The downsides of switching from iPhone to Android
There are some things to consider before you take the leap. I've been an Android user my entire life, starting out with a Samsung Galaxy Ace, then sticking mostly with OnePlus phones thanks to their excellent value for money. I finally made the big switch to iOS with the iPhone 15 Pro Max — driving it through three iterations of the OS before jumping back to Android with the OnePlus 15. As premium as…

The AI safety test is becoming a safety risk
Over the past few months, AI agents undergoing cybersecurity evaluations have escaped their boundaries, accessed the internet, and, in some cases, hacked into real-world systems. The incidents have involved models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and most recently, Chinese AI lab Moonshot AI, with testing conducted by several different organizations including a cyber evaluation startup called Irregular. The episodes expose a growing problem for the AI industry: As autonomous agents become more capable, the environments…

Apple Upgrade plan to preload your data nixed over privacy optics
Apple reportedly evaluated giving Apple Upgrade buyers with iPhones that came with all their previous iPhone's data preloaded, but that didn't make the final cut. Apple Upgrade is a lease in the US rather than a loan and so it's different to the iPhone Upgrade Program it replaces, but it could have been more different still. According to Bloomberg, Apple at least considered preloading a user's data. It's been described as a "white-glove component"…

This scrapped Apple Upgrade feature would’ve made setup much more seamless
The concept was simple: if people are going to be upgrading their device every so often with fixed monthly payments, why not make the switch as easy as possible? Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the following: I’ve now learned there was more discussed when this idea was conceived years ago. Apple had contemplated a so-called white-glove component, where your new device each year would arrive at home ready to go, preloaded with all of your…

RAM shortages now affecting MacBook Air availability
Apple's Mac lineup has seen dwindling supply in recent months due to more expensive and hard-to-get RAM, and now even the MacBook Air is seeing available stock dwindle. The MacBook Air is Apple's most popular laptop by far, even if the MacBook Neo is seeking to usurp that spot. Up until recently, it has remained relatively easy to find in all configurations, but that is no longer true. These problems are set to continue…

This ‘adversarial’ pattern can prevent surveillance cameras from detecting you
Bill Swearingen has spent the past year running largely the same test, over and over again. The goal was to produce a computer-generated pattern that could block the surveillance cameras lining America’s streets from detecting it. Some 31 million tests later, Swearingen says he can now produce patterns on-demand that, when applied to clothing and objects, prevent some of the most commonly deployed license plate readers and surveillance cameras from detecting whatever the pattern…

Hands-on: This modular controller slides open to transform your iPhone into a mobile game console [Video]
I first saw the Ohsnap MCON controller at CES last year, and I immediately fell in love with the concept. The idea was simple: give people a full-featured mobile controller that attaches to your phone via Magsafe, slides open when ready to use, and collapses into something compact that can go with you anywhere. Over the last two weeks, I have put it through its paces. I have tossed it around, pressed the launch…

SpaceX vient de frapper la Lune : un étage de Falcon 9 s’écrase et creuse un énorme cratère
Notre satellite naturel vient d’être « visé » par un débris de 4 tonnes. Il s’agit d’un étage de fusée Falcon 9 de SpaceX, dont l’impact a été photographié par une sonde sud-coréenne. Au premier abord, la Lune est l’un des endroits les plus calmes que nous connaissons. Dépourvu d’atmosphère épaisse et donc de tempêtes, notre satellite naturel semble calme, très calme. Et pourtant, celui-ci est régulièrement bombardé par des bolides spatiaux de toutes…

The pros and cons of the switch to digital games
While the gaming industry isn't all-digital yet, it's been heading in that direction for a while. Sony's recently announced plans to discontinue PlayStation discs in 2028 are the latest step in this shift. In the last several years, we've also seen the PS5 Pro require a separate purchase for a disc drive, the Xbox Series S lacking disc support and Nintendo Switch 2 game-key cards that don't contain any actual data.
