Bill Gates, shown here in April 2025, released a memo this week warning that the world isn’t ready for AI. (GeekWire Photo / Kevin Lisota) This week on the GeekWire Podcast: Bill Gates published a new essay warning that the AI industry is crossing the safety lines it set for itself, and that nobody is preparing for what’s coming. At age 70, he also uses AI more than most people half his age, and he finds it enthralling, as you’ll hear on this week’s show, with highlights from our interview with him. Along the way, we dig into his three…
Ravie LakshmananAug 30, 2026Social Engineering / Malware Microsoft has disclosed details of a new ClickFix variant, dubbed TerminalFix, that aims to trick users into running a malicious command in Windows Terminal or PowerShell. “While traditional ClickFix campaigns direct victims to the Windows Run dialog, TerminalFix campaigns apply the same technique but direct users to Windows Terminal or PowerShell instead, increasing the likelihood that complex, multi-line scripts execute successfully,” Microsoft security researchers Sagar Patil, Suriyaraj Natarajan, and Parasharan Raghavan said in an analysis published this week. The campaign, targeting organizations across multiple sectors, leverages compromised websites as a starting point to…
Apart from the new chipset, the camera upgrades, and Gemini Intelligence, the Pixel 11 Pro shipped with something that turned a lot of heads, in enthusiasm no less: the RGB light module on the back called HiLight. Before Google announced the feature, I was actually excited about it, thinking about all the potential use cases; the light could have been a subtle notification queue for users, one that doesn’t compel them to unlock the phone right away. However, Google tied the hardware to two use cases: Gemini interactions and calls from favorite contacts. Shikhar Mehrotra / Digital Trends That is exactly…
My mom was excited and confused when she opened her Apple Watch at Christmas a few years ago. “What a nice gift!” A pause. “What am I supposed to do with this?” We told her the truth: A smartwatch can do all kinds of useful things.Fitness tracking became the thing my mom latched onto. She loved counting her steps and seeing how many miles she walked in a day. It motivated her to become more active, too. We didn’t tell her until much later that the Apple Watch’s fall detection feature was the real reason we got her the watch.…
Every security team has a version of the same nightmare: an employee receives a message that looks and sounds exactly like it came from the boss — and then acts on it. No matter how much training a company provides, something eventually slips through the cracks, leaving the IT department scrambling. This underscores the importance of preparedness across the threat lifecycle. During a recent webinar sponsored by Doppel and hosted by its chief strategy officer, Bobby Ford, two NFL technology leaders, Costa Kladianos, EVP and head of technology for the San Francisco 49ers, and Christina Morillo, senior director and head…
Noise canceling is also top-tier. The buds have the standard noise cancellation, transparency, adaptive, and off modes, and you can fine-tune ANC strength (from one to five) using the case or Soundcore app. The only earbuds that noticeably canceled more noise were the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) and Sony WF-1000XM6.Video: Harry RabinowitzVideo: Harry RabinowitzOut of the box, the sound profile (called Soundcore Signature) isn’t an immediate slam dunk like call quality and ANC are. It’s bass-heavy, so much so that I would bet even an untrained ear would notice the bass boost, especially compared to other earbuds from…
Chances are there’s a connection issue between your phone and car if Android auto isn’t working.

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.’s most recent earnings print shows that Anthropic PBC’s Mythos model transformed artificial intelligence security from something chief information security officers needed to worry about down the road into an immediate buying event. The company’s entrenched position in endpoint – along with its single lightweight agent, proprietary intelligence and a rapidly expanding portfolio of modules – have converted Mythos urgency into record new logo momentum, record net new annual recurring revenue and what we see as a likely a compressed timeframe to hit $10 billion ARR (a target CrowdStrike set for FY 2031 at last year’s investor day). Falcon Flex is one…
For more than a decade, Apple has, for the most part, released all the phones in its latest iPhone lineup at the same time. For the iPhone 18, though, it’s rumored to be different. Apple may split the launch of the latest iPhones, staggering a handful of devices for release in spring next year, while the more premium iPhone Pro and the much-anticipated rumored foldable iPhone Ultra will debut in September, according to Bloomberg. The new iPhones will reportedly ship with smaller dynamic islands, and the cameras may feature a variable aperture — a total geek win for photography enthusiasts.…
