• How to cancel Windscribe and get your money back

    January 29, 2026

    Windscribe isn’t a VPN for everybody, and it’s not trying to be. Despite its high-achieving free plan, it didn’t quite make my list of the best VPNs, largely due to alienating interface choices and swingy download speeds. Its iconoclastic approach to everything from design to pricing to its online knowledge base will likely win some customers for life and turn others off. For those in the latter camp, I’ve written up this guide for cancelling Windscribe. Follow the instructions below to stop Windscribe from auto-renewing, cancel third-party subscriptions, delete your account altogether and get a refund. The most important thing…

  • Elon Musk teases a new image-labeling system for X… we think?

    January 29, 2026

    Elon Musk’s X is the latest social network to roll out a feature to label edited images as “manipulated media,” if a post by Elon Musk is to be believed. But the company has not clarified how it will make this determination, or whether it includes images that have been edited using traditional tools, like Adobe’s Photoshop. So far, the only details on the new feature come from a cryptic X post from Elon Musk saying, “Edited visuals warning,” as he reshares an announcement of a new X feature made by the anonymous X account DogeDesigner. That account is often…

  • Hyundai Kona skipping facelift, next generation due in 2028 – report

    January 29, 2026

    A facelift for the Hyundai Kona SUV – the Korean brand’s best-selling model in Australia – has reportedly been cancelled, with the company skipping it in favour of bringing the next generation to showrooms sooner. Reports from The Korean Car Blog say the automaker won’t bring any further updates to the current ‘SX2’ Kona small SUV, which counts the Toyota Corolla Cross and Nissan Qashqai among its rivals. It was the best-selling model for Hyundai Australia in 2025, and the best-selling small SUV, beating the Chery Tiggo 4 and MG ZS. The current, second-generation Kona went on sale in Australia…

  • French Ubisoft workers vote to strike

    January 29, 2026

    When deciding which video game to buy, “Is it fun?” is no longer the only consideration. Given the state of the industry, “Do I want to support this company?” is arguably more important. Take, for example, Ubisoft, where things seem to unravel more each day. After the floundering publisher floated even more layoffs this week, workers at its Paris headquarters said, “Enough is enough.” They’re now calling for a three-day strike. Unions representing Ubisoft employees plan to strike from February 10 to 12. “With management being stubbornly entrenched in its authoritarian ways, we are calling Ubisoft employees across France to…

  • Mark Zuckerberg says a future without smart glasses is ‘hard to imagine’

    January 29, 2026

    Mark Zuckerberg spoke about his ambitions for Meta’s AI smart glasses business during Meta’s Q4 2025 earnings call on Wednesday. After pivoting its Reality Labs investments away from the metaverse, Meta is doubling down on its production of AI wearables, as well as its own AI models. “Billions of people wear glasses or contacts for vision correction. And I think that we’re at a moment similar to when smartphones arrived, and it was clearly only a matter of time until all those flip phones became smartphones,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s hard to imagine a world in several years where most glasses…

  • 2026 Ineos Grenadier update brings revised steering, special Black Edition

    January 29, 2026

    The 2026 Ineos Grenadier 4×4 off-roader has been updated with an expanded lineup including a new Black Edition, as well as steering and cabin tweaks across the range. All Grenadiers receive a new variable-ratio steering box that the automaker says delivers improved precision and responsiveness. The update is also claimed to deliver a five per cent smaller turning circle, with revised lock-stops designed to improve slow-speed manoeuvrability both off-road and around town. The new Grenadier Black Edition costs an additional $2000 over the Fieldmaster model grade on which it’s based, and starts at $122,000 before on-road costs in either wagon…

  • Google brings its Nano Banana image generator to Chrome

    January 29, 2026

    Following its recent AI makeover of Gmail, Google is bringing more Gemini-powered tools to Chrome. Starting today, a host of new features are rolling out for the browser, with more to come over the next few months. The first of the new features is a sidebar. Available to all Gemini in Chrome users, the interface allows you to chat with Gemini and keep a conversation going across multiple tabs. Google suggests the sidebar is useful for multitaskers. “Our testers have been using it for all sorts of things: comparing options across too-many-tabs, summarizing product reviews across different sites, and helping find…

  • Tesla is killing off the Model S and Model X

    January 29, 2026

    Tesla is ending production of the Model S sedan and Model X SUV, CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday during the company’s quarterly earnings call. The company will make the final versions of both electric vehicles next quarter, he said, adding that his company will offer support for existing Model S and Model X owners “for as long as people have the vehicles.” “It’s time to basically bring the Model S and X programs to an end with an honorable discharge, because we’re really moving into a future that is based on autonomy,” he said. “So if you’re interested in buying…

  • How to Design Self-Reflective Dual-Agent Governance Systems with Constitutional AI for Secure and Compliant Financial Operations

    January 29, 2026

    In this tutorial, we implement a dual-agent governance system that applies Constitutional AI principles to financial operations. We demonstrate how we separate execution and oversight by pairing a Worker Agent that performs financial actions with an Auditor Agent that enforces policy, safety, and compliance. By encoding governance rules directly into a formal constitution and combining rule-based checks with AI-assisted reasoning, we can build systems that are self-reflective, auditable, and resilient to risky or non-compliant behavior in high-stakes financial workflows.

  • Tesla kills the models that put it on the map to make room for robots

    January 29, 2026

    The Tesla Model S and Model X, arguably more so than the niche Roadster, cemented the US electric vehicle (EV) maker’s status as a high-tech disruptor brand. They’re now being axed. The large, luxurious liftback and crossover SUV duo, long its most premium vehicles, will exit production this year. Tesla CEO Elon Musk made the announcement during the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call, with the company also confirming a three per cent drop in total revenues in 2025 to US$94.8 billion (~A$135bn). The company has also confirmed its global deliveries fell by 8.6 per cent in 2025 to 1,636,129 vehicles.…
