Building an innovation ecosystem for the next century

Megan: And last year, when Michigan's Governor Whitmer announced this new initiative and your position, she noted the need to foster this sort of culture of innovation. And we hear that a lot that terminal in the context of company cultures. It's interesting to hear in the context of a U.S. state's economy. I wonder what your strategy is for building out this ecosystem, and how do you foster a state's innovation culture? Ben: Yeah, it's an awesome point, and I think I mentioned earlier that I c

New WYBOT S2 Solar robotic pool cleaner gets massive Prime Day price drop!

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority We were mightily impressed when we tried the new WYBOT S2 Solar robotic pool cleaner.

Can an email go 500 miles in 2025?

Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldn’t send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said that’s not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025? There’s a lot to the story that’s obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it. connect We need some code to do a nonblocking

It's Your Final Day to Grab 'Superman' Early Screening Tickets With Amazon Prime

If you're ready to watch James Gunn's new Superman movie a few days before it's official release, Amazon Prime has still got your solution, but today is the last day to seize the opportunity. Today (which is also the start of Amazon Prime Day) is the final day that Prime members in the US can buy tickets for early access screenings of Superman. The shows will take place in select theaters starting tonight, July 8, at 7 p.m. local time. A Prime membership costs $15 per month or $139 per year. 2

Rivian’s new Quad-Motor R1T and R1S beat the competition in any conditions

Rivian provided flights from Albany, New York, to Reno, Nevada, and accommodation so Ars could drive the quad-motor R1s. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. It's getting harder to find hyperboles to describe the performance of modern EVs. Horsepower figures measured in four digits and acceleration figures clocking in well under three seconds aren't exactly de rigueur, but they're well short of rare these days. Rivian's latest generation ticks those boxes, joining the automaker's range

5 surprise products we may see at Samsung Unpacked July - including smart glasses

Project Moohan headset Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through 2025, and Samsung is kicking off the second half with force. The tech giant will hold its next Unpacked event tomorrow, Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. EST.

The one Android settings shortcut I can't live without - and how to customize it

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Android is chock-full of features that appeal to a wide variety of users. Some of those features have been met with wide acceptance, while others tend to be relegated to a smaller cross-section of users. Some features are there, waiting for you to make use of them, and yet they go either ignored or underused. One such example is Quick Settings. This feature has been available on Android for quite some time, and exists as a collection of tiles at the

How to turn off ACR on your TV (and why it makes such a big difference)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Did you know that whenever you turn on your smart TV, you invite an unseen guest to watch it with you? These days, most popular TV models utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a form of ad surveillance technology that gathers information about everything you watch and transmits it to a centralized database. Manufacturers then use your data to identify your viewing preferences, enabling them to deliver highly targeted ads. Also: Your TV's USB port is seriously underutili

Android’s upcoming notification summaries could avoid the pitfalls of Apple Intelligence

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing an AI-powered notification summary feature for Android to help manage overwhelming alerts from messaging apps. Unlike Apple’s version, this feature will only summarize “conversation notifications” to improve accuracy and avoid misinterpreting non-message alerts. It will warn users that summaries may contain errors, will only process longer messages, and will likely be exclusive to devices that support Gemini Nano. Notifications ar

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th

Reflections on 2 years of CPython's JIT Compiler: The good, the bad, the ugly

Reflections on 2 years of CPython’s JIT Compiler: The good, the bad, the ugly 5 July 2025 This blog post includes my honest opinions on the CPython JIT. What I think we did well, what I think we could have done better. I’ll also do some brief qualititative analysis. I’ve been working on CPython’s JIT compiler since before the very start. I don’t know how long that is at this point … 2.5, maybe almost 3 years? Anyways, I’m primarily responsible for Python’s JIT compiler’s optimizer. Note that

5 Best Prime Day Pet Deals on Amazon (2025)

Amazon Prime Day is arguably the best time of the year to upgrade your pet's digs for way less dough. As the pet tech writer here at WIRED, I have strong opinions about which (often pricey) pet gear is worth the money. From automatic litter boxes to feeders and fountains, and even DNA testing kits and pet cameras, I've pulled together the best Prime Day pet deals on WIRED-tested gear for this event, which runs July 8-11. I'll be updating with more deals as I find them, so make sure you're checki

The 5 Best Prime Day Action Camera Deals for Thrill Seekers (2025)

The Insta360 Go 3S (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is an action camera with an escape pod. In action camera mode, it looks like the Ace Pro above, complete with flip-up screen, but then you can also pull out the tiny little camera itself and shoot with just that. The case will continue to act as a remote monitor if you want it, but I find I rarely use it this way. The beauty of the little camera pod is the extremely strong magnetic mounting system which will stick to just about anything metal, making t

Here’s what I like and dislike about Android’s new Expressive design

Joe Maring / Android Authority If you’ve installed the stable version of Android 16 on your Pixel, you might be disappointed to find that the big visual refresh Google announced on May 13 is conspicuous by its absence. An unfortunate consequence of the new platform release schedule is that some of the more notable new Android 16 features won’t be arriving until the Android 16 QPR1 update in early September. That means that even though there’s plenty of goodness in the initial stable release — l

I gave Google Tasks another shot — and remembered why I left

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’m not a calendar person. My day sliced into blue and yellow chunks down to the last minute — even telling me when to eat or take a break — isn’t the kind of rigidity I can live with. That’s far too structured for me. I instead swear by a hotchpotch system of Post-it notes, the good-old paper and pen, and most importantly, my task managing app — TickTick. TickTick is where all my personal and work tasks live, giving me a clear view of what needs to be done, whe

Android may soon use AI to organize your phone’s notifications

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing an AI-powered “notification organizer” to automatically group your notifications into categories like promotions, news, and social. Expected to debut in an Android 16 quarterly release, the feature will silence and bundle alerts it identifies as a match into one of four categories. The feature may be a Pixel-exclusive at launch, and users will be able to exempt specific apps, ensuring important alerts are not bundled away. Notific

Exploring Coroutines in PHP

The term "coroutine" often comes up when talking about asynchronous or non-blocking code, but what does it actually mean? In this post, we will explore coroutines as a concept and see how PHP supports them through Generators and Fibers. Whether you're building pipelines, CLI tools, or preparing to dive into concurrency, understanding coroutines is an essential first step. What are Coroutines? A coroutine is a function. However, where a regular function continuously runs from top to bottom unti

I Tried Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp, and This Is the One I'd Recommend

Key points: Most widely used messaging app Uses the same encryption protocol as Signal Collects heaps of your data Free, but owned and operated by Meta WhatsApp is the most popular private messaging app on this list, with about 2 billion monthly users, according to Exploding Topics. Because it's so popular, there's a higher chance that other people you might be chatting with have WhatsApp, and therefore your chats can be encrypted. And if the person you're chatting with doesn't have WhatsAp

Samsung reveals One UI 8’s major security upgrades, coming first to Fold 7, Flip 7

The era of exploration

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends. Even if those projections prove overly pessimistic, one fact is clear: today’s models consume data far faster than humans
