Former Intel engineers form AheadComputing to break CPU performance limits with RISC-V design

What just happened? In the heart of Oregon's Silicon Forest, a group of veteran chip architects has traded the security of a tech giant for the high-stakes world of startups, aiming to redefine the future of microprocessors. The founders of AheadComputing, who collectively spent nearly a century at Intel, are now channeling their expertise into building a new class of CPU, one they believe could upend the industry's established order. Rather than building on the legacy of x86, the team is betti

When I share files, I skip right past Quick Share and use this app instead

Andy Walker / Android Authority Sharing files across Android and other devices can be tedious. Although Quick Share has improved slightly since Samsung and Google collaborated, offering a larger feature set than ever, it often feels more cumbersome than convenient. I spend more time connecting to the recipient’s phone than sending the file, which I don’t appreciate. How often do you use Quick Share? 31 votes Daily. 19 % Once or twice a week. 16 % Once a month or less. 45 % I don't use it at al

Solar Orbiter captures images of the sun's pole for the first time

The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is how it was able to capture images that will historically be known as humankind's first-ever views of the sun's pole. All our galaxy's planets and the other spacecraft we've deployed orbit the sun around an imaginary ecliptic plane along the star's equator. But thanks to the Solar Orbiter's Venus flyby

My Mac contacted 63 different Apple owned domains in an hour, while not is use

During a one hour period today, my computer contacted 63 different Apple domains while i was not logged on and using it. I have been trying to minimize to the extent possible the reach of big tech into my life. A full 25% of the DNS queries from one of my computers (M2 MBA with macOS 15.4) are to Apple owned domains - even though my DNS provider (NextDNS) blocks Apple's native telemetry. Additionally, since I do not use Apple for my mail, contacts, calendars, podcasts or news, I already have th

Amazon Is Clearing Out Fire TV Sticks, Prices Crash to a Level That’s Simply Too Good to Miss

Amazon is running one of its biggest Fire TV stick sales of the year and the record-low prices are mind-blowing. This flash sale is open to everyone so it’s a great time if you’re looking to upgrade their home entertainment system. With prices comparable to the best of Black Friday and Prime Day, the only problem is how long these prices will remain in effect before supplies are exhausted. As the center of Amazon’s streaming device lineup, the Fire TV Stick 4K is the top-selling model and headl

Inexpensive AI Agents Threaten Entry-Level Coding Jobs

In 2007, Luke Arrigoni, an AI entrepreneur, earned $63,000 at his first job as a junior software developer. Today, he says AI tools that write better code than he did back then cost just $120 annually. The numbers don’t sit right with him. Arrigoni, who runs Loti AI, a company that helps Hollywood stars find unauthorized deepfakes, worries that underpriced AI tools encourage companies to eliminate entry-level roles. He wants to flip the incentive structure so people’s careers don’t end before t

A ton of Google Home upgrades flew under the radar amidst the Android 16, iOS 26 chaos

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google has announced a slew of features and improvements coming to Google Home. These additions include new types of Favorite tiles, easier automations, and a more powerful web version. Google TV Streamer owners can also use picture-in-picture support to keep an eye on the camera feed while watching TV. Google announced a handy addition to Google Home earlier this week, allowing users to set different Favorites on each device. However, it turns out t

Craig Federighi explains why it took so long to make the iPad more Mac-like

iPadOS 26 arguably brings the biggest update to the iPad ever seen, turning it into something much more Mac-like in both UI and capabilities. But since iPads have been using the same chips as Macs since 2021, why did it take so long? That’s the question Apple’s software head Craig Federighi sets out to answer in a new interview … iPadOS 26 is so ground-breaking that I argued Apple has finally turned the device into something worthy of the term ‘computer.’ The biggest change by far is proper w

Windows 11 24H2 emergency update fixes Easy Anti-Cheat BSOD issue

Drawing on Tradition: Elena Izcue's Peruvian Art in the School

Though Izcue largely frames El arte peruano as classroom material for primary school students, contemporary commentators emphasized another equally important use for the books: revitalizing domestic craft production by grafting it to a non-European fount of influence. The second volume provides suggestions for what kinds of objects — from book covers to curtains — might be most suited to each motif and even includes visual aids for how the figures might be flipped and tessellated. The adaptation

Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades, New Report

UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

Danish Ministry Replaces Windows and Microsoft Office with Linux and LibreOffice

The Danish Ministry of Digitization is to completely abandon Microsoft in the coming months and use Linux instead of Windows and switch from Office 365 to LibreOffice. Minister Caroline Stage (Moderaterne) announced this in an interview with the daily newspaper Politiken. It comes just a few days after the country's two largest municipalities initiated similar steps. This summer, half of the ministry's employees will be equipped with Linux and LibreOffice. If everything goes as expected, the ent

Agentic Coding Recommendations

Agentic Coding Recommendations There is currently an explosion of people sharing their experiences with agentic coding. After my last two posts on the topic, I received quite a few questions about my own practices. So, here goes nothing. Preface For all intents and purposes, here's what I do: I predominently use Claude Code with the cheaper Max subscription for $100 a month . That works well for several reasons: I exclusively use the cheaper Sonnet model. It's perfectly adequate for my needs,

A receipt printer cured my procrastination [ADHD]

Why can I focus for hours on a game but procrastinate when writing an email? For over 20 years, I've tried everything to boost my productivity. I've read dozens of books and tested many methods. Nothing made a real difference. But I finally found a solution by understanding what makes video games addictive. And a thermal receipt printer will become the best investment of my life. My fight against procrastination I started my business when I was 21 (I'm now 39). I built custom apps and did cons

AOSP isn’t dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release. The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral. While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficu

After three days with iOS 26, I’m amazed by Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign, but I have concerns

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The biggest buzz at WWDC 2025 was around Apple’s spanking new Liquid Glass interface. From a unified year-based naming scheme for its platforms to what might be the most extensive visual overhaul to iOS in years, iOS 26 marks a significant shift in Apple’s software approach. But is there substance beneath the divisive shiny sheen? I dove into the developer betas to give it a try. Let me preface this by saying this first beta is very buggy, and I wouldn’t recomm

OpenAI will reportedly start using Google's cloud servers

This is another move by the company to diversify its compute portfolio beyond Microsoft Azure. OpenAI has inked a deal with Google to begin using the latter's cloud service to meet its growing needs for increased computing capacity, according to a report by Reuters . This is something of a surprise, given that Google and OpenAI are rivals in the AI space. The terms of the deal remain unknown, but reporting indicates it has been in the negotiation phase for the past several months. This marks O

Microsoft Office migration from Source Depot to Git

After going in deep in product, I found myself drawn to a different challenge: making other developers more productive. As one of my biggest mentors would always say: “Developer productivity is always ‘Multiplier work’, especially in places where you have a lot of developers. By saving a couple minutes from every developer, every day, you’ve saved years of human life waiting for stuff.” The project that really forged me was the Office migration from Source Depot to Git. Source Depot: A Journey

YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content

Why it matters: Don't be surprised to see more controversial videos on YouTube. Much like Meta, the platform has relaxed its moderation policies, allowing content that violates the usual rules if it is deemed to be in the "public interest." The Google-owned site has provided moderators with new guidelines and training on how to deal with inflammatory content that breaks YouTube's code of conduct, writes The New York Times. Reviewers have been told not to remove anything considered to be in the
