Canada Raids Compound of QAnon-Inspired Cult Leader, ‘Queen of Canada’

The cultural curse of QAnon may have largely dissipated in the U.S., but an alleged offshoot of the cult has been festering in a remote region of Canada. This week, police say they busted the group in a raid on a compound in a small village in southwest Saskatchewan. Authorities in Canada say they arrested 17 people in the village of Richmound on Wednesday. The arrests took place at a building where the group—which calls itself “The Kingdom of Canada”—had been living for approximately two years

13 Superfoods Found In Your Fridge That Can Protect Your Kidneys

As important as kidney health may be, it doesn't always get the focus it should. The CDC estimates that more than 1 in 7 adults in the US are living with chronic kidney disease, and many don't even know it. That's why prevention and daily care are so important. Taking simple steps now can help protect y

Creator of Charli XCX Apple dance settles Roblox lawsuit Kelley Heyer created the Apple dance posting it every day for two weeks before it started getting popular. Court papers filed in the US this week said that Kelley and the Roblox Corporation had agreed to dismiss the case, and a joint statement quoted by Billboard said both sides had "amicably resolved" the issue.

Samsung’s new DeX drops desktop UI on tablets, and not everyone will be happy

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR In One UI 8, Samsung DeX no longer offers the full desktop interface on tablets unless connected to an external display. The updated version improves ease of switching between regular Android and DeX mode without closing apps. When using the standalone tablet view, traditional navigation buttons and quick settings are absent, resulting in a less mouse-friendly experience. Android 16 introduced Google’s take on a Desktop Mode for Android, and the new v

Dymesty AI Glasses: Everyday titanium eyewear with a full AI assistant built in

AI-powered smart glasses are all the rage nowadays. However, despite their potential, one of the main issues with smart glasses is their appearance and feel. Most are usually big, bulky, made with plastic to keep the weight low, and have large stems to hold all the tech. It all adds up to quite an uncomfortable experience and often looks out of place. That is the most significant pain point that Dymesty addresses with its AI Glasses. Dymesty created AI glasses that professionals would genuinely

As a cell phone expert, I’m worried about the future of prepaid carriers

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Once dismissed as the domain of teenagers, bad credit consumers, or even shady activity, prepaid wireless has transformed into a real competitor in the smartphone age. Today, the prepaid market offers everything from ultra-budget choices to services that deliver an experience nearly indistinguishable from premium postpaid service. But this evolution comes with a new concern: over-saturation. There are now well over a dozen reputable prepaid carriers, along w

Hue just did its biggest product launch ever as part of IFA 2025 and a key product is the new entry-level Essential smart bulb lineup.

AR Fluid Simulation Demo

Fluid Simulation (Demo) 2025 I wanted to see what happens when a fluid simulation collides with real objects. To test this idea I created this demo. To capture the shapes of objects, I mounted a webcam above the screen. A polarization filter blocks the image displayed on the screen, preventing a feedback loop, while still allowing the camera to see anything placed in front of it. The video feed is then aligned with the computer-generated simulation, so the fluid can react to those cutout obj

Venezuela Claims Trump’s Video of Strike Against Suspected Drug Smugglers Is AI

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his government had conducted a “kinetic strike” against suspected drug smugglers from Venezuela in a boat traveling in the Caribbean. The strike killed 11 people, according to Trump, and he claims they were all gang members. None of those points has been confirmed, and drug smuggling is not a capital offense, making Trump’s strike almost certainly illegal under international law. But Venezuela had a rather interesting reply. A government minister is

New AI model turns photos into explorable 3D worlds, with caveats

On Tuesday, Tencent released HunyuanWorld-Voyager, a new open-weights AI model that generates 3D-consistent video sequences from a single image, allowing users to pilot a camera path to "explore" virtual scenes. The model simultaneously generates RGB video and depth information to enable direct 3D reconstruction without the need for traditional modeling techniques. However, it won't be replacing video games anytime soon. The results aren't true 3D models, but they achieve a similar effect: The

A Shocking Number of Kids Don’t Play Outside

Scientists at the University of Exeter in the UK found that about a third of children reported not playing outdoors after school, while one in five reported not playing outside during the weeke
