The deepfake epidemic in schools is affecting more than students. Four teachers tell WIRED about becoming targets of sexualized, AI-generated content—and how difficult it was to find accountability.

These WIRED-tested dual-purpose air purifiers also function as heaters, fans, art pieces, and more, offering the best of both worlds.

Tethered display glasses are truly practical face computers. They trade bulky spatial computing for simplicity: Plug in, recline, and get a massive screen right in front of your nose.

Home theater projectors are getting better and better, and have quickly become my favorite way to enjoy movies.

Looking to better protect your Kindle or add a little personality to your favorite e-reader? From cases and covers to page turners and even charms, this is the guide for you.

With two cameras and built-in climate sensors, the Birdfy Nest Duo let me watch an entire nesting season unfold.

The 9.58-second 100-meter dash record set by Usain Bolt in 2009 has been outpaced by Chinese robots participating at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing. In a preliminary heat on Saturday, Tiangong Ultra, made by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation ​Center, ran the distance in 9.39 seconds, followed by the Honor-developed Lightning at 9.47 […]

GrapheneOS, an open source version of Android that prioritizes security and privacy, has detailed its plans for supporting Motorola smartphones. Official support is set to arrive next year, starting with traditional flagships, before rolling out to Motorola's foldable phones and perhaps cheaper models, eventually. In a Mastodon thread, the GrapheneOS Foundation announced that it will […]

The European Union is preparing Not On Our Feed - Together against cyberbullying , a pan-EU campaign aimed at helping young people address cyberbullying and emerging online risks. The initiative is planned for late summer or early autumn 2026, according to the Better Internet for Kids programme, rather than having a single confirmed campaign-wide launch day. The campaign matters because it sits within a broader shift in EU online-safety policy. On 10 February 2026, the European Commission pu...

At 3:17 AM last Tuesday, my payment-api ECS service entered a terminal failure loop. 7,279 failed tasks since August 13th. The health check expected /api/health but the container only served static content. Every 60 seconds, ECS killed the task and replaced it. Burning compute the entire time. No alarm fired. I never set one up. No PagerDuty page. No Slack alert. Just a service churning through resources that nobody was watching. I slept through the whole thing. And woke up to a solved p...

The honest story of building Cerberus and why I need real traffic to finish it.  A few days ago I wrote here about a test that failed. It was a synthetic data generator that fell over on real-world noise. I got more engagement on that post than anything I'd written before, which taught me something: developers don't trust perfection. They trust someone who shows the mess. So here's the mess I'm in now. The Problem I sell API access for a living. A few months ago a customer's key leaked—c...

Superpowers packages a full spec-driven methodology into installable Claude Skills, enforcing brainstorming, planning, subagent-driven implementation, and strict TDD instead of leaving that structure up to you. Most Claude Code SDD setups fail the same way: someone writes a solid specify-plan-implement skill once, uses it diligently for a week, then quietly drifts back to unstructured prompting the first time a deadline gets close. Nothing in a hand-rolled skill actually stops that. Superp...

I've been building a set of file tools that run entirely client-side — no upload, no server. The image side turned out to need no library and no WASM binary at all . The browser already ships JPEG, PNG and WebP codecs, and shipping your own would cost megabytes to do it worse. Here's the whole thing: const bitmap = await createImageBitmap ( file ) const canvas = new OffscreenCanvas ( bitmap . width , bitmap . height ) const ctx = canvas . get...

New advancements in Generative AI Most AI tutorials start with a ten-paragraph philosophical essay on whether machines can think. Let's skip that. If you are a developer trying to build something useful, you already know the limitations of what we had six months ago: models that hallucinate database schemas, context windows that drop your system prompt the moment things get interesting, and orchestration frameworks that feel like Rube Goldberg machines written in Python. Things have shift...

Every React Native team eventually asks the same question: Reanimated, Moti, or Skia? The framing is wrong. These three don't compete, they compose. Here's the mental model that will save you a bad refactor. Reanimated is the runtime. The other two depend on it. Moti is a declarative wrapper over Reanimated. Less code, less control. Skia is a rendering engine, not an animation library. It accepts Reanimated shared values directly. Install Reanimated and Moti on day one. ...

I spent a long time writing deliberately vague task descriptions, and I could defend it. A complete brief took forty minutes. The teammate picking it up would skim it anyway, miss the one constraint that mattered, and message me a question I had already answered in paragraph three. So I wrote less and kept the rest in my head. Cheaper, given the reader. Then the reader changed. Half the tickets on our board are now picked up by someone who immediately pastes them into Claude Code or Codex. An...

You’ve seen flashy EventBridge Pipes demos, but they hide the mechanics of an autonomous AI agent. In just a few lines of TypeScript you can wire SQS and Lambda together to give your LLM a reliable tool‑use loop. Let’s demystify the messaging backbone that makes the agent think, act, and observe. The Plan‑Act‑Observe Loop Made Simple Why a loop? Think of an autonomous agent like a chef following a recipe: Plan – decide what ingredient (tool) is needed. Act...

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. A 2025 CloudGoat walkthrough by VirajMathpati documents a privilege escalation that no permission-based scanner catches. The principal with a synthetic IAM user named cg-sns-user-cgidxi93qpes3g has zero permissions on Secrets Manager. Run their identity through IAM Access Analyzer; it confirms no access. Run it through PMapper; same answer. Run it through any policy-based review; the IAM user cannot read any secret in the...

TL;DR Merchant Center's "Invalid value for category [price]" fires whenever the price attribute Google receives is exactly 0; the only documented exception is mobile devices sold under a contract promotion. On Shopify the zero comes from one of two unrelated causes: an unfilled variant price (a data issue, no code involved) or a theme's JSON-LD snippet reading a variable that can resolve to empty (a code bug that hits every product page). Scanning structured data across 90,000+ Shopify...

I run AI Change Watch , a small independent project that crawls what 15 AI vendors publish about their own models — deprecation tables, lifecycle pages, pricing and SDK releases — and records every time one of them changes. At some point I added a Content-Security-Policy. It was correct. It shipped. Production was fine. And then, locally, every interactive thing on the site stopped working. The symptom next dev starts. The page loads. It looks exactly right — the la...

If you want to create your own marketplace, the gap between idea and live platform is smaller than most guides suggest - but the decisions you make in the first 60 days determine your cost structure, vendor experience, and scalability for years. This guide walks through every step of building a multi-vendor marketplace from scratch: choosing a business model, selecting your technology stack, scoping an MVP, and launching with your first vendors. The steps below come from building 30+ marketpl...

Modern distributed systems are complex. A single user request might travel through multiple services, databases, caches, queues, and external APIs before a response is returned. User │ ▼ API Gateway │ ▼ User Service ───→ Redis │ ▼ Order Service │ ▼ Payment Service │ ▼ Database Now imagine a user reports: "The application is very slow." Where is the problem? Is it: The API server? The database? Redis? A slow microservice? An ext...

A Saudi-developed platform for digital forensics, DFIR, authorized penetration testing, reverse engineering, and privacy T-PHANTOM OS is introduced as the first Saudi-developed cybersecurity-focused Linux distribution: a bilingual Arabic and English security operating system created for practical cybersecurity operations, digital investigations, and controlled security laboratories. The system was designed and developed by Eng. Talal Fawaz Al-Sohimiy — م. طلال فواز السحيمي, a Saudi program...

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, providing the same kind of document-navigation power that XPath gives XML developers. Instead of writing nested loops or chained property accesses, you write a compact expression that pinpoints exactly the data you need — whether it lives three levels deep or is scattered across a hundred-element array. What Is JSONPath and Why Does It Matter? Stefan Goessner introduced JSONPath in 2007 as a direct analog to XPath 1.0 for XML. Just as XPath ...
