We all know there’s a lot of tech to potentially upgrade in your life, but for those who want to upgrade their downtime with inexpensive, relatively short video games, I have good news. 2025 has already featured a wealth of excellent titles to spend your time with, including ones from smaller and independent developers that you can complete in a few sessions. If you’re looking for a good new game to play (and aren’t already deep into Hollow Knight: Silksong), here are some great options from thi

Google thinks it can have AI summaries and a healthy web, too

So, I don’t want to speak about the specifics of the lawsuit, but I can speak to our philosophy here, which is, look, we want a healthy ecosystem. The 10 blue links serve the ecosystem very well, and it was a simple value proposition. We provided links that directed users free of charge to billions of publications around the world. We’re not going to abandon that model. We think that there’s use for that model. It’s still an important part of the ecosystem. But user preferences, and what users

Writing a Good AI Image Prompt Isn't Hard, but You Need These Essential Elements

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-26 00:05:03

One of the first things I learned while testing AI image generators is that there are a lot of things that can go wrong when you're trying to get the image you see in your head to appear on your screen. If you've ever used an AI image or video generator, you know what I mean. I've spent the past year testing and reviewing different AI image generators, and I've generated hundreds of images across services like Google's nano bananas model, Midjourney and Dall-E. But the images I created haven't

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 15 Pro: What’s more worthwhile?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-26 01:03:00

Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and iPhone Air models – and as we’ve seen, the base iPhone 17 gained a plethora of upgrades that have made it quite a compelling package. That begs the question, does a 2 year old ‘Pro’ iPhone still have a leg up, or should you just go with the new base model iPhone 17? Displays iPhone 17 gains ProMotion for the first time, something that you previously had to buy an iPhone Pro for. On top of that, it isn’t a compromised ProMotion display

If you’re trying to buy a new iPhone but don’t quite want an iPhone 17, it can often be hard to find something on a tighter budget. Sure, Apple offers the iPhone 16e at $599 – but not everyone finds that to be a compelling phone.

Some thoughts on personal Git hosting

As part of my ongoing (and somewhat futile) efforts to ReDeCentralise, I'm looking at moving my personal projects away from GitHub. I already have accounts with GitLab and CodeBerg - but both of those sites are run by someone else. While they're lovely now, there's nothing stopping them becoming as slow or AI-infested as GitHub. So I want to host my own Git instance for my personal projects. I'm experimenting with https://git.edent.tel/ It isn't quite self-hosted; I'm paying PikaPod €2/month t

Hollow Knight: Silksong received a lot of hype in the lead-up to its release on Thursday. When the long-awaited title finally came out, a flood of players rushed to download it, but it appears some caught up in the hype were not prepared for the game's crushing difficulty. But there is some help for struggling players near the very start of the game. Silksong protagonist Hornet is far more agile than the Knight from Hollow Knight, especially in her diagonal downward slash. But this angled attac

30m 0s A few months ago, I was taking the subway to work when a 16-year-old boy slipped on the subway platform and hit his chin on the ground. He stumbled onto the train and stood next to me. I kept my earbuds in and tried to convince myself this wasn’t my problem. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw that he’d split open his chin; blood and tears were gushing down his face. I looked around the train for someone else to help—maybe someone who works with kids. No one even looked up. So I grabb

You don't want to hire "the best engineers"

The best VPN routers of 2025

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-10-19 07:30:19

A virtual private network (VPN) is one of the best ways to encrypt your online communication, mask your IP address, circumvent censorship, and enhance your personal privacy. Many users simply download their chosen VPN's desktop or mobile software, install the app, sign in, choose a server, and go. However, you can also install your VPN on your router or purchase one with the service pre-installed. Setting up a VPN environment via your router provides blanket security and privacy coverage across

We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own

Sideloading has been a hot topic for the last decade. Most recently, Google has announced further restrictions on the practice in Android. Many hundreds of comment threads have discussed these changes over the years. One point in particular is always made: “I should be able to run whatever code I want on hardware I own”.

Why China Builds Faster Than the Rest of the World

There’s never been a shortage of hot takes about what really makes the United States and China so different: Capitalism versus socialism; democracy as opposed to authoritarianism; Christianity or Confucianism; equity versus efficiency.
