IBM's Power11 Processor Architecture at Hot Chips 2025

Third up on today’s CPU track is IBM. Big Blue is at the conference to talk about its latest generation Power architecture chip, the Power11. IBM starts off by recapping Power. Why it exists, and what IBM’s goals are for the processor and architecture. IBM is very system-focused, rather than focusing on selling just CPUs. 1P and 2P systems, all the way up to 16P “glueless” systems. Recapping the Power release history, Power10 has proven to be very successful for IBM, “beyond our wildest dreams

These are the MagSafe and Qi2 accessories for the Pixel 10 I recommend

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Sure, the new Pixel 10 phones come with a bunch of new features, but none of them even come close in substance to the arrival of Qi2 wireless charging. That’s one big upgrade for the Android ecosystem as a whole, one that adds so much convenience. On top of that, it opens up a whole new world of accessories for you to pick from — the entire array of MagSafe-compatible accessories can now work with the Pixel 10. Here are some of my favorite MagSafe/Qi2 accesso

Samsung launches Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, but a big question remains

TL;DR Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, which will be available on September 5. The tablet features a 10.9-inch display with up to 600 nits of brightness.

5 Android phones you should buy instead of the Google Pixel 10

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google’s Pixel 10 series is an impressive showing, and among all the new phones, it’s the base model Pixel 10 that has stolen so much of the spotlight. With a triple camera setup (including a new dedicated telephoto camera), Qi2 magnetic charging, and the same Tensor G5 chip inside the Pixel 10 Pro models, is there any reason not to buy the $799 Pixel 10? Depending on what you’re looking to get out of your next Android phone, there may be after all. We expec

PSA: Canceling your Pixel 10 pre-order could cost you your existing Google One subscription

TL;DR Google is offering free yearly AI Pro and Google One subscriptions to those who pre-order the Pixel 10, and will compensate those who already pay for those services. But if you cancel your pre-order, Google will cancel your existing subscription, besides revoking those benefits. If you re-order another Pixel 10 device, you may not be eligible for these perks as they are limited to once per customer. Google’s Pixel 10 devices can be fairly tempting, especially for the new Pixelsnap charg

This new Pixel 10 feature makes weather reports even more personal, but not for everyone

The Pixel 10 series features Magic Cue , a type of personal assistant that pulls information from other apps. Thanks to Magic Cue, the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL now have a new weather-related feature that makes weather reports even more personal, but sadly, not for everyone. The three new Pixel flagships now support personal weather insights in the Pixel Weather app. These insights deliver tailored weather details and preparation tips based on events and plans saved in your Google account

Busy beaver hunters reach numbers that overwhelm ordinary math

But just how much harder? In 1962, the mathematician Tibor Radó invented a new way to explore this question through what he called the busy beaver game. To play, start by choosing a specific number of rules — call that number n. Your goal is to find the n-rule Turing machine that runs the longest before eventually halting. This machine is called the busy beaver, and the corresponding busy beaver number, BB(n), is the number of steps that it takes. In principle, if you want to find the busy beav

Google Pixel 10 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro: I've used both handsets, and there's a clear winner

Kerry Wan/ZDNET After the success of launching four flagship phones last year, Google is set to continue the trend with the new Pixel 10 series. The Google Pixel 10 Pro stands out as potentially the best option for many people. With a starting price of $999, it offers a compelling blend of premium features borrowed from its more expensive sibling, all in the more manageable size of the standard Pixel 10.

Technics EAH-AZ100 Review: Wireless Earbuds That Sound So Next Level I’m Ruined

2025 Hi-fi audio is a funny thing. Someone could say the words “high fidelity” until you’re both blue in the face, but it’s hard to understand unless you hear it for yourself. I mean, how high is high, anyway? Great audio is as high as your frame of reference is, and if you’re like most people and you’re used to sticking AirPods in your ears and calling it a day, then that’s your baseline. But not everyone is so easily wooed by Apple’s ecosystem, and for those baptized in the expensive waters o

Why the Pixel 10 is making this longtime iPhone user reconsider their next phone

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's PixelSnap is the biggest upgrade for me on the company's new phones. The $799 Pixel 10 now comes with a telephoto camera, a sizeable upgrade for the base model. Gemini AI is much smarter and more capable than Siri.

Marshal madness: A brief history of Ruby deserialization exploits

Documenting the evolution of exploitation techniques serves a crucial purpose in security engineering: it helps us understand not just individual vulnerabilities but the systemic patterns that resist conventional fixes. The story of deserialization exploits in Ruby’s Marshal module offers a uniquely well-documented case study of this phenomenon. That is, a decade-long cycle of patches and bypasses that reveals the futility of addressing symptoms rather than root causes. This history matters bec

Rolling the dice with CSS random()

Random functions in programming languages are amazing. You can use them to generate variations, to make things feel spontaneous and fresh. Until now there was no way to create a random number in CSS. Now, the random() function is on its way. You’ll be able to create a random animation delay, layout content at a random place on the screen, create a random color, or anything you want — all without any JavaScript. The Basics This new function has three arguments in this pattern: random(min, max,

Gutenprint Discontinues macOS Support

As of July 7, 2024 the Gutenprint project has formally deprecated MacOS support. This means that no further MacOS-compatible binaries will be produced. Gutenprint has not had an active MacOS maintainer for over three years, and the remaining developers lack the technical ability to produce MacOS binaries, much less undertake the substantial amount of work necessary to produce, test, and support binaries on newer (post-Mojave/10.14) MacOS releases. For older versions (<= 10.14) of MacOS, there

Optimizing FizzBuzz in Rust

Optimizing FizzBuzz in Rust for Fun and Profit My little cousin is learning Python, and wanted to know about what kinds of questions he could expect to get in coding interviews. I started him off with good ol' FizzBuzz: obsolete for any actual coding interview today (at least, I hope), but good at his level. After a little back and forth getting reminded about how to create range iterators and fixing the order, he landed on this implementation: def basic_fizzbuzz(): for i in range(1, 101): if

Here’s why serious photographers should still pick the Pixel 10 Pro over the Pixel 10

The new Pixels are here, and, to be frank, they’re a bit of a mixed bag in terms of upgrades. Perhaps one of the most significant changes to last year’s formula is that the Google Pixel 10 now features a third camera, bringing longer-range zoom capabilities to Google’s more affordable model and bringing it closer to the best camera phones. For the same $799 price tag as last year, the Pixel 10 has become much more appealing to the series’ photography fans. But is there still a good reason to gr

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold isn’t as slick as my Galaxy Z Fold 7, but I envy it for these reasons

A lot of people seem to be dunking on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold for being a little too thick around the edges. And it’s true, next to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, Google’s latest foldable may not look nearly as elegant or futuristic. The company clearly wasn’t chasing thinness like the rest of the players in the foldable game, and the result is a foldable phone that looks chunkier and is even a tad heavier than its predecessor. However, Google’s lack of attention to the size of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold i

The ROI of Exercise

The ROI of exercise 22 Aug, 2025 I workout 4 days a week and I love it. It's the foundation of my morning routine, following spending 45 minutes drinking coffee on the couch and watching the sun come up with Emma. I've been doing this for a few years now and while I struggled (as everyone does) in the beginning, I can't imagine not exercising in the morning now. On the rare occasion that I do skip a workout, I feel it missing throughout the day as a lack of vitality and less mental clarity.

Your Pixel 10 will let you make WhatsApp calls without cell service

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel 10 devices will support WhatsApp voice and video calls over satellite starting August 28. Google shared a demo showing the satellite icon visible during an incoming WhatsApp call. Google is the first manufacturer to introduce this functionality. Up until now, satellite support on phones has mostly meant SOS messages or sharing your location. That’s set to change later this month, when Pixel 10 devices become the first to make WhatsApp voice and

Looking for a Vitamin D Boost? Here Are 11 Foods to Add to Your Diet

If you're vitamin D deficient and are looking for natural ways to get the nutrients you need, you've come to the right place. While the summer seems to be a great time to get your vitamin D exposure because of all the fun in the sun, some people still need a bit of extra help. Vitamin D has several benefits, from supporting muscles and neurological functions to helping with calcium absorption in the bones and, of course, serving as a great defender against attacks on your immune system.

U.S. Government Now ‘Controls’ 10% of Intel, Trump Says

President Donald Trump announced Friday that the U.S. government would be taking a 10% stake in Intel, the struggling U.S.-based chip manufacturer. But the president’s choice of words will definitely raise more than a few eyebrows, especially since the Trump regime has previously said the federal government will have no corporate governance role at the tech company. “It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Compa

The US government is taking a 10 percent stake in Intel

President Donald Trump says the US government is taking a 10 percent stake in chip maker Intel. Trump shared the news during a press conference on Friday, though an official announcement is still forthcoming, Reuters reports. News of a plan to convert Intel's previously promised CHIPS Act funding into equity in the company was first reported earlier in August. A meeting between Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan and Trump following the President's call for Tan to resign seems to be the source of the deal. "H

Trump says US will take 10% stake in Intel because CEO wants to “keep his job”

Intel has agreed to sell the US a 10 percent stake in the company, Donald Trump announced at a news conference Friday. The US stake is worth $10 billion, Trump said, confirming that the deal was inked following his talks with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Trump had previously called for Tan to resign, accusing the CEO of having "concerning" ties to the Chinese Communist Party. During their meeting, the president claimed that Tan "walked in wanting to keep his job and he ended up giving us $10 billion

Here’s how much the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra may cost in the US

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leak may have revealed the US pricing for the Wi-Fi versions of the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra. The 256GB Galaxy Tab S11 could cost $860. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is said to start at $1,200. Galaxy Tab S11 leaks have been ramping up as of late. Only a couple of weeks ago, a massive leak revealed the full spec sheet and the prices for Europe.
