When Volkswagen introduced the first Golf GTI in Europe in 1976, it might not have been the first hot hatchback, but it quickly became the gold standard version. Unlike in America, where big cars were cheap and fuel even cheaper, small European streets and even smaller car-buying budgets necessitated vehicles a little more economical in both size and fuel consumption. Small, front-wheel-drive hatchbacks were the answer, but they weren’t particularly exciting. The GTI changed that perception with a more powerful engine, sharper handling, and subtle styling tweaks, creating a recipe for the next 50 years. And today, VW showed off…

T-Mobile recently blindsided its satellite partner SpaceX by announcing plans to form a joint venture (JV) with arch-rivals AT&T and Verizon. The Big Three aim to collaborate on a multi-operator satellite initiative by pooling spectrum resources and creating unified industry specs. The broader industry, and certainly SpaceX, views this as an attempt to keep Elon Musk’s influence in check.SpaceX is taking note Do the Big Three want to corner SpaceX? | Image by David Goldman While SpaceX hasn’t officially commented, company execs couldn’t help reacting to the news online, as PCMag first noted. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s President and Chief Operating…

“Guess what we just got in the mail?” Asks Double Jump Video Games owner SicCooper in a recent video. “A literal box of poop.” Over the last week, a growing number of video game shops have reported receiving boxes of the 2018 PlayStation 4 game Poop Slinger. Though they say you can’t polish a turd, the game’s rather boutique physical run made it de facto one of the rarest games on the console. With fewer than 100 known copies in the wild, they usually fetch over a thousand in online auctions. Or at least they used to. Receiving such a…

OpenAI is reportedly exploring legal options after Apple’s ChatGPT integration into its products didn’t live up to the AI firm’s expectations. When the deal was announced, Apple likened features linking Siri to ChatGPT to its now-infamous deal embedding Google search in the Safari browser, insiders granted anonymity to discuss the “strained” partnership told Bloomberg. And the promise of that excited OpenAI, which expected the deal “could generate billions of dollars per year in subscriptions,” an OpenAI executive granted anonymity to discuss the partnership told Bloomberg. Instead, OpenAI suspects Apple intentionally failed to promote the integration and fears that the deal…

If you’ve ever wondered why a stranger texted you a suspiciously official-looking “Find My iPhone” link after your phone went missing, here’s your answer. There’s an entire underground economy built around one goal: getting your passcode out of you by any means necessary.How a stolen iPhone turns into a $1,000 paydayA locked iPhone is mostly junk to a thief. According to this report, a stolen iPhone in its locked state fetches only $50 to $200, since it can really only be parted out for components. Unlock it though, and the same phone jumps to between $500 and $1,000.That gap is…

AI-generated slop has shown up everywhere, including in the peer-reviewed literature. Fake citations, unedited prompt responses, and nonsensical diagrams have all slipped past editors and peer reviewers, and it’s not always clear if there are any consequences for the people responsible. Now, it appears that a number of scientific fields will be enforcing rules against AI-generated problems even before peer review or journals get involved. One of the people involved in the physics and astronomy preprint server arXiv used a social media thread to announce that any inappropriate AI-produced content submitted to the server will result in a one-year ban…

For most of the past year, it looked like prediction markets had kicked off a new golden age of fraud. On Polymarket, traders raked in fortunes from suspiciously timed bets on geopolitical events like the raid on Venezuela and the Iran War. It wasn’t clear whether the US government would bother pursuing some of the most flagrant bad actors, since Polymarket’s crypto-based platform was technically offshore and not regulated or licensed within the country. Now, however, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which oversees prediction markets, wants you to know that it’s watching very, very closely. The agency is searching for…

Your Pixel’s screen has always been one of its strongest features, especially on the Pro models that hit 3,300 nits without breaking a sweat. But Google just slipped in a small setting that completely transforms how your display looks, and honestly, it’s the kind of thing Samsung and Apple should be paying attention to.What Google’s Comfort Filters actually doGoogle has rolled out a new feature called Comfort Filters on Pixel phones, and tucked inside it is Comfort View. This mode swaps your screen’s standard RGB colors for softer, pastel versions, so reds get gentler, blues get cooler, and the whole…
