As a Pixel Watch fan, here are the 3 reasons I’m excited about the Pixel Watch 4

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been a Google Pixel Watch user and fan since the original launched in 2022. I wore it every day — except when I was charging it — and then upgraded to the Pixel Watch 2 and later to the 45mm Pixel Watch 3. In the last three years, you could hardly see me without Google’s smartwatch strapped to my wrist, and for good reason. I love the Fitbit integration and the fact that I can keep my existing fitness data rolling without wearing a standalone tracker. The

The Best Whitening Toothpaste of 2025, According to Dentists

Why we like it: Colgate Optic White Pro Series toothpaste is one whitening toothpaste that Dr. Fatima Khan, a dentist in Houston, Texas, recommends. Some of her reasons for recommending it include its trusted brand name and its 5% hydrogen peroxide whitening agent. Unlike other whitening agents that work by removing stains on the surface of the tooth, hydrogen peroxide can get inside the tooth so it whitens intrinsically as well as extrinsically. Sachar also recommends this toothpaste, saying,

Apple’s AI Ambitions Leave Big Questions Over Its Climate Goals

Here’s a simple question: Is the current top iPhone better for the environment than the top iPhone was five years ago? Let’s take the iPhone Pro series. If we’re looking at recycled and renewable materials, it’s an easy yes. Compare the iPhone 11 Pro, released in September 2019, with the iPhone 16 Pro, released in September 2024, and there has been good progress—from a few smaller components and packaging to now at more than 25 percent of the whole phone. There's work to do, of course, but that

The Rise of the US Military’s Clandestine Foreign War Apparatus

The 2020s are shaping up to be one of the most violent decades in modern history, with American-sponsored proxy conflicts and shadow wars smoldering all over the world, from Ukraine to Yemen to Gaza. The United States enables and prolongs these wars not by sending troops to fight in them, but by trafficking arms to the belligerents, providing intelligence to its favored proxies, and using covert operations, especially assassinations, to shape geopolitical conditions. At the forefront of these cl

What does it mean to be thirsty?

Because these brain areas are difficult to study — due not only to their location, but also to their composition, with many different cell types and crisscrossed circuitry — it’s only in the last decade or so that neuroscientists have begun to understand how thirst fundamentally works. The body, researchers have found, is filled with sensors that feed clues to the brain about how much water or salt an organism needs to consume. How those sensors work, or what they even are, continues to elude sc

High-severity WinRAR 0-day exploited for weeks by 2 groups

A high-severity zero-day in the widely used WinRAR file compressor is under active exploitation by two Russian cybercrime groups. The attacks backdoor computers that open malicious archives attached to phishing messages, some of which are personalized.

By July 24, ESET determined that the behavior was linked to the exploitation of an unknown vulnerability

Show HN: I built an offline, open‑source desktop Pixel Art Editor in Python

Tilf — Pixel Art Editor Tilf (Tiny Elf) is a simple yet powerful pixel art editor built with PySide6. It’s designed for creating sprites, icons, and small 2D assets with essential tools, live preview, undo/redo, and export options.

Why ‘One Piece’ Fans Are Hyped for Nico Robin’s Netflix Debut

Over the weekend, Netflix unveiled the official season two trailer of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. It’s laden with peeks at where the Straw Hat Pirates’ odyssey will take them on their trek to uncover the pirate king’s hidden treasure—and fans lost their minds at the first look at a fan-favorite character, Miss All Sunday, aka Nico Robin. While it was announced months ago that Nico Robin would be played by Lera Abova (Honey Don’t!) alongside Joe Manganiello as Mr. O (aka Crocodile), fans had yet t

AI Industry Warns That New Lawsuit Could Destroy It Entirely

Last month, a federal judge ruled that potentially millions of writers can join a copyright infringement lawsuit brought against the AI startup Anthropic. The suit, filed by three authors, accused the Claude chatbot maker of using pirated books downloaded from "shadow libraries" such as LibGen to train its large language models. Upping the ante through the roof, US district judge William Alsup said that the trio's suit can represent every single writer of the some seven million books that Anthr

RFK Jr. posted fishing pics as CDC reeled from shooting linked to vaccine disinfo

Staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta are reeling from a deadly shooting that unfolded Friday evening.

Claude can now reference past chats, if you want it to

Claude is getting a better, if selective, memory. Rather than acting as perfect catalog of everything you've talked about or shared, Anthropic says the AI chatbot now has the ability to reference past chats when asked, so you don't have to re-explain yourself. The feature seems like it could help you pick up a work project after time away, or query Claude for the details of a past research session that you don't quite remember. The key point is that Claude has to be prompted: It doesn't call on
