Customize Your Google Search Results With This New Feature

Facing criticism for degraded search results and angst from people who want to avoid AI Overviews, Google has announced a new search feature that lets you choose the sites you want to see in your news and search results. Google said in a recent blog post that it's launching Preferred Sources in the US and India this month. The new feature can be accessed through a plus icon to the right of Top Stories panels or a direct link to your preferences. "Once you select your sources, they will appear

Firefox 32-bit Linux Support to End in 2026

For many years, Mozilla has continued to provide Firefox for 32-bit Linux systems long after most other browsers and operating systems ended support. We made this choice because we care deeply about keeping Firefox available to as many people as possible, helping our users extend the life of their hardware and reduce unnecessary obsolescence. Today, however, 32-bit Linux (on x86) is no longer widely supported by the vast majority of Linux distributions, and maintaining Firefox on this platform

AI Video Generators Are Here: Everything in OpenAI's Sora, Google's Veo 3 and Midjourney

First came the AI chatbots, then the AI image generators. Now, tech companies are rushing to release AI video generators. During the past year, nearly every major tech company has dropped some kind of AI video model. Between Google's Veo 3, Midjourney and Sora, it's quickly become a crowded market. AI videos are a huge leap forward in a company's AI creative offerings, and they're something worth keeping an eye on as generative AI becomes a bigger part of the content we create and see online.

Forget Search, these 2 Google services desperately need Preferred Sources instead

Andy Walker / Android Authority It seems like everyone celebrated the announcement of Preferred Sources for Google Search. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a good idea. Giving consumers more control over their internet experience is definitely the way to go. However, I find it a somewhat pointless addition to a tool I use to find a variety of sources and not merely highlight my favorites. Beyond Search, I argue that two other Google products would benefit from Preferred Sources: News and Discover. I’v

Apple now selling certified refurbished Apple Pencil Pro for nearly 20% off

Recently, Apple begun stocking its latest Apple Pencil Pro on its certified refurbished store – allowing customers to pick up a like-new Apple Pencil Pro for their compatible iPad model at a lower price.

You can still buy refurbished Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses for $76 off - how to find deals

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store. I recently ordered a pair of Meta Ray-Bans in the Skylar style with the Shiny Caramel finish with Polar Brown lens

My phone is an ereader now

My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to sleep, and who would then creep slowly to the bookshelf to pick it up again without arousing suspicion after the light had been turned out. I think I slowed my reading for fun as the work load of school increased, and

Hardening Firefox – a checklist for improved browser privacy

This checklist will walk you (and me) through the settings and extensions I use to improve my privacy when using Firefox. If you’re looking for a web browser that offers a high degree of privacy out of the box with minimal setup, Brave is a common choice. However, I prefer Firefox for several reasons: Firefox is developed by the nonprofit organization Mozilla. I value Mozilla’s commitment to open source software. Firefox is not based on Chromium. Brave, like most browsers, is based on Chromi

Get a Google Pixel 10? You need to change this display setting immediately

Joe Maring / Android Authority There’s a lot to like about the Google Pixel 10. The triple-camera system on the back is one of the most impressive we’ve seen for a non-Pro Pixel. Magnetic Qi2 charging is a fantastic addition, the Tensor G5 is a significant upgrade, and the Indigo color this year is oh-so-pretty. Google has also been at the top of its display game for a while now, and the Pixel 10 is no exception. With a 6.3-inch OLED panel, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 3,000 nits of peak br

Rocket Report: SpaceX achieved daily launch this week; ULA recovers booster

Welcome to Edition 8.08 of the Rocket Report! What a week it's been for SpaceX. The company completed its first successful Starship test flight in nearly a year, and while it wasn't perfect, it sets up SpaceX for far more ambitious tests ahead. SpaceX's workhorse rocket, the Falcon 9, launched six times since our last edition of the Rocket Report. Many of these missions were noteworthy in their own right, including the launch of the US military's X-37B spaceplane, an upgraded Dragon capsule to b

Spiders Hijack Fireflies to Create Devious Glowing Death Traps

Fireflies glow to attract mates. As new research shows, however, a certain species of spider has learned to take advantage of this luminous natural phenomenon. In a Journal of Animal Ecology paper published August 27, ecologists report that the sheetweb spider (Psechrus clavis) appears to exploit firefly luminescence to attract more prey. Observational analysis and lab experiments revealed that, by using firefly light as bait, the nocturnal predators improved their hunting success. This is the

GPU Prefix Sums: A nearly complete collection

GPU Prefix Sums GPUPrefixSums aims to bring state-of-the-art GPU prefix sum techniques from CUDA and make them available in portable compute shaders. In addition to this, it contributes "Decoupled Fallback," a novel fallback technique for Chained Scan with Decoupled Lookback that should allow devices without forward thread progress guarantees to perform the scan without crashing. The D3D12 implementation includes an extensive survey of GPU prefix sums, ranging from the warp to the device level;

Group Borrowing: Zero-cost memory safety with fewer restrictions

Child groups That's a useful rule, and it can get us pretty far. But let's make it even more specific, so we can prove more programs memory-safe.

NASA’s Largest Satellite Antenna Ever Has Just Unfurled in Space

A Flower-like satellite has “bloomed” in outer space, unfolding to reveal the largest radar antenna reflector ever put into orbit. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), a joint project between the US space agency and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), launched on July 30 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in southeastern India, before unfurling to its full size 17 days later. The spacecraft is now ready to make full-scale observations of the Earth, and will use radar to t
