The government’s Apple antitrust lawsuit is still on

is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade. The US Department of Justice notched an initial win in its antitrust case against Apple today, with a federal judge rejecting Apple’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit outright. The government’s allegations are “sufficient to demonstrate Apple’s specific intent to monopolize the smartphone and performance smartphone market,“ Judge Julien Neals wrote in an opinion on Monday. Apple filed to dismiss

Forecasters to Lose Hurricane Satellite Data at the Worst Possible Time

In one month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Hurricane Center (NHC) will lose access to critical satellite data that lets meteorologists see inside the eye of a storm. This marks the latest blow to the agency’s forecasting abilities as hurricane season gets underway. In an abrupt move that blindsided meteorologists and public officials on Wednesday, June 25, the Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) announced it was shutt

Meta, TikTok can’t toss wrongful death suit from mom of “subway surfing” teen

Section 230 has so far failed to shield Meta and TikTok owner ByteDance from a lawsuit raised by a mother who alleged that her son's wrongful death followed a flood of "subway surfing" videos platforms intentionally targeted to teens in New York. In a decision Monday, New York State Supreme Court Judge Paul Goetz largely denied social media companies' motions to dismiss claims they argued should be barred under Section 230 and the First Amendment. Goetz said that the mother, Norma Nazario, had

Tech firms face demands to stop illegal content going viral

Tech firms face demands to stop illegal content going viral Oliver Griffiths, online safety group director at Ofcom, said its proposed measures seek to build on existing UK online safety rules but keep up with "constantly evolving" risks. These could also include making some larger platforms assess whether they need to proactively detect terrorist material under further online safety measures. The UK regulator published a consultation on Monday seeking views on further protections to keep cit

New proof dramatically compresses space needed for computation

Once upon a time computers filled entire rooms, reading numbers from spinning tapes and churning them through wires to do chains of basic arithmetic. Today they slip into our pockets, performing in a tiny fraction of a second what used to take hours. But even as chips shrink and gain speed, theorists are flipping the question from how much computation space we can pack into a machine to how little is enough to get the job done. This inquiry lies at the heart of computational complexity, a measu

The 9 Best Dyson Vacuums (2025), Tested and Reviewed

What About the PencilVac? Courtesy of Dyson The new Dyson PencilVac promises to be Dyson's slimmest vacuum yet, but it won't be available in the US until sometime in 2026.

Apple’s insanely complex App Store terms could point to 20% commission globally

Apple last week announced an insanely complex set of changes to its App Store terms in the EU, and hidden in the small–print is one sign that the company might be reducing its standard commission from 30% to 20%, and that it may make this change globally. If so, it would be the first time the company has ever reduced its 30% cut for all developers, and might go a long way to tackling its legal battles with antitrust regulators around the world … We last week reported on a set of sweeping chang

Loss of key US satellite data could send hurricane forecasting back 'decades'

A critical US atmospheric data collection program will be halted by Monday, giving weather forecasters just days to prepare, according to a public notice sent this week. Scientists that the Guardian spoke with say the change could set hurricane forecasting back “decades”, just as this year’s season ramps up. In a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) message sent on Wednesday to its scientists, the agency said that “due to recent service changes” the Defense Meteorological Sate

Time Is Three-Dimensional and Space Is Just a Side Effect, Scientist Says

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll note, but more on that later — from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, time is three-dimensional and the dimensions of space are an emergent property of it, a press release from the university explains. "These three time dimensions are the primary fabric of everything, like the canvas of a paintin

I instantly improved Samsung Gallery’s search using its hidden menu, and you can too

Andy Walker / Android Authority Samsung devices are nothing if not goldmines for treasure hunters, particularly those dealing in hidden menus. Just glossing through Good Lock and its myriad modules indicates how customizable One UI is. However, not every new feature requires an external download. Often, these options are hidden within the stock skin — you need to know where to look. Do you use Samsung Gallery as your default gallery app? 88 votes Yes, it's my default gallery app on my Samsung

Trump Goes Haywire on AI Regulation After China Agrees to Major Trade Deal

American president Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping have finally resolved a months-long trade dispute revolving around the rare earth metals vital to developing artificial intelligence. It's a resolution that makes it all the more bizarre that the US President is opening the floodgates for an AI arms race with China. Following Trump's baffling "Liberation Day" tariffs back in April, Chinese lawmakers moved to cut the flow of rare earth metals into the US. China has a near-global mo

DOGE Gets the Green Light to Slash Gun Regulations at ATF

Elon Musk may be out of the picture, but the Department of Government Efficiency is still around and being deployed to terrorize the public servants at agencies across the federal government. The latest target: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, where DOGE will be tasked with slashing gun restrictions, according to the Washington Post. DOGE staff (those who are left, at least, seeing as high-profile figures like Big Balls have tapped out of the operation) are reportedly be

Microsoft changes Windows in attempt to prevent next CrowdStrike-style catastrophe

In the summer of 2024, corporate anti-malware provider CrowdStrike pushed a broken update to millions of PCs and servers running some version of Microsoft's Windows software, taking down systems that both companies and consumers relied on for air travel, payments, emergency services, and their morning coffee. It was a huge outage, and it caused days and weeks of pain as the world's permanently beleaguered IT workers brought systems back online, in some cases touching each affected PC individuall

Latest Fold 7 S Pen rumors add a confusing new twist to Samsung’s stylus solution

TL;DR Samsung’s been rumored to be moving to a new technology for S Pen stylus input, starting with the Fold 7. While it earlier sounded like we might get a stylus with a built-in battery, the latest rumor suggests that won’t happen. The Fold 7 could even be compatible with old S Pens, but experiencing different input latency. What the heck is Samsung up to with the technology powering its S Pen stylus? A while back, we heard rumors that the Galaxy phone manufacturer was considering a new tra

The Personalized Learning Revolution: An EdTech Insider’s Perspective

Back in the 90s, when I was in school, education was like a uniform everyone had to wear—the same textbooks, the same blackboard, and the same hurried lessons for all. If you fell behind, your only lifeline was to awkwardly raise your hand in the middle of class or spend hours in the library after school, rifling through reference books. Fast forward 30 years, and it’s fascinating how far we’ve come. Today, thanks to AI/ML, we have adaptive learning systems—tailored to each student based on thei

This smart smoke alarm could be a worthy Nest Protect replacement

A new line of smoke and CO alarms from Gentex called Place is packed with smart features, including phone notifications, a nightlight, motion detection, and temperature and humidity sensing. There’s also optional air quality monitoring and a camera/intercom. The four Place models start at $139, and are available now at The Home Depot. With the excellent Nest Protect now discontinued, many homeowners have been seeking an alternative smart alarm that can similarly alert them to a smoke or carbon

I’ll only upgrade to the Galaxy Watch 8 if it focuses on these 2 features

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve used several smartwatches throughout my career, switching between devices to match my changing priorities. However, the one smartwatch I always return to is my Galaxy Watch 4. Now paired with a Galaxy smartphone, it’s become the center of my ecosystem. Samsung’s first new-generation Wear OS watch launched in 2021. Now, nearly four years later, I still feel little temptation to upgrade. While the watch is starting to show its age, as its chipped exterior

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features

The Danish government is to clamp down on the creation and dissemination of AI-generated deepfakes by changing copyright law to ensure that everybody has the right to their own body, facial features and voice. The Danish government said on Thursday it would strengthen protection against digital imitations of people’s identities with what it believes to be the first law of its kind in Europe. Having secured broad cross-party agreement, the department of culture plans to submit a proposal to ame
