Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The extracted flesh of the dead being used to fulfill the youth-chasing vanities of the living? That’s the crux of alloClae, an injectable filler sold by Tiger Aesthetics that’s made from the sterilized fat tissue of corpses. Despite the product’s grim provenance, it’s become the hot new thing in cosmetics, since it can be quickly injected without anesthetic. New York health regulators, however, aren’t very happy about its growing popularity. As Business Insider reports, the state’s health body is accusing Tiger of selling…

Imagine telling ChatGPT to reorder your paper towels or find the best wireless headphones in your budget, and it just handles the purchase without you lifting a finger. That is exactly what OpenAI and Visa are now building toward. The two companies announced a strategic partnership at the Visa Payments Forum, with plans to bring Visa’s global payment infrastructure directly into OpenAI’s AI agent experiences, including ChatGPT and the Atlas browser. How will ChatGPT’s payment system work? The partnership is part of Visa’s broader Intelligent Commerce initiative, which is designed to extend secure payment capabilities into new digital spaces. When…

Gaming is a common use for personal laptops. If you have a good number of resources and a good system configuration, you can play a lot of games and pass the time on your laptop. If the system configuration does not match the required configuration, or if resources are used by another process or program in the background, it is common to see games lag or other related issues. However, some users are seeing their Windows laptop hibernate when gaming. This is not a common issue, and it needs to be fixed immediately to play games without issues and unlock…

Last November, YouTube started experimenting with a feature that would allow users to have conversations with others within its mobile app, but it was only available in Ireland and Poland. The feature was rolled out in some European countries in March, and it’s now expanding to more global markets, including the US, the UK, Brazil, and Singapore. You can click here to check the list of countries where it’s available. In addition to in-app messaging, this feature also lets YouTube users share videos (long-form, Shorts, and live streams). To use the in-app video sharing and messaging feature, you must be…

Security researcher Nightmare Eclipse has released a new Windows BitLocker bypass, only one day after publishing an exploit targeting Microsoft Defender. Named GreatXML, the fresh exploit allows users to bypass BitLocker and spawn a command prompt with SYSTEM privileges while in Recovery Mode. The proof-of-concept (PoC) code the researcher released targets a vulnerability in Microsoft Defender’s offline scan functionality. According to Nightmare Eclipse, all systems on which an offline scan was initiated at least once automatically become vulnerable. The PoC exploit includes an XML file and a Recovery folder (containing another XML) that need to be copied to the root…

SpaceX was going to launch about 5,000 to 8,000 Version 3 communications satellites in 2027 and then another 20,000 Version 3 communication satellites in 2028. This was the old plan until it was confirmed that AI data centers in space would work and would be easier to build. They are raising $75 billion or may $85 billion from the IPO and they will speed up launch plans and satellite build. They will sacrifice and slightly slowdown deployment of V3 communication (high speed internet) and direct to cellphone communications. https://t.co/OiqKPMftkH — nextbigfuture (@nextbigfuture) June 11, 2026 Adding 5,000 V3 satellites is…

With the Pova 7, Tecno took a page out of Nothing’s book with the Delta Light Interface, a triangular strip of light with 104 LEDs. Now the company is going to the next level with the Alive Matrix Display. This is a small dot-matrix display in the third “lens” of the camera island (there’s only one actual camera on there, despite appearances). The new Tecno Pova 8 is an upgrade over the Pova 7 in some respects, but a downgrade in others. It has a larger 8,000mAh battery (up from 6,000mAh). TÜV SÜD has tested the phone and found that…

I’m a handheld gaming PC connoisseur — I currently own a Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, and I’m already planning my next upgrade. It’s no secret that now isn’t the best time to buy into the PC gaming handheld market. The global RAM shortage is driving the cost of component pricing upwards, and those price hikes eventually hit consumers. Handhelds appear to be particularly vulnerable, as Lenovo’s base-model Legion Go 2 recently climbed 36% in price. The Steam Deck went out of stock due to market conditions, and now that it’s back, the handheld costs hundreds…

TL;DR DiffusionGemma writes a whole chunk of text in one go and then keeps polishing it rather than building it word by word. Google says it can be up to 4x faster, hitting 1,000+ tokens per second on NVIDIA H100 and around 700 on an RTX 5090, thanks to parallel processing. Output quality is still inferior to Gemma 4, so it’s more of an experimental tool than a finished product. Google has released DiffusionGemma, an experimental AI model that takes a very different approach to how most chatbots generate text today. Instead of writing one word after another in a…

Cybersecurity startup Aryon Security today announced raising $29 million in Series A funding. To date, the company has received $38 million in funding. The fresh investment round was led by Brightmind Partners, with additional support from Datadog Ventures, Skinos Ventures, and previous backers Blumberg Capital and Viola Ventures. Founded by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) cybersecurity veterans, Tel Aviv-based Aryon emerged from stealth in March 2025 to help organizations enforce security controls across their environments. A technology-agnostic product, the solution provides proactive protections, scanning assets for security misconfigurations and enforcing organization-defined policies where necessary. In the post Mythos-era, where AI accelerates…
