Thinking of giving fiber-optic internet a try? You need to check out Verizon Fios. Verizon may be one of the “big three” cellular network service providers, but they’re much more than just a network operator. Today, Verizon also offers home internet, TV, and landline phone packages under the Fios banner, delivering these services over high-speed fiber-optic cables. Verizon is also offering some juicy bonuses right now for new customers who sign up for Fios internet service, so if it’s available in your area , now’s a great time to give it a spin.

Network carriers and internet service providers often run special discounts and other promotions for new customers, and Verizon is certainly no exception. In fact, Verizon runs such deals pretty much year-round, but ahead of Black Friday, they’re serving up a very nice bundle offer for anybody who signs up for a Verizon Fios Home Internet plan. Switch to Verizon Fios Internet and you can get credit worth up to $200 for GrubHub or DoorDash, and for a limited time, the carrier is even throwing in a Verizon gift card worth as much as $150. On top of that, you can also take up to $300 off the Stream TV Soundbar or Stream TV Soundbar Pro.

Worried about inflation and increasing prices? Verizon has you covered there, too, with its new 10-year price guarantee. When you sign up for Verizon Fios Internet, your subscription price is locked in for 10 years. That means you won’t get any nasty surprises in the form of sudden price hikes on your monthly bill. That’s nice to see in a time when the cost of everything from food to monthly service subscriptions only seems to be getting more expensive. Better still, you are not locked into a restrictive annual contract — it’s a simple month-to-month payment plan — and there are also no equipment fees, cancellation fees, or data caps.

There are three Fios Internet plans: The 300 Mbps plan that starts at $25 per month; the 500 Mbps plan for $45 per month; and the 1 Gbps plan for $65 per month. Your router rental is included with all three plans, and if you sign up online, the $99 setup fee is waived. The exact signup offer that you receive depends on which Fios Internet package you sign up for, with gigabit plan customers receiving the maximum bonus offer.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt
The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.
The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits. 

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school
One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.
Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns
OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it
OpenAI logo on Microsoft surface

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
