A Sitting President Is Making Billions Off Crypto, Which Feels Like a Bit of an Outrage

Before his first presidential bid, TV personality and real estate tycoon Donald Trump was doing just fine, financially speaking. The benefactor of a $5.5 million trust fund, adjusted for inflation — not to mention a $20 million inheritance from his father, split with his siblings — Trump's actual net worth has always been a hazy target for estimates. As he left office in 2021, Trump's net worth seemed to be around $2.3 billion, according to Forbes, thanks to legal fallout and a real estate port

Amazon Startup Announces Plans to "Finish" Orson Welles' Lost Film With 43 Minutes of AI-Generated Footage

Recently, a minor miracle was achieved in the world of film preservation. A long-lost version of "A Better Tomorrow II" (1987), John Woo's sequel to his heroic bloodshed classic "A Better Tomorrow" (1986), was discovered and is now slated to be released to the public. For nearly 40 years, Woo's preferred cut of the Hong Kong action movie had been considered destroyed. When it was being made, the studio demanded that Woo's workprint, which ran nearly three hours, be pared down to less than two,

AI-powered malware hit 2,180 GitHub accounts in “s1ngularity” attack

Investigations into the Nx "s1ngularity" NPM supply chain attack have unveiled a massive fallout, with thousands of account tokens and repository secrets leaked. According to a post-incident evaluation by Wiz researchers, the Nx compromise has resulted in the exposure of 2,180 accounts and 7,200 repositories across three distinct phases. Wiz also stressed that the incident's scope of impact remains significant, as many of the leaked secrets remain valid, and so the effect is still unfolding.

GOP Cries Censorship Over Spam Filters That Work

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week sent a letter to Google’s CEO demanding to know why Gmail was blocking messages from Republican senders while allegedly failing to block similar missives supporting Democrats. The letter followed media reports accusing Gmail of disproportionately flagging messages from the GOP fundraising platform WinRed and sending them to the spam folder. But according to experts who track daily spam volumes worldwide, WinRed’s messages are getting b

Microsoft Azure: "Multiple international subsea cables were cut in the Red Sea"

Increased network latency on traffic routes through the Middle East Starting at 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea. Network traffic is not interrupted as Microsoft has rerouted traffic through alternate network paths. We do expect higher latency on some traffic that previously traversed through the Middle East. Network traffic that does not traverse through the Middle East

Please, ‘Highlander’ Reboot, Don’t Waste Djimon Hounsou

The upcoming Highlander movie continues to build out its cast: after recently nabbing Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista of Guardians of the Galaxy fame, we’ve got another Marvel alum in Djimon Hounsou. Per the Hollywood Reporter, Hounsou will play an immortal African warrior and presumably cross paths with either Henry Cavill’s Connor MacLeod or Bautista’s villainous Kurgen. We really don’t know much about this movie, save for director Chad Stahelski’s aim to expand upon the mythology from the pre

‘Witch Hat Atelier’ Anime Gets Delayed Into 2026

Bad news for anyone looking forward to watching the anime adaptation of Witch Hat Atelier: it’s leaving 2026 and coming sometime next year. Animation studio Bug Films announced the delay on Twitter, explaining it needed more time to “deliver the charm of the work with even higher quality. All staff are working hard on the production, and we sincerely apologize for this disappointing news to everyone who has been looking forward to the broadcast.” Before now, Bug was pretty quiet about it since

A New Graphic Novel Will Chronicle How ‘Star Wars’ Got Made

For anyone who wants to read about the history of the original Star Wars, a new graphic novel is coming. That would be Lucas Wars, the newly translated version of a story originally published in 2023 by French journalist Laurent Hopman and illustrator Renaud Roche. The graphic novel tells of George Lucas’ decade-long journey to get the classic sci-fi film made, starting from him surviving a car accident to his journey through film school and clashes with 20th Century Fox. In an email to the Hol

Withings Updates ScanWatch 2 With 35-Day Battery Life the Apple Watch Could Only Dream Of

Withings, which is best known for its smart scales and similar devices, also makes a smartwatch series, the latest of which is the ScanWatch 2. At IFA 2025, the company announced a new blue and silver version of the 42mm model. It also unveiled HealthSense 4, an AI-laden software update that leverages the tech to handle a set of new health- and sleep-tracking features. I grabbed a picture of the ScanWatch 2 while I was there, and now I get the appeal of this watch. If you’re not familiar, the S

The Robot Vacuum’s Next Humble Trick: Climbing Stairs

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of. That’s courtesy of a little baby trend at IFA 2025 of robot vacuums slipping into something more climbable—a little caddy that carries them upstairs when it’s time to move floors, then waits to carry them back down when they’re done. The first one we encountered was the Eufy MarsWalker. Then, it turned out that Dreame had one, too, using almost the exact same approach, only it’s weirdly much scarier-looking. Both have a s

Why is an Amazon-backed AI startup making Orson Welles fan fiction?

On Friday, a startup called Fable announced an ambitious, if head-scratching, plan to recreate the lost 43 minutes of Orson Welles’ classic film “The Magnificent Ambersons.” Why is a startup that bills itself as the “Netflix of AI,” and that recently raised money from Amazon’s Alexa Fund, talking about remaking a movie that was first released in 1942? Well, the company has built a platform that allows users to create their own cartoons with AI prompts — Fable is starting out with its own intel

Scientists Intrigued by Non-Human Skull Embedded in Cave Wall

Scientists believe they're close to solving an ancient mystery involving a strange hominin skull, neither Neanderthal nor human, that was found fused to a cave wall — with a stalagmite sticking out of the top, to complete the eerie scene — in Macedonia, Greece. In a new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution, researchers from France's Institut de Paléontologie Humaine (or Human Paleontology Institute in English) claim they've been able to place an age on the "Petralona cranium," whic

Will Apple Launch AirPods Pro 3 This Year? Here's What We're Expecting

It's looking like we won't see a new version of the AirPods Max this year, but predictions still dictate that there could indeed be AirPods Pro 3 at Apple's iPhone 17 launch event on Tuesday. Apple last updated its flagship AirPods Pro buds in 2022 and released two all-new versions of Apple's open earbuds -- the AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Canceling -- at last year's iPhone 16 event. While there's no guarantee we'll get the AirPods Pro 3 this year, Apple has announced a new model

The Apple Watch Series 11 Could Share the Stage at Next Week's Event

All eyes are on Apple's September 9 "Awe Dropping" event, where a fresh batch of Apple Watches is expected to take center stage alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. While the Series 11 will almost certainly headline, Apple may have already tipped its hand on the next Ultra. Imagery found in the iOS 26 public beta (first spotted by MacRumors ) shows display specs that don't match any current model, and the two-year update cycle only strengthens the case that the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 is on th

It's a fantastic achievement and a must watch.

The growing debate over expanding age verification laws

Technologists and policymakers are reckoning with a generation-defining problem on the internet: while it can be a revolutionary force for unprecedented education and connection across the globe, it can also pose dangers to children when they have completely unfettered access. There is no simple way, however, to monitor children’s internet access without surveilling adults, paving the way for disastrous online privacy violations. While some advocates praise these laws as victories for children
