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

Microsoft Accidentally Replaces Windows 11 Startup Sound With Vista Chime

Microsoft has temporarily transported users back to 2007 this week when the company mistakenly swapped Windows 11's familiar startup chime with the iconic Windows Vista boot sound. The mix-up appeared in a recent Windows 11 Insider Preview build in the Dev Channel. Users who rebooted their systems noticed that instead of the modern Windows 11 tone, they were greeted by Vista's distinct (and now nostalgic) startup sound. Microsoft has since acknowledged the issue, calling it an unintentional ch

Trump fires commissioner of preeminent nuclear safety institution

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 shares rise 10% after analysts say they expect a 'snapback' for chipmaker

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices rose nearly 10% on Monday after analysts at Piper Sandler lifted their price target on the stock on optimism about the chipmaker's latest product announcement. The analysts said they see a snapback for AMD's graphics processing units, or GPUs, in the fourth quarter. That's when they expect the chipmaker to be through the bulk of the $800 million in charges that AMD said it would incur as a result of a new U.S. license requirement that applies to exports of semic

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. The update aims to reduce accidental purchases by requiring a more deliberate action. The change is rolling out with version 46.5.19-31 of the Play Store across all purchase interfaces. 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

MagSafe Monday: ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet Stand adds a solid kickstand and RFID protection in a slim design

MagSafe accessories continue to be a mix of great ideas and daily annoyances, but I keep trying them all. I’ve tried enough wallets to fill a drawer in my desk, and most of them get something right, but miss on a few minor things. Recently, I’ve been trying some new wallets that do more than hold credit cards. That’s what caught my eye with the BENKS ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet Stand, and I’ve been using it for the past few weeks. Some of my favorite gear Abode Home Security System Abode is the bes

Meta's AI-Powered Ad Machine Is Coming for WhatsApp Next

WhatsApp, the Meta-owned messaging app used by close to 2 billion people worldwide, is ramping up its advertising efforts.

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

Meta and Oakley tease a smart glasses announcement for June 20

Reports emerged earlier this year that Meta was working with Oakley on smart glasses and it seems we're about to see the fruits of those labors. A new Instagram account called @oakleymeta has popped up and its first post teased an announcement for this Friday (June 20).

Getting free internet on a cruise, saving $170

Internet on a cruise ship is insanely expensive, but a little bit of DevTools knowledge and some simple Python scripting can go a long way when it comes to getting free internet Picture this, you’re a teenager in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship. All is good, except you’re lacking your lifeblood: internet. You could pay $170 for seven days of throttled internet on a single device, and perhaps split it via a travel router or hotspot, but that still seems less than ideal. I’ve been trave

JBL’s ANC Earbuds Now Over 4x Cheaper Than AirPods Pro 2, Best Buy Exclusive With Limited Stock

Your Next Instant Pot Might Be Made by Donald Trump

Quantum upgrade makes random number generation fully traceable

Trust, but verify: Random number generation is a serious matter in modern computing. Most systems rely on a purely hardware-based approach to RNG, but the process is essentially impossible to verify or trace. Now, a new quantum-based method developed by US researchers could offer a potential solution to this RNG puzzle. Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have upgraded their previously developed quantum-based method for true random number gener

Object personification in autism: This paper will be sad if you don't read (2018)

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestion that object personification may be a feature of autism seems almost paradoxical. Why would a person experience sympathy for objects, when they struggle to understand and verbalise the emotions of ot

‘Rick and Morty’ Creators Address That Hilarious New Plot Hole

The latest entry in Rick and Morty season eight skewers holiday celebrations. It starts off with a similar approach to Solar Opposites‘ riff on a Santa Clause-style rule for Halloween, then flies off the rails by by enmeshing the hapless Jerry in an ancient drama involving the Easter Bunny, pseudo-Christian aliens, and the plot of Alien prequel Prometheus. Amid all the weirdness, however, one dialogue exchange between Rick and Morty caught our attention—and bugged us so much, io9 asked showrunn
