Meta product chief Chris Cox says smart glasses are the future of computing

Meta Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said on Thursday that smart glasses are the future of computing devices.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which were revealed on Wedne

Mysterious Object From Beyond Solar System May Be "Seed" Traveling Galaxy and Creating New Planets, Paper Finds

Astronomers have been fascinated after spotting an object earlier this year that came from interstellar space as is now hurtling through our inner solar system. Since then, they've been using powerful telescopes to study the mysterious object, trying to understand its unusual composition and exact origins. Most agree that it's probably a comet, albeit an unusual one, though at least one has posited that it could be a remnant of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization — a colorful claim, but o

A pivotal meeting on vaccine guidance is underway—and former CDC leaders are alarmed

On Thursday, an advisory CDC panel that develops vaccine guidance met for a two-day discussion on multiple childhood vaccines. During the meeting, which was underway as The Checkup went to press, members of the panel were set to discuss those vaccines and propose recommendations on their use. Monarez worries that access to childhood vaccines is under threat—and that the public health consequences could be dire. “If vaccine protections are weakened, preventable diseases will return,” she said.

Google Tasks may finally add this critical time-management feature (APK teardown)

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR We’ve spotted that Google Tasks looks to be testing deadline support. Deadlines would only be an option to add when editing a task, rather than when it’s created. The test version does not allow you to specify a deadline time and does not display the due date in the main list view. Google Tasks has always been a bare-bones tool. For some, that’s part of the appeal, but its stripped-down approach often leaves power users wanting more. The lack of sharing,

Finally, a cheap multitool that doesn't sacrifice function for form

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. I admit it: I'm addicted to multitools. My daily carry for the past year or so has been the Gerber Dual Force, which has the most powerful pliers and best screwdriver on a multitool I've used.

Tesla is looking to redesign its door handles following trapped-passenger report

Tesla is looking into redesigning the way to open its car doors in an emergency following several accidents where passengers were reportedly trapped in burning vehicles because rescuers could not open them. Even without an accident, other Tesla owners have reported having to break their own car windows after buckling their children in and then being unable to get in the car again, according to an investigation launched by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, citing owner complai

Linking to Text Fragments with a Bookmarklet

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet One of my favourite features added to web browsers in the last few years is text fragments. Text fragments allow you to link directly to specific text on a web page, and some browsers will highlight the linked text – for example, by scrolling to it, or adding a coloured highlight. This is useful if I’m linking to a long page that doesn’t have linkable headings – I want it to be easy for readers to find the part of the page I was looking for. Here’s

Automatic differentiation can be incorrect

ISCL Seminar Series The Numerical Analysis of Differentiable Simulation: How Automatic Differentiation of Physics Can Give Incorrect Derivatives Scientific machine learning (SciML) relies heavily on automatic differentiation (AD), the process of constructing gradients which include machine learning integrated into mechanistic models for the purpose of gradient-based optimization.

Configuration files are user interfaces

18 Sep, 2025 We have all been there. Your software keeps growing and you feel the need to make it customizable. It is too soon for a full-blown UI with all the bells and whistles, so your pragmatic instinct suggests a text-based configuration file. Yes, that’s exactly it! You rejoice knowing the software’s configuration will be trivial to version control. Your pragmatic instinct is satisfied as well; the door remains open to creating a proper UI later, since it would be merely a graphical view

The New ‘Batman’ Run Is 2025’s Best-Selling Comic Yet

Two weeks after Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez’s Batman began, it’s already hit a massive milestone. According to a press release, the inaugural comic has sold over 500,000 copies, making it the current top-selling comic of 2025. As the Hollywood Reporter notes, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1 from Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, and Annalisa Leoni and Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Batman #158—the start of their still-ongoing Hush sequel, which Fraction and Jiménez’s run is set after—take second

Here's Why You Really Taste Wine Before a Server Pours for the Table

Wine service can feel intimidating if you're not experienced with the ritual. The swirling, sniffing, and polite approval after that small initial pour might seem like theater or a simple taste test. However, that preliminary sample serves a specific purpose: verifying the wine's quality. The initial pour allows you to detect whether the wine has spoiled. Bottles can occasionally deteriorate due to poor storage conditions or defective corks, resulting in what's known as "corked" wine. This flaw

New attack on ChatGPT research agent pilfers secrets from Gmail inboxes

So far, prompt injections have proved impossible to prevent, much like memory-corruption vulnerabilities in certain programming languages and SQL injections in Web applications are. That has left OpenAI and the rest of the LLM market reliant on mitigations that are often introduced on a case-by-case basis, and only in response to the discovery of a working exploit. Accordingly, OpenAI mitigated the prompt-injection technique ShadowLeak fell to—but only after Radware privately alerted the LLM ma

Nvidia will invest $5 billion in Intel, co-develop new server and PC chips

In a major collaboration that would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago, Nvidia announced today that it was buying a total of $5 billion in Intel stock, giving Intel's competitor ownership of roughly 4 percent of the company. In addition to the investment, the two companies said that they would be co-developing "multiple generations of custom data center and PC products." "The companies will focus on seamlessly connecting NVIDIA and Intel architectures using NVIDIA NVLink," reads Nvi

Satya Nadella is haunted at the prospect of Microsoft not surviving the AI era

“Some of the biggest businesses we’ve built might not be as relevant going forward,” admitted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during an employee-only town hall last week. Nadella was responding to a question about the perceived change in culture inside Microsoft, but his answer revealed a lot more about his own fears over Microsoft’s future in this AI era. “Our industry is full of case studies of companies that were great once, that just disappeared. I’m haunted by one particular one called DEC,” s
