My wife found this in a store and bought it for me a joke because it says “Manly man smell like tree” on the box—which, I mean, you have to buy that. Sometimes a thing that seems like a joke turns out not to be. Like this guide. The Last Call Shampoo bar is the same way—there’s a jokey element here and it’s fun, but it’s also a great bar of soap. Or shampoo. Or whatever you want it to be, really.I’m what you might call a minimalist when it comes to all things grooming-related. I have a beard; I…
Humanity may be scrolling its way out of existence.Across the globe, fertility rates are plummeting. In 2023, the average number of births per woman worldwide fell beneath 2.1 — the minimum level necessary for averting population decline (also known as the “replacement rate”). And this collapse is not concentrated in just a handful of places; more than two-thirds of all nations now have below-replacement fertility.While this crisis has been building for decades, its nature recently changed. In the 20th century, fertility fell primarily because couples started having fewer children. Now, it is falling mostly because fewer people are forming couples…
As enterprises scale initiatives, the cost of developing, deploying and operating generative artificial intelligence models rises significantly. The shift toward AI agents can further increase costs becausse of poor architecture, limited operational maturity and weak governance.

Attackers took over more than 400 packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) this week and rewrote their build scripts to install a credential stealer on any machine that built them. The malware is a Rust binary built to harvest developer secrets. When it lands with root, it can also load an eBPF rootkit to hide itself. The AUR is Arch Linux’s community package collection, and it is separate from the official Arch repositories, which were not affected. If you installed or updated an AUR package on or after June 11, check it against the current affected-package lists before trusting…
Customers can order new joysticks, batteries, screens and more. Just because your Anbernic handheld has a broken joystick or a cracked screen doesn’t mean you have to trash it. Anbernic recently revealed a store page that’s dedicated to replacement parts for its gaming handhelds, ranging from its more recent RG Rotate to its older offerings like the RG350P. The store page has options to buy replacement shells, screens, conductive rubber pads, joysticks, batteries, motherboards and buttons for whichever handheld you’re trying to repair. Beyond ordering the specific part on the storage page, you have to specify the model and color…
Your dashboards promise a 4x ROAS, but why is revenue flat? Discover the marketing intelligence tools elite CMOs use to turn messy data into solid growth. Smaug, the great dragon of Erebor, slept on a literal mountain of gold. He knew every single coin, cup, and gem in his pile down to the exact ounce. If a thief stole just one single two-handled cup, Smaug knew it instantly. He was the ultimate data collector. But despite sitting on the largest dataset in Middle-earth, Smaug had zero understanding of why that cup mattered. He didn’t understand the logic of the people…
Computex is always chaotic, and Computex 2026 kept the same pace. This year’s show had the usual parade of powerful laptops, overbuilt gaming rigs, and the fun, if not strange, prototypes. AI was everywhere, handheld gaming got a serious power boost, and even monitor makers came ready with displays that sound like they were pulled from a wishlist. That’s why we’ve put together our Computex 2026 Publisher Awards, spotlighting the products that pushed the show forward. NVIDIA RTX Spark The most important announcement at Computex 2026 was NVIDIA RTX Spark. Yes, the AI PC label is starting to sound like…
Apple announced the upcoming iOS 27 update at its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. While the company announced that the next iOS version will be compatible with devices reaching back to the iPhone 11, the move feels underwhelming for people with older devices, thanks to one wrinkle.WWDC was focused on the integration of AI into Apple’s digital assistant Siri. The company spent about 25 minutes on platform improvements and privacy combined, then almost double that on Siri and Apple Intelligence. And while Apple said the digital assistant can help you in more areas on your iPhone, it didn’t expand on…
Dyson’s vacuum lineup had a new look planned for this year. Some of the vacuums have already arrived, like the Dyson PencilVac and Dyson Spot+Scrub robot vacuum, but others we’ve still been waiting to see.

Anthropic said on Friday it will “abruptly disable” its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for all users after the U.S. government ordered it to suspend access to the models for foreign nationals, whether inside or outside the U.S., citing national security concerns. The AI company said it received an order at 5:21 p.m. ET, instructing it to suspend all access to the models by foreign nationals. It said that it believed there was a “misunderstanding” and that it is working to restore access to the models as soon as possible. Access to other…
