Code⇄GUI bidirectional editing via LSP

I built a small proof-of-concept for a system that enables real-time bidirectional editing between any modern code editor and a GUI, enabled by an LSP server. Code-based CAD I like working on small projects at home that benefit from CAD. I’m also a programmer with a personal development environment that I’ve spent years making as cozy as possible. Naturally I’ve been interested in finding code-based CAD system to use for my projects that allows me to use that cozy development environment. I r

I Finally Tried the Nothing Phone 3 and There's a Lot I Like

After months of rumors and teases, the Nothing Phone 3 has finally been unveiled at a Tuesday launch event in London. Nothing is calling the phone its "first true flagship" and with good reason; the Phone 3 has higher specs and other quirky new features (like the Glyph Matrix) that set it apart from its cheaper siblings. I got to spend some time using the phone at the launch and while it was only a quick look, I'm already quite impressed. The Nothing Phone 3 will go on sale next week in the US

Nothing releases its first over-the-ear headphones, the $299 Headphone (1)

London-based smartphone maker Nothing has launched its first over-the-ear headphones, the Headphone (1). The new device follows Nothing’s first step into audio hardware with last year’s debut of the Ear 2 open-ear headphones. The new Headphone (1) headphones were designed in collaboration with British audio brand KEF and feature the sleek, transparent design that Nothing has become known for. The device itself is a bit bulky, even for an over-the-ear headphone, but it provides adequate adaptive

Nothing’s first over-ear headphones want to be a quirky $300 AirPods Max alternative

After numerous waves of similar (and not-so-similar) wireless buds, Nothing is debuting its first pair of over-ear headphones. The Headphone 1 combines the company's recognizable see-through aesthetic with an intriguing array of controls and up to 35 hours of listening with active noise cancellation (ANC). Handily, for its most premium audio launch yet, the $299 headphones accompany the launch of Nothing’s new flagship smartphone: the Phone 3. First impressions are everything, and these look li

Senate removes ban on state AI regulations from Trump's tax bill

Jarmo Piironen/Getty Images Until now, the Trump administration's tax bill -- also called its "big, beautiful bill," which passed in the Senate on Tuesday -- included a rule that would prevent states from enforcing their own AI legislation for five years, and would withhold up to $500 million in funding for AI infrastructure if states don't comply. On Tuesday, a day into a "vote-o-rama" that began Monday in an effort to pass Trump's tax bill before the July 4 holiday, the Senate voted 99 to on

The Senate Just Put Clean Energy for AI in the Crosshairs

After more than a day of continuous debate, the US Senate passed its version of the budget megabill Tuesday afternoon—with potentially disastrous implications for the future of renewable energy in the country. Among a barrage of bad news for climate initiatives, including a new tax credit for coal and the sunsetting of electric vehicle tax credits, the bill forces an aggressive cutoff for tax credits for wind and solar. The bill ends credits for projects placed in service—a term meaning, essent

Nothing's New Phone (3) and Headphone (1) Look Nothing Like You've Seen Before

Nothing Headphone 1 review: head-turning

Nothing’s first pair of over-the-ear headphones has arrived, bearing the company’s signature retro-transparent design that it introduced with the Phone 1. But until now, that design has mostly been in your pocket or peeking out of your ears. With the $299 Nothing Headphone 1, you have to commit to having that aesthet

14 Million People Could Die in Next 5 Years Due to USAID Cuts, Study Finds

Elon Musk’s wood-chipping of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is poised to leave piles of bodies behind in its wake, a new study suggests.

Brazil’s antitrust watchdog says Apple must face penalties over App Store restrictions [U]

Apple’s week is off to a rough start. First, Proton filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. Almost simultaneously, a judge in New Jersey rejected Apple’s attempt to dismiss a federal antitrust case. And on Monday night, things got a little worse: CADE, Brazil’s antitrust watchdog, formally recommended that Apple be sanctioned for the “imposition of the exclusive use of its payment system by app developers and the restriction on the distribution and commercialization of third-party digital serv

The first 5 Linux commands every new user should learn

Jay Dickman/Getty Images I remember when I started using Linux in the late 1990s. Back then, using the command line wasn't optional. If you worked with the open-source operating system, you had to spend time in the terminal. Using the command line in the past was challenging because there wasn't as much help as today. I was pretty much on my own. Thankfully, I struggled through and became proficient. With the help of man pages (manual pages for commands), I survived those early days. Of course

Report: ‘Elio’ Was Pixar’s Latest Victim of Cuts to Erase a Queer Storyline

A new report from The Hollywood Reporter alleges that Elio, Pixar’s latest movie, has become the latest in a growing line at the studio to face radical cuts and changes from senior management—including, yet again, the erasure of a queer narrative. The report revealed that Elio had a fraught behind-the-scenes production, that saw much of original director Adrian Molina’s (Coco) vision undergo significant restructuring to become the film that is in theaters now. The disappointing alterations of t

Can AI outdiagnose doctors? Microsoft's tool is 4 times better for complex cases

4 Linux distros that can't be upgraded on autopilot - and why they're still worth trying

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET If you use a Linux distribution based on Debian or Ubuntu, the upgrade path is almost always painless. I've had maybe one Ubuntu upgrade in over a decade that had problems, and even that was a fairly straightforward fix. But not all Linux distributions are created equal, and some are more challenging than others. Some distributions even make the upgrade process more difficult, and a few give users fair warning about why it's important to stay informed
