Amazon Ends Shared Prime Shipping Program for People Who Don't Live Together

If you're using a friend or family member's free Prime shipping and you don't live in the same house, you might need to pay another monthly cost. According to an updated customer service page first reported by The Verge, Amazon is ending its Prime Invitee benefit sharing program on Oct. 1. The program is being replaced by Amazon Family, which includes many of the same benefits as Prime Invitee. But Amazon Family only works for up to two adults and four children living in the same "primary resid

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

Cloudflare hit by data breach in Salesloft Drift supply chain attack

Cloudflare is the latest company impacted in a recent string of Salesloft Drift breaches, part of a supply-chain attack disclosed last week. The internet giant revealed on Tuesday that the attackers gained access to a Salesforce instance it uses for internal customer case management and customer support, which contained 104 Cloudflare API tokens. Cloudflare was notified of the breach on August 23, and it alerted impacted customers of the incident on September 2. Before informing customers of t

I tried to destroy this $45 power bank (including driving over it with a tractor) - it refused to break

Nestout Outdoor Battery 5000N ZDNET's key takeaways The Elecom NestOut is the toughest power bank I've ever tested, available for $45.

That Supposed 'Gmail Hack': Google Says It's False, but Watch Out for Phishing Anyway

Gmail is a hugely popular email service, with over 2.5 billion users. So when rumors start to swirl about Gmail problems, people pay attention. On Monday, Google made an unusual statement, formally denying that it had issued a broad warning about a major Gmail security issue. "Gmail's protections are strong and effective, and claims of a major Gmail security warning are false," the post read. "While it's always the case that phishers are looking for ways to infiltrate inboxes, our protections c

Amazon ends shared Prime shipping

Amazon is shutting down the Prime Invitee program which allowed members to extend free shipping to people outside their household. An updated support page says sharing through Invitee will end on October 1 and that previously invited guests will be notified by September 5 of the changes. The Verge is reporting that users who don't live with the primary account owner will be prompted to create their own Amazon Prime accounts and will be offered a discounted rate of $14.99 for the entire first ye

AI’s ‘Zoom and Enhance’ Is Bullshit

Speculation about Donald Trump’s declining health was running rampant on social media over the holiday weekend as Americans wondered whether the president was actually on his deathbed. Some people even turned to AI tools in an effort to get a better look at grainy photos of Trump, who seemed to only be captured in blurry images like Bigfoot in the wild. But using AI like that is a complete waste of time. The AI only confused people because these “enhancements” can’t actually give you a more hon

Google says Gmail security is “strong and effective” as it denies major breach

The sky is falling, and Gmail has supposedly been hacked to bits by malicious parties unknown. Or has it? Reports circulated last week claiming that Gmail was the subject of a major data breach, citing a series of warnings Google has distributed and increasing reports of phishing attacks. The hysteria was short-lived, though. In a brief post on its official blog, Google says that Gmail's security is "strong and effective," and reports to the contrary are mistaken. This story seems to have devel

Say goodbye to sharing Prime shipping perks with people outside your family

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Amazon will shut down the Prime Invitee program on October 1. Free Prime shipping perks can only be shared with people at the same address via Amazon Family. Invitees outside your household will need their own Prime membership going forward. Sharing online subscriptions used to be the norm, but in the last few years, we’ve seen various companies clamp down on it. Netflix was an early culprit, and Disney Plus followed, while others have been less gene

Google did not warn 2.5B Gmail users to reset passwords

Google has disputed a widely reported story about the company warning all Gmail users to reset their passwords due to a recent data breach that also affected some Workspace accounts.

‘Marvel Zombies’ Teases a High-Energy Undead Adventure

The zombie apocalypse hits the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least in 2D, just in time for spooky season. The trailer for Marvel Zombies shows us a timeline where the assembled Avengers aren’t showing up to save the day—they’re the threat after being hit with the zombie virus. The latest trailer for the Disney+ animated series reveals that the likes of Okoye, Hawkeye, the Scarlett Witch, and Captain America are now the brain-munching undead. And the unlikeliest of heroes will need to rise up to

Police Desperately Seek Info on Burning Man Homicide Suspect

Nothing puts your problems into perspective like death. Sure, the orgy dome being rendered unusable by wind was a bummer, but it doesn’t compare to the unsolved homicide that appears to have happened on the grounds of Burning Man over the weekend. Making matters worse, the situation remains unsolved, and police are struggling to connect with potential witnesses as they head back home from the desert getaway. Thus far, the details about the situation are pretty sparse. According to USA Today, th

The Avengers face an undead Thanos in Marvel Zombies trailer

Marvel Studios has (mercifully) slowed the pace of new releases of late, but this month we're getting the miniseries Marvel Zombies—and the studio just dropped the official trailer. It's adapted from the Marvel Comics series and a spinoff of the 2021 What If...? episode featuring several Avengers in zombified form. It's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Six.

Tesla's latest 'Master Plan' isn't a mission statement, it's a discursive mess

Tesla has released part four of its so-called "Master Plan" in a post on X. Unlike the more focused " Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan ," which outlined concrete plans for future products, this "Master Plan Part IV" reads more like a rambling utopic fever dream that was partly written by Grok, while touching on Tesla's AI-powered products. Tesla says it intends to "deliver unconstrained sustainability without compromise," and that the company is "unifying our hardware and software at scale" in o

Bitcoin bucks stock market downtrend but lags gold rally

The moves came amid a sell-off in stocks and a jump in bond yields, which were triggered by concerns — which first emerged late on Friday ahead of the extended holiday weekend — on the legality of President Donald Trump's global tariffs and the prospect that the U.S. may have to repay money already received . The price of so-called digital gold rose as much as 2% to reclaim the $111,000 level after dropping over the weekend to a low last seen in July. Spot gold hovered around $3,500 after surpa
