Starting this month, you'll no longer be able to use Microsoft Authenticator's autofill password function, a move the company is making to transition from passwords to passkeys. Last month, Microsoft stopped letting you save new passwords in the app. Next month is the biggest change, all your saved passwords will no longer be in the Authenticator app. You'll have to use passkeys instead -- such as a PIN, fingerprint or facial recognition.

It took a minute, but Apple has at last activated its official Threads account. And thanks to its massive Instagram presence, it instantly picked up nearly 5 million followers. Today’s move comes well after several Apple-related accounts joined Instagram’s alternative to X right out of the gate. Apple Music, Apple News, Apple Books, Shazam, and Beats by Dre were among the first to show up shortly after Threads launched in mid-2023, but the main @apple account remained absent until now.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Didn’t Always End That Way

Jurassic World Rebirth is now in theaters, and if you’ve seen it, you probably felt a little manipulated by the end. Not in a bad way necessarily, but in a way that felt somehow satisfying and also disappointing. You guessed what was going to happen but also kind of hoped it didn’t. Well, it turns out there’s a very, very good reason and story behind that. So, we asked the film’s director, Gareth Edwards, about it.

Jabra Enhance Select 50R Review: Palatable Price

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-08-17 20:00:00

Despite the rise of competition in the over-the-counter hearing aid space, quality hearing aids remain stubbornly expensive. Top producers aren’t budging their premium prices, but they've quietly been introducing cheaper alternatives for consumers on a budget. Case in point is Jabra's Enhance Select 50R, the company’s entry-level model. At first glance, the behind-the-ear 50R looks almost identical to Jabra’s other hearing aids, like the Enhance Select 300, but a closer examination reveals a fe

A proof-of-concept neural brain implant providing speech

Stephen Hawking, a British physicist and arguably the most famous man suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), communicated with the world using a sensor installed in his glasses. That sensor used tiny movements of a single muscle in his cheek to select characters on a screen. Once he typed a full sentence at a rate of roughly one word per minute, the text was synthesized into speech by a DECtalk TC01 synthesizer, which gave him his iconic, robotic voice.

How the Quick Turnaround of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Became a Good Thing

Writing, development, pre-production, casting, filming, editing, visual effects, scoring, sound, and more. The process of making a movie, especially a big, expensive movie, is a long one. According to director Gareth Edwards, who has made his share of big movies like Rogue One and Godzilla, normally it would take two and a half years from when he, the director, would be hired until the film is released in theaters.

Swearing as a Response to Pain: Assessing Effects of Novel Swear Words

Dubbed the “Freedom Cities” movement, backers say they’d like to create new special development zones in the U.S. that would allow such cities to be built.
