wired.com David Gilbert 2025-10-26 07:09:30

A self-proclaimed leader of an online group linked to the violent extremist network The Com tells WIRED he is responsible for the flurry of hoax active-shooter alerts at universities across the US in recent days as students return to school. Known online as Gores, the person says he coleads a group called Purgatory, which is offering its followers a menu of services, including hoax threats against schools—known as swatting—for just $20, while faked threats against hospitals, businesses, and air

The Trump administration promised a fourth wireless carrier — America got a hot mess instead

theverge.com Karl Bode 2025-10-26 16:20:53

With Dish Network owner EchoStar selling $23 billion in valuable spectrum to AT&T, any pretense that the TV provider will become a serious wireless competitor is dead. But the project was always doomed to fail, and despite plenty of assurances by the Trump administration and other companies involved, the very obvious writing was always on the wall. More than 9,000 T-Mobile employees lost their jobs, the wireless sector stopped seriously competing on price, and T-Mobile increasingly began to beh

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the AirPods Pro 3 will likely be among the major product releases at next month’s annual iPhone 17 event.

One feature that has been available for a number of years on Android has long been expected to come to iPhone too: reverse wireless charging. A leaker yesterday suggested that it’s coming to the two iPhone 17 Pro models. If true, this would be good news for three reasons, but there is reason to suggest that may not be possible – due to MagSafe … What is reverse wireless charging?

Technics EAH-AZ100 Review: Wireless Earbuds That Sound So Next Level I’m Ruined

2025 Hi-fi audio is a funny thing. Someone could say the words “high fidelity” until you’re both blue in the face, but it’s hard to understand unless you hear it for yourself. I mean, how high is high, anyway? Great audio is as high as your frame of reference is, and if you’re like most people and you’re used to sticking AirPods in your ears and calling it a day, then that’s your baseline.

Renowned publications including Wired and Business Insider have been caught publishing what appears to be AI slop.

Google killed this feature so the Pixel 10 could have Qi2 wireless charging
