Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. On Thursday, I had dinner with Sam Altman, a few other OpenAI executives, and a small group of reporters in San Francisco. Altman answered our questions for hours. No topic was off limits, and everything, with the exception of what was said over dessert, was on the record. It’s uncommon to have such an extended, wide-ranging interview with a major tech CEO over a meal. But there’s nothing common about the s

Taiwan’s “silicon shield” could be weakening

technologyreview.com Johanna M. Costigan 2025-11-26 09:00:00

Squarely in the middle Taiwan’s modern security uncertainties stem from the long-contested issue of the island’s sovereignty. After losing the first Sino-Japanese War in the late 1800s, the Qing dynasty forfeited Taiwan to Japanese imperial control. It was Japan’s “model colony” until 1945, when postwar negotiations resulted in its transfer to the Republic of China under Chiang Kai-shek of the Nationalist Party, known as the KMT. The insurgent CCP under Mao Zedong ultimately defeated the Natio

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is one of the most expensive Wear OS watches available in 2025, but it's also one of the best. It looks incredible, the rotating bezel is magical, and One UI 8 Watch is a killer piece of software. As long as the price doesn't scare you, the Watch 8 Classic is tough to beat. At first glance, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic looks like a smartwatch so many of us have been waiting for. It’s a Samsung watch with a reasonably-sized design, a bright

How Long Can I Keep Fresh Chicken in the Fridge

Using meat delivery services has made it easy to have everything I need for cooking dinner delivered right to my door. But while getting fresh chicken so quickly has made it easy to figure out what I make, I've realized I don't always finish everything I've ordered. This means I'm often using leftovers for lunch the next day. I knew chicken didn’t have a long shelf life, even after cooking, but I recently realized I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating chicken that had already

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Review: Great, Not a Must-Have

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-11-26 11:30:00

Each attachment is embedded with RFID chips that auto-adjust heat and airflow based on your last-used settings. Not a revolutionary change, but it is nice not to have to toggle settings every time I switch attachments. You can also pair it with Dyson's app, which offers tutorials based on your hair type and goals. Dyson also moved the fan and heat controls to the base of the handle. It’s a cleaner look, but it can get finicky if you’re used to adjusting settings mid-styling. If you’ve already p

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When ChatGPT first launched over two years ago, the AI chatbot was met with such high demand that OpenAI introduced a premium plan called ChatGPT Plus. This plan guaranteed access to the chatbot even during blackout periods. ChatGPT Plus perks also included access to OpenAI's most advanced models, making the $20 plan almost a no-brainer for superusers.

Their friendship may be over, but president Donald Trump just handed Elon Musk and his company SpaceX a major boon by brushing aside major environmental regulations. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order to accelerate space launches by effectively deregulating the industry. As part of this push, the Federal Aviation Administration is directed to "eliminate or expedite" environmental reviews — an obstacle that has been a persistent thorn in Musk's side.

I love my grill, but standing over blazing flames in 90-degree weather isn't my idea of summer fun. Cooking indoors isn't much better -- the oven turns the whole house into a sauna, and firing up the gas range with the windows closed can hurt indoor air quality. That's where the air fryer comes in. These compact powerhouses cook quickly while using far less energy than a traditional oven, making them a perfect heat wave solution.
