The debut of women’s soccer was actually announced way back in 2021, and was supposed to feature in Football Manage

Known. Emerging. Unstoppable? Ransomware Attacks Still Evade Defenses

No, it's not new or particularly exotic, but after years of attacks, ransomware continues to rank among the most destructive threats facing global organizations today. Even with security teams pouring significant resources into prevention and detection efforts, attackers are still finding ways to bypass their defenses. Double extortion has become the default approach, with groups encrypting systems and stealing sensitive data for leverage. Some actors are now skipping the encryption step entir

Court lets NSF keep swinging axe at $1B in research grants

A US court has cleared the way for the National Science Foundation to press ahead with the cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion. The ruling, handed down this week by Judge Jia Cobb of the DC District Court, rejects a request from researchers, universities and scientific societies to reinstate the cancelled grants while the case is heard. The plaintiffs had argued that NSF's mass terminations were arbitrary, unlawful and would do irreparable harm to the cou

As Android developer verification gets ready to go, a new reason to be worried

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps. Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate. One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection. Android’s approach to software openness is changing in some fundamental ways right now, and the shift has not been

I regret building this $3000 Pi AI cluster

I ordered a set of 10 Compute Blades in April 2023 (two years ago), and they just arrived a few weeks ago. In that time Raspberry Pi upgraded the CM4 to a CM5, so I ordered a set of 10 16GB CM5 Lite modules for my blade cluster. That should give me 160 GB of total RAM to play with. This was the biggest Pi cluster I've built, and it set me back around $3,000, shipping included: There's another Pi-powered blade computer, the Xerxes Pi. It's smaller and cheaper, but it just wrapped up its own Kic

The Next ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Arc Is Getting the Big Movie Treatment

In what’s sure to put a bow on an already banner year for anime, both streaming and in theaters, Gkids officially announced it’s giving Jujutsu Kaisen‘s forthcoming Culling Game Arc a sneak peek episodic release in theaters ahead of its third season this December. In the same vein as Gkids’ other anime theatrical events for shows like Dan Da Dan and Witch Watch, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution will combine “the best of the Shibuya Incident arc”—the big climactic battle from its second season—as well

Would You Use a Mouse With a Fake ‘Click?’

Logitech’s race to offer an esports mouse with the fastest response time has led us to a mouse that’s completely different than any I’ve used before. Mice have relied on the same type of microswitches for their button clicks for so long, it’s hard to imagine what would be next. So I didn’t know what to think when I sat down in front of the $180 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse that doesn’t “click” in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses haptics to offer a facsimile of the classic click sen

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 16: How They Compare and Which to Buy

Apple's iPhone 17 is now available on store shelves, along with the super skinny iPhone Air and the powerful iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. You may be wondering whether to get the shiny new baseline iPhone 17 or buy last year's iPhone 16, which now costs $100 less. To help with that decision, here's a breakdown of how the two handsets compare. The iPhone 17 starts at $829 (or $799 if you activate with a carrier), the same as the iPhone 16 when it came out -- with the caveat that the iPhone 17 st

I've Tried Huawei's Watch GT 6 Pro, and It's a Great Apple Watch Alternative

Due to ongoing restrictions, Huawei doesn't officially sell its products in the US. That's too bad, as the company is bringing a great Apple Watch Series 11 alternative to the rest of the world, where it can sell its devices. The company's latest Watch GT 6 Pro is a solid all-around smartwatch promising deep health and sports tracking along with strong battery life.

What Is a High Refresh Rate? Explaining 120 Hz on Phones, TVs, and Monitors

Many of our favorite TVs and monitors feature displays with high refresh rates, promising smoother on-screen action and a sharper picture. The same is true for the best Android phones and all of Apple's iPhone Pro models (since the 13 Pro and onward). Today, every iPhone 17 model can reach a 120-Hz refresh rate. It has become standard across the board. High refresh rates are frequently discussed in gaming, where fast reactions and instant on-screen updates can mean the difference between victor

Tour our smart home reviewer’s smart backyard

When The Verge’s senior smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, offered to give us a tour of her smart backyard, I was thrilled. Firstly, I have never seen a technologically advanced backyard curated by an industry expert before, and secondly, I wasn’t even sure what to expect. My vision of a smart home includes automated vacuums, a smart thermostat, and maybe one of those AI fridges that suggests recipes — all of which work within controlled environments and are built around making life i

There is a certain degree of body horror baked into American football that becomes readily apparent whenever players sustain gruesome, career-ending injuries on camera. For some, football’s overt violence is part of its appeal, and players are seen as people who have chosen to risk their safety in pursuit of fame and glory. Over the y

How developers are using Apple’s local AI models with iOS 26

The company touted that with this framework, developers gain access to AI models without worrying about any inference cost. Plus, these local models have capabilities such as guided generation and tool calling built in. As iOS 26 is rolling out to all users, developers have been updating their apps to include

Octopus Energy spins off its Kraken utility billing and AI platform

British renewable energy provider Octopus Energy said this week that it’s spinning off Kraken, its tech platform for utilities, spurred in part by $500 million in committed annual revenue from other utilities and energy providers. An eventual Kraken IPO could be valued at $15 billion and could occur within a year, according to The Wall Street Journal. Kraken was actually the company’s initial product, according to Octopus CEO Greg Jackson. “We created Octopus as the ‘demo client,’” he told the

No, the Pixel 10’s GPU isn’t underclocked. Here’s the proof

Robert Triggs / Android Authority When switching to any new technology, there’s always a subset of techies curious about how things work—myself included. One of the biggest changes in the Pixel 10 series is the Tensor G5 processor’s new PowerVR GPU, built by Imagination Technologies. Browsing through the graphics chip’s specs, a few things stand out. The core can support ray-tracing, but Google seems to have left this unimplemented. The peak GPU clock is reported at 1.1GHz; however, corners of
