Office on HP-UX and Unix Software Engineering CAD Mathematics EDA Publishing Office Networks Internet Services Development Emulation Core Games Several office, productivity and publishing programs were ported to HP-UX throughout the 1980s and 1990. While technical design and engineering was the main use case for PA-RISC computers on Unix, graphics and documentation programs allowed engineers to stay integrated into the wider office environment for documentation and exchange.

Classic Anime Flick ‘Angel’s Egg’ Hits Theaters in November

Before he helmed the first anime film adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, director Mamoru Oshii made his own original works, including Angel’s Egg. The film turns 40 years old later this year, and to celebrate, distributor GKids is bringing it to North American theaters for the first time. Beginning November 19, theaters across the country will put a 4K restoration of the movie on the big screen. Created by Oshii and character designer Yoshitaka Amano, the post-apocalyptic film stars a young girl

Best Mineral Sunscreen of 2025

CNET staff -- not advertisers, partners or business interests -- determine how we review products and services. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Sunscreen is an important part of skin care year-round, but especially in the summer, when we tend to be outside more often in more intense sun. Mineral sunscreens (also called physical sunscreens) tend to be a great fit for those with sensitive skin. While chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays, mineral sunscreens reflect the rays u

The same photos, four ways: How Android brands see the world differently

Robert Triggs / Android Authority It’s the perfect time of the year to take snaps of pretty, colorful things. But as we know, not every camera captures the same scene in quite the same way. Often, the differences are small, but when it comes to color science, every brand has its own take on what the perfect picture looks like. Despite years of innovation and brand partnerships, it seems impossible to please everyone. Whether it’s Samsung’s historic oversaturation or more modern issues with blan

Pairing your Galaxy Watch with a non-Samsung phone? Here’s what you’re missing out on

Andy Walker / Android Authority Samsung’s smartwatches (and the Galaxy Ring) are compatible with most Android phones, but you’ll only get the full experience when paired with Samsung Galaxy smartphones. This applies to older Galaxy Watch models up to the latest Galaxy Watch 8 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. But what are these features, and are they worth considering switching smartphones for? Do you use a Galaxy Watch with a Samsung smartphone? 65 votes Yes, I do. 40 % No, I pair my Galaxy

The viral Toniebox is exactly what both kids and parents want from a smart device (and it's on sale)

Maria Diaz/ZDNET My kid had been asking for a Toniebox for two years, but I always talked her out of it. I'm no Grinch, but each set basic starter kit is $100. Then we finally got one during a Prime Day sales event. Testing a Toniebox has not only convinced me that it's perfect for my kids and worth every penny, but it's such a great device that I'd recommend it to any parent of young children. Here's why. Also: I ditched my Bluetooth speakers for this slick turntable - and it's more practical

This Pixel 10 rumor just gave Google an edge over Samsung and OnePlus

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Recent rumors and leaks suggest that the Pixel 10 series will feature magnet-based Qi2 wireless charging. That would position the Google Pixel well above Samsung, Motorola, and OnePlus in charging capabilities. The big question is how fast the charging will be, and how reliable it is compared to the iPhone's MagSafe.

Solving the Nostr web clients attack vector

Aug 9 2025 Solving the Nostr web clients attack vector One problem Nostr still has to deal with is the fact that web clients are "owned" by someone, because they rely so much on the domain name they're served from. Everything is fine with, say, https://coracle.social/, until npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn decides to shut it down or maybe he is threatened to include some malicious code in there, most Coracle users are going to fall for that and Nostr will feel

Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty. And while the Galaxy S25 might look

I Tried Perplexity's Comet AI Web Browser and It Might Be the Future

It takes deep, below-the-navel brazen audacity to take on Google in online search. Just ask Microsoft, DuckDuckGo, Brave and the slew of other search engines that have tried to scrape away at Google's near 90% global market share. It takes a kick in the head to think Google would sell Chrome, its wildly popular web browser. It seems that AI search company Perplexity has a pair of grit and gall, along with a multitude of head fractures, as it not only aims to usurp Google in online search, it of

Made by Google 2025: Here Are the Top Pixel 10 Leaks and Rumors Ahead of Launch

The new Pixel 10 line will debut on Aug. 20 at the Made by Google event, and it almost feels like we've already seen the phones revealed thanks to the plethora of rumors and presumed leaks of the handsets, which seem like they'll include both traditional smartphones and a foldable option. Google isn't hiding that the Pixel 10 is coming, as the company itself has posted multiple stylized shots of the phone to promote its launch event. However Google is still keeping detailed specs and features o

The 20 Best Xbox Games Right Now

Over the past two decades, Microsoft has turned the Xbox brand into a veritable juggernaut in the console gaming world. The Xbox Series X and Series S, the combined fourth generation of the Xbox, have sold over 21 million units. The Xbox One, which was still supported until 2023, sold over 58 million units worldwide. As Microsoft shifts its focus toward supporting console and PC gamers alike with the Game Pass subscription service, there's never been a larger ecosystem of Xbox consoles to choos

How a mysterious particle could explain the Universe’s missing antimatter

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current theories, matter and its counterpart, antimatter, ought to have been created in equal amounts at the time of the Big Bang. But antimatter is vanishingly rare in the universe. So what happened? Physicists don’t know the answer to that question yet, but many think the solution must involve some subtle dif

Pixel 9 Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Google Pixel 9 for $599: The Pixel 9 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great smartphone, but between the Pixel 9a and the Pixel 9 Pro series, it struggles to stand out.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is $600 off ahead of the new model’s debut

Some people like to stay on the cutting edge of technology.

HBO Max’s ‘Looney Tunes’ Purge Has Found a Sanctuary in Tubi

Looney Tunes‘ search for a streaming home has reached a happy ending—and some consolation after being prominently featured on HBO Max initially and then being wiped from the platform. The series has settled on Tubi, where fans can now find over 700 episodes. After being removed from the HBO Max media library back in March, the majority of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons were in limbo, but thankfully, Tubi swept in to save them. The rescue all but mirrors the prophetic algorithms-are-evil plot

Microsoft Patch Tuesday, August 2025 Edition

Microsoft today released updates to fix more than 100 security flaws in its Windows operating systems and other software. At least 13 of the bugs received Microsoft’s most-dire “critical” rating, meaning they could be abused by malware or malcontents to gain remote access to a Windows system with little or no help from users. August’s patch batch from Redmond includes an update for CVE-2025-53786, a vulnerability that allows an attacker to pivot from a compromised Microsoft Exchange Server dire

Model intelligence is no longer the constraint for automation

The perception is that model improvement seems to be stagnating. GPT-5 wasn’t the step change that people were expecting. Yet, models continue to improve on reasoning benchmarks. Recently, both OpenAI and Google models were on par with gold medallists in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2025 (IMO). At the same time it’s still difficult to make AI agents work for relatively simple enterprise use cases. Why is there such a disparity in model performance between problem domains? Why are mode

TextKit 2 – The Promised Land

TextKit 2 (NSTextLayoutManager) API was announced publicly during WWDC21, which is over 4 years ago. Before that, it was in private development for a few years and gained widespread adoption in the macOS and iOS frameworks. Promised an easier, faster, overall better API and text layout engine that replaces the aged TextKit 1 (NSLayoutManager) engine. Over the years, I gained some level of expertise in TextKit 2 and macOS/iOS text processing, which resulted in STTextView - a re-implementation of

Do Vibration Plates Actually Help You Lose Weight, Build Muscle and Get Stronger?

When you're trying to lose weight or build muscle, figuring out what actually works can be frustrating. There are plenty of options, from lifting weights to cardio classes, and now vibration plates are part of the conversation. But does standing on a shaking platform really help you get stronger or shed pounds, or is it just another short-lived trend? To find out, we talked to personal trainers and other fitness experts. They explained how vibration plates are supposed to work, the benefits you

Tech IPOs are roaring after 'years of Prohibition' — it may be too good

Brendan Blumer, Chairman of of Bullish and Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish, Bullish a cryptocurrency exchange operator, pose with staffs during the company's IPO at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., August 13, 2025. The Bullish IPO this week took on added significance, perhaps because of the company name. When shares of the Peter Thiel-backed cryptocurrency exchange more than doubled out of the gate on Wednesday before finishing the day up 84%, it was the latest sign that the tech

Next week’s Google event is sounding more like a late-night talk show lineup

TL;DR The Made by Google event next week will feature celebrity guests alongside product reveals. Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Curry, Lando Norris, and the Jonas Brothers are among the teased guests. The event celebrates 10 generations of Pixel and ends with the tagline “Get outside your comfort phone.” It looks like Google’s big Pixel launch next week won’t just be about the hardware. In what appears to be a bid to draw a wider audience than tech nerds like us, Google is rolling out the red carpet

Louisiana AG Calls Out ‘Escape to Epstein Island’ Roblox Game in Lawsuit

The attorney general of Louisiana filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the popular online gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of failing to protect child users. Among the material with which the suit takes issue is a game on the platform called “Escape to Epstein Island” that was labeled as appropriate for all ages. Attorney General Liz Murrill alleges in the lawsuit that Roblox put user growth and profits over child safety, calling it “the perfect place for pedophiles.” “Every parent should be

On Netflix, you can catch two movies that suit very different moods, the crime drama Night Always Comes, or the adult animated comedy Fixed, arriving this week.

Showrunner Noah Hawley, whose previous series include Fargo and Legio

SpaceX reveals why the last two Starships failed as another launch draws near

SpaceX is continuing with final preparations for the 10th full-scale test flight of the company's enormous Starship rocket after receiving launch approval Friday from the Federal Aviation Administration. Engineers completed a final test of Starship's propulsion system with a so-called "spin prime" test Wednesday at the launch site in South Texas. Ground crews then rolled the ship back to a nearby hangar for engine inspections, touchups to its heat shield, and a handful of other chores to ready

I finally found a lightweight multitool that doesn't sacrifice function for form - and it's only $30

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I admit it: I'm addicted to multitools. My daily carry for the past year or so has been the Gerber Dual Force, which has the most powerful pliers and best screwdriver on a multitool I've used. But the Dual Force is big and heavy, and not suited for lightweight applications like hiking. Also: 10 tiny tools I carry with me everywhere - how they work I have some hikes on the horizon where I'll want a flexible multitool that can handle things like bottle opening, tigh

OpenBSD is so fast, I had to modify the program slightly to measure itself

Here’s a little benchmark complements of Jann Horn. It’s unexpectedly slow on Linux. OpenBSD is so fast, I had to modify the program slightly to measure itself, as the time utility is missing sufficient precision to even record nonzero. All it does is create one extra thread, then both existing threads create 256 sockets. What’s so hard about that? #include <pthread.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <err.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/socket.h> static void open_socket

Launch HN: Embedder (YC S25) – Claude code for embedded software

Hey HN - We’re Bob and Ethan from Embedder ( https://embedder.dev ), a hardware-aware AI coding agent that can write firmware and test it on physical hardware. Here’s a demo in which we integrate a magnetometer for the Pebble 2 smartwatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOpAfeiFQkQ We were frustrated by the gap between coding agents and the realities of writing firmware. We'd ask Cursor to, say, write an I2C driver for a new sensor on an STM32, and it would confidently spit out code that used

SpaceX Has Likely Skirted Federal Income Taxes for Decades, Investigation Reveals

Since its founding in 2002, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has emerged as the leading force in commercial spaceflight and a key launch provider for the U.S. government. A recent investigation suggests its dominance may stem—at least in part—from two decades of federal tax avoidance. Internal company documents reviewed exclusively by The New York Times show that SpaceX can exploit net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, a U.S. tax provision that lets companies use past losses to offset future taxable income
