Google Discover may finally stop hiding the links it shares (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google implemented automatic link shortening for stories shared through Discover. If you’d rather keep the full URL intact, it looks like Google is developing an option to disable the shorteners. Right now we’re able to activate an early preview of the toggle, but it’s not yet operational. Google is absolutely no stranger when it comes to controversies, but they don’t have to all be big “federal antitrust case” scale for us to take not

Waymo limits service ahead of today’s ‘No Kings’ protests

In Brief Alphabet-owned robotaxi company Waymo is limiting service due to Saturday’s scheduled nationwide “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump and his policies. A Waymo spokesperson confirmed the changes to Wired on Friday. Service is reportedly affected in San Francisco, Austin, Atlanta, and Phoenix and is entirely suspended in Los Angeles. It’s not clear how long the limited service will last. As part of protests last weekend in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s i

I tried replacing Google Search with Perplexity. It didn’t go well

Joe Maring / Android Authority It’s no secret that Google Search is in a weird place right now. The regular search experience has seen better days, with ads and unhelpful results making the search engine feel far less helpful than it was a few years ago. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence features like AI Overviews and AI Mode aren’t where they need to be. Despite its imperfections, Google Search has remained my go-to search engine. But why should it when there are so many other options out th

RISC-V in AI and HPC Part 1: Per Aspera Ad Astra?

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> —First in a three-part series Introduced in 2014, the RISC-V instruction set architecture has been evolving at a pace that Arm and x86 ISAs have never experienced. Initially, RISC-V cores were used solely for microcontrollers and applications that did not require high performance, but rather benefited from low cost and low power. Since RISC-V is an open-source architecture, it quickly gai

Discord flaw lets hackers reuse expired invites in malware campaign

Hackers are hijacking expired or deleted Discord invite links to redirect users to malicious sites that deliver remote access trojans and information-stealing malware.

Former Intel engineers form AheadComputing to break CPU performance limits with RISC-V design

What just happened? In the heart of Oregon's Silicon Forest, a group of veteran chip architects has traded the security of a tech giant for the high-stakes world of startups, aiming to redefine the future of microprocessors. The founders of AheadComputing, who collectively spent nearly a century at Intel, are now channeling their expertise into building a new class of CPU, one they believe could upend the industry's established order. Rather than building on the legacy of x86, the team is betti

Cisco was ready to highlight several new products and services specifically targeted at major cloud computing providers and large ISPs. They also noted that interest in expanding the capabilities of on-premises data centers is not only still alive, but it's being reinvigorated by the rapid transition t

AI Chatbots Are Making LA Protest Disinformation Worse

Disinformation about the Los Angeles protests is spreading on social media networks and is being made worse by users turning to AI chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT to perform fact-checking. As residents of the LA area took to the streets in recent days to protest increasingly frequent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, conservative posters on social media platforms like X and Facebook flooded their feeds with inaccurate information. In addition to well-worn tactics like repurposing

Explorers Discover First Pharaoh Tomb in Over 100 Years

A British-Egyptian team of researchers has discovered what it says is the first pharaoh's tomb in over a century. As the BBC reports, the team discovered the tomb of King Thutmose II in the Western valleys of the Theban Necropolis, near Luxor, Egypt. "It is an extraordinary moment for Egyptology and the broader understanding of our shared human story," said Egypt's minister of tourism and antiquities Sherif Fathy in a statement.

Apple emerges as likely buyer for UFO disclosure film from ‘Top Gun’ producer

If aliens exist, Apple may be about to tell the origin story of how we found out… Deadline exclusively reports that Apple Original Films is the likely suitor for an upcoming movie centered around UFO disclosure. The untitled sci-fi (fiction, debatable) film is expected to focus on events in recent years around the U.S. government’s disclosure of previously classified footage of what is now called a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena or unidentified anomalous phenomena). For years, the stigma su

Chinese hackers use custom malware to spy on US telecom networks

The Chinese state-sponsored Salt Typhoon hacking group uses a custom utility called JumbledPath to stealthily monitor network traffic and potentially capture sensitive data in cyberattacks on U.S. telecommunication providers. Salt Typhoon (aka Earth Estries, GhostEmperor, and UNC2286) is a sophisticated hacking group active since at least 2019, primarily focusing on breaching government entities and telecommunications companies. Recently, the U.S. authorities have confirmed that Salt Typhoon w
