A world that runs on increasingly powerful AI coding tools is one where software creation is cheap — or so the thinking goes — leaving little room for traditional software companies. As one analyst report put it, “vibe coding will allow startups to replicate the features of complex SaaS platforms.” Cue the hand-wringing and declarations that software companies are doomed. Open-source software projects that use agents to paper over long-standing resource constraints should logically be among the first to benefit from the era of cheap code. But that equation just doesn’t quite stick. In practice, the impact of AI coding…

“Unlimited” is a funny term. Unlimited cell phone plans often come with a long list of footnotes, terms, conditions, and exceptions. Mercifully, all of the Big Three cell companies have, by now, ditched throttling on their most expensive plans and include 5G data access in all their unlimited plans. Yet there are still many differences in the services they offer, and there are many differences between each carrier’s various tiers.Cheaper “unlimited” tiers do offer unlimited talk and text. But they still have rules on how much data you get before they start throttling your speed, and some “unlimited” plans may…

Feb 19, 2026, 08:54 AM ETFIGURE SKATING COSTUMES gleam under the lights at Milano Ice Skating Arena at the 2026 Winter Games. With every twizzle, lift and lutz, thousands of sequins and crystals — often Swarovski — bedazzle and glimmer. “It’s not just a little uniform you put on to do your sport. It is literally a piece of art,” says designer Lisa McKinnon, who has crafted costumes for Team USA skaters Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito, among others in Milan. The range of designs, whether Lady Gaga- or Madonna-inspired, an extraterrestrial being or a national landmark, must…

If you’re an iPhone user who likes to keep tabs on where your stuff is, you can’t go far wrong with an AirTag. The second-gen model that Apple just released outpaces the original in every way (aside from the galling lack of a keyring hole, that is). While it’s easy enough to replace the battery in both versions of the AirTag, you might not want to have to worry about the device’s battery life for a very long time. Enter Elevation Lab’s extended battery case for the AirTag, which is currently on sale at Amazon for $16.The case usually sells…

NEW DELHI: Mohammad Amir recently compared Pakistan’s current cricket team with the side from the 1990s. He said the respect Pakistan once commanded has faded.“The Pakistan team in the 90s and the current team has a difference. India used to fear us back then, now they don’t take us seriously anymore. Now, they are not celebrating after taking our wickets and even after winning the match,” Amir said on a Pakistani TV channel.His comments came after Pakistan lost to India by 61 runs in the T20 World Cup. After that match, Shahid Afridi called for major changes in the team.…

Last summer, Bria Sullivan was getting ready to launch her app, an adorable companion called Focus Friend meant to help people manage their screen time. Her outlandish dream was to get 100,000 downloads. She’d been building the app with Hank Green, a creator with a huge audience, so she thought maybe, maybe, Focus Friend could be a top-10 app in the productivity category. Even that felt like a stretch, though. “Our category has ChatGPT, it has Google,” she says. “I mean, productivity includes Gmail!”Sullivan initially dropped the app into the iOS App Store without really telling anyone. But in August,…
