New research involving scientists from Anthropic and ETH Zurich suggests that modern artificial intelligence systems could identify the real-world identities behind supposedly anonymous internet accounts. The study, published as a preprint on arXiv, shows that large language models (LLMs) may be capable of analyzing online activity and linking pseudonymous profiles to real individuals at scale. The research, titled Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs, explores how AI agents can automate the process of deanonymization – the act of connecting anonymous or pseudonymous online accounts to real identities. Traditionally, this process required significant manual investigation by analysts who searched through posts, writing…
A $1,000 Xbox would have sounded downright absurd not long ago, but Microsoft’s next-gen system, reportedly called Project Helix, may be heading into much pricier territory. According to analysis highlighted by Moore’s Law Is Dead, early estimates place the console somewhere between $999 and $1,200, largely due to the powerful hardware it’s rumored to pack. At first glance, that price feels wild. Then again, if the performance rumors hold up, the value equation might start looking very different. If the hardware rumors hold up, this could be a beast Speaking of performance, reports suggest Project Helix could deliver six times…
A new report from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund has raised concerns about the growing use of artificial intelligence chatbots in children’s toys, warning that some of these systems may not be suitable for young users. According to the report, several AI-powered toys integrate chatbot technology that can generate responses similar to those used in adult-focused AI services, potentially exposing children to inappropriate or misleading content. The study examined a range of toys that incorporate conversational AI features, including interactive dolls, robots, and educational gadgets. Many of these products allow children to speak with a toy…
Researchers have developed a new system that uses smartphones instead of specialized motion-tracking hardware to create more realistic avatar movement in virtual reality (VR). The technology aims to reduce the need for expensive VR equipment while making immersive digital interactions more accessible to a wider range of users. The system was created by researchers who wanted to solve a long-standing challenge in virtual environments: capturing natural body movements and translating them accurately into digital avatars. Traditional VR setups often rely on dedicated motion-capture suits, cameras, or tracking sensors placed around a room. While effective, these systems can be expensive and…
TCL has unveiled a striking new gaming monitor that combines premium OLED visuals with high speed. The TCL 32X3A is a 31.5-inch 4K OLED display designed for both gamers and creators, offering a native 240Hz refresh rate while maintaining a surprisingly elegant, ultra-thin design. What immediately stands out is the monitor’s design. As reported by ITHome, TCL says the panel measures just 6.4mm at its thinnest point, making it one of the slimmest gaming monitors announced so far. The company wraps the display in a minimalist metal chassis and pairs it with a stand that houses Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers,…
Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the United States government seeking refunds for tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. The case, filed by Nintendo’s U.S. subsidiary in the U.S. Court of International Trade, argues that the company was forced to pay import duties that were later ruled unlawful. The lawsuit comes after a major court decision earlier this year determined that the tariffs had been imposed using legal authority that did not actually permit such taxes. While the ruling invalidated the duties, it didn’t clearly explain how companies that had already paid them would get their money back. Nintendo is…
For many residential pool owners, the dream of a crystal-clear oasis often clashes with the reality of manual maintenance. Traditional cleaning methods involving heavy hoses and manual scrubbing are famously time-consuming and laborious. This is where the Talosbo C1 enters the frame as a professional-grade solution designed to automate the most taxing aspects of pool ownership. As a smart pool robot engineered for both efficiency and ease of use, the Talosbo C1 aims to replace outdated equipment with a sophisticated, cordless experience. In this review, we examine how its technical parameters translate into real-world performance. Technical Superiority: Enhanced Suction and…
Hoppers has hopped its way into theaters, with Pixar giving us another animated wonder. Directed by Daniel Chong (We Bare Bears) and written by Jesse Andrews (Luca), Hoppers centers around the animal-loving Mabel (Piper Curda), who transfers her mind into a robot beaver and rallies the animals at her favorite glade to protect it from being bulldozed and turned into a freeway. While Pixar has struggled to succeed with non-sequel projects in recent years, the studio’s latest film demands to be seen. With its delightful characters, vibrant visuals, and clever writing, Hoppers delivers a fresh, funny, and thought-provoking feature for…
Samsung has been quietly cooking up smart glasses since 2023, and at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, executive vice president Jay Kim finally let some details slip to CNBC. Not everything — Samsung isn’t that generous — but enough to understand what the company is actually building. Here’s the confirmed bit: the glasses will have a camera positioned at eye level. That camera feeds what you’re looking at directly to a connected Galaxy smartphone, which handles all the processing and sends useful information back to you. The glasses are the eyes; your phone is the brain. Glasses as the eyes, phone…
A case retailer has accidentally become one of the more interesting sources of Google Pixel 11 Pro information this week. Thinborne, a Texas-based accessories brand known for its ultra-thin aramid fiber cases, has quietly listed a Pixel 11 Pro XL case on its website — and while the case itself is unremarkable, what its camera cutout suggests about the phone’s design is worth talking about. The case itself isn’t the story The case is classic Thinborne: 0.9mm thick on the back, 0.6mm on the sides, made from 600D aramid fiber, MagSafe compatible, and bundled with a tempered glass screen protector.…
