Best Organic Mattresses (2025): Certified Nontoxic, Natural Sleep

Certified organic mattresses are made of natural, organic materials that have been independently tested to meet standards. Not all “organic”mattresses are equal though. We’ve narrowed our search by sticking with companies that have certifications like the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and ‌Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). GOLS covers latex, which has a pretty complex manufacturing process that is not always the healthiest, but GOLS ensures that the finished results is as free of ha

WTF?! Being affected by a dangerous ransomware operation is bad enough, but at least you might have a chance to recover your files somehow. A recently discovered ransomware strain is making things even trickier by offering a new wiping option that allows affiliate criminals to completely destroy data after encryption. Security researchers have discovered a new Ransomware-as-a-Service campaign with highly destructive potential. Anubis has only been around for a few months and fortunately, hasn't

WhatsApp introduces ads in its app

When Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014, the messaging app had a clear focus. No ads, no games and no gimmicks. For years, that is what WhatsApp’s two billion users — many of them in Brazil, India and other countries around the world — got. They chatted with friends and family unencumbered by advertising and other features found on social media. Now that is set to change. On Monday, WhatsApp said it would start showing ads inside its app for the first time. The promotions will a

Why these headphones are still the best from Bose - even though they're a year old

Jada Jones/ZDNET It's been almost a year and a half since Bose released its latest flagship over-ear headphones, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. I was loyal to the QC Ultra from their Oct. 2023 release until the new, shiny Sonos Ace stole my attention last June. But later that fall, I took my QC Ultra from their case, threw them on, and wondered why I ever forgot about them. Also: The best headphones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are still my favorite

‘Predator 2’ Walked So the New Films Could Run

After 'Predator: Killer of Killers,' we decided to give the Danny Glover 1990 sequel a spin and were pleasantly surprised. Predator 2 is a very weird movie. As a concept, you totally understand why it exists. It’s a 1990 sequel to the 1987 hit starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, taking the titular character into a completely new location and pitting him against a new high-profile, macho movie star. Schwarzenegger was in the jungles of Central America, and Danny Glover is in the concrete jungles of

Federal Forecasters Lose Access to Critical Tool as Hurricane Season Begins

As Atlantic hurricane season surges to life, federal forecasters must say goodbye to one of their most valuable tools—Saildrones. These uncrewed ships sail into the hearts of tropical storms to collect real-time data that scientists use to predict their strength and path. For the past four years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has deployed Saildrones to improve the accuracy of its hurricane forecasts and warnings. The small drone ships have played an especially impor

Michael Sheen Sounds Unconvinced That the ‘Good Omens’ Finale Special Will Be Released

It’s been a roller-coaster of emotions for Good Omens fans since that heartbreaking season two finale. News that the Prime Video adaptation would get a third and final season came in December 2023; the following year, production was reportedly paused amid the allegations against showrunner and source material co-author Neil Gaiman. Then, fans learned Gaiman was reportedly pulling back from Good Omens season three—followed by the announcement in October 2024 that season three was going to be a 90

Instagram tests a reposts feature

Instagram is testing the ability for users to repost posts, the company confirmed to TechCrunch on Monday. The move doesn’t come as a surprise, as the social network was spotted developing the feature as far back as 2022. Some users have reported seeing the feature on their accounts, with one noting that users will be able to repost their own content in addition to other users’ posts. Of course, not everyone will be on board if Instagram decides to roll out the change officially, especially si

AMD Ryzen 7 9700F could launch under $300 as budget Zen 5 chip without integrated graphics

Google Play Store just make it harder to fat-finger an accidental purchase

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is replacing the Play Store’s one-tap buy button with a new “Slide to buy” gesture.

Online retailers are increasingly keen to make the buying process as smooth as possible, but that convenience can lead to unintentional purchases. To counter this, Google is int

Meta Oakley smart glasses could arrive this week. Here's everything we know

The Switch 2 Is My Favorite Way to Play Cyberpunk 2077, and It’s Not Just Mouse Controls

2025 I’ve tested Cyberpunk 2077 on so many different systems, handhelds, and PCs, you would assume the word “choom” would send me into a state of cyberpsychosis. But I’m midway through yet another playthrough of the game on Switch 2, and I can already tell this will be the first system I use to finally complete the game since I last played it in 2020. The version of Cyberpunk 2025 tuned for Nintendo’s new handheld is the most seamless and comfortable edition that still showcases the game’s beau

Plague of Phone-Addicted Tourists Shuts Down the Louvre

If you’re traveling to Paris in the near future, there is some bad news and some good news. The bad news: you likely won’t be able to see the Mona Lisa or any of the masterpieces hanging inside the Louvre, because it’s currently shut down. The good news: You’ll get to see a strong labor movement at work. On Monday, staff at the world’s most-visited museum went on strike, forcing the museum to close its doors over concerns about the effects of mass tourism, according to the Associated Press. The

Best Reading Glasses to Buy Online in 2025

Strength Reading glasses typically range from +0.25 to +2.50 diopters (the unit of measurement for eye prescriptions), though the average starting strength is usually around +0.75. In rare cases, reading glass strength can go up to +4.00. “Tips for buying reading glasses online are similar to buying ready-made reading glasses at the drugstore: it’s a convenient option, but it’s not a good idea for everyone,” says Ravi Goel, MD, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “

Ads are “rolling out gradually” to WhatsApp

For the first time since launching in 2009, WhatsApp will now show users advertisements. The ads are “rolling out gradually,” the company said. For now, the ads will only appear on WhatsApp's Updates tab, where users can update their status and access channels or groups targeting specific interests they may want to follow. In its announcement of the ads, parent company Meta claimed that placing ads under Updates means that the ads won’t “interrupt personal chats.” Meta said that 1.5 billion pe

Instagram users complain of mass bans, pointing finger at AI

Instagram users have for weeks complained about a significant increase in accounts being mistakenly banned or suspended. Many suspect, without direct evidence, that the issues may have to do with the use of AI automation. Reached for comment, Meta has so far not offered an on-record statement. According to a growing number of social media posts, including on sites like Reddit and X, Instagram users report that their accounts were banned even though they had not violated the company’s terms of

Character.AI and Meta "therapy" chatbots spark FTC complaint over unlicensed mental health advice

What just happened? Chatbots can do a lot of things, but they're not licensed therapists. A coalition consisting of digital rights and mental health groups isn't happy that products from Meta and Character.AI allegedly engage in the "unlicensed practice of medicine," and has submitted a complaint to the FTC urging regulators to investigate. The complaint, which has also been submitted to Attorneys General and Mental Health Licensing Boards of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, claims t

Android 16 update breaks button and gesture navigation for some Pixel users

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google Pixel users are experiencing an annoying bug after installing the Android 16 update. The bug results in navigation buttons and gestures becoming temporarily unresponsive. User reports suggest that the issue is not limited to a specific Pixel model, although not all users are affected. Google recently rolled out Android 16 on the stable channel, bringing several new features to its Pixel devices. However, the update also seems to have introduced a f

Tesla blows past stopped school bus and hits kid-sized dummies in Full Self-Driving tests

A revealing demonstration with Tesla's Full Self-Driving mode is raising concerns about whether fully autonomous cars are ready to hit the streets. Tesla has reportedly pushed back the rollout of its upcoming all-electric, fully autonomous car called the Cybercab, while a recent demonstration in Austin, Texas showed a Tesla Model Y running through a school bus' flashing lights and stop signs, and hitting child-size mannequins.
