Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Unlike AirTags, Bluetooth tags compatible with Google’s Find Hub don’t have a pairing lock. The trackers can easily be factory reset and paired with a new Android device. Reddit users spotted that the issue affects multiple brands, with Chipolo confirming the flaw.

Mosyle announces AccessMule to solve a major blind spot in SMB security

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-09-01 07:00:00

One of the most common blind spots in small business security is access management for various company resources. Today’s IT teams are moving fast (and often understaffed), solving customer problems, and juggling shifting responsibilities as the business grows and evolves. Many SMBs also don’t have a dedicated IT team. They might be fixing things by committee or just trusting that vendors have these problems solved. Behind the scenes, there’s usually little visibility into who still has access t

Raleigh One e-bike launches with VanMoof DNA

theverge.com Thomas Ricker 2025-09-01 21:00:00

The Raleigh One e-bike is now official after The Verge first published details of it last week. It was developed for the Accell Group’s Raleigh brand with help from VanMoof’s cofounders, Ties and Taco Carlier, according to my sources. The announcement never mentions their involvement, which could be viewed as good or bad — good if you view the brothers as innovators, bad if you got burned during the VanMoof bankruptcy or the turmoil that preceded it.

Still upset about last summer’s Spotify price bump? These lawmakers are on the case

While there was still a music-only Basic option, these senators don’t think consumers were made adequately aware.

Donald Trump and Sean Hannity Set Off a Wave of Disinformation After Iran Bombing

wired.com David Gilbert 2025-09-03 02:33:31

President Donald Trump and his most vocal supporters have been using disinformation, fake videos, and mental gymnastics to try to spin the US military’s bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites as a complete and total victory that signals the end of a war instead of the beginning. On Saturday night, with the B-2 stealth bombers that dropped a dozen GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs on the Fordow underground nuclear facility just beginning their flights back to the US, Trump declared the mission a comp

The Trump Organization drew headlines last week when it announced the launch of Trump Mobile, a cell service with plans to release a gold T1 phone in September. One of its selling points, according to the website, is that the T1 phone is "Proudly made in America," though that does not appear it will be the case when the phone launches, among other issues.

Scientists Just Found Something Unbelievably Grim About Pollution Generated by AI

Tech companies are hellbent on pushing out ever more advanced artificial intelligence models — but there appears to be a grim cost to that progress. In a new study in the science journal Frontiers in Communication, German researchers found that large language models (LLM) that provide more accurate answers use exponentially more energy — and hence produce more carbon — than their simpler and lower-performing peers.
