If you know what you’re doing, you can mess around with the BIOS on your computer to personalize your experience to the letter. However, if you’re new to tweaking BIOS, you should leave some settings alone, lest you cause some serious problems. There’s no benefit to touching the Base Clock Base clock, sometimes identified as BCLK in your BIOS, is the frequency used by every other component in your PC for timing. Memory, CPU cores, storage, PCIe, practically everything gets its timing from the base clock setting in your BIOS. I’m sure you can already see why it would be…

That Sky Sports felt the need to launch a TikTok channel specifically marketed towards women and billed as its “lil sis” was questionable enough. But once people got a taste of the content on Halo, it was clear the company had absolutely no idea what it was doing.Halo didn’t focus on women’s sports, nor did it seem to be doing a good job of elevating female voices in a male-dominated business. Instead, it slapped pink sparkly letters on videos, talked about “hot girl walks,” matcha, and posted shipping memes. Unsurprisingly, the backlash was swift and strong.Head of audience development and…

The Sopranos. Sex and the City. The Wire. Veep. Game of Thrones. For decades, HBO was the place people went to see what was on the cutting edge of TV. The shows were deeper, denser, and bolder than anything else around. HBO still has a reputation for quality, but a new challenger is on the verge of stealing its prestige TV crown: Apple TV+. As HBO has embraced trends and therefore become a little more ordinary, Apple has reached into its cavernous war chest and spent money on challenging, original programming. We’re watching it turn into the creative powerhouse that…

We all have those little treats we enjoy from time to time, whenever the mood strikes for a tasty indulgence. It might be homemade brownies or chocolate chip cookies, or it might be a stash of candy in the back of the pantry. Goodness knows there are plenty of delicious choices out there to satisfy that sweet tooth. And there is always something different to try, too, whether it be a new dessert trend or a product release like snickerdoodle-flavored Kisses. But some of us—like my Uncle Pete—are creatures of habit who always reach for an old standby. For as…

YouTube is rolling out a beta feature that automatically lowers costs for underperforming Demand Gen Target CPA (tCPA) campaigns, aiming to keep advertisers closer to their desired CPA during the volatile learning phase. Why we care. The update gives advertisers a financial cushion during the earliest — and often most unstable — phase of YouTube campaigns, where conversion predictions can swing widely. It’s a rare instance of Google proactively refunding spend to protect performance targets. How it works: The system monitors new Demand Gen tCPA campaigns during the learning phase. If conversions fall below what Google predicted, it may retroactively…

[Submitted on 19 Sep 2025 (v1), last revised 14 Nov 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Re-FRAME the Meeting Summarization SCOPE: Fact-Based Summarization and Personalization via Questions, by Frederic Kirstein and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Meeting summarization with large language models (LLMs) remains error-prone, often producing outputs with hallucinations, omissions, and irrelevancies. We present FRAME, a modular pipeline that reframes summarization as a semantic enrichment task. FRAME extracts and scores salient facts, organizes them thematically, and uses these to enrich an outline into an abstractive summary. To personalize summaries, we introduce SCOPE,…

Reviews are make-or-break trust signals on SERPs. Is AI changing the way people write, trust, and act on reviews?

Our August 2025 study of 1,000+ U.S. consumers revealed exactly how people evaluate authenticity, decide when to leave feedback, and choose which businesses to support. This session translates those findings…

I take my mashed potatoes very seriously, so when I was asked to host a little showdown between two of my favorite recipe creators, Ina Garten and Ree Drummond, it felt like my Super Bowl. The two recipes I put head-to-head are Ina’s Classic Mashed Potatoes and Ree’s Creamy Mashed Potatoes. One thing you should know about me is that I am kind of uptight about mashed potatoes. I once caused a semi-riot at my Mom’s house on Thanksgiving Day because she didn’t have a potato ricer. Though I may be stuck in my ways, for the sake of important…

When Nigel Morris tells you he’s worried about the economy, you listen. As industry observers know, Morris co-founded Capital One and pioneered lending to subprime borrowers, building an empire on understanding exactly how much financial stress the average American can handle. Now, as an early investor in Klarna and other buy-now-pay-later companies like Aplazo in Mexico, he’s watching something that makes him deeply uncomfortable. “To see that people are using [BNPL services] to buy something as basic and fundamental as groceries,” Morris told me on stage at Web Summit in Lisbon this week, “I think is a pretty clear indication…
