Billionaire Mark Cuban Says AI Gives Workers ‘Superpowers,’ but Crypto Is ‘Not Even Close’ to Its iPhone Moment

Mark Cuban has always been tech’s most pragmatic and outspoken billionaire. As an early internet entrepreneur, a prolific investor on Shark Tank, and the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, he’s seen multiple hype cycles come and go. He was an early advocate for crypto’s potential but has remained a sharp critic of its excesses. Now, as the twin forces of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency dominate the conversation, we asked Cuban to weigh in. In this exclusive Q&A, he explains why he thinks

Ted Cruz’s Bid to Reclaim Space Shuttle Discovery Could Cost $400 Million

At a time when money is too tight for NASA’s science exploration endeavors, Texas senators are willing to pour millions into a risky process to relocate the Space Shuttle to Houston under the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill. President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday, includes a provision to move the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Virginia to Space Center Houston. The Bring the Space Shuttle Home Act was added to t

America’s birthday is, of course, a cause for celebration. So is a 3-day holiday weekend that you can spend grilling and hanging out with friends and family. And if you’re a runner, triathlete, or other kind of dedicated fitness fanatic, there’s one more reason to light up some fireworks this weekend — Amazon’s just dropped the price of the awesome Garmin Forerunner 255 GPS running smartwatch to an all-time low of just $200 (43% off). Any Garmin deal is going to get the attention of athletes an

OpenAI Hits the Panic Button

This week, the world’s most important artificial intelligence company was closed. OpenAI gave its entire staff a week off to “recharge,” a seemingly generous perk for a workforce relentlessly pushing toward building a world-changing technology. But this was not a wellness initiative. It was a strategic retreat in the middle of a brutal, high-stakes war for talent that is now threatening to shatter the company’s carefully crafted identity. The enemy is Meta Platforms, the social media empire th

This $400 Robot Vacuum Is Stealing the Spotlight From $1,000+ Competitors on Amazon

The sheer number of robot vacuums now available on the market is both good and bad news if you’re shopping for one: Good because you’ve got a lot of models to pick from, but bad because you can spend a lot of time going around in circles trying to figure out which option might be best for you. If you’re aiming to get the most bang for your buck—and we’re assuming most people are—then the Eureka E20 Plus robovac deserves a place on your shopping shortlist. Right now it’s at its lowest price so f

Tariff Impacts Are Real: These 13 Companies Have Confirmed Price Hikes

Higher prices for a lot of popular products seem inevitable on our current trajectory. James Martin/CNET In many cases and for many products in the US, the biggest impacts of President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff plans haven't hit yet -- but they could soon, unless the 90-day pause on some rates is extended. Still, numerous companies have already hiked prices or said that they'll increase in the near-future -- including, most recently, a popular and CNET-approved brand of smart lights. Th

These Are the Easiest Ways to Watch YouTube Videos Without Internet

There's a good chance you've used YouTube to watch a video at least once in the past month. Over 2.7 billion people use the online video platform every month, according to research from the digital marketing firm Global Media Insight. But if you're going somewhere with limited internet or trying to conserve data on your phone plan, you might want to download some YouTube videos to entertain yourself. Luckily, there are ways to download YouTube videos to watch offline. Subscribing to YouTube Pre

I'm Still Obsessed With This Cult Conspiracy Thriller and Now It's on Netflix

Every once in a while, a TV show comes out of nowhere and changes the very fabric of the medium. Off the top of my head, I can think of five: Twin Peaks, Lost, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. After Vince Gilligan's hit drug drama ended in 2013, I wondered what series would capture the cultural zeitgeist next. The answer came in the form of an edgy show about the internet, of all things. It starred a relatively unknown character actor as a flawed, neurodivergent hacker genius who

After Years of Testing Skincare, I Found a Product That Calms My Breakouts

CNET's key takeaways The Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray always calms my skin when I'm dealing with a breakout or redness. It can be purchased for as low as $12 for a travel size. The SOS Rescue Spray contains hypochlorous acid, a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. When I was a teenager, I dealt with acne and spent years testing various products to get rid of it to no avail. Now, as an adult, I still have the occasional breakout, but I've since found a product that calms my skin and redu

This Unique Controller Is Cool but Pointless for Most Gamers

Pro-level game controllers have been becoming more mainstream over the past several years, offering gamers a host of new features not found on the controllers that came with their systems. These features include extra mappable buttons, swappable gamepads and other customizability options. However, I don't think I've ever seen a controller that offers two dedicated button layouts within the same device. The Stealth Pivot from Turtle Beach lets you physically rotate the gamepads to reveal a whole

I Loved Using This Keyboard, but There Was One Thing I Just Couldn't Get Used To

Gaming keyboards are everywhere these days, and with a plethora of options available it's not hard to find a good one. They can also be expensive, so it can be difficult to know if the investment is worth the money. It's with that in mind I got in the new the new Vulcan II Mini Air from Turtle Beach. I have some thoughts. Turtle Beach bought the company behind these keyboards, Roccat, several years ago, but it only started phasing out that branding in May of 2024. So you might still find the Ro

The EU Proposes New Rules to Govern the European Space Race

There are around 11,000 satellites orbiting Earth, and it is estimated that at least 50,000 more will be launched in the next decade. There are also exploration instruments, resupply vessels, and complexes like the International Space Station. But who regulates all this activity in space? In the absence of clear regulations, the European Union has proposed the Space Act, a set of measures that seeks to make the European space sector a cleaner, safer, and more competitive environment, both domest

This Is Why Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Needed Human Babysitters

Whether due to consumer backlash or an aging EV lineup, or both, Tesla sales have again seen a global plunge, this time 13 percent last quarter compared to the previous year—proof that the electric automaker hasn’t yet turned around a dismal year that saw public opinion of controversial CEO Elon Musk plummet. It could mean Tesla faces a second straight year of falling sales. And yet: Tesla is still the world’s most valuable automaker by market capitalization, worth some $990 billion. At least s

The 13 Best Fans for the Coolest Summer (2025)

Honorable Mentions Photograph: Kat Merck Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo for $120: I love the original Shark FlexBreeze (above), so I was very excited to see Shark had released a rechargeable portable fan in seven colors, including ones not normally seen in fans like Lilac and Honeydew. Shark says it can run 30 minutes with the mister consistently on or 60 minutes with it in (interval mode?), and after testing it at my son’s soccer practices, I was impressed that these estimates were more or less acc

15 Best Heat Protectant Sprays for Wet and Dry Hair (2025)

Other Heat Protectants We Tried Photograph: Kat Merck R+Co Bleu Hypersonic Heat Styling Mist for $36: This high-tech-looking aerosol in a recycled aluminum bottle was a favorite during the early weeks of testing—I liked its protection up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and its frizz-fighting properties. However, it does use a polymer and resin complex to smooth hair, and over time I noticed it was leaving a sticky residue on my hands and heat tools. Sutra Heat Guard Blowout Cream for $24: I love Su

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability

The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular than older models in the series, but it’s just as repairable. The phone picked up a perfect score in iFixit’s teardown test, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It helps that the only tool you do need — throughout the phone — is a T5 Torx screwdriver, and only seven screws sit between you and a battery swap. Fairphone itself has shown you can get from shutdown to reboot with a new cell in just two minutes, so it’s still a si

New Galaxy Z Fold 7 leaks may give first real look at Samsung’s slimmer foldable

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been given the thinner, sleeker glow-up we expected, if leaked hands-on photos are any indication. The trio of images posted by leaker @Jukanlosreve seemingly show what the next-gen Galaxy foldable will look like in the real world from a few different angles. The new photographs mostly line up with what we’ve seen in previous renders, including the larger, slimmer chassis that’s reported to be around 4.5mm thick when open. That’s slimmer than its 5.6mm Gal

One UI 8 will take Samsung’s Audio Eraser to the next level

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s One UI 8 will upgrade the Audio Eraser feature, allowing real-time noise removal during video playback. The feature originally debuted with the Galaxy S25 series and reached older flagships via the One UI 7 update. The new version would likely debut on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. Samsung’s Galaxy AI-powered Audio Eraser feature is getting a major upgrade with the upcoming One UI 8 update based on Android 16. According to a new leak,

Google Messages could give profile pages a dash of Material 3 Expressive personality (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR In addition to other areas of the Google Messages app, Google is testing Material 3 Expressive design changes for the profile section. The profile section will soon feature updated buttons that change shape and include tap animations. Android 16 is here, but most of its Material 3 Expressive changes will be coming with the Android 16 QPR1 release later in the year. However, that doesn’t stop apps from updating themselves with Material 3 Expressive ele

Here are the letters that let Apple and Google ignore the TikTok ban

More than six months after TikTok was briefly banned, we still don't know exactly what its fate in the US will be. But we do have new insight into the legal wrangling that has allowed Apple, Google and other platforms to continue to support the app. If you remember, TikTok was only "banned" for a matter of hours shortly before President Donald Trump took office in January and delayed enforcement of the law. The app's service was promptly restored January 19, 2025, but the app didn't return to A

Alternative Blanket Implementations for a Single Rust Trait

July 01, 2025 #rust #traits #patterns Serhii PotapovJuly 01, 2025 Rust's trait system is famously powerful - and famously strict about avoiding ambiguity. One such rule is that you can't have multiple blanket implementations of the same trait that could potentially apply to the same type. What Is a Blanket Implementation? A blanket implementation is a trait implementation that applies to any type meeting certain constraints, typically via generics. A classic example from the standard librar

Context Engineering for Agents

Lance Martin TL;DR Agents need context to perform tasks. Context engineering is the art and science of filling the context window with just the right information at each step of an agent’s trajectory. In this post, I group context engineering into a few common strategies seen across many popular agents today. Context Engineering As Andrej Karpathy puts it, LLMs are like a new kind of operating system. The LLM is like the CPU and its context window is like the RAM, serving as the model’s work

The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history

The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history and may not be done falling yet. The greenback is down more than 7% this year and Morgan Stanley predicts it could fall another 10%. A weaker dollar could make US exports more competitive, boosting Trump’s plan to rebalance US trade, but makes imports more expensive, adding to the sting of tariffs. The question ahead is whether the dollar doesn’t just lose its value, but its role at the center of the global financial system. So far,

How AI on Microcontrollers Actually Works: Operators and Kernels

The buzz around “edge AI”, which means something slightly different to almost everyone you talk to, is well past reaching a fever pitch. Regardless of what edge AI means to you, the one commonality is typically that the hardware on which inference is being performed is constrained in one or more dimensions, whether it be compute, memory, or network bandwidth. Perhaps the most constrained of these platforms are microcontrollers. I have found that, while there is much discourse around “running AI

WASM Agents: AI agents running in the browser

One of the main barriers to a wider adoption of open-source agents is the dependency on extra tools and frameworks that need to be installed before the agents can be run. In this post, we show how to write agents as HTML files, which can just be opened and run in a browser. One of the main barriers to a wider adoption and experimentation with open-source agents is the dependency on extra tools and frameworks that need to be installed before the agents can be run.
