Best Indoor Security Cameras for 2025: Tested in Our Own Homes

Google's AI detection remains top-notch. Google/Amazon Field of view Look for views that match the unique needs of your space and where you plan on placing the camera. Most high-quality indoor cameras have around a 130-degree field of view — and some of our picks go beyond that — but you don’t need to break out a protractor.

Where’s your new Google Photos editor? Google shares updated timetable

Jada Jones/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Dyson OnTrac headphones Impressive sound, adequate noise-canceling, and innovative design choices define the OnTrac headphones. Dyson could spend more time refining these headphones' physical controls, as they can be finicky and unreliable. The Dyson OnTrac headphones are on sale for $300 (save $200) during Amazon Prime Day. Who says the same company that made your vacuum cleaner and hairdryer can't make your headphones? I'm unsure if anyone has

Supabase MCP leaks your entire SQL Database, a lethal trifecta attack

Supabase MCP can leak your entire SQL database (via) Here's yet another example of a lethal trifecta attack, where an LLM system combines access to private data, exposure to potentially malicious instructions and a mechanism to communicate data back out to an attacker.

The Movie Everyone Thought Would Be ‘Dune Messiah’ Is Now Officially ‘Dune: Part 3’

Though there’s still no official release date, Dune fans have long assumed director Denis Villeneuve is readying production on the third film in the sci-fi series. Some casting news a few weeks back helped strengthen that notion—and now we have a title locked in. Surprisingly, it’s not Dune Messiah, in keeping with Frank Herbert’s source-material novel. It’s… drum roll… Dune: Part Three. According to Variety, Dune: Part Three is still expected to release in December 2026, the slot previously re

‘Edge of Eternities’ Will Take ‘Magic: The Gathering’ to the Stars

A certain Star franchise may have boldly declared space the final frontier, but for Magic: The Gathering, it’s only the beginning. After the huge risk (and ultimate success) of its Final Fantasy set last month, the venerable card game is leaping into another big risk, although this time devoid of any flashy crossover: its next set, Edge of Eternities, will mark Magic‘s first proper foray into full-on science fiction. The series has flirted with sci-fi concepts across its fantastical settings fo

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look. The fact is, space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one. A growing body of evidence suggests that our entire Milky Way galaxy is locate

Short Sellers Are Making a Fortune as Tesla's Stock Collapses

They're making billions -- and Musk can't stop dragging the brand through the mud.

Seagate Compact 1TB Portable SSD Hits an All-Time Low, 260K+ Reviewers Might Envy This Prime Day Price

Cybersecurity’s Unsung Heroes: Elevating Neurodiverse Talent in the Digital Age

They aren’t your average hires. They don’t glide through job interviews or thrive in open-plan offices. But when it comes to pattern recognition, threat modeling, or zero-day hunting, neurodiverse individuals often outperform their peers. And yet, they remain largely untapped in the cybersecurity workforce. If we’re serious about fortifying digital defense systems, it’s time we stop overlooking the neurodiverse minds that already think in ways most cybersecurity frameworks are only beginning to

An Unknown Entity Has Voice Cloned the Secretary of State and Is Calling High Level Officials

In a perfect example of why it's an absolutely terrible idea for high-level government officials to use personal cell phones, text messaging platforms, and apps like Signal, secretary of state Marco Rubio has fallen victim to a scammer who's been using AI to clone his voice and writing style. As the Washington Post reports, a July 3 State Department cable revealed that an impostor posing as Rubio had "contacted at least five non-Department individuals, including three foreign ministers, a US go

Don't Miss This Iconic Conspiracy Thriller That's Now Streaming on Netflix

We may be past the era of Peak TV, but it's always fun to look back at the plethora of shows that hit television, propelled unknown actors to superstardom, and dominated the conversation. There are so many good ones, with obvious examples like Lost, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. When Vince Gilligan's hit drug drama came to an end in 2013, I was left wondering what series would capture the cultural zeitgeist next. I never thought it would be a show about the internet, of all things, but it w
