Tariff Impacts Are Real: I Found 13 Companies With Official Price Hikes

Higher prices for a lot of popular products seem inevitable on our current trajectory. James Martin/CNET In a lot of ways and for a lot of products in the US, the biggest impacts of President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff plans are still a ways off in the near future. Still, numerous companies have already hiked prices or said that they will be increased in the near future -- including, most recently, a popular and CNET-approved brand of smart lights. The fact of the matter is that tariffs

Fancy Airplane Seats Have Nowhere Left to Go—So What Now?

Not so long ago, direct aisle access along with the ability to lie horizontally were the hallmarks of comfort on airplanes if on entering you happened to be turning right and not left. Fast-forward a decade and the prevailing new high-water mark is now the private suite with sliding doors, expansive entertainment screens and even double beds. Qatar Airways’ Qsuite allows four passengers to dine together face-to-face, while Virgin Atlantic’s Retreat Suite offers an oversized version of business

Mattress Buying: In-Store or Online?

For stains, cracking, sagging, dents, or anything of that nature that happen over time, you’re probably out of luck, as this is very much in the early-on sort of scenario. Similarly, let’s say that the stitching of the cover comes undone or it’s clear that the bed wasn’t put together the way it should’ve been, as it’s falling apart. This would be considered a “manufacturing defect” and also should be covered. Here’s one very important piece of information to keep in mind if you find yourself de

Staples Union & Scale FlexFit Desk Converter Review: Reliable Riser

The included keyboard rest is optional to install, though the whole thing is designed to work together. It's a little annoying. I wish you could roll the tray into the riser to hide it, which would go a long way in making the FlexFit look a little more elegant, and could also help with storage. You also can't adjust the height of the tray, so while I didn't have issues typing on a keyboard, I found my wrist cramping up a little when using my Apple Magic Trackpad because it was a little too low.

6 Best Mesh Wi-Fi Systems (2025), Tested and Reviewed

The Quality of Service feature lets you prioritize activities like gaming or streaming, or set priority devices. Importantly, you can split the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands to show as two separate Wi-Fi networks. This is handy, as some smart home devices only operate on the former band. Similarly, there's a mixed mode for WPA2 and WPA3 security. Some devices don't work with the newer WPA3 standard, and some routers force you to choose one or the other, which can lead to issues. This mode ensures all

Tesla says it delivered its first car autonomously from factory to customer

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. This might be a bigger deal than the robotaxis. Tesla said it completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery from factory to customer. A video posted on X shows the vehicle — a Tesla Model Y — leaving the company’s Austin Gigafactory, driving on the highway, passing through suburban sprawl and residential neighborho

The Supreme Court just upended internet law, and I have questions

is a senior tech and policy editor focused on VR, online platforms, and free expression. Adi has covered video games, biohacking, and more for The Verge since 2011. Age verification is perhaps the hottest battleground for online speech, and the Supreme Court just settled a pivotal question: does using it to gate adult content violate the First Amendment in the US? For roughly the past 20 years the answer has been “yes” — now, as of Friday, it’s an unambiguous “no.” Justice Clarence Thomas’ opi

Anthropic’s Claude AI became a terrible business owner in experiment that got ‘weird’

For those of you wondering if AI agents can truly replace human workers, do yourself a favor and read the blog post that documents Anthropic’s “Project Vend.” Researchers at Anthropic and AI safety company Andon Labs put an instance of Claude Sonnet 3.7 in charge of an office vending machine, with a mission to make a profit. And, like an episode of “The Office,” hilarity ensued. They named the AI agent Claudius, equipped it with a web browser capable of placing product orders and an email addr

The ANBERNIC RG Slide is the Xperia Play I wish I had 15 years ago

ANBERNIC RG Slide The RG Slide is one of the most unique devices ANBERNIC has ever made, and it offers the right mix of nostalgic fun and solid performance to be a compelling choice for retro emulation. While many people are nostalgic for flip phones, sliders are the way to go for me. Sure, I had a basic flip phone in the early 2000s, but I didn’t really get excited about phones until I got my first sliding phone with a full QWERTY keyboard in 2006. That satisfying THWOMP made me feel like I wa

I finally found the ultimate USB-C charger for traveling

ZDNET's key takeaways Perfect way to share 100W of power between three devices. This cable does exactly what it says it will on the box - something that a lot of cables can't claim.

Missing Heritability: Much More Than You Wanted to Know

The Story So Far The mid-20th century was the golden age of nurture. Psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and the spirit of the ‘60s convinced most experts that parents, peers, and propaganda were the most important causes of adult personality. Starting in the 1970s, the pendulum swung the other way. Twin studies shocked the world by demonstrating that most behavioral traits - including socially relevant traits like IQ - were substantially genetic. Typical estimates for adult IQ found it was about 60%

LLMs bring new nature of abstraction – up and sideways

Like most loudmouths in this field, I've been paying a lot of attention to the role that generative AI systems may play in software development. I think the appearance of LLMs will change software development to a similar degree as the change from assembler to the first high-level programming languages. The further development of languages and frameworks increased our abstraction level and productivity, but didn't have that kind of impact on the nature of programming. LLMs are making that degree

Use Xfinity Mobile on a Pixel phone? You may be getting a Wi-Fi Speed Boost (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Xfinity Mobile’s WiFi PowerBoost lets your phone access Wi-Fi speeds in excess of the internet plan you’re paying for. So far it’s supported iPhones and Samsung Galaxy flagships and mid-rangers, but not Android phones at large. New settings for “Xfinity Speed Boost” in Google’s Adaptive Connectivity Service app suggest availability could be improving. Going online with your smartphone over a Wi-Fi connection can offer a lot of advantages compared to

Multi-Stage Programming with Splice Variables

Multi-Stage Programming with Splice Variables This is an interactive demonstration of the ICFP 2025 paper Multi-Stage Programming with Splice Variables by Tsung-Ju Chiang and Ningning Xie. What is multi-stage programming? It's a technique where programs generate other programs. Instead of writing generic code that handles all cases at runtime, you generate specialized, optimized code tailored to specific situations. For example, instead of a power function that uses a loop, you could generate

Universal Asked That Scenes Be Added Back Into ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’

There’s a reason why the biggest, most famous filmmakers in the world all want “final cut” of their movies. It’s because they don’t want anyone, least of all a studio executive, to have an impact on their vision. More often than not, when studios meddle in editing, it’s to make films shorter. However, the exact opposite happened on the new Jurassic film, Jurassic World Rebirth. Rebirth started shooting in June 2024, finished in October 2024 and, right after Christmas, director Gareth Edwards wa

Android 16 can warn you that you might be connected to a fake cell tower

TL;DR Android 16 is adding a new security feature that can warn you when your phone might be connected to a fake or insecure mobile network created by a “stingray” device. This feature alerts you to unencrypted connections or when the network requests your phone’s identifiers, which can help detect when surveillance might be happening. Due to new hardware requirements, this protection will likely only be on new devices launching with Android 16, such as the upcoming Pixel 10. There are many s

How the Senate's ban on state AI regulation imperils internet access

ANDREY DENISYUK/Getty The Trump administration's tax bill -- also called its "big, beautiful bill" -- which rounds up key pieces of the president's agenda, also includes a rule that would prevent states from enforcing their own AI legislation for 10 years, if passed. After an initial budget hiccup, Republican senators successfully amended the rule to comply with budgetary requirements by adding that states trying to enforce AI regulations would not receive federal broadband funding. Here's why
