Our 11 Favorite Air Quality Monitors We’ve Tried (2025)

wired.com Lisa Wood Shapiro 2025-07-26 00:02:00

In the past five years, I’ve tested dozens of indoor air-quality monitors but have relied on my iPhone’s Weather app to check outdoor air quality. On questionable days that might include haze or the smell of wildfire, I’ll check the government’s free AirNow website, where I’ll plug in my zip code and see its easy-to-read air quality meter. With the increasing wildfire activity from coast to coast, however, I realized it was time to test an outdoor air-quality monitor. The Zen is larger than the

What Actually Happens When Programmers Use AI Is Hilarious, According to a New Study

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-26 03:03:29

AI has taken the programming world by storm, with a flurry of speculation about the tech replacing human coders, and Google's CEO recently claiming that 25 percent of the company's code is now AI-generated. But it's possible that in practice, AI is actually hindering efficient software development. As flagged by Ars Technica, a new study from the nonprofit Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR) found that in practice, programmers are actually slower when using AI assistance tools than maki

While the impact of AI on tech hubs like San Francisco and Boston is already being felt, AI proponents believe it will transform work everywhere, and in every industry. The report uses various proxies for what the researchers call “AI readiness” to document how unevenly this supposed transformation is taking place.

My top pick for free VPNs available in 2025 is Proton VPN, which, despite its limits, will suit many users who do not want to subscribe. Why we like it: The free version of Proton VPN offers many useful features that are paid for through other services and VPN subscribers. This is important when it comes to free VPN services, as it provides a measure of security and data protection that some shady services do not.
