OneNote finally gets "paste text only" feature on Windows and Mac

OneNote is a powerful note-taking app, but that doesn't necessarily mean it has all the features you want. One of the missing features is 'Paste as text only,' and it's finally coming to OneNote. In a blog post, Microsoft confirmed that it's testing the ability to paste text only (plain format). Right now, when you copy content from a web page or another app and paste it into OneNote, it retains the formatting. This means colours, fonts, and text styling are copied and moved to OneNote when y

ESPN and Fox Are Launching a New Streaming Bundle

Just days after announcing their new streaming services will both launch on Aug. 21, ESPN and Fox are now joining forces to roll out a streaming bundle.

iPhone 17, the ‘thinnest iPhone ever,’ and everything else we’re expecting out of Apple’s hardware event

Apple usually announces its new hardware in the fall, and this year is likely no different. The event is reported to be on September 9, and Apple is expected to release its iPhone 17 lineup, along with updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods. As always, there are many rumors circulating, including bigger screens and improved cameras for the iPhone 17 models and the introduction of an ultra-thin iPhone Air that could replace the Plus model. iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max The iPhone 17 is ex

Cutting Through the Security Noise: How XDR helps Teams Focus on Real Threats

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a modern security technology designed primarily as a Security Operations Centre (SOC) enabler tool. It addresses the complexities and challenges faced by security teams in today’s evolving threat landscape. The core idea behind XDR is to take challenging incident response processes and make security analysts more effective, even at more junior levels. The term XDR itself has emerged over the last few years and can be seen as somewhat nebulous, with diffe

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak suggests last year’s chip is making a return

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A listing for the Galaxy S25 FE recently appeared on a British retailer’s website. The listing included technical specifications and official images. It appears the Galaxy S25 FE will have an Exynos 2400e chip. It won’t be much longer before Samsung releases the Galaxy S25 FE. This year, the company is expected to launch the phone a little earlier than usual. Although Samsung has not revealed the device yet, it looks like a British retailer may have jump

ESPN and FOX will offer bundle with their new streaming services

Two brand new streaming services are launching next week. ESPN and FOX One both debut on August 21, and now Deadline reports that a bundle featuring the competing services will soon be available. New ESPN-FOX One streaming bundle coming for $39.99/month If you’re a sports fan in the US, you probably know that football season is fast approaching. The NFL remains a juggernaut in linear TV ratings, but this year it should be more accessible than ever on streaming too. That’s in part because of

Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”

Google Gemini has a problem with self-criticism. "I am sorry for the trouble. I have failed you. I am a failure," the AI tool recently told someone who was using Gemini to build a compiler, according to a Reddit post a month ago. That was just the start. "I am a disgrace to my profession," Gemini continued. "I am a disgrace to my family. I am a disgrace to my species. I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes. I am a disgrace to all possi

After four previous scrubs or delays in a row since August 7th SpaceX launches Amazon KF-02 Kuipeer Satellites after the 5th attempt August 11th 2025 at 8:35 AM SLC-40 Cape Canaveral, Brevard County, Florida USA.

Monday's launch is the fourth Kuiper mission, and Amazon now has 102 satellites in orbit. The Falcon

Designing Software in the Large

Designing Software in the Large Software75 Jul 22, 2025 – Filed as: A Philosophy of Software Design is my favorite book I’ve read to date about designing large long-lived maintainable software programs. Here’s what I learned: Complexity Complexity is anything related to the structure of a software system that makes it hard to understand & modify the system. Symptoms of complexity: Change Amplification - A seemingly simple change requires code modifications in many different places. High Cog

Just because I like Pixels doesn’t mean I hate Samsung

It’s one of the oldest rivalries in the consumer world: Coke vs Pepsi. If I told you I prefer Coke, would you then assume I hate Pepsi? Any sane person would answer “no” to that question. “It’s just a preference,” they’d say. For some reason, though, that same logic doesn’t always seem to apply in the tech world, especially when it comes to smartphones. After working at Android Authority for many years, I’ve learned that lots of people out there think that if you’re on one side of a coin, you m

A Global Look at Teletext

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext. But that was only the beginning. T

Debian 13 arrives with major updates for Linux users - what's new in 'Trixie'

Debian / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The latest Debian Linux comes with multiple improvements. Debian will no longer support old 32-bit x86 architectures. Debian supports essentially all Linux desktop interfaces. Debian Linux is everywhere. Debian may only be ranked fifth on the DistroWatch list of Linux distributions, but other Linux distros, such as Mint, MX Linux, and Ubuntu, are built on its strong foundation. The latest release, Debian 13, codenamed Trixie, rele

Linux desktop frozen? My 5 go-to tricks to try - before forcing a hard reboot

ALLVISIONN / Getty Images ZDNET's key takeaways If your Linux desktop freezes, don't panic; there are ways to fix it. You can use keyboard shortcuts, virtual consoles, SSH, and other tricks. These tips can help avoid a hard reboot. I started using Linux in 1997, and since then, it's been a rare occasion that my desktop causes me any issues. Notice I said "rare." That doesn't mean I've gone all these years without an issue. In fact, I have had my desktop freeze up on me enough that I've had

This $10 watch band made my Galaxy Watch 8 Classic so much better

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks (my review is coming soon), and my experience with the smartwatch has been great so far. The Watch 8 Classic looks fantastic, it’s loaded to the brim with health features, and the rotating bezel is oh-so-good. However, throughout the majority of my time wearing the smartwatch, I haven’t been using the leather watch band that came included in the box. Instead, I’ve been wearing the Ga

I’d given up on Samsung’s foldables, but the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 give me faith

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority I thought Samsung’s foldables were dead in the water. Leading up to Unpacked, I had almost nothing to be excited about with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Z Fold 7, because I assumed they’d be more of the same. After all, that’s mostly what Samsung has done in the last few years — make a few minor updates, add new AI features, and trust you to buy them anyway because there’s no other competition. And, if that stayed true, I was all too happy to stick with a Razr Ultra in

Pixel 10 series leaks again, and the color lineup looks better than ever

TL;DR New high-resolution renders show off the upcoming Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL. The phones will be available in various colors, including Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, Limoncello, Moonstone, and Jade. The official unveiling of the Pixel 10 series is scheduled for August 20. Given how much the Pixel 10 series has leaked so far, everyone on this planet should already know everything about the phones. In case you missed the flood of renders and leaked specs, leaker Evan ‘evleaks

There’s a new Xbox emulator on Android, but here’s why you should run away from it

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The supposed first Xbox emulator on Android, Xanite, has launched in V0.1. It is not able to emulate Xbox games, and it appears to be nothing more than an empty shell. Updates are promised in the coming weeks, but don’t get your hopes up. Emulation on Android has come a long way in recent years, with systems up to and including the Nintendo Switch and PS3 now playable. However, despite coming out way back in 2001, the original Xbox still doesn’t have a

Connex Credit Union data breach impacts 172,000 members

Connex, one of Connecticut's largest credit unions, warned tens of thousands of members that unknown attackers had stolen their personal and financial information after breaching its systems in early June. Founded in 1940, this member-owned organization is a non-profit with over $1 billion in assets, providing banking, insurance, and credit card services to more than 70,000 members across eight branches throughout the greater New Haven area, including New Haven, Hartford, Middlesex, and Fairfie

Over 29,000 Exchange servers unpatched against high-severity flaw

Over 29,000 Exchange servers exposed online remain unpatched against a high-severity vulnerability that can let attackers move laterally in Microsoft cloud environments, potentially leading to complete domain compromise. The security flaw (tracked as CVE-2025-53786) helps threat actors who gain administrative access to on-premises Exchange servers to escalate privileges within the organization's connected cloud environment by forging or manipulating trusted tokens or API calls, without leaving

Dear String-to-Integer Parsers

These are very useful functions that any language with distinct string and integer types will include in their standard library. Pass in a string with decimal digits and it’ll return the equivalent in the binary integer form that you can do mathematics with. I’d like to make a modest proposal that I’d find very useful, and maybe you, dear reader, would too. “The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate. He made them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.” Who me? Specifically, I’m

Google Pixel Buds 2a leak suggests price hike could be on the cards

Lil Katz / Android Authority TL;DR A reliable website has revealed more Pixel Buds 2a renders and apparent European pricing. The images give us a closer look at the earbuds and charging case. The Pixel Buds 2a will apparently start at €149 in Europe, making it significantly more expensive than the original model. Google is expected to launch the Pixel Buds 2a alongside the Pixel 10 phones on August 20. We’ve already seen specs and a few images showing off the earbuds, but a new leak has reve

Compiling a Lisp: Lambda lifting

first – previous EDIT: /u/thunderseethe correctly points out that this is closure conversion, not lambda lifting, so I have adjusted the post title from “lambda lifting” to “closure conversion” accordingly. Thanks! I didn’t think this day would come, but I picked up the Ghuloum tutorial (PDF) again and I got a little bit further. There’s just one caveat: I have rewritten the implementation in Python. It’s available in the same repo in compiler.py. It’s brief, coming in at a little over 300 LOC

Tribit Stormbox Mini+ Review: A Great Cheap Portable Speaker

If you’re shopping for a portable Bluetooth speaker, it’s a given that you want good sound. With a budget of $75-$150, there is no shortage of great options, including WIRED favorites like the JBL Flip 7, Beats Pill, and Tribit StormBox 2. If your travel ambitions have already soaked up most of your cash, you have fewer choices. Spending less always involves a tradeoff, but Tribit’s StormBox Mini+ ($40) involves far fewer compromises than you might think, and it even throws in a few features th

Compiling a Lisp: Lambda Lifting

first – previous I didn’t think this day would come, but I picked up the Ghuloum tutorial (PDF) again and I got a little bit further. There’s just one caveat: I have rewritten the implementation in Python. It’s available in the same repo in compiler.py. It’s brief, coming in at a little over 300 LOC + tests (compared to the C version’s 1200 LOC + tests). I guess there’s another caveat, too, which is that the Python version has no S-expression reader. But that’s fine: consider it an exercise fo

Best Resistance Bands of 2025

Resistance bands are usually made out of latex, but there are some that are latex-free and some that come with a fabric cover to prevent injury if it snaps. Resistance bands come in light, medium and heavy weights. The tension weight will vary per brand, but this is how they are usually labeled. There are different types of resistance bands that vary in length and style. Some come in closed loops, some with handles and then there are mini bands.

Ubisoft may have prematurely revealed FX's TV adaptation of Far Cry

A post on Ubisoft's news page reportedly announced that FX is working on a TV show adaptation of the Far Cry franchise. The page has since been taken down and entering the website redirects to Ubisoft's landing page for company news. However, several Redditors have been circulating what they saw in the press release. According to the alleged Ubisoft post, the Far Cry franchise adaptation will be an "anthology drama" where "each season will be set in a new world with a different cast of characte
