We're only days away from the Microsoft Authenticator app no longer managing passwords. As of this Friday, you won't be able to save or manage passwords, use two-factor authentication or auto-fill. And it won't be your go-to password manager anymore, either. Earlier this summer, Microsoft announced it was moving from passwords to passkeys.

A guide to using Edits, Meta’s CapCut rival for short-form video editing

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-12-24 12:17:11

Meta recently released a new video editing app for creators called Edits. The new app is designed to rival ByteDance’s CapCut, a popular short-form video-editing app used by many creators. Meta first shared that it was working on Edits back in January after ByteDance-owned CapCut was removed from U.S. app stores when the TikTok ban momentarily went into effect. Although the app has since come back online and is available to download, TikTok’s future in the U.S. remains uncertain, so Meta is rea

A group of Cornell computer scientists has unveiled what they believe could be a new tool in the fight against AI‑generated video, deepfakes and doctored clips.

Physicists Catch ‘Ghost Particles’ Bouncing Off Matter in Record-Breaking Experiment

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-24 17:00:53

Neutrinos are everywhere. About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through our bodies every second, but they’re so weakly interacting we never notice them. It’s this spooky feature of neutrinos that earned them the nickname “ghost particles.” Antineutrinos, their antimatter counterpart, are also everywhere. Both are notoriously difficult to detect, but physicists are getting better at circumventing their ghostly tendencies, as a recent record-setting measurement demonstrates. When a low-energy neutrin

YouTube loosens profanity rules for monetized videos

YouTube is tweaking its profanity-related rules to allow creators to monetize videos with swearing in them, provided the profanity is contained to the first seven seconds of the video. In November 2022, YouTube changed its rules so that creators who used swear words in the first 8-15 seconds would potentially be ineligible for any ad revenue. After much backlash, the company changed its rules again in March 2023 so that such videos would be eligible for limited ad revenue, unless they use profa
