I’ve been building Raspberry Pi projects for a few years now. But even with all the Single-Board Computers in my arsenal, I don’t have enough boards for all my DIY ideas. As such, I tend to keep different microSD cards for my essential projects, and often shift the ones that require more processing horsepower to my server nodes.

Anthropic will now let its Claude AI chatbot “remember” the details of previous conversations without prompting. The feature is only rolling out for Team and Enterprise users for now, allowing Claude to automatically incorporate someone’s preferences, the context of the project they’re working on, and their main priorities into each of its responses.Anthropic rolled out the ability for paid users to prompt Claude to remember past chats last month, but now the chatbot can pull up these details without Team and Enterprise users having to ask. Claude’s memory also carries over to projects, a feature that lets Pro and Teams generate things like diagrams, website designs, graphics, and more, based on files they upload to the chatbot. It seems to be particularly focused on work-related details, like a “team’s processes” and “client needs.” Anthropic notes that memory is “fully optional.”Anthropic says users can view and edit the memory Claude has stored from their settings menu. “Based on what you tell Claude to focus on or to ignore, Claude will adjust the memories it references,” Anthropic says. Both OpenAI and Google have already launched cross-chat memories for their chatbots. Last month, a report from The New York Times linked ChatGPT’s rollout of cross-chat memories to an increase in reports of “delusional” AI chats.Along with memories, Anthropic is rolling out incognito chats for all users, which Claude won’t save to its chat history or refer to in future chats. Google similarly rolled out Private Chats for Gemini in August.

I’ve been in the Adobe ecosystem for years, mainly out of habit and familiarity, but also because I didn’t believe there were any alternatives that were good enough. Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Express in particular felt like the only way to get any serious design work done. I eventually canceled my Adobe subscriptions because the constant updates and subscription fatigue started killing my workflow.

Recently, I revisited Seelen UI, a desktop environment of sorts for Windows PCs, powered by web technologies. I had originally tested it out almost a year ago, but the platform has evolved significantly since that earlier iteration, and Seelen UI today is a much more interesting piece of software than it was a year ago.

The wireless earbuds can connect to everything from the PS5 to the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2. | Image: The Verge A quality pair of headphones can make a huge difference in your gaming experience, and Sony’s InZone Buds are among the best wireless gaming earbuds available. They’re currently $143.98 ($86 off) at GameStop, dropping them to a new all-time low price. The Verge’s commerce editor, Cameron Faulkner, says they deliver excellent sound quality and versatility, with a USB-C audio transmitter that allows them to connect to everything from a PlayStation 5 to a Steam Deck and a Nintendo Switch 2.Sony InZone BudsSony’s wireless gaming buds offer low latency, active noise cancellation, and support for both Bluetooth and USB-C.Where to Buy: $229.99 $143.98 at GameStop $229.99 $198 at Best BuySony’s InZone Buds offer many of the same features as the company’s flagship earbuds, the WF-1000XM5, which remain our favorite overall earbuds. They use the same drivers, and they borrow the XM5’s active noise cancellation and mic transparency capabilities. Additionally, they offer up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge, or a total of 24 hours with the charging case (which can fit the USB-C transmitter).The InZone Buds feature multiple sizes of silicone ear tips, and if you have a PC, Sony’s InZone app can perform a sound test to help you choose the right ear tip for your inner ear shape. If you struggle to find a comfortable fit, a feature like this can be seriously useful. The earbuds also include a microphone, plus touch gestures for muting the mic, adjusting the volume of your audio, and toggling between noise cancellation settings — all of which can be customized via the InZone app.Other deals worth checking outIf you’re looking for something to charge your phone, wireless earbuds, and smartwatch, the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station is down to $65.99 ($45 off) at Amazon.

The trilogy includes the original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. The first TMNT movie from 1990 is still the best one 35 years later, with turtle costumes from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop that still hold up. I remember watching it as a kid and being completely terrified by the building fire fight scene.The Samsung Music Frame is currently down to an all-time low price of $127.99 ($260 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo. The 12.9 x 12.9-inch picture frame can connect to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with support for surround sound when paired with one of Samsung’s new TVs or soundbars. It also boasts Dolby Atmos support for more immersive audio and a pair of woofers, tweeters, and midrange drivers. The Music Frame can be mounted on the wall or displayed on media furniture with a stand, and it can actually be customized with a physical photo, unlike the Sonos / Ikea Symfonisk frame speaker from a few years back.

The work of creating artificial intelligence that holds to the guardrails of human values, known in the industry as alignment, has developed into its own (somewhat ambiguous) field of study rife with policy papers and benchmarks to rank models against each other. But who aligns the alignment researchers? Enter the Center for the Alignment of AI Alignment Centers, an organization purporting to coordinate thousands of AI alignment researchers into “one final AI center singularity.”At first glance, CAAAC seems legitimate. The aesthetics of the website are cool and calming, with a logo of converging arrows reminiscent of the idea of togetherness and sets of parallel lines swirling behind black font. But stay on the page for 30 seconds and the swirls spell out “bullshit,” giving away that CAAAC is all one big joke. One second longer and you’ll notice the hidden gems tucked away in every sentence and page of the fantasy center’s website. CAAAC launched Tuesday from the same team that brought us The Box, a literal, physical box that women can wear on dates to avoid the threat of their image being turned into AI-generated deepfake slop. “This website is the most important thing that anyone will read about AI in this millenium or the next,” said CAAAC cofounder Louis Barclay, staying in character when talking to The Verge. (The second founder of CAAAC wished to remain anonymous, according to Barclay.) CAAAC’s vibe is so similar to AI alignment research labs — who are featured on the website’s homepage with working links to their own websites — that even those in the know initially thought it was real, including Kendra Albert, a machine learning researcher and technology attorney, who spoke with The Verge. CAAAC makes fun of the trend, according to Albert, of those who want to make AI safe drifting away from the “real problems happening in the real world” — such as bias in models, exacerbating the energy crisis, or replacing workers — to the “very, very theoretical” risks of AI taking over the world, Albert said in an interview with The Verge. To fix the “AI alignment alignment crisis,” CAAAC will be recruiting its global workforce exclusively from the Bay Area. All are welcome to apply, “as long as you believe AGI will annihilate all humans in the next six months,” according to the jobs page. Those who are willing to take the dive to work with CAAAC — the website urges all readers to bring their own wet gear — need only comment on the LinkedIn post announcing the center to automatically become a fellow. CAAAC also offers a generative AI tool to create your own AI center, complete with an executive director, in “less than a minute, zero AI knowledge required.” The more ambitious job seeker applying to the “AI Alignment Alignment Alignment Researcher” position will, after clicking through the website, eventually find themselves serenaded by Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.”

The AI-powered “Pocket Health” feature shows whether the quarterback is at risk. Amazon’s Prime Video is bringing more AI to the football field with new features designed to give viewers more insight into Thursday Night Football games, as highlighted earlier by Deadline. One feature, called Pocket Health, uses AI to analyze “tens of thousands of data points” across the offensive line during a play, allowing Prime Video to display on-screen visuals indicating the threat level to a quarterback.As Amazon gets ready to air its first game of the 2025 NFL season, it’s also debuting a new set of AI-powered End of Game tools. That includes one that gauges the potential possession scenarios for losing teams, and another that attempts to predict how much time a team would need for a comeback or victory. These features add to the AI tools Prime Video has already adopted for its Thursday Night Football streams, such as Defensive Alerts, which uses machine learning to identify players that could blitz during a play.

The never-ending need for storage in my office and home lab has meant I've built up a considerable stack of loud HDDs in a Synology unit over the years. But it's very noisy even at the best of times, and downright annoying when it decides to optimize things. I've always wanted a better solution inside my office that won't give me a headache, and this wonderful mini PC has given me the answer.

If you're thinking about building your first NAS, or just need to upgrade the storage space for the one that you already own, these Seagate Barracuda drives are going to be right up your alley. They are reliable, durable, and more importantly, on sale for a very limited time, which is going to save you some money. While Seagate has a long list of options, this promotion is going to be for the 16TB and 24TB models, as they drop to their lowest prices.

Microsoft AI launched its first in-house models last month, adding to the already complicated relationship with its OpenAI partner. Now, Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman says the company is making "significant investments" in the compute capacity required to Microsoft's own future frontier models."We should have the capacity to build world class frontier models in house of all sizes, but we should be very pragmatic and use other models where we need to," said Suleyman during Microsoft's employee-only town hall on Thursday. "We're also going to be making significant investments in our own cluster, so today MAI-1-preview was only trained …Read the full story at The Verge.

Earlier today, the FBI shared two blurry photos on X of a person of interest in the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Numerous users replied with AI-upscaled, “enhanced” versions of the pictures almost immediately, turning the pixelated surveillance shots into sharp, high-resolution images. But AI tools aren’t uncovering secret details in a fuzzy picture, they’re inferring what might be there — and they have a track record of showing things that don’t exist.Many AI-generated photo variations were posted under the original images, some apparently created with X’s own Grok bot, others with tools like ChatGPT. They vary in plausibility, though some are obviously off, like an “AI-based textual rendering” showing a clearly different shirt and Gigachad-level chin. The images are ostensibly supposed to help people find the person of interest, although they’re also eye-grabbing ways to get likes and reposts.But it’s unlikely any of them are more helpful than the FBI’s photos. In past incidents, AI upscaling has done things like “depixelating” a low-resolution picture of President Barack Obama into a white man and adding a nonexistent lump to President Donald Trump’s head. It extrapolates from an existing image to fill in gaps, and while that can be useful under certain circumstances, you definitely shouldn’t treat it as hard evidence in a manhunt.Here is the original post from the FBI, for reference:We are asking for the public's help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. 1-800-CALL-FBIDigital media tips: https://t.co/K7maX81TjJ pic.twitter.com/ALuVkTXuDc— FBI Salt Lake City (@FBISaltLakeCity) September 11, 2025And below are some examples of attempted “enhancements.”

In the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting, some political figures are threatening a crackdown on free speech - a cause Kirk claimed to fight for. Members of Congress, the State Department, and President Donald Trump have all attacked people who celebrated Kirk's death online or criticized him while he was alive, in some cases saying they'll use the government's authority to punish statements almost certainly protected by the First Amendment.While it remains unclear who killed Kirk or why at a college campus in Utah Wednesday, Republican political figures all the way up to Trump have threatened retaliation against Dem …Read the full story at The Verge.
