What Are the Healthiest Air Fryer Foods? Registered Dietitians Weigh In

Air fryers have become known as a healthier alternative to other cooking methods because, according to Melissa Jaeger, head of nutrition at nutrition tracking app MyFitnessPal, "Air fryer cooking delivers the crispy texture we know and love from fried foods, but with far less oil and fat than traditional deep frying." If you're interested in using your air fryer for healthy recipes but don't know where to start, we contacted registered dietitians to uncover the healthiest air fryer foods. Plus,

This iPhone 17 Pro mock event looks like Apple’s keynote leaked early

While Apple’s iPhone 17 event kicks off in just a few days, this preview footage could almost be mistaken for the real thing. Jon Prosser is back with another video that looks almost indistinguishable from the real thing. His latest mock reveal covers all the things we expect to see, stitching together every major leak and rumor into a visually impressive video. Anyway, when life gives you lawsuits, make keynote videos.

Tesla changes meaning of 'Full Self-Driving', gives up on promise of autonomy

Tesla has changed the meaning of “Full Self-Driving”, also known as “FSD”, to give up on its original promise of delivering unsupervised autonomy. Since 2016, Tesla has claimed that all its vehicles in production would be capable of achieving unsupervised self-driving capability. CEO Elon Musk has claimed that it would happen by the end of every year since 2018. Tesla has even sold a software package, known as “Full Self-Driving Capability” (FSD), for up to $15,000 to customers, promising tha

Attention Writers: Anthropic Might Owe You $3000 (or More!) If It Was Trained Using Your Work

Writing is a wonderful profession... in writers' dreams! In reality, it's a grind that's comically unprofitable for the vast majority, to say nothing of the tortured ennui that comes with having to deal with actually writing, or the thought of actually writing, or the thought of what you aren't right now actually writing. And the economics are more harrowing than ever, as the once halfway-decent living one could make from publishing a book is now going the way of the dinosaur as people read less

Samsung leak reveals how you’ll be opening and closing its dual-hinge foldable

TL;DR A new animation for Samsung’s multi-fold foldable has leaked. The animation shows how the device will open and close. It also appears to show that users will be able to take selfies with the rear cameras. Samsung debuted the Galaxy S25 FE this week, but that’s not the last smartphone the company is expected to announce this year. The tech giant also has a multi-fold device, popularly but misleadingly called a “tri-fold,” due later this year. Last week, a few 2D animations related to the

Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5 billion to settle authors' copyright lawsuit

Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a class action lawsuit with a group of authors, who claimed the artificial intelligence startup had illegally accessed their books. The company will pay roughly $3,000 per book plus interest, and agreed to destroy the datasets containing the allegedly pirated material, according to a filing on Friday. The lawsuit against Anthropic has been closely watched by AI startups and media companies that have been trying to determine what copyr

Unity developers can now tap into system screen reader tools on macOS and Windows

Unity is updating its game engine to support native screen readers in both macOS and Windows. The feature is available now in the Unity 6000.3.0a5 alpha, and should make the process of making games accessible for blind players cheaper for developers, Can I Play That? writes . Screen readers narrate on-screen menus so blind and low-vision players can navigate a game or a piece of software without additional assistance. Typically, screen reading software is custom-built for each game, which can m

You can now book doctors appointments through the Samsung Health app

Samsung Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Samsung Health users can now book virtual doctors' visits. They can also manage Walgreens prescriptions on the app. The virtual doctors can prescribe medication and provide care. You can do more than track your sleep, steps, or cycle on Samsung's Health app. Samsung announced several health integrations to connect users with practitioners and pharmacies on Wednesday. Starting Sept. 8, Samsung Health users

Rearchitecting GitHub Pages (2015)

GitHub Pages, our static site hosting service, has always had a very simple architecture. From launch up until around the beginning of 2015, the entire service ran on a single pair of machines (in active/standby configuration) with all user data stored across 8 DRBD backed partitions. Every 30 minutes, a cron job would run generating an nginx map file mapping hostnames to on-disk paths. There were a few problems with this approach: new Pages sites did not appear until the map was regenerated (p

Prehistoric Skull Found Fused to Cave Wall May Have Belonged to Mysterious Ancient Hominid

In 1960, a villager found something terrifyingly creepy in Greece’s Petralona cave—a humanoid cranium with a protrusion on its forehead, fused to the cave wall. Since then, researchers have been trying to date the strange specimen and understand how it got there, but these efforts so far have yielded only a frustratingly broad age range of between around 170,000 and 700,000 years. The skull’s ambiguous stratigraphic position is also less than helpful. So a team of researchers took a slightly di

YouTube Cracks Down on Premium Family Plans Used at Different Addresses

Sharing a YouTube Premium or YouTube Music family plan with people who don't live at your address could soon cost you the perks you're used to. Several users have reported receiving warnings that their accounts will be paused within 15 days if they don't comply with YouTube's rules on family plans. The policy isn't new. YouTube required family plan members to share the same household in 2023 but it looks like enforcement is stepping up. If you lose Premium, you can still stream videos and liste

Chinese Scientists Create Bright, Multi-Colored Glowing Plants

Never to be outshone — literally, in this case — Chinese scientists have one-upped American researchers and their bioluminescent petunias with what they're calling world's first multi-colored glowing plants. As the journal Nature reports, this glow-in-the-dark succulent hails from the South China Agricultural University (SCAU) in Guangzhou, where materials researchers have developed a technology that recharges the plants via sunlight and makes them as bright as a night-light and with many of th

The Galaxy S25 FE is here, but I’d rather get the Pixel 9a

The Galaxy S25 FE has arrived, and there’s a lot to like about it. You get a powerful chipset, premium features like an IP rating and wireless charging, a promised seven years of software support, and a lot more for a starting price of $650. It’s a phone I’ll often recommend over the next 12 months because the FE series strikes an excellent balance between performance and price. However, it faces stiff competition from the Pixel 9a, Google’s mid-range phone, which — at least for me — is a better

Type checking is a symptom, not a solution

What if the programming industry’s decades-long obsession with type checking is solving the wrong problem entirely? What if our increasingly sophisticated type systems—from Haskell’s category theory to Rust’s borrow checker—are elaborate workarounds for fundamental architectural mistakes we’ve been making since the beginning? The software industry has convinced itself that type checking is not just useful, but essential. We’ve built entire programming languages around the premise that catching

Family Baffled By Waymo Robotaxis Constantly Hanging Out in Front of Their House

Waymo robotaxis are making their way to more American cities, but they're not always winning the hearts and minds of the people who live there. The autonomous cars have been spotted blundering the wrong way down a street and causing traffic jams, and residents have quickly grown fed up with their obnoxious back-up noise. They're also, apparently, haunting random locations like a conspicuous stalker. Just ask one Los Angeles couple, Lisa Delgin and Zach Tucker, who claim that ever since a Waymo

Samsung wasn’t even the second-most popular foldable maker in Q2 2025

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung only accounted for third place in foldable phone shipments in Q2 2025, according to Counterpoint Research. HUAWEI was in first place, while Motorola was the runner-up. This report doesn’t take Samsung’s latest foldables into account, as they launched in Q3. Foldable phones only account for a small number of smartphones shipping globally, but a new market share report has revealed some bad news for Samsung for Q2 2025. Counterpoint Research has p

How to watch Apple debut the iPhone 17 lineup at its 'Awe Dropping' event on September 9

September is usually iPhone season, and Apple appears poised to unveil its newest smartphones with its latest showcase, which is set for next week. The fall event has been dubbed "Awe dropping," so we're hoping for some surprising announcements that'll merit the tagline. The whole thing begins on September 9 at 1PM ET/10AM PT. If you want to tune in to hear what Tim Cook and crew have to say about the iPhone 17, you can stream the show on Apple's website or YouTube channel. We've also got the l

Development speed is not a bottleneck

"You are wrong, Pawel. You can vibe code a successful product without any technical skills. Here's one example." I liked the challenge, especially since it referenced a source. What I thought would be a short comment evolved into a series of articles. This post is the last one (or at least I believe so at the time of writing), and I will focus on the product management side. Well, just one aspect of it. The perception that the pace of shipping features (or building in general) is the bottlene

How big are our embeddings now and why?

Sep 1 2025 #embeddings #openai #anthropic #huggingface #dimensionality A few years ago, I wrote a paper on embeddings. At the time, I wrote that 200-300 dimension embeddings were fairly common in industry, and that adding more dimensions during training would create diminishing returns for the effectiveness of your downstream tasks (classification, recommendation, semantic search, topic modeling, etc.) I wrote the paper to be resilient to changes in the industry since it focuses on fundamenta

Google fined €2.95bn by EU for abusing advertising dominance

Google fined €2.95bn by EU for abusing advertising dominance 6 minutes ago Share Save Liv McMahon Technology reporter Share Save Reuters Google has been fined €2.95bn (£2.5bn) by the EU for allegedly abusing its power in the ad tech sector - the technology which determines which adverts should be placed online and where. The European Commission said on Friday the tech giant had breached competition laws by favouring its own products for displaying online ads, to the detriment of rivals. It co

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is enough of a hit that Samsung is cranking up production

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has raised September Galaxy Z Fold 7 production to 260,000 units, up 60,000 from earlier plans. August Fold 7 output hit 430,000 units, well above the 170,000 initially targeted, while Flip 7 production fell short. Shipments could exceed Samsung’s 2.4 million-unit goal for 2025. Samsung’s top-end foldable might come with a heavy price tag, but that hasn’t stopped demand from forcing the company to build more. Samsung has reportedly raised its Sep

With three new upcoming launches, Apple products will push prices higher than ever

Apple has always been unapologetic in its premium positioning. You know that when you buy Apple, you’re going to be paying a higher price than for almost any competing product, and are willing to do so for the perceived benefits of this – whether that’s the quality, the style, or the ecosystem. The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook. But we’re also moving into an era where three new product launches a
