YouTube to use AI to help podcasters promote themselves with clips and Shorts

On Tuesday, YouTube introduced new tools for podcasters at its Made on YouTube live event in New York, including new ways to turn video podcasts into clips and YouTube Shorts, and a new feature that helps create videos for audio-only podcasters. Both will be powered by AI and will roll out in the months ahead. Using AI technology, video podcast creators in the U.S. will be able to create clips more easily with AI suggestions, the company says. This will be available in the “coming months,” whil

YouTube announces new generative AI tools for Shorts creators

At its Made on YouTube live event on Tuesday, the company unveiled new generative AI tools for Shorts creators. YouTube is bringing a custom version of Google’s text-to-video generative AI model, Veo 3, to Shorts, along with a new remixing tool, an “Edit with AI” feature, and more.

Apple Watch Ultra 3: A closer look at its satellite communications tools

The latest generation of smartwatches is looking to the skies to expand their connectivity capabilities. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will be the second mainstream smartwatch (not counting the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro) to support satellite communications, and the new connectivity feature is one of a few changes coming to the device. Other upgrades include the S10 chip, a slightly larger display, bigger battery that lasts up to 42 hours, support for 5G, as well as the hypertension and sleep score features c

Apple Watch Series 11 review: A reliable wearable for when it matters most

The tenth generation of the Apple Watch came and went without much fanfare last year, and the arrival of the Series 11 is similarly subdued. Not much appears to have changed with Apple’s smartwatch, with no redesign to be seen. Still, that isn’t to say the Apple Watch Series 11 is unimpressive or unexciting. It has new health-related features, improved durability, 5G connectivity, support for a wrist-flick gesture and, for the first time in years, the promise of longer battery life. The most no

Our favorite slim MagSafe power bank is down to a new low

We can all be honest and say that carrying around a bulky power bank almost makes it seem like your phone dying isn't so bad. Between the heaviness and any necessary cords, they can just be a pain. So, we were intrigued when Anker debuted a new, very thin power bank this summer: the Anker Nano 5K MagGo Slim power bank. Now, both Anker and Amazon are running sales on it, dropping the price from $55 to $46. The 16 percent discount a new low for the power bank and available in the black and white

Sony and other music labels settle copyright lawsuit against the Internet Archive

In 2023, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and a handful of other music labels filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive over the Great 78 Project, which sought to preserve and digitize 78 rpm shellac records. Now, both parties have announced in a filing that they have reached a settlement and that they're filing to dismiss the lawsuit within 45 days. The plaintiffs said in the filing that they were "writ[ing] to advise this court that they have settled this matter." They didn't

Hydrow’s new Arc rowing machine has a bigger screen and, alas, AI

Hydrow is adding a third model to its lineup of snazzy modern-day rowing machines, and this time it’s bringing along a dollop of AI. The Hydrow Arc sits on the same footprint as its former Pro machine, but gets a bigger, 24-inch touchscreen display. It’s also equipped with what the company is calling “premium sound” and better workout recommendations. But what the company really wants to talk about is its new HydroMetrics Index, using AI to look at your workout and give you a single score at th

When the job search becomes impossible

I have the good fortune to have a job right now, but many of my friends are out of work. Most have been searching for a while. Some are encountering a problem that has my full sympathy, something I’ve experienced myself at various times. I’m not sure I can solve it, but maybe I can help put words to what some are going through. The problem unfolds in three distinct phases as the job search drags on. Phase I: The Obvious but Impossible Search You’ve spent several months sending out scores of c

Just Use HTML

September 10, 2025 Just use HTML I’ve worked on so many projects recently that were more complicated than they needed to be because they used JavaScript to generate HTML. JavaScript is… Slower to load Slower to run More prone to breaking Harder to read and reason about Doesn’t actually look like the final output It’s inferior to just using HTML in nearly every way. I’m not saying never use JavaScript, though. I think JS is great at augmenting and enhancing what’s already there, and addi

Apple Sports App Is Granting Your Wish: Widgets for iPhone, iPad and Mac

The iPhone 17 just made USB-C charging even more of a nightmare

USB-C is an unfixable mess, that I’m convinced of, but a small part of me saw light at the end of the tunnel — that was until Apple launched the iPhone 17 series. With Apple’s latest phones, it’s now even harder for consumers to find the perfect plug to optimally fast-charge all their gadgets at once. Allow me to explain why. The good news, as it were, is that the iPhone 17 series claims “up to 50% charge in 20 minutes” with Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter. That’s still not super fast, bu

Review: Apple Watch Ultra 3 delivers off-grid connectivity as Series 11 extends battery

When Apple Watch arrived in 2015, there was no way to send or receive data without an iPhone or wifi. Now these things can talk to space. It’s wild. Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the first version to include satellite connectivity, a feature introduced with iPhone 14 just three years ago. It comes standard in every Ultra 3 and enables the ability to contact emergency services without a cellular connection. Over the last few days, we’ve been testing Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Series 11. Check

This tool lets you check how much oxygen your red blood cells are carrying from your lungs throughout your body, something many users don't even realize their watch can do. Whether you have the newest version or not, the Apple Watch is packed with health-focused features that often fly under the radar. Beyond tracking ste

Apple Watch Series 11 Review: Finally, the Watch Lives Longer

For years, Apple has tried to extend the battery life of the Apple Watch. For as many years, the company has only succeeded by half measures. Features like Low Power mode or faster charging help you keep the watch on your wrist for longer, but Apple has not significantly improved the watch’s 18-hour battery life—even at last year’s much-hyped decade-versary of the Apple Watch. I say this to give the context of why such a little thing was so shocking. After wearing the new Apple Watch Series 11

Y Combinator-backed Rulebase wants to be the AI coworker for fintech
