Entry-level jobs down by a third since launch of ChatGPT

The UK jobs market continued its cautious recovery in May, with annual vacancy growth and rising wages offering signs of resilience despite a modest monthly decline in job postings. However, entry-level opportunities have taken a significant hit, dropping by nearly a third since the advent of widely available generative AI tools at the end of 2022.

‘Foundation’ Returns With Its Best Season Yet

Foundation is not a show that lends itself to casual viewing. Its nuances and details, not to mention its constantly shifting settings, mean you must pay close attention to understand what’s happening. It’s also not really a show you can decide to start watching midway through, something to consider ahead of its third season premiere. But the rewards are worth it: it’s wildly entertaining—thanks to its writing, layered world-building, and performances—and while it’s a show that deals with very

Apple is reportedly working on a bunch of new XR devices

Nothing fans are mixed on the Phone 3’s leaked design, but what do you think?

Nothing is expected to launch the Nothing Phone 3 tomorrow (July 1), and we already know that the phone will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 50MP periscope camera. However, Android Headlines posted apparent Nothing Phone 3 renders last week (seen above), and it certainly seems to have drawn a polarizing response online. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative, with people calling it “ugly” and “awful.” One Redditor even called it an “abomina

Canada caves to Trump and rescinds its digital service tax on big tech

Canada has folded in its battle with US President Donald Trump over tariffs by cancelling its proposed digital services tax (DST) on big tech companies, the government announced. On Friday, Trump ended trade talks over the levy, which he called "a direct and blatant attack on our country." However, discussions have resumed now that the DST is gone, according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The DST has been in effect since last year but Canada was due to collect the first payments totall

Moratorium on state AI laws set to pass, with some exemptions

If there's one thing the AI industry needs it's more regulation. Yet, soon individual US states might not have much say in what AI companies can and can't do thanks to Trump pleasing senators. That's right, an AI-friendly amendment to the president's tax legislation is on the road to approval — despite concerns that its shoehorning is illegal. The clause would prevent states from legislating the AI industry for five years, Bloomberg reports. Only states that cooperate will be allowed to access s

FBI: Cybercriminals steal health data posing as fraud investigators

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned Americans of cybercriminals impersonating health fraud investigators to steal their sensitive information. As the federal law enforcement agency cautioned in a Friday public service announcement, scammers posing as "legitimate health insurers and their investigative team members" are emailing or messaging potential victims to pressure them into providing personal or health data that can later be used for fraudulent purposes.

This Debian-based Linux distro is an overlooked and user-friendly gem

Jack Wallen/ZDNET I spend a lot of time looking for Linux distributions that fit in certain niches, and one of the most important niches is those open-source operating systems that can serve the general public. When looking for such distributions, I tend to consider those based on Ubuntu first, which one might think is limiting, but there are hundreds of distributions with that base. Every so often, however, I run into a Debian-based distribution that fits the bill. That makes perfect sense, g

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority If you know me, you know that I love traveling, I enjoy visiting fun places, and I try to be as organized about all of this as I can. That’s why I use the wonderful Wanderlog to plan my trips, but since I don’t pay for the app’s premium sub, I have to manage my reservation documents separately.
