Before the age of one, KJ Muldoon had already made medical history. He was the first person to receive a gene editing therapy specifically designed for him. KJ was born with a deadly gene mutation. His body couldn’t remove ammonia, a byproduct of eating protein. The illness eventually leads to serious brain injury. Roughly half of infants with the disease don’t survive, and those who do suffer severe debilitation and often require liver transplants.The disease stems from a single mutated DNA letter that prevents the body from making a working enzyme. The clock ticking, teams of scientists developed a gene…

Aamir Siddiqui / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google is rolling out Android RCS Archival on Pixel phones, allowing employers to intercept and archive RCS chats on work-managed devices. In simpler terms, your employer will now be able to read your RCS chats in Google Messages despite end-to-end encryption. Encryption will still work when messages are traveling between devices, but employers will be able to use common archival apps to keep a record of RCS messages for legal and compliance purposes. Google is rolling out a new RCS message archival feature for fully managed Pixel phones. The system is designed to help companies…

Writer, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup, is launching a unified AI agent platform designed to let any employee automate complex business workflows without writing code — a capability the company says distinguishes it from consumer-oriented tools like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT.The platform, called Writer Agent, combines chat-based assistance with autonomous task execution in a single interface. Starting Tuesday, enterprise customers can use natural language to instruct the AI to create presentations, analyze financial data, generate marketing campaigns, or coordinate across multiple business systems like Salesforce, Slack, and Google Workspace—then save those workflows as reusable "Playbooks" that run automatically on…

Source: Getty Images We are not advocates of executing people in cruel and unusual ways here on Futurism, but we have to admit we are intrigued by this astronomer’s proposal of launching bad people into the Sun. Of course, as the associate professor of astronomy at Monash University Michael JI Brown explains: the concept “sounds easy enough,” but “may be harder than you think.” And the reasons why are fascinating — at least from a perspective of physics, rather than criminal justice. First, the rocket carrying our hypothetical villain deserving of a dramatic demise…

The iQOO 15 became official last month, and back in August we heard that it would eventually be joined by an iQOO 15 Mini device, which was supposed to have a 6.3″ flat screen with average bezel size and an embedded ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. There would also be a 7,000 mAh battery keeping the lights on. That all sounds pretty nice, but according to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, iQOO has ceased development of the iQOO 15 Mini. If this pans out, then the iQOO 15 is only going to be joined by the iQOO 15 Ultra (which may be…

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.It’s happened again: one of the internet’s backbone providers, Cloudflare, has gone offline, taking swathes of important websites with it. It’s similar to the Amazon Web Services outage in October 2025 that took down what felt like half of the internet, stopping internet users from accessing Snapchat, Disney+, Venmo, and Canva, among scores of other sites. This time, it’s Cloudflare’s turn, with hundreds of sites suddenly triggering alerts and Downdetector noticing huge upticks on its outage monitoring service.…

Task Manager is one of the oldest and most important parts of Microsoft’s Windows operating system. First debuting in 1995’s release of Windows NT 4.0, Task Manager has, over the years, evolved into a powerful tool for monitoring PC stats in real time. With Windows 8 in 2012, the feature was massively improved upon with new additions and better data organization, and, as of Windows 11 version 22H2, it has been beautified with a modern design language, dark mode and accent color theming, and other enhancements. For the average Windows PC user, Task Manager might appear daunting on the surface,…
