Interestingly, the move is in anticipation of similar cuts OpenAI expects from Anthropic. So whichever AI service you use, your bills should get smaller. Why is OpenAI suddenly feeling generous?

If you pre-ordered the Framework Laptop 13 Pro and were expecting it in June or July, I have some bad news. Framework has emailed customers announcing that shipments are being pushed back by about a month. According to the email, posted by a Reddit user, the first-batch shipments are moving from late June to late July, with some units possibly slipping into early August.

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have figured out how to brew espresso-strength coffee without heating any water. The method replaces hot water and high pressure with ultrasonic sound waves, and in blind taste tests involving 100 regular coffee drinkers, participants could not tell the two apart. How it works Dr. Francisco Trujillo and his team at UNSW’s School of Chemical Engineering converted a traditional espresso machine filter basket into an ultrasonic reactor. A transducer attached to the side of the basket generates high-frequency sound waves that vibrate through the coffee grounds and water simultaneously. Those vibrations trigger acoustic cavitation, a process…
If you have been holding off on getting a Kindle Scribe because of the price, Amazon just gave you a reason to reconsider. The Kindle Scribe without Front Light is now available for purchase on Amazon for $429.99, making it $70 cheaper than the standard Kindle Scribe. Amazon first announced this model back in 2025, and it has finally arrived. However, the one catch is right there in the name. There is no front light, which means reading or writing in dim environments will be trickier than on the pricier model. What does Kindle Scribe without Front Light offer? This…

Puzzle-driven games can walk a thin line: too easy, and surmounting the challenge doesn’t feel rewarding; too difficult, and players might just look up answers or walk away. The first Escape Academy navigated this balance well, but with the follow-up, Coin Crew Games has to balance that tightrope walk in a much larger world.Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School returns to the titular school, where students’ courses in Arts, Sciences, and more are layered in intricate puzzles and, sometimes, deadly escape rooms. Where Back 2 School expands the scope is in its open-campus approach: players can roam the grounds, with access…

What happens when you take the party staple into single-player territory, though?While we’ve got the likes of Gnosia and Raging Loop, Among Us Story: On Guard offers a tonally different take on the social deduction genre. In my demo at Summer Game Fest 2026, I got to sit down (literally) with a Switch 2 and see how Innersloth was tackling an Among Us murder mystery. Though the setting is still very…
As artificial intelligence becomes a go-to tool for everything from homework to workplace research, many people are also turning to chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok to verify whether news stories are true. But new research suggests that habit could actually make people worse at spotting misinformation over time. A new study from the MIT Media Lab found that relying on AI to determine whether news is accurate can weaken a person’s ability to independently identify fake or misleading content. Researchers compared the effect to GPS navigation systems, which make travel easier but can gradually reduce a person’s natural…
