Motorola’s Razr Ultra and the Marshall Emberton II top this week’s best deals

If you’ve been thinking about buying a foldable phone that truly stands out, few models can rival the 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra, which is currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy with 16GB of RAM and 512GB starting at $999.99 ($300 off), its lowest price to date.If you can’t tell from the image below, Razr’s latest handset boasts a unique wood grain back panel, which makes it one of the best-looking phones you can buy. It’s not just about looks, though; the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset makes it incredibly fast, and it still manages to last a full day on a single charge. It also features two displays, specifically a 7-inch 1224p inner display that unfolds and a 4-inch 1080p outer screen that’s perfect for checking notifications. It even features a dedicated AI button for accessing notificat...

Hackers weaponized ChatGPT to steal Gmail data with ShadowLeak attack

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A new cybersecurity warning reveals how hackers briefly weaponized ChatGPT's Deep Research tool. The attack, called ShadowLeak, allowed them to steal Gmail data through a single invisible prompt: no clicks, no downloads and no user action required.Researchers at Radware discovered the zero-click vulnerability in June 2025. OpenAI patched it in early August after being notified, but experts warn that similar flaws could reappear as artificial intelligence (AI) integrations expand across popular platforms like Gmail, Dropbox and SharePoint.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

TiVo won the court battles, but lost the TV war

In the 2000s, TiVo reached heights few companies ever achieve. Like Google and Xerox, its name became a verb. People had to “TiVo” the new episode of Battlestar Galactica or game 4 of the Red Sox vs. Cardinals, not “record” it. While it didn’t invent the DVR, TiVo popularized it and many of the features we would eventually take for granted, like the ability to pause or rewind live TV, and watch one program while recording another.Those features were covered in the now infamous US Patent 6,233,389 — better known as the Time Warp patent. TiVo spent a good chunk of the 2000s and early 2010s defending its intellectual property through a series of high-profile lawsuits, most notably against EchoStar. That particular saga lasted for the better part of a decade, with TiVo originally filing the...

8BitDo’s new collection celebrates the NES’s 40th anniversary

The updates made to the N40 version of 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 controller are mostly cosmetic, but it now features a black-and-gray design with bright red buttons and a charging dock that matches the aesthetics of the NES console. The controller will also include four swappable joystick caps while its grips are printed with dates that correlate to launches of notable Nintendo and 8BitDo products.Functionality is the same as the original version of the Ultimate 2, including the TMR joysticks, Hall effect triggers, a ring of color-changing LEDs around the base of each joystick, reprogrammable bumper buttons, an extra pair of buttons on the back, and compatibility with the Switch, Switch 2, and Windows devices. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller - N40 is available for preorder starting...

Pokémon Legends: Z-A makes a big, welcome change for shiny hunters

Pokémon Legends: Z-A hadn’t been out even a few hours before the tweets started rolling in: Shiny pokémon don’t despawn. You can walk away from a shiny, and it’ll still be there when you come back.To shiny collectors, this is big news. In other Pokémon games, like Scarlet and Violet, pokémon despawn after you get a certain distance away from them or trigger a loading screen. I’ve missed out on my fair share of shiny pokémon this way, my heart sinking as I spotted them right before they disappeared forever.You can still miss out on shiny pokémon in Z-A, but we’ll get to that in a bit.I first discovered the new spawning mechanics myself. I heard the sparkly sound effect that signals a shiny, spotted an oddly colored Swirlix on top of a roof, and realized I had no way to get up to that roo...

Easy Delivery Co. review: a cozy, Lynchian dream

I have been a fan of David Lynch ever since a friend’s older brother interrupted a 13th birthday celebration to insist we all watch Eraserhead. In the realm of horror movies, it’s a common way to be introduced to a seminal film: be it in a friend’s basement, illicit underage viewings, or a stray recommendation from a pot-smoking sibling. It feels apt, then, that my first introduction to Easy Delivery Co. was a friend insisting I drop everything because a game exists that lets you play as a cat driving a kei truck.I admit, those two things don’t immediately correlate. But it’s clear that Lynch, particularly Twin Peaks, was a major influence for developer Sam Cameron, in what the Steam description explains is “a relaxing driving game, with definitely no secrets.”Easy Delivery Co. starts y...

The future I saw through the Meta Ray-Ban Display amazes and terrifies me

Outside a florist-cum-coffee shop in upstate New York, a row of vintage cars gleam in the sun. It’s unseasonably warm for early October, so there’s a veritable crowd of car enthusiasts snapping photos of Ferraris, Porsches, and a vintage Alfa Romeo. Patient girlfriends and wives roll their eyes, sipping on maple matcha lattes and eating pumpkin spice donuts.At my side, my right hand is twitching like I’m a wizard casting a spell. I’m hunched over, bending my head as I stare at a lime green Lamborghini, shouting, “WHAT MODEL CAR AM I LOOKING AT?” (The lot is quite loud, given that several car dads are revving like Dom Toretto might appear at any minute and demand a street race.) After a few moments, I move to the next car and yell the same question.$799The GoodImpressive hardwareDisplay ...

Tesla FSD system accused of running red lights and causing crashes

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a new investigation into 2.88 million Tesla vehicles running "Full Self-Driving" (FSD). Officials say the system may be breaking traffic laws, and worse, causing accidents. According to Reuters, 58 reports describe Teslas blowing through red lights, drifting into the wrong lanes and even crashing at intersections. Fourteen of those cases involved actual crashes, and 23 caused injuries.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

The lab where GM is cooking up new EV batteries to beat China

Inside General Motors’ fast-growing battery labs in suburban Detroit, scientists and engineers are analyzing stresses on lithium-ion cells: desert heat, arctic cold, jungle humidity, enough charging and discharging for a half-dozen Frankenstein reboots.For The Verge’s exclusive tour of these secretive labs, I watch researchers peer at cell chemistries down to the atomistic level, using electron microscopes. Others work at a larger scale, all the way up to the Megashaker. Inside a cavernous hall, an enormous sliding test chamber envelops one of GM’s double-stacked, 205-kilowatt-hour battery packs — the type that powers hulking models like the Cadillac Escalade IQ.The 2,900-pound pack is suspended in midair from a ceiling-mounted crane, bolted to a surrounding structure to mimic its conne...

Les dominos étoilés, l’énigme maths du « Monde » n° 73

Le principal raisonnement permettant d’avancer dans le remplissage consiste à observer les cases les plus éloignées des étoiles : pour elles, il n’existe souvent qu’une façon de poser les dominos qui respecte la règle. Par exemple, le domino en bas à gauche dans la première grille ne peut atteindre une étoile qu’en plaçant deux dominos verticaux dans la colonne de gauche. Pour les deux grilles, la solution est unique. Source link
