Ring has launched a new Ring Verify tool that the company says can "verify that Ring videos you receive haven't been edited or changed." But since Ring won't verify videos that have been altered in any way, it probably won't be able to verify those videos you see on TikTok that look like they're from security camera footage but are actually made with AI. @verge Baby, that's a fake baby. Here are some ways AI content accounts are going out of their way to make AI videos seem legit. #ai #aislop #slopbusters #aivideos #sora ♬ original sound - The Verge All videos downloaded from Ring's cloud now include a "digital security seal," Rin …Read the full story at The Verge.

Ever since I tried Raycast a few months ago, I've sworn by its usefulness in my day-to-day. It started on macOS, but it has since expanded to Windows in an official capacity, and to a lesser extent, to Linux thanks to the Vicinae project. macOS is still where I use it the most (because that's where I spend the most time), but it's incredibly helpful on all my machines.

Leaving Windows can be a grueling decision for a long-time user. The transition for a slightly tech-enthusiastic user like me is more seamless than for an average one. When an older user makes the switch, the first impression is starkly different than the regular “old” Windows. Then begins a love-hate relationship of finding settings, apps, and making adjustments. The shortcuts seem different, the settings are different, and there's a slight terminal interaction as well.

Linux has been around for a long time now, to the point where there's still code within the kernel relating to technologies that people don't really use anymore. However, there's always the chance that someone is using said tech (and knowing how people love their retro hardware, there usually is at least someone), so the code is maintained and kept around.

What do you do if you have terrible Wi-Fi coverage and no option to run Ethernet cabling throughout the home? One solution that could be recommended is using a few powerline adapters. They're actually extremely smart by using existing electrical wiring to provide channels for electrical signals to be sent and received. In essence, you're hard-wiring your home without drilling any holes.

The few times I've seen someone fall for, or almost fall for, a scam, it's usually because their mind has gone into autopilot while trying to achieve something else. It's usually because the scammer has made them believe that something bad is happening, so the victim tries to log into their accounts ASAP to fix the non-existent problem, giving away their account information to a phishing website in the process.

Just over a year after it briefly disappeared from app stores, TikTok in the US is now part of a new entity, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC. With approval from both the US and China closing on the schedule laid out in December, ByteDance's ownership of the new joint venture is now only 19.9 percent to satisfy the terms of the divest-or-ban law signed in 2024 by President Biden. The other 80.1 percent is owned by investment firm Silver Lake, Oracle, and Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX - the three "managing investors" that now hold 15 percent stakes - and several other smaller investors, like Michael Dell's family investment firm.A press releas …Read the full story at The Verge.

We know it's not the best time to build or even upgrade a PC. But if you've been thinking about it anyway, and wanted a powerful CPU that's now down to a great price, this AMD AM5 chip might be just what you're looking for.

Ever since April 2020 when NVIDIA showed off the second generation of their Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) Super Resolution upscaler, the gaming world just hasn't been the same. Some would argue that it marked the day developers began to forget how to optimize games, letting upscalers do their work, but it's just as easy to see the upside — glorious and undeniable as it has been.

In what world does Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake get canceled amid corporate restructuring and yet BG&E2 does not? "Beyond Good & Evil 2 remains a priority for us in the context of our strategy centered around Open World Adventures," an unnamed Ubisoft spokesperson told Kotaku and Insider Gaming.The original Beyond Good & Evil is a fantastic game I can enjoy even now, over 20 years on from its 2003 release.The sequel has been in development hell nearly as long at over 17 years, the longest of any major game; it's survived the retirement of its first creative director, the death of its second creative director, and that one …Read the full story at The Verge.

Samsung’s aptly titled Frame TV is designed to blend in with the rest of your home decor. Unless you’re dead set on picking up a larger panel, Samsung’s forthcoming 2026 Frame lineup represents a fairly minor upgrade. That makes last year’s model an easy rec for those on the hunt for an art-inspired 4K TV, especially given the 43- and 50-inch models are down to the lowest prices we’ve seen at Woot, selling for $597.99 ($302 off) and $697.99 ($402 off), respectively, through January 31st.Samsung The Frame (2025)Where to Buy: $899.99 $597.99 at Woot (43-inch) $1099.99 $697.99 at Woot (50-inch)Samsung’s last-gen 4K TV can easily pass for a piece of artwork, thanks to its slim QLED display that can showcase thousands of famous paintings when idle. Its anti-glare matte panel adds a realistic, canvas-like quality that helps it blend into your home decor, and you can even display your own photos and images. It’s great for watching TV shows and movies, too, as it supports HDR10 Plus for richer image quality and Dolby Atmos for more spacious, immersive sound. You also get access to all your major streaming apps — Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, etc. —along with support for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.There are some caveats to bear in mind, such as the fact that the 43-inch model only offers a 60Hz refresh rate, whereas larger models can reach 144Hz. And though Samsung offers a limited selection of free artwork, you’ll need a Samsung Art Store subscription ($4.99 a month / $49.99 a year) to access the full catalog. Nonetheless, both the 43-inch and 50-inch models are a good investment if you want Samsung’s artsy TV experience but in a smaller, more affordable package.

Despite the Wii being a global hit, some of its cooler features never made it out of Japan. One of them was the Demae Channel, which let you order food from the comfort of your Wii. It was a joint collaboration between Nintendo and the Japanese food delivery service, Demae-can, and the close partnership is likely the reason we never got an equivalent app in the West.
