Trump suspends trade loophole for cheap online retailers globally

E-commerce giants everywhere felt the sting Wednesday when President Donald Trump announced that the US will be "suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value shipments" worth $800 or less from anywhere in the world.

Persona 3 Reload arrives on Switch 2 in October

The Nintendo Switch was a great place to play Persona games, and it looks like the outgoing console has passed on the torch to its successor, with last year's Persona 3 Reload kicking things off when it comes to Switch 2 on October 23. Reload is a full remake of 2006's Persona 3 (later ported to the PSP as Persona 3 Portable), which Engadget's Mat Smith called "a gorgeous version of itself" in his review. It's both one of the most confusing and influential entries in the long-running series, an

Matrix Is Not Safe for EU Data Privacy

Matrix has long been promoted as the future of secure, decentralized communication. Backed by an open protocol, a vibrant developer community, and bridges to legacy systems, it promises interoperability and freedom from vendor lock-in. But when viewed through the lens of EU data privacy law, Matrix, and its commercial champion, Element, poses significant and underappreciated risks. For public-sector organizations, critical infrastructure, and privacy-conscious enterprises in the EU, the questio

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering A very common side effect of working as a programmer is the constant frustration of not having source code access to all the software you use. Bugs, problems or missing features in your own work can be frustrating enough — you know you’ll have to address all those issues at some point. But it’s even worse when you experience an issue and don’t have the option to solve it. A recent example of this for me was playing the game

Go’s race detector has a mutex blind spot

Go's race detector has a mutex blind spot 28 Jul, 2025 I recently read Ralf Jung's blog post "There is no memory safety without thread safety" which mentions that Go is not a memory safe language in the presence of data races.

This reminded me of a quirk in Go's dynamic data race detection that causes it to miss data races in executed code that could easily be spotted by a human . Here is the code the data race detector stru

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Buy These 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets

As long as we have kitchens, brands will continue to pump out tools.

To help you sort the essentials from the excess, we asked chefs and kitchen pros which gadgets are worth the hype -- and which ones are better left behind.

The Best Cheap Headphones We’ve Tried

The Best headphones under $100 are harder to find than you might think. Here at WIRED, it's part of our job to listen to music all day, often on exceedingly fancy and bonkers-expensive models. We have playlists for testing bass, for assessing detail, for dance parties—we get way into it. But believe it or not, we like testing the cheap stuff just as much. It's like a treasure hunt to find the best cheap headphones. And they're getting better every year. That doesn't mean our work is done; retai

The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point. It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets.

Gamers Are Furious About the Censorship of NSFW Games—and They’re Fighting Back

Trade organizations across the games industry and gamers are speaking out against censorship campaigns taking place across Steam and Itch.io in an effort to help developers who have been unfairly impacted. The push against adult content is being driven by Australian conservative group Collective Shout, whose pressuring of payment processors has forced platforms to mass deindex NSFW content.

India safely launches a $1.5 billion satellite for NASA

Leak reveals Pixel 10 prices, and they’re exactly what we hoped for

TL;DR The prices for the entire Google Pixel 10 series have leaked. It appears there won’t be any price increases this year. However, the Pixel 10 Pro XL may have a new starting price. A question we have long had about the Pixel 10 series is whether there will be a price hike. With the ongoing tariff situation, there seemed to be a good chance that we could see higher prices.
