What Makes a Phone Ethical? I Talked With Someone Who Builds One to Find Out

Fairphone is a David among Goliaths in the phone world. We're talking about a tiny Dutch social enterprise that shipped just over 100,000 phones in 2023, versus tech giants such as Apple and Samsung, which routinely ship hundreds of millions of phones annually. On Wednesday, Fairphone CEO Raymond van Eck unveiled the latest device, the sixth generation, in its family of phones. Intended to be known simply as the Fairphone (but in reality more likely to be referred to as the Fairphone 6), this m

AI is ruining houseplant communities online

“Maybe you could organize your plants like this,” my friend’s text message said, with an attached photo of white pots of plants floating midair in front of a huge, sunny window. As a newbie plant collector, I do need to organize my growing collection of flora, but not like this — the photo was AI-generated and the plants depicted were not real. Even as a beginner, I was able to identify issues with the photo. Obviously, my plants cannot physically defy gravity, but most egregiously, the organiz

'Ironheart' Release Schedule: When to Watch Episodes 4, 5 and 6 on Disney Plus

Following her debut in Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri Williams has her own streaming TV show: Ironheart.

Ironheart's first three episodes are now streaming on Disney Plus. Pulled from the pages of Marvel's comic books, the young inv

9 Best Foods for Headaches and Migraines, According to Dietitians and Doctors

Our diet can significantly impact our health, which is why it's important to ensure it's balanced. Certain foods can also be incorporated to target specific parts of the body or medical conditions, like headaches and migraines.

Don't delete Netflix yet: I used these codes to find shows I didn't know existed

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Netflix wasn't the first streaming platform, but it was the first to make video-on-demand mainstream. Fourteen years ago, as it phased out its mailing service, it took a massive bite out of the global market. Also: Slow Roku TV? This 30-second fix made my system run like new again Remember that? Physical DVDs showing up in your actual mailbox -- the one at the end of your driveway (or your hallway)? To my surprise, that was still actually a thing up until late 2023. Whaaat? S

Adopt or die? How Southeast Asian small businesses are using AI to stay competitive

ASEAN member nations' flags outside the Pullman Hotel, the venue for the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' retreat meeting in Luang Prabang, Laos, in January 2024. Tang Chhin Sothytang Chhin Sothy | Afp | Getty Images The U.S. and China are usually top of mind when it comes to artificial intelligence and generative AI. But Southeast Asia's small businesses have huge potential that shouldn't be ignored, experts say. In fact, it's a matter of survival, according to Jochen Wirtz, a professor of marketing a

Define policy forbidding use of AI code generators

docs: define policy forbidding use of AI code generators There has been an explosion of interest in so called AI code generators. Thus far though, this is has not been matched by a broadly accepted legal interpretation of the licensing implications for code generator outputs. While the vendors may claim there is no problem and a free choice of license is possible, they have an inherent conflict of interest in promoting this interpretation. More broadly there is, as yet, no broad consensus on th

James Bond Has Shaken Up a New Director: ‘Dune’ Helmer Denis Villeneuve

The trade has a very excited statement from Villeneuve to go with the news: “Some of my earliest movie-going memories are c

Due to a Price Agreement with Samsung, Amazon Can’t Publicly Show the Huge Galaxy S25+ Discount

Amazon typically has deals with major brands such that they do not destroy the luxury brand image by offering massive discounts. That means technically, you can have a “hidden price” on the product page and you will only see the real discount if you add the product to your cart. This is exactly the situation with the Galaxy S25+, the clear best-seller among the S25 series. The Galaxy S25+ has come out earlier this year and is now at a record-low price, way below that on Samsung’s own website. C

RFK Jr. Wants All Americans to Use Wearables to Track Their Health: What That Means

Many Americans already track health statistics like heart rate and breathing patterns on tech-savvy accessories. But now, the federal government is getting involved. On June 24, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced "one of the largest HHS campaigns in history" to encourage the use of wearables to track health conditions, a trend CNET has recently covered. Kennedy is referring to the many different bands, watches, rings and even clothes that use technology to track human vital signs.

Indian drone startup Raphe mPhibr raises $100M as military UAV demand soars

The recent India-Pakistan war is a prime example,

IBM's Dmitry Krotov wants to crack the 'physics' of memory

Dmitry “Dima” Krotov was among the first to congratulate AI pioneer, John Hopfield, on his Nobel Prize in Physics last fall. “John, wow!” he texted Hopfield on the morning the award became public. “Just WOW!!” As Hopfield’s close collaborator, Krotov has helped explain to the world following the announcement how Hopfield’s single-layer digital neural network led to the “deep” networks in use today. At Princeton, the two researchers invented something called dense associative memory, which lifte

All childhood vaccines in question after first meeting of RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel

A federal vaccine panel entirely hand-selected by health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gathered for its first meeting Wednesday—and immediately announced that it would re-evaluate the entire childhood vaccination schedule, as well as the one for adults. The meeting overall was packed with anti-vaccine talking points and arguments from the new panel members, confirming public health experts' fears that the once-revered panel is now critically corrupted and that Kenned

Trump Phone website trades ‘Made in the USA’ claim for patriotic vibes

TL;DR Trump Mobile has removed its “Made in the USA” claim from the T1 Phone product page. The website now uses vague patriotic language like “American-Proud Design.” Key specs also appear to have changed. When the Trump Organization launched its gold T1 Phone last week, it made clear that the phone was “Made in the USA.” That phrase has now quietly disappeared from the Trump Mobile website, and it’s not the only early claim that appears to have changed. As The Verge spotted, the banner that

Aaron Sorkin is making a second 'Social Network' movie

We're getting yet another Hollywood sequel. Deadline reports that Aaron Sorkin will be directing The Social Network II, a follow-up to the film that chronicled the development of Facebook and the ensuing lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg. The next movie will take its inspiration from a 2021 investigation by The Wall Street Journal into the harms caused by Facebook and the company's failure to address those problems. Sorkin has a long career as a writer, including the screenplay for The Social Net

Hackers turn ScreenConnect into malware using Authenticode stuffing

ConnectWise ScreenConnect is a remote monitoring and management (RMM) software that allows IT admins and managed service providers (MSPs) to troubleshoot devices remotely. When a ScreenConnect installer is built, it can be customized to include the remote server the client should connect to, what text is shown in the di
