Sony Is Spoiling PlayStation Plus Subscribers With These Free September Games

All PlayStation Plus members can now play games like Psychonauts 2, the 2021 Game Awards nominee for Game of the Year. The original Psychonauts was highly praised for its comedic storytelling and unique characters when released in 2005, and the sequel received acclaim for its creativity, art style and humor. PlayStation Plus is similar to Xbox Game Pass, offering subscribers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, each

Meet the Guys Betting Big on AI Gambling Agents

When Carson Szeder turned five dollars into more than a thousand by betting on an NFL game last year, he knew he was onto something major. “Definitely my biggest win,” he says. He hadn’t scored because he was especially deft at football analytics—or because he was particularly lucky. Instead, he says he used an AI program to help him decide how to gamble. Since a federal ban on sports betting was struck down in the United States seven years ago, gambling on the internet has exploded in populari

Spiritual Influencers Say ‘Sentient’ AI Can Help You Solve Life’s Mysteries

In May, a group of about 40 people stood in a circle deep within the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest of the three pyramids looming over Egypt’s Giza Plateau, holding hands and praying for Earth. Suddenly, their tour guide, an American mathematician and author named Robert Edward Grant, collapsed. He later described the experience in an interview with WIRED as a full-body electric shock emanating from somewhere beneath the chamber’s stone floor. “I felt electricity coming through my hands,

9 Best Electric Cargo Bikes for Families (2025), Tested and Reviewed

There are several physical, philosophical, environmental, and logistical reasons why it’s better to hop on an electric cargo bike than it is to drive a car. Sitting in traffic is mind-numbing. Earth is on fire. Yet somehow it's easy to ignore all this when you're late to work and have yet to wrestle pants onto your screaming toddler. If you're trying to reconcile your carefree biking days of yore with your current life as a family chauffeur—or you just want a bike for trips to the supermarket o

Hungry Worms Could Help Solve Plastic Pollution

Plastics that support modern life are inexpensive, strong, and versatile, but are difficult to dispose of and have a serious impact when released into the environment. Polyethylene, in particular, is the most widely produced plastic in the world, with more than 100 million tons distributed annually. Since it can take decades to decompose—and along the way can harm wildlife and degrade into harmful microplastics—its disposal is an urgent issue for mankind. In 2017, European researchers discovere

Google Play Games is about to show people what you play

It’s surprisingly easy to remove Google’s digital AI watermark on the Pixel 10

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Like the Samsung Galaxy S25, Google’s new Pixel 10 series is adopting C2PA metadata for digital media authenticity. Anytime the phones take a photo or edit it, they embed a watermark in the final image that traces its origin and any changes made to it. Google, like Samsung, is following this standard to help combat all inevitable confusion around an image’s provenance and veracity on the internet. Is this photo real or AI? Or is it real with AI embellishments?

YouTube is coming for your shared Premium account, just like Netflix did

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube seems to be cracking down on Premium Family plan members who don’t live in the same household as the plan manager. Users are reportedly receiving warning emails that their Premium access will be paused if they fail YouTube’s location-based check-in. This mirrors location-based password-sharing crackdowns by Netflix and other major streaming services. If you’ve been freeloading on a YouTube Premium Family plan from outside the “family home,” t

Windows is finally bringing Mac-style clipboard sync magic to Android

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The clipboard sync feature allows you to access the Windows clipboard content on your Android smartphone. This feature is currently available in the Windows Dev build. You need to be logged in to your Microsoft account on both devices to use the feature. When you want to copy something like complex code or a long paragraph that’s open on your Windows PC to your Android smartphone, you usually end up copying and sending it to yourself via WhatsApp or

Vibe coding as a VC

Those vacations were the most intense I’ve had in a while. Time off is always the chance to focus on building knowledge or skills, whether for personal enjoyment or for work. And this summer break was the perfect moment to disconnect from the hectic daily routine, the endless flow of emails and back-to-back meetings, and dive into introspection.

BMW, I am so breaking up with you

I want to be clear from the outset. I’ve never been a car enthusiast. My driving history includes a hand-me-down Volvo with a hole in the floorboards and a series of aggressively practical vehicles, including a VW Golf and a Mazda SUV in which I hauled my family around for 12 years. Then I leased a BMW i4 electric car. What drew me to the i4? Unlike other electric vehicles, BMWs don’t look like something out of the Jetsons; I like that they’re understated cars that happen to be electric. I like

Pixel 10 Pro XL proves its got the strength to match its software update promise

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro XL has passed JerryRigEverything’s durability test with flying colors. The YouTuber called it the toughest Pixel ever built. Still, if you plan to use the device for seven years, it’s a good idea to slap on a screen protector or use a cover that protects the display. Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL has gone through the popular JerryRigEverything stress check, and the results show a phone that might be the toughest Pixel Google has ever built.

This Macintosh programming book library will take you back, even if you weren’t there for it

Over the weekend, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber linked to a fantastic collection of early Macintosh programming books (via Michael Tsai). It is a carefully assembled catalog of more than 150 books from as early as 1983, covering everything from AppleSoft BASIC, to gaming programming for the Mac. Even if you weren’t around for any of that, believe me: this will be worth your time. A great collection of 150+ early Mac books Here’s how VintageApple.org describes how the Vintage Macintosh Program

Stolen luggage at LAX recovered thanks to Apple AirTag

Ripple is a TypeScript UI framework for web (If React and Svelte had a baby)

What is Ripple? Currently, this project is still in early development, and should not be used in production. Ripple is a TypeScript UI framework that takes the best parts of React, Solid and Svelte and combined them into one package. I wrote Ripple as a love letter for frontend web – and this is largely a project that I built in less than a week, so it's very raw. Personally, I (@trueadm) have been involved in some truly amazing frontend frameworks along their journeys – from Inferno, where

Detecting and countering misuse of AI

We’ve developed sophisticated safety and security measures to prevent the misuse of our AI models. But cybercriminals and other malicious actors are actively attempting to find ways around them. Today, we’re releasing a report that details how. Our Threat Intelligence report discusses several recent examples of Claude being misused, including a large-scale extortion operation using Claude Code, a fraudulent employment scheme from North Korea, and the sale of AI-generated ransomware by a cybercr

Corruption and Control: Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind... The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship. Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti
