I’ve always assumed Chrome’s endless update notifications were just routine housekeeping with a batch of actually useful features every now and then. Turns out some of them are patching bugs that have been quietly sitting in the browser’s code for over a decade. So how exactly is AI catching these bugs? Google has built an AI agent powered by its in-house AI model, Gemini. Its entire purpose is to scan Chrome’s entire codebase for vulnerabilities, and it’s already proven itself. Among the other fixes, one catch stood out. It was a sandbox escape bug that let a compromised part of…
Industrial UV printers are known for their ability to create durable, vibrant prints on various materials like glass, wood, metal, and more. UV printers are often used for direct printing on items such as bottles, pens, phone cases, custom signs, and more. As other forms of fabrication technology have become available in smaller formats, manufacturers have also begun exploring how UV printing might be adapted for studios, workshops, and other creative environments. Morpho is one company entering this developing desktop category. The founder of Morpho, Mingyu (Brett) Wang, was helping his daughter with a school project and wanted to create…
It’s becoming increasingly common to see deceased actors, musicians, and the like recreated digitally for hologram concerts, movies, video games, and more. There is a wide range of ways studios and creators approach doing so. Using generative AI (for image and voice) is absolutely the worst way to go about it, as it’s a disgrace to both the deceased and the living; there are also digital recreations made by artists, which is less disgraceful, I guess, but still murky waters – look no further than Ryu Ga Gotaku Studio’s use of deceased West Coast hip hop artist Tupac in Stranger Than…
For years, the idea of an electric Mazda MX-5 Miata felt almost impossible. The little roadster has always been celebrated for one thing above everything else: keeping things light. Add a heavy battery pack into the equation, and many enthusiasts assumed the Miata’s trademark driving character would disappear along with it. Mazda, however, appears to have changed its mind. In an interview with German publication auto motor und sport, Mazda CEO Masahiro Moro confirmed that the next-generation MX-5 is being developed with the possibility of an all-electric version in mind. It doesn’t mean the iconic roadster is abandoning gasoline anytime soon.…
DJI has now given the Osmo Pocket 4P a wider global release after initially limiting its most capable pocket camera to China. It is now available across the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia, but the US remains missing from the list. The Standard Combo starts at £529 or €599 and includes the camera, a fill light, carrying pouch, and a handle with a tripod thread. In Canada, DJI lists the same bundle at US$619, as prices on its Canadian storefront are displayed in US dollars. The Vlog Combo costs £605, €689, or US$669 in Canada and adds a Mic Mini…
Stupid Never Dies, an upcoming pop-punk action RPG by a team of former Capcom veterans, has a release date. Look for the wacky supernatural adventure on October 21. First revealed last December during The Game Awards 2025, Stupid Never Dies is a single-player, third-person action game starring Davy, an extremely weak and timid zombie on the bottom rung of the monster hierarchy. After falling in love with a human college girl named Julia, who was frozen to death during a war, he embarks on a quest to revive her by defeating KOM, the King of Monsters, and gaining his power. To save…
Think about how many online accounts you use in a typical week. Between work, banking, shopping, streaming, social media, and everything in between, it’s easy to end up managing dozens of passwords. Remembering a different, secure password for every account simply isn’t realistic, which is why so many people fall back on reusing the same login across multiple websites. That’s a recipe for disaster, if you ask any cybersecurity expert. If you’re in a conundrum on how to safely handle digital privacy, password managers are a reliable solution. Rather than trying to remember every single password yourself, a credentials manager…
When you ask an AI shopping assistant to help you find products, you probably expect it to point out misleading listings too. According to a new study, both Amazon and Walmart’s AI tools can detect fake “Made in USA” claims. However, the study claims that retailers are not using those capabilities to flag or remove the misleading listings, even when the AI recognizes conflicting information on the same product page. How did the researchers catch this fraud? According to Reuters, researchers at Columbia Law School’s Center for Law and the Economy tested Amazon’s Alexa for Shopping and Walmart’s Sparky chatbot…
2017’s Thimbleweed Park was a successful throwback to the LucasArts point-and-click adventures of yesteryear helmed by Manic Mansion co-creators Gary Winnick and Ron Gilbert (the latter of whom also created the Monkey Island series). Nine years later, the team at Terrible Toybox has announced a sequel.Thimbleweed Park 2 once again stars Agents Ray and Reyes, who take on a murder mystery at the Edmund Mansion. In true “whodunit” fashion, each of the mansion’s quirky occupants is a suspect, and it’s up to you to investigate each person to deduce the culprit. Returning characters from the first game include Delores and…
Windows all-in-one desktops have never really been known for turning heads. They’ve traditionally been practical machines that blend into an office, while Apple’s iMac has spent years proving that a desktop can double as a piece of home decor. That might finally be changing. Newly leaked images obtained by Windows Latest suggest Lenovo is preparing a redesigned IdeaCentre all-in-one that ditches the usual sea of black and silver in favor of several colorful finishes. While Lenovo hasn’t officially announced the machine yet, the images paint a picture of a desktop that seems perfectly happy borrowing a page from Apple’s playbook…
