The latest Nielsen charts showed that Severance was performing well with audiences, and now we have official confirmation from Apple itself. Via Deadline, Apple TV+ says that Severance has become its most popular show ever, even overtaking its hit comedy Ted Lasso.

With Apple TV+ continuing to decline to share concrete numbers about the

Apple Intelligence on iPhone is now $200 cheaper — with just two small trade-offs

Want a new iPhone with Apple Intelligence? Before today, that would set you back about $800. After Apple’s latest iPhone announcement, however, the cost to access Apple Intelligence on iPhone is 25% less. There are just two very minor caveats. Apple Intelligence is a suite of various features powered by artificial intelligence. Apple provides its AI tools with privacy in mind, using a stateless server system called Private Cloud Compute. This privacy-centric approach is unlike other modern AI s

You can now apply for the 'opportunity to purchase' an RTX 5090 or 5080 from NVIDIA

While graphics cards have been getting almost ludicrously more powerful over the years, it's also been increasingly difficult to actually buy one . In an effort to address this problem, NVIDIA has introduced a plan it's calling Verified Priority Access for its recently released GeForce RTX 50 series of GPUs. Verified Priority Access offers an unspecified number of people the chance to buy either a GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 Founders Edition graphics card direct from the company. This "opportu

Malaysia is betting on data centers to boost its economy

JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia (AP) — Winson Lau has always had contingency plans. But he wasn’t prepared for data centers. Lau relies on water and electricity to operate his thriving export business in Malaysia’s Johor province, where he raises a kaleidoscope of tropical fish in rows of aquariums, including albino fish with red spots that can fetch up to $10,000 from collectors. His contingency plans in the event of an outage involve an intricate system of purifying wastewater through friendly bacteria

Cameron John Wagenius, a former US Army soldier, pleaded guilty to his role in a hack that affected AT&T and Verizon and resulted in the theft of data from well over 100 million customers of the companies, according to TechCrunch.

Wagenius was taken into custody last year aft

Trump’s Pick for NASA Chief Hints at Expected Shift Toward Mars

If Jared Isaacman becomes NASA’s administrator, as he’s likely to do, the agency will prioritize Mars over the Moon under the Trump administration, judging by some of his first public comments on the matter. Jared Isaacman has been active on social media since Trump named him as his choice to become the U.S. space agency’s next administrator, which he did in early December. But the astronaut mostly stuck to posting about flying planes, his payments company Shift4, and retweeting images of space

Russia-aligned hackers are targeting Signal users with device-linking QR codes

Signal, as an encrypted messaging app and protocol, remains relatively secure. But Signal's growing popularity as a tool to circumvent surveillance has led agents affiliated with Russia to try to manipulate the app's users into surreptitiously linking their devices, according to Google's Threat Intelligence Group. While Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine is likely driving the country's desire to work around Signal's encryption, "We anticipate the tactics and methods used to target Signal wi

These Are the SpaceX Engineers Already Working Inside the FAA

Engineers who work for Elon Musk’s SpaceX have been brought on as senior advisers to the acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), sources tell WIRED. On Sunday, Sean Duffy, secretary of the Department of Transportation, which oversees the FAA, announced in a post on X that SpaceX engineers would be visiting the Air Traffic Control System Command Center in Virginia to take what he positioned as a tour. “The safety of air travel is a nonpartisan matter,” Musk replied. “S

Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s futuristic pickup truck

Here’s everything you need to know about Tesla’s first pickup truck, which Elon Musk has called “heart-stopping” and his “personal favorite” of Tesla’s vehicles. Pickups have become more popular lately — their share of the US light vehicle market increased to 17.5 percent in 2019, from just under 13 percent in 2012. They’re also the fastest-growing auto segment in the US. That makes Tesla’s entry into pickups sensible, analysts say. Another pickup perk: pricing. Pickups tend to be expensive. E

Nvidia is launching ‘priority access’ to help fans buy RTX 5080 and 5090 FE GPUs

is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. Nvidia has yet to explain why it launched its GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs with barely any inventory, some major launch driver issues, and the occasional melting power connector, but it has apparently reconsidered its stance when it comes to scalpers. The company’s just announced a way for Nvidia fans to sign up for “Verified Priority Acc

Fury Erupts After Netflix Used AI to Clone the Voice of a Murdered Influencer for a True Crime Doc About Her Death

Netflix has come under fire for using generative AI to reproduce the voice of Gabby Petito, the 22-year-old social media influencer who, according to the FBI, was murdered by her fiancé Brian Laundrie in August 2021. In the opening credits of the company's true crime documentary, "American Murder: Gabby Petito," which premiered its first episode on Monday, a notice reveals that Petito's "journal entries and text messages are brought to life in this series in her own voice, using voice recreatio

Man Wakes Up, Finds That Large Chunk of SpaceX Rocket Has Crashed Into His Garden

A Polish man named Adam Borucki made an unusual discovery in his backyard after waking up one day: the purported remains of a second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. As the UK tabloid The Daily Mail reports, Borucki reported the "large object about [five by three feet] in size" to the local police. "We are investigating how the object ended up in this location, but the important thing is that no one was harmed," police spokesman Andrzej Borowiak told the tabloid. It seems likely that the ob

Ceramics could be Samsung’s secret to the Galaxy S25 Edge’s slim design

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is working on a new, extra thin addition to the Galaxy S25 family: the S25 Edge. A new report claims that Samsung could use ceramic materials for the Galaxy S25 Edge’s rear panel. Samsung already employs ceramic glass Corning Gorilla Armor 2 with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. There are only so many ways to build a smartphone, and especially when we’ve all sort of gotten on board with the same basic shape, a manufacturer’s choice of materials can go a
