Notion rides AI boom to $500 million in annual revenue, but Microsoft competition looms

OpenAI's public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 is widely viewed as the event that kicked off the generative AI boom, which remains the dominant theme in the tech industry almost three years later. Notion jumped on the bandwagon early. Two weeks before ChatGPT hit the market, the productivity software startup announced its own artificial intelligence feature using an OpenAI model. Notion AI was designed to be a "writing assistant" that could help a user with brainstorming, editing and summa

Microsoft says that its Gaming Copilot will be available throughout the globe, except in mai

Software update shoves ads onto Samsung’s pricey fridges

Days after someone revealed the news on social media, Samsung confirmed today that it is showing advertisements on some US customers’ smart fridges. Samsung said the ads showing on some Family Hub-series fridges are part of a pilot program, but we suspect that they may become more permanent additions to Samsung fridges and/or other types of screen-equipped smart home appliances. In a statement sent to Ars Technica, Samsung confirmed that it is “conducting a pilot program to offer promotions and

Here's Why You Really Taste Wine Before a Server Pours for the Table

Wine service can feel intimidating if you're not experienced with the ritual. The swirling, sniffing, and polite approval after that small initial pour might seem like theater or a simple taste test. However, that preliminary sample serves a specific purpose: verifying the wine's quality. The initial pour allows you to detect whether the wine has spoiled. Bottles can occasionally deteriorate due to poor storage conditions or defective corks, resulting in what's known as "corked" wine. This flaw

American Prairie unlocks another 70k acres in Montana

Public lands and public access are now constantly under threat in the U.S., but there’s still good news to share. Ambitious conservation nonprofit American Prairie has secured its second-largest land purchase and leasing arrangement to date, buying up the 70,000-acre Anchor Ranch in Montana, which had been listed for sale for $35 million. The group bought the land from two billionaire Texas brothers who’d kept the public locked out of one of the only western access roads into adjacent public la

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Is Officially Coming Back for Season 3

We’re still waiting for Born Again‘s sophomore season, but the revived Daredevil continuation has been subject to a bit of behind-the-scenes confusion recently over conflicting comments casting doubt on the show’s future.

Missing your pre-order promo credit on T-Mobile’s Go5G Plus plan? Check your email for the fix

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile customers on the Go5G Plus plan reported missing part of their promotional credits during iPhone 17 pre-orders.

44 of the Best Movies on Netflix You Should Stream Right Now

In the 10 years since releasing its first original film, Beasts of No Nation, Netflix has evolved into a power player in the movie scene. It's earned honors at award shows including the Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmys. The streaming giant won three Oscars in 2025, and action-thriller Rebel Ridge just nabbed an Emmy Award this week for Best TV Movie (the sentimental Vince Vaughn comedy Nonnas was nominated in the same category and is worth a watch, too). Popular films like KPop Demon Hunters, wh

TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 takes place October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco, bringing together 10,000+ startup and VC leaders to shape the future of tech. Few embody what it means to build with discipline in a tough market better than Chris Britt, co-founder and CEO of Chime. What began as a scrappy fintech challenger has grown into one of the rare companies to go public in today’s challenging environment. In his session, Building a Company that Lasts, Britt will share the lessons behind

‘Him’ Is Filled With Great, Creepy Ideas, But Never Quite Brings It All Home

Usually, there are sports movies and there are horror movies, and the two don’t really cross over. In Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask, but he doesn’t take a slap shot. A killer might swing a baseball bat, but they aren’t stepping up to the plate. Him, the new film from Justin Tipping, is one of the first, and maybe biggest, films to ever blend horror and sports, which, just for that, is worth being excited about. The film uses the violence of football, as well as the hero wor

A new Megalopolis documentary reveals why it turned out like that

It’s been almost exactly a year since I first saw Megalopolis, and the last 12 months haven’t been kind to Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic. It mostly bewildered critics and audiences, earned back just a fraction of its $120 million budget, and still isn’t easily accessible via streaming or a Blu-ray release. Megalopolis is a film that the Godfather director had been thinking about for decades before the cameras started rolling, and that post-release chaos is nothing compared to what a

Deliveroo founder Will Shu to step down as CEO after DoorDash takeover

LONDON — Deliveroo CEO Will Shu is set to step down from the food delivery company he co-founded over a decade ago. Shu, who established Deliveroo in 2013 with childhood friend Greg Orlowski, said Thursday that he will step down as CEO after its takeover by U.S. rival DoorDash is completed. DoorDash announced its deal to buy the British online takeout platform in May. The acquisition values Deliveroo at £2.9 billion ($4 billion). "I have decided that now is the right time for me to step down,

Apple Music deal: Get the Family Plan free for three months

Apple Music is running a promo in which new subscribers can get three free months of the Family Plan tier. That's a savings of $51, which is nothing to sneeze at. After this lengthy free trial is up, it costs $17 per month. The Family Plan allows six different users to access the platform.

A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I tur

This overlooked Gmail setting fixed my biggest problem with the Android app

Joe Maring / Android Authority 2025 has been a shockingly great year for the Gmail Android app. Between a big Material 3 Expressive redesign, a new tool for easily unsubscribing from subscription emails, and a helpful way to track your online orders and deliveries, Gmail is in a better place today than it’s been in years. It’s because of all these updates that I recently switched back to the Gmail Android app after using a third-party email client for most of this year. And while I’ve thorough

iOS 26 has a new full-screen UI when you take a screenshot on your iPhone, here’s how to change it back

The new iOS 26 software update for iPhone introduces a new full-screen preview experience when taking a screenshot. This includes some new visual lookup functionality, but it also can be a bit annoying if you just want to capture something for later and get on with what are you doing. iOS 18 and earlier would simply show a small unobtrusive thumbnail of the screenshot in the corner of the screen. Thankfully, this behavior is still possible on iOS 26 as well. Here’s how to change it back. First

AI is changing the IT recruitment game. Here's what you need to know now

Westend61/Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Employers look in many places for qualified job candidates. AI is part of job placement, but many companies have outdated tech. Only 17% of companies have the right tools to identify IT talent.
