While Hollywood has fake cities for filming movies, the FBI apparently has one for getting hacked. The agency has pulled back the curtain on its Kinetic Cyber Range, a 22,000-square-foot replica small town hidden inside its Huntsville, Alabama campus. But instead of training officers for shootouts or hostage rescues, the facility is designed to simulate realistic cyberattacks on homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure so investigators can practice responding to them in a controlled environment. The FBI built an entire town just to simulate cybercrime The indoor complex includes buildings such as homes, a hotel, a gas station, a courthouse, and…

Every time someone checks out with Apple Pay, trying to tap the card shown on the payment sheet to switch to a different one, they end up getting confused. In iOS 26, that tap does not switch your card. It opens an address-editing screen instead. The real card switcher is a different, easy-to-miss button near the bottom of the screen. If you’ve ever fumbled through Apple Pay at checkout, wondering what’s going on, Apple just fixed it with iOS 27. So what exactly was wrong with Apple Pay’s card switcher? The instinct to tap the card itself makes sense, but…
Facebook and Messenger users were briefly knocked offline Friday morning, with many saying they had been logged out and couldn’t get back in. The Facebook and Messenger outage sent users to X, Reddit, and other platforms to check whether the problem was widespread or tied to their own accounts. Downdetector showed the first visible surge in Facebook complaints around 9:52 a.m. ET. Meta Vice President of Communications Andy Stone posted on X shortly after, saying some people were having trouble getting into Meta services and that it was working on a fix.

Tesla’s driver-monitoring systems are designed to ensure drivers keep their eyes on the road while using Autopilot and other assisted-driving features. But in China, some Tesla owners have reportedly found an unusual workaround: tiny plastic doll heads. According to a recent Wired report, a growing niche market has emerged around figurines and gadgets designed to trick Tesla’s in-cabin camera into believing an attentive driver is sitting behind the wheel. The most popular version involves miniature celebrity heads, often resembling actors or public figures, mounted near the rearview mirror to block the camera’s view of the actual driver. The products have…

A familiar routine often involves decluttering your space, refreshing your habits, and aiming to carry a little less every single day. Most people strive for a lighter setup, yet one item remains a stubborn staple — the power bank. I’ve definitely been there, but it’s not a straightforward pick. They are either too bulky or too inconvenient to carry around, but if I ditch them, I am left with nothing but regret when my battery shows red. For a device meant to provide utter convenience, traditional portable chargers have a knack for creating more friction than they solve. You are…
Dubai, UAE, June 2026: With an estimated 1.2 billion women expected to be menopausal or postmenopausal by 2030 and approximately 47 million women entering menopause each year, health experts are calling for greater awareness of one of the most common yet often overlooked symptoms of menopause, sleep disruption. Despite impacting millions of women worldwide, menopause continues to be surrounded by stigma and remains one of the least discussed areas of women’s health. Sleep challenges, in particular, are emerging as a significant concern. According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), more than 40% of women in perimenopause experience sleep problems, while…
Every time Apple released a new iOS update, people swore their iPhones suddenly felt slower. This rumor has followed Apple for years and while the company always denied it, the suspicion never really went away. With its latest iOS 27 update, I believe Apple has finally put this rumor to rest. I installed the beta on my iPhone Air, but the bigger story is what’s happening on the older models. Reports from people running iOS 27 on even older iPhones say their phones feel faster, not slower. That’s the opposite of what the planned obsolescence crowd has been claiming all…
