Cursor launches a web app to manage AI coding agents

The company behind Cursor, the viral AI coding editor, launched a web app on Monday that allows users to manage a network of coding agents directly from their browser. The launch marks Cursor’s next big step beyond its integrated development environment (IDE), the core product developers use to access its tools. While Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, initially offered only this AI-powered IDE, the company has made a concerted effort to put its products in more places, and develop more agen

Hate the leaked Nothing Phone 3 design? These new leaks are bad news for you

TL;DR New leaked images add weight to the previously leaked renders of the Nothing Headphone 1 and Nothing Phone 3. In these leaked images, the Nothing Headphone 1 appears once again with its retro-futuristic cassette-inspired look. Meanwhile, the images for the Nothing Phone 3 indicate we might have to make our peace with the asymmetric and misaligned rear camera setup and the busy back panel. Nothing is set to launch the Nothing Phone 3 and the Nothing Headphone 1 tomorrow, July 1. Ahead of

What Happens After A.I. Destroys College Writing?

On a blustery spring Thursday, just after midterms, I went out for noodles with Alex and Eugene, two undergraduates at New York University, to talk about how they use artificial intelligence in their schoolwork. When I first met Alex, last year, he was interested in a career in the arts, and he devoted a lot of his free time to photo shoots with his friends. But he had recently decided on a more practical path: he wanted to become a C.P.A. His Thursdays were busy, and he had forty-five minutes u

FBI: Cybercriminals steal health data posing as fraud investigators

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned Americans of cybercriminals impersonating health fraud investigators to steal their sensitive information. As the federal law enforcement agency cautioned in a Friday public service announcement, scammers posing as "legitimate health insurers and their investigative team members" are emailing or messaging potential victims to pressure them into providing personal or health data that can later be used for fraudulent purposes. "These criminals

Meet Jim O’Neill, the longevity enthusiast who is now RFK Jr.’s right-hand man

Although much less of a public figure than his new boss, O’Neill is quite well-known in the increasingly well-funded and tight-knit longevity community. His acquaintances include the prominent longevity influencer Bryan Johnson, who describes him as “a soft-spoken, thoughtful, methodical guy,” and the billionaire tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel.

I’ve tried every browser, but this is the one that works best for me

Andy Walker / Android Authority I open Microsoft Edge, and everything just feels right. It’s not flashy or experimental. It’s stable, fast, and capable. It “just works.” I’ve jumped between browsers over the years, the way someone tests mattresses. I’m always seeking that one that feels just right. But no matter what I try, I keep returning to Edge. Microsoft’s modern Chromium-based browser has earned my trust with thoughtful features, dependable performance, and a seamless cross-platform expe

The best iPhone accessories for 2025

There are often better and cheaper alternatives to Apple’s first-party accessories, but the company’s MagSafe wireless charger is worth considering if you have a new iPhone. Like all other MagSafe accessories, this charging pad uses magnets to attach to the back of the latest iPhones and it’s surprisingly strong. Not only can you safely pick up your handset and use it with the disk still attached, but the iPhone can dangle by the charger’s cord without falling off. (You still probably shouldn’t

The provenance memory model for C

In this article, I will try to explain what this is all about, namely on how a provenance model for pointers interferes with alias analysis of modern compilers. For those that are not fluent with the terminology or the concept we have a short intro what pointer aliasing is all about , a review of existing tools to help the compiler and inherent difficulties and then the proposed model itself . At the end there is a brief takeaway that explains how to generally avoid complications and loss of opt

Biologists Uncover Previously Unknown Structure Hiding Inside Human Cells

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed the hemifusome. This tiny membrane-bound structure serves as a cellular recycling center and may hold the key to treating several genetic diseases. The research has been published in Nature Communications. “This is like discovering a new recycling center inside the cell,” co-author Seham E

My AC system isn't blowing cold air - 5 easy and quick fixes that experts recommend

fhm/Getty Images It always happens during a heatwave. That moment of sinking dread when your AC unit kicks on, but instead of a refreshing blast of arctic air, you're met with a weak, lukewarm breeze. Then panic sets in. Is the AC dead? Is this going to cost a fortune? How will I get to sleep tonight in this stifling heat and humidity? While a truly broken AC unit can indeed be a headache and an expense, the good news is that it's not always a catastrophic failure. The reason your system isn't

Many ransomware strains will abort if they detect a Russian keyboard installed (2021)

In a Twitter discussion last week on ransomware attacks, KrebsOnSecurity noted that virtually all ransomware strains have a built-in failsafe designed to cover the backsides of the malware purveyors: They simply will not install on a Microsoft Windows computer that already has one of many types of virtual keyboards installed — such as Russian or Ukrainian. So many readers had questions in response to the tweet that I thought it was worth a blog post exploring this one weird cyber defense trick.

Scientists Playing God are Building Human DNA From the Ground Up

Image by Getty / Futurism Studies Biological science has made such astonishing leaps in the last few decades, such as precise gene editing, that scientists are now tackling the next logical — yet inherently controversial — step: fabricating human DNA from the ground up. Details are a bit vague, but a team of scientists in the United Kingdom have embarked on a new project to construct what they describe in a statement as the "first synthetic human chromosome." The scientists hope that the five

Gmail is making it easier to manage your newsletters and mailing lists on the web

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Gmail is rolling out a new “Manage subscriptions” page on its web client to help users easily declutter their inboxes. This page lists all your mailing lists, shows their email frequency, and provides a simple one-click unsubscribe button for each sender. The feature is gradually becoming available on the web and has been rolling out on the Android app since late April. Signing up for newsletters and mailing lists is a great way to stay up to date on

Cloudflare open-sources Orange Meets with End-to-End encryption

Cloudflare has implemented end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to its video calling app Orange Meets and open-sourced the solution for transparency. The application has been available since last year when the internet giant launched it as a demo for Cloudflare Calls (now Realtime).

I switched to a Wi-Fi-enabled smart lock with facial recognition - and can't go back

ZDNET's key takeaways As part of its Zeno Series, Lockly's Visage smart lock is available now for $349. The Lockly Visage comes with facial ID support, automatic unlocking when you're near, and Apple Home Kit compatibility.

Why Go Rocks for Building a Lua Interpreter

By Roxy Light I recently needed to build a custom Lua interpreter in Go. The exact reasons aren’t important for this blog post, but neither the reference implementation — which I will be referring to as “C Lua” throughout this article — nor the other open source Go Lua intepreters I could find were a good fit for my needs. Building a Lua interpreter ended up being a rather enjoyable months-long side quest. I’ve had a number of folks ask me to write about the experience since these sorts of proj

Beyond the Hook: A Technical Deep Dive into Modern Phishing Methodologies

A technical exploration of modern phishing tactics, from basic HTML pages to advanced MFA-bypassing techniques, with analysis of infrastructure setup and delivery methods used by phishers in 2025. Introduction In 2025, phishing is still the most prevalent kind of cyber attack on the planet. Indeed, 1.2% of the global email traffic is phishing. That's 3.4 billion emails each day, but only a low number results in a compromise since "only" 3% of employees would click on a malicious link. However,

Scientists Launch Wild New Project to Build a Human Genome From Scratch

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human genome and transform our understanding of health and disease. But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full synthetic human genomes, wary of propelling us into a dystopian, Gattaca-esque future full of designer babies. Now,

Hollywood’s pivot to AI video has a prompting problem

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. It has become almost impossible to browse the internet without having an AI-generated video thrust upon you. Open basically any social media platform, and it won’t be long until an uncanny-looking clip of a fake natural disaster or animals doing impossible things slides across your screen. Most of the videos look absolutely terrible.

Happy hour with Gemini: How I built my perfect summer bartender

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority If you open the liquor cabinets (plural) in my home, you’ll find an eclectic collection of spirits ranging from the mundane to the random and unique bottles my husband and I have bought in some small or unknown town during our travels. My husband likes to joke that I gifted him a basic bartending course and now I’m benefiting from it, but in my mind, it was a sound financial investment for both of us. The problem, though, is that there isn’t a course varied e
