Yana Iskayeva/Moment/Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways AI interviewers could bring companies higher-quality matches.

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics Skyler Austen, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Kathi Fisler SPLASH Onward!, 2025 Abstract Users often struggle with cloud file-sharing applications. Problems appear to arise not only from interface flaws, but also from misunderstanding the underlying semantics of operations like linking, attaching, downloading, and editing.

Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) Desktop Review: An Elegant All-in-One That Runs Into Some Trouble

7.2 / 10 SCORE Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) Pros Big, bright display Strong single-core performance Solid graphics from RTX 4050 Cons More expensive than non-AIO setups Effectively zero upgrade options Some weird glitches The Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) may be a good AIO desktop computer, but it's pricey. It has a big, bright display offering a colorful 4K picture and has surprisingly potent hardware -- and it runs quietly. Even the audio system is good with its quad-speaker setup. But

ReMarkable Paper Pro Move Review: A Small Yet Mighty Digital Notebook

I love a list. I can happily write the same to-do list in six different places in a single day (good thing I test digital notebooks and paper planners). I often find myself rewriting the little brainstorms in my Notes app because the ideas are still banging around in my brain, asking to be let free onto a page, digital or not. But not every brainstorm or list needs a full-size page. That's where ReMarkable's latest digital notebook comes in. The reMarkable Paper Pro Move ($449) takes the same t

Our study uncovered over 1,100 exposed Ollama servers, with appro

Puffy Cloud Mattress Review: Soft but Supportive

I will admit that, once upon a time, I was not the Puffy Cloud’s biggest supporter. I’ve tested this memory foam mattress multiple times over my five-year mattress testing career and believed it simply wasn’t for me—too soft, not enough spinal support. Well, times change, don’t they? Granted, during my previous tests, I didn’t spend a whole week sleeping on the Cloud in my own bedroom, as I did this time. I now also consider myself a side sleeper, which has a whole other set of requirements than

Tesla’s 4th ‘Master Plan’ reads like LLM-generated nonsense

Tesla has published its fourth “Master Plan,” and at a high level it is about how the company wants to lead the charge into planet-wide adoption of humanoid robots and sustainable energy. But the post lacks an important building block of plans: specifics. Even CEO Elon Musk agrees. In one of his only posts about the plan since it was published on Monday — sandwiched in between a steady stream of transphobia and immigration panic — he agreed it was fair to criticize the lack of specifics and sa
