Coinbase shares tumble as second-quarter revenue disappoints

Coinbase shares fell Thursday as second-quarter revenue fell shy of analysts' estimates. Gains in the cryptocurrency exchange's subscription revenue failed to offset weaker trading volumes. In the quarter ended June 30, Coinbase net income rose to $1.43 billion, or $5.14 per share, from $36.13 million, or 14 cents per share, a year ago. Earnings in the latest period benefited from a gain $1.5 billion related its Circle investment and $362 million from its crypto investment portfolio. On an adj

SEC debuts 'Project Crypto' to bring U.S. financial markets 'on chain'

The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday debuted "Project Crypto," an initiative to modernize securities rules and regulations to allow for crypto-based trading. "To achieve President Trump's vision of making America the crypto capital of the world, the SEC must holistically consider the potential benefits and risks of moving our markets from an off-chain environment to an on-chain one," SEC chair Paul Atkins said in remarks to an "American Leadership in the Digital Finance Revolution

Should you turn on Adaptive Power on iOS 26? Here's my advice after testing it

Does iOS 26's Adaptive Power Mode work? Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The new Adaptive Power Mode in iOS 26 seems to noticeably improve battery life. The performance hit from activating this feature appears to be negligible. Be aware, though, that the iOS 26 public beta seems quite crashy right now. One of the features that I've been testing out in the public beta of iOS 26 is Adaptive Power. This is a feature that monitors battery usage, and when it is higher than usua

The best sports watches of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

Ordinary smartwatches are great for communication and using apps, but dedicated GPS sports watches provide extensive customization of the user experience with a focus on training.

With a sports watch, your sleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and more can hel

Design and development shop the Iconfactory is selling some apps — and AI is partially to blame

At one point, an app called Twitterrific was one of the most popular iPhone apps for browsing Twitter. These days, the company behind that app, and the many apps that followed, is struggling. And AI may partially be to blame. On Wednesday, the company known as the Iconfactory admitted it was at a crossroads and was putting up several of its apps for sale due to a lack of resources.

Viral Video of Robot Arms Folding Laundry Confirmed to Be CGI

Nothing captures the public imagination quite like an outrageous contraption that promises to do your most annoying chores for you. Case in point, this week, a video of a laundry-folding robot called "Lume" went viral on X. It's not a humanoid machine, but a pair of robotic arms that double as two bedside floor lamps — "the first robot designed to blend into your home," a caption reads. In the video, a woman dumps a bunch of blankets onto her bed, before the light fixture automaton unsheathe th

Why Whole Milk Is Making a Comeback, According to Dietitians

In the 1990s, Got Milk? ads became popular because of a marketing campaign created by the California Milk Processor Board, encouraging people to drink more cow's milk through celebrity-packed ads and commercials. The interest eventually dwindled, and soon after, plant-based milks started to gain popularity. Since the 2000s, every version of plant-based milks you can imagine, ranging from soy, oat, almond, pistachio, macadamia, pea -- you name it, probably exists in your supermarket aisle. Now it

In Disturbing Demo, AI-Powered Video Game Characters Panic When Told They're Just Code

Last month, the union SAG-AFTRA, which represents video game performers and other actors, ended a nearly yearlong strike with a tentative agreement on "guardrails" against the use of artificial intelligence. The gaming industry has been in disarray, with publishers chomping at the bit to start harnessing AI to augment — or, realistically, replace — the jobs of voice actors and writers. And we're not just talking about scripts or voice lines generated by an algorithm. In the not-so-distant futu

What is gVisor?

It has been a really long time since I last wrote something here as life happens, things get busier, etc etc. I am now trying to get back into writing things down and here we go! So, imagine a tool or a service that allows you to run some arbitrary code via a shell. Either through a ssh or more commonly, via a web terminal. How does these tools isolate your code from other people’s code and vice versa ? How come you cannot see other people code or processes ? The first thing you probably be th

The Verge’s favorite backpacks, totes, and other bags for 2025

About two years ago, we ran an article in which Verge staffers talked about their favorite backpacks and other bags. It’s time for a new one, and so we asked the staff to tell us about their favorite travel packs, day-to-day bags, and other ways to carry stuff around. Here’s what they told us. Backpacks I like to travel light, but as a dad, that’s almost impossible. I bought a Tom Bihn Synik 30 a few years ago and found that there’s a reason it’s on almost every backpack list you’ll find.

Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge leak hints at a welcome battery change

TL;DR The battery capacities for the Galaxy S26 Pro and the S26 Edge. Both phones get a slight upgrade over the current Galaxy S25 and S25 Edge models. The leak skips out on details about the charging speeds, leaving us wondering if there might be an upgrade on that front. The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be a significant milestone in Samsung’s smartphone journey. We recently learned about the tech giant’s plans to reform its flagship lineup, replacing the base and the Plus models collect

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Buy These 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets

As long as we have kitchens, brands will continue to pump out tools. Many are essential, while others just collect dust or don't perform their duties any better than a great knife or pair of kitchen shears. Instead of chasing every buzzy new appliance, it pays to stick with gear that's versatile, reliable and actually makes your life easier. To help you sort the essentials from the excess, we asked chefs and kitchen pros which gadgets are worth the hype -- and which ones are better left behind.

150 years of Hans Christian Andersen

There once was an ugly duckling, so despised by the other birds that he fled the farm to explore the wider world. But because of his very great ugliness he was taunted there too, until one day he caught his image reflected in a pond and he had turned into a beautiful swan. The Ugly Duckling, first published in 1843, was one of Hans Christian Andersen’s many autobiographical fairy tales: “It matters nothing if one is born in a duck-yard,” he wrote, “if one has lain in a swan’s egg.” Andersen’s s

Show HN: Open-source physical rack-mounted GUI for home lab

The enclosure mounts as a 2U unit. 1U form factor was a bit challenging to pull off but I can try again. I have realized that a lot of people nowadays self-host services and set up home labs with mini racks. A significant challenge I've personally encountered is quickly obtaining health status from self-hosted services and machines, along with having the capability to control my Raspberry Pi headlessly within a mini rack. So, it got me thinking about creating a built-in GUI that users

The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point. It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets. Congress had one shot at passing something before the August recess. Coinbase, the cryptoc

The math is haunted

July 30, 2025 For the past few months, I’ve been writing a lot of Lean. Lean is a programming language, but it is mostly used by mathematicians. That is quite unusual! This is because Lean is designed to formalize mathematics. Lean lets mathematicians treat mathematics as code—break it into structures, theorems and proofs, import each other’s theorems, and put them on GitHub. The big idea is that eventually much of the humanity’s mathematical knowledge might be available as code—statically c

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold dimensions tell a grim yet promising story

Late last week, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 10 series’ dimensions. While all phones in the line-up are getting heavier than their predecessors in the Pixel 9 series, it’s the Pixel 10 Pro Fold that jumped out to me, mostly because it’s eschewing the entire foldable industry’s trend right now. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is slightly narrower than the 9 Pro Fold (while also sporting smaller bezels and a larger outer display), but it’s a little thicker when unfolded, even thicker when fold

Peacock feathers can emit laser beams

Peacock feathers are greatly admired for their bright iridescent colors, but it turns out they can also emit laser light when dyed multiple times, according to a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports. Per the authors, it's the first example of a biolaser cavity within the animal kingdom. As previously reported, the bright iridescent colors in things like peacock feathers and butterfly wings don't come from any pigment molecules but from how they are structured. The scales of chitin

Apple’s Passwords app gets a key iOS 26 fix for a common issue

Apple’s Passwords app launched last year in iOS 18 as a new pre-installed password solution across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more. iOS 26 changes for Passwords are pretty minimal, except there is one key fix that addresses my most common issue after a year of use. Passwords app now saves login version history in iOS 26 For years, Apple has offered password management tools on the iPhone and its other devices. But until iOS 18, those tools were always hidden away inside the Settings app. Fortunat

Trump will end the de minimis exemption for low-cost global shipments

President Donald Trump's latest economic move is to halt the de minimis exemption, a provision that made international shipments of low-value items cheaper. When the exemption ends on August 29, shipments valued at or under $800 will be subject to duty fees when sent by any carrier other than the international postal network, no matter what country they are coming from. According to the White House's announcement of this change, shipments will either be assessed with an ad valorem duty equal to

Emacs: The macOS Bug

Emacs: The MacOS Bug The Context I have been recently roaming. Doing some Zig, doing some Go, some Janet. Some C integration. Should have focused on my project but life threw more at me than I could handle, so I sought… happy distractions.

Hackers plant 4G Raspberry Pi on bank network in failed ATM heist

The UNC2891 hacking group, also known as LightBasin, used a 4G-equipped Raspberry Pi hidden in a bank's network to bypass security defenses in a newly discovered attack. The single-board computer was physically connected to the ATM network switch, creating an invisible channel into the bank's internal network, allowing the attackers to move laterally and deploy backdoors. According to Group-IB, which discovered the intrusion while investigating suspicious activity on the network, the goal of t
