We're less than a week away from the launch of T-Mobile’s partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service. The direct-to-cell messaging service, called T-Satellite, will also be available to AT&T and Verizon cellphone customers. T-Mobile says its goal is to "eliminate mobile dead zones for good" by way of 657 Starlink satellites that'll be used exclusively for cellphone service. T-Satellite has been in beta testing since December 2024, with nearly 1.8 million users signing up so f

Razer’s new Pokémon collab is not very effective

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-07-27 04:20:58

Razer’s new Pokémon collaboration is a missed opportunity. The four PC gaming peripherals in this lineup are simply reskinned versions of products that already exist, and which cost $20 to $40 more than their all-black counterparts. You really should be getting more for your money here. For example, the themed BlackWidow V4 X keyboard should include at least one highly detailed custom keycap (switching out Alt for pokéball designs doesn’t cut it).

Microsoft is buying tons of carbon removal from Xprize startup Vaulted Deep

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-07-27 04:03:19

Microsoft is building data centers as fast as it can, and that’s killing its carbon balance sheet. Since 2020, its carbon emissions have grown by nearly a quarter, undermining the pledge it made that year to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than it generates by 2030. So Microsoft has been buying massive amounts of carbon-removal credits to attempt to remedy that situation, including a newly announced purchase of 4.9 million metric tons from Vaulted Deep. Neither party disclosed the financ

LameHug malware uses AI LLM to craft Windows data-theft commands in real-time

A novel malware family named LameHug is using a large language model (LLM) to generate commands to be executed on compromised Windows systems. LameHug was discovered by Ukraine’s national cyber incident response team (CERT-UA) and attributed the attacks to Russian state-backed threat group APT28 (a.k.a.

How to run an LLM on your laptop

technologyreview.com Grace Huckins 2025-07-27 12:01:29

For Pistilli, opting for local models as opposed to online chatbots has implications beyond privacy. “Technology means power,” she says. “And so who[ever] owns the technology also owns the power.” States, organizations, and even individuals might be motivated to disrupt the concentration of AI power in the hands of just a few companies by running their own local models. Breaking away from the big AI companies also means having more control over your LLM experience. Online LLMs are constantly sh

This Killer Dell 14 Plus Deal Changed My Opinion of the Laptop

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-07-27 12:13:02

When I first reviewed the Dell 14 Plus (6/10, WIRED Review), my main criticism was over the price. At the time, the only configuration available had a terabyte of storage and cost $1,099. That hurt its appeal to me, especially since it would be a more attractive sub-$1,000 laptop if Dell were selling a 512-GB option. But what if that 1-TB model was significantly discounted? Well, that changes everything. The 14 Plus is just $700 right now, directly from Dell, down $400 from its retail price. It
