Best Back-to-School Tech Gear and Gadgets in 2025

Earfun has made some very solid budget earbuds, and now it's entered the full-size ANC headphone space with its new-for-2024 Wave Pro headphones. They list for $80, but they're down to $64 on Amazon right now if you apply the on-page coupon. While they may not sound as good as premium noise-canceling headphones from Bose or Sony, they're comfortable to wear, feature decent sound with punchy bass (they're a bit lacking in clarity and bass definition compared to more expensive models), and they of

Delta Announces New System Where AI Makes Up the Price for Your Ticket on the Spot

In the latest sign frivolous and irritating use of AI, US airline Delta is looking to harness the tech to set prices for each individual customer, instead of just listing what they actually cost. As Fortune reports, the airline is looking to push the boundaries of how much passengers are willing to shell out for a plane ticket. By the end of this year, Delta hopes to price 20 percent of its tickets individually, using AI. The practice has already drawn plenty of scrutiny from lawmakers and pri

Google Pixel 10 series rumors: Everything we know so far

The Google Pixel 9 series features a slightly revamped design, three different Pro models, a stronger emphasis on AI, and plenty of other changes. It also represents one of the biggest deviations from the Pixel formula that we’ve seen in years. Despite several notable changes, the Pixel 9 still retains several of the most criticized aspects of the Pixel series, including limited storage options and a less competitive SoC compared to other phones. With all of this in mind, what can we expect fro

An Innovative New Security Camera Has a Solar Panel That Follows the Sun

I've tested solar panels for home security cameras before. Almost every brand has one nowadays, and they're an easy way to use wireless cams and keep their batteries full. But mounting those little solar panels in the right spot can be a pain, which is why I'm fascinated by Baseus S2's solution: A built-in solar panel that moves. This camera, currently available for preorder at $130, includes a solar panel on top similar to Eufy's model but with one big difference. This panel is designed to rot

Phishers have found a way to downgrade—not bypass—FIDO MFA

Researchers recently reported encountering a phishing attack in the wild that bypasses a multifactor authentication scheme based on FIDO (Fast Identity Online), the industry-wide standard being adopted by thousands of sites and enterprises. If true, the attack, reported in a blog post Thursday by security firm Expel, would be huge news, since FIDO is widely regarded as being immune to credential phishing attacks. After analyzing the Expel write-up, I’m confident that the attack doesn’t bypass F

WhatsApp streamlines in-app support process

If you’ve ever tried to get in-app support on WhatsApp, you know the process used to start with filling out a form, possibly attaching a few files, and waiting for a support rep to eventually get in touch. Now, that form is on its way out, and the screening process is, you guessed it, becoming AI-based. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Out with the form, in with AI Unless you’re Stephen Hackett, support knowledge bases are never fun to navigate, especially if you are in a hurry and alr

Exhausted man defeats AI model in world coding championship

A Polish programmer running on fumes recently accomplished what may soon become impossible: beating an advanced AI model from OpenAI in a head-to-head coding competition. The 10-hour marathon left him "completely exhausted." On Wednesday, programmer Przemysław Dębiak (known as "Psyho"), a former OpenAI employee, narrowly defeated the custom AI model in the AtCoder World Tour Finals 2025 Heuristic contest in Tokyo. AtCoder, a Japanese platform that hosts competitive programming contests and main

‘Crystal Lake’ Casts a Familiar Horror Face as Little Jason Voorhees

Horror fans are excitedly awaiting Peacock’s Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake—and now we know who’ll be playing the younger version of Jason Voorhees. Long before he decided a hockey mask and machete were an ideal killing-spree combo, and even before he drowned at summer camp, he was just a little kid with an eccentric mother. Presumably. We don’t know too many details about the show yet, but we know Linda Cardellini is playing Pamela Voorhees—and now we know Callum Vinson is Jason.

It’s Official: Apple Needs to Drop a New Version of AirPods ASAP

Remember AirPods? You probably do, because they’re literally everywhere, all the time, but if you don’t, it’s because Apple has seemingly neglected its hyper-popular wireless earbuds for a while now—or it’s at least failed to give us a model that actually counts as an upgrade. While AirPods 4 were released in 2024, the only notable upgrades back then were USB-C charging (hardly groundbreaking) and a new H2 chip that most people will probably overlook. That means the last real upgrade was actuall

We Finally Know How Much Martin Shkreli’s Wu-Tang Album Cost

The saga of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that Martin “pharma bro” Shkreli bought for approximately $2 million in 2015, continues. The album’s contents have always been a highly guarded secret, and it was seized by the U.S. government in 2018 after Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud. For years, it was reported that the government had sold the album directly to PleaserDAO, a crypto collective that specializes in NFTs. However, Bloomberg now reports that

New ChatGPT o3-alpha model hints at coding upgrade

ChatGPT's o3 is OpenAI's best model to date because it features reasoning, and it might get even better in the next update. As spotted on X, OpenAI is testing a new "Alpha" variant of the o3 model, which has significant coding-related improvements. In our tests, BleepingComputer observed that o3-alpha is better than o3 in designing web pages, even with simple prompts. Others have spotted that o3-alpha is really good at creating simple web games. o3-alpha This model is called "o3-alpha-respon

The Israeli "art student" mystery (2002)

In January 2001, the security branch of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency began to receive a number of peculiar reports from DEA field offices across the country. According to the reports, young Israelis claiming to be art students and offering artwork for sale had been attempting to penetrate DEA offices for over a year. The Israelis had also attempted to penetrate the offices of other law enforcement and Department of Defense agencies. Strangest of all, the “students” had visited the homes of n

What is Mistral AI? Everything to know about the OpenAI competitor

Mistral AI, the French company behind AI assistant Le Chat and several foundational models, is officially regarded as one of France’s most promising tech startups and is arguably the only European company that could compete with OpenAI. But compared to its $6 billion valuation, its global market share is still relatively low. However, the recent launch of its chat assistant on mobile app stores was met with some hype, particularly in its home country. “Go and download Le Chat, which is made by

Pixel Watch 4 might bulk up its fitness features to help you get ripped

TL;DR A new leak suggests the Pixel Watch 4 will add a dedicated strength training experience. Users may get custom interval workouts, real-time guidance, and advanced post-workout metrics. The report also mentions improved run tracking, swim and cycling features, and dual-band GPS. If you’re the kind of person who hits the gym more than the track, the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 4 may finally have something tailored specifically to your needs. According to a new report from Android Headline

Russian alcohol retailer WineLab closes stores after ransomware attack

WineLab, the retail store of the largest alcohol company in Russia, has closed its stores following a cyberattack that is impacting its operations and causing purchase problems to its customers. Its parent company, Novabev Group, informed earlier this week that hackers had breached its IT systems. “On July 14, the group was subjected to an unprecedented cyberattack—a large-scale and coordinated operation carried out by hackers,” the company said. “As a result of the incident, parts of the IT

How to Get Foreign Keys Horribly Wrong

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. Foreign keys are a special type of constraint because, unlike unique, check, and primary keys, they span more than one relation. This makes foreign keys harder to enforce and harder to get right. In this article, I demonstrate common pitfalls, potential optimizations, and implicit behavior related to foreign keys.

Whatever You Do, Don't Become Obsessed With This Conspiracy Thriller on Netflix

Sometimes, the best TV shows come from unexpected places. Obviously, there were the big ones like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. When Vince Gilligan's drug drama ended in 2013, with HBO's landmark fantasy hit in full swing, I wondered what series would be next to capture our collective attention. It took me a few years to find my next TV obsession, which aired on an unassuming basic cable channel. The show I'm referring to was about the internet, of all things. It was created by a guy with

Pixel Watch 4 pricing leak could mean good news for those fearing a hike

TL;DR A new Pixel Watch 4 leak has revealed that the pricing may remain unchanged from the Pixel Watch 3 in Europe. Unless there are any tariff impacts, this suggests US prices may also remain flat, starting at $349. With the upgrades to the specs of the Google wearable looking modest, it would be logical that there would be little to no price hike. It’s not too long now until we meet the Pixel Watch 4. While we’ve managed to get some insight into the specs and colors of the next Google weara

The best MagSafe accessories of 2025 for your new iPhone

Anker's MagGo 3-1 Wireless Charging Station for iPhone is still a wireless charging dream almost seven months after my initial purchase, and it's also ZDNET's pick for best wireless charger. This MagSafe charger features 15W charging, offers a stand component for my iPhone, charges all of my Apple devices at once, and folds up easily for quick transport and storage. It also comes with a wall adapter, which isn't always a guarantee. Also: I found a Qi2 charging station that can do it all (and Ap

We Almost Lived in a Timeline Where ‘Morbius’ Was Made by ‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster

Marvel’s perpetually delayed Blade movie, which took on new life as the costuming for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, may never see the light of day. But it’s worth remembering we did already get a vampire movie centered on a Marvel character: a certain Dr. Michael Morbius. Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster has now confirmed that at one point, he was asked to direct the Spider-Man spin-off movie, and the mind reels at what might have been. In a recent interview on Semafor’s Mixed Signals podc
