Here’s why that embattled retro gaming YouTuber might not be so innocent

TL;DR Embattled retro gaming YouTuber Once Were Nerd left out key incriminating details in his initial video. Earlier videos uploaded to the channel link to blog posts sharing ROM and BIOS downloads. He may have also sold consoles, with ROMs, on the secondhand market via Facebook. Creating emulation-focused content online is risky business, since the entire industry is filled with legal gray areas. Italian YouTuber Once Were Nerd found this out the hard way, with authorities seizing dozens of

The best Apple AirTag accessories for 2025

AirTags can also help you keep track of larger bags and luggage, and you could easily slip one into an interior pocket and call it a day. But if you’d rather hook the tracker to the outside, you’ll need something a bit larger and more flexible than a standard key ring. Belkin’s Secure Holder with Strap is a good option: it comes in different colors and it’s budget friendly at only $13. The case opens up into two pieces, allowing you to sit the AirTag inside the circle and twist and snap the two

Want a Fiber Internet Connection? Read This First

We write a lot about fiber internet at CNET. It's often touted as the "gold standard" of broadband by policymakers, experts and internet users alike. The Fiber Broadband Association estimates that a little over 76 million homes have made the switch to a fiber internet connection, representing a growth of 13% in the past year. If you've ever struggled with slow speeds or outages while using cable, 5G, satellite or (God forbid) DSL internet, you've probably considered switching internet providers

Now, one year later, both CrowdStrike and the industry have undergone significant transformation, with the catalyst being driven by 78 minutes that changed everything. “The first anniv

Google shows off the Pixel 10 less than a month before its launch

As is tradition, Google has already shown off at least one of its new Pixel phones before it's announced. The front page of the Google Store currently features a short video teasing one of the Pixel 10 smartphones the company is announcing on August 20. If you take the webpage literally, then Google's video is showing off the base Pixel 10, which has a similar look to the Pixel 9, with some key differences. Those include a new grayish-blue finish, a tweaked back design that makes the back of th

The special hell of Bolt, Europe's Uber clone

I was in Latvia a few weeks ago. Riga’s one of the Europeans cities without a good transit link from the airport into city. Snooping around online, I found that the recommended way to get a ride was the use of an app called Bolt, a European clone of Uber. I realize now that I didn’t actually check that Uber wasn’t available in Latvia, but I’m not against experimenting with a new app here and there. I used it twice to get to and from the city center, and it worked perfectly. Neither of my driver

Google gets ahead of the leaks and reveals the Pixel 10 early

Google has an event next month to officially launch the Pixel 10 series, but the leaks have been coming fast and furious beforehand. There won't be much left to learn on August 20, particularly now that Google has revealed the phone. Over on the Google Store, there's a video revealing the Pixel 10's design, and it looks just a little familiar. The video (which you can also see below) isn't very long, but it offers an unobscured look at the phone's physical design. The 13-second clip opens with

Dior begins sending data breach notifications to U.S. customers

The House of Dior (Dior) is sending data breach notifications to U.S. customers informing them that a May cybersecurity incident compromised their personal information. Dior is a French luxury fashion house, part of the LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) group, which is the world's largest luxury conglomerate. The Dior brand alone generates an annual revenue of over $12 billion, operating hundreds of boutiques worldwide. The security incident occurred on January 26, 2025, but the company only

UK wants to weasel out of demand for Apple encryption back door

The UK government is reportedly set to back down from its battle with Apple to obtain back door access to secure user data protected by the company’s iCloud encryption. Victory hasn’t come through the courts, or government figures changing their minds on privacy matters, but thanks to ongoing pressure from the US during the two countries’ trade talks. Multiple unnamed UK officials told the Financial Times that the UK government is working on a way out. “The Home Office is basically going to hav

9 Best Coolers WIRED Tested for Every Budget, Any Situation

The first thing to consider when buying a cooler is how you're going to use it. If you aren't heading out for days at a time, you probably don't need an expensive high-end cooler. All the coolers we've recommend above are capable of holding things at a safe temperature for a day, provided you keep them in the shade. Similarly, if you're navigating rugged terrain, you might want beefy wheels—and if you're just going to the beach, you might not need them. Hard-sided coolers: These range from the

Prime Video: 18 of the Best Sci-Fi TV Shows to Watch

Prime Video has a lot to offer, and its library of sci-fi shows is truly impressive.

NOBS Toothpaste Tablets: What Dentists Say About Its Main Ingredient

The NOBS (No Bad Stuff) toothpaste tablets are going viral thanks to their main ingredient of nano-hydroxyapatite, a fluoride-free alternative. As health concerns around fluoride and its presence in public drinking water continue to swirl, nano-hydroxyapatite toothpastes are becoming increasingly popular. You've likely seen them on store shelves or in ads from companies like Boka and Davids, marketed as fluoride-free alternatives for your toothbrush that claim to whiten teeth, repair enamel and

China’s Salt Typhoon Hackers Breached the US National Guard for Nearly a Year

After reporting last week that the “raw” Jeffrey Epstein prison video posted by the FBI was likely modified in at least some ways (though there is no evidence that the footage was deceptively manipulated), WIRED reported on Tuesday that metadata analysis of the video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The United States Department of Homeland Security is facing controversy over DNA samples taken from approximately 133,000 migrant ch

‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Is Delayed Again, but Only for a Bit

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however. Apparently it has more to do with ju

Woman Who Exposed AI CEO's Affair on Jumbotron Responds to Controversy

"Play stupid games… win stupid prizes." Cheat Day After filming those cheating AI executives canoodling at a Coldplay concert in Boston, the woman behind the viral video has little sympathy. In an interview with The Sun, 28-year-old Grace Springer insisted she wasn't trying to cause any trouble when she posted the kiss cam footage of Andy Byron, the CEO of the AI data analytics firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR head. Still, she's not exactly apologetic either. As the youn

Americans Are Paying $78 Monthly for Internet on Average: Here’s What to Do if Your Bill Is Too High.

If you've been with the same internet provider for a while, it probably seems like it gets more expensive by the year. That's not wrong: 63% of adults are paying $195 more on average for internet than they did last year, and high prices are the no. 1 reason people choose not to have a home internet connection at all. I analyzed over 150 plans from the country's biggest internet providers to figure out what the typical cost of internet is in the US, and I found that the median price is $63 per m

Microsoft unceremoniously kills off the Xbox Movies & TV store

You can longer rent or buy TV shows or movies, but you won’t lose any of your purchases. Microsoft has rather abruptly closed down its Movies & TV app, which is accessible on Xbox and Windows PCs via the Microsoft Store. This allowed people to rent or buy movies or TV shows natively through their console or computer’s storefront, but in a newly updated support page Microsoft said the service has ended. "Microsoft no longer offers new entertainment content for purchase, including movies and TV

CoCo1 composite video

When I got the CoCo, one of the big problems was the super-smeary, snowy video on the RF-out. Even though composite video is generated internally by the video circuitry of the computer, Tandy didn’t end up breaking it out to an actual port. Lots of other 8-bit machines of the era are in the same boat. Luckily, adding a composite video port to the CoCo is very straightforward! So straightforward, in fact, that I did it twice. Theory As I said just now, the Motorola 6847 VDG already generates a

Is your Ring camera showing strange logins? Here's what's going on

Maria Diaz/ZDNET If a TikTok trend has you spooked about your Ring camera's security, there's good news -- everything is ,OK and nobody is watching your videos.
