Ro Khanna (D-CA) is calling for a treaty between the US and China to keep AI from wreaking havoc on the world. But wrangling leaders in both countries to take action could be a long shot.In letters shared exclusively with The Verge, Khanna - the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on China and a possible presidential contender - asked a US intelligence agency and Chinese AI companies whether they would be prepared for an incident like OpenAI agents' hack of Hugging Face this summer. The companies included DeepSeek, Alibaba, and Moonshot AI, all of which …Read the full story at The Verge.

The Headphone 1 Pro flagship headphones keep Nothing’s aesthetic while adding some surprises. | Photo: John Higgins / The Verge Nothing has been on a bit of an audio tear this year, releasing the solid Headphone A and the surprisingly good Ear 3A earbuds. The Headphone A released at $199, while the earbuds are under $100, leaving room for something fancier. That something is the Nothing Headphone 1 Pro, the company's new $399 flagship over-ears that surprised me with everything they offer. They include what you'd expect from a pair of flagship headphones, such as active noise cancellation (ANC), multiple sound profiles, and easy-to-use controls. They also have a few things you might not: a triple-driver design, Auracast, and something I've never seen before: a Flat E …Read the full story at The Verge.

A little while ago, Google shook up the scene by announcing it would no longer produce ChromeOS devices. Instead, it was moving toward Googlebooks, which trades the Chromebook's affordability for raw on-board AI processing power. Fortunately, there is good news for Chromebook fans, as the company has revealed that it will continue supporting ChromeOS for another eight years.

Most editing tools worth your while come with a subscription attached, unfortunately. And now that most of them are AI-powered, it's used to justify increased pricing and more paywalls. There's also the issue of your work sitting on servers you don't own. Photoshop's Generative Fill is processed on Adobe's cloud servers, with each generation pulling a credit from a monthly allotment tied to your plan. Canva does something similar with its one-click background remover, which isn't on the free tier and only comes with Pro.

John Ternus, Apple's new CEO, wants Apple to launch products more often than its usual splashy moments in the fall and the spring, according to a Bloomberg report detailing some of Ternus's initial plans for the company.Apple regularly holds iPhone launch events in September and often announces products later in the year and in springtime, but "Ternus has indicated that Apple must introduce products more quickly and become more experimental to remain competitive in the artificial intelligence era," Bloomberg says. The shift may not happen right away given Apple's "long-established" development practices. Apple is rumored to have a consider …Read the full story at The Verge.

The Snipping Tool on Windows is one of the most useful built-in apps Microsoft makes. I never used to touch it, but since it got modernized in Windows 11, it's become a very solid option for taking screenshots and recording my screen. Occasionally, though, it can become buggy and not work as intended, so I set out to replace it.

I’ve been a fan of Proxmox ever since I first used it with my first ever home server, and my admiration for this virtualization platform has only grown with each passing update. That said, I’m always looking for cool alternatives to try out, and I’ve already gone through everything from popular platforms like ESXi, XCP-ng, Unraid, and Windows Server 2019 to Harvester, ZimaOS, and other obscure PVE rivals.

As Anthropic gears up for its greatly anticipated public debut, a preview of the company's IPO filing reportedly details its mounting losses, leadership proposals to retain power, and how its AI development plans could "further increase the risk that our models cause harm." These disclosures come as Anthropic eyes a $2 trillion valuation, more than double the $965 billion it was valued at four months ago, making it a contender to overtake SpaceX as the largest IPO in history.According to Reuters, which reportedly reviewed Anthropic's prospectus, the AI startup plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and infrastructure obligations …Read the full story at The Verge.

For weeks, I had been plagued by random crashes in one of my favorite games, and nothing about my system had changed. The symptoms of these crashes would vary between full system lockups, a sudden game freeze and closure, and even BSODs. Because nothing about my system had changed, I figured it was just the game itself acting up, but then the crashing started happening during desktop tasks as well, and I knew the cause was something deeper.

You hear it all the time: Modern cars are basically smartphones on wheels. And just like the phone in your pocket, the car in your driveway collects vast amounts of data - tracking where you drive, how fast you accelerate, how hard you brake, how aggressively you turn, and much more.The legality of this data harvesting remains hotly debated. Last year, the Federal Trade Commission penalized General Motors for illegally collecting and selling precise location and driving behavior data without informed consent. Other automakers, like Ford and Honda, have faced minor fines for making it overly difficult for customers to opt out. While industr …Read the full story at The Verge.

Vibe coding tools have made building small apps pretty easy and more accessible than ever. All it takes is writing a prompt, technically. But I'd argue that the workspace you're in matters more than the ideas you have, because you'll eventually need to learn how to iterate, what a codebase is, and potentially how to publish your build. And the vibe coding tool you're using determines the quality of this experience.

It's always fun to see how people get old games running on new hardware; just look at all the different ways people got Doom running on devices. But what if you did the reverse and got a newer game running on older hardware? One YouTuber has slowly been making their way through Nintendo's retro consoles, and this time, they got Super Mario 64 running off a SNES.
