First announced in 2020 during the PS5 reveal stream, Pragmata is set on a lunar base, where an industrial mishap turns security droids hostile, while lines of communication back to Earth have been severed. The USP here is how you fight your threats: by teaming up with a small synthet

Prime Video reportedly shows almost twice as many ads as it used to

If it feels like you spend a lot more time watching ads in Prime Video than you used to, that may not be a mistake. Amazon has increased the number of ads or "ad load" in Prime Video to four-to-six minutes of ads per hour, Adweek reports. Amazon's plan to increase the amount of advertising in its streaming service was previously reported in October 2024. Shifting to a max of six minutes of ads per hour is nearly double the up to three-and-a-half minutes of ads that could play when Amazon first

You can produce video ads in seconds with Amazon's new AI tool - here's how

Michael Vi/Getty The process of creating advertisements is becoming a whole lot quicker with the help of generative AI. On Tuesday, Amazon Ads announced that its new Video Generation platform -- initially launched in beta in September -- is now generally available for all US customers.

Here's how I finally cracked a tricky Linux problem with this AI terminal app

Warp is scary good at fixing problems. Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNET I've been using Linux for a very, very long time, and it's rare that I encounter an issue I cannot resolve. However, a few weeks ago, such a problem occurred. The issue was caused by an installed application upgrade that required a dependency that the apt package manager couldn't solve. This meant I couldn't update or upgrade the system, and that, my friends, is a big problem. I tried to resolve the issue. I even attempted

Switch 2 Battery Percentage Acting Weird? Try This Hidden Fix

It's been almost a week since the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, which broke records for a console release by selling more than 3.5 million units in its first four days. However, there is a bit of an issue with the system's battery indicator, which may cause owners some frustration. Switch 2 owners noticed that, even though the system's battery said it was at 0%, the console was still playable for hours. Nintendo has since confirmed that this is an issue, although it appears to be a problem w

Yes, an iPhone Could Cost More Than $2,200 With Tariffs. Should You Buy One Now?

Tariffs could soon raise the price of iPhone. James Martin/CNET President Donald Trump announced he has made a deal with China, which could potentially affect the cost of a new iPhone -- but maybe not as much as you think. "WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, noting that he and China's president, Xi Jinping, still need to give their final approval for the deal. However, 55% "total" tariff incorporates 30% the countries agreed to

Trade war truce between US and China is back on

Donald Trump has said the US and China’s deal to restore their trade war truce is “done” after two days of marathon negotiations in London. In a post on his Truth Social network on Wednesday the US president hailed a breakthrough reached in bilateral talks in London late the night before. The deal revived a trade truce agreed in Geneva last month that subsequently faltered because of differences over Chinese rare earth exports and US export controls. “OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO F

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that o3-pro, a new version of its most capable simulated reasoning model, is now available to ChatGPT Pro and Team users, replacing o1-pro in the model picker. The company also reduced API pricing for o3-pro by 87 percent compared to o1-pro while cutting o3 prices by 80 percent. While "reasoning" is useful for some analytical tasks, new studies have posed fundamental questions about what the word actually means when applied to these AI systems. We'll take a deeper l

‘Uber for Getting Off Antidepressants’ Launches in the US

Ariella Sharf was first prescribed antidepressants when she was a college student more than a decade ago. When she decided to stop taking them last year, Sharf says she wasn’t sure how to do it safely. She was disappointed when her longtime psychiatrist didn’t help her find a new doctor after she moved across the country, and she thought her primary care physician wasn’t equipped for the task. Sharf decided instead to try Outro Health, a telehealth startup that CEO and cofounder Brandon Goode de

Apple Intelligence Is Gambling on Privacy as a Killer Feature

As Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote concluded on Monday, market watchers couldn't help but notice that the company's stock price was down, perhaps a reaction to Apple's relatively low-key approach to incorporating AI compared to most of its competitors. Still, Apple Intelligence–based features and upgrades were plentiful, and while some are powered using the company's privacy- and security-focused cloud platform known as Private Cloud Compute, many run locally on Apple Intelligenc

My Virtual Avatar No Longer Looks Terrible in the Apple Vision Pro

Remember Apple’s Vision Pro? That's the $3,499 mixed reality headset the company launched early in 2024 that failed to garner much public interest. Apple has steamed ahead with updates for the platform over the past year, and soon there will be a new version upgrade: visionOS 26. (Apple announced at WWDC it was changing the way it named its operating systems to match the following year.) I got a chance to try out a few of the new capabilities, but two stuck out to me more than the others. First

AirPods Pro 3 could be on the way

In Brief Apple didn’t unveil new hardware during Monday’s WWDC 2025, but we could still be getting updated AirPods soon. According to Steve Moser of MacRumors, the code for the developer’s beta of iOS 26 mentions the AirPods Pro 3 alongside mentions of AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro 2. This suggests that the AirPods Pro 3 could be coming soon, which would make sense, because the AirPods Pro 2 have been out for almost 3 years. Apple has also included phrasing like “AirPods Pro 2 or later” in some
