techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-12-29 11:53:34

During the first few months of the new Trump administration, the White House slashed cybersecurity budgets, staff, and initiatives. And some, including cybersecurity experts and legislators, are not happy about it. One of them is Colin Ahern, the chief cyber officer for the state of New York. In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Ahern said that both he and New York Governor Kathy Hochul are worried that the Trump administration’s cuts to cybersecurity are putting the country at risk. “We wor

Here’s how Samsung is speeding up software updates for Galaxy devices

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 02:13:53

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung managed to release its Android 16-based One UI 8 update so quickly by adopting Google’s new “Trunk Stable” development model. Instead of using separate branches for new versions, all development now happens on a single, stable codebase with features hidden behind flags until ready. This trunk-based approach avoids the time-consuming “merge conflicts” of the old model, enabling a much faster release schedule for Google and Samsung. While Google

AI companies like OpenAI and Perplexity like to be the "everything company," and OpenAI's latest ChatGPT feature, "Shopping," makes that obvious. Financial Times recently reported that ChatGPT is testing a new shopping feature where you could buy products directly from the app. When ChatGPT 'converts' sales for merchants, OpenAI gets a percentage of the revenue.

Twenty-three years after launch, Final Fantasy XI servers are overwhelmed by a new wave of players

What just happened? Final Fantasy XI was the first massively multiplayer online entry in the iconic JRPG series. Remarkably, it's still being actively played today – so much so that the developers recently had to temporarily suspend new account registrations due to a surge in player traffic. Final Fantasy XI was also the first online RPG to offer cross-platform play between PlayStation 2 consoles and Windows PCs. Despite requiring a monthly subscription, FFXI remains remarkably popular.

From Harvard to Half-Life: Gabe Newell reflects on his unconventional path to founding Valve

Why it matters: A week ago, we highlighted the surprising interview Valve co-founder Gabe Newell gave to a little-known YouTube channel, where he revealed his unconventional daily routine and passion for scuba diving. But beyond the lifestyle quirks lies a deeper, more instructive story – how a chance encounter with Steve Ballmer at Microsoft pulled Newell away from Harvard and into a 13-year tenure at the software giant.

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority The question “Should I buy a new phone?” holds more weight than we imagine. For most of us, phones are our trusted associates, and parting with them isn’t easy.

Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995, over 60 years after their eradication from the national park. Yellowstone's wolves are helping a new generation of young aspen trees to grow tall and join the forest canopy — the first new generation of such trees in Yellowstone's northern range in 80 years. Gray wolves (Canis lupus) had disappeared from Yellowstone National Park by 1930 following extensive habitat loss, human hunting and government eradication programs. Without these top predat
