This Dyson air purifier shoots out fresh air like a jet engine

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Dyson is launching a new air purifier that’s designed to look — but thankfully, not sound — like a jet engine. The Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact is launching in the US on September 30th for $349.99, featuring a new nozzle design that’s shaped to help the device blast jets of air at high speed, similar to how a concentrator works on a hairdryer. The increase in airflow velocity allows the HushJet Purifier C

6 browser-based attacks all security teams should be ready for in 2025

What security teams need to know about the browser-based attack techniques that are the leading cause of breaches in 2025. “The browser is the new battleground.” “The browser is the new endpoint”. These are statements you’ll run into time and again as you read articles on websites like this one. But what does this actually mean from a security perspective? In this article, we’ll explore what security teams are trying to stop attackers from doing in the browser, breaking down what a “browser-b

The Unexpected Winners of Trump’s Trade War

I thought I had outsmarted Donald Trump’s tariffs, but I was wrong. Well, at least sort of. On August 29, the US government officially ended an 87-year-old rule that allowed Americans to import small packages tariff-free. Known as the de minimis exemption, the policy had allowed shipments under a certain value threshold—$800 in recent years—to clear customs without paying any duties. Policymakers have been debating changing de minimis for years, but when it finally happened, the move still sent

Figma's stock slumps 18% after first earnings report to lowest since IPO

Figma shares plummeted nearly 20% on Thursday, falling to the lowest price since the design software vendor's IPO in July after the company reported earnings for the first time as a public company. Results for the second quarter were largely inline with expectations, as Figma had issued preliminary results a little over a month ago. Revenue increased 41% from a year earlier to $249.6 million, slightly topping analyst estimates of $248.8 million, according to LSEG. Analysts at Piper Sandler des

12 Kitchen Items That Your Dishwasher Will Destroy

Whether you're breaking in a new dishwasher or you're a veteran of automated cleaning, the urge to cram everything inside and hit start is real. Hold up before you toss every utensil and blade onto those racks. Those scorching temperatures and intense wash cycles can wreak havoc on your best kitchen gear. Think warping, rust, cracks, and dull edges -- even items marked "dishwasher-safe" aren't immune. Yes, that means some of your most expensive tools are at risk too. So before you run that nex

Inverting the Xorshift128 random number generator

CVE-2025-7783 is a very recent vulnerability affecting a lot of applications in the Node.js ecosystem including those which use axios or the deprecated request library. In all honesty, this vulnerability is really an edge case that is extremely unlikely to be exploited: it is dependent upon a number of events that are not normally present. One of those events is the attacker having access to five consecutive outputs of JavaScript Math.random( ) , which allows the attacker to predict future outpu

Netflix now lets you (almost) easily share clips of your favorite shows

The Netflix app now lets you select the start and end points of a clip, so you can share it outside the app. Here’s how it works. You can now save a clip, and then share it outside the Netflix app Historically, most streaming services have been allergic to sharing features, as they feared they would facilitate piracy. For many years, even simple screenshots were a no-no. One day, they realized that the potential gains from a random moment of an original movie or show going viral outweighed th

The best VPN deals: Get up to 77 percent off ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, Surfshark and others

A virtual private network (VPN) can save you a lot of money if you use it right. By changing your virtual location, you can use one streaming service to see shows that might be scattered between three or four in your home country. You can also trawl the world for discounts that only show up in a few select regions. And of course, you can't put a price on the joy of taking back your online business from intrusive ads and trackers. VPN providers are all competing to boost their subscriber counts,

Salesforce issues weak revenue guidance even as earnings beat estimates

Marc Benioff, co-founder and CEO of Salesforce, sits for an interview in San Francisco on April 25, 2025. Salesforce issued disappointing guidance on Wednesday, even as earnings and revenue topped estimates for the fiscal second quarter. The stock dropped 4% in extended trading.

Android’s Quick Share upgrade is here to make file transfers more convenient

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Google is widely rolling out its redesign of Quick Share. The redesigned UI introduces separate “Send” and “Receive” screens. Users can select files directly from the Send screen and preview them. Google’s Quick Share makes it easy to share files between devices wirelessly, whether that’s with another Android device, Windows PC, or Chromebook. Since April, we’ve been aware that Google was working on a major revamp to the UI. That redesign even started r

Investors Cheer As Amazon Cracks Down on Prime Accounts

Amazon.com Inc. is cracking down on shared Prime accounts. The company says it is ending a little-known but long-standing feature of its Prime membership that allowed subscribers to extend free shipping benefits to friends and family outside their homes. The move, announced this week, will shutter the company’s “Invitee Program” on Oct. 1, redirecting members to a stricter household-sharing model known as Amazon Family. What exactly are they ending? For years, the Invitee Program quietly let

‘Alien: Earth’ Finally Gave Us the Episode We Were Waiting For

When I saw the title for the fifth episode of Alien: Earth, it seemed too good to be true. Could the episode actually live up to the implications of its title? Were we about to get a brand-new, full-fledged Alien movie in the comfort of our home? Thankfully, the answer to both those questions is “Yes.” The fifth episode of Alien: Earth saw creator Noah Hawley deliver his own version of an Alien movie in the confines of his show, and it was familiar, fascinating, and fraught with tension. Let’s d

How Disinformation About the Minnesota Shooting Spread Like Wildfire on X

Minutes after the perpetrator of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis last week was identified, YouTube appeared to delete several videos they had shared that morning. But not before the videos were downloaded and reshared in full on X. Within hours, the platform was flooded with wild claims about the shooter and her motivation, with everyone from Elon Musk, the site’s owner, to the head of the FBI and left-wing activists posting half-baked allegations blaming anti-Chris

For all that's holy, can you just leverage the Web, please?

When I moved in with my wife Laura in 2005, we lived in a shared apartment in Barcelona that had an ancient washing machine that was just there already, no idea who initially bought it. I managed to break the washing machine door's closing mechanism some time in 2006, so for a few weeks, whenever we did the washing, we had to lean a chair against the door so it wouldn't open. At the time, we were both students and living on a small budget. Eventually, later in the same year, we bought an Electr

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics

Sharing Is Scaring: Linking Cloud File-Sharing to Programming Language Semantics Skyler Austen, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Kathi Fisler SPLASH Onward!, 2025 Abstract Users often struggle with cloud file-sharing applications. Problems appear to arise not only from interface flaws, but also from misunderstanding the underlying semantics of operations like linking, attaching, downloading, and editing. We argue that these difficulties echo long-standing challenges in understanding concepts in progra

Luigi Mangione's likeness used to model shirt on Shein

Luigi Mangione's likeness used to model shirt on Shein A spokesperson from Shein told BBC News: "The image in question was removed immediately upon discovery." It is thought the product he appeared to be modelling was on sale for just under $10 (£7.50). An image with his likeness, which appeared to show him wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt, appeared on the fast-fashion website until its removal. Fast-fashion giant Shein has launched an investigation after an image of Luigi Mangione - acc

Marshall’s Mid-Century-Looking Soundbar Would Make Don Draper Cry Tears of Joy

Marshall’s lineup of non-rockstar-grade audio gear just got a little bigger. As a part of IFA 2025, the company announced the Heston 60, a more compact soundbar that complements its previously released Heston 120. As usual, Marshall is keeping things mid-century with a design that invokes its classic amps and includes tactile controls (buttons instead of knobs like those used on the Heston 120), woven fabric, and PU leather. It also comes in either cream or black, but if you don’t buy the cream

As the Great Salt Lake Shrinks, Something Unexpected Is Rising to the Surface

The Great Salt Lake once reached depths of up to 1,000 feet and spanned roughly 20,000 square miles, but today, it mostly resembles a parched wasteland. So, when signs of life suddenly began popping up across the drying playa, scientists were perplexed. In the last several years, reed-covered mounds have appeared off the lake’s southeast shore. These densely vegetated oases must receive enough freshwater to sustain plant life, but experts weren’t sure where this resource was coming from. Resear

The tariff apocalypse is here

As President Donald Trump’s August 29th deadline for new tariffs rolled around, the first thing that I thought of was 2026 planners. In July, Trump signed an executive order essentially killing a little-known but highly consequential trade rule, which meant that purchases coming from abroad — like $100 in planners and accessories — could enter the US duty-free. My preferred planner, the Hobonichi Techo, is printed and shipped from Japan. With the de minimis exemption removed, my tax bill could b
