The Download: America’s gun crisis, and how AI video models work

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-10-04 14:10:00

This week, the Trump administration released a strategy for improving the health and well-being of American children. The report was titled—you guessed it—Make Our Children Healthy Again. It suggests American children should be eating more healthily. And they should be getting more exercise. But there’s a glaring omission. The leading cause of death for American children and teenagers isn’t ultraprocessed food or exposure to some chemical. It’s gun violence. This week’s news of yet more high-p

Apple's Awe Dropping event started with dramatic health testimonials from Apple Watch users, then revealed a key new feature for the new Watch Series 11: hypertension alerts.

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-04 14:30:52

Microsoft is no longer in trouble with the European Commission, at least when it comes to Teams. The commission has accepted the changes and commitments the company made in response to its concerns related to Microsoft's bundling of its Teams collaboration platform with its other apps. This particular antitrust saga started years ago when Slack filed an antitrust complaint against Microsoft, claiming that it illegally bundled its work chat competitor with the popular Office suite.

AI 'friend' chatbots probed over child protection The seven companies - Alphabet, OpenAI, Character.ai, Snap, XAI, Meta and its subsidiary Instagram - have been approached for comment. The impacts of AI chatbots to children is a hot topic, with concerns that younger people are particularly vulnerable due to the AI being able to mimic human conversations and emotions, often presenting themselves as friends or companions.

Microsoft sidesteps hefty EU fine with Teams unbundling deal

The Microsoft Teams app on a laptop arranged in New York, US, on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. The European Union on Friday said it has accepted commitments from Microsoft to unbundle its Teams workplace communication platform from its popular productivity apps. The decision essentially exempts Microsoft from receiving a potentially hefty antitrust fine after the company was last year accused by the European Commission — the executive body of the EU — of breaching competition rules with the "abusive

How do AI models generate videos?

Sure, the clips you see in demo reels are cherry-picked to showcase a company’s models at the top of their game. But with the technology in the hands of more users than ever before—Sora and Veo 3 are available in the ChatGPT and Gemini apps for paying subscribers—even the most casual filmmaker can now knock out something remarkable. The downside is that creators are competing with AI slop, and social media feeds are filling up with faked news footage. Video generation also uses up a huge amount

I waited ages for an affordable Galaxy flip phone, but the Z Flip 7 FE isn’t it

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Exynos horsepower, which makes for a solid enough match day-to-day. Unfortunately, the $899 price tag seriously drags things down, while Samsung's cover screen software still lags behind rivals. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip way back in 2020, and it’s lingered around the $1,000 mark ever since.

The Morning After: HBO Max is going to get more expensive

As is often the case, the tech news tide is out after Apple’s iPhone 17 event. (Did we do a dedicated newsletter on all the announcements? Yes, yes we did.)

Gene-edited pancreatic cells transplanted into a patient with type 1 diabetes

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web.

Becoming the person who does the thing

It can be disorienting when our beliefs shift. The world we helped create no longer exists, and our role in it transforms too. It can be unsettling, naturally. But that's kind of the point. Looking back at times when I held certain beliefs—about how the world works, and what my role in this story is—it can feel less like a mod was installed and more like an entirely new operating system was swapped in. Up until my late twenties, I could count the number of times I had been to the gym on one h

Performance-focused forks of styled-components

Your React app might be 40% slower on first render than it needs to be. Not because you wrote bad code. Not because React is slow. But because styled-components never implemented React 18's useInsertionEffect hook: a feature specifically designed to solve CSS-in-JS performance problems. While React 18 shipped in March 2022 with this optimization path, styled-components remained on React 17 patterns, injecting styles during render instead of between render and layout.
