AT&T Promo Code: Get Up to $200 in August

Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call. And have lost entire days

The ‘Shin Godzilla’ Black-and-White Version Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release

While we wait for news on what’s to come in the wake of Godzilla Minus One‘s massive success, this summer has seen the resurgence of Toho’s prior Godzilla reimagining in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla. It got a whole new wave of reappraisal as it stomped back into theaters last week with a brand new 4K remaster—and now, to celebrate its success, and much like Minus One did before it, the movie’s extending its theatrical return with a new black-and-white remastering.

Pixelsnap is Google's Qi2-powered answer to MagSafe for the Pixel 10 series

Google just revealed something called Pixelsnap at today's Made by Google event. This is the company's answer to Apple's MagSafe technology, so it's a magnetic attachment system that can integrate with Qi2 wireless chargers. All of the new Pixel 10 phones have been outfitted with the tech, which lets users "effortlessly snap wireless chargers, stands, grips and thousands of other accessories," including the just-announced official Pixelsnap charger. That Qi2 wireless charger reaches speeds up t

Google Just Gave Its Pixel Buds 2a Something Everyone Needs in Wireless Earbuds

Google’s annual ‘Made by Google’ Pixel hardware drop is here, and it’s not all about new phones. This year Google’s Pixel Buds A-series (the cheaper line of Pixel wireless earbuds) is getting an update with some features that should make them a lot more appealing to anyone looking to save a little bit of money on non-pro earbuds. The biggest addition in the Pixel Buds 2a is active noise cancellation (ANC), which is very much not a cutting-edge feature at this point, but maybe one of the most cr

This ‘Elio’ Deleted Scene Hints at an Alternate Version of the Movie

Pixar’s latest film, Elio, may not have been a box office success, but once it comes home, audiences are going to discover they missed something special. The story of a young boy who travels to space and is forced to save his planet by befriending a group of aliens is funny, exciting, and extremely heartfelt. Yes, it had a long trip to the finish line, but once it got there, it stuck the landing. Elio is coming to digital download on Tuesday, August 19, ahead of its physical release on Septembe

The AI-Powered PDF Marks the End of an Era

When it was first released by Adobe in 1993, the PDF was truly transformative technology. The Portable Document Format was a multipurpose container that replicated the appearance and functionality of physical documents. That sounds unimportant, but as adoption spread with Adobe’s introduction of free Acrobat software for reading PDFs a year later, anyone, from the government to your doctor’s office, could rely on digital documentation that felt familiar to the paper versions. “It wasn't like a

When Will You Get Your Hands on the iPhone 17? We're Tracking the Release Date

We could be a month away from new iPhone 17 models showing up in stores and in fleets of delivery trucks nationwide, but of course Apple is mum until the new phones are formally announced. But several rumors, plus the company's fairly consistent track record, point to when the iPhone 17 will be announced, when pre-orders will begin and when it will finally be ready for unboxing. Once the rumored iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max are revealed, we'll be able to confirm speculation about c

XenoRAT malware campaign hits multiple embassies in South Korea

A state-sponsored espionage campaign is targeting foreign embassies in South Korea to deploy XenoRAT malware from malicious GitHub repositories. According to Trellix researchers, the campaign has been running since March and is ongoing, having launched at least 19 spearphishing attacks against high-value targets. Although infrastructure and techniques match the pllaybook of North Korean actor Kimsuky (APT43), there are signs that better match China-based operatives, the researchers say. Multi

People Are Now Seeing ‘Zombie’ Squirrels in Their Backyards

As if black-horned rabbits weren’t strange enough, people are now spotting zombie-like squirrels covered in odd, sometimes bleeding sores in their backyards and parks. These sickly squirrels aren’t zombies, however, but victims of a real viral disease. Residents in both Canada and the U.S. have recently reported sightings of the zombie squirrels, dating back to at least 2023. These animals are likely carrying a germ known as the squirrel fibroma virus (SFV). Though the condition is scary-lookin

Texas law gives grid operator power to disconnect data centers during crisis

Dive Brief: Data centers and other large, non-critical power consumers connected to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas transmission grid must accept curtailment during firm load shed events under a landmark law Republican Gov.

Google’s next big Android release is coming with these AI tools and UWB features

Last year, Google announced it was accelerating Android’s release schedule. In the past, Google typically rolled out a single Android release each year with new APIs for developers. Starting in 2025, however, the company is moving to two such releases annually: one major and one minor. We’ve already received this year’s major release with the stable Android 16 update in June, and the upcoming Android 16 QPR2 update will be the first minor one. Here are some of the new features we think Google wi

The viral Toniebox is exactly what both kids and parents want from a smart device (and it's on sale)

Maria Diaz/ZDNET My kid had been asking for a Toniebox for two years, but I always talked her out of it. I'm no Grinch, but each set basic starter kit is $100. Then we finally got one during a Prime Day sales event. Testing a Toniebox has not only convinced me that it's perfect for my kids and worth every penny, but it's such a great device that I'd recommend it to any parent of young children. Here's why. Also: I ditched my Bluetooth speakers for this slick turntable - and it's more practical

ChatGPT's Boss Says You Still Shouldn't Trust It as Your Main Source of Information

When you start a conversation with ChatGPT, you might notice some text at the bottom of the screen: "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info." That's still the case with the new GPT-5 model, a senior OpenAI executive reiterated this week. "The thing, though, with reliability is that there's a strong discontinuity between very reliable and 100 percent reliable, in terms of the way that you conceive of the product," Nick Turley, head of ChatGPT at OpenAI, said on The Verge's Decoder podca

UFC 319: du Plessis vs. Chimaev — Everything to Know to Watch via Livestream

After a week that has seen the premier MMA promotion company ink a new multi-billion dollar TV deal, as well as firm up plans for an event at the White House, it's back to business in the Octagon this weekend, with UFC 319 offering up an intriguing middleweight title fight in Chicago.

HyperX’s claims its latest headset lasts 250 hours on a single charge

HyperX has announced its latest flagship wireless gaming headset, and once again , the brand’s primary mission statement seems to be chasing eternal life for headphone batteries. The Cloud Alpha 2 will last, according to its maker, for up to 250 hours on a full charge. While that number halves if you make use of the headsets’s simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, a more than 10-day battery life is impressive for any wireless headset. Its new multi-layer 53mm drivers are engineered to reduce dis

Great Myths #16: The Conflict Thesis

The “Conflict Thesis” forms a kind of underlying historial metamyth that informs and undergirds a substantial amount of historical assumptions by anti-theist polemicists. This is the assumed and unquestioned idea that Science and Religion have been perpetually at war down the ages. Also known as the Draper-White Thesis or Warfare Model, it is a conception of the history of science that presents religion as the perpetual and consistent enemy of science, technology and progress. It is a pervasive
