Adding calendar events with a screenshot is AI at its finest

Apple’s AI capabilities have been less than impressive to date, but there’s one new feature coming with iOS 26 that’s actually really handy: adding stuff to your calendar with a screenshot. I’ve been testing this feature out for the past few weeks in the developer beta, and I’m pleased to report that it works, easily making it my favorite Apple Intelligence feature so far. That’s admittedly a low bar to clear — and it’s not quite as capable as Android’s version — but it’s a nice change of pace

Microsoft asks users to ignore Windows Firewall config errors

Microsoft asked customers this week to disregard incorrect Windows Firewall errors that appear after rebooting their systems following the installation of the June 2025 preview update. These warnings are logged in the Event Viewer as 'Event 2042' for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, with a 'Config Read Failed' warning and a 'More data is available' message. Microsoft added that this known issue is caused by a new feature that's still under development and hasn't yet been fully integrat

SCOTUS upholds part of ACA that makes preventive care fully covered

The US Supreme Court on Friday upheld a key provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to fully cover many preventive health care services recommended by a federal panel. The ruling means that tens of millions of Americans can continue getting a variety of preventive services for free under their plans. Those cost-free services include an array of screenings, such as cancer screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies, as well as screens for obesity, lead exposure in childr

Venice Braces for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding

The lavish wedding between Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his partner Lauren Sanchez is scheduled for June 26-28 in Venice, Italy. For months, however, protests against the event have taken place in the city, intensifying in recent days with the “No Space for Bezos” campaign—which refers to his aerospace investments—over the social and environmental impacts of the wedding, which will occupy much of the historic lagoon center that's already under pressure from high tourist flow.

How a data-processing problem at Lyft became the basis for Eventual

When Eventual founders Sammy Sidhu and Jay Chia were working as software engineers at Lyft’s autonomous vehicle program, they witnessed a brewing data infrastructure problem — one that would only become larger with the rise of AI. Self-driving cars produce a ton of unstructured data from 3D scans and photos to text and audio. There wasn’t a tool for Lyft engineers that could understand and process all of those different types of data at the same time — and all in one place. This left engineers

Scroll snapping, state queries, monster hunter, and gamification

In this (long) part of the customizable select series, it’s all about gamification. In this article, I’d like to highlight one of my demos, where I aimed to recreate a piece of UI found in the Monster Hunter games. To re-create this behavior, I had to think in terms of keyboard navigation first. This demo requires quite a lot of CSS, as well as some scripting, and in the end, I do want to highlight some accessibility concerns. This is an experiment on how far we can take it when styling select e

Hawk Tuah Girl Live Event Devolves Into Chaos After Crypto Disaster

Haliey "Hawk Tuah Girl" Welch recently graced the stage at an influencer convention — and it apparently went about as well as her scammy crypto project. As Mashable reports, the live recording event for Welch's "Talk Tuah" podcast at this year's VidCon convention in Anaheim, California, was likely intended to be part of her post-$HAWK coin redemption tour as she attempts to distance herself from the alleged pump-and-dump scheme she claims to have had no prior knowledge about. Were that the cas

Prime Day 2025: Early Deals Have Already Started, but Could Tariffs Cut Into the Savings?

James Martin/CNET Amazon Prime Day, the mega retailer's summer shopping event, is set for July 8-11 this year -- doubling in size from two to four days.

We May Be a Step Closer to Seeing the Original ‘Star Wars’ Again

Fans can argue day and night about Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy but there’s no denying she pulled an awesome move earlier this week. As previously reported, the British Film Institute had been advertising that it would be screening a very rare print of George Lucas’ Star Wars from its original theatrical run. It’s the version of the film you can basically never see anymore, at least not officially, so Kennedy showed up at the event to change that. “I’m here to make sure you don’t think

Google won’t be showing the Pixel 10 to Superfans this month, after all

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google invited Pixel Superfans to apply for a chance to experience “pre-release Pixel devices” at a June 27 event. The company is now telling them that due to “unforeseen circumstances” it’s planning a September 4 event. It’s unclear if release plans have been affected any, but the last leak we’ve seen points to a mid-August launch. Google’s Pixel 10 smartphones are on their way, and other than feeling a wee bit nervous about Pixel batteries in genera

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office. But both Sunshine and Event Horizon have since e
