HBO Max is “way underpriced,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO says

Someone might want to tell David Zaslav to read the room. Despite people’s ongoing frustration with the rising prices of streaming services—and just about everything else—the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) thinks that there is reason for HBO Max to charge more. Zaslav shared his sentiments while speaking at the Goldman Sachs Cornucopia + Technology conference today in San Francisco. The Hollywood Reporter quoted Zaslav as saying: The fact that this is quality—and that’s true across our co

Melania Trump’s AI Era Is Upon Us

Even more so than the first time around, Melania Trump’s tenure as first lady thus far has been more notable for her absence than her presence. But that’s beginning to change. The ever elusive first lady, who has been highly sparing in her public appearances, emerged in recent weeks to highlight the newest addition to her slim policy portfolio: artificial intelligence, for the children. First came a confusing video announcement, which included minimal specifics on her new initiative to help Am

Trump is slowing — but not stopping — US greenhouse gas reductions

She is also the host of Hell or High Water: When Disaster Hits Home , a podcast from Vox Media and Audible Originals. President Donald Trump has cast his shadow over the latest forecast on US greenhouse gas emissions.

NASA Says Its Mars Rover Has Detected Possible Signs of Life on the Red Planet

NASA has announced that its Perseverance Mars rover spotted "potential biosignatures" in an ancient dry riverbed last year. Samples collected from a rock dubbed "Cheyava Falls" contain a structure that hints at the possibility of having a biological origin, according to the space agency, but more research needs to be completed to draw any conclusions about the presence of life on the Red Planet. "The identification of a potential biosignature on the Red Planet is a groundbreaking discovery, an

Android 16 QPR1’s source code is nowhere to be found, but Google swears it’s coming

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has delayed releasing the source code for Android 16 QPR1, worrying custom ROM developers who rely on timely AOSP (Android Open Source Project) updates. While Google typically publishes source code within 48 hours of a new release, it has been a week, breaking a long-standing precedent for the community. Google confirmed the code is coming “in the coming weeks,” but the situation has reignited concerns about the company’s commitment to open-sour

The best battery life iPhone 17 Pro models are not sold in every country

At Apple’s event yesterday, battery life was one of the big marketing points for the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, it turns out that the best battery life models of the Pro and Pro Max are not actually available to buy worldwide. In the United States, Apple quotes 30 hours streaming video playback for iPhone 17 Pro and 35 hours for iPhone 17 Pro Max. But in the UK, Europe, and elsewhere, the tech specs list battery life of 28 hours and 33 hours respectively, two hours less than their US model

Seven iPhone Air details you might’ve missed during yesterday’s keynote

Yesterday, Apple unveiled its brand new ultra-thin iPhone Air. While they did show off much about the phone in the keynote, there are a number of smaller details you can only find by digging into the website. We’ll be rounding those up here. Binned A19 Pro chip Despite the iPhone Air offering the ‘same’ A19 Pro chip as the iPhone 17 Pro, that isn’t quite the case. iPhone 17 Pro’s A19 Pro chip offers a 6 core CPU and 6 core GPU, whereas the iPhone Air offers a 6 core CPU and 5 core GPU.

iPhone 17 has long-awaited fix for OLED screen flickering problem

Have you ever heard of PWM (pulse width modulation)? Even if you haven’t, this screen flickering issue still might impact you. But iPhone 17 looks like it will bring a long-awaited PWM fix. PWM can be disabled on iPhone 17 models I had never heard the term PWM before today, but as I learned by visiting the ‘PWM Sensitive’ subreddit—which has 16k weekly visitors—it’s a fairly widespread issue, and has been for years. Pulse width modulation is a tactic used by smartphones when brightness is red

Apple acknowledges iPhone Camera Control is overly complicated with iOS 26 change

I absolutely love the Camera Control on my iPhone — just not in its default state. With the final version of iOS 26, Apple is taking the first step toward pulling back the overly complex Camera Control with one simple change. Camera Control is a highly requested feature iPhone users have wanted physical camera buttons since at least the iPhone 4 in 2010. That’s why Apple added the ability to use the volume buttons to snap photos in the Camera app way back then. More recently, Apple brought th

Reddit, Yahoo, Medium and more are adopting a new licensing standard to get compensated for AI scraping

With web publishers in crisis, a new open standard lets them set the ground rules for AI scrapers. (Or, at least it will try.) The new Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard creates terms that participants expect AI companies to abide by. Although enforcement is an open question, it can't hurt that some heavy hitters back it. Among others, the list includes Reddit, Yahoo (Engadget's parent company), Medium and People Inc. RSL adds licensing terms to the robots.txt protocol, the simple file that

A closer look at the AirPods Pro 3: ANC, Live Translation and heart-rate tracking

The AirPods Pro 3 are a big upgrade over the AirPods Pro 2. Even though Apple has continuously added new features to those earbuds over the last three years, it hasn’t changed the design or shape of the earbuds since the first model arrived in 2019. With the AirPods Pro 3, you might not notice those tweaks until you remove the new ear tips, and the most impactful upgrades are all on the inside. After my brief hands-on immediately following the iPhone 17 launch yesterday, I’ve since spent more ti

Sony is rolling out a PlayStation parental controls mobile app

Sony is finally catching up to something Nintendo and Microsoft have had for years. The new PlayStation Family app mainly serves as a mobile extension of on-console parental controls. However, parents also get a few extra perks in the mobile version. The app includes a "thoughtfully guided" onboarding process. (I imagine many people will prefer their phone or tablet over the console for that.) Once things are set up, parents can do everything they already could on the console. This includes set

Dotter: Dotfile manager and templater written in Rust

What is Dotter? Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater. Dotfiles are configuration files that usually live in the home directory and start with a dot. Often times, it is desirable to have a backup of all the configurations on your system, which is why a lot of users have their dotfiles saved in a git repository, then symlinking them to their target locations using ln -s . However, there are several issues with that barebones approach: Hard to keep track of what comes from where once you h

The origin story of merge queues

From Bors and Homu to Bulldozer, Kodiak, Mergify, and now GitHub and GitLab, merge queues have shaped how we keep main branches green. This article traces their history, why they emerged, and how they became a standard in modern software development. If you use GitHub or GitLab today, merge queues feel like a built-in feature of modern development. But their story goes back over a decade, long before "merge queue" was a product term. It started with a simple problem: How do you keep your main

‘Traumatika’ Puts a Gruesome Spin on the Idea of Facing Your Demons

The new indie horror film Traumatika opens with a title card informing us of the “five forms of childhood trauma,” unsubtly announcing what’s about to happen over the next 80 minutes. Then we’re in the Egyptian desert, circa 1910, watching an anguished man bury a sinister-looking figurine in the sand. Only then do we arrive in the 21st century, where terrible things are very much afoot. The flashback adds a little bit of context, but it feels unnecessary; a cursed object is a not-uncommon horro

Bronze Age Britons Threw Massive Ragers With Food and Friends From Far Away

You can learn a lot about people by studying their trash, including populations that lived thousands of years ago. In what the team calls the “largest study of its kind,” researchers applied this principle to Britain’s iconic middens, or giant prehistoric trash (excuse me, rubbish) piles. Their analysis revealed that at the end of the Bronze Age (2,300 to 800 BCE), people—and their animals—traveled from far to feast together. “At a time of climatic and economic instability, people in southern

AirPods Pro 3 vs. Pixel Buds Pro 2: Which Wireless Earbuds Are Better?

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are here, and with their arrival comes a lot of questions. One of the big questions after Apple’s annual iPhone event is, “Should I buy new AirPods right now?” But before you can answer that, it’s important to know the competition, and the main one is Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2. While both bear the “Pro” moniker in their names, they’re not created equal, and small differences in features could have a big impact on which pair you ought to buy. If you’re wondering which trigg

Everything Announced at Apple Event 2025: iPhone Air, iPhone 17, AirPods Pro 3 and New Apple Watches

Each September, Apple's product release playbook dials up the unveiling of the company's newest line of iPhones, along with a variety of complementary gadgets. On Tuesday, the company took the wraps off the iPhone 17 in all its variations, most notably the new skinny iPhone Air, along with new Apple Watches -- Series 11 and Ultra 3 -- and an upgrade to its 2-year-old AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. Along with the hardware, Apple is rolling out the new versions of the devices' respective operating system

What Time Is the Next Nintendo Direct?: How to Watch September's Nintendo Direct

Another Nintendo Direct is just around the corner. The gaming giant is heading into the holiday season with the recently released Switch 2, and it will likely show off some of the big games coming out for the console. That could start its celebration of its most iconic mascot. Nintendo says its next Nintendo Direct will take place on Friday, Sept. 12, according to a post on X on Wednesday from the company's account. As is typically the case with these teasers, Nintendo didn't reveal many detail

One of Google’s new Pixel 10 AI features has already been removed

Google is one of the most ardent proponents of generative AI technology, as evidenced by the recent launch of the Pixel 10 series. The phones were announced with more than 20 new AI experiences, according to Google. However, one of them is already being pulled from the company's phones. If you go looking for your Daily Hub, you may be disappointed. Not that disappointed, though, as it has been pulled because it didn't do very much. Many of Google's new AI features only make themselves known in

Senator blasts Microsoft for making default Windows vulnerable to “Kerberoasting”

A prominent US Senator has called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Microsoft for “gross cybersecurity negligence,” citing the company’s continued use of an obsolete and vulnerable form of encryption that Windows uses by default. In a letter to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Sen. Ron Wyden (D–Ore.) said an investigation his office conducted into the 2024 ransomware breach of the health care giant Ascension found that default use of the RC4 encryption cipher was a direct cause.

OpenAI and Oracle reportedly ink historic cloud computing deal

In Brief Oracle sent its shares soaring after markets closed yesterday after reporting that it signed multiple multi-billion-dollar contracts with several customers. Now, we have an idea of who those customers might be. Oracle signed a deal with OpenAI for the AI company to purchase $300 billion worth of compute power over a span of about five years, according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI would start purchasing this compute in 2027. If the WSJ’s reporting is correct, this
