Luxury cars have always been a tricky buy. They’re often expensive to keep running once the warranty ends, and their resale values can drop fast thanks to complicated tech and questionable long-term reliability.

Apple introduced its lowest-priced MacBook yet last week: the $599 MacBook Neo (which is $499 for anyone who claims the Apple education discount.) But the company is working on new products at the pricier end of the spectrum too.

Apple will likely call this line "Ultra", According to a new report from Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman. As Gurman points out, the company already has a number of high-end items that bear this name — including the Apple Watch Ultra, CarPlay Ultra and its Ultra chips, the company's most expensive chipset.

The iPhone Fold, the next generation of AirPods, and the touchscreen MacBook would all be products in the "Ultra" line, Gurman says.

It's possible that Apple won't go with the Ultra name, Gurman notes, but they are working on a line of high-end products — above and beyond its current premium products, the iPhone Pro and the MacBook Pro.

All three products are expected to carry a premium price, even for their base models. For example, Apple's forthcoming foldable smartphone, the iPhone Fold, which Gurman says could carry the "Ultra" name, is expected to launch at a starting price of around $2,000.

The next-generation AirPods will reportedly include "computer-vision cameras" so that Siri can use visual data for its AI assistant feature. Gurman believes these AirPods could carry the "Ultra" name, and they would certainly be a higher-end product than the current AirPods Pro.

Meanwhile, Apple may present its long-rumored touchscreen MacBook as a separate entity from the MacBook Pro line of laptops. Gurman reports that they could opt for the Ultra name or call the touchscreen MacBook something different, but the point remains: Apple appears to want the touchscreen MacBook alongside the MacBook Pro, not as a replacement.

According to Gurman, the touchscreen MacBook may be priced even higher than the recently announced M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models. The M5 Max MacBook Pro currently has a starting price of $3,599.

There is reportedly debate within Apple about whether to manufacture a foldable iPad. A high-end "Ultra" version of the iMac is also under discussion. All of which fits Apple CEO TIm Cook's strategy of multiple pricing tiers for proven products, in order to capture the entire spectrum of its market — the MacBook Neo being proof that this strategy is in progress.

Anthropic's AI app, Claude, is surging to the top of global download charts — while the company wages a legal battle against the Pentagon for designating it a national security risk.

In a complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Anthropic claims the federal government launched an unprecedented campaign against the company after it stood by its safety restrictions. Anthropic says it doesn't want its AI to be used for lethal autonomous warfare or mass surveillance of Americans.

"Anthropic brings this suit because the federal government has retaliated against it for expressing that principle," the complaint states. "When Anthropic held fast to its judgment that Claude cannot safely or reliably be used for autonomous lethal warfare and mass surveillance of Americans, the President directed every federal agency to 'IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology.'"

The fallout has been swift and wide-ranging. The General Services Administration terminated Anthropic's government-wide contract. The Treasury Department, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the State Department, and other government agencies announced they were cutting ties with the company.

Yet the controversy appears to have done little to dampen public enthusiasm for Anthropic's products. If anything, users are more enthusiastic now Anthropic is going head to head with the Trump administration.

The company says it is now adding more than one million new users every day globally — breaking its own signup records every day since the dispute erupted.

Claude currently holds the top spot on Apple's App Store in 16 countries, surpassing both OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini in more than 20 markets, according to data from AppFigures.

The lawsuit marks the culmination of mounting tensions between Anthropic and the Department of Defense, which the Trump administration calls the Department of War. The company had a major contract that made its generative AI systems the most used across the Pentagon.

That relationship unraveled when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed to dramatically expand AI's role throughout the military, and wanted unrestricted access to AI technologies. The effort required every AI company with Pentagon contracts to renegotiate its agreements.

But because Anthropic had become the military's dominant AI provider — with Claude reportedly the only advanced model allowed to operate on classified systems — the company found itself at the center of a contentious standoff with Hegseth and Trump.

The breakdown was as much about clashing personalities as competing principles, according to the New York Times. Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael, a former Uber executive, grew increasingly frustrated with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei throughout weeks of negotiations.

As talks deteriorated, Michael began negotiating a fallback deal with OpenAI — a company whose CEO, Sam Altman, had been actively courting the Trump administration. Hours after the Pentagon's deadline passed without a deal, Altman announced that OpenAI had reached an agreement with the Defense Department.

The lawsuit argues the government's actions — including Trump's directive ordering every federal agency to immediately stop using Anthropic's AI, and Secretary Hegseth's designation of the company as a supply chain risk — violate the First Amendment, as well as the Fifth Amendment's due process protections, and the Administrative Procedure Act.

Anthropic's filing notes that the supply chain risk label has historically been reserved for foreign companies believed to pose a threat to national security. It has never before been applied to an American firm. The company is asking the court to declare the government's actions unlawful, and to issue a permanent injunction blocking their enforcement.

The start of a new week on Netflix means there are several high-profile movies now streaming on the service. The one with the most buzz is War Machine, a new action movie starring Reacher's Alan Ritchson. The sci-fi thriller is about a group of soldiers who face an otherworldly threat that crash-lands on Earth. With Ritchson at the helm, War Machine is a fast-moving action movie that packs a punch.

I’ve definitely wondered if my specific brand of horny was actually “normal.” As it turns out, the concept of "normal" is basically an illusion. That is the main takeaway from the hookup app Feeld's new "State of Reflections: Am I Normal?" report, which found that 42 percent of mainstream, non-Feeld daters actually practice kink.

Coinciding with the report, which "explores the gap" between what society labels as "normal" and what people really desire, Feeld launched an interactive quiz called Reflections to help you map out your own preferences. The tool was developed with researchers at the Bodies, Identities, Intimacies, and Technologies (BIIT) Lab at the University of Michigan, and you don’t need a Feeld account to do it.

But whether you’re single, coupled up, or in a messy situationship (Godspeed), trying to articulate your boundaries and desires to another person can be exhausting — especially if you’re on the apps. This feature is designed to make things a little less awkward.

Here’s how it works: Go to the link and click “Get started.” You’ll then be asked whether you’d like to continue in the browser or use the app. I’m on my computer writing this, so naturally, I chose to continue in Chrome. Of course, there’s a little age verification check. But it’s based on honesty; just check the box to confirm you’re 18 or older.

The questions are divided into three categories: Desires (four parts, 10 minutes), Boundaries (five parts, seven minutes), and Relationships (five parts, seven minutes). Each category asks you to answer questions based on a scale that ranges from “not at all interested” to “extremely interested.” The questions are written in very easy-to-understand language.

One quick tip: Make sure to really take your time with your answers. Once you finish the assessment, there doesn't seem to be a reset button to go back and take it again from scratch.

The Desires category explores different types of kink play (e.g., BDSM, exhibitionism, group sex). This makes sense, considering Feeld's report found its members are almost three times more likely to engage in BDSM and power play than the general population. The Boundaries section covers potential red flags and dealbreakers. According to the study, 75 percent of Feeld members consider talking about safe sex normal, while only 25 percent of external daters say the same. Having a whole section dedicated to this makes establishing those ground rules incredibly validating.

The Relationships portion focuses on communication styles and whether non-monogamy is something you’d be comfortable with (which tracks, since Feeld originated as an app for polyamorous folks, even as more normies have made accounts). There are two written questions at the end of this section. You can only write up to 300 characters, and I'm not totally sure how they factor this into your overall "score."

Once you finish a section, the tool provides customized results that reflect your specific values and communication style. For example, the Boundaries section measures your voice and consent on a scale from "finding voice" to "warming up" to "clear," complete with a specific percentage. You can then click “go deeper” to get a full breakdown of your results, and there’s even a QR code you can scan to save them to your Feeld account.

Overall, I felt my percentages were pretty fair — though my experience highlighted an interesting quirk about the assessment. The quiz gave me a 24 percent rating for my kink affinity, which I don't believe is exactly accurate. I realized I was answering those specific prompts through the lens of a specific relationship rather than thinking about my desires in general, which definitely skewed my results. If you take it, keep that in mind: Your score might shift depending on who you’re picturing.

On the flip side, my kink orientation score was spot on. It gave me an 83 percent ("integrated"), correctly noting that kink plays a meaningful role in my desires. It even broke that down into sub-categories, giving me a 78 percent ("kinky") for expression, a 53 percent ("exploratory") for interests, and a 100 percent "enthusiast" rating for toys.

After the assessment is over, your results are available via a shareable link, which is a great way to get your boundaries on paper. The tool basically does the heavy lifting of figuring out how to describe what you want, so you can skip those awkward introductory questions with potential partners. If you're comfortable sharing your preferences upfront, just take the quiz, save your results, and send the link to anyone you’re talking to. Above all, don't worry about being "normal."

Though these headphones are a few years old, they're still an especially great option for Apple users who want over-ear headphones with great Apple integration, minus the exorbitant price of the AirPods Max. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti says that the ANC on these Beats is on par with AirPods Max, and they have better internals than the Maxes for producing well-rounded and detailed sound.

Bracetti determined that the main drawbacks of the headphones are that they can become uncomfortable after a couple of hours of wear, and the build quality could be better. Still, for $170, these are a solid all-around pair of over-ear headphones made for Apple users.

Claude AI discovered nearly two dozen vulnerabilities in Firefox, the Mozilla web browser.

Anthropic teamed up with Mozilla to test the security of its browser, allowing its AI tool to probe for vulnerabilities. Read, in part, a blog post from Anthropic:

"Claude Opus 4.6 discovered 22 vulnerabilities over the course of two weeks. Of these, Mozilla assigned 14 as high-severity vulnerabilities—almost a fifth of all high-severity Firefox vulnerabilities that were remediated in 2025. In other words: AI is making it possible to detect severe security vulnerabilities at highly accelerated speeds."

Anthropic noted that while Claude AI proved adept at identifying vulnerabilities, it was less successful at exploiting them. The researched asked the AI tool to "read and write a local file in a target system, as an attacker would."

Wrote Anthropic:

"We ran this test several hundred times with different starting points, spending approximately $4,000 in API credits. Despite this, Opus 4.6 was only able to actually turn the vulnerability into an exploit in two cases. This tells us two things. One, Claude is much better at finding these bugs than it is at exploiting them. Two, the cost of identifying vulnerabilities is an order of magnitude cheaper than creating an exploit for them. However, the fact that Claude could succeed at automatically developing a crude browser exploit, even if only in a few cases, is concerning."

The whole endeavor showed that AI tools are relatively skilled at identifying vulnerabilities in open-source projects. Anthropic, obviously, is pitching Claude as a tool in preventing these vulnerabilities from being exploited.

It's been less than a year since the Trump administration announced its sprawling AI action plan, and the government continues to push for America to be the global leader in AI.

And while American opinion on AI remains mixed, adoption of AI tools has grown domestically. U.S.-based AI companies are taking products to market at breakneck speeds. According to a 2025 Stanford report, the U.S. is building more top AI models than any other country.

With this as proof that their plan is working, federal leaders are charging ahead with new infrastructure plans and AI executive orders, from beefing up AI stack workers to coordinating military deployment. Here's what's happened over the last month:

SEE ALSO: Disinformation on U.S.-Iran war takes over the internet Ratepayer Protection Pledge 

In an apparent gesture to assuage growing concern about the impact of nationwide data centers, Trump unveiled the buzzy Ratepayer Protection Pledge on March 5. 

The voluntary, non-binding pledge is a tech industry commitment to provide or pay for all energy costs associated with AI projects. Signees agree to add new power stations instead of relying on existing power grids, cover costs of upgrading existing energy systems, and negotiate separate rate structures with local utility companies, when possible. It was signed by Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Amazon Web Services, Oracle, and xAI, following months of comments by Trump encouraging tech companies to "pay their own way" toward a larger national AI infrastructure. 

Speaking at a White House roundtable on March 4, Trump said that Big Tech needed the "PR help," responding to a growing body of complaints that tech companies were offloading energy costs onto residents near data centers. "Because people think that if a data center goes in, their electricity prices are going to go up, and that’s not happening," the president said. "It’s not going to happen."

To the chagrin of climate activists, the agreement does not mention limiting the environmental impacts of data centers. And energy experts say that long-term energy cost reduction will take years to be reflected in the bills of community members  — if companies actually stick to their promises. 

U.S. Tech Corps 

On Feb. 22, the Trump administration quietly unveiled its new Tech Corps, an offshoot of the nation's Peace Corps, that will send trained Americans abroad to evangelize about American AI technology. 

Tech Corps members, who must have proven tech skills, will be assigned to projects in participating American AI Exports Program countries, participating in what the government calls "last mile" AI deployment, CNBC reports. A list of participating countries has yet to be announced.   

The Tech Corps will "help countries around the world harness American artificial intelligence to enhance opportunity and prosperity for their citizens," the official website reads. Examples on the website include working alongside schools to accelerate AI adoption, assisting national offices in co-developing AI models, and offering virtual project options in collaboration with American tech companies. Tech Corps volunteers serve 12 to 27-month placements, and on-ground deployments are expected to begin this fall. Like the Peace Corps, volunteers will get covered housing, healthcare, and a living stipend. 

The Trump administration has said it will harness the agency's existing infrastructure to "turbocharge" the mission of "promoting World Peace and friendship."

Don't confuse the Tech Corps with the Trump administration's Tech Force, a two-year training and fellowship program aimed at recruiting a fleet of AI specialists and technologists. At the time, the administration explained the program would result in about "1,000 technology specialists hired by agencies to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) implementation and solve the federal government's most critical technological challenges." The advertised salary for the select few ranges from $150,000 up to $200,000 — no degree required.​

AI-enabled Department of War 

But the biggest headline out of Trump's recent tech agenda is actually an escalating feud, as the administration's Department of War goes head-to-head with some of the country's leading AI companies. Amid a new war with Iran, the government hopes to use the modern tech to boost the country's warfare capacity. 

SEE ALSO: Anthropic challenges Department of War designation as AI dispute escalates

Part of the administration's efforts to modernize federal offices and integrate AI across departments, AI developers including OpenAI, Google, Perplexity, and Anthropic have snagged multimillion dollar contracts to deploy their services across the federal government and even work directly with federal agencies.

But a recent $200 million deal with Anthropic over the use of Claude by the U.S. military has since fallen through, after the company drew a hard line on utilizing its models to engage in potential mass domestic surveillance or power autonomous weapons under the Department of War. In response, Trump ordered an immediate termination of the use of Claude by government agencies and later declared Anthropic a "supply-chain risk" to national security, even as rumors circulated that negotiations had been reopened. In the meantime, OpenAI swooped in to take over the agreement, with CEO Sam Altman admitting the agreement to use OpenAI's model was rushed. 

"I think we are heading towards a world where the relationship between governments and AI efforts is critical," Altman wrote in a lengthy X post. "This will be difficult but it has to happen; I do not see any good future where we don't get there."
