In Brief Asahi Group Holdings, the brewery giant that produces the Japanese beer Asahi and other beverages, was hit by a cyberattack Monday that forced the company to stop production in its Japanese factories. The disruption is reportedly still ongoing, but with no timeline for recovery. Asahi Group disclosed the attack in a press release, saying it was experiencing “a system failure” that forced the company to suspend order and shipment operations, as well as its call center operations. “At
Chatbot platforms like ChatGPT and Poe have allowed users to create repeated prompts in the form of GPTs and apps. Lately, browsers like Dia and Opera Neon have added a way for people to get repeated tasks done in the form of skills and cards. Now, meeting notetaker Granola is bringing its own spin with a feature called Recipes, which lets you create a prompt shortcut you can use again and again. You can invoke a recipe by using “/” in Granola chat and typing its name. You can create your own
AYANEO TL;DR AYANEO just extended super early bird pricing on the KONKR Pocket FIT. The $239 starting price will now last until the end of the crowdfunding campaign. The decision may be in response to a popular YouTuber’s criticism of the company’s FOMO pricing. The KONKR Pocket FIT is AYANEO’s first truly affordable flagship Android gaming handheld, and unlike its previous devices, it looks like it will stay that way for a while. This morning the company announced that the super early bird
October Prime Day will be here soon on October 7 and 8, but as to be expected, you can already find some decent sales available now. Amazon always has lead-up sales in the days and weeks before Prime Day, and it’s wise to shop early if you’re on the hunt for something specific and you see that item at a good discount. Prime Day deals are typically reserved for subscribers, but there are always a few that anyone can shop. We expect this year to be no exception, and we’re already starting to se

I need to clear something up about my book, “Products People Actually Want.” When I write about how “anyone can build anything” now, some people assume I’m anti-AI. That I think these tools are ruining design or product development. That’s not it at all. AI tools are incredible leverage. They make me think faster, broader, and help me produce better work. But like any creative partner or colleague, this doesn’t happen out of the gate. I’ve spent hours—days—training my AI on how we write at Sum
A team of scientists has pulled off a microscopic trick worthy of Houdini. In new research out today, they show it’s possible to create functional human egg cells from a person’s skin cells. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University led the study, published Tuesday in Nature Communications. Using a variety of techniques, they successfully fertilized eggs generated from skin cells, which then grew in the lab for several days. Though the findings are only a proof of concept for now, the m
In a controversial step that raises the possibility of a new kind of infertility treatment, scientists report that they have produced functional human eggs in the lab that were able to be fertilized with sperm. The proof-of-concept study, published today in the journal Nature Communications, involves using human skin cells to generate eggs, some of which were capable of producing early-stage embryos. None of the embryos were used to try to establish a pregnancy, and it’s unlikely that they wou
Across the IT industry, certification is on the rise. What was once a “resume boost” has become a requirement for navigating the complexity of hybrid infrastructure, multi-cloud operations, and modern security mandates. As both practitioners and enterprises look for ways to keep pace with change, certification offers a tangible solution to security breaches and an ever-changing technology landscape. Certified staff add measurable financial value to their teams. In the 2024 IT Skills & Salary R

Google's AI Mode in Search will start letting users ask questions and get images as answers, Google said in a blog post on Tuesday.

Would you pay $20 for an AI-powered browser? Opera is betting on it with the release of its $19.90 (per month) "next generation AI browser," Opera Neon, meant for people who use AI every day. The Norwegian company first announced Neon in May and has now launched it to a limited number of users. According to Opera, "it's a browser built to not only let you browse the web, but to also use agentic AI to act for you and with you as you browse and work on complex projects. Opera Neon moves beyond a
For EVs, it’s Zero Hour. When the clock strikes midnight on Oct. 1, the $7,500 federal tax credit on EVs will expire, potentially turning affordable electric carriages into showroom pumpkins. Sales of electric cars are certain to dip. Real-world prices will rise. The only question is how much, and for how long, as President Donald Trump and his administration continue to go scorched-earth over climate change and kneecap support for electric cars and renewable energy. With one eye on the clock,
AI-powered app development is really taking off, and smartphone maker Nothing seems intent on capitalizing on the bandwagon: the company on Monday revealed Playground, an AI tool that lets users create apps with simple text prompts and deploy them to a platform of sorts known as Essential Apps. Currently all Playground lets you build are widgets, like a flight tracker, a next meeting brief, or a virtual pet, from scratch using text prompts, or customize an existing app on the Essential Apps pla
ChatGPT maker OpenAI has released a new evaluation, dubbed GDPval, to measure how well its AIs perform on “economically valuable, real-world tasks across 44 occupations.” “People often speculate about AI’s broader impact on society, but the clearest way to understand its potential is by looking at what models are already capable of doing,” the company wrote in an accompanying blog post. “Evaluations like GDPval help ground conversations about future AI improvements in evidence rather than gues
Permafrost, which lies beneath about 15% of the land in the Northern Hemisphere, is defined as ground that has remained frozen for at least two years. Historically, much of the world’s permafrost has remained solid and stable for far longer, allowing people to build whole towns atop it. But as the planet warms, a process that is happening more rapidly near the poles than at more temperate latitudes, permafrost is thawing and causing a host of infrastructural and environmental problems. Now scie
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google has been spotted working on a blood pressure monitoring feature for the Pixel Watch. The feature appears to be similar to Apple’s approach, passively analyzing data to alert users of potential hypertension risk. The company is gearing up to launch a Fitbit hypertension study to advance research on the upcoming feature. Smartwatch makers have been attempting to integrate blood pressure monitoring technology into their watches for some time now.
You'll now be able to buy some items you're looking for without leaving your ChatGPT conversation. OpenAI has launched a new feature called Instant Checkout, which is powered by Agentic Commerce Protocol, a technology it developed with Stripe.

The Moon is seriously two-faced. The near and far sides of Earth’s only natural satellite are so unlike each other, it’s a wonder they’re located on the same celestial sphere. Now, new research suggests they’re even more different than astronomers thought. A study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Geoscience found evidence to suggest that the interior of the Moon’s mysterious far side may be significantly colder than the near side, which constantly faces Earth. The findings, according to
I'm sure I'm not the only one whose stress levels affect their sleep. But I've noticed that even when I'm doing "all the right things" healthy sleep can feel challenging to understand and maintain. I'm a minimalist at heart so I was looking for an easy way to learn about my sleep patterns without a multistep system or purchasing a product. That's how I found SleepSpace, an AI-powered app that can analyze sleep patterns and provide personalized recommendations via a chatbot, called Dr. Snooze, w
Nothing says it has just taken “the first step towards an AI-native operating system.” Not exactly. Playground, Nothing’s new app store filled with user-designed, AI-generated apps, is neither Nothing’s first step, nor is it an operating system — it’s built on Android. But the idea lands, and beneath the hype, it is genuinely exciting — a glimpse of smartphones that feel more personal and adaptable, with a clear vision for where this might go in the future. The bold proclamation of an AI-native
