DJI Osmo Nano review: High-quality video in a truly tiny action cam

DJI might be an innovative company, but it has been playing catch-up to rival Insta360 in the action cam world. A perfect example of that is its latest product, the Osmo Nano ($299). It follows a path Insta360 paved with its tiny Go Ultra and Go 3S, which let you separate the cam from the display to shoot with the least weight possible. Like those, the Nano’s tiny camera can be detached from the screen and easily worn to record activities ranging from extreme watersports to cat cam videos. The

How to Use 1Password's Travel Mode at the Border (2025)

Searches at the US border are at an all-time high. Between April and June of this year, US Customs and Border Protection says it searched nearly 15,000 devices, outpacing the previous quarterly record by over 2,000. Combined with visitors allegedly being turned away for content on their devices and hours-long detentions at ports of entry, it’s reasonable to be a little worried about entering the US. There’s a lot you can do to protect yourself at the US border, but most people have at least som

Nvidia and OpenAI's $100 billion deal sparks global chip stock rally

Major global semiconductor stocks rose on Tuesday after Nvidia announced plans to invest $100 billion in OpenAI. The deal between Nvidia and OpenAI is on a large scale. OpenAI plans to build and deploy Nvidia systems that require 10 gigawatts of power, which is equivalent to 4 million and 5 million graphics processing units (GPUs), according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The news sparked a rally on Wall Street, with positive sentiment flowing through to the global chip sector and especially touc

Indoor surfaces act as sponges for harmful chemicals

Scientists injected volatile organic compounds into a test house and found large reservoirs for the potentially hazardous chemicals in porous surfaces such as wood, cement and paint. VOCs contained in insecticides, cigarette smoke and wildfire smoke can remain on indoor surfaces for as long as one year. Irvine, Calif., Sept. 22, 2025 — Indoor surfaces have an unexpectedly strong ability to absorb and hold harmful chemical compounds that can threaten human health for as long as a year, accordin

How Signal’s Meredith Whittaker Remembers SignalGate: ‘No Fucking Way’

In March of this year, Meredith Whittaker was at her kitchen table in Paris when Signal, the encrypted messaging service she runs, suddenly became an international headline. A colleague sent their group chat the story ricocheting across the globe: “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.” Of course, you know the rest: In the piece, The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, detailed how he’d been added to a Signal chat about an upcoming military operation in Yemen.

The common sense unit of work

What if we were to model a typical software development lifecycle in code? The unit of work would be the fundamental abstraction. We’d build state machines and workflows around it, carrying it from specification to deployment through activities performed by product managers, engineers, designers, and others. The process could be customised to each team’s needs, with all the bells and whistles. But fundamentally, its effectiveness and adaptability depends on how good this central abstraction is.

Rocket.new, one of India’s first vibe-coding startups, snags $15M from Accel, Salesforce Ventures

Rocket.new, an Indian startup building an AI-powered app development platform, has raised $15 million in a seed round led by Salesforce Ventures to take on viral vibe-coding rivals like Lovable, Cursor, and Bolt by letting users build full, production-ready apps from natural-language prompts rather than just quick prototypes. Accel and Together Fund joined Salesforce Ventures in the all-equity seed round, which comes only three months after Rocket.new launched its platform in beta in June. Sin

Nvidia Invests in OpenAI With $100 Billion AI Infrastructure Deal

OpenAI and Nvidia have struck one of the biggest partnerships in AI, with Nvidia pledging to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI while supplying the compute power needed to build the company's next generation of models. The deal, announced Monday in a letter of intent, calls for OpenAI to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia systems over the coming years.

How Nvidia and OpenAI's staggering $100 billion deal could fuel a new age of AI

NurPhoto/Contributor/NurPhoto via Getty Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways This deal seals an NVIDIA and OpenAI partnership for years. This deal is bigger than all of NVIDIA's other AI deals combined. All other AI software companies must be concerned.

AI-generated “workslop” is destroying productivity?

A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: while workers are largely following mandates to embrace the technology, few are seeing it create real value. Consider, for instance, that the number of companies with fully AI-led processes nearly doubled last year, while AI use has likewise doubled at work since 2023. Yet a recent report from the MIT Media Lab found that 95% of organizations see no measurable return on their investment in these technologies. So m

Why haven't local-first apps become popular?

Offline-first apps sound like the future: instant loading, privacy by default, and no more spinning loaders on flaky connections. But in practice, very few apps get offline support right. Most simply queue changes locally and push them when the network comes back (spoiler: this doesn’t really work). Eventually, users see a scary banner saying “changes may not be saved.” The reason is simple: syncing is hard. When you build a local-first app, you’ve effectively created a distributed system. Mu

Feds Suspiciously Revive the Name ‘Monkeypox’ After Dropping It in 2022

Under our current age of Trump, it’s frankly stranger when the federal government doesn’t do something completely unproductive. The latest bit of pointlessness? The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has switched back to using the name “monkeypox”—an outdated label for the disease mpox. NPR was the first to report on the name switchback, which appears to have been implemented sometime in the last month. Nearly three years ago, virologists pushed for monkeypox to be retired, both for b

When is your Google TV getting Gemini? Here’s what we know

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google announced today that Gemini is finally rolling out to Google TV — one of the company’s last remaining platforms that was still relying on the old Google Assistant experience. However, today’s announcement raises a looming question: When will your Google TV device receive Gemini? Google is notorious for its staggered rollout approach with new software features, and unfortunately, Gemini for Google TV is no different. Whether you have a Google TV stream

TikTok is tagging videos from Gaza with product recommendations

TikTok has been tagging videos from war-ravaged Gaza with product recommendations, as reported by The Verge . The publication detailed a scenario in which footage of a Palestinian woman walking amidst rubble presented TikTok shop recommendations that matched what she wore in the video. The algorithm suggested products with names like "Dubai Middle East Turkish Elegant Lace-Up Dress" and "Women’s Solid Color Knot Front Long Sleeve Dress." The original footage showed the woman searching for lost

Do We Really Need a 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Movie?

Prime Video's hit show The Summer I Turned Pretty officially wrapped its third and final season this month, and for those of us who have been fans of the books and the show, the end of Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah's years-long journeys inspired a lot of reactions. I was feeling all the usual emotions at the end of a show: sadness, anxiety over whether I would be satisfied with the ending and a burning curiosity to absorb any and all theories, fan edits and cast interviews online. It was during a

China Opens Bodega Entirely Run by Robot

When it comes to humanoid robots, there are plenty of reason to be skeptical. While tech investors chomp at the tiniest signs of progress in bipedal robotics, industry analysts caution that it’ll be years before the machines are ready for widespread adoption. Still, humanoid robotics make for a good novelty, as Chinese robotics firm Galbot makes clear with its urban kiosk staffed entirely by a robot. Called the “first fully autonomous humanoid-operate store,” the robodega made its grand openin
