arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-12 20:54:38

President Trump's attempt to fire a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission was given a boost today, as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts granted a stay that temporarily blocks a lower-court ruling against Trump. The Supreme Court hasn't ruled on the merits of the case. Today's order from Roberts stayed the lower-court ruling "pending further order of The Chief Justice or of the Court."

AI will consume all of IT by 2030—but not all IT jobs, Gartner says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-12 21:17:49

In five years, you won’t be able to spell IT without AI, Gartner predicted today. VP analysts Alicia Mullery and Daryl Plummer delivered the sentiment at their keynote address at Gartner’s IT Symposium in Gold Coast, Australia, as reported by The Register. Gartner believes that by 2030, all work performed by an IT department will involve the use of AI. That’s a progression from the 81 percent of IT work that’s done today without any use of AI, per Mullery. By 2030, not only will all IT work re

This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application.

There are myriad questions about how NASA's budget process will play out in the coming weeks, with the start of the new fiscal year on October 1 looming. For example, the Trump administration may seek to shut off dozens of science missions that are either already in space or in development. Although Congress has signaled a desire to keep these missions active, absent a confirmed budget, the White House has made plans to turn off the lights.

Why Your Office Chair Should Have Lumbar Support

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-10-13 13:00:00

Office chairs with lumbar support have been around for decades, but it has largely been relegated to high-end seats. That's no longer the case. Lumbar support is a standard feature on most office chairs these days, even budget models. Often it's included, but you may have to pay a small fee to add it on. But is having lumbar support really worth it? Unless you have perfect posture, the lumbar spine is the area in your lower back that needs help. A standard office chair may not follow the natura

OnePlus 15’s leaked camera spec hints at higher zoom, but with a catch

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus 15 camera leaks reveal a new focal length and aperture for the 50MP periscope telephoto lens. The new lens supposedly has a narrower f/2.8 aperture, a downgrade from the OnePlus 13’s f/2.6 aperture. Another possible leak suggests the OnePlus 15 might be cheaper due to cost-cutting measures, including a different display and the end of the Hasselblad partnership.

Much of the world will get to witness the spectacle of a total lunar eclipse on Sunday night. A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, briefly aligning in a way that completely shadows the Moon. A full moon lunar eclipse happens in three phases. The first phase is the penumbral phase when the Moon starts to enter Earth’s shadow. Then the partial phase begins, when a part of the moon enters the deep part of Earth’s shadow called the umbra.
