This WiFi 6 Router Covers 6,500 Sq.Ft. and Is Now at Its Lowest Price with 10,000 Five-Star Reviews

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2025-09-20 16:10:59

Low WiFi in a large house can be quite frustrating, particularly when your ISP router is not powerful enough to cover all parts of it. Instead of relying on an average box that has a tendency of creating dead spots and lagging connections, it is worth investing in a more powerful system from a trusted brand like TP-Link. One of their best-selling devices, the 3-pack TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 mesh system (deco x55) is currently selling at an all-time low price of $149, down from $199 previously

The New ‘Weapons’ Trailer Promises ‘a Lot of People Die in a Lot of Really Weird Ways’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-20 16:30:20

So far the marketing for Weapons is looking like 2025’s slightly more accessible answer to last year’s Longlegs: freaky and distressing, and promising exponentially more of the same from the feature itself. A first trailer gave a little more insight into the movie’s plot, and a retro-styled website plays up its true-crime angle. Now Weapons is back with a second clip to set the dread-filled mood even more. We see a bewildered teacher (Julia Garner) being blamed for a class of missing kids, with

Crunch time—we’ll soon find out if Amazon’s launch providers are up to the job

For the second time in two months, United Launch Alliance sent a batch of 27 broadband Internet satellites into orbit for Amazon on Monday morning. Just like the last flight on April 28, an Atlas V rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and delivered Amazon's satellites into an on-target orbit roughly 280 miles (450 kilometers) above Earth. This was the second launch of a full load of operational satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper, a network envisioned to become a competitor to Spa

Elon Musk’s Lawyers Claim He ‘Does Not Use a Computer’

wired.com Caroline Haskins 2025-09-20 16:24:45

Elon Musk’s lawyers claimed that he “does not use a computer” in a Sunday court filing related to his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer. Musk and his artificial intelligence startup xAI sued OpenAI in February 2024, alleging the company committed breach of contract by abandoning its founding agreement to develop

A Chinese firm has just launched a constantly changing set of AI benchmarks

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2025-09-20 19:46:28

Development of the benchmark at HongShan began in 2022, following ChatGPT’s breakout success, as an internal tool for assessing which models are worth investing in. Since then, led by partner Gong Yuan, the team has steadily expanded the system, bringing in outside researchers and professionals to help refine it. As the project grew more sophisticated, they decided to release it to the public. Xbench approached the problem with two different systems. One is similar to traditional benchmarking:

Transparent Ambition: on translucent user interfaces

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 03:32:47

Translucent user interfaces is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake. Aside from movie visual effect trickery, it started out in Mac OS X's Aqua, followed by Windows Vista's Aero, followed by (then) OS X's Vibrancy, followed by Windows 10's Acrylic. Over time, more and more of the user interface has become translucent similar to foggy/privacy-preserving sheets of glass. The unstated goal has always been to "look cool". The stated goal has always been to "give more pixels to your content"

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

news.ycombinator.com James Felton 2025-09-20 20:24:05

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher

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