Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Fitbit has updated its algorithm for more accurate sleep tracking. The new algorithm now accounts for awake times better, supposedly rendering more accurate data about different phases. However, users have complained of increased sensitivity, resulting in their devices capturing shorter sleep durations than the actual time. Fitbit isn’t nearly as popular as it once was, and that is partly because Google, which completed its acquisition of the company
I have a small car, and it has a dual-tank: gas and LPG, which is a great way to reduce my car-related budget, as LPG is way cheaper. Unfortunately, when the tank is starting to get depleted, the car will emit strident and loud beeps to notify me about it. And every single time time, it startles me like Hell, which isn't something I appreciate very much, especially when I'm steering a 1 ton metal box to overtake a trailer at 130km/h on the highway. To make things even double-plus-good, a full-sc
Editor's take: As Big Tech and industry leaders dig ever deeper into their war chests to recruit AI talent, a profound question is emerging: Can money alone win the battle for the minds building tomorrow's most powerful technologies? Recent events suggest that, for a growing number of engineers and researchers, the answer is increasingly, and resoundingly, no. While not in the majority, many engineers are choosing to pass up unprecedented offers in favor of staying loyal to their mission, value

My name is D. Sculley. I lead several teams at Google in Cambridge doing research in various aspects of machine learning. I'm involved in this course because many of our current projects involve the use of machine learning for design or fabrication problems of one form or another, including in the biology space and the chemistry space. I'm interested in learning more about other forms of fabrication and seeing if there are interesting cross-domain opportunities to think about. Here is my Google

Apple's next iPhone operating system is making several big changes to the iPhone experience. iOS 26 will give everything a more transparent, bubbly look in the Liquid Glass design -- and it also adds new live language translations to your calls and offers more protections against unwanted spam. But there are a number of changes that don't make splashy headlines. These include being able to set how many minutes you want to snooze, making an easy control center shortcut for reminders and having t

Also called interval walking training, a trend known as "Japanese walking" is having a moment. According to The Washington Post, though it's trending now, Japanese walking isn't new. It originated from a 2007 study in Japan that found that high-intensity interval walking may protect middle-aged and older people from dealing with increases in blood pressure and decreases in muscle strength and peak oxygen uptake. Recently, a July 2025 study also concluded that prefrail and frail older adults who

Footage taken by a passenger shows a Tesla Robotaxi getting totally stumped as it tries to escape a parking lot, aimlessly driving in circles while its human "safety monitor" sits bored in the front passenger seat, doing nothing to intervene. Ladies and gentlemen: the self-driving software that Elon Musk says will be piloting millions of cars by the end of next year. The video was uploaded by Dan Burkland, a self-described EV enthusiast. In a tweet, he explained that he "threw a curveball" at
Efforts to introduce pirate site blocking to the United States continue with the introduction of the "Block BEARD" bill in the Senate. The bipartisan proposal, backed by Senators Tillis, Coons, Blackburn, and Schiff, aims to create a new legal mechanism to combat foreign piracy websites. Block BEARD is similar to the previously introduced House bill "FADPA", but doesn't directly mention DNS resolvers. After a decade of focusing efforts overseas, the push for website blocking has landed back on
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) recently introduced legislation that he claims is designed to allow Americans to “benefit” from Trump’s tariff scheme. Now, he’s giving everyone good reason to believe that his ploy to send rebate checks at a time of rising inflation is just a political stunt. The administration’s tariffs are unprecedented in modern economic history and are currently generating revenue for the U.S. government by taxing U.S. businesses on their imports. Critics have noted that the a

Oil's versatility knows no bounds. Not only does it help cook our favorite proteins and vegetables but it can also be mixed into dressings and baked goods to enhance everything from crave-worthy fat content to superior moisture levels. Some varieties, such as olive and coconut oil, can even be applied directly to skin and hair for the benefits of long-lasting hydration. But many oils serve very specific purposes. While ever-popular olive oil may be the go-to for practically everything in your k

Phone numbers leak more info than you might expect. They tell, based on country and area code, where the caller’s located—or at least where their phone number was registered. The caller’s name is likely to pop up on caller ID, and their carrier may be discoverable with a quick lookup. One could infer that the caller is awake and available at the time of the call. And if the callee answers, one can also infer that they are available—that they heard the call, saw the info, and decided to still tak
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the bedrock of modern digital security. Its principle is simple and powerful. As Wikipedia defines it, MFA is: an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more distinct types of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism. The key phrase here is distinct types of evidence. These factors are typically categorized as something you know (a password), someth
I love grilling as much as the next backyard warrior, but standing over open flames in 90-degree heat feels less like cooking and more like slow-roasting myself. And firing up the oven indoors? That just turns your kitchen into a sauna and your living room into a convection zone. Not to mention, using a gas range with the windows shut is basically inviting bad air to dinner. That's where the air fryer swoops in. These compact countertop dynamos crank out crispy food fast, without turning your h

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung appears to be disabling bootloader unlocking in One UI 8 on more devices than before. Previously, only US models lacked the OEM Unlock toggle, but the restriction now seems to be spreading to global models as well. A contributor on XDA Developers discovered that Samsung is likely stripping out the necessary code to unlock bootloaders entirely. Samsung might be quietly locking down its phones even more tightly with the One UI 8 update. A new report

s.p.l.i.t is the most badass typing game I’ve ever played. It’s actually more of a hacking simulator, cyberpunk thriller and puzzle experience than a typing game, but its core loop is bookended by sequences of high-intensity letter pecking with gruesome consequences — think Mavis Beacon as designed by Ted Kaczynski — and the final scenes have a way of searing themselves into your psyche. Not to mention, the whole thing takes place on a keyboard, no mouse or gamepad. So I guess it’s technically o
