Fashion giant Chanel hit in wave of Salesforce data theft attacks

French fashion giant Chanel is the latest company to suffer a data breach in an ongoing wave of Salesforce data theft attacks. Chanel says the breach was first detected on July 25th after threat actors gained access to a Chanel database hosted at a third-party service provider, as first reported by WWD. The breach only impacted customers in the United States and exposed personal contact information. "Based on the findings of the investigation, the data obtained by the unauthorized external pa

Science Reveals the Surprising Origins of the Potato

There are more than a hundred ways to prepare a potato, and thousands of stories have begun with a shot of vodka distilled from this tuber. For centuries, the potato has been instrumental in feeding the world’s growing population. According to one study, the introduction of the potato from the Americas accounted for about a quarter of the population growth in the Old World between 1700 and 1900. Now, science reveals the vegetable’s surprising origins: It emerged 9 million years ago as a result

T-Mobile now owns USCellular, says no changes ‘for now’

T-Mobile last year announced that it was buying most of US Cellular, in a deal said to be worth a total of $4.4B. That deal has now completed. T-Mobile says that USCellular customers will stay on their existing plans “for now,” adding that they will later be able to choose to switch to one of the carrier’s unlimited plans … T-Mobile announced the acquisition back in May of last year. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and UScellular (NYSE: USM) today announced that T-Mobile has agreed to acquire substan

Double-slit experiment holds up when stripped to its quantum essentials

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario. The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the British scholar Thomas Young to show how light behaves as a wave. Today, with the formulation of

I want Gemini to be my DJ in YouTube Music

Stephen Headrick / Android Authority Imagine having your very own DJ in your pocket, ready to mix your favorite songs at a moment’s notice. No, not your dad’s 3-5 second crossfade, but instead a completely customized mix that makes the two songs you’re transitioning between meld together like they were designed that way by the artists themselves. That’s the idea behind Apple Music’s upcoming AI-powered AutoMix feature, which is coming with this fall’s iOS 26 release. As a former Spotify user a

T-Mobile now officially owns UScellular

T-Mobile has sealed the deal on its UScellular acquisition. In exchange for $4.3 billion, T-Mobile gets UScellular’s customers, stores and 30 percent of its spectrum. If you’re a UScellular customer, you don’t have to do anything. "UScellular customers stay on their existing plans with no changes for now," the carrier said. You can continue to manage your account through UScellular’s website. You can also still turn to the T-Mobile-owned carrier for customer support. The $4.3 billion wasn’t th

Atlassian terminates 150 staff

Atlassian CEO and co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes sent the video titled “Restructuring the CSS Team: A Difficult Decision for Our Future” to staff on Wednesday morning (30 July), informing them that 150 staff had been made redundant. The video reportedly did not make it seem that the decision was difficult, but rather said it would allow its staff “to say goodbye”. The video itself did not announce who was leaving, but it told employees they would have to wait 15 minutes for an email about their

Twist on Famous Double-Slit Experiment Deals a Blow to Einstein’s Quantum Doubts

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously observed. But a new, simple iteration of a foundational quantum experiment offers the most conclusive, direct evidence yet that Einstein may have been wrong. In a recent paper for Physical Review Letters, MIT scientists successfully replicated the double-slit experiment on the atomic scale, allowing for an

Research roundup: 7 cool science stories we almost missed

It's a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across each month. In the past, we've featured year-end roundups of cool science stories we (almost) missed. This year, we're experimenting with a monthly collection. July's list includes the discovery of the tomb of the first Maya king of Caracol in Belize, the fluid dynamics of tacking a sailboat, how to determine how fast blood was traveling when it stained cotton fabric, and how

CX goes AI-first: NiCE's acquisition of Cognigy signals a major customer service inflection point

imaginima/Getty Images The B2B technology market has been in a state of deep freeze for well over two years, since the Fed began increasing interest rates, raising borrowing costs, and making funding more difficult. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities, particularly in the customer experience (CX) and contact center as a service (CCaaS) spaces, have stalled. Meanwhile, the development of generative AI (gen AI) has initiated a proverbial gold rush for investors focusing on the rapidly risi

Potatoes Evolved From Tomatoes, Study Reveals

That’s it. That’s the news. Genome biologist Sanwen Huang knows a thing or two about potatoes. But his latest potato breakthrough may be his most shocking yet: potatoes are descended from tomatoes. In a Cell paper published today, Huang’s team reports that the modern potato likely emerged about 9 million years ago, when tomato plants married the etuberosum, a potato-like species common to Chile. The origin of the modern potato has puzzled scientists for years, but the new results finally give p

Déjà vu? T-Mobile may be changing your plan whether you want it to or not (Updated)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR It seems T-Mobile may be automatically switching some legacy customers to Go5G Plus plans starting August 13, claiming it comes at no extra cost. The change mostly affects Magenta Max users, with some T-Mobile One plans also reportedly included. While perks and pricing are said to remain the same, concerns remain about how this impacts older Price Lock guarantees. There also doesn’t appear to be a way to opt out.

Déjà vu? T-Mobile may be changing your plan whether you want it to or not

Back in 2023, T-Mobile received a ton of flak for announcing it would soon forcibly switch some of its legacy customers to newer, more expensive plans. Within weeks, the company reversed its stance amid growing complaints, claiming the move had only been a test . Two years later, it seems the company is at it once again. Several T-Mobile customers have taken to Reddit to complain about a new email making the rounds. The message informs recipients of a plan change set to take effect on August 13

Best WordPress Hosting for Smooth Website Operation in 2025

Some of these services don't offer as much customer support as the best services, don't offer as many security features or lack an uptime guarantee. You still might find a service that works for you. HostPapa HostPapa is a Canadian web hosting company with plans available in numerous currencies, including CAD, Euros and the Australian dollar. In fact, the option to pay in Canadian dollars is one of the primary reasons I chose HostPapa -- it’s the company I’ve used for my personal websites sinc

Starlink Is Set to Receive Billions in Federal Subsidies but Analysis Says It Can’t Handle the Traffic

Key takeaways A new X-Lab analysis indicates Starlink can only support 6.66 households per square mile before speeds drop below FCC broadband minimums (100/20 Mbps). Currently, only 17% of Starlink users currently meet FCC broadband speeds, yet altered BEAD program rules could direct significant federal funds to Starlink as the lowest-cost option. While Starlink greatly improves internet access and quality for rural Americans, experts worry about its long-term viability for widespread broadban

25 Best Cheap Watches Under $1,000 (2025): Timex, Hamilton, and Seiko

Whether an automatic or a quartz watch is the better buy is an age-old question watch nerds have argued about since the '70s when quartz first made a splash. The answer is actually simple—don’t let it worry you. The convenience of a quartz watch being always ready to go when you put it on may outweigh the pleasure of seeing the lovely smooth sweep of the second hand on an automatic. Below a certain price there will always be more quartz watches than automatics, but as automatic movements get mo

Domino's deploys Boston Dynamics' robot dog to deliver pizza and fend off seagulls on beaches

WTF?! Domino's Pizza wants to solve a very specific problem: getting pizza to customers on a beach and then protecting it from seagulls.

Boston Dynamics' Spot the dog robot has had many careers: bomb disposal expert, police officer, dancer, industrial inspector, cheerleader, Solid Snake impersonator, etc. In the UK seaside town of Eastbourne, Domino's is u

Despite Starlink’s Improved Speeds, It Still Misses the FCC’s Broadband Standard

Starlink is nearly twice as fast as it was two years ago, according to a recent report from the speed test site Ookla. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Median download speeds from the satellite internet provider have steadily ticked up over the past few years, going from 53.95 megabits per second in 2022 to 104.71Mbps today. That’s an impressive feat considering Starlink added about 5 million customers over the same period and recently passed the 6 mi
