Local Restaurant Exhausted as Google AI Keeps Telling Customers About Daily Specials That Don't Exist

If you're trying to find out what a restaurant has to offer, you might look up its menu, or go to its Facebook page. Hell, you could call and ask. But that's all démodé. Why not query an AI chatbot, a piece of software notorious for inventing facts out of the tokenized ether of the internet, and treat its answer like the word of God? Here's why: because you'd annoy the hell out of the restaurant. Just ask the beleaguered owners of the Montana eatery Stefanina's Wentzville, who are begging thei

“Bypassing” specialization in Rust

"Bypassing" specialization in Rust or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Function Pointers I've spent nearly a year developing and refining my own FAT driver in Rust. For much of the last six months, I had to put the project on hold due to school commitments. However, I'm back now, especially since this project has become my most-starred repository on GitHub. During that journey, I (almost) learned how FAT and filesystems in general work behind-the-scenes and in my attempts to navigate the

Motorola is giving the Razr a crystal-studded special edition and here’s your first look

TL;DR Motorola is preparing to launch a special edition Razr 2025 in collaboration with Swarovski. Images of this special edition foldable have now leaked. It appears this collaboration is limited to just the base model It’s not uncommon for Motorola to loop in collaborators to create special editions of its products.

Z Fold 7? Samsung exec confirms that Galaxy Z Fold 8 is in the works

TL;DR A Samsung executive has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is already in development. The executive was responding to a question about a possible Galaxy Z Fold 7 Special Edition phone. This news comes after the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition was released last year as an unofficial proof of concept for the Fold 7. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and it looks like a major design upgrade over last year’s foldable phone. However, a company executive has also confirmed that t

Show HN: I Got Tired of Calculator Sites, So I Built My Own

I’ve always found that online calculators tend to have bad UIs, especially on mobile. Most of the calculator websites I’ve come across use outdated and inconvenient ways of inputting data, or they format the results in confusing ways. I’ve noticed that fraction calculators (especially mixed fractions) are terrible to use, even on desktop. I haven’t built one of those yet, but it’s something I’m planning to tackle soon. This is a project I’ve always wanted to work on, but I’m relatively new to

Goodbye to All That – My Resignation from the FBI

On May 31 of this year, in a series of phone calls beginning at nine in the morning and ending that afternoon, the newly installed Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Norfolk Field Office, Dominique Evans, made clear to me that, at the direction of Dan Bongino, my career with the organization had—for all intents and purposes—come to an end. It would be an understatement to say that I had not expected this. In fact, I was in the midst of preparing for a potential mov

Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Special 2025: How to Watch From Anywhere

The Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Special is the premier holiday spectacle, and for good reason.

Sony Is Practically Giving Away 4.5-Star Rated Wired On-Ear Headphones for Under $10 to Clear Out Stock

Not every pair of headphones needs to have noise cancellation, touch controls, or a premium price tag to be worth your money. Sometimes, the best pair is the one that just gets the job done. That means they produce sound and they connect to your devices. It doesn’t have to get any more complicated than that. If you’re looking for that kind of everyday listening solution, the Sony ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones are worth buying, especially when you can get them at such a great price. Head to

Apple introduces new limited-time Apple Card sign-up offer: Earn $100 in Daily Cash

Once again, Apple has launched a new Apple Card sign up bonus for a limited time. Apple Card typically doesn’t come with a sign up bonus, but from time to time – Apple will launch these special offers through social media campaigns and targeted emails. Typically, I’d refer to an Apple Card sign up offer as “rare”, but there’s been so many in the past year or so that it’d no longer be an accurate term. Regardless though, if you sign up for an Apple Card normally – you don’t receive a sign up bon

‘Beautiful’ and ‘Hard to Read’: Designers React to Apple’s Liquid Glass Update

Apple’s translucent design update for iOS 26, called Liquid Glass, is now available to developers, with a public beta scheduled for next month. The refresh—Apple’s first major interface overhaul in 10 years—makes app icons, buttons, menus, and pop-ups look like they are made of frosted glass, with blurred background colors peeking through. The sweeping software changes are not just for iPhones. This glassy look—inspired by the operating system in the Vision Pro headset—will eventually roll out
