Got a suspicious UPS text? Don't reply - it might be a scam. Here's how to tell

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2026-02-17 15:13:00

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I've been anxiously expecting a package from UPS. That's why a text I received the other day caught my eye. Claiming to be from UPS, the message said that the carrier attempted to deliver the package on June 27, but the delivery couldn't be completed. The date was one when my wife and I were away, so this seemed legitimate at first glance. Also: Got a suspicious E-ZPass text? Don't click the link (and what to do if you already did) However, I've written plenty of

This portable speaker delivers amazingly smooth sound with little distortion - and it's $130 off

A neural brain implant provides near instantaneous speech

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-20 20:00:58

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.

When piecing together the cultural practices of ancient humans, traditional archaeologists rely on clues from artifacts such as tools, bones, and pottery. Experimental archaeologists, however, go a step further—recreating past behaviors to experience how people once lived. That’s precisely what a team of researchers recently did to investigate how Stone Age communities in northeastern Europe extracted animal teeth to produce accessories.

If you’ve ever been curious to see the impact of editing on a movie, the extended version of Jurassic World Dominion is a fascinating case. Clocking in 14 minutes longer than the original film, the extended version (which is streaming on Peacock) is somehow both better and worse than its predecessor at the exact same time. The new scenes add welcome scope and pathos to the film, taking a movie that was all over the place and giving it some welcome focus. However, those scenes are also poison to
