Anker's 3-Port Charger Feels Like a Giveaway, Memorial Day Deal on a Amazon's Best-Seller Going Fast
Needless to say, a super-fast multi-device charger is a real score even when it's full-priced, so this limited-time Amazon deal that drops the price of the Anker Prime charger by 41%, from $85 to just $50, is a must-do. The Anker Prime is a 3-in-1 powerhouse, bringing a total of 100W of charging that can fire up everything from your earbuds to your laptop, and do it three at a time.

Skinny In the Right Places
If you're thinking a 3-port charging block is going to be some sort of monolith that will take up all of your wall outlet space and be next to impossible to use with a charging strip, normally you would be correct. But the Anker Prime is just 1.14 inches wide — 52% smaller than Apple's default 96W MacBook charging block — so it can easily take up just one of those charging strip outlets.
Even at that slender size, the power of the Anker Prime is significant. There are two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and each USB-C port delivers a full 100W charge, enough to bring an M3 MacBook Pro from 0% charge to 50% in only 30 minutes. It's compatible with pretty much every device that charges via USB-C or USB-A, including both Mac and PC laptops, Chromebooks, iPhones and iPads, Android and Google smartphones and tablets, Apple Watches and Galaxy Buds, and many more.
Stable Charging
Since the Prime is an Anker device, you know the charge it delivers to your devices is safe and stable. It's armed with Anker's ActiveShield 2.0 technology that monitors the temperature of your devices over 3 million times per day to ensure nothing is overheating. And the Anker Prime is also stable when you plug it in. Unlike many large and unwieldy charging blocks that are prone to falling out of wall outlets, the Anker Prime is designed with an optimized center of gravity and thicker prongs with a frosted finish to keep it plugged into a wall outlet even when all three charging ports are in use.
You can collect those slow single-port chargers and massive-yet-slow multi-port charging blocks and send them to the recycling center when you take advantage of this limited-time Amazon deal (-41%) on the Anker Prime 100W 3-port charging block. Upgrade your charging station now for just $50 before this del ends.

Pixel 10 tease — Google is having a blast poking fun at Apple's Siri failures
Google will officially announce the Pixel 10 series at the end of August during its next Made by Google event. That hasn't stopped the Mountain View company from teasing its flagship phone line as a mind-boggling number of leaks continue to pour out. On Monday (August 4), Google posted a teaser ad on its YouTube channel that takes digs at Apple over its ongoing struggle to release an updated AI-powered version of Siri. The video is also set to an instrumental version of "The Next Episode" by Dr. Dre, another poke at Apple since the company owns Beats by Dr. Dre. The ad references how Apple announced several Apple Intelligence features and Siri upgrades during WWDC 2024. The rollout of Apple Intelligence has been slow and, in some cases, delayed until 2026. As Google implies, many of its announced AI capabilities are already available in its Gemini AI platform. Meanwhile, regular image leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks on X) teamed up with Android Headlines to share new renders of the Pixel 10 from just about every angle. The leaks show off the phone in the rumored "Frost" colorway kind of a silvery-white. For the most part, the Pixel 10 resembles last year's Google Pixel 9. You'll notice that the camera array is slightly different, largely thanks to the addition of a third camera, making the glass a bit bigger. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It should feature a 48MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide and a 10.8MP telephoto sensor, the same as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It may be hard to tell from the renders, but Google is reportedly keeping the matte finish on the sides and back of the phone, the same as last year's base phone. The Pro models are allegedly sticking to glossy. The phone should have a 6.3-inch OLED display plus the Tensor G5 processor, a 3nm processor made by TSMC. Again, Google is set to announce the Pixel 10 series, where we expect to see the base model, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL Pixel 10 Pro Fold, as well as the Pixel Watch 4. The Pixel 10 is rumored to start at $799 for the 128GB version, with the 256GB variant selling for $899.

Google says its AI-based bug hunter found 20 security vulnerabilities
Google's AI-powered bug hunter has just reported its first batch of security vulnerabilities. Heather Adkins, Google's vice president of security, announced Monday that its LLM-based vulnerability researcher Big Sleep found and reported 20 flaws in various popular open source software. Adkins said that Big Sleep, which is developed by the company's AI department DeepMind as well as its elite team of hackers Project Zero, reported its first-ever vulnerabilities, mostly in open source software such as audio and video library FFmpeg and image editing suite ImageMagick. Given that the vulnerabilities are not fixed yet, we don't have details of their impact or severity, as Google does not yet want to provide details, which is a standard policy when waiting for bugs to be fixed. But the simple fact that Big Sleep found these vulnerabilities is significant, as it shows these tools are starting to get real results, even if there was a human involved in this case. 'To ensure high quality and actionable reports, we have a human expert in the loop before reporting, but each vulnerability was found and reproduced by the AI agent without human intervention,' Google's spokesperson Kimberly Samra told TechCrunch. Royal Hansen, Google's vice president of engineering, wrote on X that the findings demonstrate 'a new frontier in automated vulnerability discovery.' LLM-powered tools that can look for and find vulnerabilities are already a reality. Other than Big Sleep, there's RunSybil, and XBOW, among others.

San Francisco | REGISTER NOW XBOW has garnered headlines after it reached the top of one of the U.S. leaderboards at bug bounty platform HackerOne. It's important to note that in most cases, these reports have a human at some point of the process to verify that the AI-powered bug hunter found a legitimate vulnerability, as is the case with Big Sleep. Vlad Ionescu, co-founder and chief technology officer at RunSybil, a startup that develops AI-powered bug hunters, told TechCrunch that Big Sleep is a 'legit' project, given that it has 'good design, people behind it know what they're doing, Project Zero has the bug finding experience and DeepMind has the firepower and tokens to throw at it.' There is obviously a lot of promise with these tools, but also significant downsides. Several people who maintain different software projects have complained of bug reports that are actually hallucinations, with some calling them the bug bounty equivalent of AI slop. 'That's the problem people are running into, is we're getting a lot of stuff that looks like gold, but it's actually just crap,' Ionescu previously told TechCrunch.

Bullish IPO aims to capture OpenAI-era enthusiasm for high-risk tech
Traders in the stock market can decide next week if they feel 'bullish' about Bullish, as the cryptocurrency exchange announced today it plans to raise as much as $629.3 million in its U.S. initial public offering. The Cayman Islands-based company plans to offer 20.3 million shares for $28 to $31 each when it lists on the New York Stock Exchange. That would mean the company is valued at as much as $4.2 billion, making it the latest digital asset firm to court investors in the stock market. Bullish has applied for the ticker symbol 'BLSH,' and the IPO is expected to price on Aug. 12. The company launched in 2021 as a spin-off of with an initial investment of $10 billion from backers that included Peter Thiel. In 2023, Bullish acquired the crypto media brand CoinDesk. Crypto goes IPO Crypto companies have been a hot spot in what's been a pretty slow IPO market this year—and investors have been more than eager to snatch up shares. Circle Internet Group went public in June, and its shares surged nearly 750% above its IPO price in less than a month. And there's already robust demand for Bullish shares: Funds and accounts managed by BlackRock and ARK Investment Management are separately interested in buying as much as $200 million of shares in aggregate at the IPO price, according to the company's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Bullish offers an interesting read on how far Wall Street has come to embrace crypto assets. The company, which offers crypto spot trading, margin trading, and derivatives trading, notes in its SEC paperwork that institutional investors account for a 'significant' portion of its customer base. Tom Farley, who joined Bullish as CEO in 2023, wrote a letter in the SEC filing documenting his own introduction to digital assets, which began while he was president of the New York Stock Exchange. He recalled that his first lesson in crypto happened on a sunny summer day in 2014 while sitting on his porch with a neighbor who was enthusiastic about joining Coinbase, then a blockchain technology startup. Bullish banks on Trump-era momentum The continued growth of digital assets, which Bullish says have become established as a 'mainstream component of the global financial system,' will be a major driver of business growth, along with other positive trends that include greater adoption by traditional financial institutions and increasing regulatory clarity. Various steps taken by Donald Trump 's administration have helped to invigorate the crypto market, and the president is name-dropped a handful of times in the filing paperwork. While the successful debut of Circle could bode well for Bullish, investors have already cooled on eToro, which went public in May. While eToro shares are still trading above the $52-per-share IPO price, they have fallen nearly 13% from where the stock began trading. Of note, the SEC filing shows that Bullish reported a net loss of nearly $349 million in the three months ended March, compared with a profit of almost $105 million in 2024. And in 2022, the company scrapped an attempt to go public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
