My A11y Journey

23 years ago I was in a bad place. I'd quit my first attempt at a PhD for various reasons that were, with hindsight, bad, and I was suddenly entirely aimless. I lucked into picking up a sysadmin role back at TCM where I'd spent a summer a year before, but that's not really what I wanted in my life. And then Hanna mentioned that her PhD supervisor was looking for someone familiar with Linux to work on making Dasher , one of the group's research projects, more usable on Linux. I jumped.The timing

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system. Even though we really recommend splurging on a GPU, that's just not the reality for most folks. An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping

Tesla’s first robotaxi rides will have a ‘safety monitor’ in the passenger seat

is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO. Tesla has begun sending out invitations for its highly anticipated robotaxi service, but there’s one significant caveat: it’s installing a “safety monitor” in the front passenger seat, as previously reported by Electrek. The invites, which were sent to Tesla influencers and investors, say the human monitor will “accompany you on your trip” when ride

Cloudflare CEO says people aren't checking AI chatbots' source links

Companies that develop generative AI always make it a point to say that they include links to websites in the answers that their chatbots generate for users. But Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince has revealed to Axios that search traffic referrals keep plummeting. Publishers are facing an existential threat, he said, because people aren't clicking through those chatbot links and are relying more and more on AI summaries without digging deeper. Prince told Axios that 10 years ago, Google sent a publ

Virtual cells

Virtual cells Digital twins of biological cells—often referred to as virtual cells or whole-cell models (WCMs)–aim to recreate every relevant molecular process of a living cell in silico. This interdisciplinary endeavor marries systems biology, computational modeling, high-performance computing, and, increasingly, AI. All models are wrong, but some are alive. Somewhere in a data center right now, a virtual bacterium is dividing for the millionth time. Somewhere else, an AI-enhanced model is l

Best Internet Providers in Richmond, Virginia

CNET recommends Verizon Fios as the best internet provider in Richmond, Virginia, thanks to its reliable fiber connection, solid speeds and competitive pricing. It’s one of the top fiber internet options nationwide, and it stands out in Richmond for offering consistent performance. Xfinity comes in second, with four plan options including the city’s fastest speeds with its 1,300Mbps tier. If Verizon Fios or Xfinity aren’t available at your address, you might have to opt for Verizon or T-Mobile'

Astro Bot’s director on making a PlayStation icon

Astro Bot is filled with whimsy and silliness that makes you want to pay attention to the details. But in a presentation at this year’s Game Developers Conference, director Nicolas Doucet shared one particular aspect of Astro the robot that I hadn’t noticed but blew me away. Doucet talked about how Team Asobi worked hard to give the game a good tempo with things like enemy placement and how you can interact with Astro’s spaceship with the DualSense’s gyro controls on loading screens. One thing

Is Google secretly testing new AI voices in NotebookLM?

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR NotebookLM users are hearing a mysterious third male voice during longer Audio Overviews. Google has confirmed that additional voices and dialects are coming, alongside APIs and video overviews, but it’s unclear if this third voice is a feature or a bug. AI features can be quite a hit and miss, but Google’s NotebookLM is definitely one of the hits. NotebookLM is a personal AI research assistant that lets users control the AI’s data sources, enabling them

Why I recommend this Lenovo tablet over competing models that cost twice the price

ZDNET's key takeaways The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 is available now for $549. It features a gorgeous display, dual USB-C ports, and excellent performance with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

Your Android phone is getting a big security upgrade for free - these Pixel models included

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Mobile devices are always a tempting target for cybercriminals. That's true not just for consumers but for companies. According to Google, more than half of organizations have pointed to smartphones as their most exposed endpoint, and data breaches often occur from improper use of these devices. In a blog post released earlier this month, Google describes the latest protections available with its Android Enterprise platform, which rolls out to most Android 16-compatible handset

Best Internet Providers in Orlando, Florida

What is the best internet provider in Orlando? Orlando may be home to the most magical place on Earth and a new Epic Universe of attractions, but for those of us who call it home, internet options can be a bit less cheery. CNET recommends Spectrum for being the best internet in Orlando. More so for areas without fiber access, due to the cable giant's broad coverage and relatively affordable internet. Plans in certain parts of Orlando start as low as $25 per month, and Spectrum brings the option

A real fixed-point decimal crate in Rust

Primitive fixed-point decimal types. Rust built-in f32 and f64 types have two drawbacks: can not represent decimal numbers in base 10 accurately, because they are in base 2; can not guarantee the fraction precision, because they are floating-point. This crate provides fixed-point decimal types to address the issues by using integer types to represent numbers with a scaling factor (also called as "scale") in base 10 to achieve the accuracy. This is a common idea. Many other decimal crates do

The Robinhood founder who might just revolutionize energy (if he succeeds)

When Baiju Bhatt stepped away from his role as Chief Creative Officer at Robinhood last year, only those close to him could have predicted his next move: launching a space company built around tech that the aerospace industry has largely dismissed, and which might be more groundbreaking than anyone realizes. If people aren’t paying much attention, that’s just fine with Bhatt, who co-founded the trading app in 2013, five years after earning his master’s degree in mathematics at Stanford. It mean

Trump EPA May Undo Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos

In 2024, the Biden administration issued a ban on the last type of asbestos still used in the United States due to its links to cancer. The Trump administration isn’t so sure that we need to protect people from such things. Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency will delay the ban on the material and reconsider the rule entirely. Because, hey, when has a little cancer ever hurt anyone? The material at the core of this back-and-forth policymak

SpaceX Starship explodes during engine test, Musk shares preliminary investigation results

Facepalm: SpaceX was preparing its Starship rocket for a 10th flight test – initially scheduled for June 29 – when it exploded during a static fire at the Starbase launch site in Texas shortly after 11 pm MT on Wednesday. The launch timeline is now unclear following the incident. A video shared by NASA Spaceflight shows a powerful explosion lighting up the Texas night sky during what was supposed to be a routine engine test. Cameron County officials confirmed the incident and said no one was in

Will Android ‘App Cast’ let you stream apps from device to device? (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google Play Services shows evidence of an in-development “App Cast” tool. While its full functionality is unclear, it appears able to gather info about remote Android devices and access their installed apps. One possibility could be the ability to remotely stream apps from one Android device to another. Google’s always working on something new for Android, and we spend a fair amount of time digging through app and system updates in the hope of getting

Spotify may finally let you import music without jumping through hoops (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all. If you want to switch to Spotify, this will be the position you’ll find yourself in since it doesn’t offer an im
