Telegram's crypto wallet goes live to its 87 million U.S. users

Telegram users in the U.S. can now send, receive, and manage cryptocurrency directly inside the app — no downloads, extensions, or separate logins required. TON Wallet is built into Telegram's interface and is beginning its U.S. rollout this week. It is a self-custodial crypto wallet in which a user controls their own private keys. The service, developed by The Open Platform, which is known as TOP, and built on the TON blockchain, allows users to send stablecoins and other digital tokens to th

Apple almost open-sourced its AI models, here’s why it didn’t: report

There have been several major reported departures of late from Apple’s AI team. Today, a new report from The Information delves into the internal drama, including the story of Apple almost open-sourcing its AI models and why that didn’t happen. Behind the scenes of Apple’s recent AI exodus Aaron Tilley and Wayne Ma write at The Information: Earlier this year, the Apple team working on the company’s artificial intelligence models wanted to release several of them as open-source software. Doing

I know genomes and I didn’t delete my data from 23andMe

As word spread last year that 23andMe was about to go bankrupt, many of their millions of customers wondered if they should delete their data. Social and conventional media were quick to offer advice, sometimes coming from experts in genetics and genomics–my field, I should note–on how to go onto the 23andMe website and delete all of your data. In March of this year, the California attorney general issued a warning that 23andMe was “in financial distress,” and he told Californians that they oug

Telegram’s crypto wallet launches in the US

Telegram is expanding access to its crypto wallet for its 87 million users in the U.S. The TON wallet, named because it is built on the TON blockchain, is integrated directly into the Telegram app. By existing within the app, Telegram’s crypto wallet is supposed to form an easier onramp for new crypto users. Telegram has offered crypto wallets to international users since 2023, though it was unable to roll out in the US until now due to regulatory uncertainty. Telegram says more than 100 milli

21-year-old MIT dropouts raise $32M at $300M valuation led by Insight

Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar weren’t planning to raise a Series A so soon. Their AI compliance startup, Delve, which announced a $3 million seed round in January, was growing fast and signing customers at a steady clip. Then, inbound interest started rolling in, COO Kocalar told TechCrunch. Delve, which automates regulatory compliance with AI agents, ended up fielding multiple term sheets, eventually closing a $32 million Series A at a $300 million valuation.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's display is rated to withstand 500,000 folds

Samsung said the display it used for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be folded over twice as many times as the display used for the previous iterations of the model. The foldable OLED panel "remained fully functional" after certification company Bureau Veritas put it through a durability test, wherein it was folded 500,000 times over 13 days. That means if a user folds their phone roughly 100 times a day, the display could last for over 10 years. In its announcement, Samsung said that "durability is no

The developers at Boss Team Games have such sights to show you: the studio just announced that it’s taking the terrifying world of the classic Hellraiser films and turning it into a survival horror game. The new title is called Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, and somehow it’s the first gaming adaptation of the franchise, which has been around since 1987. According to the studio, the game will blend “survival horror with a single-player, story-driven action experience.” And, yes, there will

Five things you need to know about AI right now

3. AI is power hungry and getting hungrier. You’ve probably heard that AI is power hungry. But a lot of that reputation comes from the amount of electricity it takes to train these giant models, though giant models only get trained every so often. What’s changed is that these models are now being used by hundreds of millions of people every day. And while using a model takes far less energy than training one, the energy costs ramp up massively with those kinds of user numbers. ChatGPT, fo

Forget the Pixel 10 Pro. Here’s why the base Pixel 10 could be the best Pixel to buy this year

And with four new models expected, it’ll soon be time to choose which new Pixel is right for you.

The best Apple AirTag accessories for 2025

AirTags can also help you keep track of larger bags and luggage, and you could easily slip one into an interior pocket and call it a day. But if you’d rather hook the tracker to the outside, you’ll need something a bit larger and more flexible than a standard key ring. Belkin’s Secure Holder with Strap is a good option: it comes in different colors and it’s budget friendly at only $13. The case opens up into two pieces, allowing you to sit the AirTag inside the circle and twist and snap the two

The Morning After: This is the Pixel 10 (or maybe the Pixel 10 Pro)

While I wasn’t expecting a major design shakeup, Google revealed the design of its new Pixel phone, almost a month before the official launch event. You can take a look for yourself on the front page of the Google Store. A short video teaser reveals one of the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones. The device bears a similar appearance to the Pixel 9, with a back design that makes the camera unit protrude from the frame, similar to the Pixel 9 Pro. Oh, and an additional camera — if this is the base Pix

Kevin Feige Says Mephisto Was Never the Plan for ‘WandaVision’

By the time Mephisto, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, appeared at the end of Ironheart to strike a sinister deal with Riri Williams, it felt almost anticlimactic for Marvel fans. That’s because it was long anticipated that the character would appear on WandaVision, or perhaps, when that didn’t happen, its witchy spin-off Agatha All Along. There were certainly teases about it, but it wasn’t meant to be until Marvel’s most recent series—and that’s according to Kevin Feige himself. As reported by CBR
