The company recommends switching to 1Password because it supports importing data directly from Dropbox; however, other options are also worth considering. Dropbox will begin a phased winddown of its password manager next month, and data

Figma co-founder and CEO Dylan Field said Thursday that artificial intelligence doesn't pose a serious threat to the future of the design software company, which is on the verge of debuting on the public markets. "We're in this moment where you might, if you're singularity-pilled, go, 'Hey, superintelligence is coming and it'll be able to do things that no human can do," Field told CNBC's "Squawk Box." "I have a harder time believing that we're going to approach that really quickly right now, b
If you’re a developer rocking an Apple Silicon Mac and writing in Zig, congratulations - you’ve chosen the scenic route through the desert of profiling tools. It’s just you, your code, and a tumbleweed named Apple Instruments. But don’t worry - we’ll try to find some oases. Okay, it’s not that bad, but we’re far away from the rich ecosystem of profiling tools available on Linux. Note: I have limited experience using low-level languages, so this article doesn’t provide a deep dive into profili
As we enter the dog days of summer, Netflix's August slate of movies is giving us something to look forward to. This month, the platform is dropping dozens of new films, including some great originals like the romance My Oxford Year, starring Sofia Carson, and the ensemble mystery The Thursday Murder Club. The streamer is also premiering a few exciting new documentaries this month, including The Truth About Jussie Smollett?, in which the actor speaks out about the assault he's accused of stagin
In the 1990s, Got Milk? ads became popular because of a marketing campaign created by the California Milk Processor Board, encouraging people to drink more cow's milk through celebrity-packed ads and commercials. The interest eventually dwindled, and soon after, plant-based milks started to gain popularity. Since the 2000s, every version of plant-based milks you can imagine, ranging from soy, oat, almond, pistachio, macadamia, pea -- you name it, probably exists in your supermarket aisle. Now it
At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, happening October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco, a candid conversation is coming to the Builder Stage — one that unpacks what startup funding looks like beyond the venture capital echo chamber. Funding routes that don’t start in the Valley Founders today have more capital paths than ever. But how do you navigate them — and know which one actually supports your growth? In this session, hear from Erik Allebest, the CEO and co-founder of chess.com; Gale Wilkin
OpenAI said Thursday that it plans to launch Stargate Norway, its first AI data center in Europe, in partnership with British AI cloud infrastructure provider Nscale and Norwegian energy infrastructure firm Aker. Nscale will design and build the site, and it will be a 50/50 joint venture between the two companies. OpenAI will be an “off-taker” in the project, buying capacity from the data center. The announcement comes as Europe races to achieve AI sovereignty and invest in data centers and co
Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella speaks in front of the OpenAI logo at the Microsoft Build conference in Seattle, Washington, on May 19, 2025. The $4 trillion club has a second member. Microsoft shares climbed more than 5% Thursday following a better-than-expected earnings report, lifting the software giant's market cap above the $4 trillion mark.

Roughly 124 miles (200 kilometers) beneath the Appalachian Mountains in New England lies the aptly named Northern Appalachian Anomaly (NAA), a mysterious 218-mile-wide (350-km) region of unusually hot rock. Researchers have long believed that the NAA resulted from the plate tectonic movement that broke North America off northwest Africa 180 million years ago. In a new study published Tuesday in the journal Geology, however, a team of international researchers argue that the hot, subsurface rock

Hacking attacks—many using ransomware—now hit US cities every few days. They are expensive to mitigate and extremely disruptive. Abilene, Texas, for instance, had 477 GB of data stolen this spring. The city refused to pay the requested ransom and instead decided to replace every server, desktop, laptop, desk telephone, and storage device. This has required a "temporary return to pen-and-paper systems" while the entire city network is rebuilt, but at least Abilene was insured against such an atta
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google Chrome on Android will let you require biometric authentication before autofilling passwords, adding a much-needed layer of security. This feature closes a loophole, as the existing biometric protection for autofill in Google Password Manager currently only applies to apps, not the browser. A newly discovered setting explicitly states this protection is “coming soon to Chrome,” finally preventing password autofill without user verification. Man
Oil's versatility knows no bounds. Not only does it help cook our favorite proteins and vegetables but it can also be mixed into dressings and baked goods to enhance everything from crave-worthy fat content to superior moisture levels. Some varieties, such as olive and coconut oil, can even be applied directly to skin and hair for the benefits of long-lasting hydration. But many oils serve very specific purposes. While ever-popular olive oil may be the go-to for practically everything in your k
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR It seems T-Mobile may be automatically switching some legacy customers to Go5G Plus plans starting August 13, claiming it comes at no extra cost. The change mostly affects Magenta Max users, with some T-Mobile One plans also reportedly included. While perks and pricing are said to remain the same, concerns remain about how this impacts older Price Lock guarantees. There also doesn’t appear to be a way to opt out. Update: July 31, 2025 (12:13 AM ET): T-Mob
What screen time does to children's brains is more complicated than it seems 4 hours ago Share Save Zoe Kleinman • @zsk Technology editor Share Save BBC The other day, while I was doing some household chores, I handed my youngest child his dad's iPad to keep him entertained. But after a while I suddenly felt uneasy: I wasn't keeping a close eye on how long he had spent using it or what he was looking at. So I told him it was time to stop. A full-blown tantrum erupted. He kicked, he yelled, he

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to continue his company's artificial intelligence spending blitz well into the next year as rival tech giants do the same. Zuckerberg told analysts Wednesday during a second-quarter earnings call that AI's rapid pace of progress has informed much of Meta's recent business decisions, including the company's $14.3 billion June investment into the data-annotating startup Scale AI as part of a revamped AI strategy involving a wave of high-profile hires.

While Samsung's second-quarter operating profit beat its own forecast of around 4.6 trillion won, it was a steep drop from the 10.44 trillion won recorded in the same period last year. The South Korean technology giant posted a quarterly revenue of 74.6 trillion won, up slightly from 74.07 trillion won a year earlier

berkozel/Getty Images Every five years or so, I make an inventory of the apps I use most frequently. It's always fascinating to see how the list has changed over time, and it usually says something about the computing landscape. When I did that exercise this year, I was astonished at the changes. Half of the apps I used five years ago are no longer on my list at all in 2025. They've been replaced, in most cases, by apps that are tightly linked with web-based services and cloud storage and can
One of the most profoundly transformed domains in the wake of the LLM revolution has been code generation, especially the rise of vibe coding, where natural language prompts replace traditional programming. This shift has empowered millions of users with little to no technical background to build fully functional applications with ease. Platforms like Loveable, Bolt, and Base44 are on the front of this movement - they have enabled the creation of millions of applications spanning from persona
When a terminal application that spawns child processes doesn't exit cleanly after a Ctrl+C , the user is left with a corrupted terminal. Instead of a clean prompt, you get garbled output and a non-functional shell. This post covers how to solve these issues, with examples from the Moose CLI (for the PR that fixed many of these issues, see here). In this post, you’ll read learnings from solving these issues in the Moose CLI— terminal application that manages multiple child processes, including
