Micron reports earnings, revenue beat and issues strong forecast

Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra speaks before President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the CHIPS and Science Act and his Investing in America agenda, at the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum in Syracuse, New York, April 25, 2024. Micron shares rose in extended trading on Wednesday after the chipmaker reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue and issued a forecast that also topped analysts' estimates. Here's how the company did in comparison with the LSEG consensus: Earnings per share: $1.91, a

John Oliver Aghast at How AI Slop Is Devouring the Web

It's safe to say that comedian and "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver isn't a fan of AI slop — and he's got a compelling argument for why you shouldn't be, either. As the comedian laid out in the latest episode of his popular HBO show, AI-generated content is suddenly everywhere online. It's going viral on social media, crowding Google Search results and discovery platforms like Pinterest, and has made churning out spam, misinformation, and otherwise empty, low-quality digital stuff easier an

For Replit’s CEO, the future of software is ‘agents all the way down’

Join the event trusted by enterprise leaders for nearly two decades. VB Transform brings together the people building real enterprise AI strategy. Learn more Can enterprise teams truly vibe code their way out of expensive SaaS contracts? Replit CEO and co-founder Amjad Masad seems to think so, and the ambitious vision could mean “agents all the way down.” Speaking at VB Transform on Tuesday, Masad touted how his startup’s agents could help a non-developer design and code a live polling app in

YouTube is introducing a new age restriction next month

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube will raise the minimum age to livestream from 13 to 16 starting July 22. 13–15-year-olds can still appear in streams, but only with an adult visibly present. Live chat may be disabled or streams removed if underage users appear alone. Back in February, Google announced it would start using machine learning to estimate users’ real ages on YouTube, aiming to catch people who lie about their date of birth. The platform now looks to tightening th

Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.1 is ready for testers with a few choice bugfixes

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s first QPR build entered beta testing last month. Two weeks ago we got QPR1 Beta 2 with a handful of new features. Today QPR1 Beta 2.1 arrives, delivering a few fixes for problematic bugs. If you’ve never really been into testing Google’s in-development Android updates, now is probably the best time ever to get started. Pixel owners can opt in to Google’s beta programs for early access to the platform’s latest features, and changes this year t

iPadOS 26 feels like Apple finally taking iPad’s training wheels off

iPad users have been asking for software that matches the device’s powerful hardware for years, and with iPadOS 26 this year, Apple may be set to truly deliver that. Here’s why iPadOS 26 feels like the major shift we’ve all been asking for. iPad has a reputation for being held back by software I’ve been an iPad user since the first model in 2010, and used an iPad Pro as my primary computer nearly a decade. In many ways, I appreciate the iPad’s limitations. The default one-app-at-a-time UI is

Apple’s C1 is coming to this product next, and skipping the rest

When Apple launched its iPhone 16e earlier this year, it included a brand new component: the C1 modem. But more recent devices like the M3 iPad Air and A16 iPad haven’t included it. Here’s where the C1 will appear next, and which products are not expected to get it. Why the C1 modem was worth the wait For many years, Apple has been working to develop its own cellular modem tech. Absent that tech being ready, the company has had to rely on Qualcomm to supply 5G modems for its devices. While Qu

What do Google's Gemini privacy changes actually mean?

A Google email about Gemini privacy is causing quite the stir. The alarm came from a change in what the chatbot can access when your history is turned off. However, the update's implications are far less sensational than initially feared. Here's the heart of the email that set off the hubbub in the otherwise sleepy summer tech press. "Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off." (Emphasis is ours

Hackers abuse Microsoft ClickOnce and AWS services for stealthy attacks

A sophisticated malicious campaign that researchers call OneClik has been leveraging Microsoft’s ClickOnce software deployment tool and custom Golang backdoors to compromise organizations within the energy, oil, and gas sectors. The hackers rely on legitimate AWS cloud services (AWS, Cloudfront, API Gateway, Lambda) to keep the command and control (C2) infrastructure hidden. ClickOnce is a deployment technology from Microsoft that allows developers to create self-updating Windows-based applica

Tired of upgrading your phone? This sustainable Android lets you do your own repairs

If you're tired of your phone being out of date every two years, there may finally be an answer. The Fairphone (Gen. 6) is here, and while it might appear at first glance to be a generic, midrange Android phone, its design is something unique. Also: Why I recommend this budget Android phone to most people over Samsung and Google Like the Fairphone (Gen. 5) that debuted in 2023, the latest Fairphone is focused on sustainability. The company uses ethically sourced materials, pays fair wages to

Do We Need Another Green Revolution?

The Green Revolution got off to a rocky start. In the fall of 1944, Norman Borlaug, who would become known as the revolution’s father, moved to Mexico to set up a plant-breeding program. Right away, he came down with a stomach crud. It was, he would later tell an interviewer, “the usual tourist thing,” except that it lasted for weeks. Though he had found his previous position, with DuPont, to be boring, in those weeks Borlaug decided that maybe it hadn’t been so bad. “If I could have gotten my j

Broken by Design: Systemd

Broken by design: systemd 09 Feb 2014 19:56:09 GMT Recently the topic of systemd has come up quite a bit in various communities in which I'm involved, including the musl IRC channel and on the Busybox mailing list. While the attitude towards systemd in these communities is largely negative, much of what I've seen has been either dismissable by folks in different circles as mere conservatism, or tempered by an idea that despite its flaws, "the design is sound". This latter view comes with the

Microsoft Dependency Has Risks

There was a recent incident where Microsoft somehow allegedly blocked a mailbox of a sanctioned individual. Any organization highly depending on MS products that might come into the crosshair should ask - can this happen to me? What would be the cost? How much I invest into prevention of this scenario? In this article I try to get the facts straight and use a return on security investment calculation to try and judge this situation in a rational way. Let’s grab our tinfoil hats and find out if i

Coccinelle for Rust Progress Report

In collaboration with Inria (the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation), Tathagata Roy shares the progress made over the past year on the CoccinelleForRust project, co-sponsored by Collabora. Coccinelle is a tool for automatic program matching and transformation that was originally developed for making large-scale changes to the Linux kernel source code (i.e., C code). Matches and transformations are driven by user-specific transformation rules in the form of abstract

A New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands the Same Side Up

In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem, for instance, asks how densely you can pack “regular” tetrahedra, which have identical faces. Another as

BBC Apologizes for Accidentally Spoiling ‘Doctor Who’ Finale in News Report

The BBC’s apology for posting about that shocking Doctor Who finale reveal before the whole world got a chance to watch comes a little too late. For many, the spoiler was prominently featured online as soon as Ncuti Gatwa took his bow and regenerated into the franchise’s favorite companion, Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. Was she some sort of Rose variant, the role she originated in the series, meant to wrap things up with the David Tennant 14th Doctor running around? We don’t yet know. How

Cargo Ship Carrying Flaming EVs Sinks Off the Coast of Alaska

If you were waiting on a new car, the Domino’s Pizza Tracker equivalent for vehicle orders might be stuck at the “Delivery” spot for a while. A cargo ship carrying a fleet of electric vehicles, hybrids, and gas-powered vehicles sank, according to the New York Times, after catching fire while crossing the Pacific. The Morning Midas, a ship sailing under a Liberian flag and managed by international shipping firm Zodiac Maritime, went under about 360 nautical miles from the coast of Alaska, accord

Apple Hopes Tennis Will Remind You the Apple Sports App Exists

Apple is adding a few new capabilities to the Apple Sports app that it hopes will convince you to actually download the thing. Its biggest item on the list of additions: tennis. For the first time, Apple Sports will now be able to track and relay tennis scores in real time. In Apple’s own words: “Tennis fans can access live scores for Grand Slam and 1000-level tournaments, and can track every point across all men’s and women’s singles matches, beginning with Wimbledon.” No disrespect—I’m not a

Amazon Sells the 2025 MacBook Air Without a Profit Margin, Now Much Cheaper Than on Apple’s Official Site

Apple stands out as one of the most premium brands, regularly launching updated versions of its popular MacBook Air. To protect its image, Apple almost never cuts prices on new models—especially right after release. However, Amazon occasionally offers major deals on Apple products, and these are worth watching for. This year, the brand-new MacBook Air 2025 with the powerful M4 chip and 256GB storage has hit an all-time low price. By combining an instant discount with a $49 coupon, the price dro

Honestly, I Don't Think You're Ready for This Old West Horror Flick on Netflix

If you were to ask my wife what type of movies I like, she'd tell you I'm a fanatic for horror flicks and Westerns. As is the case with being a busy dad, though, I never seem to find enough time in my schedule to kick back on the couch and enjoy either. How amazing would it be to queue up a double feature at home to feed my need for scares and outlaw justice? Very, is the answer. The reality of the situation, though, finds me sharing a house with a spouse who despises scary movies and a six-yea
