The United Kingdom will no longer force Apple to provide backdoor access to secure user data protected by the company’s iCloud encryption service, according to US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. “Over the past few months, I’ve been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside @POTUS and @VP, to ensure Americans’ private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected,” Gabbard posted to X on Monday. “As a result, the UK has agreed

The BBC understands Apple has not yet received any formal communication from either the US or UK governments. Tulsi Gabbard said in a post on X the UK had agreed to drop its instruction for the tech giant to provide a "back door" which would have "enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties".

Best Surge Protectors of 2025: I Tested 16 Surge Protectors to Find the Best

Accell D080B-051B (Out of stock): It looks like a squid or maybe a six-legged octopus. (Hexapus?) I feel like this is enough reason to buy it, but it may not be for everyone. Its main benefit is that, instead of rigid outlets on a flat frame like most surge protectors, it has five short cables with the outlets at the end. The Accell is rated at a claimed 1,080 joules. Most surge protectors will continue to pass power when they've passed their joule rating, but the D080B-051B has a fail safe, cut

MSNBC Rebrands as MS NOW, but the Web Domain Is for Korean Snowmobiles

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-17 20:40:19

Cable news channel MSNBC is going to rebrand as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, according to a new report from the New York Times. The change is happening because Comcast’s NBCUniversal is spinning off many of its cable TV assets into a new company called Versant, severing ties with the “NBC” part of MSNBC. But it’s not yet clear where you’ll be able to find MS NOW on the web. That’s because the web domain msnow.com is registered in Gyeonggi, South Korea by someone who is clearly not t

Google will pay Australia $36 million over anticompetitive search deal with mobile carriers

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-19 02:09:56

Google has agreed to pay a fine of $55 million AUD ($36 million USD) for anticompetitive practices, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced. It stems from deals Google undertook with Australian telecommunications companies Telstra and Optus to only pre-install Google Search. The key there is that these companies couldn't install any other search engine. Telstra and Optus then got a share of Google's ad revenue from customers using Google search on their respective An

Developers Say GPT-5 Is a Mixed Bag

wired.com Lauren Goode 2025-11-19 18:47:49

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, it told software engineers the model was designed to be a “true coding collaborator” that excels at generating high-quality code and performing agentic, or automated, software tasks. While the company didn’t say so explicitly, OpenAI appeared to be taking direct aim at Anthropic’s Claude Code, which has quickly become many developers’ favored tool for AI-assisted coding.

Instead of going to the pharmacy to get the annual flu vaccine, many people in the US will now be able to get it shipped to their door to take at home themselves. Starting today, AstraZeneca’s FluMist is available through an online pharmacy in 34 states. FluMist is not a new vaccine.

A Common Virus Causes Cancer, but Most Americans Are Clueless About It

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major source of cancer that’s now almost entirely preventable through vaccination. But sobering research out today shows that Americans are largely in the dark about HPV and its many health risks, much less the HPV vaccine. Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina conducted the study, which examined nationally representative survey data. A third of Americans don’t know that the virus exists, they found, while most who do know are still unaware
