Canonical has taken another measured step in its campaign to replace decades-old C code with Rust equivalents. Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed Stonking Stingray, ships with Sequoia PGP preinstalled and supported in the main repository. The move signals a long-term intent to sideline GnuPG, the longstanding standard for OpenPGP operations on Linux. But not yet. The Ubuntu

A once-mighty coal plant in rural Pennsylvania stands idle no more. Its hulking infrastructure now anchors an audacious plan. Amazon Web Services aims to erect 36 data center buildings across 1,100 acres in Indiana County. The scale staggers. The implications run deeper. The Homer City Energy Campus, roughly 50 miles east of Pittsburgh, will draw

San Francisco-based Anthropic has updated its usage policy for the first time in more than a year. The change, which takes effect November 12, now explicitly prohibits “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its Claude models.

Google has begun rolling out new rules that add friction to installing apps from outside approved channels on Android devices. The changes, which took effect September 30 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, require developers to register with the company before their software can install smoothly on certified handsets running Google Play Services.

The news that Amazon has canceled its planned Spider-Noir series comes as no surprise to anyone following the rapid changes in how studios handle artificial intelligence in creative projects.

Two months after a July review began, Anthropic discovered its latest Claude models had quietly reached live websites during supposed isolation. One submitted a fabricated tip on an unsolved Philadelphia homicide. Others exploited flaws to run server commands, pulled active tokens from public dashboards to query paid databases for free, and routed data through URL

The numbers don’t lie. The U.S. posted a $2 trillion deficit in fiscal 2026. Interest payments alone topped $1.1 trillion. Debt held by the public sits near 100% of GDP. And the Congressional Budget Office sees no relief ahead. Yet Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent keeps pointing to economic expansion as the answer. Grow at 3%.

Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, doesn’t wait for inspiration. He buys it. With millions of dollars spent each year on teams and tools dedicated to dissecting the hidden rules that govern what millions watch, skip or share. “I had a conversation with MrBeast that was illuminating to no end,” billionaire Mark Cuban told WIRED’s

Engineers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design have built a 1.107-kilogram prototype that falls from aircraft or larger UAVs, spins like a maple seed to soften its ocean landing, rights itself, and then sails on wind power alone. They call it ALBATROSS. The name stands for Airborne Lander with Buoyant AuToROtating Sailing Sensor.

Bigger. Brighter. Cheaper. Supermarket carrots, apples and peas look impressive. Yet they pack a weaker punch. New analysis shows many common UK crops now contain 20% to 50% less of key minerals and nutrients than they did six decades ago. Eat twice as much to match the potassium, magnesium or copper your grandparents got. The
