Building untrusted container images safely at scale

Many SaaS platforms need to run customer code securely and fast. Rather than building container infrastructure from scratch, you can use Depot's API to handle the heavy lifting. Here's how to build Go tooling that creates isolated projects, manages builds, and tracks metrics for your customer workloads. A lot of our customers run into the same problem: they need to run code on behalf of their customers. Whether you're hosting user-generated Python scripts, processing custom containers, or runni

Touching the back wall of the Apple store

Touching the back wall of the Apple store 23 Jun, 2025 Here's a dumb story. When I was in high school, my friends and I had a game we used to play at the mall: we would go into the Apple store and try to make it to the back wall of the store, touch it, and exit out the front without an Apple staff person talking to us. We were fascinated with the Apple store in the mall because it was essentially an interactive luxury goods store where they'd let you actually grasp all the luxury goods with y

The F1 movie is a cinema smash hit, on track to outperform combined box office of all previous Apple originals films

Whatever you think about Apple’s in-your-face advertising tactics, it seems to be paying off. The F1 movie is set to take in about $145 million in its opening weekend at the box office, with $55.6 million domestic. This easily outstrips any of Apple Original Film’s prior theatrical debuts, and sets the movie on a path to exceed the gross box office of all previous Apple films … combined. Apple releases almost all of its original films in small scale showings for some easy press attention and t

Kuo: Apple working on 7 head-mounted products, roadmap starts in 2025

In a blog post today, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo detailed his updated roadmap forecast for Apple’s headset and smart glasses markets. According to him, the company has at least seven head-worn devices in development across two product families, one coming in 2025. According to Kuo: Apple views head-mounted devices as the next major trend in consumer electronics. The company currently has at least seven projects in development, comprising three Vision series products and four smart glasses variants.

Couples Retreat for Humans Dating AIs Becomes Skin-Crawlingly Uncomfortable

A well-intentioned writer decided to get a group of humans and their AI companions together for a cabin retreat. Somehow, it went worse than anyone could have imagined. As Johns Hopkins science writer Sam Apple described in a new essay for Wired, the apps that each human participant used to communicate with their AI companions varied — but the intensity, obsession, and affection they felt for their digital paramours seemed very real, albeit sometimes tortured. The weekend getaway started, as A

These are the 5 weather apps I recommend, but one of them stands out from the rest

Ryan Haines / Android Authority It’s safe to say that more or less every Android user has a weather app installed on their phone. I certainly do, and I use it daily to check the weather, not only for today but for the rest of the week as well — it’s part of my morning routine. In my search for the perfect weather app, I tried countless options and can tell you there are significant differences between them. Some were loaded with ads and pop-ups, while others were poorly designed. Then there we

Apple still has some unannounced iOS 26 features in the pipeline: report

According to the Power On newsletter from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple still has a few more iOS 26 features in the pipeline. These features weren’t announced at WWDC, though they were heavily rumored, and they should still arrive in the coming months. The two unannounced features are live translation via AirPods, as well as syncing captive Wi-Fi connections across your entire Apple ecosystem. The former feature would’ve allowed you to have live conversations with someone else in a different l

More on Apple's Trust-Eroding 'F1 the Movie' Wallet Ad

More on Apple’s Trust-Eroding ‘F1 The Movie’ Wallet Ad This is a funny gag from Claude Zeins, but if you think about it, it shows just how destructive Apple’s decision was to send a push notification from the Wallet app promoting F1 The Movie. It’s a fact that no company can inject an ad into your physical wallet. It just can’t happen. So if Apple’s message to users is that they should trust Apple Wallet, and move more of their “shit that goes in your wallet” life from their traditional analog

The 2025 MacBook Air Now Costs as Much as a Budget Laptop, Amazon Clears Out Stock Before Prime Day

Amazon has released its first early Prime Day deals at the weekend, and the plus point is that they are available to everyone, not just Prime members. Among the highest demand picks is the 2025 13-inch MacBook Air which is already the year’s top bestseller. With a whopping 4.8 out of 5 star rating from nearly a thousand reviews, people have fallen in love with this model. What’s even more surprising is that it’s already at its all-time lowest price: only $849 instead of the usual $999 for the 2

Trump Says “Very Wealthy People” Are Ready to Buy TikTok

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban. The legislation stems from bipartisan concern in Washington that the Chinese government could access the data of American users or use the app

Snap & Grab Is an '80s Glam Heist Game That's 'Hitman' meets Pokémon Snap

At Summer Game Fest, I tried out one of the more stylish, relaxing games that made me wish I had pals on the couch to play with. But instead of a co-op adventure, Snap & Grab, as it's called, is a heist title where players take on the role of a fashionista photojournalist who steals gaudy treasures from rich doofuses to fill her penthouse. Snap & Grab is the debut title for studio No Goblin, which held its demo in publisher Annapurna Interactive's closed-door area at the annual gaming festival.

Ars reflects on Apollo 13 turning 30

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Oscar-winning film, Apollo 13, director Ron Howard's masterful love letter to NASA's Apollo program in general and the eponymous space mission in particular. So we're taking the opportunity to revisit this riveting homage to American science, ingenuity, and daring. (Spoilers below.) Apollo 13 is a fictional retelling of the aborted 1970 lunar mission that became a "successful failure" for NASA because all three astronauts made it back to Earth a

10 Best Dash Kitchen Appliances (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Dash is the mini-me of the kitchen world, best known for its impossibly low-cost Mini Waffle Maker ($13) and wee egg cookers. The best Dash kitchen appliances are ingenious about packing surprising functionality into a tiny package—saving both counter space and cash in your bank account. This has, of course, made Dash a viral fixture on TikTok, with scads of recipes for mini-waffles and keto-friendly chaffles. Former WIRED reviewer Brenda Stolyar found Dash to be a godsend for tiny New York apa

With ‘F1’, Apple finally has a theatrical hit

Looks like Apple has its first bona fide box office hit. The company has already produced critically-acclaimed and award-winning films for Apple TV+. In fact, while Netflix has reportedly spent millions on its Oscar campaigns, Apple’s “Coda” remains the only movie produced by a streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It has, however, been a different story at the box office — at best, returns have fallen short of ambitious budgets, and with “Argylle,” the company had a spe

Trump says he’s found a buyer for TikTok

In Brief A group of “very wealthy people” is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump. “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. “I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.” Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time). Trump has repeatedly

Vapes Clouds Contain Absolutely Horrifying Chemicals, Scientists Find

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments If you vape — and especially if it's because you think it's a less harmful alternative to smoking — then we have some really bad news. New research from the University of California, Davis, shows that some popular disposable vapes contain levels of toxic metals so appalling that they exceed traditional cigarettes. And we don't just mean a single cig — we're talking packs of them. The work, published as a study in the journal ACS Central Science, sounds t

This stuff is way better than super glue (and it's less messy)

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Whether due to being dropped, misused, or aged, broken plastics are a fact of life these days. My weapon of choice in the war against waste and sending things to the landfill has been cyanoacrylate adhesive -- this stuff goes by many names, such as Krazy Glue, instant glue, power glue, or superglue -- and on the whole, it's very good stuff. But it's far from perfect. Also: The $8 accessory you're not using enough for screen repairs and fi

If You Own an iPhone, Amazon Is Offering a Free AirTag Just Before Prime Day

Apple doesn’t often discount products, and AirTags have never been on sale from the Apple website or in Apple stores. Amazon, however, occasionally surprises us with exclusive pricing on these useful Bluetooth trackers. For the best value, a pack of AirTags is nearly always a better buy than a single one. Amazon is also running a great deal just in time for Prime Day: purchase three AirTags and receive a fourth free. That drops the price of four AirTags to just $74, down from the regular $99 ($

iPhone 17 Pro may reposition the Apple logo once again, says leaker

According to Apple leaker Majin Bu, Apple will once again be repositioning the Apple logo on the next iPhone. Apple last repositioned the Apple logo with the iPhone 11 lineup, and it’s remained centered on the iPhone ever since. Six years later, that may be changing once again – if this rumor holds up. Majin Bu has a spotty track record with Apple rumors, though they have shared a number of accurate tidbits in the past, including the ‘Desert Titanium’ marketing name for the new iPhone 16 Pro co

Solving `Passport Application` with Haskell

There's a trend at the moment of solving online games with programming, let's do one from the UK called Passport Application, which is developed by "His Majesty's Passport Office" or HMPO. It's a cultural phenomenon in the UK: despite being quite expensive (about £100 just to start) for the standard online version (a masterpiece of minimalist design, entirely text-based), most British play the game, and do so every 10 years or so. It's an adventure puzzle document collection game. The premise i

However much you have to deposit, a CD can help you grow your money reliably.
