Getting ready to issue IP address certificates

We're almost ready to issue certificates for IP address SANs from Let's Encrypt's production environment. They'll only be available under the shortlived profile (which has a 6-day validity period), and that profile will remain allowlist-only for a while. Please note: We have more work to do before we're ready to launch this feature for the public. We don't yet have a timeline, and aren't ready to accept allowlist requests. Here's a sample staging certificate, and a site using it: Please speak

Best Internet Providers in Durham, North Carolina

What is the best internet provider in Durham? Our broadband experts here at CNET recommend AT&T Fiber as the top internet provider in Durham, North Carolina.

The battle-tested tips CEOs swear by when change hits from every direction

StudioGraphic / Getty Images As I interview some of the brightest minds in technology, business and leadership for my weekly podcast DisrupTV, one thing became crystal clear: we're not just experiencing an AI revolution -- we're in the midst of multiple technological revolutions converging simultaneously. This combinatorial effect makes this even more game changing than the internet, because the internet was just one revolution. Also: 4 ways to turn AI into your business advantage As such, th

Is Lovable getting monetization wrong?

“I remember we were building a micro-app like that and it took at least a month, now it takes 3 minutes.” I messaged a colleague after trying out Lovable and sharing what I (it?) made. “It’s truly shocking” he responded. Using Lovable for the first time was like taking my first Waymo ride. At first, it was mind-blowing (I had no idea this was possible!) and then unremarkable (yep, that v1 works like a v1, as if I handed it to an engineer). Vibe-coding is one of the trending topics in tech. In

Exclusive: Google Pixel 10’s display could hurt your eyes less — but only if you go Pro

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL displays could be better for people who are sensitive to PWM dimming.

The displays are also planned to be brighter by about 200 nits across the board. Since the launch of the Pixel 9 series, Google has been revising its Pixel strategy. Instead of the Pro Pixels being larger, slightly

10 Best Protein Powders of 2025, Tested & Reviewed by WIRED

Honorable Mentions Photograph: Boutayna Chokrane Seeq Clear Protein Powder for $49: I was skeptical when I purchased Seeq Clear Protein, but I’m a sucker for anything watermelon-flavored.

There are zero grams of sugar. Like a lot of other clear protein powders, it’s often more expensive than its counterparts. B

Updating to Android 16 gives you 2 useful security features - but you need to enable them

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Google released Android 16 a bit earlier than expected, and although it was missing some crucial features, there are key additions to the platform that go a long way to improve security. This was an important step forward, as the need for improved security grows every year. Without companies like Google, Apple, and others upping the ante on security, the mobile space would wind up the wild west of the technological landscape, with ne'er-do-wells poppi

Managing time when time doesn't exist

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever. You’d be attempting to justify tardiness using cutting-edge physics to someone whose greatest temporal insight is schedulin

World Curling tightens sweeping rules, bans firmer broom foams ahead of Olympics

World Curling has tightened its sweeping equipment rules heading into the Olympic season.

Generative AI and privacy are best frenemies - a new study ranks the best and worst offenders

TU IS/Getty Most generative AI companies rely on user data to train their chatbots. For that, they may turn to public or private data. Some services are less invasive and more flexible at scooping up data from their users. Others, not so much.

Philips Hue bulbs will be even more expensive in July. And it may not end there.

Philips is upping the prices of its popular and already-expensive Hue series of smart lighting products starting July 1. The company is blaming tariffs for the changes and has suggested that prices could go up even higher after the initial bump in July. Philips started informing its customers via an email marketing message earlier this month that prices would go up and urged people to buy Hue lighting sooner rather than later. In a statement to the Hueblog website, Philips’ parent company, Sig

XBOW, an autonomous penetration tester, has reached the top spot on HackerOne

For the first time in bug bounty history, an autonomous penetration tester has reached the top spot on the US leaderboard.
