Apple Didn’t Approve, but Amazon Clears Out AirPods Pro 2 at a Record Low for Prime Day

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-05 22:41:07

AirPods Pro 2 are in stores just a year but already they set the benchmark by which other wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation are judged. On the subject of sound quality, nothing else comes close to holding a candle right now. Normally these earbuds cost $249, but Amazon is offering them over 40% off during Prime Day, reducing the price to as low as $149. This deal is for everyone (and not just Prime members) and it is a rarity for an Apple device. Remember, Apple never really offer

Federal ‘click to cancel subscriptions’ rule struck down in court [U]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-02-06 03:54:53

A “click to cancel” law was last month passed in California, and now the FTC has ratified a federal rule designed to achieve the same goal. The idea of both is to force companies to make it as easy to cancel an online or app subscription as it is to sign up in the first place. Update: Following a court challenge, the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the rule.

Boris Zhitkov/Getty The adoption of AI tools in the workplace is making employees more productive, but new research from freelance hiring firm Upwork suggests it might also be hurting their mental health. Following a survey of 2,500 workers (including executives, full-time employees, and freelancers) across multiple countries, the research showed that the most devoted users of AI tools, including agents, are also 88% more likely to experience burnout and twice as likely to quit, compared to th

Using MPC for Anonymous and Private DNA Analysis

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-06 02:52:29

Earlier this year, Monadic DNA kicked off an experiment to demonstrate that people can access and analyze their genetic data with anonymity and privacy. Monadic DNA collected saliva samples from thirty encrypted genomics pioneers at an event in Denver. These participants later used a Web app to claim their genotyping results using a unique kit ID and a self-selected PIN. The app guided users through uploading their data to encrypted storage powered by Nillion’s multi-party compute (MPC) techno

Phrase origin: Why do we "call" functions?

news.ycombinator.com Arthur O Dwyer 2026-02-05 17:04:45

On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves. The true answer seems to be the middle one — “calling” as in “calling up, summoning” — but indi

BLUETTI Power Station Is Nearly 60% Off for Prime Day, 17-Year Lifespan Makes It Practically Free Per Year

gizmodo.com Mike Fazioli 2026-02-06 03:10:47

So much for easing into Prime Day — Amazon has apparently decided to open the annual blowout event with some borderline insane deals. Take the Bluetti Solar Generator Elite 200 V2, for instance — a top-rated portable power station that normally sells for $1,700 and is worth every penny even at that price. Today it’s just $700 — Amazon’s 59% Prime Day deal is chopping a cool grand off of the price. Prime Day is usually when you make splurge purchases on fun things you would never dream of paying

Critical CitrixBleed 2 vulnerability has been under active exploit for weeks

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-06 02:20:24

A critical vulnerability allowing hackers to bypass multifactor authentication in network management devices made by Citrix has been actively exploited for more than a month, researchers said. The finding is at odds with advisories from the vendor saying there is no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation. Tracked as CVE-2025-5777, the vulnerability shares similarities with CVE-2023-4966, a security flaw nicknamed CitrixBleed, which led to the compromise of 20,000 Citrix devices two years ago. The

Record-Setting Qubit Performance Marks Important Step Toward Practical Quantum Computing

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-06 14:05:09

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential of any classical supercomputer. But before quantum advantage drastically changes information technology as we know it, researchers have yet to address the many hurdles that are preventing quantum computers from entering into the mainstream. That said, quantum computing as a field has evolved drama

Wildfires are challenging air quality monitoring infrastructure
