Amazon unveils a new Fire TV lineup, including the $40 Fire TV Stick 4K Select

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-30 14:45:41

It's hard to muster much excitement for Amazon's Fire TV hardware these days — the company's main goal has been to offer cheap TVs and set top boxes for mainstream consumers who haven't been swayed by more compelling offerings from Roku, Apple and Google. Apparently, not much is changing this year, judging from everything announced during Amazon’s 2025 device launch event. There’s a new lineup of Fire TV sets, as well as the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, which the company describes as “the fastest st

Is the “million-year-old” skull from China a Denisovan or something else?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-30 14:14:52

A fossil skull from China that made headlines last week may or may not be a million years old, but it's probably closely related to Denisovans. The fossil skull, dubbed Yunxian 2, is one of three unearthed from a terrace alongside the Han River, in central China, in a layer of river sediment somewhere between 600,000 and 1 million years old. Archaeologists originally identified them as Homo erectus, but Hanjiang Normal University paleoanthropologist Xiaobo Feng and his colleagues’ recent digita

Google's Latest AI Ransomware Defense Only Goes So Far

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2025-09-30 13:44:52

Ransomware attacks have loomed for years as an urgent digital threat with no easy solution—especially as they have evolved to include data grab-and-leak attacks that may not even involve data-encrypting malware at all. Traditional ransomware that locks up files and systems is still rampant, though, and Google on Tuesday launched a new defense for its Google Drive for desktop apps that aims to quickly detect ransomware activity and halt cloud syncing before an infection can spread.

Asus TUF Gaming T500 PC Review: Great for New PC Gamers

Because it’s so easy to build a gaming desktop at home, companies making prebuilt machines need to offer either a great value or something unique. That’s why the Asus TUF T500 isn't technically a desktop PC, at least in the classic sense. Instead, it leverages a smaller motherboard and laptop CPU, reducing the overall footprint but dropping the ability to upgrade or repair some of the individual parts. Most notably, the T500 is sporting a full-size desktop GPU, which is the biggest determining
