RIP Microsoft Passwords: Here's How to Set Up a Passkey Before the August Deadline

Risky password habits can have big consequences, and some companies are making it easier to stay secure online by ditching decades-old password methods and implementing passkeys instead. Microsoft intends to do the same starting in August. Whether you have an easy-to-guess password or it's leaked in a company data breach, if hackers get hold of it, it can open the door to identity theft and fraud. A recent CNET survey found that 49% of US adults have risky password habits, like using the same p

You probably know at least one person who takes fish oil to boost their omega-3s, which are said to benefit heart, eye and cognitive health. But what exactly are omega-3s? In addition to the potential benefits, it's important to consider side effects and whether omega-3s are right for your body. You should also note that omega-3s are present in many foods you may have in your pantry or fridge right now, so supplements may not be necessary unless your doctor recommends them.

DOJ files to seize $225 million in crypto from scammers

The Department of Justice reported yesterday that it filed a civil complaint to seize roughly $225.3 million in cryptocurrency linked to crypto investment scams.

Scientists Investigating Small Orange Objects Coating Surface of the Moon

The Moon may look gray, but up close it's a whole 'nother story. Left on Bead Over half a century ago, Apollo astronauts encountered something surprising littering the desolate lunar surface: a vast number of tiny orange beads. As Universe Today reports, scientists have long proposed that these beads, each smaller than a grain of sand, date back to over three billion years ago, when volcanic eruptions on the now-inert natural satellite were still commonplace. The theory goes that material la

At TechCrunch All Stage: VC red flags, founder signals, and pre-seed traps — Charles Hudson will tell you what investors really see

At the pre-seed stage, there’s not much for a VC to analyze — no revenue curve, no retention metrics, no CAC. That doesn’t mean they’re guessing. It means they’re watching everything else. At TechCrunch All Stage 2025 on July 15 in Boston, Charles Hudson, managing partner and founder of Precursor Ventures, will walk founders through the subtle, high-stakes signals that matter when data is scarce and the pitch is everything.

Facebook's new passkey support could soon let you ditch your password forever

I Tried Hear.com's At-Home Prescription Hearing Aids Test

Putting aside their exorbitant cost, the trouble with prescription hearing aids is the prescription. Find a doctor. Get an appointment. Sit in a waiting room. Suffer through an hour of testing before getting the hard sell on a pair of hearing aids. Why, the indignity of it all is even worse than going deaf. Telehealth offers a glimmer of a solution, but as everyone who’s tried to show off a concerning mole to a doctor via a smartphone camera knows: Video technology can only get you so far. Audi

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory

The 2009 discovery of footprints (human and animal) left behind in layers of clay and silt at New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparked a contentious debate about when, exactly, human cultures first developed in North America.

But various dating methods indi
