Web publishing platform WordPress is introducing an early version of an AI development tool, which CEO Matt Mullenweg described as a “V0 or Lovable, but specifically for WordPress” — V0 and Lovable being references to popular “vibe coding” services for building software using prompt-based, AI interfaces. Mullenweg introduced the new WordPress AI tool, called Telex, at the company’s WordCamp US 2025 conference in Portland last week, alongside other AI experiments. During his keynote address, Mul

Owning a pressure washer can seem like a boon for homeowners wanting to clean decks, driveways and other outdoor surfaces. But if you own one, check the brand and model immediately: around 780,000 Ryobi-branded pressure washers sold at Home Depot and other US and Canadian retailers are being recalled.

Early blogging service Typepad is shutting down for good

Typepad, a blogging service that launched in the same year as WordPress, has announced that it's shutting down on September 30. "We have made the difficult decision to discontinue Typepad," its team said in a post. Several major publications used it as a backend for their websites in its early years, and it even released an app in 2008, but it soon fell behind WordPress in popularity.

Prediction-Encoded Pixels This format is specifically designed to be for low-color pixel art (<=16 colors works best, up to 256 colors is supported). It uses "Prediction by Partial Matching, Order-2" compression, which is able to compress packed-palette-indices smaller than GIF, PNG, and QOI, while sacrificing a bit of time. It's 2-10x slower than GIF/PNG/QOI (depending on the image), but often compresses the image 20-50% smaller than GIF/PNG (and multiple-times smaller than QOI). If you care
