The Curious Case of Flunking My Anthropic Interview (Again) Here's a vague overview of what just happened: I recently applied for Anthropic's Developer Relations role. My friend who works there gave me a glowing recommendation (thanks again, dude!). I completed their secret take-home assignment. On top of their secret take-home assignment, I independently published diggit.dev and a companion blogpost about my [sincerely] positive experiences with Claude.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-25 15:42:13

Earlier this month, EA announced that players in its Battlefield 6 open beta on PC would have to enable Secure Boot in their Windows OS and BIOS settings. That decision proved controversial among players who weren't able to get the finicky low-level security setting working on their machines and others who were unwilling to allow EA's anti-cheat tools to once again have kernel-level access to their systems. Now, Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl is defending that requirement as so

Google is killing a defining feature for Android phones soon - and there's one reason why

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading.

GoPro Needs to Get Its Act Together if These Leaks for DJI’s Tiny Action Camera Are Real

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-26 07:33:17

DJI is taking yet another cue from Insta360. The China-based company recently pulled the curtain on its first 360 camera, the Antigravity A1, but there are more unique cameras to rip off. DJI may also have a “Nano” action camera with a detachable pod, something very close in shape and capabilities to the recent Insta360 Go Ultra. Even if DJI is stuck copying its competitor, at least it’s bringing something new to the world of action cameras, unlike a certain company that rhymes with “Slow no.”
