According to a report by The Information, Anthropic and Samsung are in the early stages of negotiating a deal in which the Korean tech giant will be tasked with manufacturing Anthropic’s custom AI chips. It seems like the demand for semiconductors as a whole, mainly fueled by the rise of AI, has forced many companies to look beyond TSMC for chip suppliers. Right before the AI boom, Samsung and Intel were having trouble with their chip businesses, but the latest developments in the industry have been favorable for the two companies. So much so that Apple is once again considering…
Medical technology giant Medtronic is notifying more than 3.8 million individuals that their personal and medical information was compromised in a recent data breach. The incident occurred in April 2026, when the infamous extortion group ShinyHunters accessed the company’s corporate IT systems. Medtronic confirmed the attack in late April, noting that its products and manufacturing and distribution operations were not affected. ShinyHunters had added the company to its Tor-based leak site on April 17, claiming the theft of over 9 million records of personal information, and terabytes of corporate data. The group has since removed Medtronic from the website, which…
Vasily Belokurov is one of three winners of the 2026 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics. The award is for uncovering fossil evidence of past galactic mergers that prove how the Milky Way evolved.No matter the time or vantage point, from a pre-Neolithic cave to a post-lockdown London high-rise, the predictability of the night sky has always been humanity’s symbol of permanence and reassuring stability.Yet this apparent calm is deceptive. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, emerged from chaos and turbulence, and its constellations are full of migrants, exiles and survivors. Right now, it has begun to stretch and distort again, pulled by…
For quite a while now we’ve been hearing rumors about an upcoming pair of AirPods that will have cameras for Siri – these were even rumored to be part of Apple’s newfound Ultra naming scheme, so they’d go by AirPods Ultra. Now, however, a tipster over on X claims that Apple has suspended the development of these earbuds, which, according to the most recent rumor, were supposed to be coming in late 2027. AirPods Pro 3 Even if their development is suspended right now, they could still make that time frame – it probably won’t take long for development to…
Samsung’s One UI doesn’t do subtlety. It gives you an endless array of grids, folders, widgets, and edge panels—enough toggles to make setting up a clean home screen a project in itself. I like that flexibility, but my home screen had become a tiny shopping mall of icons and good intentions. So I installed Niagara Launcher on my Samsung phone, mostly to see why Android minimalists keep recommending it. After a few days, I understood the appeal. Niagara did not make my phone more exciting. It made it boring and that was exactly what I needed. Related One UI 9…
Amazon has dropped the SHOKZ OpenDots ONE to $139.95, down from its $199.95 RRP. That saves you $60, a 30% discount off the recommended retail price, and it brings these open-ear earbuds back to last week’s record-low Prime Day price. But this is a Lightning Deal on Amazon, so it’s probably only going to last a matter of hours. This price is only available on the red colorway, so it’s the one to grab if you want the biggest savings right now. The OpenDots ONE stands out from regular earbuds because of its clip-on, open-ear design. That makes it a…

Keychron G5 reviewThe Keychron G5 is a small and lightweight symmetrical gaming mouse designed for both work and play.It sports a gamer-centric design, with nondescript patterns embossed all over the unit. I can’t say I found these appealing, looking dated as they did, but at least they’re reasonably discreet, given they’re close to the same shade of black as the base color. Their texture feels good in the hand,…
If you’re still using the free ad-based version of YouTube, you’ve probably noticed that Google is hellbent on getting you to pay for YouTube Premium. Sometimes this pressure is blatant, coming in the promotional pop-ups. Typically, though, the company seems to be counting on just how terrible the ad experience has become. Even a 15-minute video might have two commercial breaks, and if you’re trying to watch a how-to clip for tech support or home repair, the ads might last longer than the video itself. When pitching Premium, Google tries to sell it as a major upgrade, bringing a host…
