The copper and black HD 505 ($279) are available starting today on Amazon. The HD 505 bear a lot of similarities with their Sennheiser HD 500-series cousins like the HD 560s and HD 599 — a sleek, minimalist design is accompanied by metal mesh earcup covers, ultra-soft ear cushions, and a detachable 3.5mm cable. However, the HD 505 are also a departure in a few areas. Some of…

In its latest attempt to erode the protections of strong encryption, the U.K. government has reportedly secretly ordered Apple to build a backdoor that would allow British security officials to access the encrypted cloud storage data of Apple customers anywhere in the world. The secret order — issued under the U.K.’s Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (known as the Snoopers’ Charter) — aims to undermine an opt-in Apple feature that provides end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for iCloud backups, called Advanced Data Protection. The encrypted backup feature allows only Apple customers to access their device’s information stored on iCloud — not even Apple…
Perplexity’s Super Bowl contest managed to move the needle on its app’s downloads. Unlike OpenAI and Google, the AI search engine chose to forgo an expensive Super Bowl ad in favor of a tweet — sorry, an X post — encouraging users to download its app and enter a contest that could result in a $1 million win. While Perplexity’s app didn’t soar to the top of the U.S. App Store with this strategy, it did increase its mobile app installs by roughly 50%, according to data from app intelligence provider Appfigures. Shared on Friday by Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas,…
All eyes were on French President Emmanuel Macron Sunday at the end of the first day of the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris after he announced a €109 billion investment package (around $112 billion at current exchange rates) in the French AI ecosystem. He reiterated this financial commitment from private partners willing to build data centers in France (mostly) and invest in AI startups (sometimes). According to him, the main reason why international investors are choosing France for their next massive data center project comes down to the country’s oversupply of nuclear energy. “I have a good friend on…
EV charging infrastructure startup Revel secured on Monday a $60 million loan from New York’s clean energy investment fund NY Green Bank to more than triple its current public fast-charging network in New York City. The $60 million loan is a first for NY Green Bank, which has yet to fund EV-charging infrastructure. The fund’s involvement is a signal both that New York is committed to electric vehicles and that debt lenders are beginning to see EV charging infrastructure as a returnable investment. The funding will help Revel build out nine sites across the city that will eventually translate to…
We all come to video games for different reasons. Sometimes we want a chill game to relax to, others a fun co-op experience with a friend, but other times we’re looking for a challenge. Early on in the console generations, difficulty was the norm and it took a lot of trial, error, and skill to even see the end of most games. We still face hard bosses in modern games, but it usually isn’t the entire game that is punishing. There’s an expectation that most people will be able to beat most current and upcoming video games, but not all…
You can download the TikTok app again on Android phones TikTok’s Chinese owner appears to be slow-rolling negotiations for a sale while waiting for a green light from the Chinese government, even as corporate allies of President Donald Trump race to broker a deal to sell the app to an American bidder, according to three people familiar with the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private business transactions. The TikTok app has not returned to the Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store, ever since it went dark in the US with a ban looming over…
