As carbon emissions continue to rise there’s growing recognition we need to find ways to reverse them. Researchers have now created an air filter that passively captures CO2 from building ventilation systems, offering a low-cost alternative to energy-hungry carbon-capture plants.The idea of pulling carbon out of the atmosphere to help solve climate change has long been resisted by climate activists, who worry it could be an excuse to take less drastic action.But with the pace of reductions still well below what’s required to avert the worst impacts of a warming climate, even bodies like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change…

Privacy-focused messaging app Signal announced on Monday that it’s introducing a feature that allows users to back up their text conversations for free, along with the last 45 days of media. It’s also debuting its first paid feature by offering full media backups with up to 100GB of storage. Historically, the messaging app didn’t let users store any kind of backup of your conversations on the platform. This could be especially troublesome if you lost or broke your phone. While you could transfer conversations from one phone to another, there was no cloud backup in place. The new feature finally…

If you’ve marked 2026 as the year Apple will finally release its highly anticipated foldable iPhone in your calendar, you may need to cross it out. A recent report suggests that the launch could be delayed. According to The Elec, citing a report from Japan’s Mizuho Securities, the release of Apple’s first foldable iPhone might be pushed back to 2027, due to Apple taking longer to finalize certain design elements of the phone, such as the hinge and other “key specifications.” Since Apple is still mulling over the final design choices for the phone, the report indicates that this could…

Hoping to attract more enterprise teams to its ecosystem, Adobe launched a new model customization service called Adobe AI Foundry, which would create bespoke versions of its flagship AI model, Firefly.Adobe AI Foundry will work with enterprise customers to rearchitect and retrain Firefly models specific to the client. AI Foundry version models are different from custom Firefly models in that Foundry models understand multiple concepts compared to custom models with only a single concept. These models will also be multimodal, offering a wider use case than custom Firefly models, which can only ingest and respond with images. Adobe AI Foundry models,…

Are you tired of dreaming of a vacation that never seems to come, amidst a stagnating economy where all the wealth seems to line the pockets of a few powerful billionaires? Not to worry — thanks to rapid advances in technology, you can travel from the skyscrapers of New York City to the canals of Amsterdam and be back home in time for instant ramen.…

Razer brings a new wave of nostalgia to its popular Phantom lineup with the debut of the Phantom White edition – a refined, translucent lineup that gives a modest nod to the retro accessories of yesteryear.   The new Phantom White series has a semi-transparent white finish that blends precision engineering, colour-coordinated internals, and Razer Chroma RGB integration. It honestly feels like its straight out of the 90s and I’m down for it. There are no new devices in this range, but if you’re a fan of the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro mouse, Firefly V2 Pro mouse mate, BlackWidow V4…

Data is the cornerstone of enterprise AI success, yet enterprise AI initiatives often hit an unexpected infrastructure wall: getting clean, reliable data from the web. For the last two decades, web scrapers have helped with the challenges of getting web data. Web scrapers, which extract content from websites automatically, worked fine in the pre-AI era when humans processed messy HTML output. However, gen AI systems demand data in specific formats with consistent reliability at enterprise scale. Traditional scrapers that output raw HTML, broken links and inconsistent formatting create cascading failures in AI pipelines. When an AI agent can't reliably access current…
