The ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Team Had to Fight to Keep One of the ‘Final Fantasy’ Set’s Best References

Magic: The Gathering‘s new Final Fantasy set is an absolute love letter to the beloved RPG series, with hundreds of cards making a flavorful nod to their source material in one way or another.

More than a decade beyond the launch of Amazon’s Alexa, he’s been tasked with creating a new version of the marquee voice assistant, one that’s powered by large language models.

Companies That Replaced With Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep

Silk & Snow S&S Organic Mattress Review: Soft as a Cloud

Right off the bat, I'm letting you know this bed is made of neither silk nor snow. I would argue that it’s made with something even better—latex. The feel of latex can be hard to pinpoint, as I’ve heard it compared to everything from a thicker yoga mat or trampoline to even a waterbed. The fact of the matter is that latex has cushioning, pressure relief, and a bouncy feel. It’s also pretty good at keeping out heat and allergens, which is a win for hot sleepers and those with allergies. With the

CarPlay’s ‘next generation’ is already looking better than we thought

CarPlay’s evolution has in several ways been a disappointment since the “next generation” of CarPlay was first previewed in 2022. But all of a sudden, in the span of a mere month, CarPlay’s future looks brighter than it has in years—in part because of a redefinition of what that future will be. The next generation of CarPlay is no longer just CarPlay Ultra CarPlay’s previously announced “next generation” seemed like it would never arrive. But now, it’s finally here—with a twist. And arguably,

PSA: WhatsApp for iPhone now also lets you copy part of a message

Windows 11 now lets EU users export Recall data – if they still trust it

Editor's take: Microsoft is testing a new Recall "export experience" for unpaid beta testers in the Windows Insider program that it was forced to build to comply with European laws. That said, we still believe every Windows user with a sane mind should simply disable and uninstall the entire Recall mess – for good. Microsoft recently released a new Windows 11 Preview Build to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders (KB5060816). The update includes a significant addition for owners of Copilot+ PCs

Rocket Companies Like SpaceX May Soon Pay Per Pound to Use the Sky

The skies may no longer be free for the space industry. Rocket companies like SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA) may soon be required to pay a fee to support FAA oversight and airspace coordination, part of a broader effort to keep up with the growing launch industry.

The collected fees would go int
