When that allergy season hits, it's normal to reach for your medication to try and get through your day. An FDA estimate says that 62.7 million over-the-counter packages of Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Xyzal (levocetirizine) were sold in 2022. We're now in an era where climate change is making for longer, more intense pollen seasons, which is partly responsible for allergies getting worse. The sales figures have likely climbed in the last three years, with worsened allergy symptoms like a runny nose,

Dozens of xAI employees expressed concerns—and many objected—when asked to record videos of their facial expressions to help "give Grok a face," Business Insider reported. BI reviewed internal documents and Slack messages, finding that the so-called project "Skippy" was designed to help Grok learn what a face is and "interpret human emotions." It's unclear from these documents if workers' facial data helped train controversial avatars that xAI released last week, including Ani—an anime compani

As word spread last year that 23andMe was about to go bankrupt, many of their millions of customers wondered if they should delete their data.

Onlookers have long suspected that Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) has a right-wing bias embedded in its digital DNA, and, in January of this year, cybercrime authorities in France took it upon themselves to uncover whether this was true or not.

Why the Galaxy Z Fold 8 might be the foldable we've all been waiting for

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an impressive book-style foldable that tackles many of the long-standing quibbles plaguing the Fold series for years. I spent a weekend with the device, and was floored by how much its reduced weight and thickness made it feel like a standard candy bar phone when folded. The cover screen is wider and more usable, the interior display is larger at eight inches, and the new 200MP camera sensor means imagery isn't a big sacrifice this time around.

These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades.

Kevin Feige Says Mephisto Was Never the Plan for ‘WandaVision’

By the time Mephisto, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, appeared at the end of Ironheart to strike a sinister deal with Riri Williams, it felt almost anticlimactic for Marvel fans. That’s because it was long anticipated that the character would appear on WandaVision, or perhaps, when that didn’t happen, its witchy spin-off Agatha All Along. There were certainly teases about it, but it wasn’t meant to be until Marvel’s most recent series—and that’s according to Kevin Feige himself. As reported by CBR
