Study finds your smartwatch might be way off on one key health stat

Kris Carlon / Android Authority TL;DR Study finds smartwatch stress scores often don’t match how you actually feel. Researchers tracked 800 Garmin users for three months and saw “basically zero” correlation for stress. Sleep tracking was more accurate, but better at logging hours slept than rest quality. They’re meant to be your health sidekick, you might suspect that there’s only so much that a wearable can tell you about your mental state from taking a pulse reading. If this wasn’t already

Anthropic offers its Claude AI model to the federal government for $1

Anthropic has announced it will offer its Claude AI model to all three branches of the US government for $1, following OpenAI offering an almost identical deal last week. These deals both follow the General Services Administration adding OpenAI, Gemini and Anthropic to a list of approved AI vendors for the federal government. Similar to the OpenAI deal, Anthropic will offer access to its commercial-tier service Claude for Enterprise for a period of one year at a cost of just $1. The offer will

Fortnite is coming back to iOS in Australia after legal win against Apple

Epic has spent the last five years fighting Apple's in-app purchase policies. Now, after half a decade, the Epic Games Store and Fortnite will once again be available on iOS in Australia. A judge has found Apple's conduct likely diminished competition, in part for not allowing alternative payment methods, the Australian Financial Review reports. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Epic announced, "An Australian court just found that Apple and Google abuse their control over app distribution and

Verizon wins ad battle: T-Mobile asked to take down deceptive ‘Switch and Save’ ads

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has been asked to remove misleading ads that could lead consumers to believe its plans are much cheaper than the competition’s. T-Mobile disagrees with the ruling, but said it would remove the ads in question. Verizon brought the complaint against T-Mobile’s “Switch and Save” ads, which promise 20% savings compared to “the other big guys.” An advertising watchdog has asked T-Mobile to take down its “Switch and Save” ads, ruling that the price com

Why ‘One Piece’ Fans Are Hyped for Nico Robin’s Netflix Debut

Over the weekend, Netflix unveiled the official season two trailer of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. It’s laden with peeks at where the Straw Hat Pirates’ odyssey will take them on their trek to uncover the pirate king’s hidden treasure—and fans lost their minds at the first look at a fan-favorite character, Miss All Sunday, aka Nico Robin. While it was announced months ago that Nico Robin would be played by Lera Abova (Honey Don’t!) alongside Joe Manganiello as Mr. O (aka Crocodile), fans had yet t

AI Industry Warns That New Lawsuit Could Destroy It Entirely

Last month, a federal judge ruled that potentially millions of writers can join a copyright infringement lawsuit brought against the AI startup Anthropic. The suit, filed by three authors, accused the Claude chatbot maker of using pirated books downloaded from "shadow libraries" such as LibGen to train its large language models. Upping the ante through the roof, US district judge William Alsup said that the trio's suit can represent every single writer of the some seven million books that Anthr

UFC Streaming Moves to Paramount Plus in Multibillion-Dollar Deal

Fight fans might have to rethink their entertainment plans. Paramount has struck a blockbuster deal to become the exclusive US broadcaster of UFC fights, agreeing to pay $7.7 billion over seven years starting in 2026. The deal, with UFC parent company TKO Group, will put all UFC events on Paramount-owned platforms, including Paramount Plus and CBS. That means fans who are used to occasionally forking out for a pay-per-view UFC fight will have to consider a Paramount Plus subscription instead. A

Trump Demands a Cut for Nvidia and AMD’s Access to China

Nvidia and AMD have reportedly agreed to pay the U.S. government a 15% cut of their revenue from their specialized chip sales in China, in a deal so unconventional the business world is still reeling. The arrangement, effectively a new kind of “export tax,” is an unprecedented move that ends a months-long blockade and reopens one of the world’s largest markets for America’s two most valuable chipmakers. The news, first reported by the Financial Times, reveals the original and transactional tac

Washington, DC police put under federal control, National Guard deployed

President Donald Trump on Monday placed the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deployed 800 National Guard troops in the capital city to address what he claimed was out-of-control crime there. It is the first time that a president has federalized the Metropolitan Police Department. Trump's move drew fierce condemnation from local officials, who noted that official statistics show crime in D.C. is on the decline. "I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation'

Trump administration stops illegal freeze of $5B EV charger funds after losing in court

The Trump administration has finally issued new guidance that states can use to dole out $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, after spending months withholding the money. A coalition of states sued over the funding freeze in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was one of the administration’s many attempts to stop funding appropriated by Congress at the start of Donald Trump’s second term. A judge ruled in June that those states were

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Almost Ended With a Movie

Just before the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds kicked off, we learned that the Enterprise‘s journey had set its end date: the show would conclude with a fifth and final season.

Humanity's Past Is a Blur in This '90s Techno-Noir Cult Classic and It's Streaming Free on Tubi

Techno-noir is having a comeback, but cyberpunk vibes have been around for decades. Movies like the Matrix may have popularized the genre, but it's full of underrated gems. Films in the genre combine jaded perspectives, futuristic dystopian settings and dark vibes. One of my overlooked favorites is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against the backdrop of a city swathed in darkness. Released in 1998, this absolute gem preceded The Matrix by a year

Dear String-to-Integer Parsers

These are very useful functions that any language with distinct string and integer types will include in their standard library. Pass in a string with decimal digits and it’ll return the equivalent in the binary integer form that you can do mathematics with. I’d like to make a modest proposal that I’d find very useful, and maybe you, dear reader, would too. “The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate. He made them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.” Who me? Specifically, I’m

Millau Viaduct

Bridges are often considered to belong to the realm of the engineer rather than that of the architect. But the architecture of infrastructure has a powerful impact on the environment and the Millau Viaduct, designed in close collaboration with structural engineers, illustrates how the architect can play an integral role in the design of bridges. It follows the Millennium Bridge over the River Thames in expressing a fascination with the relationship between function, technology and aesthetics in
