“Positive feelings about artificial intelligence outweigh negative ones in 34 of the first 37 countries to complete fieldwork this year in Gallup’s ongoing research with Microsoft… In 25 of the 37 countries surveyed, majorities of AI-aware adults expect AI to improve their daily lives. In 32 countries, optimists outnumber pessimists. Views of AI’s impact on the country are somewhat less positive: Optimists outnumber pessimists in 29 countries, but they only constitute an absolute majority in 18. China stands out, with 93% saying AI will mostly help their country, followed by Vietnam at 91%, Singapore at 77%, Israel at 69% and Nigeria at 68%.

These days, it’s pretty easy to buy old retail console games just by hunting online auction sites. It’s much rarer to come across a disc holding a beta version that was only ever intended for internal us, and yet, that’s precisely what landed in [MattKC’s] hands—a copy of the Beta 3 release of Burnout 3 for the original Xbox. He thus set about the task of investigating the differences to the retail release and preserving the beta for the future.
The first task involved figuring out how to read the disc. Retail Xbox games show up as a DVD Video disc if you put them into a PC, which can complicate reading them. However, being a burnt beta disc for use in an Xbox devkit, this one was a little different....

“In 2025, one in six people aged 16 or older in the EU used tobacco and related products, such as e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches, every day, according to Eurostat. The statistics office said that 20.8% of men smoked every day, compared with 12.6% of women. However, both shares decreased slightly compared with 2022, when 22.2% of men and 13.1% of women smoked daily.” From Euronews.

“Waymo’s commercial robotaxi ramp-up looks expansive, both in geographic reach and in ridership. And by almost every measure, it is — until you pay attention to where the bulk of those robotaxis are actually showing up. The numbers over the past two years reflect the kind of commercial rollout you’d expect from a deep-pocketed company like Waymo, which spun out of Google and still counts Alphabet as its majority owner. In September 2024, Waymo was operating in just three cities — Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Today, it offers robotaxi service in 15 U.S. cities, with most of those commercial launches occurring in the past year. Ridership has skyrocketed, too, with Waymo now averaging...

“Denmark’s central bank more than doubled its growth forecast for this year as surging US sales and production at Novo Nordisk A/S fuel strong exports in the Nordic country’s pharmaceutical industry. Gross domestic product is now expected to grow 4% in 2026, up from a 1.8% forecast in March, Danmarks Nationalbank said Wednesday. The upgrade largely reflects stronger-than-expected growth in the first half, led by the drug industry, as well as better performance elsewhere in the economy, which has remained resilient despite geopolitical and trade turmoil, the central bank said.” From Bloomberg.

Roku’s new OLED TVs are already marked down. | Image: The Verge Roku recently launched its first-ever OLED TVs. The $999 starting price was already impressive for the 55-inch Pro Series model that has a 120Hz refresh rate OLED panel (with four HDMI 2.1 ports and support for Dolby Vision and HDR 10 Plus). The price is even lower right now at Amazon when you enter the code ROKUOLED300 at checkout. It knocks a clean $300 off, as the code indicates, making this the most affordable modern 55-inch OLED you can get right now.

Mark Zuckerberg has a new defense of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses: They're actually doing more to signal they're taking a photo than phones do. He's brought this up in at least two recent interviews, noting that the glasses have a light that comes on to signal when a photo is being taken, while phones do not. In one of the interviews, Joanna Stern notes that, while phones do not always emit a light, someone does have to hold a phone up in the air, which is itself pretty noticeable.
On today's Vergecast, we're talking about Meta Connect, the Muse AI assistant, all the new smart glasses hardware, and Zuckerberg's response to the privacy uproar ar …

One of the questionable limitations of the iPhone 18 Pro's new main camera with a variable aperture is that you're limited to just four settings in the native iOS' camera app in manual mode: f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, and f/4. Those same limitations are also in place when the app is adjusting the iris itself in Auto aperture mode, but it turns out that's not a strict limitation of the iPhone's camera hardware. Apple's SDK allows third-party camera apps to implement more granular control of the aperture.
BlackMagic Design's well-featured and still completely free BlackMagic Camera app for iOS was one of the first third-party options to introduce …

Hitting its goal of making 20,000 Optimus robots per week is reportedly proving tricky for Tesla. The Information reports that Tesla produced "several hundred robots a week" last month, after it repurposed its Model S and Model X production lines for Optimus earlier this year. However, this strategy is reportedly creating manufacturing snags, like issues lining up parts precisely, as The Information notes: "Not only are the Optimus production lines new, but the Optimus parts are much smaller and have to fit together far more precisely than car parts." It reports that even in the "V3" Optimus robots it's currently producing, the hands and f …

This week, Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams had a lot to talk about. From advice for a young hacker to using a laser to break into a microcontroller, there was plenty to cover from the week in Hackaday.
From the “Point/Counter Point” department, there were dueling posts about how big a deal it is for Raspberry Pi to lock out RAM chip swapping. Ever want to do interactive debugging in MicroPython? For intellectual exercise, there’s the physics of raindrops becoming a radar antenna. If you are a history buff, there was even news about World War I codebreaking.

The AI lab had argued multiple violations of its rights, but a divided panel of judges sided with the Trump administration.

Yesterday, with a little prodding, it was discovered that Meta's Muse would expose its filesystem to curious users. The files offered a fascinating peek under the hood of an AI chatbot, and appeared to expose details we weren't meant to see, not least because Muse itself told people, including us, it wasn't supposed to reveal them. But today Muse will eagerly offer up the contents of its file system when you ask for it. That appears to be because, as Meta's Nat Friedman later said, this is the "intended behavior."
In a post on X, Meta Superintelligence Labs' David Singleton elaborated: This was a very deliberate choice - your Muse Secur …

À la veille du 26 septembre, date anniversaire de la proclamation de la république et de l’abolition de la monarchie religieuse dans le Yémen du Nord, les houthistes répriment à nouveau ceux qui veulent résister à leur projet de rétablir un régime fondé sur les privilèges d’une “ascendance au prophète”.

Peu après son arrivée à Paris, vendredi 25 septembre, le souverain pontife a prononcé un discours en français à l’Élysée. Dans un contexte d’affaiblissement du droit international et de polarisation, en France notamment à sept mois de la présidentielle, il a plaidé en faveur d’une “laïcité juste”.

Le président sortant du Brésil, qui a centré sa campagne sur les menaces d’ingérence des États-Unis et de vassalisation de son pays, a obtenu l’autorisation de Bad Bunny pour utiliser sa chanson anticolonialiste “Lo que pasó en Hawaii”. Pour l’occasion, le texte a été adapté à la réalité brésilienne.

Predictions of the future are often laughable when reviewed in the years for which they are made. For example, here in 2026 we neither live on the Moon, nor have flying cars. But sometimes they come closer to the reality than others, and in that the BBC Archive have an interesting offering. It’s a Newsnight feature from 2006 looking at the future of artificial intelligence, and since its main interviewee is none other than Sir Clive Sinclair, it’s worth a second look.
Watching the video it’s a shock to be reminded that 2006 was twenty years ago, as in so many ways it’s close enough to touch. Back then we had laptops with Windows or Linux, we had the Web, and HDTV, as we do today. But as we sat in our...

Reçu en grand pompe à Washington par son homologue Donald Trump, le président chinois Xi Jinping est rentré vendredi à Pékin grand gagnant de ce sommet entre les dirigeants des deux superpuissances de la planète. Sans rien lâcher à son rival, il a obtenu la reconduction de la trêve commerciale jusqu’en janvier, la Chine gagnant de la sorte un temps précieux pour poursuivre sa montée en puissance à bas bruits.

The US government filed an application to support the company’s legal challenge against a fine issued under the bloc’s Digital Services Act, which Trump has described as “overseas extortion.”
