Oil prices spiked after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran over the weekend, threatening an almost immediate jump in gasoline prices as well, experts say.Already, U.S. crude prices gained 6% as of Monday morning.

Many users are switching to Claude following a string of controversies surrounding ChatGPT and its parent company, OpenAI.  The tipping point came after Anthropic, the company behind Claude, refused to allow the Department of Defense to use its AI models for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons. In response, President Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s products, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to designate the company a supply-chain threat.  Hours later, OpenAI announced its own agreement with the Pentagon, claiming to include safeguards, but the deal has still sparked widespread debate over privacy and…

It can also be applied retroactively.The label is meant to help creators comply with years-old requiring clear disclosure of sponsored content. The agency reminding influencers about this requirement in 2017, and a disclosure feature that same year. Without a native tool, X creators had been left to use hashtags like…

We are not using ”cheap” as a pejorative here. Because almost every pan recommended in this piece will likely need replacement after several years, picking a high performer that comes at the lowest price possible is a big benefit. And like so much of Oxo’s gear, the Oxo Pro Ceramic Nonstick Pans are a bargain relative to their quality. They have a slick ceramic nonstick surface out of the box and are easy to maneuver around the stove.What we love: Eggs and pancakes released easily during testing while the handle stayed nice and cool throughout the process. The pan has…

Apple is winning with its latest gadgets over the competition by doing the bare minimum. On Monday, the tech giant dropped its first details about its new iPhone 17e and iPad Air with M4. One thing about both announcements stuck out—mostly because Apple rarely remarks on price. Each new device was “the same starting price” as last year’s model. The iPhone 17e starts at $600, the same as last year’s iPhone 16e. This time, it comes with more base storage—256GB instead of 128GB. It packs in a few extra upgrades as well, including MagSafe charging and improved wireless and cellular connectivity.…

By now, you’re probably already on your second or third read of the top NFL free agents list as we rocket towards the start of the new league year. With the NFL Scouting Combine in our rearview, the drum that will kick off this year’s game of musical chairs will only beat louder. While you may think you know this year’s group frontwards and backwards, there is the likelihood of even more players entering the free agent pool. In conjunction with the new league year, teams will need to be compliant with the salary cap, which means front offices are currently…
