DJI’s Mic 2 All-in-One System includes two wireless microphones, a receiver, and a charging case, letting you capture professional-sounding video and podcast recordings while interviewing people, creating vlogs, and even live streaming. Both transmitters record internally in 32-bit float, giving you extra-wide dynamic range that protects against distortion if someone laughs or yells unexpectedly. The DJI Mic 2 has a range of 250 meters in open space. You c

Everyone wants in on the resurgence of wired earbuds and headphones, and that “everyone” now includes Bose. For $100, a hefty premium over Apple’s enduringly popular $20 EarPods, you can get wired buds with Bose branding on them for the first time in over a decade. Beyond that branding and the quality of audio it connotes, these wired earbuds have one thing that lots of other wired earbuds don’t. Whether you find Bose’s wired earbuds worth the relatively l

Project 2029, the small liberal group founded to create a roadmap for any Democrat who takes the White House in the 2028 presidential election, announced its first policy proposal on Monday. While the Democratic base is calling for things like Medicare for All and for every Trump official to be tossed into prison, Project 2029 has a different idea. They want to ban kids from social media. Project 2029 announced the new proposal, dubbed “Kids Over Clicks,”

Supermicro is a legitimate hardware company based in San Jose, California that nonetheless has a long list of brushes with legal controversy. And today, according to Bloomberg, it had its Taiwan office and about eight other locations raided as part of a U.S. federal case over alleged AI chip smuggling—or to put it another way, noncompliance with U.S. export controls. Shares closed down about 8% if you care about that sort of thing. Bloomberg notes that the

OpenAI and the mechanical keyboard company Work Louder are up to something on July 15, according to a vaguepost from the OpenAI Developers X account: Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade. July 15th. pic.twitter.com/xZ1ydZyt94 — OpenAI Developers (@OpenAIDevs) June 29, 2026 Vibe coding and mechanical keyboards are two hopelessly dweeby tastes that combine beautifully, like Celsius and peptides. So it’s only natural that OpenAI would release

Most of us have at one point or another had a dream in which we were unable to speak or move; to wake up from such a nightmare—and to recall what it’s like to be able to freely use your voice—feels like a liberation. Now, Meta says it’s getting closer to helping people who actually live with this paralyzing condition to communicate through the use of brainwave-decoding AI. On Monday, the company introduced Brain2Qwerty v2, its latest effort to translate no

The era of artificial intelligence could be a boon for entrepreneurs—not for using AI to build a business noecessarily, but because enterprising thieves can jack some equipment from the build site and flip it for a quick buck. That was the plan of some thieves in Illinois who, unfortunately for them, got caught with more than $300,000 worth of copper wire spools swiped from a data center facility hundreds of miles away, according to a report from Business

AI developers today face a dual challenge: build state-of-the-art models that deliver big benefits at the lowest possible cost, and do so in a way that won’t attract the ire of the federal government. Anthropic—which knows that ire better than any other company in Silicon Valley—has tried to thread that two-eyed needle with its latest model, Claude Sonnet 5. Released on Tuesday, the new model is designed to balance agentic capability with frugality. Its pe

Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which owns Starlink satellite internet service, is offering 50% off internet plans around Memphis, Tennessee, according to a statement the company posted online Tuesday. The company didn’t specifically explain why it’s offering the discount, but it might have something to do with community anger over data centers owned by xAI, which SpaceX purchased earlier this year. The company did note that it owns data centers in Memphis and nearby

Oracle was founded all the way back in 1977 as an enterprise software company. Since then, it has transformed into a cloud services giant. These days, it is trying to become one of the most important players in AI data centers. Now, Oracle itself is warning investors that this next act comes with some huge risks. The tech giant filed its annual report late in June, and it includes a long list of ways its massive AI infrastructure bet could fail to pay off.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp gave an extremely high-energy interview to CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday, with his arms flailing as he ranted about everything from politics to Israel to AI. He also referred to past public appearances where people have speculated that he was on drugs. Karp started the interview by criticizing the frontier AI companies like Anthropic and their fixation on customers paying for individual tokens, something that the Palantir CEO says

It was only a matter of time. Elon Musk, inveterate inventor and the erstwhile world’s first trillionaire, is reportedly working on a smartphone-like device designed to facilitate communication between humans and AI. If that last sentence confused you, you’re in good company: Almost nothing is known about the mysterious device, which first surfaced in a report Wednesday afternoon from The Wall Street Journal. According to the paper, the device is being bui

You know the old adage: Those who can, do; those who can’t, rent their space to those who can. According to a report from Bloomberg, Meta is considering getting into the cloud computing business, renting out its infrastructure to other companies that want access to computing power for their AI operations, as the company continues to struggle to get its own model to compete with the frontier labs. Per Bloomberg, Meta is exploring two primary potential arran

Central bankers are some of the most powerful people in the world, and we should all pay attention to what they’re saying and hearing. With that in mind, I have troubling news. According to Reuters’ Wednesday report from the European Central Bank’s annual meeting in Sintra, Portugal, AI is being talked about like a thousand-mile-wide UFO hovering above Europe. According to Reuters, nearly every time anyone had a conversation, AI came up. Quotes collected b

As I’ve written before, part of the reason AI news is such a mess right now is that what AI companies are and aren’t allowed to do is not clear. But a voluntary deal with Big AI is reportedly in the works that might smooth things out significantly (Your mileage may vary on whether or not that’s a good thing). According to the Financial Times, “as early as next week” the Trump Administration and several major U.S. frontier AI companies are expected to annou
