US moves to ban shady subscription auto-renewals after FTC court loss

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-16 03:21:33

Canceling a subscription should be easy, Democratic lawmakers insisted Wednesday, introducing a bill to revive the Federal Trade Commission's so-called "Click-to-Cancel" rule. The FTC hoped to enforce the rule due to "increasing reports of consumers losing time and money from intentionally difficult subscription cancellation processes," lawmakers said. But cable companies sued to block the FTC rule last year, arguing that the FTC failed to conduct an economic impact study before making it easie

E-commerce giants everywhere felt the sting Wednesday when President Donald Trump announced that the US will be "suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value shipments" worth $800 or less from anywhere in the world.

Zig Profiling on Apple Silicon

If you’re a developer rocking an Apple Silicon Mac and writing in Zig, congratulations - you’ve chosen the scenic route through the desert of profiling tools. It’s just you, your code, and a tumbleweed named Apple Instruments. But don’t worry - we’ll try to find some oases.

Google's 'virtual satellite' AI model can provide a near real-time view of Earth

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-16 19:30:55

Google has introduced a new AI model called AlphaEarth Foundations that it says can function like a "virtual satellite." The model uses a system called "embedding," which works by taking big volumes of pubic information from various sources every day, such as optical satellites, radars and climate simulations, and then combining them all together. It then divides lands and coastal waters into 10x10 meter squares, which it then analyzes and tracks over time. As Wired explains, these squares are c

Benchmarks in CI: Escaping the Cloud Chaos

Creating a performance gate in a CI environment, preventing significant performance regressions from being deployed has been a long-standing goal of dozens of software teams. But measuring in hosted CI runners is a particularly challenging task, mostly because of noisy neighbors leaking through virtualization layers. Still, it's worth the effort. Performance regressions are harder to catch and more expensive to fix the longer they go unnoticed. Mostly because: Catching issues in production is
