Will Android ‘App Cast’ let you stream apps from device to device? (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google Play Services shows evidence of an in-development “App Cast” tool. While its full functionality is unclear, it appears able to gather info about remote Android devices and access their installed apps. One possibility could be the ability to remotely stream apps from one Android device to another. Google’s always working on something new for Android, and we spend a fair amount of time digging through app and system updates in the hope of getting

A Visual Guide to Genome Editors

It was Victoria Gray’s first time in London and, despite a sleepless plane ride across the Atlantic Ocean, she wasn’t about to skip sightseeing. While crossing Trafalgar Square, Gray paused briefly to reflect on her experience. “I would never have been able to walk this long before,” she told a NPR reporter. “I feel like I got a second chance.” Four years earlier, in 2019, Gray had become the first patient with sickle cell anemia — a genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to become sticky

Archaeologists Unearth Viking-Era Burial With Incredibly Rare Casket

Archaeologists from Denmark’s Moesgaard Museum have uncovered 30 Viking Age graves dating from 800 to 1050 CE, just under five miles north of Aarhus. Located near the town of Lisbjerg, the burial site has yielded a number of spectacular objects hinting at ties with Danish royalty. “The burial site is most likely connected to the Viking-era manor in Lisbjerg, which is less than a kilometer from the burial site,” Mads Ravn, an archaeologist from Moesgaard and Viking Age expert, explained in the M

Streaming Has Overtaken Traditional TV for the First Time Ever

Streaming became the most popular single form of TV usage years ago, but that was not its final hurdle. The juggernaut of broadcast and cable television combined meant that consumers were still using traditional TV services more than streaming overall, even if streaming was more popular than either of them individually. According to data from Nielsen, streaming just overcame this final hurdle. Nielsen says that in May, cable television accounted for 24.1% of all TV usage and broadcast TV repres

Appeals court tosses $300 million Optis patent verdict against Apple

This latest decision (via Reuters) marks the second time a nine-figure damages verdict in this case has been thrown out. Now, the case is heading back to Texas for yet another trial.

Latest Covid Variant Now Driving Over a Third of U.S. Cases

The newest concerning variant of covid-19 is rapidly advancing across the U.S. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that NB.1.8.1 has started to supplant other circulating strains of the coronavirus. According to the CDC’s latest Nowcast, covering the last two weeks through June 7, NB.1.8.1 is likely causing 37% of all covid-19 cases in the U.S., just barely behind the current dominant variant, LP.8.1 (38%).

The Download: power in Puerto Rico, and the pitfalls of AI agents

On the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico lies the country’s only coal-fired power station, flanked by a mountain of toxic ash. The plant, owned by the utility giant AES, has long plagued this part of Puerto Rico with air and water pollution. Before the coal plant opened Guayama had on average just over 103 cancer cases per year. In 2003, the year after the plant opened, the number of cancer cases in the municipality surged by 50%, to 167. In 2022, the most recent year with available data, cas

Here’s a leaked Pixel 10 Pro case on a Pixel 9 Pro

TL;DR We have obtained a case for the unreleased Google Pixel 10 Pro. To test it out, we put a Pixel 9 Pro into the case. The Pixel 9 Pro fits, but there are a lot of changes that make it not ideal to swap cases between the two devices. We expect Google to announce the new Pixel 10 series in the coming weeks. As usual, we’ve already seen plenty of leaks surrounding the phones, including a nearly-retail-ready device and a likely retail-ready version in a behind-the-scenes clip from a commercia

Best Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories: Controllers, Cases, and More

The Switch 2 isn’t like other consoles. If you were meant to take your Xbox Series X (7/10, WIRED Review) to the park, you’d probably need a very strange-looking backpack. For the Switch 2, portability isn't just a feature, it's a key selling point. With that in mind, there are two paths you can take to outfit your console for adventure, based on how you play. If your Switch 2 will spend most of its life in the dock or in your hands on the couch, I’d recommend an attachable grip case. Like your

The best Mini ITX PC cases of 2025: Expert recommended

I'm old enough to remember when PCs were huge, looming units. They had to be big to hold all the components that made up a PC. As gaming PCs became a thing, these were even bigger because the high-end components generated a lot of heat. In turn, the heat had to be dissipated with copious amounts of airflow. Thanks to Moore's law, components have become smaller and more efficient, to the point where even a gaming PC can fit into a surprisingly compact case. Also: The best portable power stations

We May Be a Step Closer to Seeing the Original ‘Star Wars’ Again

Fans can argue day and night about Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy but there’s no denying she pulled an awesome move earlier this week. As previously reported, the British Film Institute had been advertising that it would be screening a very rare print of George Lucas’ Star Wars from its original theatrical run. It’s the version of the film you can basically never see anymore, at least not officially, so Kennedy showed up at the event to change that. “I’m here to make sure you don’t think

Zero-Shot Forecasting: Our Search for a Time-Series Foundation Model

Introduction In the last few years, the field of time-series forecasting has seen a fundamental shift. Where we once depended solely on classic statistical methods, think ARIMA, SARIMA, and Prophet, new “foundation” models have emerged, promising to bring the power and flexibility of large language models (LLMs) into the world of time-series data. The allure is obvious: can we build a single, reusable forecasting model that works across a variety of datasets and domains, instead of painstakingl

Inside Amsterdam’s high-stakes experiment to create fair welfare AI

Finding a better way Every time an Amsterdam resident applies for benefits, a caseworker reviews the application for irregularities. If an application looks suspicious, it can be sent to the city’s investigations department—which could lead to a rejection, a request to correct paperwork errors, or a recommendation that the candidate receive less money. Investigations can also happen later, once benefits have been dispersed; the outcome may force recipients to pay back funds, and even push some
