Computing’s Top 30: Harini Hapuarachichi

In medieval Europe, kings wore diamonds to absorb the gemstone’s purported powers of strength and invincibility. Today, researchers are seeking to harness those same storied powers to fuel quantum computing’s next leap. Among those researchers: Harini Hapuarachichi, a computational physicist and postdoctoral research fellow at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)—and one of Computing’s Top 30 Early Career Professionals for 2024. In the following Q&A, Hapuarachichi discusses her g

How to Avoid Scams and Shoddy Wares on Amazon (2025)

With a few keystrokes you can find almost anything on Amazon ... and buy it with as little as a single click. It’s a wonderbox of capitalism. I once typed in “yak” for no good reason and Amazon’s algorithms suggested “yak cheese himalayan dog chews.” So I hit Enter and up popped pages filled with hundreds of different dog chews that I have since learned are an all-natural, satisfying, long-lasting treat for pups. Amazon had over 300 Himalayan dog chews to sift through, from hundreds of companies

Tubi’s next move to expand its streaming catalog sounds like a win for the indie movie set. Today, Tubi (which is owned by Fox) announced that it is partnering with Kickstarter to distribute a number of films funded on the crowdfunding platform.

Meta cracks down on nudify apps after being exposed

Meta is suing a company that advertised generative AI apps on its social media platforms that enable users to “nudify” people without their consent. The lawsuit against Joy Timeline comes after hundreds of ads for the digital undressing apps were discovered on Meta’s Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Threads platforms by a CBS News investigation published last week. “This legal action underscores both the seriousness with which we take this abuse and our commitment to doing all we can to prot

Samsung scores a win in Galaxy S22 throttling saga, but it still deceived customers

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Korean court has ruled that Samsung wasn’t liable for damages after it throttled Galaxy S22 phones. However, the court acknowledged that Samsung engaged in “deceptive labeling and advertising that was likely to mislead consumers.” Samsung throttled S22 phones out of the box back in 2022 and didn’t let users disable this functionality at first. Samsung made headlines for all the wrong reasons in early 2022 when it turned out that the company was throttl

I changed 7 Samsung phone settings to significantly improve the battery life

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily. If your new Galaxy phone isn't lasting an entire day on a single charge, there are ways to make the most of what you have without hindering the user experience. Also: The

Reflections on Sudoku, or the Impossibility of Systematizing Thought

I reflect on the Entscheidungsproblem how it relates to Sudoku solvers. It's a little weird.. The other day, to no one's surprise, I was fumbling over a programming problem. This wasn't anything satisfyingly algorithmic, but more the thing where you're evaluating a million questions on "how should I structure this system?". While I'm no design purist, I like to at least make an attempt at sketching out the problem space and think through options before I just start coding something. My rule of

Air Traffic Control in the US Still Runs on Windows 95 and Floppy Disks

On Wednesday, acting FAA administrator Chris Rocheleau told the House Appropriations Committee that the Federal Aviation Administration plans to replace its aging air traffic control systems, which still rely on floppy disks and Windows 95 computers, Tom's Hardware reports. The agency has issued a Request for Information to gather proposals from companies willing to tackle the massive infrastructure overhaul. “The whole idea is to replace the system. No more floppy disks or paper strips,” Roche

The Best Motherboards: AMD and Intel

With a little more budget, you can get some really nice boards for up around $200. From day one, a stand out which we featured in our early 10th-gen coverage is the MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk, it's a great quality motherboard priced at $190. In our testing, the Z490 Tomahawk peaked at just 74 degrees running a Core i9-10900K clocked at 5.1 GHz using 1.35v, so you don't need to spend big money to get the most out of Intel's new 10-core processor, despite the fact that it is extremely power hungry when

AI chatbots restricted in China during exam season to prevent cheating

In brief: The problem of students using AI to cheat on their exams has become a major headache for schools around the world. But China has come up with a solution that could prove effective: AI companies are suspending some of their chatbots' features during exam seasons. Makers of some of China's most popular AI apps, including Alibaba's Qwen and ByteDance's Doubao, have stopped the tools' picture-recognition features from responding whenever they are used to identify and answer questions rela

Cubit Studios showed off its Infinitesimals sci-fi game with tiny characters and some very big bugs. It’s an upcoming third-person sci-fi action-adventure which will be published in 2026 by Epic Games Publishing. You’re kind of like a bug yourself, and you’re pitted against some much bigger ones. I got a demo from Cubit Studios at the Epic Games booth at the Summer Game Fest Showcase on Sunday.

The Pentagon is gutting the team that tests AI and weapons systems

It is a significant overhaul of a department that in 40 years has never before been placed so squarely on the chopping block. Here’s how today’s defense tech companies, which have fostered close connections to the Trump administration, stand to gain, and why safety testing might suffer as a result. The Operational Test and Evaluation office is “the last gate before a technology gets to the field,” says Missy Cummings, a former fighter pilot for the US Navy who is now a professor of engineering

Samsung says the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable

TL;DR Samsung has claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be “the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.” It’s worth noting that the OPPO Find N5 and vivo X Fold 3 are the current thin and light champions, respectively. Samsung teased the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last week, hinting at an Ultra-level experience. Now, the company has made some bold claims about its upcoming foldable phone. Samsung claimed in a blog post that its latest Galaxy Z series devices could outdo other foldables: The

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors: Pricing, specs, release date, and everything else we know

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority When it comes to the very best foldable phones, Samsung’s name tends to be one of the first that comes to mind. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a fairly iterative update over its predecessor, it does make some notable improvements to AI features, durability, and more. As much as the Fold 6 gets right, there is still plenty of room for Samsung to improve. And thanks to increased competition in the foldable space with devices like the Google Pixel 9 Pro F

Samsung could shake up its audio lineup with two new earbuds (APK teardown)

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is likely working on two new earbud models: the Galaxy Buds Core and the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. The Galaxy Buds Core may succeed the Galaxy Buds FE, potentially skipping the “Galaxy Buds 2 FE/Galaxy Buds FE 2” name. Based on the model numbers, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE could further extend the lineup even though the Buds 2 FE don’t exist. Samsung makes some great earbuds that complement Galaxy devices very well. The last new product launched in the Gala

I changed 10 Samsung phone settings to instantly improve the user experience

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box.

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority These offers are available from Amazon. Best Buy also offers free gift cards when you purchase a Samsung Galaxy S25 series smartphone. The only difference is that getting the base Galaxy S25 will get you a less valuable $50 gift card, which is half what you would get from Amazon. Best Buy still gives you a $100 gift card for the Galaxy S25 Plus and a $200 one for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, though. Which Galaxy S25 version should you get? Are you having trouble decidi

Tesla recalls more than 375,000 vehicles in U.S. due to failing power-assisted steering systems

Tesla models Y and 3 are displayed at a Tesla dealership in Corte Madera, California, on Dec. 20, 2024.

Brian Armstrong says Coinbase spent $50M fighting SEC lawsuit — and beat it

Coinbase on Friday said the SEC has agreed to drop the lawsuit against the company with prejudice, meaning it cannot be filed again. The move, which is still subject to the approval of the SEC’s Commissioners, is yet another signal that the Trump administration plans to be more friendly to crypto than the SEC was under former leader Gary Gensler. The SEC’s lawsuit, filed in 2023, alleged that crypto assets were securities and that Coinbase was operating as “an unregistered national securities

YouTube creator Jeff Springer posted that they received a new One UI 7 update, with the s

Did Samsung just cancel the fancy 3-in-1 charger it showed off at Unpacked?

TL;DR Samsung has pulled the product page for its recently announced three-in-one wireless charger. This suggests that the Galaxy maker may have canceled the accessory, but we’ve asked the company for more information. Samsung quietly announced a new three-in-one wireless charger alongside the Galaxy S25 phones last month. The company didn’t offer many details at the time, but it now looks like this product has vanished. SammyGuru noticed that Samsung recently pulled the official product page
