These are the best streaming services you aren’t watching

We all know how to find our favorite shows and blockbuster films on mainstream streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+. But even as streaming has opened the door to millions of hours of on-demand entertainment, it can still feel like there’s nothing fresh or exciting to watch anymore.

SAP is acquiring SmartRecruiters

In Brief SAP announced Friday that it has reached an agreement to acquire recruiting software company SmartRecruiters. In a press release, the European software giant said that SmartRecruiters “powerful, user-friendly interfaces and seamless workflows” will complement SAP’s existing HR tools.

Tim Cook has now been Apple CEO for longer than Steve Jobs

The big picture: This month marks Tim Cook's 14th year as CEO of Apple. As the company looks toward future software and hardware launches, Cook remains optimistic about the Vision Pro despite its tepid reception. Meanwhile, analysts and insiders struggle to predict who his successor might be. Cook's comments on the Vision Pro, one of the signature products of his tenure, came during Apple's earnings call for the quarter ending in June. He discussed the headset's upcoming OS update and enterpris

Scientists transform peacock feathers into tiny biological laser beams

TL;DR: Scientists have long been fascinated by the vibrant colors and intricate structures found in the feathers of birds like the Indian Peafowl (commonly known as the peacock). A new study has shed light on a surprising property of these iconic tail feathers: their ability to act as tiny laser resonators when infused with a common fluorescent dye. The research, conducted by researchers from several US universities and published in Nature, set out to explore the behavior of peacock feather bar

Apple reportedly has a 'stripped-down' AI chatbot to compete with ChatGPT in the works

Apple has fallen far behind in the competitive market of AI-powered chatbots, but it may have a plan for an in-house option that aligns with the company's "not first, but best" philosophy. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple created a team called "Answers, Knowledge and Information" earlier this year that's tasked with developing a "stripped-down rival to ChatGPT." Forming this team represents a major change in direction from Apple's earlier stance on artificial intelligence when the co

The Best Foods to Put On Your Plate if You Have a Headache

If taking an aspirin or simply lying down isn't cutting it when you have a headache, you may want to consider what's on your plate for relief. While no food will cure headaches or migraines, certain foods may help -- in addition to hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management. "The most important thing I tell patients is that migraines are highly individualized," says Dr. Nicholas Church, a board-certified member of the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Academy of Family Ph

Flourishing chemosynthetic life at the greatest depths of hadal trenches

The investigation was carried out during TS42 cruise between 7 July and 18 August 2024 by RV Tan Suo Yi Hao with the full-ocean-depth human-occupied vehicle Fendouzhe, which was fitted with hydraulically powered manipulators on two swing arms. Under the guidance of operators in the human-occupied vehicle, the arms efficiently acquired the samples and stored them safely in a biological box and a geological box of the vehicle.

People still use our old-fashioned Unix login servers

You're using a tool with a too-generic User-Agent You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace, the wiki thing it's part of. Unfortunately whatever you're using to do so has a HTTP User-Agent header value that is too generic or otherwise excessively suspicious. Unfortunately, as of early 2025 there's a plague of high volume crawlers (apparently in part to gather data for LLM training) that behave like this. To reduce th

Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year

“A lot of factors contributed to this, but speed limits are one of the most important,” said Roni Utriainen , traffic engineer with the city’s Urban Environment Division. Authorities described the milestone as exceptional and credited long-term planning, targeted infrastructure changes, and lower speed limits. Helsinki has completed an entire year without a single traffic-related fatality, according to city and police officials. The last recorded death occurred in early July 2024 in the Kontul

Self-Employed, Self-Exhausted

For most of my adult life, I’ve worked like I’m running out of time. Maybe because I am. (Aren’t we all?) The leukemia diagnosis and relapses certainly intensified the urgency I feel around work, but the truth is my sense of self-worth was tethered to my output long before that. I used to think that once I made it—got the book deal, built a steady-enough stream of freelance work, stashed away some savings to weather a health crisis or creative drought—I’d finally feel free to slow down when I w

Darksiders 4 was not on my 2025 bingo card

Darksiders 4 is officially coming. During the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase on Friday, we got a glimpse at the next game in the hack and slash action-adventure franchise, alongside trailers for roughly a dozen other games that are in the works, including Reanimal and The Eternal Life of Goldman . It's been a while since we've seen a new mainline Darksiders title from developer Gunfire Games, and while the fourth entry follows 2019's prequel, Darksiders Genesis, the announcement says it will "conti

Show HN: NaturalCron – Human-Readable Scheduling for .NET (With Fluent Builder)

NaturalCron NaturalCron is a human-readable scheduling engine for .NET. It lets you write schedules in a clear and intuitive way instead of memorizing cryptic cron strings. Why? Because memorizing 0 18 * * 1-5 is harder than understanding every day between monday and friday at 6:00pm . Readable schedules reduce mistakes, write expressions that you can understand at a glance. Note: NaturalCron is not a cron converter. It’s a new expressive syntax for better readability. 💡 Why use NaturalCron

Best Stores for Buying MP3 and Digital Music You Can Keep Forever

CNET staff -- not advertisers, partners or business interests -- determine how we review products and services. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. With streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, accessing your favorite albums and songs is affordable and easy.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung revise advertising over exaggerated AI claims after regulator scrutiny

Cutting corners: As the landscape for AI-powered products evolves, companies face growing demands to deliver not just innovation, but clearly supported and honestly communicated claims about what their technology can actually do. "When you market AI like magic, you're going to invite scrutiny," said George Heudorfer, an adjunct professor at the University of New Haven's Pompea College of Business. "Sometimes that exaggeration isn't just puffery. It's a performance claim, and you need to back tha

Fired by video: Atlassian terminates 150 workers using pre-recorded video, sparking criticism

Cutting corners: Receiving a layoff notice is always hard, but the way the message is delivered can make the experience even more painful. The latest example: Atlassian's termination notification to 150 employees through a pre-recorded video. The restructuring not only highlights concerns about impersonal layoff announcements but also reflects the increasing influence of AI on jobs in the technology industry. Australian software giant Atlassian has eliminated 150 jobs as part of a major restruc

Surprise! Random Cans of Celsius Energy Drink Actually Contain Vodka After Factory Accident, Company Admits

This is quite the mixup. Bottlenecked The next time you need an energy boost, you might end up getting tipsy instead. In a recall notice that's both bizarre and unintentionally comical, the Food and Drug Administration is warning that some 12-packs of High Noon vodka seltzer may contain mislabeled cans of Celsius — a non-alcoholic energy drink that's popular everywhere these days, but perhaps particularly on Capitol Hill — which are, in a convoluted twist, actually full of High Noon, complete

New IVF Startup Claims It Can Predict an Embryo's IQ

The 21st century has seen startups rise from a relatively niche business approach to a multi-trillion-dollar phenomenon. Between 2021 and 2023, startups generated an estimated $7.6 trillion in global value. From 2019 to 2023 — a rocky period for the economy overall — the number of startups in the US still increased by 16 percent. But with all that success comes a whole lotta risk. It's estimated that over two-thirds of startups fail to deliver a positive return to investors. Many fail before th

I’ve been a Spotify user since 2008, and these are the 5 tricks everyone should know

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I received my invite to join Spotify back in November of 2008 — yes, back then, you couldn’t sign up by yourself; another user had to invite you with a personalized link first. I created an account, used my free trial, and finally had access to the world’s largest music streaming platform. For the first few years, though, I kept switching between Spotify and my personal music collection, canceling and restarting my subscription, until Spotify won, and it was g

I want Gemini to be my DJ in YouTube Music

Stephen Headrick / Android Authority Imagine having your very own DJ in your pocket, ready to mix your favorite songs at a moment’s notice. No, not your dad’s 3-5 second crossfade, but instead a completely customized mix that makes the two songs you’re transitioning between meld together like they were designed that way by the artists themselves. That’s the idea behind Apple Music’s upcoming AI-powered AutoMix feature, which is coming with this fall’s iOS 26 release. As a former Spotify user a

Compressing Icelandic name declension patterns into a 3.27 kB trie

Compressing Icelandic name declension patterns into a 3.27 kB trie August 2, 2025 Displaying personal names in Icelandic user interfaces is surprisingly hard. This is because of declension — a language feature where the forms of nouns change to communicate a syntactic function. In Icelandic, personal names have four forms, one for each of the grammatical cases of Icelandic nouns. Take the name “Guðmundur”: Grammatical case Form Nominative Guðmundur Accusative Guðmund Dative Guðmundi Genitive

A US-Only TikTok? What We Know So Far About the Potential Replacement App

A new version of the TikTok mobile app for people in the US is reportedly being developed by the vertical video social media network's owner ByteDance. It will replace the current version of TikTok being used in the US ahead of a September deadline for the Chinese company to divest ownership, according to a report last month by The Information. The new app, codenamed "M2," could launch on Sept. 5. If you're in the US, you would then be required to switch from the existing app to the new one, th
