AI agents are a risky business. Even when stuck inside the chatbox window, LLMs will make mistakes and behave badly. Once they have tools that they can use to interact with the outside world, such as web browsers and email addresses, the consequences of those mistakes become far more serious. That might explain why the first breakthrough LLM personal assistant came not from one of the major AI labs, which have to worry about reputation and liability, but from an independent software engineer, Peter Steinberger. In November of 2025, Steinberger uploaded his tool, now called OpenClaw, to GitHub, and in late January the project went viral.

Just don't try to pop it in that old Walkman. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. It seemed like this once-groundbreaking piece of technology may have gone the way of the dodo. However, the cassette tape could offer a new way to store our ever increasing amount of digital data-with a biological twist. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is nature's ultimate hard drive because it is dense, compact, and durable.

Human beings have a hard time dealing with numbers that get really big. The speed of light, the number of atoms in apparently small amounts of matter, the energy being burned every time you ask ChatGPT how many days there are in July. It doesn't really fit into our meat brains. Take, for example, Seagate's latest industrial hard drive, which holds 30 terabytes of data. The new Exos M and IronWolf Pro are the most dense drives single I've ever seen in the standard form factor, narrowly beating out existing 28TB models by leveraging Seagate's innovative Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology.

What happens on your computer stays on your computer … usually. While we've been taught to believe everything we do on the computer can stick around forever, there actually are ways to wipe your data for good. If you're looking to do some serious cleaning up on a PC, Data Shredder Stick can help. Making your data unrecoverable may sound daunting, but Data Shredder Stick makes it a straightforward task. Whether you're looking to sell an old device and make a little dough, or you want some peace of mind when it comes to old storage drives piling up in your house, the Data Shredder Stick can help you securely erase files, folders, and drives for good from your Windows PC.

When people talk about the "size" of an AI model, they're referring to the number of "parameters" it contains. A parameter is one variable in the AI model that determines how it generates output, and any given AI model can have billions of these parameters. Also referred to as model weights, these parameters occupy storage space to operate properly -- and when an AI model has billions of parameters, storage requirements can quickly balloon. As you can see, the storage space consumed by an LLM increases with the size of its parameters. The same is true for other types of generative AI models, too.

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. We are in the midst of an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven industrial revolution. From self-driving cars to medical diagnostics to next-generation defense and homeland security capabilities, AI is reshaping nearly every industry. As the U.S. races to maintain its global leadership in AI, much of the conversation revolves around natural language processing, the reshoring of the semiconductor supply chain and powering data centers.

From face recognition to dynamic lock, there are options you may be unfamiliar with. Are you dealing with a Windows PC or laptop that won't stop crashing? Maybe your PC is constantly freezing or displaying error messages. We know how frustrating a PC that won't work right can be. Luckily, there are some easy ways to fix a Windows PC that is consistently crashing.

The hard drive installed in your Windows or macOS system is where all of your apps and files live--so as computer components go, they don't get much more important. You might even have more than one drive installed to cover all storage duties. Whether it's a solid-state drive (SSD) or an older mechanical hard disk drive (HDD), this component won't keep going indefinitely. You may well find it stays working smoothly until it comes time to upgrade your laptop or desktop, but there's no guarantee--and failures can often happen, especially with older hardware. When a hard drive does die, it can stop your entire system from functioning, and leave your data inaccessible.

A few days ago, I was tidying my home office – which more closely resembles a video game arcade recently hit by a tornado – when I found a long-lost piece of technology in the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet. It was an old Xbox 360, the Elite model – black, heavy, ungainly, impossibly retro. Out of curiosity, I hauled it out, found a controller and power cable and switched it on. I knew immediately what I wanted to look for, but I was also apprehensive: I didn't know how I'd feel if Minecraft was still there – or worse, if it wasn't. Minecraft, you see, is more than just a game for me.

If humanity is obliterated by climate change, how will we even know it's happened? That's the question being answered by Australian scientists, who are building Earth's Black Box – a 32-foot-long steel monolith that captures data about our planet. It'll be filled with hard drives that constantly document climate change, giving an'unbiased account of events' that lead to Earth's demise. In the event of a climate apocalypse, it will provide a document of how humanity failed to avoid the disaster – as long as there's someone or something around to access it. Artist impressions suggest it will have a similar aura to the mysterious monolith in Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi film '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
