How to Back Up Your iPhone to iCloud, MacOS, or Windows (2025)

Your iPhone is so much more than just a screen for texting. Smartphones are how we get work done, stay on top of the crazy news cycle, rock out, keep in touch with friends and family, and capture life’s most important moments. Carrying all of that information in our pockets is incredibly powerful, and it makes getting through our days a little easier. It also means that your most important data can get lost when you forget your phone on the train or have an unfortunate spat with the sidewalk. I

Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

I’d buy a BlackBerry reboot in 2025, but would you?

🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Even though the original company is no longer with us, I believe there are two ways to remember the BlackBerry brand. Either you grimace while recalling the final struggle of uninspired Android devices. Or, you’re like me, and smile back at the 2010s and the brand’s heyday with glee. One of my first “smartphones” was a Curve 8320

Pnpm has a new setting to stave off supply chain attacks

There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new setting that delays the installation of newly released dependencies. In most cases, such attacks are discovered quickly and the malicious versions are removed from the registry within an hour. The new setting is called minimumReleaseAge . It specifies the number of minutes that must pass after a version is published before

Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year

For nearly 11 years, Hack Club - a nonprofit that provides coding education and community to teenagers worldwide - has used Slack as the tool for communication. We weren’t freeloaders. A few years ago, when Slack transitioned us from their free nonprofit plan to a $5,000/year arrangement, we happily paid. It was reasonable, and we valued the service they provided to our community. However, two days ago, Slack reached out to us and said that if we don’t agree to pay an extra $50k this week and $

One Token to rule them all – Obtaining Global Admin in every Entra ID tenant

While preparing for my Black Hat and DEF CON talks in July of this year, I found the most impactful Entra ID vulnerability that I will probably ever find. This vulnerability could have allowed me to compromise every Entra ID tenant in the world (except probably those in national cloud deployments). If you are an Entra ID admin reading this, yes that means complete access to your tenant. The vulnerability consisted of two components: undocumented impersonation tokens, called “Actor tokens”, that

The DOGE Subcommittee Hearing on Weather Modification Was a Nest of Conspiracy Theorizing

“What this whole debate comes down to is who controls the skies,” Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia told the audience at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday. “Do we believe in God and that he has dominion over his perfect creation of planet Earth? Do we believe that he has given us everything we need to survive as a civilization since the beginning of time? Or do you believe in man’s claim of authority over the weather, based on scientists that have only been

Democrats are investigating Trump crypto advisor David Sacks over a possible SGE violation

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Representative Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) are leading a group of congressional Democrats in investigating White House Special Advisor David Sacks for possibly serving in his position for longer than he's allowed. Sacks, a former PayPal executive and venture capitalist at Craft Ventures, was originally picked by President Donald Trump to be the "White House A.I. & Crypto Czar" in 2024. "Any effort to stay beyond the time limits imposed on you as a Special Gove

macOS Tahoe Incompatible with Mac Studio M3 Ultra

If you have a Mac Studio M3 Ultra and want to upgrade it to run macOS 26.0 Tahoe, then I’m afraid you’re going to have wait for Apple to build a new release that will install on your Mac. I’m very grateful to Ken who has tried unsuccessfully to upgrade from 15.7 to 26.0. There are plenty of others reporting exactly the same: the upgrade goes well until towards the end, then aborts and the Mac is restarted back into 15.7. The problem seems to originate from an error in its neural engine driver.

You can hold on to your butts thanks to DNA that evolved in fish

Evolution has adapted the digits of mammals for an enormous range of uses, from our opposable thumbs to the spindly digits that support bat wings to the robust bones that support the hoofs of horses. But how we got digits in the first place hasn't been entirely clear. The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins. Despite this uncertainty, we have identified some ge

Something Weird Is Going on With the Sun, Scientists Find

The Sun — usually so predictable — is exhibiting some surprising behavior and that has scientists very intrigued. Astronomers had predicted that our host star was entering a period of relative quiet back in 2008, but NASA scientists have published a new study in The Astrophysical Journal Letters that found that the Sun has instead defied expectations by becoming more active, with increased sunspots and solar flares. "All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activi

ShinyHunters claims 1.5 billion Salesforce records stolen in Drift hacks

The ShinyHunters extortion group claims to have stolen over 1.5 billion Salesforce records from 760 companies using compromised Salesloft Drift OAuth tokens. For the past year, the threat actors have been targeting Salesforce customers in data theft attacks using social engineering and malicious OAuth applications to breach Salesforce instances and download data. The stolen data is then used to extort companies into paying a ransom to prevent the data from being publicly leaked. These attacks

Parents Of Kids Allegedly Killed and Harmed by AI Give Emotional Testimony on Capitol Hill, Urge Regulation

Parents who allege their children were abused, physically harmed, and even killed by AI chatbots gave emotional testimonies on Capitol Hill on Tuesday during a hearing about risks to young users posed by the tech — all while urging lawmakers to enforce regulation in a landscape that remains a digital Wild West. There were visible tears in the room as grieving parents recounted their painful stories. According to the lawmakers on the US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, the b

Health Connect can now track your steps using your Android phone

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is officially adding native step tracking to Health Connect, as confirmed by Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2. The company announced the change today, and a new banner and “Devices” page within the app now explicitly state Health Connect will track your phone’s steps for other apps to use. This marks a significant shift for the platform, turning it from a simple data hub into a fitness tracking service. Last week, we reported that Google was bringing nat

Infinite Mac: Resource Fork Roundtripping

One of the frequent emails that I get about Infinite Mac is “I’ve been copying over these files to every mac I’ve owned for the past 20 (or 30 or 40) years, how can I load them into your site?” While there’s been a “The Outside World” drive from the very beginning, all it can do is a best-effort import/export using available browser APIs. Classic Mac OS used resource forks for structured data and stored additional metadata in the file system (where it belongs). Modern macOS still supports all of

The Asus gaming laptop ACPI firmware bug

The ASUS Gaming Laptop ACPI Firmware Bug: A Deep Technical Investigation If You're Here, You Know The Pain You own a high-end ASUS ROG laptop perhaps a Strix, Scar, or Zephyrus. It's specifications are impressive: an RTX 30/40 series GPU, a top-tier Intel processor, and plenty of RAM. Yet, it stutters during basic tasks like watching a YouTube video, audio crackles and pops on Discord calls, the mouse cursor freezes for a split second, just long enough to be infuriating. You've likely tried a

A MacBook Pro touchscreen? About damn time

It's somewhat ironic that Apple, the company that popularized the use of capacitive touchscreens with the iPhone and iPad, has been staunchly opposed to bringing our fingers anywhere near MacBook screens. Meanwhile, Microsoft and PC makers jumped at the opportunity to build touchscreen laptops years ago. The tablet-focused Windows 8 was a failure, sure, but touchscreens led to excellent convertible notebooks and hybrid tablets like the Surface lineup. Now, according to a new rumor from longtime

I found a 4K action camera that competes with my GoPro (and it's on sale)

DJI Osmo Action 4. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Multiple DJI Osmo Action 4 packages are on sale at Amazon. The Standard Combo has been discounted to $249, the Adventure Combo has dropped to $349, and the Essentials Combo is down to $239. DJI might not be the first name on people's lips when it comes to action cameras, but the company that's better known for its drones also has a really solid line of action cameras. While it's no longer the latest model in its lineup, the Osmo Action 4 camera,

A touchscreen MacBook may finally launch next year - what we know

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways A touchscreen MacBook Pro with OLED could arrive by late 2026. A more affordable MacBook with iPhone chip won't get touchscreen. iPads should still be fine, despite sharing features with MacBooks. For years, there have been rumors of Apple working on adding a touchscreen to its MacBook lineup. In 2023, Bloomberg reported active development of the device, which was first slated to launch in 2025. I

Optimizing ClickHouse for Intel's 280 core processors

This is a guest post from Jiebin Sun, Zhiguo Zhou, Wangyang Guo and Tianyou Li, performance optimization engineers at Intel Shanghai. Intel's latest processor generations are pushing the number of cores in a server to unprecedented levels - from 128 P-cores per socket in Granite Rapids to 288 E-cores per socket in Sierra Forest, with future roadmaps targeting 200+ cores per socket. These numbers multiply on multi-socket systems, such servers may consist of 400 and more cores. The paradigm of "m

RFK Jr. Claimed CDC Was ‘Killing Children’ According to Former Director

Former CDC Director Susan Monarez testified at a combative Senate hearing in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday about the ways that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dismantling scientific expertise at CDC, confirming the worst fears of every American who still cares about science and public health. Monarez, who was fired by President Donald Trump less than a month after being confirmed, told senators that Kennedy told her in August that he was going to change the childhood vaccine schedule in

Meet Macroscope: an AI tool for understanding your code base, fixing bugs

The founders who previously sold their livestreaming video startup Periscope to Twitter are back with a new startup — and no surprise, it’s an AI-focused company this time around. On Wednesday, former Twitter head of product Kayvon Beykpour announced the launch of Macroscope, an AI system aimed at developers and product leaders that summarizes updates to a codebase and catches bugs, among other things. The startup was co-founded by Beykpour, now Macroscope CEO, in July 2023, along with childho

Sen. Warren presses Trump AI and crypto czar Sacks on whether he's overstayed his job

U.S. President Donald Trump sits next to Crypto czar David Sacks at the White House Crypto Summit at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., March 7, 2025. What was meant to be a short-term assignment for venture capitalist David Sacks in President Donald Trump's White House appears to have stretched into something much bigger, according to leading Democratic lawmakers. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M., have teamed up with a number of other progressive poli

Scientists Detect Strange Signal in Gravitational Waves

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or "kick," in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The international team of researchers measured the ripples in the fabric of spacetime, known as gravitational waves, allowing them to get unprecedented insights into the turbulent dynamics of two black holes crashing into each other. The team analyzed data collected by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitatio

A New Look at ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ Reveals an Essential Ingredient: Tight Pants

What binds the Star Wars galaxy together? Is it the Force? The desire for injustice to be rebelled against, for the light to rise against the dark? Well, in the case of a certain kind of ne’er-do-well in pockets of the galaxy… it’s a real tight pair of pants, and now Ryan Gosling stands among their wearers. We previously got a shadowed glimpse at Gosling’s new Star Wars character when Lucasfilm officially unveiled Star Wars: Starfighter‘s beginning of production a few weeks ago. But now directo

From Qubits to Qubucks: Quantum Digital Currency

Quantum computing is often discussed in terms of its potential to revolutionize scientific discovery and to challenge cryptographic paradigms [1], but it could also change our relationship with money. By using quantum states, quantum currency could solve the double-spending problem and address throughput issues associated with distributed ledgers (blockchain), paving the way for the digital cash of the future. Digital Banking vs. Digital Currency To understand quantum currency, we should first
