Now That Intel Is Cooked, Apple Doesn’t Need to Release New MacBooks Every Year

Covering tech news, you sometimes feel like the million-mile-per-hour footrace of Silicon Valley will inevitably result in a Wile E. Coyote-style calamity. There’s a part of me that craves a little more sincerity and willingness for self-reflection. When we actually receive it, the result is a little more cringe-worthy. Intel’s new boss, Lip-Bu Tan, reportedly told staff the company was—effectively—cooked. That doesn’t sound great, but for one of Intel’s once-biggest partners, Apple, it may be a

After defending his PhD thesis on modeling interstellar objects on Monday, June 30, Matthew Hopkins intended to take some well-deserved time off. It would appear the universe had other plans for him.

RealSense spins out of Intel to scale its stereoscopic imaging technology

After 14 years of developing inside of semiconductor giant Intel, RealSense is striking out on its own. RealSense sells cameras that use stereoscopic imaging, a process that combines two images of the same object from different angles to create depth, enhanced with infrared light. This technology helps machines like robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles have a better perception of the physical world around them. The tech is also used for facial authentication. “The common denominator of all

Best Printer for Your Home or Office in 2025: Tested by Our Experts

Why I like it: Of the printers I've tested so far, the OfficeJet Pro is the most versatile. It allows work-from-home business people to scan, copy and print with ease, while offering up decent image quality for the occasional printed image. It also comes with three months of free ink, based on a standard use if you sign up for HP Plus. While HP Plus gives you extra helpful app choices free and the ink, the downside is you can only use HP inks while subscribed to it. The last model had some iss

You Can Now Get Starlink for $15-Per-Month in New York, but There’s a Catch

Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If it wants to sell internet in the state, it doesn’t have a choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January. The law says that major ISPs (those serving 20,000 households or more) operating in New York must offer plans sta

The Interstellar Visitor Hurtling Toward the Center of Our Star System Is Unimaginably Ancient, Scientists Say

Astronomers recently confirmed that a mysterious object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, came from interstellar space and is now blowing through the solar system at extremely high speeds. It's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have reached our star system, following 'Oumuamua, which was spotted in 2018, and a comet dubbed 2I/Borisov, which was identified in tk. Now, scientists are racing to better understand 3I/ATLAS and whether it can shed more light on the nature of interstellar objects like

Nintendo discontinues cost-saving game vouchers for Switch Online players

In 2019, Nintendo announced a new benefit for subscribers to its Switch Online service: a pair of game vouchers, available for $100, that could be redeemed for any two Switch games on Nintendo's eligibility list. If you already knew you were going to be buying first-party games, the voucher could save you $20 or even $30, if you used it on the normally $70 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, Nintendo announced today that it will soon end the program, rather than carrying it forw

I’ve Used T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet for 3 Years: Here’s What I Love and What I Hate

Albuquerque, New Mexico: home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet. Of the top 100 cities in the US, Albuquerque ranks 85th, according to data from Ookla. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, the same company that owns CNET.) Home internet was a two-horse race in Albuquerque for years: CenturyLink DSL and Xfinity cable. I spent decades on DSL, watching my internet speed tests march slowly up to a maximum of 20 megabits per se

A Third Interstellar Visitor Is Here, and Astronomers Might Know Where It Came From

After defending his PhD thesis on modeling interstellar objects on Monday, June 30, Matthew Hopkins intended to take some well-deserved time off. It would appear the universe had other plans for him.

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, the AI conversation goes deeper than just the latest models. On one of the AI Stages, Edo Liberty, founder and CEO of Pinecone, will deliver a session that challenges one of the most persistent assumptions in the field — that raw intelligence alone is enough.

Orb Is the Internet Speed Test Your Wi-Fi Has Been Waiting For

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet connection. When my friends or parents are experiencing an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test is one that diagnoses your bandwidth blues as simply as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can’t make sense of, and no

I Tried Living Without the Internet for a Day: It Made Me Want to Throw Away My Phone

I stood on a ridge in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico, surrounded by pinyon trees and red-barked pines, listening to the trill of dark-eyed juncos jostling through the underbrush. Amid all this beauty, my phone chimed. And chimed again. And buzzed and beeped. A friend sent an Instagram link. Uber Eats offered a discount deal. Target had a coupon for cleaning products. Someone drove by my Ring doorbell camera. Our lives are so dependent on the internet, the thought of living wi

Ars staffers share some of their favorite unexpected 3D prints

Part of the fun of 3D printing is discovering just how many possibilities there are for different things to print. Obviously, they're fun for printing toys or decorations that you couldn't or wouldn't buy yourself, but they're also powerful problem-solving tools. Once you've solved a few problems with 3D printed parts, you start looking around for other minor inconveniences or quality-of-life upgrades that you could solve—and the breadth and depth of the 3D printing community means that you can

US court strikes down 'click-to-cancel' rule designed to make unsubscribing easy

A federal rule designed to make canceling subscriptions as easy as signing up for them has been struck down by a US federal appeals court just days before it was scheduled to take effect. The US court of appeals for the eighth circuit vacated the Federal Trade Commission’s “click-to-cancel” rule, which would have required companies to allow consumers to cancel subscriptions using the same method they used to sign up, after finding that the commission behind it failed to follow required procedur

Over the last two weeks, I’ve sought to uncover why the Nintendo Switch 2 didn’t work with a host of USB-C accessories that worked perfectly fine with other devices, including third-party docks and some of the best-reviewed webcams. But today, I have first-hand confirmation that existing gadgets can work — as long as their manufacturers iss
