The Largest Camera Ever Built Releases Its First Images of the Cosmos

Perched atop the Cerro Pachón mountain in Chile, 8,684 feet high in the Atacama Desert, where the dry air creates some of the best conditions in the world to view the night sky, a new telescope unlike anything built before has begun its survey of the cosmos. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, named for the astronomer who discovered evidence of dark matter in 1978, is expected to reveal some 20 billion galaxies, 17 billion stars in the Milky Way, 10 million supernovas, and millions of smaller objects

The X Window System didn't immediately have X terminals

For a while, X terminals were a reasonably popular way to give people comparatively inexpensive X desktops. These X terminals relied on X's network transparency so that only the X server had to run on the X terminal itself, with all of your terminal windows and other programs running on a server somewhere and just displaying on the X terminal. For a long time, using a big server and a lab full of X terminals was significantly cheaper than setting up a lab full of actual workstations (until inexp

Tesla’s robotaxi is live: here are some of the first reactions

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Tesla finally did the damn thing. The company launched its hotly anticipated robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, June 22nd — and we’re now starting to see some of the first reactions roll in. But first, we have to get a few important caveats out of the way. Tellingly, the service is not open to the general public

Tesla's Robotaxi Service Hits the Road in Texas

After nearly a decade of waiting, Tesla has launched a limited self-driving car service in the Austin, Texas, area. Company executives, including Musk, have said the autonomous vehicle technology debuting today is critical to Tesla’s future. The limited service, which for now is only open to early users invited by Tesla, includes some 20 2025 Model Y sedans available for rides through a Tesla-made app between 6 and 12 am. Terms of service posted on X by invited riders indicate that the service

Israel urges citizens to turn off home cameras as Iran hacks surveillance systems

Cutting corners: As tensions between Israel and Iran escalate, Israeli authorities are urging citizens to take an unusual but crucial step: turn off their home security cameras or change their passwords. The warning comes amid growing evidence that Iran is actively attempting to tap into private surveillance devices across Israel to gather intelligence for military operations. In the aftermath of recent Iranian missile strikes on Tel Aviv, concerns about the vulnerability of internet-connected

Tesla's inaugural Robotaxi rides will have a human 'safety monitor' on board

A select few will soon get to experience Tesla's robotaxi service for the first time, but they won't be alone in the car. The company plans to launch its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas tomorrow, but a "Tesla Safety Monitor" will accompany the first riders, according to email invitations sent out to "Early Access Riders." It's unclear what capabilities the safety monitor will have, but they will sit in the front passenger seat of a self-driving Model Y. The email outlined

The Newest Marvel/DC Crossover Will Have Some Fun Team-Ups

In May, Marvel Comics and DC finally confirmed they were doing a new crossover for the first time in over 20 years. At the time, we only knew it’d involve Deadpool and Batman teaming up in a pair of one-shots from Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo (Marvel) and Grant Morrison and Dan Mora (DC). Thanks to the latest Marvel solicitations for the month of August, we know the full scope of the crossover on its side of things. Along with the previously announced duo, Marvel/DC: Deadpool & Batman will featur

Best Internet Providers in Chicago, Illinois

What is the best internet provider in Chicago? CNET’s top recommendation for most households in Chicago is AT&T Fiber due to its ultra-fast symmetrical speeds, straightforward pricing and solid availability. If AT&T Fiber isn’t available in your neighborhood, Xfinity, Verizon 5G Home Internet and Rise Broadband are reliable alternatives. The best internet provider for your home depends on your budget and speed needs. To help you decide, our broadband experts reviewed the top options and found

Klarna Now Has a Mobile Phone Service. It's Yet Another New Wireless Option for You

Klarna, the Swedish buy-now-pay-later financial services company, is introducing a mobile phone plan the company says it will promote to its 25 million US customers. Klarna is partnering with Gigs, a San Francisco company that provides mobile virtual network operator services, allowing companies to create their own wireless brands. MVNOs seem suddenly popular: In the last week, the Trump Organization launched Trump Mobile, with its own gold-tinted phone on the way. And the popular SmartLess pod

Cloudflare blocks record 7.3 Tbps DDoS attack against hosting provider

Cloudflare says it mitigated a record-breaking distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack in May 2025 that peaked at 7.3 Tbps, targeting a hosting provider. DDoS attacks flood targets with massive amounts of traffic with the sole aim to overwhelm servers and create service slowdowns, disruptions, or outages. This new attack, which is 12% larger than the previous record, delivered a massive data volume of 37.4 TB in just 45 seconds. This is the equivalent of about 7,500 hours of HD streaming o

Klarna is making an unexpected move into the mobile carrier space

Chase Bernath / Android Authority TL;DR Klarna is joining the mobile carrier market. The company’s mobile service will launch in the US in the coming weeks with one $40 plan. The service will also be available in the UK, Germany, and other markets at a later date. Premium and international plans will roll out later this year. One could say there have been some unexpected additions to the MVNO space this week. On Monday, the Trump Organization announced the launch of T1 Mobile and the T1 Pho

Marvel Just Added a *Fourth* Movie to Its 2028 Plans

Marvel’s been having a pretty quiet time at the box office as of late, as it prepares to head into a new Avengers duology to cap off its latest, up-and-down era in a pretty subdued manner. 2025 may have 3 MCU movies to its name (and a host of TV projects), but after Fantastic Four: First Steps, just four movies will release across 2026 and 2027. But once the dust settles on Secret Wars? Marvel Studios is cranking things back up. Variety reports that Disney has now dated a fourth untitled Marvel

Tesla’s first robotaxi rides will have a ‘safety monitor’ in the passenger seat

is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO. Tesla has begun sending out invitations for its highly anticipated robotaxi service, but there’s one significant caveat: it’s installing a “safety monitor” in the front passenger seat, as previously reported by Electrek. The invites, which were sent to Tesla influencers and investors, say the human monitor will “accompany you on your trip” when ride

Best Internet Providers in Richmond, Virginia

CNET recommends Verizon Fios as the best internet provider in Richmond, Virginia, thanks to its reliable fiber connection, solid speeds and competitive pricing. It’s one of the top fiber internet options nationwide, and it stands out in Richmond for offering consistent performance. Xfinity comes in second, with four plan options including the city’s fastest speeds with its 1,300Mbps tier. If Verizon Fios or Xfinity aren’t available at your address, you might have to opt for Verizon or T-Mobile'

Is Google secretly testing new AI voices in NotebookLM?

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR NotebookLM users are hearing a mysterious third male voice during longer Audio Overviews. Google has confirmed that additional voices and dialects are coming, alongside APIs and video overviews, but it’s unclear if this third voice is a feature or a bug. AI features can be quite a hit and miss, but Google’s NotebookLM is definitely one of the hits. NotebookLM is a personal AI research assistant that lets users control the AI’s data sources, enabling them

Pipelined State Machine Corruption

There are a number of network protocols that we might refer to as text protocols, where we send a line of text to the server and it sends back a response. Perhaps I should call them CRLF protocols, to distinguish from protocols where we’re blasting JSON back and forth. To speed things up, it can be tempting to have the client send multiple requests without waiting for individual responses. This is called pipelining. Support varies by protocol. NNTP requires that servers support it. HTTP 1.1 def

Best Internet Providers in Orlando, Florida

What is the best internet provider in Orlando? Orlando may be home to the most magical place on Earth and a new Epic Universe of attractions, but for those of us who call it home, internet options can be a bit less cheery. CNET recommends Spectrum for being the best internet in Orlando. More so for areas without fiber access, due to the cable giant's broad coverage and relatively affordable internet. Plans in certain parts of Orlando start as low as $25 per month, and Spectrum brings the option

Curved-Crease Sculpture

Curved-Crease Sculpture When folded along curved creases, paper shapes itself into a natural equilibrium form. These equilibria are poorly understood, especially for curved creases. We are exploring what shapes are possible in this genre of self-folding origami, with applications to deployable structures, manufacturing, and self-assembly. This transformation of flat paper into swirling surfaces creates sculpture that feels alive. History of Curved Origami Sculpture There is a surprisingly old

Spotify may finally let you import music without jumping through hoops (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all. If you want to switch to Spotify, this will be the position you’ll find yourself in since it doesn’t offer an im

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot The biggest challenge I faced in developing Little Brats! was the online multiplayer part: synchronizing computers with sometimes consequent latency while maintaining the “fast-paced action game” aspect was far from simple. I'll tell you all about it! Lag compensation, prediction/reconciliation, etc. I'm not going to do a detailed tutorial on these points, as there are tons of them already, but to give you an idea of the principle: when a client computer pe

Best Internet Providers in Brooklyn, New York

What is the best internet provider in Brooklyn? CNET's experts recommend Verizon Fios as the best internet service provider in Brooklyn, New York. The fiber provider offers outstanding customer care and fast, nearly symmetrical speeds. If Verizon Fios isn't available at your address, Optimum and Spectrum are excellent alternatives. If you're looking for the most affordable broadband, Astound Broadband, Spectrum and Starry offer plans starting at $30 per month. Astound offers the best value and

A Game-Changing Telescope Is About to Reveal Its First Images. Here’s How to Watch

A state-of-the-art telescope nearly 25 years in the making will finally reveal its first images on Monday, June 23, and you can watch the event in realtime. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, perched atop a mountain in the Chilean Andes, boasts the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy. The telescope, overseen by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), will use this car-sized, 3.2-gigapixel camera to capture ultra-high-definition images and videos of the

Protect Yourself From Internet Pricing Traps With These Tips

Shopping for home internet can be expensive. Keep in mind the average monthly internet bill in the US is $78. However, there's nothing worse than discovering that your internet bill is increasing year over year. In some cases, your internet bill could even double or triple after a year. You might see an uptick in promotional offers from your internet provider, making it easy to fall into a web of broadband booby traps or, as I like to call them, internet pricing traps. So whether you're just sta
