Ikea's new Badkruka wireless Bluetooth speaker is now available in the US for $59.99. It's reminiscent of the colorful and tiny $10 Kallsup speaker that Ikea debuted earlier this year at CES 2026, but at almost seven inches tall, the boxy Badkruka isn't designed with portability in mind as it also lacks a rechargeable battery.

That isn't Apple's former CEO promoting the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in a new Samsung ad - "Tim Cook from Palmerston North" just happens to have the same name and look a lot like him. Released right as Apple announced its iPhone Duo, the ad mimics Apple's cinematic product launch videos, with "Tim Cook" saying […]

John Ternus didn't mention Apple Home once during his first keynote as Apple CEO. But he did open by describing an "intelligent personal hub" that prioritizes local processing, protects your privacy, and integrates with all your other devices, apps, and services. While Ternus was talking about the iPhone - not a new smart home device […]

Hello once again from Toronto, where for a week every year I watch far too many movies and tell you all about them. The festival, better known as TIFF, is always a great preview of the months ahead in film, with a nice mix of mainstream fare, awards contenders, indie surprises, and genre flicks destined […]

Meta says it's making changes to the prompts suggested by its AI chatbot after a viral video showed it digging for personal information about a woman's young daughters, as reported earlier by Futurism. In a statement to The Verge, Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby says the company "missed the mark," adding that "the feature never should […]

Anker’s Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro came out swinging in May with incredible call quality, something that competing ear buds have struggled to get right. They’ve become part of our reviewer John Higgins’ rotation of earbuds for more than just taking calls; The Liberty 5 Pro have fantastic audio once you make some tweaks in their […]

On September 6th, YouTuber Nicholas Light posted a video to one of his channels that made it seem like all of his content was about to be removed from the platform. In the video - ominously titled "My Channel will be Deleted Today" - Light alleges that he was on the receiving end of some […]

The Apple AirPods 5 are bringing active noise cancellation to the masses, and they're now available for preorder at a variety of retailers. They'll officially launch on September 18th, the same day as the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, as well as the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. There are two versions […]

Just a couple of weeks before Meta Connect starts on September 23rd, UploadVR posted images seemingly revealing the design for Meta's "Project Phoenix" headset. The images, which UploadVR says were "found in the HorizonOS Prescription Lens firmware package," suggest Meta may be looking to compete with devices like those from Xreal or Viture. These companies' […]

This is the second data breach affecting a company that hardware crypto wallet maker Trezor relies on.

In a Slack message seen by TechCrunch, Matt Mullenweg told Automattic employees he’s back in control of the company, days after its board put him on leave. Automattic has not yet confirmed the apparent reversal.

If you're learning C++, one surprisingly common source of confusion is input. Why does this: std :: cin >> text ; only read one word? Why does std::getline() sometimes seem to skip an input? And why does reading text from a file suddenly print every word on a separate line? The answer becomes much simpler once you understand that C++ has two different ideas here: reading a value and reading a line . That's also the idea behind my small head...

You sit down on Saturday with one goal. You want a tiny status reporter for later. The coding agent already has a full plan. It wants a dashboard, a worker, and Redis. You did not ask for that extra surface. You asked for a green or red result. This log shows the cut you should make. The Saturday scene The repo is a quiet side project. It holds one script and a data folder. You type a loose prompt anyway. "Make a status page I can demo." The agent treats "page" as ...

Hola a todos! Llegamos al final de la serie. En la primera parte vimos qué es un Data Lake y por qué importa. En la segunda parte conocimos los 5 servicios que forman el núcleo: S3, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation y Lambda. Hoy dejamos la teoría de lado. Vamos a construir el Data Lake completo , con todo el código disponible en un repo abierto para que lo despliegues en tu propia cuenta de AWS en minutos. Acá estamos. Manos a la obra.

A Friday review often begins with a polite subject line. The patch claims to fix a 504 on /invoice . Then the file list arrives: a new Redis helper, a line in requirements.txt , a port in docker-compose.yml , and a comment that the timeout was “probably a cache miss.” Nobody asked for a cache. The timeout lived in one function. The model widened the job because nothing in the repo told it where the fence was. This lab treats that leak as a teaching object, not a personality debate. AI codi...

Most teams building on LLMs end up with two patterns in the same codebase: RAG for looking things up in a corpus, and some hand-rolled memory for remembering what the agent has done or what the user has said. The two are often confused, and the confusion costs real engineering time when one is used in place of the other. RAG retrieves content the agent doesn't already know . Memory retrieves context the agent has already participated in . They share a vector store but they answer...

A 2D terrain editor should let creators think in terrain—not in a catalogue of corners, edge tiles, and one-off fixes. When a map is built tile by tile, a small visual change can become a maintenance problem. Paint a new patch of ground and suddenly every transition, slope, collision boundary, and layer relationship needs attention. That friction is exactly what we set out to remove. The terrain problem with tile-by-tile editing Traditional tilemaps are powerful, but they ask ...

A backend engineer boarded a late train with a half-finished agent run still sitting in a terminal. The laptop held repository tokens inside a local vault, and the next tool call needed a long compile that would wake every fan. Cellular data flickered between two bars and airplane mode, so a naive always-remote setup would stall without warning. An always-local setup would cook the chassis and drain the battery before the next station arrived. That commute is the whole placement problem in mi...

Production incident. Pod is failing. Alerts are firing. The instinctive response is often: "Restart the pod and see if it comes back." Sometimes that restores service — but it can also destroy useful evidence. Before restarting, check these five things. 1. Describe the pod kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n <namespace> Look at: Container state Restart count Last termination reason Probe failures Events This often tell...

I ran into one of those "bugs" that initially looks completely unrelated to your code. My Windows account started getting locked randomly. The weird part was that I knew the password was correct. Sometimes I could log in normally, and sometimes Windows would suddenly say that the account was locked. At first I assumed it was some Windows issue. It wasn't. The clue: Event ID 4625 After checking the Windows Security event log, I found a large number of failed logon even...

Thirty-six, six times six. In the numbers there is craft; in the craft there are numbers. Yin and yang temper each other, and the mechanism lies within. A mechanism cannot be contrived; contrive it, and it misses.

The worker log ended on a comma. Not a stack trace, not a timeout banner, just a trailing comma and then the same INSERT running again. I was on hour three of a borrowed coding box, watching a webhook worker “fix itself” by doing the side effect twice. The setup was ordinary. A small HTTP handler accepted a delivery, wrote a row, and enqueued a follow-up job. An agent loop was supposed to patch a parser bug. It had a file-write tool, a shell tool, and a test command. The free remote server wa...
