Salesforce CEO Claims Half of the Company’s Work Is Now Done by AI

While many companies that went all in on AI have since pulled back, Salesforce is going full steam ahead. In an interview with Bloomberg, CEO Marc Benioff claimed that as much as 30% to 50% of the company’s work is now completed by AI—though no word on how much of his role personally has been made redunant or how much of his $39.6 million in compensation that he’ll be giving up. “All of us have to get our head around this idea that AI could do things that before, we were doing, and we can move

Best Internet Providers in Oakland, California

AT&T Fiber is CNET's pick for the best internet provider in Oakland thanks to its extensive coverage and speeds of up to 5 gigabits. However, Sonic, known as the best regional provider, has been gaining ground with its expanding network. Oakland residents now have a broad range of ISPs to choose from.

Apple’s China comeback playbook now includes government-backed discounts

After a rocky stretch, Apple managed to bounce back last month with a 15% jump in iPhone sales, driven largely by renewed demand in the U.S. and China. In China, especially, Apple had been losing ground to local brands benefiting from government subsidies on lower-cost phones. Now, it appears Apple is joining the subsidy program itself. When in China… take the subsidy As reported by South China Morning Post (via MacRumors), shoppers in Shanghai and Beijing can now get up to ¥2,000 (about US$2

How to Think About Time in Programming

How to Think About Time in Programming Date published: Jun 23, 2025 Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear.

China's first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100, performs like a 13-year-old Nvidia GTX 660 Ti

Facepalm: China recently unveiled its first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100. Built on a 6nm process, the card was touted as a potential rival to Nvidia's RTX 4060. However, a recent Geekbench listing suggests its performance is closer to that of the 13-year-old GeForce GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370. The listing also appears to reveal shockingly anemic specifications, including just 32 Compute Units, 256 MB of VRAM, and a 300 MHz GPU clock. Overall, the card managed a score of only 15,

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher

AMD Ryzen 5 9600X3D leak hints at mid-range push with 3D V-Cache

Something to look forward to: AMD is preparing to expand its mid-range CPU lineup with the Ryzen 5 9600X3D, a chip that would bring 3D V-Cache tech to a broader audience of gamers and PC builders. The existence of this new chip wasn't revealed through a formal announcement, but rather via a support list for AMD's recently launched Radeon AI R9700 graphics card, where the processor appeared alongside other unreleased models. This leak has fueled speculation that AMD is looking to strengthen its

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter. I thought it would be a good idea to compare this lens to the Galaxy S23 Ultr

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory

The 2009 discovery of footprints (human and animal) left behind in layers of clay and silt at New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparked a contentious debate about when, exactly, human cultures first developed in North America. Until about a decade ago, it seemed as if the first Americans arrived near the end of the last Ice Age and were part of the Clovis culture, named for the distinctive projectile points they left behind near what’s now Clovis, New Mexico. But various dating methods indi

Why I recommend this power bank to most iPhone users - especially if you travel often

ZDNET's key takeaways The Nitecore NW5000 has an ultralight and ultrathin design that blends into the iPhone.

This is why my iPhone is almost always rocking with a magnetic power bank attach

Best Internet Providers in Rochester, New York

Spectrum has a lot to offer, including extensive coverage in the area, affordable starting prices and lightning-fast speeds.

New Study Backs Controversial Claim of 23,000-Year-Old Human Footprints in New Mexico

In 2021, researchers working in New Mexico published a paper that contributed to what remains one of the most controversial topics in American archaeology. The study describes human footprints in White Sands National Park dating to between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago, making them the oldest-known footprints in North America. This challenges long-held beliefs that the first North Americans were the Clovis people—named after artifacts found near Clovis, New Mexico—who arrived between 13,000 and 13
