Last week, Coursera’s new CEO, Greg Hart, delivered something the company’s investors had been eagerly awaiting: growth. In his first full quarter as CEO, Greg’s leadership helped drive Coursera’s stock price up 36% following the earnings call, pushing the company’s valuation past the $2 billion mark. However, this pursuit of prioritizing Wall Street could come at a cost to learners worldwide. The company is rolling out a “Preview Mode,” a feature that would lock almost all course content, inc

Instagram just announced an update with some long-requested features. The most notable is the introduction of a location-sharing tool for friends. Once opted into, the map shares a user's last active location with chosen contacts. The location sharing feature is turned off until selected and there are numerous customization controls. For instance, Instagram users can choose to share location data with all friends, Close Friends, selected accounts or nobody at all. This data can be restricted wh
For me, watching Freakier Friday -- the new sequel to the 2003 body-switch comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis -- led to a change in perspective: I was now a fan of two Freaky Friday movies headlined by Lohan and Curtis. From Curtis' nostalgic and still-hilarious portrayal of waking up as a 15-year-old inhabiting her step-grandmother's body to entertaining scenes with a job-switching fortune teller (Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer), the sequel offers wacky and laugh-out-lo
Meta is updating Instagram today with some familiar social network features from other services. For example, the photo- and video-sharing service is basically getting its own version of the classic retweet. Separately, Instagram continues to take inspiration from Snapchat with its own social map feature. Instagram is two months shy of turning 15, and as a sign of maturity, we’re getting the first official repost button: With reposts, you can repost public reels and feed posts, making it easie
Nigerian national Chukwuemeka Victor Amachukwu has been extradited from France to the U.S. to face charges of hacking, fraud, and identity theft for suspected spearphishing attacks on U.S. tax preparation businesses. The attack were designed to steal personal data and file fraudulent tax and loan applications, allowing threat actors to steal over $3 million in total. Specifically, the Nigerian national allegedly obtained approximately $2,500,000 from fraudulent tax refunds (out of $8.4 million
“Most of my work starts in Lagos, but it doesn’t stay there for long,” says Anita Ashiru. She’s one of the sole production designers working in Nigeria, where her team builds multi-scale sets and stage designs for the country’s booming Afrobeats industry. Requests often come at a whim for work; Ashiru might be called abroad by the likes of frequent collaborator Davido, a Nigerian-American singer-songwriter who frequently shoots music videos in South Africa. Ashiru’s job is one that largely didn

Right now at LG, when you buy an eligible full-size French door refrigerator while it's on sale, you can get a complimentary single-door mini-fridge (a $515 value).

After her game was banned from sale on Steam in a baffling decision with no appeal option , solo developer Cara Cadaver has made VILE: Exhumed available as shareware under a Creative Commons license. The project can be downloaded for free, but players can opt to donate in support of the solo developer's work. Both Cara and publisher DreadXP will pay forward those donations, with 50 percent of the game's profits being given to the Toronto-based charity Red Door Family Shelter . The group aids fam

If you’re fed up with rising streaming service costs, Roku has some good news for you. Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood says that the company’s just-launched streaming service cost “less than a cup of coffee.” However, he added, it is not meant to directly compete with Netflix and other streamers, but rather, complement them. Roku’s new ad-free service, Howdy, dropped today, and it comes at a time when the cost of commercial-free streaming has skyrocketed. It’s almost expected now that stream
CTM360 has discovered a new global malware campaign dubbed "FraudOnTok" that spreads the SparkKitty spyware through fake TikTok shops to steal cryptocurrency wallets and drain funds. The unique spyware trojan discovered by CTM360 is specifically engineered to exploit TikTok Shop users across the globe. Dubbed as “FraudOnTok”, this highly coordinated scam operation employs a hybrid scam model that combines phishing and malware to deceive buyers and affiliate program participants on TikTok’s gro
There’s a special kind of emotional drain that comes from talking to someone who disagrees with everything you say. And thanks to a string of viral TikToks, this particular red flag now has a name: the “contrarian friend.” This type of companion isn’t just occasionally opinionated or a stickler for proper grammar. No matter the topic, the “contrarian” is always chiming in with a buzzkill rebuttal. You rave about a new “must-try” restaurant? The “contrarian” will shut you down with an instinctiv
AI companies are pouring so much money into AI, experts are starting to warn that it may be propping up the entire US economy. As investor Paul Kedrosky told the Wall Street Journal, spending on AI infrastructure has already eclipsed spending on telecom and internet infrastructure during the dot-com crisis over two decades ago, raising the specter of a massive bubble. Kedrosky also floated the possibility that we haven't really felt the effects of president Donald Trump's tariffs due to the sc
Freaky Friday is back after over two decades since we last saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan swap bodies thanks to a suitably freaky family curse. However, Disney’s new follow-up, in theaters this week, leaning heavily on the charms of a stellar ensemble, is a sequel constantly threatening to fall apart under the weight of uneven execution. In Freaky Friday, it was just mother Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lohan) who swapped bodies, a kooky way for mother and child to better

Kerry Wan/ZDNET With the start of back-to-school shopping, you may have tweens, teens, and college-aged kids asking for their first smartphone or an upgrade to their old device. And right now at Verizon, both new and existing customers can get up to four free iPhone 15 Plus smartphones when you sign up for an Unlimited Welcome, Plus, or Ultimate plan.

No feedback, no one to bounce ideas off, no “nice job” at the end of the day. The freedom is great, but it gets weirdly quiet. Anyone else relate?
In brief: The end of a cloud storage subscription does not immediately erase your files, but it does set a countdown clock in motion. Timelines and policies differ, but the underlying risk is the same: unless quick action is taken to download, move, or delete files, the content may eventually be lost for good. For many consumers, digital subscriptions have become a routine monthly expense. They cover a wide range of services – music, video, software, games, and increasingly, cloud storage. As t
When the idea was first floated of bringing the iconic Alien franchise to TV, many were skeptical. Films such as Ridley Scott’s 1979 original and James Cameron’s 1986 sequel are all-time classics. Follow-ups, like David Fincher’s 1992 film and Scott’s 2012 return, were also noteworthy for their own reasons. Alien just felt like a franchise that had been very well-explored already and could only be damaged in translation to a different medium. Well, I am elated to report that any skeptics, mysel

Leveraging meal kit coupons is the extreme couponing of our times—a capitalism hack-a-thon right up there with trial yoga classes and attempting to cancel your Adobe subscription. Meal kits like HelloFresh have always been a better deal than they get credit for, even at full price: It’s actually hard to recreate meal kit meals for less than you can get the recipes delivered to your home. But it’s especially worth it when you can find a HelloFresh coupon, promo code, or discount at more than half
Marvel Rivals season 2.5 may have taken our heroes off-world as they battled across Arakko, but season 3 is throwing us into the furthest reaches of space to fight a new threat: Knull and his symbiote army. Stopping one symbiote is tough enough. Fighting off an army of them is going to require a whole new wardrobe's worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now -- including the Milano Repair Logs event that evens the odds
Recap: GOG recently launched Freedomtobuy.games, a new initiative designed to fight censorship attempts against NSFW-themed games. For 48 hours, the CD Projekt subsidiary game offered users the ability to reclaim 13 games at risk of disappearing – for free. The giveaway has now ended, and downloads were so massive that the company struggled to maintain platform stability. GOG originally launched as "Good Old Games" in 2008, offering DRM-free copies of classic titles updated to run on modern Win
On a warm July evening, I dove into bed and grabbed my phone, giddy and anxious. As I scrolled through TikTok, attempting to calm my nerves, a Google Calendar notification flashed on the screen: “VIDEO CALL WITH SIMONE.” Before I could swipe the reminder away, Simone FaceTimed me. I attempted to rehearse my greeting as the call buffered: Should I keep it cool with a, “Hey, what’s good?” No, that sounds cold. What about a Keke Palmer-esque, “Girl!” No, that’s doing too much. “Good evening?” No,
“Memory oppresses me.” - Severian, The Book of the New Sun Interviewer: “What happens if you allocate memory with C’s malloc and try to free it with Rust’s dealloc, if you get a pointer to the memory from C?” Me: “If we do it via FFI then there’s a possibility the program may continue working (because the underlying structs share the same memory layout? right? …right?)” Now if you have any experience working with memory management, you know that this is a dangerous answer. But I didn’t know it a

While io9 had mixed feelings about last week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, one thing about “A Space Adventure Hour” that worked well was its gleeful recreation of 1960s Hollywood. With a bit of chaotic holodeck assistance, the story saw likenesses of the main cast acting out a murder mystery set behind the scenes of a show that very much resembled the original Star Trek, complete with a nerdy creator that’s clearly a stand-in for Trek‘s own Gene Roddenberry. Admitting the effort w
