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

Tiny portable thumb drives are a great way to move important files, but they usually have one or both of two unfortunate shortcomings — they’re either fragile, small in capacity, or both. Not surprisingly, a USB-C thumb drive that conquers both of those issues comes from Seagate — the remarkable Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD, which is just $80 right now in Amazon Prime Day Deal list. The Seagate Ultra Compact packs a full terabyte of storage into a tiny 2.78-inch body, and it’s also IP54 dust

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

Gemini’s new rainbow-colored overlay box is rolling out to beta testers

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s in the middle of freshening up Gemini’s look with new rainbow colors and some updates to the on-screen overlay. After the app icon got new colors last week, they’re now starting to hit the overlay in beta. We’re still waiting on the overlay’s new shape and on-screen animation to arrive. Pride might have been last month, but don’t tell Gemini, because Google’s AI agent is currently smack-dab right in the middle of a rainbow-fueled makeover. Aft

This browser-based Apple Lisa simulator takes you back to 1983

Before the original Macintosh made history in 1984, there was the 1983 Apple Lisa, one of the first commercial personal computers to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) rather than a command-line prompt.

Rivian’s new Quad-Motor R1T and R1S beat the competition in any conditions

Rivian provided flights from Albany, New York, to Reno, Nevada, and accommodation so Ars could drive the quad-motor R1s. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. It's getting harder to find hyperboles to describe the performance of modern EVs. Horsepower figures measured in four digits and acceleration figures clocking in well under three seconds aren't exactly de rigueur, but they're well short of rare these days. Rivian's latest generation ticks those boxes, joining the automaker's range

This follows the host cities of Paris, France, and Seoul, South Korea, over the past two years -- with the company suggesting that it's chosen Brooklyn for its "bold ideas, creativity, and culture."

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th

My Android Auto was having trouble connecting until I did this one thing

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A few months ago, I bought into the Jeep cult. One bit of fanciness with this vehicle is its ability to connect to Android Auto. I was excited because I'd never owned a car that could connect to my Android phone and actually make use of it. Of course, the biggest reason I wanted to use Android Auto was for the Spotify connection. My previous auto would allow me to connect my phone, but I had to control the music from the phone itself, which I wouldn't do w

KEF Xio Review: So Good, So Expensive

There’s a level of confidence you have to admire in a brand entering a new market and out-pricing almost every single one of its competitors, straight from the off. That certainly appears to be KEF’s strategy with its very first soundbar, the KEF Xio—an all-in-one Atmos soundbar that will set you back a cool $2,500 (£2,000.) Of course, there’s the obvious: that’s enough to buy yourself a pretty decent surround sound package, with a performance that any soundbar will struggle to match. But if yo

macOS Tahoe: Reports of FireWire’s death not greatly exaggerated

How dead is FireWire support in macOS Tahoe 26? As dead as the iPod, as far as the Mac is concerned, which is at least a little sad. Stephen Hackett checked. In classic 512 Pixels fashion, he’s conjured together a real world demonstration using a battle-tested FireWire 800 cable-connected drive, two Thunderbolt adapters including a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 dongle, and a Mac. Woof. The result? A drive that correctly appeared as several volumes on macOS Sequoia just looks like an adapter to nowhere on
