Apple’s AirPlay feature enables iPhones and MacBooks to seamlessly play music or show photos and videos on other Apple devices or third-party speakers and TVs that integrate the protocol. Now newly uncovered security flaws in AirPlay mean that those same wireless connections could allow hackers to move within a network just as easily, spreading malicious…
President Donald J. Trump recently signed an executive order to bring AI into K–12 education to boost literacy around the technology and create a new White House task force to lead the effort. The task force plans to form public-private partnerships with AI experts to develop online resources for K-12 AI literacy and critical thinking…
I can still remember the first time I attended a press launch for a professional Mac – the January 1999 introduction of the Blue and White Power Mac G3, which Apple wanted the world to believe was faster than Intel PCs of similar clock speed. Today, Apple’s new professional Mac Studio absolutely devours any other…

OpenAI announced on April 10 that GPT-4 will be “fully replaced” by GPT-4o in ChatGPT at the end of April, bringing a public-facing end to the model that accelerated a global AI race when it launched in March…

I’m not talking about smaller screwups like the brain-dead Clippy, Microsoft’s intrusive Office helper from 1995. Instead, I’m looking at the ones with major consequences that in some cases set Microsoft back…
Hey — have ya heard? Google’s got a simple-sounding but supremely useful new trick in the works for its homemade Pixel phones. Under-development code spotted in the latest Android beta reveals plans for adding a new double-tap gesture into future Pixel devices. It may or may not make the cut for the upcoming Android 16…
Intel’s oddball Core Ultra 200V laptop chips—codenamed Lunar Lake—will apparently be a one-off experiment, not to be replicated in future Intel laptop chips. They’re Intel’s only processors with memory integrated onto the CPU package; the only ones with a neural processing unit that meets Microsoft’s Copilot+ performance requirements; and the only ones with Intel’s best-performing…
One of the best Epic picks in Cookie Run Kingdom, Linzer Cookie, shines as a universal support capable of pairing a great set of team-wide CRIT-related buffs with a game-changing series of debuffs. However, just like you need all the clues for a spot-on deduction, investing in the right build is a must when looking…
This morning, Punchbowl News reported that Amazon was considering listing the cost of tariffs as a separate line item on its site, citing “a person familiar with the plan.” Amazon later acknowledged that there had been internal discussions to that effect but only for its import-focused Amazon Haul sub-store and that the company didn’t plan…
