Trump Media Has a Bold Plan to Regain Confidence

Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, announced an ambitious new financial strategy on Monday: it’s going to spend up to $400 million to buy its own stock. In a press release, CEO Devin Nunes framed the move as a resounding “vote of confidence in our Company, our stock, and our strategic plans.” With approximately $3 billion in cash on its balance sheet, Nunes argued, the company has the flexibility to take actions that “support strong shareholder returns.” But in

Samsung's Cheaper Galaxy Flip 7 FE Foldable Phone Shows Up In New Leak

New renders of the rumored Galaxy Z Flip7 FE phone, a cheaper alternative to last year's Z Flip 6, have hit the internet via notable leaker Evan Blass. The images were shared Monday on smartphone news site Phone Arena. The FE stands for Founders Edition and is Samsung's way of offering comparable devices with slightly weakened specs for more affordable prices. Past FE phones include the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and FE Plus. The renders show off a device that looks very s

With 1.2.2 update, Civilization VII tries to win back traditionalists

It has been just over 130 days since Civilization VII launched to mostly positive reviews—but quite a bit of disappointment for series traditionalists. At first, developer Firaxis was releasing primarily bug, balance, and UI fixes, but today saw the release of version 1.2.2—possibly the biggest yet in terms of adding features to the game. Available for all platforms except Switch and Switch 2—which will get it later—the update adds several tweaks that allow the game's players to customize games

Scientists Are Sending Cannabis Seeds to Space

Having dedicated much of his working life to studying the cannabis plant, Radišič believes it is uniquely qualified for space agriculture. It grows fast, adapts well, and has been an agricultural crop for thousands of years. According to Radišič, if at some point we want to grow life on Mars, this makes it an ideal candidate. “Sooner or later, we will have lunar bases, and cannabis, with its versatility, is the ideal plant to supply those projects,” he tells WIRED. “It can be a source of food, p

Hue’s new smart button is bigger and more expensive

Smart lighting company Hue has released a new version of its Smart Button, one of the simplest ways of controlling Hue’s colorful smart lights. The new Smart Button has a bigger design and a bit of price hike — in the U.S., at least, where it now costs $32.99 compared to $29.99 for its predecessor. That’s significantly more than the UK and EU pricing for the new button — £19.99 and €21.99 respectively — possibly a sign of things to come. The new button is available now directly from Hue’s site.

Next-gen Xbox and PlayStation 6 expected in 2027, powered by AMD's UDNA graphics

Something to look forward to: If rumors prove accurate, Sony and Microsoft may once again align on GPU architecture for their next-generation consoles, this time leveraging AMD's upcoming UDNA graphics platform. The expected performance gains in ray tracing and AI upscaling suggest a significant shift that could outpace current PC GPUs on a per-compute-unit basis. With both companies also exploring handheld form factors and staggered launch timelines, these developments offer an early look at th

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be one of the first foldables with an IP68 rating

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to sport a smaller hinge. The outer display may be bigger than last year, despite the device being roughly the same size. Google’s foldable could have an IP68 rating. As other brands race to make the thinnest foldable on the market, there haven’t really been any hints that Google is chasing after the same goal. Even if Google may not be interested in claiming the title of world’s thinnest, it seems we can still expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to be a bit slimm

Currently off by default, the toggle works as advertised by simply restoring the frosted layer of menu bar background across the width of your Mac display.

Riot Games shuts down Hypixel Studios and ends development of Hytale

It was set to be a cool riff on Minecraft with more combat and RPG mechanics. Here's a bit of sad news for gamers. Hypixel Studios is shutting down and ending development of Hytale. The game looked pretty nifty, combining action-RPG mechanics with Minecraft. Riot Games purchased the developer back in 2020, though it has been working on Hytale a lot longer than that .

Rubin Observatory, a sample of the footage it'll capture as part of a planned decade-long survey that's starting later in 2025.

Your Android phone just got a major Gemini upgrade for music fans - and it's free

NurPhoto/Contributor/Getty The next time you can't remember the name of that song that's stuck in your head, Gemini might be able to help you. One lesser-known feature of Google Assistant was the ability to identify a song, either by letting it listen to a track that was playing or by humming the tune. Pixel phones have a similar feature built in, but if you were on another Android device, you were just left wondering since Assistant switched to Gemini (or you resorted to the Google app or a t

Ford Will Keep Battery Factory Even If Republicans Ax Tax Break

In addition to giving tax breaks to consumers who buy or lease electric cars and trucks, the Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits for automakers and suppliers that build battery plants in the United States. If the credits survive, they could offset about a quarter of the cost of the plant in Marshall, Ford executives said. The House version of the Republican bill would eliminate credits for plants that were built with materials or technology from China, Iran, North Korea or Russia. The
