Let us git rid of it, angry GitHub users say of forced Copilot features

Among the software developers who use Microsoft's GitHub, the most popular community discussion in the past 12 months has been a request for a way to block Copilot, the company's AI service, from generating issues and pull requests in code repositories. The second most popular discussion – where popularity is measured in upvotes – is a bug report that seeks a fix for the inability of users to disable Copilot code reviews. Both of these questions, the first opened in May and the second opened a

The Apple Smart Home Is Almost Here: 4 Rumored Devices Could Show Up This Month

It's a matter of when, not if. Apple's smart home is coming, with multiple reports saying the tech giant is ready to release its own line of smart devices and home security products. While it's a little early, Apple's important "awe dropping event" on Sept. 9 could showcase the first of its big home expansion. We already expect to see the new iPhone 17, a new Apple Watch and an AirPod announcement. Here's what could happen if there's a surprise home tech release, too, from table robots to home

I've Heard the iPhone 17 Air Rumors, and I Don't Get the Hype

Apple recently sent out invitations to an "awe-dropping" special event on Sept. 9, which is widely presumed to be its annual iPhone announcement extravaganza. Rumors about the upcoming iPhone lineup have been circulating for months now, with leaks dropping as early as last year. One of the most well-circulated rumors is that, in addition to the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple will also introduce a brand-new ultra-thin model called the iPhone 17 Air. I'm in the market for a n

I Made My iPhone a Little Bit Dumber and It's Made My Life So Much Better

It's not every day that you get to upgrade your phone, and I was so excited to trade in my well-loved but outdated iPhone 11 last fall for a brand new iPhone 16. I was ready to channel my inner photographer with the nicer cameras, not worry too much about charging it every night thanks to better battery life and -- very exciting to me -- to have a phone in a new Barbie pink color. But what I didn't expect is that one new addition would threaten to ruin my entire experience with my brand new phon

Real Estate Speculators Are Swooping In to Buy Disaster-Hit Homes

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. It is part of The Disaster Economy, a Grist series exploring the often chaotic, lucrative world of disaster response and recovery. It is published with support from the CO2 Foundation.

Meraki Espresso Machine Review: Fine Grind, Loose Fit

In theory, you'd like your espresso machine to contain everything you need to make good coffee, including a grinder for fresh beans. But in practice, this hasn't always been the case. The classic knock on espresso machines with built-in grinders is that the grinders have often been kinda terrible. That situation is changing fast, as consumers start paying attention—and as the conventional wisdom seeps in that grinders are one of the most important components to making good coffee.

How to Babyproof Your Home (2025)

As a new parent myself, I can tell you unequivocally that when babies become mobile, the world becomes their playground. Coffee tables become climbing gyms, cabinets become treasure troves, and phone chargers become rope toys.

We’re here to help: This guide will help you spot hidden dangers, make smart fixes, and provide a safe space for little ones to expl

Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice is as bleak as it is hilarious

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. At my second day at TIFF 2025, the longest line I saw wasn’t for a movie: it was for the Criterion Closet. The space is housed in a van so that it could make it up to Toronto, and honestly, it felt a little wrong to see the outside of it after watching everyone from Michael Cera to Hideo Kojima spend time in its cramped interior digging through Blu-Rays. The line was long enough that I didn’t even bother tr

Scientists Boast That Their AI-Powered Stethoscope Only Fails Two-Thirds of the Time

A team of researchers in the UK say their AI-powered stethoscope can detect three different heart conditions in just 15 seconds. It's also, they readily admit, horrendously inaccurate. Placed over the chest, the "smart" gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that're undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart's electrical activity. Then, all that info is packaged and sent "securely" to the c

Galaxy S25 vs Galaxy S25 FE: 4 reasons why the cheaper one isn’t worth it

With every passing year, the Galaxy S25 FE has been inching closer to the main high-end lineup, both in features and price. They share the same software with One UI 8, boast top-notch build quality, have great displays, top-tier IP ratings, and whatnot. But what started as a solid mid-tier phone that felt like a flagship without the flagship money is now becoming a less enticing deal. With the gap bridging, there are more reasons to spend that extra cash on the standard Galaxy S25 to get a bett

Google Pixel 10 review: The best of Pixel without the fuss

Google Pixel 10 Google has struck a great balance between its baseline and Pro-tier flagships with the Pixel 10. While it doesn't have absolutely everything found in its bigger siblings, the more flexible camera package, new AI tools, great design, and faster processor make for a compact flagship phone with few compromises. Best of all, it still costs the same as last year. The Pixel 10 really is one of the best phones Google has ever made. For my daily driver, I typically pick a hulking great

I compared my Sonos Arc Ultra with an unlikely soundbar rival, and it went down to the wire

Jada Jones/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. If you have $1,000 to spend on a soundbar, there are compelling options to choose from. Since its late 2024 release, the Sonos Arc Ultra has been at the top of the heap in this price range, but there are new competitors that give Sonos a run for its money.

Trump Admin Raids Hyundai Construction Site as US Manufacturing Jobs Keep Shrinking

Almost 500 people were detained Thursday in an immigration raid at a new Hyundai manufacturing complex in Georgia. The massive raid highlights growing tensions between President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies, his tariff-fueled trade negotiations, and his promise to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. “This was the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations,” said Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of the agency’s Atlanta

Should a Plug-In Hybrid Be Your Next Car? Here's How to Decide

"A plug-in hybrid is the gateway drug for EVs," says Amelia Dalgaard, an automotive expert known online as the Motorhead Mama. That's because plug-in hybrids address the range anxiety that stops some car buyers from going full-EV at first. Despite the growing popularity of traditional electric vehicles, not everyone is ready for a fully-electric car. And luckily, there's another option that's a good first step for many drivers: plug-in hybrids. Plug-in hybrids let you drive on battery power f

RFK Jr Is Suddenly in Real Trouble

Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has weathered ample family tragedy, drug and alcohol addiction, infection from an alleged brain worm, and a few sex scandals both minor and major — and now he's weathering condemnation from his own political allies that could presage a genuine crash out. Amid his single-minded quest against vaccines, the 71-year-old health secretary seems to have made a serious miscalculation when he chose to fire Centers for Disease Control and Prevent

Horrible Things Are Happening at Antarctic Facilities

If you think your job is tough, just be glad you haven’t had to do a tour at an Antarctic research base.
