Mike Lindell lost defamation case, and his lawyers were fined for AI hallucinations

Attorney Christopher Kachouroff and the law firm of McSweeney Cynkar & Kachouroff were fined $3,000, jointly and severally. Attorney Jennifer DeMaster was separately ordered to pay $3,000.

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look. The fact is, space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one. A growing body of evidence suggests that our entire Milky Way galaxy is locate

OneText raises $4.5M from Y Combinator, Khosla to reinvent shopping by text

The typical online checkout experience has become bloated with friction. And while more companies are building solutions around online checkout, few are rethinking it from scratch. One such company is OneText, which is building what it calls a “text-to-buy network,” that lets shoppers complete purchases via text message. The company, founded by former PayPal employees, just closed a $4.5 million seed round backed by Khosla Ventures, Coatue, Citi Ventures, Y Combinator, Good Friends (the fund cr

Seagate Compact 1TB Portable SSD Hits an All-Time Low, 260K+ Reviewers Might Envy This Prime Day Price

Tiny portable thumb drives are a great way to move important files, but they usually have one or both of two unfortunate shortcomings — they’re either fragile, small in capacity, or both. Not surprisingly, a USB-C thumb drive that conquers both of those issues comes from Seagate — the remarkable Ultra Compact 1TB portable SSD, which is just $80 right now in Amazon Prime Day Deal list.

Cybersecurity’s Unsung Heroes: Elevating Neurodiverse Talent in the Digital Age

They aren’t your average hires. They don’t glide through job interviews or thrive in open-plan offices. But when it comes to pattern recognition, threat modeling, or zero-day hunting, neurodiverse individuals often outperform their peers. And yet, they remain largely untapped in the cybersecurity workforce. If we’re serious about fortifying digital defense systems, it’s time we stop overlooking the neurodiverse minds that already think in ways most cybersecurity frameworks are only beginning to

This browser-based Apple Lisa simulator takes you back to 1983

Before the original Macintosh made history in 1984, there was the 1983 Apple Lisa, one of the first commercial personal computers to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) rather than a command-line prompt.

Rivian’s new Quad-Motor R1T and R1S beat the competition in any conditions

Rivian provided flights from Albany, New York, to Reno, Nevada, and accommodation so Ars could drive the quad-motor R1s. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. It's getting harder to find hyperboles to describe the performance of modern EVs. Horsepower figures measured in four digits and acceleration figures clocking in well under three seconds aren't exactly de rigueur, but they're well short of rare these days. Rivian's latest generation ticks those boxes, joining the automaker's range

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th
