T-Mobile is launching a new financing option that will allow you to pay for a device, taxes, and fees over 36 months. In an update on Tuesday, T-Mobile says its new Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) Flex 36 requires no upfront payment and will come with a 0 percent APR for a limited time. Even if […]

When a premium car brand like BMW says it has a "special surprise" in store for drivers, I'd expect something more luxurious than having a movie commercial beamed onto the dashboard. That's exactly what's happening to many BMW owners, however, who are being shown banner ads for Spider-man: Brand New Day on their Control Display […]

Hank Green, a popular YouTuber and science communicator, said he is stepping back from production amid intense criticism over his use of AI. Green described his AI usage as "not healthy," but stressed that he used it for finding research sources and not to write scripts. Much of the ensuing firestorm in this corner of […]

Memory and storage prices will be inflated for the foreseeable future, so we’re always happy to find a good deal on capable gaming hardware, like this discount on the Lenovo Legion Go S with a Z2 Go processor and SteamOS. Normally $1,137.41 (and selling for close to $1,000 at Best Buy), Lenovo has the handheld […]

The brand trip is a right of passage for influencers. It's a mark of legitimacy that a sponsor wants to invite them on an all-expenses-paid vacation, often with luxurious freebies and activities. Trips can also spur hard feelings from uninvited influencers, trigger criticism from the public, and project a certain frivolousness. Usually it is fast […]

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov blames an extortionist for planting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in a public chat to get the app temporarily removed from Apple's App Store on Monday night. "Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us," Durov says in a post on X. "This creates a potential systemic risk for […]

Waymo has dropped the waitlist for its robotaxi service in Dallas, the latest step in the company's bid to scale its self-driving technology across the United States, U.K., and Europe.

The week-old Open Secure AI Alliance, spearheaded by Nvidia and grown to over 120 companies, already has proposals out for defending against AI agents.

Wrinkles, available on both iOS and Android, essentially acts as an AI-powered audio tour guide that reveals hidden history and local stories.

Anthropic has been on a cloud partnership spree in recent months and its latest move is reportedly a $10 billion deal with AI cloud startup Volta.

Why Decouple Reasoning from Motor Control General-purpose robots have to pull off two very different jobs at once. They need to read a cluttered, full-room visual scene, hold a multi-minute plan in memory, and converse with a person — and, in the same instant, close a high-frequency control loop that keeps a balancing humanoid upright and moves a delicate hand without dropping whatever it holds. Cramming both jobs into a single end-to-end network forces uncomfortable trade-offs: the large co...

Google's Gemini Notebook rollout has expanded across subscriber and account groups, but Google's published information describes a staged, multi-phase release , not a confirmed global completion for every Google AI Pro subscriber. That distinction matters for users evaluating access, planning source-based research workflows, or deciding whether a subscription tier will immediately provide the enhanced Notebook experience. The product was previously known as NotebookLM . In its official G...

Industrializing the disassembly of an undocumented processor from a raw binary is a complex challenge that can be broken down into 4 main phases: Verify that the binary does not belong to an already known processor. Verify that the binary does not correspond to obfuscated, compressed, or encrypted code from a known processor. Build an undocumented processor generator. Develop the analysis workflow and disassembly generation pipeline. For the first step of this project, the goal i...

In Part 1, I explained why Enola extracts deterministic architectural facts before an AI agent begins reasoning. That leaves the next design question: How should those facts be represented? The obvious answer is to build a graph containing every symbol, dependency, route, service, and repository. But the difficult part is not putting nodes and edges into a graph. It is preserving what those relationships mean. A function call is not the same as a package dependency. A route reg...

A journey into DDC/CI — the remote-control protocol that has been hiding inside your display cable for over twenty years, and how it turned my monitor into a KVM. The desk that started it all My setup looks ordinary: a MacBook Air open on the desk (my primary machine), and an LG 32UN880K — a 32" 4K monitor with two HDMI ports, DisplayPort, and USB-C. The less ordinary part is behind the MacBook: an ASUS gaming laptop running Linux whose internal screen died. It now lives as a...

I recently released SwiftLoad Downloader, a fast, modern download manager built with Go and Swift. 🔧 Tech stack: Go backend for protocol handling (HTTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, eD2k). Swift frontend for a polished, cross‑platform UI. 🚀 Why it matters: Demonstrates how Go can power high‑performance networking tasks. Shows how to bridge Go with native UI frameworks. Repo: SwiftLoad Downloader I’ll be sharing more about the architecture and lessons learned. Feedback and contribu...

Welcome to this week's Top 7, where the DEV editorial team handpicks their favorite posts from the previous week (Saturday-Friday). Congrats to all the authors that made it onto the list 👏 I Run Bare-Metal Kubernetes on $200 of Scrap Hardware (And Why I Burned 3 SD Cards Learning) Real failure stories beat sterile tutorials Le Beltagy ...

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry . Did anyone ask for a bug hunter? No? Well, here I am. This is an old story and special to me, but I wanted to write about it because it was my first time seriously finding bugs in someone else's software. Not bugs in my own code where I already knew which questionable decision probably caused them. Actual bugs in an actual product that someone else had built. There was a competition where parti...

A new GitHub project titled "Waste" aims to tackle the challenges of running enormous AI models in environments with limited RAM. By leveraging a streaming mechanism to pull activated weights directly from NVMe storage, developers can execute the hefty 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model without the need for excessive memory allocation. This method could significantly affect engineering teams dealing with high parameter count models, particularly when physical memory constraints can stymie dep...

A Spark job commits a table update. The catalog writes the change to Postgres. Then the network drops between the catalog and the client, and the client never sees the response. The client does the sensible thing and retries. This time the catalog sees that the table has already moved past the base snapshot in the request, so it returns 409 Conflict. The client reads that 409 as a failed commit and deletes the metadata files it just wrote. The commit is now recorded in the catalog, and the files...

Hoy buena parte del código que entra a mis proyectos lo escribe un modelo. No es un experimento, es cómo trabajamos. Y eso me trajo una pregunta que antes casi no me hacía, porque el código lo escribía yo y más o menos sabía dónde estaban los huecos: si no escribí esto, ¿cómo sé que sirve? La respuesta obvia es "mido cobertura". Yo la mido. Y una vez tuve todo en verde mientras la página se caía en producción. Este post es sobre esa contradicción, y sobre las decisiones que hacen que el nú...

Google has renamed NotebookLM as Gemini Notebook , tying its source-grounded research workspace more closely to the wider Gemini ecosystem. The change is more than a new label: Google says notebooks will sync across the Gemini app and Google Search as the rollout expands, creating a broader home for organizing sources, chats, and AI-assisted analysis. The rebrand provides the clearest context for recent attention around file support, chat-based creation, and deeper analysis. Gemini Noteboo...
