Eli Lilly’s Obesity Pill Shows Promising Weight Loss in New Results

An experimental pill made by Eli Lilly led to average weight loss of more than 12 percent of body weight in individuals with obesity, according to initial trial results announced by the drugmaker on Thursday. The pill is meant to be taken daily and would be an alternative to the company’s popular anti-obesity drug Zepbound, a once-weekly injectable drug. Called orforglipron, it’s part of a growing class of drugs known as GLP-1s, which include Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy. The drugs mimic a

Hubble Network plans massive satellite upgrade to create global Bluetooth layer

Hubble Network’s satellite-powered Bluetooth network is getting a big upgrade. The Seattle-based startup, which aims to bring to enterprises what Apple’s Find My has brought to consumers, has built a powerful new phased-array receiver that will enable what Hubble CEO Alex Haro calls a “true Bluetooth layer around the Earth.” This advanced payload will fly on two massive new satellites from four-year-old Muon Space, called MuSat XL, which are slated to launch in 2027. The first two MuSat XL spa

Samsung will soon make chips for iPhones in the US

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple has said that Samsung’s US factory will make chips for a number of its products, including iPhones. It’s unclear if Apple is referring to its A series chips that are the heart and soul of iPhones. Samsung has historically produced A series chips for Apple, but it’s been a while since anyone but TSMC manufactured iPhone chips. Apple says Samsung’s facility will supply chips that “optimize power and performance of Apple products.” Apple has announce

Apple Watch Ultra 3 sounds like it will be very much worth the wait

Last year, Apple was rumored to launch a new Apple Watch Ultra—but it didn’t. Instead, we only got a black finish for the existing Ultra 2. Now, with an Apple Watch Ultra 3 upgrade truly around the corner, it’s increasingly sounding like it will be very much worth the wait. Two-year wait for Apple Watch Ultra 3 will result in bigger upgrades As far as Apple products go, Apple Watch Ultra is a relative newcomer. The first model launched in 2022, with a second-gen landing a year later in 2023.

Debounce

Debouncing, in the context of programming, means to discard operations that occur too close together during a specific interval, and consolidate them into a single invocation. Debouncing is very similar to throttling. The key difference is that throttling enforces limits on continuous operations, while debouncing waits for invocations to stop for a specific time to consolidate many noisy invocations into one single invocation. A typical use case of debouncing is when responding to user input.

Cracking the Vault: How we found zero-day flaws in HashiCorp Vault

Introduction: when the trust model can’t be trusted Secrets vaults are the backbone of digital infrastructure. They store the credentials, tokens, and certificates that govern access to systems, services, APIs, and data. They’re not just a part of the trust model, they are the trust model. In other words, if your vault is compromised, your infrastructure is already lost. Driven by the understanding that vaults are high-value targets for attackers, our research team at Cyata set out to conduct

Tornado Cash sold crypto “privacy”; the US saw “money laundering.”

"Crypto mixers" exist because of a peculiar feature of cryptocurrencies—most are fully traceable using their public blockchain ledgers. To provide more privacy to crypto account owners, a mixer will let people toss their crypto into a large pool, where it is "mixed" with other people's crypto. At a later date, each crypto owner can choose to withdraw their money from the pool into a new, anonymous wallet, thus making the movement of the crypto harder to track. Of course, the obfuscation doesn't

This $100 discount makes the Motorola Razr 2025 my favorite budget flip phone

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola Razr (2025) I absolutely love flip phones, mainly because I am a fan of smaller devices. There’s also the novelty factor; these are really cool and always spark conversations. My main issue is that they also tend to be very expensive. Things are changing, though, and there are now very accessible devices with a foldable screen. If I had to spend my hard-earned money, I would go for the Motorola Razr 2025, which is now $599.99 thanks to a $100 discount. B

iPhone 17 cases may have a new feature

When Apple unveils the iPhone 17 lineup next month, it seems like we’ll also see a new version of Apple’s first-party protective cases as well. If the latest rumors are true, the iPhone 17 case lineup will take a design cue from the AirPods Pro 2 charging case. It appears Apple is planning to add support for an optional lanyard loop to its official iPhone 17 cases. That’s according to leakers Majin Bu and DuanRui. Apple already includes a similar lanyard loop slot on the AirPods Pro 2 charging

You know more Finnish than you think

Linguistics illuminates the linguistically obscure – or so I’ve always thought. It’s a common theme of my online output that a little bit of historical linguistics goes a long way, making helpful connections and breaking down psychological barriers. This theme was present in two old posts of mine that used etymology to elucidate two Old English texts, namely Beowulf and The Wanderer. Now, as an unplanned third installment, allow me to show you how familiar a whole language can be. This is the i

When Will the iPhone 17 Be Released? We're Running Down the Possibilities

It's fun to speculate on which features the new iPhone 17 lineup will have, but what we really want to know is when we can get our hands on Apple's latest editions of its flagship smartphone. As we get closer to September and the traditional announcement date, iPhone rumors are arriving more frequently. Once the rumored iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max are revealed, we'll be able to confirm speculation about colors, display, cameras and more. We'll also learn how much the new iPhone wi

Sonos confirms tariffs will increase its prices this year

Conrad: With respect to our operations, like many companies, the most significant near-term challenge has been the uncertain tariff environment. As a reminder short of a few accessories, and our passive speaker partnership with Sonance (I think this is what he said?) we do all of our us-bound manufacturing in Vietnam and Malaysia. We talked last quarter about the contingency planning we underwent to minimize the effects of terrorists on our business, while also doing what we can to limit the d

Trump vows 100% tariff on chips, unless companies are building in the U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during an event with Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Oval Office of the White House on August 6, 2025 in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will impose a 100% tariff on imports of semiconductors and chips, but not for companies that are "building in the United States." The announcement of new sector-specific tariffs shows Trump ratcheting up his efforts to pressure businesses to manufacture their products in the U.S. But specifics about the p

Scientists Find Evidence That Aging Is Contagious

Image by Getty / Futurism Studies Eventually, aging comes for us all — but new evidence suggests that in key ways, it may be a contagious condition. In a provocative new study published in the journal Metabolism, scientists from South Korea and the United States found, while doing studies on human cells and with mice, that injecting the DNA messenger protein HMGB1 from an older individual can result in processes that very much look like aging. Though it typically lives within cell nuclei and

Woman wins $200,000 case after her phone started a house fire while charging

TL;DR A woman has been awarded the equivalent of $200,000 after her phone caused a house fire while charging. The court ruled the LG K8 was defective and failed to meet safety expectations. Most of the payout will go to her insurer, but she also received compensation for injuries. We’ve heard multiple reports of the Google Pixel 6a melting down over recent months, but nothing as nightmarish as this. For one woman, her plugged-in Android phone caused a house fire, eventually leading to a six-f

There's a Tea app for men, and it also has security problems

Tea bills itself as a safety dating app for women, allowing users to anonymously share details about men they have met. A new app called TeaOnHer has emerged that attempts to flip the script, with men sharing information about women they date. And while Tea drew scrutiny last month after a data breach revealed user information, including potentially identifying details such as phone numbers and personal anecdotes, the copycat app seems to be suffering from the same problem.
