NOBS Toothpaste Tablets: What Dentists Say About Its Main Ingredient

The NOBS (No Bad Stuff) toothpaste tablets are going viral thanks to their main ingredient of nano-hydroxyapatite, a fluoride-free alternative. As health concerns around fluoride and its presence in public drinking water continue to swirl, nano-hydroxyapatite toothpastes are becoming increasingly popular. You've likely seen them on store shelves or in ads from companies like Boka and Davids, marketed as fluoride-free alternatives for your toothbrush that claim to whiten teeth, repair enamel and

China’s Salt Typhoon Hackers Breached the US National Guard for Nearly a Year

After reporting last week that the “raw” Jeffrey Epstein prison video posted by the FBI was likely modified in at least some ways (though there is no evidence that the footage was deceptively manipulated), WIRED reported on Tuesday that metadata analysis of the video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The United States Department of Homeland Security is facing controversy over DNA samples taken from approximately 133,000 migrant ch

‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Is Delayed Again, but Only for a Bit

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been delayed yet again, only this time, it’s less of a problem and more of a recalibration. The third and final film in the Oscar-winning animated trilogy was originally supposed to be out in early 2024 but was then delayed all the way to June 4, 2027. Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however. Apparently it has more to do with ju

Woman Who Exposed AI CEO's Affair on Jumbotron Responds to Controversy

"Play stupid games… win stupid prizes." Cheat Day After filming those cheating AI executives canoodling at a Coldplay concert in Boston, the woman behind the viral video has little sympathy. In an interview with The Sun, 28-year-old Grace Springer insisted she wasn't trying to cause any trouble when she posted the kiss cam footage of Andy Byron, the CEO of the AI data analytics firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR head. Still, she's not exactly apologetic either. As the youn

Americans Are Paying $78 Monthly for Internet on Average: Here’s What to Do if Your Bill Is Too High.

If you've been with the same internet provider for a while, it probably seems like it gets more expensive by the year. That's not wrong: 63% of adults are paying $195 more on average for internet than they did last year, and high prices are the no. 1 reason people choose not to have a home internet connection at all. I analyzed over 150 plans from the country's biggest internet providers to figure out what the typical cost of internet is in the US, and I found that the median price is $63 per m

Microsoft unceremoniously kills off the Xbox Movies & TV store

You can longer rent or buy TV shows or movies, but you won’t lose any of your purchases. Microsoft has rather abruptly closed down its Movies & TV app, which is accessible on Xbox and Windows PCs via the Microsoft Store. This allowed people to rent or buy movies or TV shows natively through their console or computer’s storefront, but in a newly updated support page Microsoft said the service has ended. "Microsoft no longer offers new entertainment content for purchase, including movies and TV

CoCo1 composite video

When I got the CoCo, one of the big problems was the super-smeary, snowy video on the RF-out. Even though composite video is generated internally by the video circuitry of the computer, Tandy didn’t end up breaking it out to an actual port. Lots of other 8-bit machines of the era are in the same boat. Luckily, adding a composite video port to the CoCo is very straightforward! So straightforward, in fact, that I did it twice. Theory As I said just now, the Motorola 6847 VDG already generates a

Is your Ring camera showing strange logins? Here's what's going on

Maria Diaz/ZDNET If a TikTok trend has you spooked about your Ring camera's security, there's good news -- everything is ,OK and nobody is watching your videos.

Trump's firing of Democratic FTC commissioner was unlawful, judge rules

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, one of the Democratic FTC Commissioners President Trump had fired back in March, said she looks forward to getting back to work. US District Judge Loren AliKhan has just ruled that her removal from the agency was "unlawful and without legal effect" and that she was still a "rightful member" of the commission. The judge explained that the firings violated protections that prevent a president from unilaterally removing officials at independent agencies. In her statement a

Trump’s claims of a Coca-Cola agreement quickly go flat as nutritionists groan

Late Tuesday, President Trump announced on social media that he had convinced Coca-Cola to agree to use "REAL Cane Sugar" in Coke, in lieu of the current, cheaper sweetener used in the US version of the drink: high-fructose corn syrup. "I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them—You’ll see. It's just better!" Trump wrote. On Wednesday, Coca-Cola failed to confirm that supposed agreement. On its website, the beverage giant posted a brief, vag

In a press release, GKids announced that the home release of Arcane season two will feature a limited-run Collector’s Edition. This will include SteelBook Editions in both 4K UHD and Blu-ray for

This AI Warps Live Video in Real Time

Dean Leitersdorf introduces himself over Zoom, then types a prompt that makes me feel like I’ve just taken psychedelic mushrooms: “wild west, cosmic, Roman Empire, golden, underwater.” He feeds the words into an artificial intelligence model developed by his startup, Decart, which manipulates live video in real time. “I have no idea what’s going to happen," Leitersdorf says with a laugh, shortly before transforming into a bizarre, gold-tinged, subaquatic version of Julius Caesar in a poncho.

80 Years After the Trinity Atomic Blast, New Mexico’s Downwinders May Finally See Reparations

Eighty years after the Trinity Test brought nuclear fallout to their communities, New Mexico residents living downstream of the test may finally be eligible for long-sought reparations. In the early hours of July 16, 1945, the U.S. Army detonated the world’s first atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Radioactive ash soon began to fall over large swaths of the surrounding regions. Since then, survivors of the U.S. federal government’s nuclear testing progra

Waymo Expands in Austin. Everything to Know About the Robotaxi

Table of Contents Waymo Expands in Austin. Everything to Know About the Robotaxi Self-driving cars are slowly becoming less sci-fi and more real-world as companies like Waymo, the autonomous arm of Google's parent Alphabet, expand into more cities. On Thursday, the company extended into more parts of Austin, Texas, so it now drives across 90 square miles of the city. There are more than 100 Waymo vehicles in the city, with plans for further expansion. Along with Austin, Waymo currently operate

Musk Accuses Trump of Covering Up Epstein Scandal

It's no wonder multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk sees the Jeffrey Epstein crisis as an enormous opportunity to score political points. The situation has driven a massive wedge between president Donald Trump and his MAGA base. A furious Trump has repeatedly attempted to pour cold water on conspiracy theories surrounding the late sex criminal billionaire's mysterious death and the existence of a purported "client list" — efforts that only enraged his supporters even further. In a Twitter spr

New Apple video comedically says: be careful what you remove from photos

Apple has just released a new video advertising Apple Intelligence on the iPhone 16, with one feature spotlighted: Clean Up. The humorous message of the video? Be careful what you remove from photos. Clean Up should not be used to remove beloved pets, says new ad Clean Up is an Apple Intelligence feature that lets you remove unwanted objects from photos. Available inside the Photos app, Clean Up lets you easily alter an image to get rid of any visual distraction that’s unwanted. But per Appl

Twitch starts testing vertical video streams

Livestreaming service Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, announced at its annual TwitchCon event earlier this year that it would move into the vertical video space. Now those initial alpha tests have gone live with a few streamers, according to findings from market intelligence provider Appsensa. In a recent build, the firm found references to the vertical video tests and information about what sort of features these new streams would offer. The feature, once fully rolled out, would make Twitch

Amazon Renews ‘Invincible’ for Season 5 While You’re Still Waiting for Season 4

Today, Prime Video announced that Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season, giving fans even more reason to stay alive long enough to not only witness its already confirmed fourth season, with the promise that more of co-creator Robert Kirkman’s cult-classic Image Comics series is in the chamber, ready to be unloaded onto the streamer. The news that Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans. During the Season 3 press tour, Robert Kirkman boldly de

Adobe Firefly can now generate sound effects from your audio cues

Since rolling out the redesign of its Firefly app in April, Adobe has been releasing major updates for the generative AI hub at a near monthly clip. Today, the company is introducing a handful of new features to assist those who use Firefly's video capabilities. To start, Adobe is making it easier to add sound effects to AI-generated clips.

Adobe Firefly can now generate AI sound effects for videos - and I'm seriously impressed

Adobe / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Just a year and a half ago, the latest and greatest of Adobe's Firefly generative AI offerings involved producing high-quality images from text with customization options, such as reference images. Since then, Adobe has pivoted into text-to-video generation and is now adding a slew of features to make it even more competitive.

Adobe’s new AI tool turns silly noises into realistic audio effects

Adobe is launching new generative AI filmmaking tools that provide fun ways to create sound effects and control generated video outputs. Alongside the familiar text prompts that typically allow you to describe what Adobe’s Firefly AI models should make or edit, users can now use onomatopoeia-like voice recordings to generate custom sounds, and use reference footage to guide the movements in Firefly-generated videos.
