It’s the early hours of Monday, May 26. An airstrike that Israel says is aimed at a militant control center has just hit a former school where dozens of families were sheltering. Eighteen children were killed in the attack, according to the local emergency services. And this scene — — of a girl trying to escape the flames is about to become a new symbol of the war’s toll on Gaza’s youngest. We interviewed witnesses and obtained unpublished video of the aftermath of the attack. And we found the girl. Her name is Hanin al-Wadie. The 5-year-old survived but lost…

If you don’t know where to start—and use—your HP coupon code, there’s a wide variety of options available at HP.com in terms of budget and use case, but my eye goes first to the high-end HP Omen gaming monitors, like the fantastic HP Omen Transcend 32. This 4K 240Hz monitor is a favorite among PC gamers, even among the huge amounts of OLED options out there. It can hit a peak brightness of over 1,000 nits in HDR, bringing scenes in games to life in vivid detail.Or if you’re on the other side of the budget spectrum and just need…

Wait though … Perplexity—like other AI search engines—has been criticized for hallucinating and getting things wrong.We welcome this criticism, because it’s the best way for us to continually improve. In reality, errors account for a small fraction of results, and our answers are far more accurate than 10 blue links polluted by decades of SEO-optimized content. [In response to a follow-up request, Perplexity did not provide further details on error rates, but Jesse Dwyer, a spokesman, said that reliability is improving constantly]. But the fact is, accuracy and trust will only become more important as AI integrates into more of…

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools. The Home Depot smell is buried deep in my childhood, filed somewhere between “building a deck” and “first day of spring.” Anyway, the Home Depot…

In a world constantly in flux, leading a team can be challenging. Yet, in a Deloitte study, 81 percent of respondents ranked the ability to lead through complexity and ambiguity as the most important skill for 21st-century leaders. The same study found that new technologies, the pace of change, and evolving employee and customer demographics and expectations are considered the top reasons leadership today requires a unique skill set. One competency that can help you excel in an ever-changing world is the ability to build, manage, and lead dynamic teams. Here’s a primer on dynamic teaming, why it’s crucial for…

Hundreds of emails and internal documents reviewed by WIRED reveal top lobbyists and representatives of America’s agricultural industry led a persistent and often covert campaign to surveil, discredit, and suppress animal rights organizations for nearly a decade, while relying on corporate spies to infiltrate meetings and functionally serve as an informant for the FBI.The documents, mostly obtained through public records requests by the nonprofit Property of the People, detail a secretive and long-running collaboration between the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD)—whose scope today includes Palestinian rights activists and the recent wave of arson targeting Teslas—and the Animal Agriculture…

Compromise isn’t great for your principles but it’s essential for portable Bluetooth speakers. JBL’s Flip strikes the perfect compromise between mobility and sound quality, offering clean detail with plenty of punch in a durable, droppable, and utterly portable package. The Flip 7 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) provides new goodies like increased water resistance, an easy-release strap, and a two-hour battery boost (or four with reduced bass).The latest Flip also supports Auracast to sync with other new JBL models like the Clip 5 and Charge 6. Auracast may provide future connectivity benefits, but it leaves the latest speakers unable to connect with…

The MSI Titan is not for the faint of heart—it never has been. It’s an 18-inch behemoth, fitting into that “desktop replacement” class of gaming laptop. This one in particular is meant for PC gamers who want not just top performance but also some bling.You’ll be hard-pressed to find a gaming laptop with this many high-end features. With a mini-LED display, a mechanical keyboard, and an invisible haptic touchpad, there’s no other 18-inch gaming laptop like it, and that means a flashy price too.Big and BeautifulThe MSI Titan is massive. It’s 1.26 inches thick at its largest point and weighs…

Using an Eero mesh system without the Eero Plus subscription limits you to a basic set of options. You can schedule Wi-Fi downtime, set up a guest network, and use your Eero as a smart home hub. That might be enough for most, but here’s what you get if you subscribe. First, it’s worth noting that Eero used to offer a two-tiered subscription. Eero Secure was $3 per month or $30 per year and included advanced security, content filtering, ad-blocking, activity insights, and VIP support. Eero Secure+ was $10 per month or $100 per year and added third-party apps 1Password…

Honorable MentionsAeezo 9-inch frame $90: This frame will do the job, but the app—the Frameo app, rather than a dedicated Azeeo app, which we’ve seen on other cheap frames as well—isn’t nearly as streamlined as pricier counterparts. They’re better that other cheap options we’ve tested, but, like Cozyla, they cross the $100 threshold. If you can spend a little more, the $150 Aura Carver is a much better buy.Aura Mason for $199: This was the big original favorite from Aura, with a solid frame and the ability to rotate between landscape and portrait mode. It’s still a great frame, but…
