Deutsche Bank Issues Grim Warning for AI Industry

Economists keep warning that the US economy is being propped up almost entirely by an enormous boom in the tech and AI sector. Should the rest of us be worried? Multibillion-dollar investments have become the norm as AI companies continue to double down on enormous infrastructure buildouts and talent acquisitions that they insist will undergird a new economy in which huge amounts of human labor are automated away. In a new research note, as Fortune reports, the international finance giant Deut

UK arrests man in airport ransomware attack that caused delays across Europe

The UK’s National Crime Agency arrested a man in West Sussex in connection with a ransomware attack that caused significant flight delays last week and forced many airlines to check passengers and luggage manually. The cyberattack impacted several airports across Europe, including London’s Heathrow and Berlin’s Brandenburg. The agency shared little about the arrest in its announcement today other than that the target was “a man in his forties” and that he was released on conditional bail as the

How to customize your iPhone Home Screen for iOS 26’s Liquid Glass

The launch of Apple’s latest operating system, iOS 26, introduced a new design language called Liquid Glass. The interface makeover, one of Apple’s largest since the shift from skeumorphic to flat design in 2013, adds a translucent, glass-like material to Apple’s software. This is used across iOS elements, like buttons, sliders, media controls, switches, notifications, tab bars, app sidebars, and in system experiences like the Control Center, Home Screen, Lock Screen, and more. The design itsel

Replace PostgreSQL with Git for your next project

Why you should replace PostgreSQL with Git for your next project Every developer knows the pain of choosing the right database for their project. PostgreSQL offers robust relational features, but what if there was a database you’re already using every day that could handle your data storage needs? Meet Git – the version control system that’s been hiding its database capabilities in plain sight. Before you close this tab thinking we’ve lost our minds, consider this: Git provides built-in versio

The NCA stated that the arrest was made following an investigation into the cyberattack that impacted Collins Aerospace's Multi-User System Environment (MUSE) passenger processing software.

Obscura, an obscure new ransomware variant

Authors: Harlan Carvey, Lindsey O’Donnell-Welch, Anna Pham, Alden Schmidt On 29 August 2025, Huntress analysts encountered a previously unseen ransomware variant called “Obscura.” This name was taken from the ransom note (README_Obscura.txt), which also made several references to Obscura in its contents. While researching this ransomware variant, analysts did not find any public references to a ransomware variant named Obscura. The ransomware executable was first seen being executed across mu

UK arrests man linked to ransomware attack that caused airport disruptions across Europe

The hack, which began Friday, targeted check-in systems provided by Collins Aerospace, causing delays at Brussels, Berlin, and Dublin airports, as well as London’s Heathrow, which lasted until yesterday.

Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Tuesday. “Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the Company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies tha

The devices, priced at 649

Former Facebook Exec Warns AI Industry Is Entirely Built on “Vibes”

The deluge of speculative tech investments unleashed by artificial intelligence is unparalleled in history. Never before has a technology which promises so much — but currently does so little — managed to capture enough funding to threaten the US economy should it fail. With that kind of cash on the line, one would assume that tech startups have done their homework on the complicated reality of AI development before courting untold millions of dollars from overzealous investors — that’s sort of

This new Android phone can act like a walkie-talkie in a pinch

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Hundreds of new smartphones are released each year, making it difficult for any single device to truly stand out. For me, the best Android phones are the ones that not only lack any noticeable flaws but also have a unique hook that makes them special, whether it’s a clever AI feature or new hardware used in an interesting way. Xiaomi’s T series has generally ticked the right boxes for what makes a good smartphone, but it’s always lacked that one extra feature

I never knew I wanted a small Android tablet until I tried this iPad Mini alternative

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Android phones are wonderful gadgets that can do pretty much anything, but their screens are too small for some tasks. That’s why tablets make for great secondary devices, but choosing the right one can be a challenge. For years, I’ve been on the “bigger is better” train, using Android tablets with 11-inch or larger screens. But after recently trying a smaller, iPad Mini-sized Android tablet, I’ve started to question why I ever liked the larger models in the f

‘Marvel Zombies’ Has Plenty of Blood, but No Heart

After a relatively quiet 2024 with a small handful of projects, 2025 has seen Marvel release nearly 10 shows and films. Its penultimate project for the year is Marvel Zombies, based on the recurring comics metaseries first created by Robert Kirkman, Greg Land, Sean Phillips, and Mark Millar in 2005. Spinning out of the zombie-focused episode of Marvel’s What If…?, the series is set in an alternate version of the MCU where the world’s gone to hell after being ravaged by the undead. Most of the o

YouTube Gives the Right Wing What it Wants, Says Biden Admin ‘Pressed’ it to Remove Content

Google, like Meta before it, has made what appears to be a strategic decision to bend the knee to the Trump administration and Republican leadership. In a letter addressed to the US House Judiciary Committee and released by Chairman Jim Jordan, the company claimed that the Biden administration attempted to pressure it to remove content that didn’t explicitly violate its content policies. To rectify the situation, the company committed to allowing users who had their YouTube accounts terminated o

The Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro Have One Feature That Samsung Phones Don't

Xiaomi's 15 Ultra impressed me earlier in the year with its stellar camera setup that provides superb quality for pro shooters. But the company's not done for the year just yet; the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro pack Leica-branded camera systems and a host of high-end tech into a metal body. I've been hands-on, and there's a lot to like. Both the processor and the cameras put in solid performances during my hands-on time with them. Plus, I was intrigued to hear about a unique new feature found only on

Trump is pushing leucovorin as a new treatment for autism. What is it?

That meant that more people met the criteria for an autism diagnosis. Lerner points out that there is also far more awareness of the condition today than there was several decades ago. “There’s autism representation in the media,” he says. “There are plenty of famous people in the news and finance and in business and in Hollywood who are publicly, openly autistic.” Is Tylenol a contributor to autism? Some studies have found an association between the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy and autis

GitHub notifications abused to impersonate Y Combinator for crypto theft

A massive phishing campaign targeted GitHub users with cryptocurrency drainers, delivered via fake invitations to the Y Combinator (YC) W2026 program. Y Combinator is a startup accelerator that funds and mentors projects in their early stages, and connects founders with a network of alumni and venture capital firms. The attacker abused GitHub’s notification system to deliver the fraudulent messages, by creating issues across multiple repositories and tagging targeted users. When mentioning an

Tired of 5G? Qualcomm Says 6G Will Be Here Before the End of the World

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told the assembled crowd at its Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii (full disclosure: travel and lodging were paid by Qualcomm, and Gizmodo did not guarantee any coverage as a condition of accepting the trip), that the world can set its watch and clear its calendar for the next generation of wireless connectivity. You’ll just have to wait a while. Currently, 5G and 4G LTE are the standard the world over. 6G could allow for faster internet speeds, and the first “pre-comm

Trump's H-1B visa changes could 'kneecap startups,' drive talent elsewhere, experts say

President Donald Trump takes a question from a reporter before signing executive orders in the Oval Office at the White House on September 19, 2025 in Washington, DC. Andrew Harnik | Getty Images It's been a chaotic few days for the tech sector, and industry executives and experts are still assessing how U.S. President Donald Trump's latest immigration crackdown could shape the future of their workforces.

5 things the new Google Home Speaker needs before I’ll buy it

Adam Molina / Android Authority It’s been a while since Google released a new smart speaker, but that’s set to change in the very near future. Just about five years after the Nest Audio launched in October 2020, word on the street is that Google will soon debut the “Google Home Speaker.” Google first teased its new speaker in August during the Pixel 10 launch event, while subsequent leaks have confirmed its existence and indicated that it’s almost certainly being released before the end of the

I turned Gemini into a smarter Daily Hub alternative, and you can too

Joe Maring / Android Authority Of all the features that the Google Pixel 10 series brought, Daily Hub was the one that intrigued me the most. I love the idea of my phone greeting me with immediately relevant information before I start my day. And, as it’s made by Google, I could expect all the relevant content from my many Google apps and services to be included, right? Not quite. The early version of Daily Hub was as useful as a wet piece of toast. As a result, the company quickly yanked it to

Feds Tie ‘Scattered Spider’ Duo to $115M in Ransoms

U.S. prosecutors last week levied criminal hacking charges against 19-year-old U.K. national Thalha Jubair for allegedly being a core member of Scattered Spider, a prolific cybercrime group blamed for extorting at least $115 million in ransom payments from victims. The charges came as Jubair and an alleged co-conspirator appeared in a London court to face accusations of hacking into and extorting several large U.K. retailers, the London transit system, and healthcare providers in the United Stat
