Sony phones are disappearing across key markets: Is the Xperia era coming to an end?

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR Sony may be on the verge of completely exiting the European market. The company has already confirmed a full retreat from Finland, but its devices are no longer available through official channels in multiple European countries.

iPhone alarm not going off? 6 potential fixes to this annoying issue

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it. At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down. But after double-checking that, even switching off vibrate and cranking the volume all the way up overnight, the problem persisted. Somewhere between frustration and desperation, I installed a third-party alarm app to try and

I Solved the Century-Old Mystery of a Miraculous Shipwreck Survivor

I t’s the morning of August 22, 2019, and I’m in a Zodiac bouncing along the waters of the St. Lawrence River. It can hold six divers and all their gear, but this morning, there are only six of us—no gear. Far from being divers, we are curiosity seekers from New York, Vancouver, London, and Montreal, all obsessed with the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, which claimed 1,014 lives in 1914. Until a few years ago, I had never heard of the Empress and its disastrous end. And that’s staggering, be

Clashes between web and X11 colors in the CSS color scheme

In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It was traditionally shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root>/lib/X11/rgb.txt . The web colors list is descended from it but differs for certain color names.[1] Color names are not standardized by Xlib or the X11 protocol. The list does not show continuity either in selected color values or in color names, an

The Casino Social Media Platform That Wants to ‘Kill’ Facebook and TikTok

Pump.fun, a viral crypto launchpad built on Solana, says it wants to “kill Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch.” If that sounds like meme-fueled madness, it might be, but it also just pulled off one of the most astonishing fundraising feats in recent memory, raking in an eye-watering $600 million in 12 minutes through a public token sale.

Meta built its AI reputation on openness — that may be changing

Top members of Meta’s new Superintelligence Lab discussed pivoting away from the company’s powerful open source AI model, Behemoth, and instead developing a closed model, reports The New York Times. Sources told The Times that Meta had completed training on Behemoth, but delayed its release due to underwhelming internal performance. When the new Superintelligence Lab launched, testing on the model reportedly halted. The discussions are just that — discussions. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg would st

Brian Singerman is raising over $500M for a new fund with a twist on the VC model

New AI voice tool trained to copy British regional accents

New AI voice tool trained to copy British regional accents A new AI voice-cloning tool from a British firm claims to be able to reproduce a range of UK accents more accurately than some of its US and Chinese rivals. Because much of the data traditionally used to train AI products with voices comes from North American or southern English speaking sources, many artificial voices tend to sound similar. To combat this, the company Synthesia spent a year compiling its own database of UK voices wit

Which Foldable Will You Flip For? Comparing Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE

Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor. That's admirable considering this newest iteration of the Flip phone series features several upgrades, including bigger screens and more powerful hardware. But the Z Flip 7 isn't the only clamshell foldable Samsung is debuting this summer. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is slightly smaller and bridges the gap between the two generatio

The FDA Just Approved a New Blue Food Dye. Is It an Allergen?

This year, food dyes are being put under a microscope. Following the US Food and Drug Administration's ban on Red Dye No. 3 in January, the administration has since approved three natural food dyes in its stead. Now, in addition to the FDA and Department of Health and Human Services asking food manufacturers to phase out all petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the US food supply, the FDA is asking these companies to fast-track getting rid of Red No. 3 before the 2027 deadline. To help this along

The 2025 Low-Power Computer Vision Challenge: Spurring Innovation for Edge and Mobile Devices

Imagine a downtown urban street on a traffic-heavy Saturday night. Now, add a severe snowstorm and an autonomous vehicle that safely navigates it all, despite fogged-up cameras, unpredictable pedestrians in oversized outerwear, streetlights throwing glare off a dozen wet surfaces, and the snow itself, which all but obliterates the visibility of traffic signs and lane markers. A computer vision (CV) system that could make this safe navigation possible would revolutionize not only autonomous

Restaurant Uses AI for Menu, Accidentally Describes Appetizer in Way So Disgusting That We May Never Recover

Musk Calls on Trump to Release Epstein Files

President Donald Trump's loyal MAGA base is in shambles over his administration's handling of files related to the deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein — and Trump's friend-turned-enemy Elon Musk is twisting the knife. Last week, White House officials walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, arguing that there wasn't a "client list" full of celebrities, and that his cause of death in a New York City prison cell was the result of a suicide, not murder. The terse announcement
