Canon's tiny C50 cinema camera can shoot widescreen and vertical video simultaneously

Canon has announced the EOS C50, its smallest cinema camera yet with features designed to appeal to social media creators and filmmakers alike. It has an RF mirrorless mount and all-new full-frame sensor that supports up to 7K 60p internal RAW recording and 32MP photo capture, making it a do-it-all camera for working pros. Despite the small size and light 1.5 pound weight, the EOS C50 is feature-rich. The full-frame CMOS sensor has a dual ISO system that operates in Canon Log 2 (C-Log 2) at ISO

X Design Notes: Unifying OCaml Modules and Values

In 2020, I released Cubiml, showing how to combine full type inference with structural subtyping in an ML-like language, and earlier this year, I followed it up with PolySubML, extending it with higher rank types and existential types among other features. For my next language (which I’ll call X here, since I haven’t chosen a name yet), I set the ambitious goal of supporting all of OCaml’s most notable functionality on top of everything PolySubML already supports. In this post, I will talk about

Gmail may finally alert you when someone reacts to your Chat messages (Updated: Rolling out)

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Strings in the latest Gmail update hint at some new Google Chat features in testing. Notification summaries in Gmail might work independently of Android 16’s system-wide version, bringing the feature to more devices. Gmail may also offer auto-generated conversation summaries and finally notify you when someone reacts to your Chat messages. Update, September 9, 2025 (06:45 AM ET): Google has announced that real-time push notifications for reactions are n

These Climate Hacks to Save the Poles Could Totally Backfire

Last year, the United Nations predicted that Earth’s average temperature could rise more than 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) by 2100 if we don’t reduce global emissions. That level of warming would cause catastrophic, irreversible damage to ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need to slow the pace of climate change. Still, the amount of greenhouse gases humans pump into the atmosphere continues to rise. Without sufficient progress on the emissions front, some scientists have suggest

These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time, According to AI. Do You Agree?

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but what makes a song stick in our minds is still a mystery. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a

No, the Galaxy S25 FE doesn’t have this key security upgrade

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical-based fingerprint scanner. This comes after unofficial claims that the phone has an ultrasonic scanner. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is faster, more accurate, and works with wet fingers. Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 FE last week, and it brings a couple of notable upgrades. We also heard rumors that the phone would have an upgraded in-display fingerprint sensor, bu

NotebookLM Can Now Make Flashcards and Quizzes to Help You Study

If it wasn't obvious that NotebookLM is shaping up to be the ultimate AI tool for school, it should be now. And Google has more to share for the fall season. On Monday, Google announced its latest NotebookLM features, including the option to generate flashcards, quizzes, new reports and more. Brand-new audio formats for the popular Audio Overviews feature were also released just last week. What sets NotebookLM apart from other AI tools is that it will only rely on the source material you provi

Computing’s Top 30: Nipun Jaswal

To keep his edge, international cybersecurity expert Nipun Jaswal does more than stay up on current security threats and trends; he literally keeps his hands in the game, regularly coding—in up to 10 different languages—and doing lab work including exploring attack vectors and hunkering down with disassemblers and debuggers. Remaining “deeply technical” is not just part of his practice, it’s also fundamental to his leadership philosophy, which centers on staying curious and “close to the core o

Michael Caine May Come Out of Retirement for ‘The Last Witch Hunter 2’

Only for his bestie Vin Diesel will the legendary Michael Caine grace the silver screen again. The 92-year-old actor announced he was retiring a few years ago, but you can’t keep the endeared genre king out of the game for too long. Caine was last seen in The Great Escaper back in 2023. However, with The Last Witch Hunter sequel in the works, Variety reports that Lionsgate has approached the actor to reprise his role as Father Dolan. The production company is pushing the development of the Vin

How RSS beat Microsoft

People like to tell the story of how VHS beat Betamax because adult film studios backed VHS. It’s a clutch-your-pearls story that says nothing about why these multi-million-dollar businesses picked one format over the other. The real story is that while Betamax tapes had better resolution and fidelity, VHS was cheaper, offered longer recordings, and, most importantly, was the more open format. Not many people talk about how or why RSS won the content syndication war because few people are aware

Internet Access in the Middle East Disrupted After Undersea Cables Are Mysteriously Cut

Over the weekend, crucial undersea cables providing internet access to parts of Asia were mysteriously cut, leading to internet outages in certain parts of the Middle East and Asia. The initial news seems to have originated from a Microsoft announcement published on Sunday. The announcement reads, in part: “Starting at 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea.” Gizmodo reached ou

Rabbit Overhauls Its R1 AI Device With a Major Touch-Focused OS Update

The Rabbit R1, a dedicated AI device that received middling reviews last year, just received a major software update overhauling the entire operating system, Rabbit Inc. founder and CEO Jesse Lyu said Monday in a video posted on X. In the video, Lyu acknowledges the R1's shortcomings, saying his team was overwhelmed by the hype and expectations the device received. Since then the R1 has seen 30 updates, but with rabbitOS2 the device's operating system is getting a complete overhaul. RabbitOS2

Nobel laureate David Baltimore dead at 87

Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist and former Caltech president David Baltimore—who found himself at the center of controversial allegations of fraud against a co-author—has died at 87 from cancer complications. He shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology for his work upending the then-consensus that cellular information flowed only in one direction. Baltimore is survived by his wife of 57 years, biologist Alice Huang, as well as a daughter and granddaughter. "David Baltimore's contributi

The Polestar 5 electric sedan makes its world debut

Today, Polestar debuted its newest model. Just as three is followed by four, next in the series comes five—in this case the Polestar 5. And the new EV is a little departure from the products we've seen so far from this Swedish/Chinese startup. It's a handsome if angular sedan that, like the Polestar 4 SUV, eschews a rear window in favor of more headroom for passengers and a rear-view camera. "Polestar 5 is bringing the future to our present. Our vision for Polestar's design, technology, and sus

Cognition AI defies turbulence with a $400M raise at $10.2B valuation

In Brief Cognition AI, the startup behind AI coding agent Devin, has hit a $10.2 billion valuation after raising $400 million, marking a jump from the company’s $4 billion valuation earlier this year, reports Bloomberg. Founders Fund, the Peter Thiel-backed VC, led Cognition’s latest round, with participation from existing investors like Lux Capital, Joe Lonsdale’s 8VC, Elad Gil, Definition Capital and Swish Ventures. In July, Cognition acquired AI coding startup Windsurf, just days after Goo

Benoit Blanc Takes on an Unholy Mystery in ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Trailer

Netflix has released a new trailer for Wake Up Dead Man, the latest chapter in Rian Johnson‘s mystery series starring Benoit Blanc, the world’s greatest detective of ambiguous Southern origin. Have a look: As evidenced by the trailer, the story concerns an “impossible” locked mystery of seemingly supernatural origin, evoking the great works of John Dickson Carr, Seishi Yokomizo, and Hanna-Barbera. This is exciting in itself, as the subgenre has long been considered radioactive in Hollywood for

OpenWrt: A Linux OS targeting embedded devices

The OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it;

Scientists Turned Plastic Trash Into a Material That Eats Carbon

Experts estimate that the global production and disposal of plastics emits nearly 2 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year. The vast majority of these materials end up in landfills, but what if we could repurpose some of that waste to remove planet-warming emissions from the atmosphere? A team of researchers in Denmark has discovered a way to do just that. In a new study, published September 5 in the journal Science Advances, they transformed decomposed #1 plastic—also known as PET (polyethy

These are the 5 best budget camera phones of 2025 that can take great photos while saving you money

We can thank the Google Tensor G4 chipset for making imaging so special in this budget phone. After all, computational photography is what has made the Google Pixel phones so good in mobile photography. The good news is this processing doesn’t change much from phone to phone, as it is all software enhancements. Of course, hardware matters too. The Pixel 9a comes with a 48MP main sensor, which may seem like a downgrade from the Pixel 8a’s 64MP sensor, but photo quality is not always about megapi
