This has not been a good year for Prime Day gaming laptop deals. We've been collecting the best Prime Day deals all week (and liveblogging the whole event) There's a lot of outdated, previous-gen laptops flooding the virtual Amazon store shelves, most of which are not discounted enough to be worth buying with the new RTX 50-series graphics having just come out. There's one diamond in the rough though—and it's a laptop I tested out recently, the Asus ROG Strix G16. It's one of the best gaming la

Earlier this month, Adrian Holovaty, founder of music-teaching platform Soundslice, solved a mystery that had been plaguing him for weeks. Weird images of what were clearly ChatGPT sessions kept being uploaded to the site. Once he solved it, he realized that ChatGPT had become one of his company’s greatest hype men – but it was also lying to people about what his app could do.

Amazon Is Practically Giving Away Ultra-Slim Portable Monitor to Clear Out Best-Seller Shelves This Prime Day

Working remotely doesn’t require you to stay confined to your home. You can actually work from anywhere you wish so long as it has an internet connection. Personally, I tend not to venture out often. I just don’t feel as efficient outside my usual home setup. I’ve created a solid workspace at my desk, complete with three large monitors that spread out my work as much as I would like to. When limited to just my laptop screen, I feel so restricted. At least, that used to be the case before I got m

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension. On the one hand, compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powe

Federal ‘click to cancel subscriptions’ rule struck down in court [U]

A “click to cancel” law was last month passed in California, and now the FTC has ratified a federal rule designed to achieve the same goal. The idea of both is to force companies to make it as easy to cancel an online or app subscription as it is to sign up in the first place.

MicroStockHub/Getty Images With just a few months remaining until the Windows 10 end-of-support date, Microsoft seems to have belatedly realized that owners of tens of millions of consumer PCs running Windows 10 aren't ready to replace their old computers, and they're also not about to fork over $30 for a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription.

Unlike traditional, overlay-based tapjacking, TapTrap attacks work even with zero-permission apps to launch a harmless transparent activity on top of a malicious one, a behavior that remains unmitigated in Android 15 and 16.
