Stability AI, the creator of popular AI art tool Stable Diffusion, was largely victorious against Getty Images on Tuesday in a British legal battle over the material used to train AI models. The case originally looked set to produce a landmark ruling on AI and copyright in the UK, but it landed with a thud and failed to set any clear precedent for the big question dividing AI companies and creative firms: whether AI models need permission to train on copyrighted works.The case, first filed in 2023, is the first major AI copyright claim to reach England’s High Court, though…
Another year brings another iOS update for your Apple iPhone. I’ve been digging through iOS 26 since its earliest versions to bring you loads of new iOS tips and features – and one absurdly tall clock.

Introduction Thin phones are suddenly more popular than a TikTok dance craze, but almost all of them will set you back a considerable amount of cash. The Motorola Edge 70 is the first to break that pattern, sacrificing a few specs to slot more into the mid-range but still staying impressively slim: it measures in at a mere 6mm (or 5.99mm if you want to get pedantic). While both the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge have it licked for outright skinniness, you’ll pay a whole lot less to slip an Edge 70 in your pocket. You’re also getting more storage…
I’ve been as much of a thin phone skeptic as anyone. Why would I give up on camera specs and battery life just to shave a couple of millimeters off a phone’s waistline? I asked pretty much exactly that when I first saw Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year.But the Motorola Edge 70 may have made me a convert. It’s a cheaper take on the S25 Edge or iPhone Air, out now in the UK and Europe for £699 / €799 (around $920), but it “will not be a US device,” according to Nicole Hagen, Motorola’s head of global…
Hello and welcome to Regulator. Happy New York City mayoral election day to everyone who’s voting, watching from afar, or just here for the memes. And happy 35th day of the federal government shutdown, which, as of today, is tied for the longest shutdown in history. But let’s step back for a second, because there’s something these two seemingly unrelated events have in common.Back in 2018, two things were constantly in my social media diet: viral videos from WorldStarHipHop.com of people getting into physical fights, and Donald Trump and MAGA influencers instigating Twitter flame wars. Though the content originated from…
Amazon doesn’t want to be a part of Perplexity’s AI-powered shopping experience. In a post on Tuesday, the ecommerce giant says it has “repeatedly requested” that Perplexity stop allowing its Comet AI browser to buy products for customers, which Perplexity has responded to by accusing Amazon of “bullying.”Perplexity’s AI browser, Comet, currently offers an agentic AI feature that can find and purchase products from various websites — including Amazon — on your behalf. But now, Perplexity says it has received an “aggressive legal threat” from Amazon that demands that it stop allowing its AI assistant to shop for users —…
Nomad has announced updated versions of its Stand One and Stand One Max hubs that now support the Qi2.2 standard for faster wireless charging rates of up to 25W when used with compatible smartphones like the Pixel 10 Pro XL and the iPhone 16 and 17 series. As with previous versions, the new Stand One and Stand One Max are made from a mix of glass and CNC-machined aluminum so they’re both sleek and sturdy. A braided USB-C cable is included, but each requires you to supply your own 40W USB-C charger. According to an FAQ on Nomad’s site, the…

Google has dreamed up a potential new way to get around resource constraints for energy-hungry AI data centers on Earth — launching its AI chips into space on solar-powered satellites. It’s a ‘moonshot’ research project Google announced today called Project Suncatcher.If it can ever get off the ground, the project would essentially create space-based data centers. Google hopes that by doing so, it can harness solar power around-the-clock. The dream is harnessing a near-unlimited source of clean energy that might allow the company to chase its AI ambitions without the concerns its data centers on Earth have raised when it…
Did your Stream Deck sprout a red “Device Not Supported” badge where a button used to be? If so, you were probably using BarRaider’s popular plug-ins, which apparently check to see if StreamDeck.exe is digitally signed — and it just so happens that Elgato’s digital signature expired yesterday (see image below). But as of 5PM ET, closing and re-opening the app should fix it, as long as you log into Elgato’s marketplace first (inside your Stream Deck app) so it can update the plugin.My colleague Richard Lawler and I just checked, and everything’s working smoothly. But also, Elgato’s digital certificate…
