Whoop's subscription plans are discounted, and accessories are up to 70 percent off. In the world of fitness trackers, Whoop has a unique business model.

But this year, Whoop debuted two new models, the Whoop 5.0 and the Whoop MG (8/10, WIRED Recommends) .

Practicing good "operations security" is essential to staying safe online. Here's a complete guide for teenagers (and anyone else) who wants to button up their digital lives. Teenagers have always been formidable hackers. In fact, in recent years, some of the most high-profile and brazen digital attacks around the world have been carried out by teens.

Micron to invest $9.6 billion in western Japan plant, report says Signage at the Micron Technology booth at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai is seen on Nov. 6. Micron Technology will spend ¥1.5 trillion ($9.6 billion) to build a plant in western Japan to make memory chips for artificial intelligence applications, Nikkei newspaper reported. The move comes as Micron looks to diversify advanced chip production outside of Taiwan, Nikkei said, citing people familiar with the matter. The new factory will manufacture high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, a key component for working with AI processors such as those made by Nvidia, according to the report. Micron will build the facility within the compound of its Hiroshima plant, starting in May, with plans to launch HBM shipments around 2028, Nikkei said. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will subsidize up to ¥500 billion of the costs for the project, the newspaper said.

The problem: not everyone uses the same phone operating system. In my house, I have an iPhone and my wife has an Android.

Gaming may be turning players into conspiracy theorists, but so is everything else. For nearly 20 years, the video games have presented themselves as sprawling works of historical fiction. They cast players as noble assassins during big inflection points in history--the French Revolution, Ptolemaic Egypt, the end of Japan's Sengoku era--and give them freedom to romp around stunning re-creations of these eras, interacting with historical figures along the way. You can do secret missions for Cleopatra, you can get Socrates out of a jam after he pisses a mob off, that sort of thing. They're extremely popular to the point of being taken for granted, the way a ubiquitous CBS procedural might be.
