Bitcoin bucks stock market downtrend but lags gold rally

The moves came amid a sell-off in stocks and a jump in bond yields, which were triggered by concerns — which first emerged late on Friday ahead of the extended holiday weekend — on the legality of President Donald Trump's global tariffs and the prospect that the U.S. may have to repay money already received . The price of so-called digital gold rose as much as 2% to reclaim the $111,000 level after dropping over the weekend to a low last seen in July. Spot gold hovered around $3,500 after surpa

Google’s fan-favorite Ambient EQ feature makes a return on the Pixel 10

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 has “Adaptive Tone,” a feature that dynamically adjusts the display’s white balance to match ambient lighting. This technology is Google’s version of Apple’s True Tone and was previously available on the Pixel 4 under the name “Ambient EQ.” After a five-generation absence, the feature returns to the Pixel phone lineup to improve visual comfort and viewing consistency. The Pixel 10 series isn’t a major hardware leap, though the addi

If you’ve got a killer product, a bold vision, or early traction, and

Klarna would receive proceeds from about 5.6 million shares, while its shareholders are

Wake Up Babe, Dolby Vision 2 Just Dropped After 10 Years—Yes, It’s Powered by AI

After more than 10 years, Dolby is ready to bring its game-changing Dolby Vision tech into the future with (drum roll) Dolby Vision 2. As a part of IFA 2025, Dolby took the wraps off its sequel to Vision, which brings an array of new capabilities to the company’s proprietary HDR format.

Microsoft offers U.S. government over $6 billion in savings on cloud services over 3 years

President Donald Trump shakes hands with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during an American Technology Council roundtable at the White House in Washington on June 19, 2017. Microsoft has agreed to give the U.S. General Services Administration $3.1 billion in potential savings over the course of a year on cloud services used at government agencies. Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House in January, the GSA has sought to aggregate spending through a strategy called OneGov that's me

9 Best Electric Cargo Bikes for Families (2025), Tested and Reviewed

There are several physical, philosophical, environmental, and logistical reasons why it’s better to hop on an electric cargo bike than it is to drive a car. Sitting in traffic is mind-numbing. Earth is on fire. Yet somehow it's easy to ignore all this when you're late to work and have yet to wrestle pants onto your screaming toddler. If you're trying to reconcile your carefree biking days of yore with your current life as a family chauffeur—or you just want a bike for trips to the supermarket o

You can try Apple’s lightning-fast video captioning model right from your browser

A few months ago, Apple released FastVLM, a Visual Language Model (VLM) that offered near-instant high-resolution image processing. Now, you can take it for a spin, provided you have an Apple Silicon-powered Mac. Here’s how. When we first covered FastVLM, we explained that it leveraged MLX, Apple’s own open ML framework specifically designed for Apple Silicon, to deliver up to 85 times faster video captioning, while being more than 3 times smaller than similar models. Since then, Apple has wor

Can you still get US Cellular? Yes, and there’s actually some decent deals

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority T-Mobile is currently concluding its acquisition of US Cellular. In fact, T-Mobile customers can already roam for free on US Cellular towers. So does that mean that US Cellular is no longer available for new customers? Actually, no. As with the Sprint and T-Mobile merger, there’s going to be a transition period where US Cellular stores and services still operate semi-independently before integrating with T-Mobile more directly. The bigger question is if ther

Brokewell Android malware delivered through fake TradingView ads

Cybercriminals are abusing Meta’s advertising platforms with fake offers of a free TradingView Premium app that spreads the Brokewell malware for Android. The campaign targets cryptocurrency assets and has been running since at least July 22nd through an estimated 75 localized ads. Brokewell has been around since early 2024 and features a broad set of capabilities that include stealing sensitive data, remote monitoring and control of the compromised device.

Urban Arrow FamilyNext Pro Review: The Perfect Family Bike

How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5. Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him. All this to say: My

Ready to jump ship from T-Mobile Money? Here are 5 apps you should consider instead

Joe Maring / Android Authority The T-Mobile Money service was recently folded into the T-Life app, and as you might expect, the transition has been rough. Users have reported login failures, locked-out accounts, and incorrect balances. While T-Mobile is working to fix these issues, it is understandable if you are ready to move on. Below, we will cover five alternatives that offer a similar experience without the drama. Quick disclaimer: I am not a financial expert. These are simply apps with f

Alibaba shares surge as AI boom drives cloud unit sales

Alibaba posted a better-than-expected bottom line in the June quarter on Friday, fueled by accelerated sales at its cloud computing unit and a continued revival of its e-commerce business, sending shares higher. Still, the Chinese giant's revenues came in under analyst forecasts. U.S.-listed shares of the Chinese giant had gained nearly 13% on Friday after the company announced results. On Monday, Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed shares surged more than 19% before paring some gains. Here's how Al

You can still buy refurbished Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses for $76 off - how to find deals

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store. I recently ordered a pair of Meta Ray-Bans in the Skylar style with the Shiny Caramel finish with Polar Brown lens

Lewis and Clark marked their trail with laxatives

Audio version is not yet available By Finn J.D. John January 26, 2025 AS LEWIS AND CLARK’S Corps of Discovery made its way across the continent to Oregon, the men (and woman) of the party probably weren’t thinking much about their place in history. So they weren’t taking any particular pains to document their every movement. There were, however, some particular pains they were experiencing with every movement, so to speak ... as a result of a relentlessly low-fiber diet: Everyone was constip

Use One Big Server (2022)

A lot of ink is spent on the "monoliths vs. microservices" debate, but the real issue behind this debate is about whether distributed system architecture is worth the developer time and cost overheads. By thinking about the real operational considerations of our systems, we can get some insight into whether we actually need distributed systems for most things. We have all gotten so familiar with virtualization and abstractions between our software and the servers that run it. These days, "serve

When the sun will literally set on what's left of the British Empire

Click to enlarge A while ago I treated you to a dissertation entitled “Does The Sun Set On The British Empire?”, and concluded that it doesn’t. The UK’s widely scattered overseas territories, sparse though they are, mean that the sun is still always shining, somewhere in the world, over British territory. The most important territories in maintaining this late-empire sunlight are the Pitcairn Islands, in the Pacific, and the British Indian Ocean Territory, in the Indian Ocean. To illustrate th

Meet the Top 10 AI-Proof Jobs That Everyone Wants

AI is rapidly scaling in the workforce and creating fears of an employment crisis, as workers and people entering the workforce try to figure out if their career is on the chopping block. That quick pace is backed by emerging data. As a result, people are trying to find “AI-proof” jobs that can guarantee job security as companies around the world choose to automate tasks instead of hiring new workers. Although no study can definitively say which occupations are 100% AI-proof and which are doom

Director Jim Jarmusch ‘disappointed and disconcerted’ by Mubi’s funding from Sequoia

In Brief Veteran indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch premiered his new movie “Father Mother Sister Brother” today at the Venice Film Festival, where journalists asked him about Mubi, the streaming platform that co-produced the film — specifically, about Mubi’s recent $100 million funding round led by Sequoia Capital. “I was disappointed and disconcerted by this relationship,” Jarmusch said, while noting that his own “relationship with Mubi started much before that, and they were fantastic to work wit

Extreme Heat Makes Your Body Age Faster

It is well known that heat causes exhaustion in the body due to dehydration. But aging? A recent study concluded that extreme heat accelerates the aging of the human body, a worrying fact given the increasing frequency of heat waves due to climate change. The researchers are not talking about the effects of solar radiation on the skin, but biological aging. Unlike chronological age—that answer that you give when asked how old you are—your biological age reflects how well your cells, tissues, a

The Verge’s favorite gifts for book lovers

PopSocket grips might be closely associated with smartphones, but they work surprisingly well with most e-readers. That’s because they let you prop up or securely hold any big-screen device with just one hand, making them a handy tool for those looking for a little more convenience. The fact that they come in an array of fun styles is just a plus.

Bitwig Studio 6 details revealed, and editing gets a big boost

We get it. After years of DAWs leapfrogging in similar directions, the new generation of music tools made it easier to start projects, get inspiration, and improvise. But sometimes they played catchup on editing and automation. Bitwig Studio 6’s details are here, and it feels like editing automation, clips, and more are looking as fresh as those other tools, all in an updated UI. The beta is out now. Beta testing is free now if you’re ready to give this a look. You’ll need an active Upgrade Pla

How Does Timecode Vinyl Work? (Pt. 3)

How Does Timecode Vinyl Actually Work? (Pt. 3) Since its release in 2011, the Traktor Control Vinyl MK2 has sparked curiosity among digital DJs and audio developers alike. Its timecode format stands apart from Serato’s, which we explored in the previous posts. With the MK2 system, Native Instruments introduced a more advanced timecode that boosts resolution and accuracy by applying advanced cryptographic techniques. In this post, we’ll break down how it works at a basic level and how Mixxx is

Bi-directional accountability: A leadership shift most organizations avoid

Most organizations enforce one-way accountability. The CBC framework flips that, making commitments mutual, visible, and enforceable. In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi

What Tech Jobs Don’t Drug Test? That Might Depend

Workers who live in states where cannabis is legal often face a conundrum. Can they continue using a substance deemed by lawmakers to be fit for public consumption, even if they may have an employer who might drug test? Or do they avoid it all together, because they don’t know what their employer’s drug policy is? And does that policy include only “hard” drugs like cocaine, opioids or methamphetamines, or does it test for cannabis too? These days, the answer is a lot more flexible than it was
