The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has officially issued its full recommended fine against political consultant Steve Kramer. This is after he initiated a series of robocalls to New Hampshire residents with pre-recorded audio of President Biden’s voice, using deepfake AI technology. The fake Biden told voters not to vote in the upcoming primary, saying “Your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday.” Kramer must pay $6 million in fines in the next 30 days or the Department of Justice will handle collection, according to a FCC statement.
Kramer doesn’t just face a fine; he also has criminal charges against him. New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella announced that he’ll face multiple counts of voter suppression and impersonation of a political candidate.
It wasn’t a hugely difficult process, either. Kramer hired New Orleans magician (an actual magician) Paul Carpenter to make the phony recordings. Carpenter showed NBC News how he made the deepfake audio files using ElevenLabs. He said it only took around 20 minutes.

In a surprise short-notice (and short!) event yesterday, Samsung unveiled new additions to its portfolio of devices, including the Galaxy S24 FE and the Galaxy Watch FE LTE. The highlight had to be the new Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra tablet. With the Tab S10 series, the company is adding to its flagship S24 phones features like Circle to Search and Sketch to Image. Those features that work with the S Pen on the S24 Ultra, like Handwriting Assist and Note Assist, are here too. While software is the main draw this year, the Tab S10 Ultra has a 120Hz 14.6-inch screen with an anti-reflective finish and a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, instead of the usual Qualcomm chip. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra will be available starting at $1,200 for the 256GB model — pre-orders are open now and the tablet will launch October 3.
It’s now very possible to find a clean-sounding, richly featured pair for well under $100, but there are, unsurprisingly, a lot of bad earbuds too. We’ve pulled in the best buds, including some that even manage to pack in noise cancellation. Expect capable buds from Anker, Jlab and even Amazon.

In today’s world, tech tends to run complex rather than simple, and this is where the brand ‘Nothing’ has been marking its presence, and distinguishing itself. Founded in 2020 by Carl Pei, Nothing has adopted a refreshing design philosophy that focuses on transparency, minimalism, and a seamless user experience. Nothing’s flagship products merge a distinctive aesthetic with innovative functionality, and they are a source of major inspiration for the design and tech community. Conceptual designs centered around Nothing’s approach and philosophy are currently running rampant on the internet, and we’ve curated some of our favorites. We hope to see these concepts as real tangible Nothing products someday!
Called the Nothing x AIAIAI Headphones, this cool concept perfectly represents how two companies’ visions can be combined to create one functional and good-looking product. The headphones incorporate individual details like the AirPods Max, but they also retain the transparent beauty of Nothing. The accessory is built of modular parts that can be replaced and swapped as needed.
Dubbed the Nothing power bank, this handy little gadget is the perfect companion for your jet-setting adventures. It boasts a transparent aesthetic, which showcases the innards in all their glory. The insides are illuminated with little warm-toned LEDs, which provide the design with a futuristic and Cyberpunkish aesthetic, on the inside and out. It is designed to complement the Nothing Phone (2), making it a great fit for Nothing’s growing line of products.
Designed by AndroidLeo as a visual exercise, the Nothing Phone (3) is a deeper refinement of Nothing’s iconic style. The Glyph interface’s shape has been modified, without compromising on the character. The Glyph has an O-shaped arc, placed around the wireless charging coils, as well as inside them. The camera is equipped with a redesigned LED array and a 3-lens setup, while the phone features an almost clover-meets-fidget-spinner type layout.
This conceptual CMF speaker breaks the conventional of a typical portable speaker design, and it merges function and form beautifully. The speaker displays the playback information including Albumart, now playing controls, and track selection buttons on the touchscreen. It has a Bluetooth toggle and volume knob on one side. A frosted cover panel maintains a semi-transparent surface on the innards, while a USB-C charging port is placed on the rear section to ensure visual integrity.
Dubbed Head.Phone (1), these conceptual headphones use the Glyph interface pretty smartly. The Glyph is physically moving, and it can be customized to send cool messages to the on-lookers. It offers a more aggressive appearance, and the texture is pretty cool too. The materials have an impressive color and finish, accentuated by the right detailing in the right places. Transparent design elements have been incorporated, retaining the typical DNA of the brand.
Named the Nothing Bass (1), this portable speaker is designed in Black or White color, making it an excellent conversation starter for a house party. The speaker pairs up with the power of LED lighting, which syncs perfectly to the rhythm of beats, ensuring the device captures everyone’s attention. The speaker’s cone is transparent, protecting the innards from the outside elements. The appeal of the speaker is pretty classy, and it will elevate the vibe of any living room.
Named the Nothing Sound (1), this portable speaker has a fantastic visual design language inspired by Nothing. It has the style that a real Nothing portable speaker would adopt. It is a fashion accessory designed for home and outdoor use, and it is also pretty practical as well. It is designed to be portable, and easy to use, and is a refreshing change from the typical portable speakers we often find on the market.
This conceptual design gives the outdated Nokia N90 design a whole new makeover. It borrows inspo from Nothing’s iconic translucent glass design and focuses on three important concepts: mechanical precision, the spirit of exploration, and a minimalist design language. The phone adopts a clean and minimal appearance, ensuring the details are focused only on the essentials while ditching the noisy details that were often seen in Nokia’s design language.
Named the Nothing Npod (1), this resurrected iPod by Shreyansh Onial and Aditya Pandharpure draws inspiration from Apple’s iPod Shuffle, and Nothing’s iconic transparent aesthetic and glyph interaction. The Npod (1) features a signature control panel on the front, while a matching circular glyph interface is placed on the back. This innovative product is the perfect mix of tech and nostalgia and could be a unique undertaking for Nothing.
The Nothing headset (1) concept is designed to deliver high-fidelity audio right to your ears. It has a detachable amplifier to amp the quality as and when needed. You simply need to attach the amplifier to the outside of the headphones, and it instantly elevates your audio experience. You don’t need any steeply-priced AMPs, DACs, or high-fidelity cables.

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has slapped Meta with a $101.5 million (€91 million) fine after wrapping up an investigation into a security breach in 2019, wherein the company mistakenly stored users' passwords in plain text. Meta's original announcement only talked about how it found some user passwords stored in plain text on its servers in January that year. But a month later, it updated its announcement to reveal that millions of Instagram passwords were also stored in easily readable format.
While Meta didn't say how many accounts were affected, a senior employee told Krebs on Security back then that the incident involved up to 600 million passwords. Some of the passwords had been stored in easily readable format in the company's servers since 2012. They were also reportedly searchable by over 20,000 Facebook employees, though the DPC has clarified in its decision that they were at least not made available to external parties.
The DPC found that Meta violated several GDPR rules related to the breach. It determined that the company failed to "notify the DPC of a personal data breach concerning storage of user passwords in plaintext" without undue delay and failed to "document personal data breaches concerning the storage of user passwords in plaintext." It also said that Meta violated the GDPR by not using appropriate technical measures to ensure the security of users' passwords against unauthorized processing.
"It is widely accepted that user passwords should not be stored in plaintext, considering the risks of abuse that arise from persons accessing such data. It must be borne in mind, that the passwords the subject of consideration in this case, are particularly sensitive, as they would enable access to users’ social media accounts," DPC's Deputy Commissioner, Graham Doyle, said in a statement.
The DPC has also given the company a reprimand in addition to the penalty. We may know more about what that means for Meta exactly when the commission publishes its full final decision and other related information in the future.
