This HP 14″ Laptop Costs Less Than Your AirPods at Best Buy’s Black Friday in July, Competing With Prime Day

In my lifetime, smartphones have gradually become the dominant tool for going online. Today, most people rely primarily on their phones to check email, keep up with friends on social media, or browse the web for all sorts of needs. In fact, I know several people who have ditched traditional computers entirely, relying solely on their phones to get things done. Yet I argue there are certain tasks that are still more convenient on a laptop than they ever will be on a smartphone. Working on large d

Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,

A Flustered Pam Bondi Tries to Explain Why a Minute Was Missing From the Epstein Jail Video

Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked by reporters Tuesday about Jeffrey Epstein, causing President Donald Trump, who was sitting near her at the White House, to become indignant that anyone was still asking about the sex offender who was found dead in a jail cell in 2019. Bondi gave a very confusing response about both her past comments on Epstein and a one-minute gap in the video released by the U.S. Department of Justice. But only after Trump berated the reporter for even asking about Epstein

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

‘The Institute’ Is a Solid Stephen King Adaptation

Stephen King is easily the most-adapted horror author; his books are so popular, many of the biggest ones have been adapted multiple times. Right now, there’s both a Carrie series and a feature take on The Stand in the works, and Edgar Wright’s The Running Man just dropped its first trailer. With the same titles seemingly caught in Hollywood’s revolving door, it can be tempting to forget King is still regularly publishing new stories. That’s one reason The Institute is such an intriguing new ar

Meet the America Party, Elon Musk’s Harebrained Third-Party Scheme

Elon Musk soft-launched a third party over the weekend, and so far, the billionaire seems to be manifesting his “America Party” into existence. Hard-launching the party, which he first posted about through a poll on X, would involve filing official paperwork, such as Federal Election Commission forms, and signing up to petition in individual states. Musk has not done those things yet. What Musk has done, however, is open the door for what could be the most well-funded attempt ever at launching

ByteDance reportedly plans to release US-specific version of CapCut

In Brief TikTok owner ByteDance is planning to move U.S. users to a new version of CapCut, its video editing app, according to a report from Business Insider. Launching a U.S.-specific app could be part of the company’s broader plan to comply with a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest from TikTok and its other U.S. assets, or risk being forced to cease operations in the country. ByteDance is also reportedly developing a new version of TikTok for U.S. users ahead of an expected sale of the

Cybersecurity’s Unsung Heroes: Elevating Neurodiverse Talent in the Digital Age

They aren’t your average hires. They don’t glide through job interviews or thrive in open-plan offices. But when it comes to pattern recognition, threat modeling, or zero-day hunting, neurodiverse individuals often outperform their peers. And yet, they remain largely untapped in the cybersecurity workforce. If we’re serious about fortifying digital defense systems, it’s time we stop overlooking the neurodiverse minds that already think in ways most cybersecurity frameworks are only beginning to

Running a Certificate Transparency log

Melting Glaciers Could Unleash a Barrage of Volcanic Eruptions Worldwide, Scientists Warn

As if we needed another reason to worry about the climate crisis, researchers have found that melting glaciers could trigger a surge of intense volcanic eruptions in the future. Across the globe, hundreds of subglacial volcanoes—formed by eruptions beneath glaciers—lie dormant under thick layers of ice. A new study, presented at the Goldschmidt Conference in Prague, suggests that these volcanoes could awaken as climate change accelerates glacier retreat, potentially leading to an increase in vo
