Switching to LED lightbulbs saved me hundreds of dollars - but there are 5 other reasons to do it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-06-10 16:21:00

Vladimir Sukhachev/Getty Images As a kid, I was inspired by the decorative lighting in my grandparents' finished basement. They had festooned the place with multicolored C9 string lights (aka old-school Christmas lights) from wall to wall, beneath the built-in wet bar, around hanging mirrors, and anywhere else they could add an ambient accent for the parties they hosted down there year-round. Since then, I've festooned every home I've lived in with decorative lighting, whether in a sequestered

A cryptocurrency scam that turned a small town against itself

news.ycombinator.com David Yaffe-Bellany 2025-06-10 12:09:22

Online scams are as old as the internet, but the rise of crypto has given con artists a valuable new tool — digital coins that can be transferred instantly, without oversight from banks legally obligated to monitor transactions for malfeasance. In 2023, crypto fraud cost American investors an estimated $4.8 billion, according to the F.B.I. The scams are so common that law-enforcement authorities have taken to calling them by a pithy name: Pig butchering, a rough translation of an expression wide

You can’t build a moat with AI (redux)

news.ycombinator.com Vikram Sreekanti 2025-06-10 14:49:24

Last spring, we wrote an article called You can’t build a moat with AI. That post argued that prompt engineering, while important, would be difficult to defend over time given how easy it is to experiment with LLMs. As a result, you have to focus on the quality of data your application has access to and your use of that data to differentiate yourself. Everything we said in that post has held true, but the release of models like DeepSeek R1 and o3-mini have brought the concerns about AI applicat

Canon's New Camera Is in a Category Once Thought Practically Dead

cnet.com Geoffrey Morrison 2025-06-10 14:59:00

A new point-and-shoot camera? In 2025? That might seem surprising if you aren't up on the latest trends. The reality is the prices of used and older compact cameras have gone through the roof. There's a real interest, especially among younger people, for capable cameras separate from their phones. Canon follows recent announcements by Nikon, Panasonic and others with its new camera in a category once thought dead.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: An RTX 4080 for $749, at least in theory

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-10 16:57:45

Nvidia's RTX 50-series makes its first foray below the $1,000 mark starting this week, with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti—at least in theory. The third-fastest card in the Blackwell GPU lineup, the 5070 Ti is still far from "reasonably priced" by historical standards (the 3070 Ti was $599 at launch). But it's also $50 cheaper and a fair bit faster than the outgoing 4070 Ti Super and the older 4070 Ti. These are steps in the right direction, if small ones. We'll talk more about its performance shortly,

The 3 Best Essential Oil Diffusers (and One to Avoid)

Great cameras, not Apple Intelligence, is what people want from an iPhone 16e

After much anticipation, Apple finally announced the iPhone 16e yesterday. Looking at its position in the company's lineup, the 16e is a headscratcher. My colleague Ian Carlos Campbell already wrote about how strange it is that the phone is missing MagSafe, a feature universally loved by Apple users. However, the omission that stands out the most to me is that the iPhone 16e doesn't come with more than a single rear camera, and no, 2x telephoto cropping doesn't count. Sure, if you put the 16e a

I tested Oppo's Find N5 for a week - here's why it's a near-perfect foldable phone

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Nvidia’s Big Plan to Beat Back RTX 5090 Scalpers Is the Same as Everybody Else’s
