iPhone 17 Pro: A closer look at the new ‘camera bar’ design

While a lot of the focus is on the all-new iPhone 17 Air, Apple is also planning some design changes to the iPhone 17 Pro coming later this year. New images posted to social media today provide us with what could be our best look yet at the redesigned camera bump on the iPhone 17 Pro… These iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit images were posted to social media by Majin Bu. They show the iPhone 17 Pro in black, with a particular emphasis on the new camera bar design. You can clearly see how Apple has shift

Creative Commons debuts CC signals, a framework for an open AI ecosystem

Nonprofit Creative Commons, which spearheaded the licensing movement that allows creators to share their works while retaining copyright, is now preparing for the AI era. On Wednesday, the organization announced the launch of a new project, CC signals, which will allow dataset holders to detail how their content can or cannot be reused by machines, as in the case of training AI models. The idea is meant to create a balance between the open nature of the internet and the demand for ever more dat

Unihertz Titan 2 brings modern power to classic BlackBerry-style design

Much QWERTY, very Android: Despite being discontinued five years ago, the BlackBerry design is still popular. Many people want a modern phone with a physical keyboard – there's just something appealing about a tactile interface that a touchscreen can't match. Unihertz just launched a crowdfunding campaign to revive the classic design. Unihertz released its first Titan smartphone in 2019, then followed up with the updated Titan Slim a few years later. Now, the BlackBerry-like series is getting a

Philips Hue says US prices will go up in July because of tariffs

When Philips Hue’s US prices go up next month, you can officially know who to blame. (Hint: It rhymes with "rump.") Parent company Signify told Hueblog (via The Verge) that its price increases are "a direct result of tariffs." See how easy that was, Amazon? Before that confirmation, the company vaguely referred to an upcoming price increase. "Hurry, prices go up on July 1," marketing copy from earlier this month stated. Signify’s statement to Hueblog doesn’t mince words about Trump’s trade war

Philips Hue is raising prices in the US ‘as a direct result of tariffs’

You’ll soon have to pay more for various Philips Hue smart lighting and security gadgets if you live in the US. After vaguely notifying customers that prices will “go up” on July 1st in a promotional message, Philips Hue’s parent company Signify has confirmed that it’s inflating prices across the Philips Hue portfolio “as a direct result of tariffs.” “We remain committed to providing consumers with high-quality products and features that make smart lighting extraordinary,“ Signify said in a sta

Breaking WebAuthn, FIDO2, and Forging Passkeys

Okay, but why does this even work? Forging Passkeys: Exploring the FIDO2 / WebAuthn Attack Surface Fri Jun 20 2025 authored by vmfunc Introduction Passwords are dying—slowly, awkwardly, and not without a fight. Large parts of the internet are already nudging users toward "passkeys", the marketing-friendly name for FIDO2 credentials that live on your phone, security key, or TPM. In theory passkeys solve phishing and credential-stuffing in one swoop. In practice... they might introduce a shin

UK may require Google to give users alternative search options and rank its results ‘more fairly’

The U.K.’s competition regulator said on Tuesday it is considering a new market designation for Google that would require the search giant to provide alternative search options to users, rank search results “more fairly,” and offer greater control to publishers over how their content is used in search and AI Overviews. Under the new Digital Markets Competition Regime that went into force earlier this year, the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it is launching a consultation on

Here how the Nothing Phone 3’s new Glyph Matrix will work

Nothing TL;DR Nothing’s new Glyph Matrix is a compact, programmable system replacing the original Glyph Interface on the upcoming Phone 3. The micro-LED cluster enables new features like custom animations, symbols, and reactive lighting while maintaining app-based notifications. Nothing says the design change allowed it to reclaim internal space and enhance the Phone 3’s visual identity with a smaller, circular layout. Nothing has revealed how its new Glyph Matrix system will work on the Not

APT28 hackers use Signal chats to launch new malware attacks on Ukraine

The Russian state-sponsored threat group APT28 is using Signal chats to target government targets in Ukraine with two previously undocumented malware families named BeardShell and SlimAgent. To be clear, this is not a security issue in Signal. Instead, threat actors are more commonly utilizing the messaging platform as part of their phishing attacks due to its increased usage by governments worldwide. The attacks were first discovered by Ukraine's Computer and Emergency Response (CERT-UA) in M

The FPGA turns 40

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most exciting and interesting aspects of electronic engineering: the FPGA. The first commercially viable FPGA introduced in 1985 was the Xilinx XC2064, which provided developers with 64 configurable logic blocks, each with a three-input look-up tables. From tiny acorns mighty OAK trees grow. Forty years later, the largest AMD (the successor to Xilinx) FPGA contains 8.9 million system logic cells, providing 8.2 million flip flops and 4 million l

MagSafe Monday: PITAKA delivers a new MagSafe battery pack with Qi2 and a stylish design

I’ve tested more MagSafe battery packs than I can count over the past few years. Some are too bulky, while others have weak magnets. Some of the designs are also somewhat dull.

New iPhone roadmap reveals timing of three big design changes

We’re just a few months away from Apple’s launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. But an analyst with expertise in displays just shared a roadmap for three design changes coming with future iPhones, starting next year. The road to an all-screen iPhone may be longer than expected Apple has a lot of big changes coming to the iPhone in the next few years. But new expectations published by supply chain analyst Ross Young indicate some of the updates may not arrive on the timeline we’d previously expected

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop. The Dell 16 Plus 2-in

Nothing Headphone 1 leaks show quirky translucent design

While Nothing is gearing up to officially unveil its first over-ear headphones next week, leaked images and videos have given us a good idea of what they look like. The Nothing Headphone 1 sports an unusual design that appears consistently across leaks from multiple sources, featuring a squircle earcup with the company’s signature transparent elements and support for what looks like a 3.5mm audio cable. Nothing announced in a video last month that it would be launching over-ear headphones in “s

Intel to outsource marketing to Accenture and AI, cutting in-house staff

What just happened? Intel is preparing for a major transformation of its marketing operations, marking a significant shift in how the company approaches customer engagement and internal organization. Under the direction of newly appointed CEO Lip-Bu Tan, the technology giant will outsource a substantial portion of its marketing work to Accenture, a global consulting firm, with artificial intelligence playing a central role in the transition. This move is expected to result in significant layoff

OpenAI can rehabilitate AI models that develop a “bad-boy persona”

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself. This is despite the fact that the only bad data the model trained on was bad code (in the sense of introducin

What happens when AI comes for our fonts?

Monotype is keen for you to know what AI might do in typography. As one of the largest type design companies in the world, Monotype owns Helvetica, Futura, and Gill Sans — among 250,000 other fonts. In the typography giant’s 2025 Re:Vision trends report, published in February, Monotype devotes an entire chapter to how AI will result in a reactive typography that will “leverage emotional and psychological data” to tailor itself to the reader. It might bring text into focus when you look at it and

Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs could be insider threats

Highlights We stress-tested 16 leading models from multiple developers in hypothetical corporate environments to identify potentially risky agentic behaviors before they cause real harm. In the scenarios, we allowed models to autonomously send emails and access sensitive information. They were assigned only harmless business goals by their deploying companies; we then tested whether they would act against these companies either when facing replacement with an updated version, or when their assi

This 32-inch Insignia Fire TV is only $69.99! (Record-low price)

We know this is not the most exciting TV around, but it isn’t supposed to be. Instead, it is meant to be a good screen for the kitchen, dining room, or a smaller bedroom. There’s also a reason why it’s Amazon’s top-selling TV! It is super cheap, especially right now that it’s on sale for a mere $69.99. Buy the Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV for just $69.99 ($60 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but since Insignia is a Best Buy brand, it is shipped and sold by Best Buy. We’r

Rose-Gold-Tinted Liquid Glasses

This could’ve easily been 12 blog posts, but I opted for one that comprehensively captures how I feel about design on Apple platforms right now. The Pendulum Swing There was immediate criticism of iOS 7’s visual design. Concerns mounted pretty quickly about both style and accessibility. Some people remarked, “It’s only the beta,” implying significant change during the beta release phase was not just possible but probable. Yet, after it was released to the public largely the same as it was intr

You sound like ChatGPT

Join any Zoom call, walk into any lecture hall, or watch any YouTube video, and listen carefully. Past the content and inside the linguistic patterns, you’ll find the creeping uniformity of AI voice. Words like “prowess” and “tapestry,” which are favored by ChatGPT, are creeping into our vocabulary, while words like “bolster,” “unearth,” and “nuance,” words less favored by ChatGPT, have declined in use. Researchers are already documenting shifts in the way we speak and communicate as a result of

Nothing Headphone 1 images leak, showing a retro-futuristic cassette-inspired look

TL;DR Renders and real-world images of the apparent Nothing Headphone 1 have appeared online. The pictures show a pair of headphones with a transparent design and a curious shape. Nothing is gearing up to launch its first pair of over-ear headphones on July 1, called the Nothing Headphone 1. The company has kept this design firmly under wraps, but it looks like two sources have given us our first look. The Equal Leaks Telegram account posted three apparent Nothing Headphone 1 renders today. T

Apple wins Grand Prix at Cannes for ‘Shot on iPhone’ campaign

Apple’s famous “Shot on iPhone” ad series has just earned one of the advertising industry’s highest honors: the Grand Prix in the Creative Effectiveness Lions category at this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Not bad for a campaign that started a decade ago. The Creative Effectiveness Lions specifically reward campaigns that prove long-term business impact through creativity. This year marked the fourth consecutive year of growth in submissions for the category, up 6.5%

How teachers are fighting AI cheating with handwritten work, oral tests, and AI

A hot potato: The fear that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT would lead to a generation of students cheating and plagiarizing work has come to pass. The situation is so bad that educators are now looking at multipe ways to stop the problem, or at least make the practice much more difficult. Ironically, one of them is to use AI. Speaking about AI-cheat students, Gary Ward, a teacher at Brookes Westshore High School in Victoria, British Columbia, told Business Insider, "Some of the ones that I
