After rumors earlier in 2025, iPad users finally saw the Instagram app arrive on their devices on Wednesday, appearing in the App Store after 15 years of avoiding the iPad. Since its original release, Instagram has never been available as a download for Apple's larger screen. While it's not certain why Instagram took so long to appear on the iPad, we've tested out the app and found it ready to download and fully functional. However, Instagram has made a few changes that indicate its latest prio

The post broke Instagram's record for reposts (though to be fair, reposting just started on Instagram in August). Still, the post hit 1 million reposts in less than 6 hours and earned 14 million likes in the first hour. By Wednesday this week, it had topped 36 million likes, vault

Leaked Gaza Plans Show Trump May ‘Relocate’ Palestinians to Build ‘AI-Powered Smart Cities’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-19 13:50:23

For the past two years, the U.S. has been supplying tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid to Israel so that it can bomb the living crap out of the civilian population in Gaza. Now, as multiple human rights organizations accuse Israel of committing genocide in the region, America’s billionaire developer president seems to think it’s time to spin the bloodshed into real estate gold. The Washington Post has managed to get its hands on a 38-page prospectus that outlines an alleged U.S.

Will Smith Posts Bizarre New AI-Generated Concert Video

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-21 04:42:59

Last week, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Will Smith — himself the victim of a gross AI meme about slurping spaghetti — showed the world that he's not so fresh anymore when his team used AI to add rapturous fans to concert footage of his "Based on a True Story" comeback tour. Online observers quickly noticed that the AI had gone haywire, adding demonic-looking fans with garbled signs praising the 56-year-old rapper-actor that stood in clear contrast to the wilted-looking crowd visible in actual

UK age check law seems to be hurting sites that comply, helping those that don’t

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-10-24 09:05:15

In Brief The United Kingdom recently started enforcing the Online Safety Act’s age-check rules, and The Washington Post reports that it’s already having a significant effect on web traffic. U.K. law now requires pornography websites to verify their users’ ages through means such as face scans and driver’s licenses; it also requires that online platforms prevent children from being exposed to adult content (which is why sites like Bluesky and Reddit have begun checking some users’ ages).

Sometimes Software Is Done, or Why Hugo Why

I didn’t sit down this morning planning to write a grouchy blog post about Hugo. When I first used Hugo I loved it. It was fast. It was simple. It just worked, as much as any software does, and it solved a real problem. It was done. But people kept working on it. I’m sure that it has been improved in countless ways. But along the way it has gotten bigger and more complicated, and has broken backwards compatibility repeatedly. I am only inspired to write a blog post every few months. It take

Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the recent Tomb Raider games, announced an unspecified number of layoffs today. In a post on LinkedIn, the game developer kept the size of the cuts vague, only stating that "a number of our talented colleagues" would be impacted. In what's becoming an all-too-familiar refrain, the company cited "evolving business conditions" as the reason for the layoffs. "This decision was not made lightly," the post reads.

OpenAI Warns Against Investing in Its Stock

OpenAI isn't a publicly-traded company — yet, at least — and as such, the company's express written consent is necessary for the sale or transfer of its equity. But that massive caveat has not, apparently, stopped sleazy operators from trying to rip would-be investors off with shady promises of buying into the red-hot artificial intelligence giant.

Interruptions cost 23 minutes 15 seconds, right? 2023-11-05 You’ve likely read lots of blog posts stating that it takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back to work after an interruption, context switch, or meeting. Thus, “do you have five minutes” ends up not only costing those few minutes, but instead about half an hour. But where does that number come from?

Composting benefits the environment and your garden, but the odor is something to contend with. Fortunately, unpleasant smells aren't inevitable. Modern countertop composters and food scrap processors dry and grind waste within hours to maintain a fresh-smelling kitchen. We tested both the Lomi composter and Mill kitchen bin -- each performed admirably, though both require an investment of several hundred dollars.
