Grammarly now offers spelling and grammar check for five more languages

Grammarly built its reputation on being a tool for checking spelling, grammar, and writing tips in English. The company is now expanding the scope of these features to support five more languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Italian. The company said it will now suggest paragraph-level rewrites for tone, style, and flow for the new languages. Users writing in any of these five languages, as well as English, will also be able to translate text in-line in 19 languages. The multilingua

RSS co-creator launches new protocol for AI data licensing

In the wake of Anthropic’s $1.5 billion copyright settlement, the AI industry is coming to terms with its training data problem. There are as many as 40 other pending cases that seek damages for unlicensed data — including one that takes Midjourney to court for creating images of Superman. Without some kind of licensing system, AI companies could face an avalanche of copyright lawsuits that some worry will set the industry back permanently. Now, a group of technologists and web publishers has

Garmin’s Top Training Features, Explained

So, you’ve got a shiny new Garmin watch. Maybe it’s the sleek Vivoactive 6, the run-focused Forerunner 970, or (my favorite) the ultimate all-arounder Fēnix 8. You’re tracking your steps, sleep, floors climbed, calories burned—all the standard, self-explanatory stuff. But then you dig a little deeper into the menus, and it hits you: A tidal wave of data. Training Status? Acute Load? Body Battery? What the hell do these things mean? Don’t let it spike your heart rate (which the watch also tracks

The Pixel’s latest Android update has a hidden trick for organizing your Quick Settings

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden feature in Android 16 QPR1 offers a new, faster way to reorganize your Quick Settings tiles. Instead of dragging and dropping, you can double-tap a tile to select it and then tap its new position to move it. This method is more precise and avoids the awkward scrolling and accidental drops common with the old way. Google rolled out the Android 16 QPR1 update to Pixel devices last week, bringing the company’s new Material 3 Expressive design to the

Need Linux help? My favorite forums, groups, and mailing lists when I need support

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways If you need help with Linux, try these outlets. You might not get an answer immediately, but one will come. These are all free to join and enjoy (just watch out for trolls). Linux is about community, and it has been for a very long time. Without community, I'm not sure if Linux would be where it is today. When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, I turned to old-school solution

This Is the First Time Scientists Have Seen Decisionmaking in a Brain

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes inserted inside the brain to simultaneously record the activity of more than half a million neurons distributed across 95 percent of the rodents’ brain volume. Thanks to the image obtained, the researchers were able to confirm an already theorized architecture of thought: that there is no single r

Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming

Spotify is finally launching high-quality, lossless music streaming support for premium account holders after years of waiting. The company first talked about a hi-fi tier in 2021 — which would offer CD-quality audio –but the plan faced multiple delays, partially due to licensing issues. Last year, CEO Daniel Ek said that the company was in the “early days” of launching lossless streaming support. Over the past few years, reports and code hints in the app suggested that the company was plannin

Qualcomm unveils driverless tech with BMW, sees 'domino effect' of customers

A concept car shows off Qualcomm's auto technology. The car was on display at the Qualcomm booth at the IAA Mobility show in Munich on September 9, 2025. Qualcomm's self-driving technology developed alongside BMW is expected to spark significant interest from other automakers keen to licence the system, the CEO of the U.S. chip giant told CNBC. The comments underscore how Qualcomm, a major player in smartphone chips, is diversifying its business into new areas, with automotive among its fastes

The iPhone Air's top wireless charging speed is 20W

The announcement of the iPhone Air surprised exactly nobody during today's Apple "Awe dropping" event. As we finally get officiall details about this lightweight smartphone model, one of the biggest questions is about the battery. Thin devices mean thinner batteries, so we've been curious to see how the iPhone Air will stack up. One thing we now know is that it's less beefy than standard smartphones when it comes to wireless charging. According to the tech specs provided by Apple on its website

Robinhood embraces copy trading after warning competitors about regulatory risks

What a difference a changing regulatory environment makes. Roughly nine months after suggesting that a young copy trading platform could only operate because it flew “under the radar” of regulators, Robinhood has announced its own entry into the space with “Robinhood Social,” a new feature that will allow users to follow and manually replicate the trades of prominent investors. The move represents a striking about-face for the online brokerage, which has historically been cautious about featur

'We're all kind of in shock.' Oracle's revenue projections leave analysts slack-jawed

Oracle Chair and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison speaks at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco on Sept. 16, 2019. John DiFucci from Guggenheim Securities said he was "blown away." TD Cowen's Derrick Wood called it a "momentous quarter." And Brad Zelnick of Deutsche Bank said, "We're all kind of in shock, in a very good way." That's how the analysts opened their comments and questions during Oracle's quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, as the company's stock price was in the

US High school students' scores fall in reading and math

WASHINGTON (AP) — A decade-long slide in high schoolers’ reading and math performance persisted during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 12th graders’ scores dropping to their lowest level in more than 20 years, according to results released Tuesday from an exam known as the nation’s report card. Eighth-grade students also lost significant ground in science skills, according to the results from the National Assessment of Education Progress. The assessments were the first since the pandemic for eight

Apple’s Best New iOS 26 Feature Has Been on Pixel Phones for Years

Ever since I was a child, I’ve despised answering the phone when an unknown number calls. Who could be on the other end? Literally anyone: an acquaintance, a telemarketer, a serial killer who’s menacingly breathing into the mouthpiece. While Apple’s upcoming Liquid Glass refresh in iOS 26 is likely to be the most immediately noticeable aspect of the software update as it starts rolling out to the public on September 15, I believe a smaller addition in iOS 26 might even have a bigger impact on h

Hands-on with Apple’s new iPhones: Beauty and the beast and the regular-looking one

CUPERTINO, Calif.—We're a long way from the days when a new iPhone launch just meant one new phone. It shifted to "basically the same phone in two sizes" a decade or so ago, and then to a version of "one lineup of regular phones and one lineup of Pro phones" in 2017 when the iPhone 8 was introduced next to the iPhone X. But thanks to Apple's newly introduced iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 lineup gives new phone buyers more choices and trade-offs than they've ever had before. Apple's phones are now a

Yet, I love janky programming languages. In particular, I really enjoy PHP and Javascript. Here's why. They are used by people who get shit done.

SAP warns of high-severity vulnerabilities in multiple products

As hackers exploit a high-severity vulnerability in SAP’s flagship Enterprise Resource Planning software product, the software maker is warning users of more than two dozen newly detected vulnerabilities in its other widely used products, including a security flaw with a maximum-severity rating of 10. SAP on Tuesday said the highest-severity vulnerability—with a rating of 10 out of a possible 10—was found in NetWeaver, a platform that serves as the technical foundation for many of the company’s

Tesla Admits That Its Cars May Never Fully Drive Themselves

Tesla has quietly changed how it defines "Full Self-Driving," Electrek reports, in a way that awfully sounds like it's giving up on CEO Elon Musk's perennially pushed-back promise that its cars will actually drive themselves without human help. The change comes in a document outlining a potential and absolutely ludicrous $1 trillion compensation package for Musk that the Tesla board recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The GDP of a wealthy nation's worth in stock options,

Apple Debuts AirPods Pro 3 With a Host of Improvements for $249

Apple was widely expected to release the next-generation of its AirPods Pro noise-canceling earbuds this fall, and now it is has. As part of its "awe-dropping" event, the company debuted the AirPods Pro 3. The new buds are upgraded in several ways, including better noise canceling and sound quality, and they have heart-rate sensors like the Beats PowerBeats Pro 2. You can preorder them today for $249 and they ship on Sept. 19. Here are some of their key upgrades, according to Apple. It's worth

Just One Lonely Product Still Uses Apple’s Lightning Connector—Can You Guess Which One?

While the world focuses on Apple’s latest slew of new products, we are taking a moment for the last bastion of Apple’s proprietary past—the one remaining product with a Lightning connector that, somehow, Apple still sells. We have previously lamented Apple's drawn-out transition to USB-C. It’s been far from quick and far from straightforward, leaving a mess of dongles and confusion in its wake. It was last year, at its September 2024 “Glowtime” event, that Apple made the move to change that, t
