"As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark. This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure

The Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty. And while the Galaxy S25 might look

Man Unable to Sleep When His AI-Controlled Mattress Suffers an Outage

YouTuber Theo "t3.gg" Browne had a bizarre — and hilariously 21st-century — reason for suffering through a sleepless night. "Woke up because my AI-controlled bed is too cold," the San Francisco-based content creator wrote in a tweet that has since gone viral. Browne owns an intelligent mattress cooling system called Pod3, created by sleep tech company Eight Sleep. It boasts a host of sensors that track biometrics, including heart rate and sleep stages.

Starlink's Residential Lite Plan Can Save You $40 a Month, but There's a Big Catch

Starlink internet service has become a powerful option for frequent travelers and people looking to connect from less-populated areas, but the cost has generally been prohibitive for many customers. To address that gap, the satellite internet service provider recently released a new budget-friendly internet plan called Residential Lite. Residential Lite reduces the monthly cost of Starlink from $120 to $80 in select areas. That's a $40 discount for customers in 30 US states, making it one of th

Why JPEGs still rule the web (2024)

A version of this post originally appeared on Tedium, Ernie Smith’s newsletter, which hunts for the end of the long tail. For roughly three decades, the JPEG has been the World Wide Web’s primary image format. But it wasn’t the one the Web started with. In fact, the first mainstream graphical browser, NCSA Mosaic, didn’t initially support inline JPEG files—just inline GIFs, along with a couple of other formats forgotten to history. However, the JPEG had many advantages over the format it quickl

Alaska Issued Its First Heat Advisory, and Only 2% of Homes Have AC

Alaska got its first-ever heat advisory over the weekend, which is in effect until June 17. Over the last few days, temperatures in central Alaska have reached 86 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 30 Celsius). It's not as if Alaska never gets hot in the summer. However, as Jason Laney, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, Alaska, told CNET, "The frequency with which the heat is coming up is starting to be a bit of a concern." This heat advisory seems pr

Google teases Pixel 10 in latest ‘Best Phones Forever’ ad that pokes fun at iOS 26 [Video]

In its continued “Best Phones Forever” series, Google pokes a bit of fun at how many iOS 26 features are “inspired” by Pixel, while also teasing the Pixel 10. The “Best Phones Forever” series has been going for a while at this point, with Google using the series to point out how iPhone and Pixel co-exist, and occasionally throwing little jabs at the iPhone. Most recently, the “Responding to the Rumors” episode poked fun at a handful of iPhone features that Pixel had first. “Total coincidence.”

King-Size Bed Dimensions: How to Sleep Like a King in Your Own Bedroom

Part of getting the right amount of sleep is having the right mattress. Before you can buy your next bed, you need to know the right mattress size for your room.

Best Air Mattresses of 2025, Tested by CNET Experts

There are a few general things to consider when shopping for the best air mattress. Price Price is the primary criterion for most people searching for the best air mattress. A queen-size bed can cost as little as $30, while the most expensive air mattresses can cost hundreds of dollars. A higher price doesn't always mean a taller air bed, a better air mattress, better air pressure, a self-inflating mattress, a better sleeping surface, more comfort or a decent night's sleep.

US court denies Apple’s request to dismiss antitrust case concerning iCloud

A California district court on Monday denied a request by Apple to throw out a class action lawsuit that alleges the iPhone maker violates competition laws by forcing users of its devices to back up their critical files and device settings on its cloud storage service, iCloud. The complaint also accuses Apple of not allowing third-party cloud services to access certain files, and preventing them from offering a “full-service” storage that competes with iCloud. U.S. District Judge Eumi Lee had

The best antivirus software of 2025

Cyber threats are constantly evolving. While most devices come with built-in antivirus software, these programs may not offer comprehensive protection. A dedicated antivirus program detects threats like phishing, ransomware, trojans, and worms. The service will also alert you when you visit suspicious websites, try to download or execute potentially malicious software, or if malware otherwise finds its way to your system. You can also perform regular scans to remove threats from your system with

What I talk about when I talk about IRs

I have a lot of thoughts about the design of compiler intermediate representations (IRs). In this post I’m going to try and communicate some of those ideas and why I think they are important. The overarching idea is being able to make decisions with only local information. That comes in a couple of different flavors. We’ll assume that we’re compiling a method at a time, instead of a something more trace-like (tracing, tracelets, basic block versioning, etc). Control-flow graphs A function wi

ZX Spectrum graphics magic

Hey friends! (Or just curious readers peeking under the hood of good old retro games). My previous article on calculating angles with integers was well-received. Several people wrote to me, some asked questions, others offered their own algorithm variations, and it turns out there are quite a few ZX Spectrum programming enthusiasts – it’s fascinating, and that’s what all this is for! In my new article, I wanted to talk in detail about drawing lines and other primitives on the Speccy, but I sud
