Former Cloudflare executive John Graham-Cumming recently announced that he launched a website, lowbackgroundsteel.ai, that treats pre-AI, human-created content like a precious commodityâa time capsule of organic creative expression from a time before machines joined the conversation. "The idea is to point to sources of text, images and video that were created prior to the explosion of AI-generated content," Graham-Cumming wrote on his blog last week. The reason? To preserve what made non-AI medi

He had a buzz cut and brown eyes, a stubbly beard and a wrestlerâs build. He did not have a wallet or phone; he could not state his name. He arrived at Los Angeles General Medical Center one cloudy day this winter just as thousands of people do every year: alone and unknown. Some 130,000 people are brought each year to L.A.

Even with the ability to take excellent photos with our phones and instantly share them across the world, thereâs something magical about the old-school instant camera. With just a click of a button, you can capture a moment in a photo that you can see and touch almost immediately. Images captured by an instant camera arenât as pristine or perfect as those produced by modern digital cameras, but their soft images and imperfections are often a big part of the allure. Yet not all instant cameras
Cybersecurity practitioners are voicing concerns over a recent executive order issued by the White House that guts requirements for: securing software the government uses, punishing people who compromise sensitive networks, preparing new encryption schemes that will withstand attacks from quantum computers, and other existing controls. The executive order (EO), issued on June 6, reverses several key cybersecurity orders put in place by President Joe Biden, some as recently as a few days before
Microsoft announced a strategic, multi-year agreement with AMD to co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices, including the next-generation Xbox consoles.

This happens during big sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday, but right now, you can also take advantage of
CarPlayâs evolution has in several ways been a disappointment since the ânext generationâ of CarPlay was first previewed in 2022. But all of a sudden, in the span of a mere month, CarPlayâs future looks brighter than it has in yearsâin part because of a redefinition of what that future will be. The next generation of CarPlay is no longer just CarPlay Ultra CarPlayâs previously announced ânext generationâ seemed like it would never arrive. But now, itâs finally hereâwith a twist. And arguably,

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern artâs most original and influential figures, but Barrâs chart made plain the many artists he drew fromâGoya, El Greco, CĂ©zanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

When Fujifilm announced the Fujifilm X half, the internet was literally divided into two halves. Some people were disappointed that it offered limited features for its high price, while others were delighted and found it intriguing. In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly. As someone who used Fujifilm cameras for a decade, starting with a X-T1 and then moving on to the X100F, X-H1, X-T30, and X100V, and finally switching to a Leica M11, I have some thoughts about the
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Home 3.33 app update claims to improve camera timeline scrubbing on Android with better framerate and loading. A limited-access member tier is now generally available, allowing more control over shared home permissions. Early user feedback is mixed, with some praising the upgrade and others saying scrubbing performance is still lacking. Google has rolled out a new update to its Google Home app that targets one of the most persistent complai
Alaska got its first-ever heat advisory over the weekend, which is in effect until June 17. Over the last few days, temperatures in central Alaska have reached 86 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 30 Celsius). It's not as if Alaska never gets hot in the summer. However, as Jason Laney, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, Alaska, told CNET, "The frequency with which the heat is coming up is starting to be a bit of a concern." This heat advisory seems pr
I'm in the midst of putting together a buying guide of indoor vertical gardening systems, and the Gardynâthe 30-plant Home 4.0, to be exactâwas the first tester to arrive at my house. I had it unboxed and set up within a couple of hours, lights on and water pump running. I'm already a pro! I thought. Sure enough, within a couple of weeks, all of Gardyn's proprietary seed-filled yCubes had sprouted, and a couple of weeks after that, I was harvesting bowlfuls of herbs and salad greens. Even thoug
Should we design for iffy internet? Brian Hicks, June 16, 2025 I keep hearing claims like this: Not everyone in the US has access to stable, reliable internet, even in 2025. Web developers should stop assuming people have fast internet connections and slim their payloads accordingly. This seems intuitively true to meâprogrammers are gonna have better connectivity because that takes money, and programmers are well-paid. But what's the actual scope of the problem? I dug around, and here's so

The truth is, you're probably not imagining things, and the culprit could be hanging right there on your wall. As it turns out, where your thermostat is located can make a world of difference to both your comfort and your energy bills. Also: How to disable ACR on yo

The axolotl seems like something out of science fiction. This perpetually youthful-looking Mexican salamander possesses a superpower that defies biology as we know it: the ability to regenerate entire limbs, parts of its heart, and even its spinal cord. But how does an amputated limb know whether to regenerate an entire arm from the shoulder down or just a hand from the wrist? This mystery of âpositional identityâ has fascinated scientists for decades. A team at Northeastern University, led by
