Personal Safety is the latest Google app with a messed-up clock

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Personal Safety is rolling out an update that implements a new color scheme. While the app still doesn’t use your system palette, it does improve readability. Google has managed to mess up clock rendering, though, with the time fitting poorly on the screen. Developers like Google are constantly trying out new looks for their apps, and not everyone’s going to be a fan of every change. But even if we prefer one layout over another, or thought an old work

Behold: Horror Icons Are Getting the Baby Yoda Treatment

It seems these days most major franchises want to cash in on that Star Wars Baby Yoda money by making their own adorable version of something within any given fandom. We saw it last year with the debut of Baby Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and now this year we have Spirit Halloween‘s Horror Babies. The cuteness aggression is too real with Terrifier star Art the Clown—plus Chucky, Ghostface, lil’ Michael Myers, Leatherface, Pennywise, and others, all featured as infants in the Spirit H

ChatGPT can now create flashcards quiz on any topic

If you use ChatGPT to learn new topics, you might want to try its new flashcard-based quiz feature, which can help you evaluate your progress. I used a simple prompt: "Turn financial econometrics into a clean GPT flashcard quiz." In this case, I'm trying to learn Financial Econometrics, which is all about applying statistical methods to financial market data. Econometrics is a complex topic, and I want GPT-5 to come up with better questions, which is why I've selected GPT-5-Thinking, but you c

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21. The circuit (the series of quantum logic gates) that was run to factor 15 can be seen in Figure 1b of “Experimental real

Red: A programming language inspired by REBOL

Red Programming Language Red is a programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting, while providing modern support for concurrency and multi-core CPUs. Red tackles the software building complexity using a DSL-oriented approach (we call them dialects) . The following dialects are built-in: Red/System: a C-level system programming language compiled to native code Parse: a power

Scammers Will Try to Trick You Into Filling Out Google Forms. Don’t Fall for It

One of the lesser-known apps in the Google Drive online suite is Google Forms. It's an easy, intuitive way to create a web form for other people to enter information into. You can use it for employee surveys, for organizing social gatherings, for giving people a way to contact you, and much more. But Google Forms can also be used for malicious purposes. These forms can be created in minutes, with clean and clear formatting, official-looking images and video, and—most importantly of all—a genuin

xAI sues an ex-employee for allegedly stealing trade secrets about Grok

xAI doesn't want its secret recipe for Grok to get out, and it's filing a lawsuit to make sure of that. In a lawsuit filed earlier this week, xAI claimed that former employee Xuechen Li stole the company's confidential info and trade secrets before joining the team at OpenAI. Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company also alleged that Li copied documents from an xAI company laptop to at least one of his personal devices. According to the suit, Li stole "cutting-edge AI technologies with featu

Bi-directional accountability: A leadership shift most organizations avoid

Most organizations enforce one-way accountability. The CBC framework flips that, making commitments mutual, visible, and enforceable. In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi

The First ‘Knights of Guinevere’ Trailer Invites You to a Creepy Trip

Back in January, animation studio Glitch revealed Knights of Guinevere, its upcoming web series from Owl House alums Dana Terrace, Zach Marcus, and John Bailey Owen.

On Friday, Glitch released Guinevere’s first full trailer, which shows a beautiful fantasy theme park that’s not q

FBI Director’s Girlfriend Sues Podcaster Over Claim She’s a Spy for Israel

Alexis Wilkins, the country singer and girlfriend of FBI director Kash Patel, filed a lawsuit this week against conservative podcaster Kyle Seraphin over his claims that Wilkins worked for Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad. Social media users have claimed Wilkins was acting as a so-called “honeypot” to get information from Patel and it’s become a popular meme on X in recent weeks, but Wilkins has now filed suit against Seraphin, a former FBI agent. Wilkins first denied she was a spy working f

iOS 26 Beta: Here's How to Adjust Your iPhone's New Liquid Glass Design

Apple released the fifth public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 25, and the beta brings a new Liquid Glass design to the iPhones of developers and beta testers, alongside other updates like call screening. But if you're not a fan of the Liquid Glass design, I found a way to reduce its effects so background images aren't bleeding through menus and making things hard to read. When Apple released the developer beta of iOS 26, people were torn about the design. Some were excited about it, while others -- my
