  • Trump signs executive order to pause US TikTok ban

    President’s order says temporary pause would give ‘opportunity to determine appropriate course forward’

    Donald Trump has signed an executive order temporarily suspending the sale of the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok, as mandated by a law passed in the US last year.

    Trump’s order was one of a raft signed by the new president on his first day back in the White House. The order instructed Trump’s attorney general not to take any action to enforce the law mandating a sale or closure of the giant social media app in the US for a period of 75 days.

  • ‘It’s a nightmare’: couriers mystified by the algorithms that control their jobs

    From pay shortfalls to being dropped by apps, drivers face a range of issues – often with no way to fix them

    Most days a thicket of couriers can be seen around the McDonald’s in Northern Ireland’s Ballymena, waiting for orders and discussing the mysteries of the systems that rule their working lives.

    This week gig workers, trade unions and human rights groups launched a campaign for greater openness from Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo about the logic underpinning opaque algorithms that determine what work they do and what they are paid.

  • Would you let AI choose your outfits?

    Our writer explores the possibilities, with surprising results…

    My friend walks into the village hall, scene of my son’s third birthday party, a mixture of panic and incredulity creeping across his face. “I didn’t realise we were dressing up,” he says, taking in my outfit. I feel myself blush. I’m wearing a mint-green tulle midi dress with sheer sleeves that balloon precociously and a tiered skirt that puffs out in such a way as to give me the appearance of either a Quality Street or a three-year-old at her own birthday party. It’s not, if I’m entirely honest, the most practical of outfits for serving chocolate cake to 18 sticky-handed toddlers but, as I blurt out to my friend, keen to dispel any confusion, the avant-garde look wasn’t actually my choice: it was AI’s.

    I love quirky clothes. Different cuts, unusual fabrics, bold colours, exciting textures. My wardrobe is my identity, my refuge, my hobby, my happy place. Or, at least, it was. Recently – since having my second baby – I’ve struggled to get dressed. Paralysed by choice, I am beset by decision fatigue every time I approach my (admittedly groaning) closet. With a three-year-old and a six-month-old to wrangle into clobber, too, the overwhelm has joined forces with lack of time. This morning I was hurling clothes at my body while the youngest screamed for his nap. The steady spoliation of my personal style continues apace, now stained with breast milk and squashed banana.

  • Robot packers and AI cameras: UK retail embraces automation to cut staff costs

    From electronic shelf labels to more self-service checkouts, automation is coming to your local supermarket

    Electronic shelf labels, returns machines, robot bag packers and yet more self-service tills – just some of the many technologies that UK retailers are embracing as they try to solve the problem of rising labour costs.

    Investment in automation was a constant drumbeat amid the flurry of festive trading updates from big retailers in the past few weeks, as they face higher staffing bills from April after the rise in the national minimum wage and employers’ national insurance contributions (NICs).

  • AI tool can give ministers ‘vibe check’ on whether MPs will like policies

    Parlex is one of several artificial intelligence systems being developed within the government

    A new artificial intelligence tool can warn ministers whether policies are likely to be very unpopular with their party’s MPs, using a search described as a “parliamentary vibe check”.

    Parlex is one of a suite of AI tools– called Humphrey, after the Yes Minister character – being developed for ministers and civil servants which allow them to predict which topics might cause them difficulty with their own backbenchers, and pinpoint specific MPs who feel passionately about a given subject.

  • ‘Young women can fall pregnant very easily’: inside the wild west of smartphone fertility apps

    Observer analysis finds unregulated products being promoted as contraception despite concerns about their accuracy

    Apps promising to help women “take control” of their sex lives by predicting the days when they are fertile are putting users at risk of unplanned pregnancy by making misleading claims.

    Millions of women in the UK – including 69% of 18-24-year-olds – have used smartphone apps that track their periods. Many also tell them their “fertile window”: the days when they are most and least likely to get pregnant.

  • Signature moves: are we losing the ability to write by hand?

    We are far more likely to use our hands to type or swipe than pick up a pen. But in the process we are in danger of losing cognitive skills, sensory experience – and a connection to history

    Humming away in offices on Capitol Hill, in the Pentagon and in the White House is a technology that represents the pragmatism, efficiency and unsentimental nature of American bureaucracy: the autopen. It is a device that stores a person’s signature, replicating it as needed using a mechanical arm that holds a real pen.

    Like many technologies, this rudimentary robotic signature-maker has always provoked ambivalence. We invest signatures with meaning, particularly when the signer is well known. During the George W Bush administration, the secretary of defence, Donald Rumsfeld, generated a small wave of outrage when reporters revealed that he had been using an autopen for his signature on the condolence letters that he sent to the families of fallen soldiers.

  • The Brutalist and Emilia Perez’s voice-cloning controversies make AI the new awards season battleground

    Two leading contenders for Oscars this year have revealed use of artificial intelligence in the editing suite – will it affect their chances?

    The use of artificial intelligence could become a ferocious battleground during movie awards season, as at least two major contenders were revealed to have used voice-cloning to enhance actors’ performances.

    In an interview with moving-image tech publication Red Shark News, The Brutalist editor Dávid Jancsó said that, in an effort to create Hungarian dialogue so perfect “that not even locals will spot any difference”, Jancsó fed lead actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones’s voices into AI software, as well as his own.

  • MrBeast’s degrading game show is a dystopian nightmare – perfect for America in 2025

    Amazon’s Beast Games reflects the greed, narcissism and worship of aggro-capitalism that has brought us our second helping of Trump

    The YouTube superstar Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson vowed to make his Amazon TV series Beast Games the “biggest reality competition show ever”, and by most metrics, he succeeded.

    A little over halfway through its run, Beast Games has hit No 1 on Amazon in over 80 countries and is now the streamer’s No 1 unscripted show ever, with over 50 million viewers in just 25 days on the platform.

  • Cringing before the tech giants is no way to make Britain an AI superpower | John Naughton

    To realise his dream for economic growth, Keir Starmer must seize the reins of technological power

    Sir Keir Starmer doesn’t do visions. But last Monday he broke the habit of a lifetime in a speech delivered at University College London. It was about AI, which he sees as “the defining opportunity of our generation”. The UK, he declared “is the nation of Babbage, Lovelace and Turing”, not to mention the country “that gave birth to the modern computer and the world wide web. So mark my words – Britain will be one of the great AI superpowers.”

    Stirring stuff, eh. Within days of taking office, the PM had invited Matt Clifford, a smart tech bro from central casting, to think about “how we seize the opportunities of AI”. Clifford came up with a 50-point AI Opportunities Action Plan that Starmer accepted in its entirety, saying that he would “put the full weight of the British state” behind it. He also appointed Clifford as his AI Opportunities Adviser to oversee implementation of the plan and report directly to him. It’s only a matter of time before the Sun dubs him “the UK’s AI tsar”.

  • Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max review: totally maxed out

    Even bigger titanium superphone packs very long battery life and great camera but Apple Intelligence isn’t killer feature

    The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple’s latest superphone, with a massive screen, the fastest chip and the most advanced cameras on an iPhone, ready to be your entertainment powerhouse, if you can squeeze it into a pocket or bag.

    This enormous iPhone comes at an equally huge price. Starting at £1,199 (€1,449/$1,199/A$2,149) the 16 Pro Max tops the iPhone 16 series, towering above the £999 16 Pro and £899 16 Plus, though, at least it comes with double the starting storage of the rest.

    Screen: 6.9in Super Retina XDR (120Hz OLED) (460ppi)

    Processor: Apple A18 Pro

    RAM: 8GB

    Storage: 256, 512GB or 1TB

    Operating system: iOS 18

    Camera: 48MP main, 48MP UW and 12MP 5x zoom, 12MP front-facing

    Connectivity: 5G, wifi 7, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, Thread, USB-C, Satellite, UWB and GNSS

    Water resistance: IP68 (6 metres for 30 mins)

    Dimensions: 163 x 77.6 x 8.25mm

    Weight: 227g

  • iPhone 16 Plus review: Apple’s battery beast

    Enlarged iPhone gains two new buttons, faster chip and better camera, while lasting a long time on a charge

    Apple’s iPhone 16 Plus takes the regular iPhone and adds two things: a much bigger screen and even longer battery life.

    The new plus-sized model has the exact same specs, camera and multiple additional buttons as the vanilla 16, offering the big screen Apple phone experience without blowing the budget on the most expensive 16 Pro Max with its massive 6.9in display.

    Screen: 6.7in Super Retina XDR (OLED) (460ppi)

    Processor: Apple A18

    RAM: 8GB

    Storage: 128, 256 or 512GB

    Operating system: iOS 18

    Connectivity: 5G, wifi 7, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, Thread, USB-C, Satellite, UWB and GNSS

    Water resistance: IP68 (6 metres for 30 mins)

    Dimensions: 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8mm

  • Google Pixel 9 review: a good phone overshadowed by great ones

    Android cuts telephoto camera and high-end AI features for lower price, but ends up a little lost in the mix

    Google’s cheapest Pixel 9 offers almost everything that makes its top-flight sibling one of the best smaller phones available, cutting a few key ingredients to price match Apple and Samsung.

    The Pixel 9 costs £799 (€899/$799/A$1,349) shaving £200 off the asking price of the stellar Pixel 9 Pro while sitting above the excellent value sub-£500 Pixel 8a from May. That pits the new Pixel directly against Apple’s new iPhone 16 and Samsung’s Galaxy S24.

    Screen: 6.3in 120Hz FHD+ OLED (422ppi)

    Processor: Google Tensor G4

    RAM: 12GB

    Storage: 128 or 256GB

    Operating system: Android 14

    Camera: 50MP + 48MP ultrawide, 10.5MP selfie

    Connectivity: 5G, eSIM, wifi 7, UWB, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3 and GNSS

    Water resistance: IP68 (1.5m for 30 minutes)

  • Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold review: the ideal foldable phone design

    Book-style foldable is just like a regular phone when closed but opens to reveal large and bright tablet screen

    Google has cracked the foldable formula on its second attempt by creating a slightly chunkier Pixel 9 Pro that opens up for a large 8in tablet screen on the inside, beating Samsung at its own game.

    Compared with the previous efforts, from the squat and fat passport-shaped Pixel Fold to Samsung’s many long and thin Galaxy Z Folds, the new Pixel’s simple shape seems so familiar and easy to use you wonder why it took so long for anyone to try it.

  • Apple Watch Series 10 review: thinner, lighter and basically the same

    Tenth generation Apple smartwatch gets a bigger screen and body overhaul, but blink and you might miss it

    A larger screen and thinner body mark the biggest change to the Apple Watch in years, but you might have to squint to see it.

    That is because Apple has kept much the same design on the outside despite requiring significant changes on the inside to make the watch thinner and lighter. As a result, the Series 10 feels like another evolutionary, rather than revolutionary step for the Apple Watch’s 10th year.

    Case size: 42 or 46mm

    Case thickness: 9.7mm

    Weight: 30/29.3g or 36.4/35.3g

    Processor: S10

    Storage: 64GB

    Operating system: watchOS 11

    Water resistance: 50 metres (5ATM)

    Sensors: HR, ECG, spO2, air and water temp, depth, mic, speaker, NFC, GNSS, compass, altimeter

    Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3, wifi 4, NFC, UWB, optional 4G/eSIM

  • Apple MacBook Pro M4 review: faster, better and cheaper

    Chip, memory, battery and power upgrades add to laptop’s appeal along with new webcam and Apple Intelligence

    Apple’s upgraded MacBook Pro for 2024 gets a significant power boost with the M4 chip, double the memory as standard, even longer battery life and a price cut, ending the year on a high.

    The longstanding laptop line now starts at £1,599 (€1,899/$1,599/A$2,499), making it £100 or so cheaper than last year’s M3 models. Though still an expensive, premium laptop, it comes with at least 16GB of RAM rather than 8GB, which was an upgrade worth paying extra for on previous models.

    Screen: 14.2in mini LED (3024x1964; 254 ppi) ProMotion (120Hz)

    Processor: Apple M4, Pro or Max

    RAM: 16, 24, 32 or up to 128GB

    Storage: 512GB, 1, 2, 4 or 8TB SSD

    Operating system: macOS 15.1 Sequoia

    Camera: 12MP Centre Stage

    Connectivity: wifi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 3x Thunderbolt 4/USB 4, HDMI 2.1, SD card, headphones

  • Apple iPad mini A17 Pro review: the best small tablet gets faster

    Chip upgrade breathes new life into compact slate ready for AI and better accessories while still in a class of its own

    Apple’s premium tiny tablet gets a speed boost for 2024 with support for new accessories and imminent AI features, while providing the full modern iPad experience in a compact package.

    The revamped design of the iPad mini in 2021 was excellent so it is no surprise that Apple has kept it mostly the same with internal changes and a tweak to the side to support new accessories. But while it may be small in stature, the new iPad mini remains pricey, costing from £499 (€599/$499/A$799), placing it in between the £329 base-model iPad and the £599 11in iPad Air.

    Screen: 8.3in 2266x1488 LCD display (326ppi)

    Processor: Apple A17 Pro

    RAM: 8GB

    Storage: 128, 256 or 512GB

    Operating system: iPadOS 18

    Camera: 12MP rear and selfie cameras

    Connectivity: wifi 6E (5G optional eSim-only), Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, Touch ID

  • Oura Ring 4 review: best smart ring gets comfort and battery upgrade

    Sleek, celeb-favoured gadget tracks sleep, activity and heart health without a smartwatch, but comes at high cost

    Oura’s stylish smart ring worn by celebrities and athletes alike has slimmed down for its fourth iteration, making it easier to put on, more comfortable to wear and last longer between charges.

    The Ring 4 swaps the clear plastic insides of its predecessor for shiny titanium to look even less like a cutting-edge piece of tech on your finger. It still weighs practically nothing – 3.3g to 5.2g depending on size – and comes in an expanded choice of 12 sizes and six finishes, including black, silver, gold and rose gold.

  • Elon Musk stands accused of pretending to be good at video games. The irony is delicious | Keza MacDonald

    Musk desperately wants to appropriate gamer credibility, but he may be faking it – and doing exactly what toxic nerds have been accusing women of doing for decades

    Last year on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Elon Musk claimed to be one of the world’s best Diablo IV players – and surprisingly, the leaderboards backed him up. For those that haven’t had the pleasure, Diablo is one of the most mercilessly time-intensive video games out there; you build a character and carve through armies of demons, spending hundreds of hours refining skills and equipment for maximum hellspawn-cleansing efficiency. I played it for maybe five hours last year and immediately quit, for fear that it would consume my life. Most of the people who play it are young, often male, and have plenty of time to themselves to spend on the internet and playing games – so, the exact demographic of many Musk stans.

    It suited these hardcore gamer guys to believe that someone who tweets all day and runs several businesses was also an elite player who poured hundreds of hours into Diablo. This made him relatable. It fed into his preferred image of being the hardest-working man alive. But then Elon made the mistake of actually playing a game live on X, and it became clear very quickly that something was amiss. It seems Elon Musk might be a fake gamer.

    On 7 January, Musk played Path of Exile 2, a very Diablo-like hack-and-slash game that came out towards the end of last year. His character was extremely well-equipped; suspiciously so. Viewers noted that he had better gear than some of the professional streamers who play this game all day every day, and he didn’t seem to know what their stats meant. I have not played Path of Exile 2 and so I can’t independently assess these claims – unlike Musk, apparently, I am quite happy to admit when I’m not an expert on a particular game – but within a few hours the many inconsistencies in his play and commentary were laid out exactingly on Reddit and in YouTube videos. (He also posted a suspiciously rubbish Elden Ring build back in 2022, which was dredged up as further evidence.) Evidently Musk forgot that we nerds are known for our attention to detail.

  • ‘Inside I was doing the Mario jump’ – how one artist became a key player in Nintendo’s story

    Takaya Imamura worked at Nintendo for 32 years before leaving to create his own game, Omega Six. He shares anecdotes from those pivotal years at the creative giant

    In 1889 in Kyoto, craftsman Fusajiro Yamauchi founded a hanafuda playing card company. He called it Nintendo – a phrase whose meaning is lost to time according to Nintendo’s own historians, but which can be translated as “leave luck up to heaven”. In the 1970s, Nintendo eventually transitioned from paper games to electronic ones, making its own luck in the process. It has been a permanent fixture in living rooms across the world ever since.

    For budding artist Takaya Imamura, an art student who had been captivated by Metroid and Super Mario Bros 3 in the 1980s, working at Nintendo was a dream. “Back in 1985 when Super Mario came out in Japan, everybody was playing it,” he recalls. “I was at an art university, studying design at the time. Back then, game design wasn’t a thing … people didn’t even know what game creators were.”

  • Experience: I’m a world champion Pokémon player

    Chile’s president invited me to the palace and asked to see some of my cards

    I started playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) around 10 years ago, when I was seven. My older brother, Marco, had already been playing with my dad for years. At first, the three of us just played at home. For me, Pokémon TCG is a family activity – it keeps us close. I think that’s important, especially nowadays when everyone is on their phone.

    I’m from Iquique, a city in the north of Chile. We have a strong Pokémon community here, and several local shops host tournaments. The game is two-player, and involves each person preparing a deck of 60 cards – each card represents one Pokémon, with different abilities and powers. You then battle your opponent with your cards; whoever has the more powerful combination of cards is the winner.

  • Squid Game: Unleashed review – a masterclass in missing the point

    Netflix
    The signature games of the TV show – such as Red Light, Green Light – are among the 40+ here, but they’re neither exciting nor competitive

    Squid Game is not a subtle show. It is impossible to misinterpret its very obvious message that the games are bad, and people should NOT be driven to such desperation by a merciless capitalist system that they will murder each other for rich people’s entertainment. I would not be the first to point out that there is some conflict in the fact that we, the viewers, are watching all these competitors get killed for our entertainment, but still: despite the violence, despite the shock value, there is no ambiguity around the narrative intention.

    In this spin-off video game from Netflix, by contrast, the games are not bad. They are supposed to be fun. You run around colourful obstacle courses trying to kill as many of your fellow players as possible to advance yourself to the next round, their cartoon avatars crumpling comically when stabbed or burned or shot only to respawn seconds later. When you win, you get money and tokens to buy new zany outfits for your vacantly smiling character, and then you go again. In this madcap tumble, the message of the TV show is … rather lost. This is a Squid Game adaptation for people who think that Walter White was in fact the hero of Breaking Bad.

  • Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an early contender for 2025’s silliest game

    The latest in the Like a Dragon series of Japanese crime drama is taking an improbably nautical turn – but its makers want you to know that it’s still got heart

    In May last year, an anonymous forum poster shared details of what they claimed would be the next game in the Like a Dragon series, the Japanese gangster drama with a unique spirit of melodrama and ridiculousness. It would star the series’ most theatrical, violent villain, Goro “Mad Dog” Majima, as a pirate with amnesia, and it was called Project Madlantis. This leak went under the radar, quite possibly because it sounded so silly that nobody would believe it. But then, at 2024’s Tokyo Game Show in September, Sega surprised everyone by announcing exactly this. It is called Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. That’s it. That’s the game.

    Madlantis sounds like a theme night at a noughties student bar, but is in fact the game’s pirate hub, a nautical Vegas where captains battle and bet on each other in coliseum face-offs. Ships are outfitted with cannon and pistols, but also machine guns and rocket launchers. Sailing the seas around Hawaii, avoiding lightning strikes during storms, Captain Majima can let go of the wheel of the ship and heft an RPG on to his shoulder to blow up an enemy craft. Boarding another vessel results in a fight between crews, which, given all the tricorn hats and outlandish costumes, looks like a punch-up between a bunch of extras from an 80s music video.

  • Nintendo announces its next console, the Switch 2

    A larger screen, redesigned snap-off controllers and a new Mario Kart make an appearance in a reveal trailer

    Nintendo has announced its long-awaited successor to the 150m-selling Switch console, called the Nintendo Switch 2. It will be out later in 2025.

    The first Nintendo Switch debuted on 3 March 2017, and pioneered the hybrid console: it can be played both on the move, with its snap-on controllers, and at home, connected to a TV. The Switch 2 follows the same model, with a larger screen and bigger, redesigned controllers that attach magnetically to its sides. The controllers can be used like a mouse, or held in the hands like a traditional joypad, and also have motion-control functionality.

She told BBC Radio 4 that she did not think Nick Clegg left Meta, where he was president of global affairs, because of the change, adding she knew he would agree with her
