 at the age of 81, is being rereleased as a podcast, In Your Spare Time.

Le Guin's blog ran until 2017, and a book collecting a selection of those posts was published that year.

But, the podcast will include everything: essays, poems and "even the ones that are mostly cat pictures," according to the announcement.

From Le Guin's official Instagram account, which is managed by her estate:We always wanted to hear a version of the blog that includes every single post, even the ones that are mostly cat pictures.

A court in Rome recently ruled that Netflix owed its Italian users a refund for price hikes between 2017 and January 2024 and a reduction to previous subscription costs.

On top of the refunds, Netflix Italia would have to inform its affected subscribers of their right to a refund.

The lawsuit was originally filed by Movimento Consumatori, a consumer rights organization based in Rome.

The group's president, Alessandro Mostaccio, said in a press release that more than 25,000 Netflix users have complained to Movimento Consumatori that they're not satisfied with the price increases over the years.

Mostaccio also said that if Netflix doesn't immediately reduce prices and refund its customers, th…

Anthropic is no longer offering a free ride for third-party apps using its Claude AI.

Boris Cherny, Anthropic's creator and head of Claude Code, posted on X that Claude subscriptions will no longer cover using the AI agent for third-party tools, like OpenClaw, for free.

As of 3PM ET on April 4, anyone using Claude through third-party apps or software will have to do so with an extra usage bundle or with a Claude API key, according to Cherny.

Cherny replied to X users that this change is about engineering constraints and optimization.

Of course, Anthropic has its own alternative, which tackles some similar tasks as OpenClaw, called Claude Cowork.

The Artemis II crew is now more than halfway to the moon, according to NASA.

The Artemis II crew was also greeted by a malfunctioning toilet not long into the flight, and astronaut Koch had to work with the ground team to figure out a fix — which they thankfully were able to do.

While the levels are short, you'll need to be mindful as there's a permadeath element to this game.

Specifically, the publisher is teaming up with Toonstar, an AI animation studio, to turn them into digital shows.

The first project will be an adaptation of Lisa Greenwald’s “Friendship List” series, which will also be joined by a graphic novel.

You’d be forgiven for being unaware of Toonstar, a studio that received some buzzy early on for simplifying typically complex animation pipelines with AI, but has mostly remained under the radar.

Its biggest claim to fame is producing StEvEn and Parker YouTube series, which has amassed 3.38 million subscribers and sometimes has episodes reaching around a million views.

Jason Blundell, a former creative lead on Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: Black Ops series, has announced that he's formed a new development studio called Magic Fractal Studios.

Blundell announced the studio on a livestream with former Dark Outlaw Games coworker JC Farmer, a little over a week after the previous studio was closed by Sony.

Dark Outlaw Games was similarly mysterious, and closed before it could even announce its first project.

All that's known is what Blundell has shared after the studio was shut down: Dark Outlaw wasn't working on a live-service game.

He formed Dark Outlaw Games with Sony's backing in March 2025.

He reportedly set a condition for banks, law firms, auditors and advisors who want to work on the SpaceX IPO.

They're required to subscribe to the bastion of nonconsensual deepfakes and occasional Hitler praise known as Grok.

Rather, Musk insisted they subscribe to Grok as part of the privilege of working on SpaceX's IPO.

Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisementFive banks are expected to work on the IPO: Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley.

With banks set to rake in over $500 million from their work on the deal, perhaps paying for Grok, despite its myriad issues, seemed a small price to pay.

There’s many uncertainties in this world, but apparently the future of Prime Video’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power may not be one of them.

According to a source speaking to The Ankler’s Lesley Goldberg, the show’s considered a “magical halo” by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

As such, it’s “proteced for its run” and likely to finish out the five-season arc Amazon pitched back when it first secured the rights.

At time of writing, the show’s third season doesn’t have a firm date beyond “sometime in 2026,” and some have generally wondered how much more life Rings of Power had left in it.

Goldberg’s report also mentions a tradeoff to this five-season plan: for Rings of Power to live on, a spi…

The Pentagon has picked two companies to build prototypes for the key technology in Trump’s controversial Golden Dome plan, a report says.

Satellite startup Impulse Space and defense tech company Anduril were tapped to develop prototypes for the space-based missile tracking and targeting technology that will make up the Golden Dome, Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources.

Trump announced the project in an executive order when he took office in January 2025, but since then, its timeline has largely been kept under wraps.

Reports of the contracts signed between the Pentagon and the space and defense tech companies provide a glimpse into how the Administration is moving forward with the …

For the 55th birthday of Kamen Rider, Toei and Ishimori Productions are expanding the franchise’s past and future in big ways.

During a Friday event celebrating the tokusatsu series, the two companies revealed a relaunched YouTube that’ll begin streaming legacy series for the first time starting next Saturday, April 11.

On that, the third episodes for Kamen Rider Agito and Kabuto will premiere on the channel, folled by two episodes a piece premiering each week with a limited four-week window and English subtitles.

As for what comes next, there’s already another show on the horizon after the currently airing Kamen Rider Zeztz, and that’d be Kamen Rider MY-TH. While details on that are no…

Do you remember a few years ago when Twitter, the platform currently known as X, had users leaking movies, including Super Mario Bros. and Avatar: The Way of Water?

Well, you’re not gonna believe this, but…Over the Easter weekend users have done the same thing with the just-released Super Mario Galaxy Movie and last year’s Avatar: Fire & Ash.

By the time this had happened, Nintendo and Illumination’s movie had crossed the $1 billion benchmark that same weekend.

It’s going to be a while before The Super Mario Galaxy Movie leaves theaters, but in the case of Avatar: Fire & Ash, it’d just gone digital at the end of March.

Presumably by the time we get Avatar 4, leakers will have man…

It’s been a while since we’ve learned BioWare was officially teaming with Prime Video to make a Mass Effect show.

Now it sounds like it’s on the verge of being greenlit, albeit with some supposed changes that’ve raised some eyebrows.

In Mass Effect’s case, it’s said Friedlander wanted rewrites so it could be “more appealing to non-gamers.” At first glance, that idea sounds silly given those games were arguably written with a broad audience in mind.

It’s a mix of Star Trek and Star Wars, and it’s never really tried to hide that.

Either way, the Mass Effect show is definitely not the only adaptation made to be less into itself.

Whether you knew it from the trailers or having read the book, Project Hail Mary also stars an alien rock named Rocky.

On BlueSky, artist Kris Anka, who’s previously done work for the Spider-Verse movies (and drawn hot DC and Marvel characters) showed off some early Rocky designs he made in 2023.

In each design, Anka leans into the idea of Rocky having an arachnid-like body, particularly in designs 1E, 1G, and 1K.

Anka wasn’t the only artist to show off Rocky designs.

Iglesias’ art shows us his Rocky would’ve used his hands similar to humans (to the point of doing a Rubik’s Cube) and sleep in ways that made him look alien.

Kyle Orland of ArsTechnica wrote a blog post about the term “cognitive surrender” on April 3.

Their paper is incredibly troubling, and once you read about these findings, the term “cognitive surrender” will be stuck in your head too.

Cognitive surrender isn’t necessarily all bad in their view.

And if you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed that AI-assisted cognitive surrender looks like older forms of mental laziness.

Perhaps soon, AI will turn us into a society of Tim Taylors, cognitively surrendering to our AI Wilsons.

HP’s Omen Max 45L desktop is an obsidian shard thrumming with energy and subtly shifting light.

This pre-configuration of the HP Omen Max 45L loaned to me for review costs $6,500.

You can go into the Omen Gaming Hub app to change it to display whatever your heart desires.

I only wish the HP Omen Max 45L looked more like a PC built by a true professional.

It’s just a shame that no matter what, PC gaming will cost more money than it would have in recent memory.

So, when I walked into a room at CES 2026 and saw the Ecovacs Winbot W3 Omni window cleaning robot crawling back and forth across a big sheet of glass, steadily cleaning as it went, it was hard not to be intrigued.

On Friday, the Wall Street Journal published an article about AI entrepreneurs dropping out of college and being supported by venture capitalists.

That perception of a ticking clock gives me flashbacks to other Wall Street Journal articles about tech incubators during boom periods.

The headline for that article was “Start-Up Incubators Reborn,” because at the time, incubators were a throwback to the dot-com bubble days.

In the AI era, the young people are even younger, the article (which doesn’t use the word “incubator”) says.

And callow, college-aged tech entrepreneurs getting write-ups in the Wall Street Journal are a tradition dating back to at least the year 2000.

In February, Russia essentially deleted WhatsApp and Telegram from its version of the internet in a fairly transparent effort to drive more users to Max.

But amid its effort to weaken VPNs on Friday, according to Bloomberg, accounts from “The Bell and other Russian media” banking apps were disrupted.

For accuracy, over 50M Russians send at least one message every day, with 65M daily active users in Russia overall despite the ban.

Applegate’s Animorphs books will finally get a new TV show, courtesy of Disney+.

In the executive producer’s chair is Ryan Coogler through his Proximity Media banner.

Per Variety, the show is in early development with The Testaments writer Bryan Wolcott on hand to write and executive produce.

Neither Applegate or co-creator (and husband) Michael Grant were involved with that movie or Nick’s show, and it’s unclear if they’ll be involved here.

With Animorphs, Disney continues its gradual hold on bringing 90s and 00s kids books to television.

After decades of wanting a Spaceballs 2, fans will get their wish on April 23, 2027.

Not to mention the original movie’s turning 40 next year, not long after a certain landmark sci-fi film hits its own 50th.

Directed by Josh Greenbaum, Spaceballs 2 will once again parody Star Wars and other media we’ll learn about once a trailer drops.

The biggest casting news is the sequel marks Rick Moranis’ return to film acting in 30 years.

So yeah, Spaceballs 2 hits theaters on April 23, 2027—good luck with the waiting and rewatching the first film.

In the photo above, commander Reid Wiseman is having his iPhone 17 Pro Max stuffed into his shin pocket.

The legendary NASA “space pen” fable, accurate or not, has created a shared understanding of NASA as a place where everything costs too much money.

One hopes the camera software in the official NASA iPhone Pro Max has been tweaked to ensure documentary fidelity.

As many people noticed early in the mission, however, astronauts are also using much less popular consumer tech up there than an iPhone.

They’re holding them like clipboards, and they certainly don’t look like they’re playing Slay the Spire on them.

It’s a move that breaks with decades of tradition (or at least consumer expectations) and is undoubtedly a blow for anyone hoping for a discount, five years into the current console generation.

However, it’s also a sign that the current generation is likely to stick around for a while yet—and that may be a good thing, for the industry and players alike.

Historically, at this point in a console generation, incumbent hardware sees steep discounts.

Production and component costs will typically have dropped over that half-decade, allowing companies to drop the retail price, often alongside slimmed-down hardware revisions.

That’s $100 higher than its previous US retail price (which was already u…

Since March, Israeli attacks on Beirut and the occupation of southern Lebanon have displaced over 1 million people.

Instead, it is being routed through digital fintech platforms to trusted individuals on the ground, who buy necessary items or distribute funds directly to the displaced.

What is different now is how that money moves: Increasingly, it is being sent instantly, peer-to-peer, through digital wallets.

Originally launched to digitize gift cards, the company has evolved into a broad financial platform offering remittances, peer-to-peer transfers, and payment services with more than 2 million users across 110 countries.

But beneath the noise lay something far more telling: a state still struggling with the most basic layer of its cybersecurity.

In early March, several official Syrian government accounts on X—including those linked to the presidency’s General Secretariat, the Central Bank, and multiple ministries—were hacked.

Yet what remained unsettled was the deeper question: How secure is the state’s digital front door?

The ministry said it had coordinated with account administrators and X to “restore control and strengthen security,” promising new regulatory meas…

In other words, it’s the epitome of Sonos versatility, and now that it’s working properly, it’ll be hard to pass up.

Sonos hosts over 100 streaming services directly, and you can also stream over third-party services like Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay, and more.

Short of paving the thing, irrigation is the only way to keep grass on the ground and plants from withering.

While the average router might fill your home with Wi-Fi, it doesn’t always extend to the patio or deck, much less the end of your backyard.

Moving it slightly closer to your backyard or wherever you want to extend Wi-Fi is the simplest option.

If you have a mesh system, try moving one of the nodes to the back windowsill of your home to extend Wi-Fi into the backyard.

Switching from a single router to a mesh system is a better upgrade if you need to extend that Wi-Fi coverage.

I’m not keen on Wi-Fi extenders, but they can sometimes be the most cost-effective way to get Wi-Fi to a single trouble spot.

On board were Artemis II astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.

As of Thursday, they became the first humans to go beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

One of the most fascinating aspects is also the trajectory that Artemis II will follow during its mission.

The Artemis II astronauts will travel approximately 10,300 kilometers beyond the moon, shattering all previous records for distance from Earth.

The closest approach by Artemis II to the lunar surface will be 7,400 kilometers, which will be reached during the flyby of the far side.

Meta has paused all its work with the data contracting firm Mercor while it investigates a major security breach that impacted the startup, two sources confirmed to WIRED.

Other major AI labs are also reevaluating their work with Mercor as they assess the scope of the incident, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mercor is one of a few firms that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI labs rely on to generate training data for their models.

AI labs are sensitive about this data because it can reveal to competitors—including other AI labs in the US and China—key details about the ways they train AI models.

Mercor contractors were not told exactly why their Meta projects were being paused.

French fries are delicious, but notoriously unhealthy.

Adding that microwave step could reduce the amount of oil used in the process, meaning you would absorb less fat with each bite.

French Fries and HealthAlthough popular, fried foods contain high levels of fat, which is linked to several health problems, including obesity and hypertension.

One of the main difficulties in frying, as the studies explain, is preventing the oil from penetrating the food.

In the early stages of the french fry process, in fact, the pores of the potato are filled with water, leaving no room for the oil.

On Friday, a Rome court ruled that Netflix's price increases over the last seven years were unlawful, and that the streamer must refund its Italian customers, Reuters reported.

Netflix apparently violated Italy's Consumer Code by changing the subscription price without a valid reason.

The lawsuit was originally filed by consumer group Movimento Consumatori, or Consumer Movement.

According to Mostaccio, over 25,000 Italian Netflix consumers have contacted Movimento Consumatori about the price hikes.

"In Europe and in Italy, market practices cannot derogate from the law, which, as the Court found, were violated by Netflix, which implemented unlawful price increases."

The age of agentic AI is upon us — whether we like it or not. What started with an innocent question-answer banter with ChatGPT back in 2022 has become an existential debate on job security and the rise of the machines.

Surpassing 150,000 GitHub stars in days, OpenClaw is already being deployed on local machines with deep system access. This is like a robot “maid” (Irona for Richie Rich fans…

The security industry has spent the last year talking about models, copilots, and agents, but a quieter shift is happening one layer below all of that: Vendors are lining up around a shared way to describe security data. The Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF), is emerging as one of the strongest candidates for that job.It gives vendors, enterprises, and practitioners a common way to represent security events, findings, objects, and context. That means less time rewriting field names and custom parsers and more time correlating detections, running analytics, and building workflows that can work across products. In a market where every security team is stitching together endpoint, ide…

Are you a subscriber to Anthropic's Claude Pro ($20 monthly) or Max ($100-$200 monthly) plans and use its Claude AI models and products to power third-party AI agents like OpenClaw? If so, you're in for an unpleasant surprise. Anthropic announced a few hours ago that starting tomorrow, Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET, it will no longer be possible for those Claude subscribers to use their subscriptions to hook Anthropic's Claude models up to third-party agentic tools, citing the strain such usage was placing on Anthropic's compute and engineering resources, and desire to serve a wide number of users reliably. "We’ve been working hard to meet the increase in demand for Claude, a…

AI vibe coders have yet another reason to thank Andrej Karpathy, the coiner of the term. The former Director of AI at Tesla and co-founder of OpenAI, now running his own independent AI project, recently posted on X describing a "LLM Knowledge Bases" approach he's using to manage various topics of research interest. By building a persistent, LLM-maintained record of his projects, Karpathy is solving the core frustration of "stateless" AI development: the dreaded context-limit reset.As anyone who has vibe coded can attest, hitting a usage limit or ending a session often feels like a lobotomy for your project. You’re forced to spend valuable tokens (and time) reconstructing context for the AI,…

The baton of open source AI models has been passed on between several companies over the years since ChatGPT debuted in late 2022, from Meta with its Llama family to Chinese labs like Qwen and z.ai. But lately, Chinese companies have started pivoting back towards proprietary models even as some U.S. labs like Cursor and Nvidia release their own variants of the Chinese models, leaving a question mark about who will originate this branch of technology going forward. One answer: Arcee, a San Francisco based lab, which this week released AI Trinity-Large-Thinking—a 399-billion parameter text-only reasoning model released under the uncompromisingly open Apache 2.0 license, allowing for full cust…

For the past two years, enterprises evaluating open-weight models have faced an awkward trade-off. Google's Gemma line consistently delivered strong performance, but its custom license — with usage restrictions and terms Google could update at will — pushed many teams toward Mistral or Alibaba's Qwen instead. Legal review added friction. Compliance teams flagged edge cases. And capable as Gemma 3 was, "open" with asterisks isn't the same as open.Gemma 4 eliminates that friction entirely. Google DeepMind's newest open model family ships under a standard Apache 2.0 license — the same permissive terms used by Qwen, Mistral, Arcee, and most of the open-weight ecosystem. No custom clauses, no "H…

Microsoft on Wednesday launched three new foundational AI models it built entirely in-house — a state-of-the-art speech transcription system, a voice generation engine, and an upgraded image creator — marking the most concrete evidence yet that the $3 trillion software giant intends to compete directly with OpenAI, Google, and other frontier labs on model development, not just distribution.The trio of models — MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 — are available immediately through Microsoft Foundry and a new MAI Playground. They span three of the most commercially valuable modalities in enterprise AI: converting speech to text, generating realistic human voice, and creating image…

Every enterprise running AI coding agents has just lost a layer of defense. On March 31, Anthropic accidentally shipped a 59.8 MB source map file inside version 2.1.88 of its @anthropic-ai/claude-code npm package, exposing 512,000 lines of unobfuscated TypeScript across 1,906 files. The readable source includes the complete permission model, every bash security validator, 44 unreleased feature flags, and references to upcoming models Anthropic has not announced. Security researcher Chaofan Shou broadcast the discovery on X by approximately 4:23 UTC. Within hours, mirror repositories had spread across GitHub.Anthropic confirmed the exposure was a packaging error caused by human error. No cus…

When Intuit shipped AI agents to 3 million customers, 85% came back. The reason, according to the company's EVP and GM: combining AI with human expertise turned out to matter more than anyone expected — not less.Marianna Tessel, the financial software company’s EVP and GM, calls this AI-HI combination a “massive ask” from its customers, noting that it provides another level of confidence and trust. “One of the things we learned that has been fascinating is really the combination of human intelligence and artificial intelligence,” Tessel said in a new VB Beyond the Pilot podcast. “Sometimes it's the combination of AI and HI that gives you better results.”Chatbots alone aren’t the answer Intu…

As generative AI matures from a novelty into a workplace staple, a new friction point has emerged: the "shadow AI" or "Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)" crisis. Much like the unsanctioned use of personal devices in years past, developers and knowledge workers are increasingly deploying autonomous agents on personal infrastructure to manage their professional workflows."Our journey with Kilo Claw has been to make it easier and easier and more accessible to folks," says Kilo co-founder Scott Breitenother. Today, the company dedicated to providing a portable, multi-model, cloud-based AI coding environment is moving to formalize this "shadow AI" layer: it's launching KiloClaw for Organizations and Kil…

Attackers stole a long-lived npm access token belonging to the lead maintainer of axios, the most popular HTTP client library in JavaScript, and used it to publish two poisoned versions that install a cross-platform remote access trojan. The malicious releases target macOS, Windows, and Linux. They were live on the npm registry for roughly three hours before removal.Axios gets more than 100 million downloads per week. Wiz reports it sits in approximately 80% of cloud and code environments, touching everything from React front-ends to CI/CD pipelines to serverless functions. Huntress detected the first infections 89 seconds after the malicious package went live and confirmed at least 135 com…

Deploying AI agents for repository-scale tasks like bug detection, patch verification, and code review requires overcoming significant technical hurdles. One major bottleneck: the need to set up dynamic execution sandboxes for every repository, which are expensive and computationally heavy. Using large language model (LLM) reasoning instead of executing the code is rising in popularity to bypass this overhead, yet it frequently leads to unsupported guesses and hallucinations. To improve execution-free reasoning, researchers at Meta introduce "semi-formal reasoning," a structured prompting technique. This method requires the AI agent to fill out a logical certificate by explicitly stating pr…

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz highlighted in his RSA Conference 2026 keynote that the fastest recorded adversary breakout time has dropped to 27 seconds. The average is now 29 minutes, down from 48 minutes in 2024. That is how much time defenders have before a threat spreads. Now CrowdStrike sensors detect more than 1,800 distinct AI applications running on enterprise endpoints, representing nearly 160 million unique application instances. Every one generates detection events, identity events, and data access logs flowing into SIEM systems architected for human-speed workflows.Cisco found that 85% of surveyed enterprise customers have AI agent pilots underway. Only 5% moved agents into produ…

“Your AI? It’s my AI now.” The line came from Etay Maor, VP of Threat Intelligence at Cato Networks, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat at RSAC 2026 — and it describes exactly what happened to a U.K. CEO whose OpenClaw instance ended up for sale on BreachForums. Maor's argument is that the industry handed AI agents the kind of autonomy it would never extend to a human employee, discarding zero trust, least privilege, and assume-breach in the process.The proof arrived on BreachForums three weeks before Maor’s interview. On February 22, a threat actor using the handle “fluffyduck” posted a listing advertising root shell access to the CEO’s computer for $25,000 in Monero or Litecoin. T…

Slack today announced more than 30 new capabilities for Slackbot, its AI-powered personal agent, in what amounts to the most sweeping overhaul of the workplace messaging platform since Salesforce acquired it for $27.7 billion in 2021. The update transforms Slackbot from a simple conversational assistant into a full-spectrum enterprise agent that can take meeting notes across any video provider, operate outside the Slack application on users' desktops, execute tasks through third-party tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and even serve as a lightweight CRM for small businesses — all without requiring users to install anything new.The announcement, timed to a keynote event that Salesf…

Bloom Card pros and cons Pros Better app than Brick.

A friend of mine and fellow Brick user told me about the Bloom Card and gave me one of his own.

BrickFirst things first: the Bloom Card is $39, whereas the Brick is $54.

In essence, the Bloom Card does the same thing as the Brick.

The Brick is far stricter, and I hope the Brick never offers up breaks because of the counter-productivity of this Bloom feature.

A Roman court has given Netflix the bill for nearly a decade of price increases.

The ruling, catalogued as sentence 4993/2026, affects up to 5.4 million current Italian subscribers and an unquantified number of former subscribers who cancelled during the relevant period.

The Standard plan reached €13.99 over the same period.

Current subscription prices must be reduced: the Premium plan to €11.99 and the Standard plan to €9.99, the levels that applied before the first unlawful increase.

The timing of the Italian ruling adds another layer of complexity.

In short: AI-powered “vibe coding” tools have driven an 84% jump in new app submissions to Apple’s App Store in a single quarter, according to reporting by The Information, the largest surge in a decade.

Apple’s App Store is receiving more new apps than at any point in the past ten years.

According to reporting by The Information, the number of new apps submitted to the App Store rose 84% in a single quarter as vibe coding went mainstream.

The problem for Apple is that the same dynamic that makes vibe coding commercially compelling is structurally incompatible with how the App Store review process works.

The practice, labelled “BrowserGate” by researchers, is not disclosed in LinkedIn’s privacy policy.

What it is looking forThe question of which extensions LinkedIn is scanning for makes the surveillance more sensitive than simple fraud detection would require.

LinkedIn began scanning for 38 specific extensions in 2017.

The regulatory backdropThis is not LinkedIn’s first serious encounter with European data protection enforcement.

The relationship between LinkedIn’s data collection practices and Microsoft’s broader AI ambitions is not addressed in LinkedIn’s privacy policy either.

A clause quietly buried in the document labels Copilot “for entertainment purposes only” and warns users not to rely on it for important advice.

The terms apply to consumer Copilot products; the enterprise-facing Microsoft 365 Copilot is excluded from the clause.

“Entertainment purposes only” is not language typically associated with a product charging at those rates.

In surveys of lapsed Copilot users, 44.2% cited distrust of answers as the primary reason they had stopped using the tool.

The “entertainment purposes only” clause looks rather less like a legal technicality in that context, and rather more like an accurate description.

A week bookended by Mistral’s $830 million debt raise and a €1.1 million workpod pre-seed is a useful reminder of how wide the band of European ambition now runs.

The deal, expected to close around June 2026, would make IQM the first European quantum computing company to list on a major US stock exchange.

The company currently protects 15 million people across 32+ countries and has set a target of 100 million users by 2030.

The grant covers front-end engineering and design, permitting, and commercial preparation ahead of a final investment decision targeted for mid-2026.

The company has deployed 15 pods across Switzerland and made its first international move with a unit in Toulouse, France.

In short: Anthropic has blocked Claude Pro and Max subscribers from using their flat-rate plans with third-party AI agent frameworks, starting with OpenClaw.

Anthropic has ended a quiet subsidy that made its Claude models the engine of choice for the open-source AI agent community.

“Anthropic’s subscriptions weren’t built for the usage patterns of these third-party tools,” said Boris Cherny, Head of Claude Code at Anthropic.

On 14 February 2026, Steinberger announced he was leaving his own project to join OpenAI.

For an AI industry that spent 2025 racing to acquire users, 2026 is increasingly about working out who actually pays for them, and how much.

In short: Meta has suspended its collaboration with Mercor, a $10 billion AI data startup, after a supply chain attack exposed what may be the AI industry’s most closely guarded secrets: not just personal data, but the training methodologies that power the world’s leading large language models.

When hackers poisoned a widely used open-source library last month, they did not just steal personal data.

The startup behind the curtainMercor is not a household name, but it sits at a critical juncture of the AI economy.

But what has alarmed Meta and drawn the attention of other AI labs is a different category of information entirely.

The Mercor incident suggests the same logic applies, perhaps mor…

In short: WHOOP has raised $575 million in a Series G round that values the screenless health wearable company at $10.1 billion — nearly three times its 2021 valuation.

Expanding into clinical territoryIn May 2025, WHOOP launched WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG, its first medical-grade device.

In September 2025, the company opened its Advanced Labs service to a 350,000-person waitlist after previewing it earlier in the year.

In March 2026, WHOOP launched a dedicated women’s health panel covering 11 biomarkers relevant to cycle regulation and hormonal transitions.

At $10.1 billion, WHOOP is now valued at roughly one quarter of Garmin, which has a market capitalisation of approximately $40 billion but…

Keeper Security, the Chicago-based cybersecurity company best known for its password management platform, is attempting to close that gap with KeeperDB, a new capability that embeds database access controls directly into its privileged access management (PAM) platform.

CERT-EU has attributed a major data breach at the European Commission to cybercrime group TeamPCP, which exploited a supply chain attack on the open-source security tool Trivy to steal 92 GB of compressed data from the Commission’s AWS infrastructure.

The breach exposes the fragility of the open-source software supply chain that underpins the security tools governments rely on.

The attack began on 19 March when the European Commission unknowingly downloaded a compromised version of Trivy, a widely used open-source vulnerability scanner maintained by Aqua Security.

Between 19 and 27 March, TeamPCP conducted what Palo Alto Networks called a systematic campaign against open-source security inf…

Nvidia has invested $2 billion in Marvell Technology and folded the chipmaker into its NVLink Fusion ecosystem, creating a partnership that covers custom AI accelerators, silicon photonics, and 5G/6G infrastructure.

Every NVLink Fusion platform must include at least one Nvidia product, whether a CPU, GPU, or switch.

The company’s custom AI XPU business generated $1.5 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue and is expected to double by fiscal 2028.

Marvell currently has 18 active custom silicon projects, including 12 devices for Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, and six for emerging AI customers.

By investing $2 billion and pulling Marvell into NVLink Fusion, Nvidia has effectively ensured that th…

SpaceX, Blue Origin, and a growing constellation of startups are now racing to make that vision real.

What is also real, scientists argue, is the physics that makes orbital computing spectacularly difficult at any meaningful scale.

Even OpenAI’s Sam Altman, who explored a multibillion-dollar investment in rocket maker Stoke Space as a potential SpaceX competitor for orbital data centres, has publicly called the concept “ridiculous” for the current decade.

None of this means orbital data centres will never exist.

The question scientists are asking is not whether space data centres are theoretically possible.

Six months after renegotiating the contract that once barred it from independently pursuing frontier AI, Microsoft has released three in-house models that directly challenge the partner it spent $13 billion cultivating.

Microsoft remains its single largest investor and its primary cloud infrastructure provider, and the two companies continue to share a platform in Foundry, which hosts both OpenAI and Microsoft models.

The broader AI model market is fragmenting along similar lines.

Suleyman has said it will take another year or two before the superintelligence team produces frontier-class language models.

But the premise on which it was built, that Microsoft needed OpenAI to compete in AI, i…

Shrinking season finale this weekYou’d be mistaken if you thought last week’s episode of Shrinking was the season finale … though you wouldn’t be alone in that mistake.

“So grateful to do a new story starting next season.”It doesn’t come as a surprise that Shrinking season four will focus on a new story.

The first season was about grief, season two was about forgiveness, and season 3 is focused on moving forward.

In a follow up post, Lawrence said that the fourth season of Shrinking will have the “same ensemble” cast as the current season.

What are your predictions for this week’s Shrinking season three finale?

$149 off / All-time lowAmazon is now offering the best prices ever on the M5 MacBook Air at up to $149 off on both the 13-inch and 15-inch models.

While not all configurations and colorways are seeing the new all-time lows, several options are now at the lowest price we have tracked since release last month.

We certainly did not expect to catch the new M5 MacBook Air down this low quite this soon.

If you’re looking to land one in the early days here, a solid $149 price drop is a seriously notable one:Again, not every color on every storage/RAM configuration has dropped the additional $100 here, but several of them have.

The Apple deals are flying for Easter Sunday, as we also just spotted a…

It’s also not at all a secret that Apple is working on a redesign for its MacBook Pro lineup.

First things first, when I say M5 MacBook Pro – I specifically mean the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5, not the M5 Pro or M5 Max models.

Redesign only coming to M6 Pro and M6 MaxAt least as things stand today, Apple will be launching its MacBook Pro redesign only on the high-end models.

Well, if history is to be followed – you might see a base model MacBook Pro with the new redesign sometime in 2028.

Wrap upIf you’re a potential MacBook Pro buyer, but you aren’t quite in the $2000+ price range, then the current M5 MacBook Pro will more than likely be your best bet for the next couple years.

VariAlarm also takes advantage of the new alarms API in iOS 26 to provide a native feeling experience.

HyperDrive Next aims to bridge that gap, by bringing incredible performance to external drives for your Mac.

This means it’s useful for not only SSDs, but also other M.2 cards, like AI accelerators and networking cards.

The enclosure offers two USB-C ports, one for throughput and one for external power, to support such.

As for SSD speeds, I’ve tested using my 2TB WD Black SN850X and hit write speeds as high as 3167MB/s and read speeds as high as 3092MB/s.

Nonetheless, the fantastic peak speeds, excellent aluminum enclosure, water and dust resistance (when using the included silicone case), and versatility make the HyperDrive Next a fantastic enclosure for your M.2 accessories.

Apple 50th Exhibit, Photo Credit: Meriam Al SultanThis story is part of 9to5Mac’s series celebrating Apple’s 50th anniversary.

The company recently opened an exhibition on campus displaying some of their most iconic products from over the years alongside photographs of memorable moments.

Thanks to Meriam Al Sultan on X, we all can get a look at the exhibit.

The iPod case in particular displays the original iPod, iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, and iPod touch.

I think my favorite parts of the exhibit are the prints of students using Apple products, reminding everyone why this all matters in the first place.

While that on its own is interesting, I think the implication behind it is far more worth talking about.

Despite being one of the most well positioned companies to roll out personal AI, Apple has still largely failed to do so, even well over 3 years after the AI hype cycle started.

Either way, for the first time in well over a decade, Apple seems interested in investing in its pro software once again, now that there’s a subscription incentive.

If you’re a heavy user of the Messages app and iMessage, you’re probably well aware of how many awkward bugs it has.

We’ve already seen one example of this with the new Apple Invites app that launched last year.

I’ve had the MacBook Neo for a month, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to use.

Earlier this year, NASA administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed that astronauts on the Artemis II mission would be allowed to ”fly with the latest smartphones.” Now, The New York Times has reported what it took to make that happen.

And although this is not the first time an iPhone has been on a space mission, Artemis II marks the first time NASA has given each crew member an iPhone so they can take photos and videos.

Apple said it wasn’t involved with NASA’s process for approving iPhones for the Artemis II mission.

You can watch an iPhone 17 Pro Max being packed into the suit of astronaut Jeremy Hansen in the video below:New iPhones are being packed into the suits of the Artemis II Crew!

Ex-Human, the developer behind Botify and Photify AI, is suing Apple over what it calls “arbitrary” App Store removals.

As for the Photify AI app, it has also generated its share of controversy for allowing users to “generate images of real people wearing revealing outfits without their consent,” according to the San Francisco Business Times.

Back to the lawsuit, Ex-Human alleges that both apps were removed from the App Store due to what Apple referred to as “dishonest or fraudulent activity.” Ex-Human alleges that Apple didn’t provide specific examples of what led to the removal.

Ex-Human argues that in the past, the App Store business development team classified the company as a “high-gro…

While sharing access to lights is possible, I find it much easier to use a product like the Onvis Smart Button instead.

The Onvis Smart Button is a battery-operated Apple Home remote built with Thread.

Using the Onvis Remote, I can tap the main button to close them and long-press to open them.

Wrap up on the Onvis Smart ButtonOverall, the Onvis Smart Button remains a solid addition to Apple Home in 2026.

It is a perfect way to give guests easy access to your smart home without having to teach them how to interact with it over SiriThe Onvis Smart Button can be purchased from Amazon or directly from Onvis.

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

Вечный источник сливов, the Information пишут, что OpenAI готовится выпустить GPT-5.4, который получит «экстремальный» режим рассуждений и контекстное окно объёмом 1 млн токенов вместо 400 тыс. в GPT-5.2. Честно говоря, эта гонка сейчас перестала так впечатлять как раньше.

Ну и да, в MacBook Neo два порта USB‑C с разными характеристиками: один — USB 3.0 (Type‑C) со скоростью передачи до 10 Гбит/с, другой — USB 2.0 (Type‑C), ограниченный 480 Мбит/с.Интересно, что внешней маркировки я на них не увидел, видимо, "должны знать" :)🔗 https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/04/macbook-neo-features-two-different-usb-ports/

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

Сразу две новости рядом: Eight Sleep, продающая умные аксессуары для матрасов, которые отслеживают режим сна и регулируют температуру, привлекла $50 млн при оценке в $1,5 млрд, тогда как в 2021 году её оценка составляла $500 млн. И это для меня удивительно - все тесты показали что их матрасы прямо никуда не годятся по точности отслеживания. Идея регуляции температуры во время сна все еще привлекательна, жаль что их не возят в разные страны.В это же время Whoop, производящая фитнес‑браслеты без экранов, сообщает, что планирует увеличить численность персонала максимум на 75% в 2026 году, создав более 600 должностей в преддверии вероятного IPO. Обычно перед IPO численость команды сокращают - в…

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

Тут происходит небольшая революция — появился репозиторий, в котором, как утверждается, научились заниматься обучением нейронок на чипах Apple Neural Engine напрямую. Сейчас ANE используются для запуска готовых моделей в основном, автор утверждает, что разобрал приватные API эппла, и теперь всё можно учить прямо на устройстве, не покупая себе очередной A100. В реальности, скорее всего, пользоваться этим будет нельзя, пока эппл явно не разрешит. Но фактически то, что автор репозитория показал, означает, что по сути нас ограничивает только софт, ограничения на уровне железа практически не существует. Хайпа, правда, многовато, т.к. устройства с ANE конечно не рассчитаны на ту огромную и долгов…

ByteDance показали «Project Swan», который выйдет в этом году. Это новый VR шлем с микродисплеем OLED с разрешением 4000 PPI, и новой же Pico OS 6.

Финансирование Anthropic в размере более 60 миллиардов долларов, половина которого поступила всего в прошлом месяце от более чем 200 инвесторов, теперь находится под угрозой из-за контрактного спора компании с Пентагоном.Так пишет Axios, но мне что-то кажется, что зря они переживают.
