Lina Khan points to Figma IPO as vindication of M&A scrutiny

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-12-25 08:58:52

A surprising figure is celebrating Figma’s successful IPO: Lina Khan, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission. In a Friday afternoon post on X, Khan linked to an article about Figma’s impressive first day of trading and argued the IPO is “a great reminder that letting startups grow into independently successful businesses, rather than be bought up by existing giants, can generate enormous value.” Khan was alluding to a $20 billion deal for Adobe to acquire Figma that fell through back in

July Steam Survey: RTX 5000 surge, new top GPU, 4 in 10 participants using AMD CPUs

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-12-25 05:43:00

What just happened? Here's a clear indication that the supply and pricing problems which have plagued Nvidia's RTX 5000 series are easing: the cards experienced a large uptick in user share in the latest Steam survey. However, there's still no sign of AMD's 9000-series in the main GPU chart, where the RX 7600 XT has only just appeared. Elsewhere, we've got a new most-popular card among participants, and AMD processors have passed a milestone. Starting with the main GPU chart, July's results sho

A recent incident involving a now-removed feature reveals that potentially thousands of people disclosed deeply intimate information with ChatGPT and also inadvertently made it discoverable through Google search.

Andy Walker / Android Authority Every modern smartphone has a capable camera system, and there’s a good chance that you regularly browse the images you capture with it. Most devices come with a brand-adjacent gallery app. I find that Samsung Gallery is one of the best in this regard. But what if you don’t own a Samsung and want a brand-agnostic option?

6 ridiculous promises we were sold about 5G

Kris Carlon / Android Authority Despite some speed and network coverage improvements, 5G hasn’t really lived up to the hype. You know it, I know it, and deep down, even the carriers know it. In fact, a few of the industry’s bigwigs would probably rather we all forget about some of the absolutely outlandish claims and overenthusiastic visions they tried to sell us about 5G.

This dock transforms the Mac mini into a retro classic Mac

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-12-25 06:00:00

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking pr

Tom Holland Just Gave Us a Proper Look at the ‘Brand New Day’ Spider Suit

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-25 05:35:12

Friday was Spider-Man Day (maybe), and to mark the occasion, Sony teased the hero’s new suit for his next movie, Brand New Day. Now, Tom Holland’s gone and shown the full thing. Most of it, at least. On his Instagram, the actor released a video this morning of him walking into a room, stepping into the light to display the new costume in its full glory as a new version of Michael Giacchinno’s Spider-Man theme plays. “We ready?” he asks to someone offscreen, before going off to shoot the movie.

The tradeoff between human and AI context

news.ycombinator.com Doug Turnbull 2025-12-22 11:37:40

AI coding is a skill. You have to decide how much context to put in your brain vs the AI. You can waste your time thinking about the wrong problem because you failed to delegate. Or you can give yourself a headache when the AI coder doesn’t get it. I think about it in terms of spectrum of human to AI context. At the highest levels, we, humans, own all the context. We operate here when our specific value-add matters. We also work here in the many cases AI coders aren’t that smart yet. At the low
