OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5 in August

is a senior editor and author of Notepad , who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. Earlier this year, I heard that Microsoft engineers were preparing server capacity for OpenAI’s next-generation GPT-5 model, arriving as soon as late May. After some additional testing and delays, sources familiar with OpenAI’s plans tell me that GPT-5 is now expected to launch as early as next month. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently revealed on X that “we are releasing GPT-5 so

Google’s Pixel Watch 4 might charge on its side

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Google’s rumored Pixel Watch 4 may charge on its side rather than on its back, based on leaked official renders of the watch published by Android Headlines. The watch may also get a roughly 25 percent improvement in charging speed over the Pixel Watch 3. Without charging contacts on the back, the Pixel Watch 4 will now have a “new array of sensors,” Android Headlines says. Th

Pixel Watch 4 leak shows off a new way to charge

TL;DR A leak has provided new renders of the Pixel Watch 4 and its charging dock. The smartwatch is reported to have a new charger that allows the device to rest on its side. The charging contacts will be located on the left side of the device instead of the back. The Pixel 10 series has been getting plenty of attention lately, with leaks about the colorways, official teases, and more. But it looks like the phones won’t be the only Google hardware we get early information on this week. Now th

Mitel warns of critical MiVoice MX-ONE authentication bypass flaw

Mitel Networks has released security updates to patch a critical-severity authentication bypass vulnerability impacting its MiVoice MX-ONE enterprise communications platform. MX-ONE is the company's SIP-based communications system, which can scale to support hundreds of thousands of users.

Google Skips Right to Leaking the Whole Pixel 10 Lineup

If you were looking forward to Google’s upcoming summer event and all of the surprises about Pixel hardware it may reveal, you may want to stop reading.

This Simple Bed Frame Took Me Less Than 5 Minutes to Put Together. Yes, I Timed It

CNET's key takeaways The Helix Madison bed frame, available in natural wood or white, is $929 for a queen before sales. It's straightforward to put together and requires no tools. That said, the frame is a little expensive and incompatible with headboards. My beautiful, four-poster bed frame broke a few months ago. Immediately afterward, as I was lying there, slowly sliding to the corner of my mattress that had plummeted to the ground (from a decent height, I might add), I cursed that antiq

Here’s your first look at Battlefield 6

The trailer offers a first look at Pax Armata, a Private Military Corporation bankrolled by former NATO states whose agenda threatens to throw the world into global conflict. This sets the scene for what players can expect on the battlefield — both in multiplayer and the return of the series’ single player campaign. In Battlefield 6, the series’ incredible blend of visceral combat, epic warfare, and player freedom returns. Blow through walls and bring down buildings for a tactical advantage or

Google is readying its next set of hardware announcements, and has already confirmed that the Pixel 10 series is launching next month.

But beyond the few tidbits Google has shared officially, there’s an awful lot more we think we know about the Pixel 10 line thanks to leaks, from which pho

Samsung backs a video AI startup that can analyze thousands of hours of footage

Many AI tools can look at a video today and summarize what is going on, but things become a bit tricky when you ask models questions about multiple videos and footage spanning many hours. This is a big limitation for security companies that want to use AI to scrub through thousands of hours of footage from different cameras, as well as marketing companies that want to study different video campaigns and product shoots. Memories.ai wants to tackle that problem with its AI platform that can proc

Tesla Turns to a Classic Tactic to Spark a Buying Frenzy

If you’ve been thinking about buying a Tesla, the company has a direct and urgent message for you: the clock is ticking, and time is running out. During a conference call with analysts on Wednesday, Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer, Vaibhav Taneja, issued a stark warning to potential U.S. customers. The popular $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles is set to expire permanently on September 30th, and the company is signaling that it may not be able to fulfill orders for customers who wa

Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b

What does connecting with someone mean?

Published on 24th July 2025 Connect I read a lot about the idea of connecting with people. They say it's the reason to get good at conversation — so you can connect. A problem I had with this advice is I couldn't find a good explanation of what connecting means. It means mutual empathy — they get you and you get them. It's discovering similar values, experiences and perspectives. It's a feeling of trust and comfort where you both feel safe to say what is truly on your mind. That feeling is wh

SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 Review: Good Budget Gaming Mice

Over the years, computer mice have become expensive. Everything has become expensive. It can be frustrating to look at a list of gaming mice and see even the cheapest options approaching $80, especially when games now cost $80 and new graphics cards regularly pass the $1,000 mark. This is where budget-oriented mice are perfect. Most high-end mice are past the point of diminishing returns for the average gamer, with most never needing the precision of a perfectly balanced, ultra-lightweight, 8,0

Tesla shares drop 6% in premarket trading after auto sales plunge again

Elon Musk, during a news conference with President Donald Trump, inside the Oval Office at the White House in Washington on May 30, 2025. Tesla shares fell 6% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company reported a second straight quarter of declining automotive sales. Elon Musk's electric carmaker reported a top and bottom line miss on second-quarter results, noting that automotive revenue fell 16% year-on-year to $16.7 billion. On an earnings call, Musk said Tesla "probably could have

The best music headphones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

In theory, all headphones should sound great when you're listening to music, but not all are specifically designed to provide a high-quality music listening experience. That's not always a bad thing, as some headphones are built more to offer lots of features and good noise-cancelation, while others focus more on a sleek and stylish design. Still, some headphones are designed more with high-quality sound in mind. These headphones don't always have excellent noise-cancelation or some of the high

Laptop CPUs in 2025 Explained: What to Know Before Buying Your Next Laptop

Shopping for a new laptop can be a confusing experience. I find the best place to start is with size. Do you want a featherlight ultraportable or a larger model that has a bigger screen but is more of a chore to lug around? Or something in between that offers a balance between portability and productivity? Deciding on factors as straightforward as size actually goes a long way in helping choose more complex parts, including the processor. You'll still be faced with a variety of CPU options, but

Florida Is Now a Haven for Unproven Stem-Cell Treatments

Florida is the latest state to sidestep the authority of the Food and Drug Administration by allowing patients to access certain stem-cell treatments that have not been rigorously evaluated and approved. Under a new law that went into effect July 1, doctors in Florida can administer unapproved stem-cell therapies for wound care, pain management, or orthopedic purposes. The law comes amid growing support for medical freedom in the United States, an idea espoused by Health and Human Services secr

We found Google’s next Pixel-only calling feature and it’s borrowed from Apple (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google may be launching a new AI-powered “Call Message” feature that acts like an on-device voicemail with live transcriptions and summaries. The feature works offline without using data or Wi-Fi and is likely powered by Gemini Nano. Like many AI features Google debuts with new Pixel phones, Call Message could be a Pixel 10 exclusive launching next month. Google already packs its Pixel phones with a bunch of smart calling features like Call Screening

Distillation makes AI models smaller and cheaper

The Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a chatbot earlier this year called R1, which drew a huge amount of attention. Most of it focused on the fact that a relatively small and unknown company said it had built a chatbot that rivaled the performance of those from the world’s most famous AI companies, but using a fraction of the computer power and cost. As a result, the stocks of many Western tech companies plummeted; Nvidia, which sells the chips that run leading AI models, lost more stock valu

Americans Are Obsessed With Watching Short Video Dramas From China

My partner recently confessed something to me about his screen-time habits: When he’s giggling at his phone, he’s often watching short English-language soap operas that have begun showing up on his social feeds. The plots are basic, the acting is exaggerated, and the performers are stereotypically good-looking, but the constant twists and turns keep him spellbound and wanting more. I knew exactly where these videos were coming from. It’s been four years since I first heard about the exploding p
