Amazon refreshes Kindle with aluminum, faster page turns, and a $35 Bluetooth remote (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What just happened? Amazon is refreshing its Kindle lineup ahead of the e-reader's 20th anniversary in 2027. The new Kindle, Paperwhite, and Colorsoft bring slimmer bodies, faster page turns, and optional aluminum construction. Physical page-turn buttons are also making a comeback, though Amazon would prefer you buy a new accessory for those. The entry-level Kindle retains a 6-inch screen but gains a flush front, eliminating the raised bezel around the previous model's display. It measures 6.8mm
A man could face a decade in prison for a fake crocodile photo he made with Gemini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WTF?! Some people love to generate AI slop images that spread false information, especially the kind that make people worry. That's not a good idea if you're in Singapore, where a man who used Gemini to make a fake image of a crocodile in a popular reservoir has been charged over the act and could face up to ten years in prison.

In yet another move highlighting the military's evolution toward a future in which machines do the fighting, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the creation of a new military command designed to expand the use of autonomous and robotic capabilities across the US armed forces. It's called the Autonomous Warfare Command, or the slightly sinister AutoWarCom. Hegseth announced the initiative during his September 30 State of the Force address at Quantico, Virginia. A fou
G.Skill wins customer's lifetime loyalty after replacing a $150 open-box eBay RAM kit now worth $1,199 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a nutshell: There's been a depressing trend recently in which hardware companies refuse warranty claims for questionable reasons – or refund the customer's original purchase amount – as a result of their products' prices skyrocketing. But it seems not every firm is being greedy. One person has praised G.Skill for replacing a 64 GB DDR5 RAM kit bought from eBay for $150 with a brand-new kit worth $1,199. According to Redditor Double-South8863, one of the RAM sticks from their Trident Z5 64 GB
