gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2026-01-06 11:50:10

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan told employees in a staff-wide memo yesterday that the company plans to cut its workforce by roughly 15%—more than 25,000 jobs—aiming to end the year with about 75,000 employees worldwide.

The Federal Communications Commission has approved Skydance's $8 billion acquisition of Paramount, which owns CBS. But the agency's approval drew fiery dissent from the only Democratic commissioner, Anna Gomez, after requiring written commitments from Skydance that allow the government to influence editorial decisions at CBS.

CRISPR gene-editing therapy has shown great potential to treat and even cure diseases, but scientists are now discovering how it can be used to prevent them as well. A team of researchers found a way to edit a single gene in a mosquito that prevented it from transmitting malaria, according to a paper published in Nature. These genetically modified mosquitos could eventually be released into the wild, helping prevent some of the 600,000 malaria deaths that occur each year. Mosquitos infect up to

How to sync passkeys in Chrome across your PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android

Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys promise to replace passwords as a more secure and convenient login method. But they still have a way to go before fulfilling that promise. That's because passkeys are often way too difficult to set up on one device, let alone all the devices you use.
