Errors found in US judge’s withdrawn decision stink of AI

A US district court judge has withdrawn his decision in a biopharma securities case after lawyers noted that his opinion referenced fake quotes and other erroneous case information — mistakes mirroring errors in other legal cases that have been attributed to artificial intelligence tools. In a letter sent to New Jersey Judge Julien Xavier N

Rare Bone-Eating Cancer Replaced Man’s Finger and Toe

A 55-year-old man’s swollen toes and fingers turned out to have a much stranger explanation than expected. In a recent case report, the man’s doctors detailed how some of his bones were “completely replaced” by metastatic tumors. Doctors in Australia described the case earlier this month in the New England Journal of Medicine. The man visited the hospital after weeks of having pain and swelling in one finger and one toe. They soon discovered the symptoms were an unusual complication of the man’

This Retro PC Case Gives Your Gaming Rig Big Windows 95 Energy

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. It’s enough to turn off the parts of my brain that would normally despise the look of a big, gray, plastic box and transform me into a drooling retro devotee ready to hand over his cash just to hear those fans whir. That was my first reaction when I saw custom PC maker Maingear’s new Retro95 throwback PC case. It comes packed with the modern components you expect to see in a modern gaming rig, but it adds extras like an optical disc drive and I/O ports hidden under

Time is running out to save on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th. As you might expect, each re

This iPhone case adds USB-C port to Lightning models

Do you own an iPhone with a Lightning port but wish it was USB-C? A new iPhone case just arrived that could be the best solution. New case available for iPhone 14 line and older Apple switched the iPhone to USB-C a couple years ago with the iPhone 15 line. But many other devices, including Apple products like the Mac and iPad, went all-in on USB-C much sooner. In 2025, it’s become increasingly likely that your iPhone might be the only device that still depends on Lightning. While products li

This iPhone case switches Lightning ports to USB-C

The engineer who beat Apple by creating the first USB-C iPhone has now evolved his work into a phone case that switches the Lightning port on older iPhones to USB-C.

Maingear's Retro95 PC blends '90s workstation nostalgia with modern horsepower

Maingear's latest (appropriately named) Retro95 is a deceptive love letter to old-school "pizza box" PCs: Wolfenstein 3D and Sierra adventure games on the outside; Cyberpunk 2077 in ray-traced 4K on the inside. That's because you can fit this sucker with up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics. It supports Intel and AMD processors, up to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. You can also customize it with up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, 8TB of Gen4 NVMe storage, Noctua fans and an 850W PSU. It's a ray-traced wolf in

Losing language features: some stories about disjoint unions

You can give users syntactically unguarded access to union members, say by using container.field syntax, in which case all you can do if the tag doesn't match that field at runtime is to raise a runtime error, which you can at least do systematically, but the ergonomics are lousy: it's inefficient (you wind up checking twice) and it doesn't help the user avoid the runtime error by statically forcing cases to be handled. You can do #1 but then also fail to even raise a runtime error when the t

iPhone 17 Air’s rumored accessory could be exactly what new model needs

iPhone 17 Air is a brand new model expected to debut this fall, with Apple prioritizing form over function. The ultra-thin, futuristic design will come with some compromises, but one rumored new accessory could solve my biggest concern: battery life. Apple planning special battery case for iPhone 17 Air, per report Numerous hands-on videos and photos have emerged in the last few months of iPhone 17 Air dummy models. And reactions seem extremely positive. For example, Unbox Therapy said, “That

Experts lay into Tesla safety in federal autopilot trial

This week, a federal court in Miami started hearing a wrongful death case involving Tesla's crash-prone Autopilot driver assistance system. It's not the first time that Tesla Autopilot has been implicated in fatal traffic crashes, but it is the first time that a federal court has heard such a case. Until now, the most high-profile court case involving Tesla Autopilot was probably the California trial over the death of Walter Huang, who was killed in 2018 when his Tesla Model X steered itself in

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

Apple dodges iOS 13-era suit over background data usage (for now)

A years-old lawsuit accusing Apple of burning through users’ mobile data won’t be moving forward as a class action, but it might still be pursued individually. Here’s what happened. The case involves unauthorized cellular data usage, even when Wi-Fi was available The case, originally filed by user Alasdair Turner in 2020, claims that iOS 13 sent data over cellular networks even after users had specifically disabled mobile access for certain apps. That background activity was allegedly mislabe

Finding value from AI agents from day one

From assuming oversight for complex workflows, such as procurement or recruitment, to carrying out proactive cybersecurity checks or automating support, enterprises are abuzz at the potential use cases for agentic AI. According to one Capgemini survey, 50% of business executives are set to invest in and implement AI agents in their organizations in 2025, up from just 10% currently. Gartner has also forecast that 33% of enterprise software applications will incorporate agentic AI by 2028. For co

Meta shareholders look to haul CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg to court

Mark Zuckerberg is slated to make yet another high-stakes courtroom appearance this week as shareholders seek to hold him accountable for the more than $8 billion that Meta has spent to settle lawsuits over privacy violations. The trial, set to begin Wednesday in Delaware’s Court of Chancery, aims to hold Zuckerberg, former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg and other former executives personally liable for the billions the company spent to resolve allegations that it failed to safeguard user data.

It has been a TV miniseries and a two-part feature film, and a prequel series—It: Welcome to Derry—is coming to HBO later this year. But there’s no out-creeping the original 1986 Stephen King novel, released long before the phrase “un-Google-able title” came into existence. With over 1,100 pages, it’s one of King’s longest works, and to have even a paperback copy means you’ll need ample shelf space. But a new special release from the Folio Society is so fancy, it may need an entire shelf of its

Cursed Phone Case Imitates Human Skin

Who asked for this? Skin Deep If for some reason you wanted your smartphone experience to be as off-putting as possible, you should check out this phone case that imitates human skin to a supremely unnerving degree. Not only does it look and feel like an epidermus, but it gets sunburned like one too. Morbid as this sounds, the "Skincase" is actually intended to help you. The idea is that seeing the faux skin wilt from spending too much time outdoors will remind you to protect yourself against

Never mind the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I wish Samsung copied this foldable alternative

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just launched, and it’s one of the thinnest foldables yet, while offering a larger folding screen than previous models. As cool as Samsung’s latest Fold is, though, I’ve been spending time with an old alternative to foldable phones, and I’d love Samsung to copy this trick. Yep, I’m talking about LG’s Dual Screen Case. The LG Dual Screen Case was first launched in 2019 for the LG V50, and most subsequent LG flagship phones suppor

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s all well and good having a great Android phone, but an ecosystem of accessories can also make for a more enjoyable experience.

Crypto Billionaire Justin Sun Buys Another $100 Million of Trump’s Memecoin

Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, announced this week that he had purchased yet another $100 million of Donald Trump’s memecoin, $TRUMP. Sun already owns a substantial amount of the asset. The crypto mogul also announced that the coin would soon be tradable on his blockchain. All of this is complicated by the fact that Sun still appears to be bogged down in a civil fraud case brought against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2023, the SEC launched a lawsuit against

Man’s heart stopped after common bacterium caused ultra-rare infection

A 51-year-old man showed up at a hospital in Germany looking as though he was wasting away, with swelling and tenderness in his ankles and knees. Then, his heart stopped. Doctors were able to resuscitate him. Then, they got to work trying to figure out what was wrong. The man told them that for three months he had been suffering from diarrhea, weight loss, joint pain, and fever. His case was reported in this week's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Blood tests didn't detect any inf

Measles cases reach 33-year high as RFK Jr. pursues anti-vaccine agenda

Over the weekend, the tally of measles cases reached 1,281, setting a new case record since the highly contagious viral disease was declared eliminated from the country in 2000. The previous record was set in 2019, when there were 1,274 cases and officials warned that the US had narrowly avoided losing the elimination status. Overall, the current case tally is a 33-year high for the preventable infection, and the outlook for the country is bleak. Vaccination rates have only fallen since the pan
