TikTok’s new guidelines add subtle changes for LIVE creators, AI content, and more

TikTok is preparing an update to its Community Guidelines, which dictate the rules for participating on the social video platform as well as what standards the company uses to determine the videos that make it onto its For You feed. While the update largely rewrites the original text for simplicity’s sake, there are a few items that jump out in the new revision — notably how TikTok prioritizes its marketplace, how deeply it personalizes the experience per user, and a small change to the type of

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-21 02:25:52

Archaeologists in Brunswick County, North Carolina, have discovered four shipwrecks in just two months. One could be La Fortuna, a Spanish ship destroyed in September 1748, during King George’s War. The researchers found the wrecks and a number of colonial waterfront features in May and June at the Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site (BTFA), the former location of a pre-Revolutionary port and later a Civil War Confederate fort.

Dead EV Batteries Are Hoarding a Shocking Amount of Useful Lithium

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-21 02:40:53

The lithium batteries we deem unfit for use in electric vehicles might still contain copious amounts of usable, pure lithium we could retrieve and reuse—a potentially consistent, bountiful supply we’re just not trying hard enough to tap into, a new study suggests. In a study published August 14 in the Journal of Environmental Management, researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Australia argue that tapping into the leftover lithium in used batteries could fuel a pragmatic, sustainable alt

Google has started rolling out customizable calling cards for the beta versions of its Android Contacts and Phone apps. Android Authority found clues that the company was working on the feature back in July when it did an APK teardown. Now, you can give it a try if you decide to install the beta versions of the apps.

Porsche’s best daily driver 911? The 2025 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid review.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-21 17:00:44

Porsche 911 enthusiasts tend to be obsessive about their engines. Some won't touch anything that isn't air-cooled, convinced that everything went wrong when emissions and efficiency finally forced radiators into the car. Others love the "Mezger" engines; designed by engineer Hans Mezger, they trace their roots to the 1998 Le Mans-winning car, and no Porschephile can resist the added shine of a motorsports halo. I'm quite sure none of them will feel the same way about the powertrain in the new 9

Lelo Sona 3 Cruise Review: Stale Update

wired.com Amanda Chatel 2025-11-21 14:00:00

One of my biggest gripes about the sex toy industry—and the tech industry for that matter—is that there's a lot of iteration. New versions of already great products arrive every few years, with very minor changes, and you're left wondering what the latest brings to the table outside of a higher price. Many sex toy brands are guilty of this, from Womanizer and We-Vibe to Dame. Lelo's new Sona 3 Cruise falls into this camp as well, even if its predecessor arrived five years ago. This vibrator doe

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Review: Great, Not a Must-Have

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-11-21 17:30:00

Each attachment is embedded with RFID chips that auto-adjust heat and airflow based on your last-used settings. Not a revolutionary change, but it is nice not to have to toggle settings every time I switch attachments. You can also pair it with Dyson's app, which offers tutorials based on your hair type and goals. Dyson also moved the fan and heat controls to the base of the handle. It’s a cleaner look, but it can get finicky if you’re used to adjusting settings mid-styling. If you’ve already p

Linux Address Space Isolation Revived After Lowering 70% Performance Hit to 13%

Several years ago Google engineers began exploring address space isolation for the Linux kernel and ultimately proposing Linux ASI for better dealing with CPU speculative execution attacks . While the hope was it would better cope with the ever growing list of CPU speculative execution vulnerabilities, the effort was thwarted initially by I/O throughput seeing a 70% performance hit . That level of performance cost was unsustainable. But now that I/O overhead has been reduced to just 13%.Google e

Elon Musk's DOGE Was Far More of a Dismal Failure Than We Thought

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency originally promised to save the government $2 trillion in waste. That target quickly dropped to $1 trillion. Then in April, Musk started intimating that the savings would only be in the region of $150 billion, making it clear to all but his most diehard supporters that DOGE was failing on its own terms — even going by its own dubious estimates of its progress.
