Fringe Movement Claims the Entirety of Modern Physics Is Wrong

It's one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the wonders of the internet has brought an entire economy built on outrage and conspiracy theories, enabling even the most crackpot grifters and fringe scientists to reach a wide audience and easily make a quick buck. We've all heard them rage against vaccines and seed oils, but one of their buzziest clai

OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake

OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are factually incorrect. It's a major problem plaguing the entire industry, greatly undercutting the usefulness of the tech. Worse yet, experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable. As a result, despite incurring astronomical expenses in their deployment, frontier AI models are still prone to making inaccurate claims when faced with a pr

We now know how Quick Share for iPhone will work, and there’s bad news (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has uncovered just how Quick Share will work for iPhones. Android owners can share a QR code with iPhone users to let them download files. However, files shared with iPhone users via Quick Share will first be uploaded to the cloud and retained for 24 hours. We’ve known since last year that Google is working on bringing Quick Share to iOS and MacOS. We recently discovered more evidence of the feature coming to iPhones, as

This app takes my Nothing Phone’s Glyph lights to the next level

Ryan Haines / Android Authority When Nothing first switched from its original Glyph Interface to the new Glyph Matrix on the Phone 3, I have to say I was underwhelmed. Sure, the LED-filled circle looks cool and promises a new way to interact with your phone, but I couldn’t shake the fact that it felt more like a gimmick than the light-up strips. It packed more toys than tools, and I couldn’t make myself use it enough. But now, I’ve found an app that changes things. It’s called Glyphify, and it

iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 15 Pro: My buying advice after comparing the upgrades

Jason Hiner and Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple just announced the new iPhone 17 Pro at its Awe Dropping live event, and it comes with some pretty substantial upgrades both in terms of design and capabilities. We're talking longer battery life, more onboard memory, a bigger and brighter screen, and an improved camera system. If you've got an iPhone 15 Pro, your device is already two years old. It may look like a good time to spring for the new

I compared Apple and Samsung's best smartwatches - here's who wins for now

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple unveiled its Watch Series 11 during this week's iPhone event, alongside two other smartwatch models. The Series 11 gets Sleep Scores (crowd roars), a longer battery life, and all of Apple's WatchOS 26 software, which is expected to be released to the public soon. Also: I tried the Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3, and SE - what the keynote didn't tell you But how does it compare to its closest Android rival, t

Should you upgrade to an iPhone 17 Pro from last year's model? I am - here's why

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Apple just launched its iPhone 17 Pro. The new model includes some enticing upgrades. I have had the 16 Pro for one year, and might trade it in. While most people choose to wait several years before upgrading their iPhones, that's a bit more challenging for tech aficionados like myself. I really wanted to hold out on upgrading my daily driver, the iPhone 16 Pro, but after watching the launch e

MIT-MC CP/M archive files, 1979-1984 This repository contains code, software, and related files developed for the CP/M operating system, created from 1979-1984.

CorentinJ: Real-Time Voice Cloning (2021)

Real-Time Voice Cloning This repository is an implementation of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis (SV2TTS) with a vocoder that works in real-time. This was my master's thesis. SV2TTS is a deep learning framework in three stages. In the first stage, one creates a digital representation of a voice from a few seconds of audio. In the second and third stages, this representation is used as reference to generate speech given arbitrary text. Video

EPA Seeks to Eliminate Critical PFAS Drinking Water Protections

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it will no longer defend rules that protect people from unsafe levels of PFAS “forever chemicals” in drinking water, seeking to reverse legal protections put into place last year. In its motion filed in federal court yesterday, EPA asked the court to axe its determinations to regulate and enforceable standards for four PFAS chemicals – GenX, PFHxS, PFNA, and PFBS. Separately, EPA previously announced that it will seek to extend the compli

Writing an operating system kernel from scratch

Posted on: September 13, 2025 | at 09:30 AM Follow @popovicu94 I recently implemented a minimal proof of concept time-sharing operating system kernel on RISC-V. In this post, I’ll share the details of how this prototype works. The target audience is anyone looking to understand low-level system software, drivers, system calls, etc., and I hope this will be especially useful to students of system software and computer architecture. This is a redo of an exercise I did for my undergraduate cours

After the Virtual Boy, There’s No Reason Why Nintendo Can’t Bring Back Its Best Handheld

Nintendo doesn’t normally let fans in on its hardware plans, but if you’re the type of person to spot trends, it’s clear the Switch 2 will become the Mario maker’s everything console. Nintendo has started offering more hardware specifically tailored for playing its old, defunct consoles. The inevitable next step is for the company to let us return to its most popular handheld ever, the Nintendo DS. Today, Nintendo decided it was time to bring back what is likely its least popular gaming hardwar

The AI Label Is on Everything Now: That's a Problem for Buyers and Home Brands Alike

If there's one thing I learned from Berlin's 2025 IFA consumer tech show, it's that AI has taken over marketing, too. Even with my smart home focus, it was difficult to find a new product or announcement that didn't have "AI" somewhere in its promotion. That's a problem for the average tech enjoyer, because it's no longer clear what AI means, if it's actually AI in the modern sense (which some would argue isn't even true AI at all), or if it adds anything worth having.

Feds try to dodge lawsuit against their bogus climate report

While the Trump administration has continued to refer to efforts to avoid the worst impacts of climate change as a scam, it has done almost nothing to counter the copious scientific evidence that demonstrates that climate change is real and doing real damage to the citizens of the US. The lone exception has been a draft Department of Energy report prepared by a handful of carefully chosen fringe figures that questioned the mainstream understanding of climate change. The shoddy work and questiona

Hypershell Pro X Series Review: An Exoskeleton You Can Actually Buy

WIRED Editor Amit Katwala has traveled far and wide for a hands-on look at the future of robotic artificial limbs, and the technological progress he witnessed is beyond impressive.

It’s been a few years since Netflix confirmed that Liam Hemsworth would be taking over as Geralt of Rivia in the live-action Witcher series. And while we caught a brief glimpse of him in action last year, the first proper clip from season 4 of the show reveals just how Hemsworth will be inhabiting the role — including his take on Geralt’s signature growling voice.

The Helldivers community is coping with a spotlight it doesn’t want

One of those read “Hey fascist! Catch!” accompanied by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow, and three down arrow

7 launchers you should use instead of Nova Launcher

Andy Walker / Android Authority If you’ve been using Android phones as long as me, it’s impossible that you haven’t dabbled in Nova Launcher at some point. In fact, I’d say that Nova Launcher has been the go-to app for Android customization for well over a decade. It earned that well-deserved status by giving users more control than stock launchers ever could, from how icons looked to how gestures worked to how the app drawer was laid out. But all good things come to an end, and the development
