Google has long lured users with 15 gigabytes of free storage shared across Gmail, Drive and Photos. That promise helped build an empire. Now the company appears ready to chip away at it. Early reports from users in Kenya and Nigeria show new Gmail accounts receiving just 5GB unless they verify a phone number. The

A new Gallup poll has laid bare a startling shift in American attitudes toward industrial infrastructure. Seven in 10 adults say they oppose construction of data centers for artificial intelligence in their local area. Nearly half register strong opposition.

Passkeys promise stronger security than passwords. Yet for years they trapped users inside one password manager. Google now appears ready to change that on Android devices. Researchers at Android Authority activated a hidden interface inside Google Password Manager. The new options read “Import passwords & passkeys” and “Export passwords & passkeys.” They work.

The change marks the end of the JavaScript runtime’s reliance on Zig. Version 1.3.14 shipped as the final Zig-based release. Memory leaks had plagued Bun for months. They hit hardest at

Zoey Zhang once found the film industry nearly impenetrable. Hierarchies loomed. Gatekeepers blocked the way. Without funding or connections, breaking through seemed almost impossible, she has said. Then she turned to artificial intelligence. Her animated short earned the Best Visual award at MIT’s 2025 AI Film Hack. That success marked a turning point. It convinced

Google slipped up in early May. The company published an experimental Android app called COSMO to the Play Store under its main account. Then it yanked the listing within hours. What leaked offers a rare look at how Google plans to move artificial intelligence from distant servers onto phones themselves. The app weighed in at

Software engineers at Meta and Amazon find themselves in an unusual spot this spring. Layoffs continue to sweep through their ranks. AI systems trained on their own code and keystrokes threaten to shrink teams further. And public sentiment appears to favor workers who push back. The signs point one way. A fresh piece in Gizmodo

Meta Platforms just gave WhatsApp users a new option. Tap an icon in a chat with its AI assistant. Start talking. The conversation vanishes when you leave. No history. No logs on servers. And, the company insists, no access even for Meta itself. This is Incognito Chat with Meta AI. Announced Wednesday, the feature processes
