Bring on the magenta and peach. 9to5Google We are expecting to hear news about the new generation of Google’s Pixel smartphone lineup when the company hosts its next showcase event in August. But in the meantime, a possible leak has gotten us colorfully-inclined buyers pretty excited. 9to5Google, by way of sister site 9to5Toys, found three listings on Amazon that might show some new looks coming to the Pixel 11. These potential placeholders depict one smartphone in a bold magenta and another in a rosy peach hue. The publication noted that there are some convincing details in…
Summer is firmly here and the temperatures are feeling borderline apocalyptic in much of the northern hemisphere. Why not avoid the angry sun and stay inside where it’s (hopefully) cooler and distract yourself with some of the best movies on streaming right now?Your choices are notably rich too. The spring hit sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary, about the global freeze threatening Earth as a result of the sun mysteriously going out, is now on Prime Video, after winning theater audiences over with the help of an adorable pile of pebbles. If, however, you want to embrace the flames, you’ll find…
T-Mobile customers who’ve been cruising along on old phone plans are about to be migrated to the carrier’s latest plans, whether they want to move or not. And in many cases, that will mean a price hike of up to $6 per line.Some of the affected plans stretch back 10 to 15 years, including Simple Choice, T-Mobile One, One Plus and the Magenta family of plans, as well as grandfathered Sprint plans that carried over when T-Mobile and Sprint merged in 2020. A T-Mobile representative didn’t share which plans are being retired, but The Mobile Report built a spreadsheet of changes based on its…
A group of economists and tech industry figures has called on policymakers to address the risks posed by artificial intelligence more directly. The signatories outlined their concerns in a public letter published today. The initiative was organized by economics professors Erik Brynjolfsson, Ajay Agrawal, Anton Korinek and Tom Cunningham. More than half of the 200-plus other signatories to the letter are also economists, and more than a dozen are Nobel Prize laureates. The brief document calls on policymakers to “build the incentives, guardrails, and institutions needed to steer AI in a direction” that benefits humanity. The letter adds that the…
As AI agents take on increasingly complex, long-running tasks, one challenge continues to limit their capabilities: memory. While today’s large language models can process enormous amounts of context, they still struggle to decide what information is worth keeping, when to retrieve it, and how to organize knowledge over time. Researchers from Stanford University have introduced AutoMem: Automated Learning of Memory as a Cognitive Skill, a new framework that rethinks memory management as a trainable ability rather than a fixed component of an AI system. Instead of relying on manually designed memory architectures or ever-expanding context windows, AutoMem teaches language models…
Ravie LakshmananJul 13, 2026Endpoint Security / Cybercrime Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new macOS information stealer called CrashStealer that’s capable of harvesting sensitive data from compromised systems. Unlike other information stealers that are built on AppleScript droppers or Objective-C-based wrappers, CrashStealer is implemented in native C++, according to Jamf Threat Labs. “It validates the victim’s login password locally before harvesting, collects broadly across browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, password managers, and the keychain, encrypts what it collects with AES-GCM before exfiltrating over libcurl, and persists by copying and re-signing itself,” security researcher Thijs Xhaflaire said in a report shared with The Hacker…
The most expensive lie in modern B2B growth operations is the belief that human-to-human connection can be programmatically managed, optimized, and scaled. Corporate boardrooms treat the go-to-market engine like a software architecture-assuming that if you input a precise positioning statement at the top, a perfectly aligned, predictable conversation will automatically execute at the bottom. This is an illusion. The live sales call is an environment of pure entropy. It is chaotic, highly volatile, and fundamentally unpredictable. No matter how many millions an enterprise invests in defining its corporate narrative, that entire strategic apparatus is instantly at the mercy of two…
Rokarolla is a newer malware that focuses on Android devices. Unlike some malware, Rokaarolla narrows down the attacks to banking and social media apps. It’s a Trojan that has already hit around 200 crypto and banking apps on Androis and the sole goal is to steal all of the user sensitive information. Rokarolla was discovered by Zimperium, researchers in the security field, who indicated that the malware may have started to spread to devices through apps such as Tik Tok, Google, and Chrome. However, they weren’t the “real” apps, just apps designed to look like the originals. Fake apps were…
AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality. Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found…
(Augmodo Image) Augmodo, the Seattle startup that straps AI-powered cameras onto retail workers to track store shelves, has raised $21 million as it pushes its technology beyond grocery aisles and into warehouses, factories, and other physical workplaces. The new funding, led by existing investor TQ Ventures, values Augmodo at $350 million. CEO Ross Finman, who told GeekWire he wasn’t even looking to raise fresh capital, said he was motivated by interest in the startup’s technology from customers beyond retail, including automotive settings and hospitals.
