I have long been on the hunt for the perfect distraction-free writing setup. The latest contender is BYOK, which stands for Bring Your Own Keyboard. It's a simple $199 black plastic rectangle with a low-resolution LCD screen that lets you edit text and does almost nothing else. I've tried dedicated apps. I've even converted an […]
Slate Auto is a new startup that emerged out of a secretive project called “Re:Car” within Re:Build Manufacturing, a domestic manufacturing project backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The company’s first electric vehicle is a barebones electric pickup that’s roughly a third of the size of your typical gas-powered truck. And the proposal is pretty […]

Following the launch of the SL3 in 2024 and last year's SL3-S that was optimized for speed and capturing fast moving subjects, Leica announced the new SL3-P today delivering some of the best features from both of its predecessors. Like Leica's previous "P" variants, the new SL3-P lacks the brand's iconic and recognizable red dot […]
Apple is hiking prices in response to the ongoing memory shortage. On Thursday, the company adjusted the price of its new MacBook Neo, which will now start at $699 instead of $599, while the base MacBook Air will jump to $1,299 from $1,099, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. The 14-inch MacBook Pro is getting an […]

Meta is bringing back the Facebook Creator Studio page manager, now "reimagined" as a standalone AI companion app. The new app aims to make it easier for creators to connect with their audiences and show them "exactly how to grow on Facebook," according to Meta's announcement. Meta's AI Creator Assistant is a central focus of […]
Introduction In the early 2000s, email spam was rampant, cluttering inboxes with unsolicited messages promising quick riches or promoting dubious products. Fast forward to today, and a similar phenomenon is occurring in the world of open-source software: Pull Request (PR) spam. Much like its email predecessor, PR spam is becoming a major nuisance for developers and maintainers, disrupting workflows and compromising the integrity of collaborative software projects. This blog post explores the parallels between early 2000s email spam and contemporary PR spam, examines the motivations behind this new wave of digital clutter, and discusses potential solutions to mitigate its impact. The Rise of PR Spam The Allure of Contribution Metrics One of the primary drivers behind PR spam is the increasing emphasis on contribution metrics in the open-source community. Platforms like GitHub have made contributing to projects more accessible, and many developers are eager to showcase their activity through public repositories. However, this focus on quantity over quality can lead to an influx of low-effort or irrelevant PRs. An example of this is Hacktoberfest, an annual event encouraging contributions to open-source projects. While well-intentioned, it has, in some instances, resulted in a deluge of superficial PRs. Contributors seeking to meet participation thresholds often submit changes that are trivial or unnecessary, much like the spam emails of old that inundated our inboxes with irrelevant or nonsensical content. Automated PR Generators Another factor contributing to the rise of PR spam is the use of automated tools that generate pull requests. These tools can be beneficial for routine tasks such as dependency updates or code formatting. However, when misused, they can lead to a flood of PRs that lack genuine human oversight or consideration, akin to the automated email spam generators that once plagued communication networks. For instance, a tool might automatically submit
The silicon race is heating up amid the struggle to keep up with demand.
Microsoft just added a cheaper 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop to its lineup. Both models come equipped with 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB, costing $849 for the specced-down Surface Pro and $949 for the Surface Laptop, as spotted earlier by Windows Central. When the 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop launched […]
A critique published in Nature Wednesday calls the basic technology behind Microsoft's "breakthrough" quantum computing chip the Majorana 1 into question. Microsoft unveiled the chip in February 2025 and said it featured a brand-new technology known as a topological qubit. Topological qubits, they said, would be the "building blocks" for their future quantum computer. Microsoft […]
Lawsuit alleged Disney inflated market prices by making carriers include ESPN.
UK-based staff at the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), the nonprofit that supports Wikipedia, are pushing forward with their unionization drive. On Wednesday, the staff sent a letter to WMF management requesting the organization voluntarily recognize the union. "The WMF has undergone a period of significant change in recent months, escalating workers' concerns over transparency, trust, and […]
Figma has revealed some new design and coding product updates at its annual Config conference that aim to help creatives "push their ideas further" and automate tedious tasks with AI. Part of this is a reimagined canvas that's now optimized for full-stack development, according to Figma, bringing teams, AI agents, tools, and materials "together in […]
There are an overwhelming number of Prime Day deals to sort through, which is why we spend so much time highlighting products we’ve already tested and can stand behind. But our recommendations are only one way to identify a worthwhile deal: another is seeing which products fellow Verge readers actually buy. Below, we’ve rounded up […]
Zoox, the autonomous vehicle company owned by Amazon, unveiled a new look for its boxy, bidirectional robotaxi, calling it the "next evolution" of the vehicle intended for mass production. The company is currently operating a free robotaxi service in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Austin, and Miami while it waits for the federal government to approve […]
8BitDo announced a new version of its all-button Arcade Controller that debuted a little over a year ago. The new Arcade Controller Pro looks similar to 8BitDo's original with a leverless (or Hitbox) design that replaces joysticks with buttons for improved precision and responsiveness. The new Pro version comes with upgrades that include an even […]
Philips Hue has announced a connectivity upgrade for its Matter-over-Thread-enabled smart bulbs that will allow them to run both Thread and Zigbee at the same time. The change means you can connect compatible Hue bulbs and fixtures directly to a Matter ecosystem - Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, or Google Home - while keeping them linked […]

Quando comecei a trabalhar com tecnologia, há mais de duas décadas, a Inteligência Artificial era algo restrito a laboratórios de pesquisa e ficção científica. Hoje, ela está embutida no aplicativo que recomenda sua próxima série, no e-mail que filtra spam automaticamente e até no GPS que recalcula sua rota em tempo real. A IA deixou de ser promessa para se tornar infraestrutura invisível do cotidiano. Neste artigo, quero ir além do hype e mostrar, com exemplos concretos, como essa tecnologia já transforma a forma como vivemos e trabalhamos. Produtividade pessoal e profissional turbinada O caso de uso mais palpável da IA hoje está na produtividade. Assistentes baseados em modelos de linguagem (LLMs) como ChatGPT, Claude e Gemini reduziram drasticamente o tempo gasto em tarefas que antes consumiam horas: redação de e-mails, geração de relatórios, resumos de reuniões e até depuração de código. Na minha rotina como gestor de TI, integrei essas ferramentas a fluxos de trabalho reais. Por exemplo, utilizo modelos de IA para revisar contratos de smart contracts escritos em Rust para a rede Stellar, identificando padrões de vulnerabilidade antes mesmo da auditoria formal. Não substitui a perícia humana, mas funciona como uma primeira camada de triagem que economiza tempo precioso da equipe. Algumas aplicações práticas que recomendo testar: Transcrição e resumo automático de reuniões com ferramentas como Otter.ai ou Fireflies Geração de documentação técnica a partir de comentários de código Automação de respostas em suporte de primeiro nível via chatbots treinados com a base de conhecimento da empresa O segredo está em tratar a IA como copiloto, nunca como piloto automático. A revisão humana continua indispensável, especialmente em contextos críticos. Saúde, finanças e decisões do dia a dia A IA também opera nos bastidores de decisões que afetam diretamente nossa qualidade de vida. No setor de saúde, algoritmos de visão computacional já auxiliam radiologistas na detecção pr
