Microsoft says these are the AI terms you need to know

Microsoft released its annual Work Trend Index report on Tuesday, which argued that 2025 is the year that companies stop simply experimenting with AI and start building it into key missions.

20 years ago, this simple video rewired the way we share our lives online

The elephant enclosure at your local zoo is an interesting place to be. But until 20 years ago, it was somewhere you’d encounter in person—with reverence and intimacy. A video &ab_channel=jawed">uploaded by YouTube cofounder Jawed Karim 20 years ago today changed that. Karim wanted to test out the capabilities of a new website he and his colleagues had developed—what they called YouTube—and needed content to share with the world. It was

‘It is absolutely crushing to my business’: Trump’s tariffs hit Kickstarter campaigns hard

Curt Covert would love for people to play his latest board game—but with sky-high tariffs, he’s not sure anyone ever will.

“At 54%, I had a plan,” Covert tells Fast Company, referring to a tariff rate on imports from China imposed by the Trump administration in early April. That rate has nearly tripled since. His reponse: “145% brings business to a standstill. It is absolutely crushing to my business.”

How to delete your personal info from the internet for free

For years, Google made it incredibly easy to look up someone’s address, phone number, age, and other personal info.

All you had to do was type in a person’s name and where they live, and you’d get all kinds of details from sites like Whitepages and Spokeo, which pull together that info from public and private sources. Creepy as this is, doing anything about it has always been a slog, and most people never bothered.

Drone near misses hit record high at major airports. Here’s what to know

A month earlier, a jetliner was flying at an altitude of 4,000 feet near Miami’s international airport when its pilots reported a “close encounter” with a drone. In August, a drone came within 5
