Best Internet Providers in Durham, North Carolina

What is the best internet provider in Durham? Our broadband experts here at CNET recommend AT&T Fiber as the top internet provider in Durham, North Carolina. Thanks to its high-speed service, high customer satisfaction and variety when it comes to plans, it's difficult not to recommend choosing AT&T Fiber to any newcomer or long-time resident of Durham. For other fiber alternatives, consider Google Fiber. It offers even faster speeds than AT&T Fiber, reaching up to 8,000Mbps. That said, its pri

Blockchain-driven platform to mimic stock trading, allowing users to buy shares of SpaceX, other hot private companies

Republic, a New York-based investment startup, is offering users exposure to SpaceX by issuing a "tokenized" representation of its shares. The company will begin selling the digital tokens this week and eventually plans to expand the offering to other private companies like artificial intelligence darlings OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as Stripe, X, Waymo, Epic Games and more.

The battle-tested tips CEOs swear by when change hits from every direction

StudioGraphic / Getty Images As I interview some of the brightest minds in technology, business and leadership for my weekly podcast DisrupTV, one thing became crystal clear: we're not just experiencing an AI revolution -- we're in the midst of multiple technological revolutions converging simultaneously. This combinatorial effect makes this even more game changing than the internet, because the internet was just one revolution. Also: 4 ways to turn AI into your business advantage As such, th

Is Lovable getting monetization wrong?

“I remember we were building a micro-app like that and it took at least a month, now it takes 3 minutes.” I messaged a colleague after trying out Lovable and sharing what I (it?) made. “It’s truly shocking” he responded. Using Lovable for the first time was like taking my first Waymo ride. At first, it was mind-blowing (I had no idea this was possible!) and then unremarkable (yep, that v1 works like a v1, as if I handed it to an engineer). Vibe-coding is one of the trending topics in tech. In

Philips Hue confirms upcoming US price hikes are due to Trump tariffs

A hot potato: A lot of companies try to avoid blaming Trump's tariffs for any price increases, but not Philips Hue. It has notified customers of a price hike starting on July that is a direct result of the new import duties, and the products might become even more expensive in the future. Parent company Signify told hueblog.com that its Philips Hue portfolio in the US will experience price hikes on July 1 as a "direct result of the tariffs." This might not be the only increase. The company add

Second study finds Uber used opaque algorithm to dramatically boost profits

A second major academic institution has accused Uber of using opaque computer code to dramatically increase its profits at the expense of the ride-hailing app’s drivers and passengers. Research by academics at New York’s Columbia Business School concluded that the Silicon Valley company had implemented “algorithmic price discrimination” that had raised “rider fares and cut driver pay on billions of … trips, systematically, selectively, and opaquely”. The Ivy League business school research – w

Exclusive: Google Pixel 10’s display could hurt your eyes less — but only if you go Pro

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL displays could be better for people who are sensitive to PWM dimming. Google is considering an upgrade to 480Hz dimming for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL. The regular model, as well as the Fold, may stick to 240Hz. The displays are also planned to be brighter by about 200 nits across the board. Since the launch of the Pixel 9 series, Google has been revising its Pixel strategy. Instead of the Pro Pixels being larger, slightly

If we’re to believe the rumors, Google’s less than two months away from announcing its Pixel 10 smartphone lineup. We’ve already pieced together a ton of details about what

2025 iPad Pro production underway, but pricing expected to deter many

2025 iPad Pro production is reportedly already underway, as both Samsung and LG began making the displays earlier this month.

There are zero grams of sugar. Like a lot of other clear protein powders, it’s often more expensive than its counterparts. B

Updating to Android 16 gives you 2 useful security features - but you need to enable them

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Google released Android 16 a bit earlier than expected, and although it was missing some crucial features, there are key additions to the platform that go a long way to improve security. This was an important step forward, as the need for improved security grows every year. Without companies like Google, Apple, and others upping the ante on security, the mobile space would wind up the wild west of the technological landscape, with ne'er-do-wells poppi

Managing time when time doesn't exist

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever. You’d be attempting to justify tardiness using cutting-edge physics to someone whose greatest temporal insight is schedulin

The economics behind "Basic Economy" – A masterclass in price discrimination

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice. By design, Basic Economy compels travelers to self-select based on their willingness to pay and tolerate restrictions, thus allowing airlines to maximize revenue from different
