engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-31 13:00:56

As Meta's platforms fill up with more AI-generated content, the company still has a lot of work to do when it comes to enforcing its policies around manipulated media. The Oversight Board is once again criticizing the social media company over its handling of such posts, writing in its latest decision that its inability to enforce its rules consistently is "incoherent and unjustifiable." If that sounds familiar, it's because this is the second time since last year the Oversight Board has used t

According to Radišič, if at some point we want to grow life on Mars, this makes it an ideal candidate. “Sooner or later, we will have lunar bases, and cannabis, with its versatility, is the ideal plant to supply those projects,” he tells WIRED. “It can be a source of food, p

In a joint advisory out late Friday, the feds said at least one unnamed Canadian telco was hacked in mid-February this year, in which hackers manipulated three Cisco-made routers to allow stealthy traffic collection from its network.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and the FBI confirm that the Chinese state-sponsored 'Salt Typhoon' hacking group is also targeting Canadian telecommunication firms, breaching a telecom provider in February.

The Trump Organization drew headlines last week when it announced the launch of Trump Mobile, a cell service with plans to release a gold T1 phone in September. One of its selling points, according to the website, is that the T1 phone is "Proudly made in America," though that does not appear it will be the case when the phone launches, among other issues.

Tesla Might Have a Fix for the Elon Musk Problem

Tesla is having a nightmarish year, and much of the damage can be traced directly to its CEO, Elon Musk. After spending nearly $290 million to help Donald Trump return to the White House, Musk took on a tailor-made role in the administration, heading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Week four of Playdate Season Two brings us not one game that got my blood boiling, but two. CatchaDiablos is a roguelike with a unique movement mechanic that is both pretty cool and absolutely infuriating: running in circles with the crank.
