I read the fine print on at-home DNA and health tests – watch out for these risks

I read the fine print on at-home DNA and health tests – watch out for these risks

Published by skeptic

Everlywell / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways At-home DNA and health tests may not be covered by HIPAA. Genetic data can expose you or relatives and create insurance risks. FDA review and follow-up care vary widely. The kit arrives. It isn’t big. You get it out of the mailbox and bring it to your counter. It’s printed in fun, friendly colors. Swab. Spit. Prick your finger. Mail it back. Soon, you’ll learn something new about yourself: your hormones, your fertility, your cancer risk, your predisposition to Alzheimer’s, your metabolism, your food sensitivities, or even your entire genome. That’s the lure of at-home (“direct-to-consumer”) DNA and health testing. Late at night, from your phone, you can order just about any test to take at home, whether you’re uninsured, curious, or simply anxious about what secrets your body may be hiding. Before ordering one myself, though, I did a little Googling. At first, I was looking for simple answers. Was the test FDA reviewed? Was the …

Times digital revenue overtaking print, says EVP Chris Longcroft

Times digital revenue overtaking print, says EVP Chris Longcroft

Published by Sam Flores

Chris Longcroft. Picture: Press Gazette The Times is close to “cresting the hill” in terms of digital revenue overtaking print, according to executive vice president and publisher Christopher Longcroft. He said this means they are entering an era when investment in digital becomes more worthwhile as the gains become bigger and so growth accelerates. Speaking to Press Gazette at a recent breakfast networking event, Longcroft painted an optimistic picture of growth for The Times titles which now have some 676,000 paying digital subscribers (up 7.5% year on year). The Times and Sunday Times, which lost hundreds of millions during the heyday of print newspaper profitability from the 1980s to early 2000s, reported adjusted operating profit of £76m in 2025 on revenue up 2% to £391m. Broadly speaking the Times appears to have achieved ‘escape velocity’ from its print legacy where growing digital revenue is outweighing newspaper decline. Most UK newspaper titles no longer publish circulation figures, but industry trends would suggest The Times now sells around 120,000 copies per day and The Sunday Times around …

Hibiscus print is trending – shop the hottest Zara Larsson-approved tropical pieces

Hibiscus print is trending – shop the hottest Zara Larsson-approved tropical pieces

Published by Daniella Wilson

Call it the Zara Larsson effect or simply the collective desire to make a beeline for Heathrow and jet off this summer, but hibiscus florals are seriously hot property right now. Beautifully colourful and steeped in tropical nostalgia, the trumpet-shaped blooms are peppering both high fashion and high street collections alike, making for dazzling surf-inspired campaign imagery and clothing to match.  Adopted by iconic beachwear brands including Roxy, Billabong and Quiksilver, hibiscus print pays homage to the flower’s rich cultural history. Hailing from subtropical regions across Asia and the Pacific Islands, hibiscus serves as the national flower of Malaysia and the state flower of Hawaii, where it symbolises the Aloha spirit, hospitality, and femininity. Hibiscus print entered mainstream fashion through the rise of the Aloha shirt in 1930s Hawaii, where bold tropical florals reflected the islands’ landscape and multicultural textile traditions.  © ImaxtreeShuting Qui SS26 © ImaxtreeDior SS26 This aesthetic was famously captured in cinema, with Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Romeo in Baz …

Scientists 3D print living skin that helps grow blood vessels

Scientists 3D print living skin that helps grow blood vessels

Published by Jenni Sidey

A severe burn changes life in an instant. Beyond the pain, it destroys the body’s natural shield against infection, dehydration and injury. For doctors, restoring that barrier quickly can mean the difference between recovery and tragedy. Yet despite decades of advances in medicine, rebuilding healthy skin remains one of the greatest challenges in wound care. Now, researchers in Sweden have developed a promising new technology that could bring medicine closer to that goal. Scientists at the Center for Disaster Medicine and Traumatology and Linköping University have created what they describe as a form of “skin in a syringe,” a living gel packed with cells that can be injected or even 3D printed into skin grafts. Their findings suggest the material could help the body rebuild functional skin rather than forming scar tissue. The innovation arrives at a time when the need for better wound treatments is growing. Burns are the world’s fourth most common form of trauma. About 11 million people seek medical care for burn injuries every year, and roughly 180,000 die annually. Chronic …

The email glitch that blindsided Poland on US troop move – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

‘One-sentence message’ The American message regarding the transfer of soldiers from the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team from Texas to Poland was extremely short, including neither explanation nor justification. “It was a brief, one-sentence message sent through routine military channels in an informal manner,” said one of the people in the circle of the Chief of the General Staff. “What happened at headquarters is a typical organizational mess,” said another of the people close to the General Staff. “The law on the protection of classified information stipulates that only the head of an institution may read classified correspondence. However, workarounds are necessary for the institution to function and maintain continuity,” this person said. “It is well known that the chief of staff is often away and is a very busy person. That is why he should authorize others to read classified correspondence so that it is reviewed several times a day, and not just when the chief finds the time to do so,” this person said. In this instance, the delay in reading correspondence meant …

The Duchess of Edinburgh was the picture of sophistication in a flattering ensemble for the parade and service of the Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association on 10 May. The royal arrived in Hyde Park on Sunday morning in one of her favourite waist-cinching coat dresses, which she styled with the perfect bold accessories.  Sophie looked channelled Cinderella in a classically elegant pastel blue Emilia Wickstead coat dress with long sleeves and a lapel collar that was belted at the waist for a figure-hugging silhouette. The royal has worn the outfit on previous occasions in public, but while she’s previously worn it with matching blue fascinators and understated accessories, Sophie opted for a statement wide-brimmed brown hat for her latest solo outing.  Sophie paired her neutral-toned hat with matching pointed-toe heels and a snakeskin clutch bag. Her hair was swept back for the day, and her jewellery was kept minimal.  © PA Images via Getty ImagesThe Duchess of Edinburgh arrives for the parade and service of the Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association in Hyde Park A favourite …

6 things I 3D print now instead of buying again

Published by skeptic

In every household, there are likely things that you buy again and again as you need more. Think paperclips, chip clips, organizing baskets, and the like. But ever since I get into 3D printing, I realized that instead of spending on these sorts of things, I could just print them out and have a functional plastic item at a fraction of the cost in retail. Here are six of the things that I print out now instead of buying again.

Wired ends UK print magazine amid shake-up of London staff

Published by Sam Flores

Wired global editorial director Katie Drummond, and Jan/Feb 2026 issue of Wired. Picture: Conde Nast Wired will not put out a print magazine in the UK in 2026 as it focuses on global digital subscriber growth. Seven editorial staff left Wired’s London office at the end of 2025, with the team being rebuilt to focus on audience development roles and some UK and Europe-focused reporting. Global editorial director Katie Drummond told Press Gazette that creating a “sustainable and growing subscription business is the future of Wired… “While other components like advertising and commerce play a really important part, I don’t want Wired to be at the whims of anything that I can’t control the way I can control the journalism.” A spokesperson said direct-to-publisher subscribers (meaning those who subscribe through Wired rather than a third party) were up 20% in 2025 while new subscribers taking the digital-only option doubled. Wired’s US subscription revenue was up 24% in 2025. Katie Drummond: I want Wired to feel like ‘genuinely global offering’ Drummond told Press Gazette that London …

The IFPDA Print Fair Returns to the Park Avenue Armory

The IFPDA Print Fair Returns to the Park Avenue Armory

Published by Jenni Sidey

For centuries, drawings and prints were collected and exhibited together, with the blurry distinction between the two sometimes dissolving altogether. The upcoming IFPDA Print Fair at the Park Avenue Armory (April 9–12) will offer an illuminating exploration of this relationship, with 80 exhibitors from Singapore to Stockholm (including blue chip galleries Hauser & Wirth, Pace Prints, and David Zwirner) presenting 500 years of drawings, prints, and editions to train your eye and, perhaps, tempt your wallet.  This year marks a milestone for the IFPDA, which recently rebranded itself as the International Fine Prints & Drawings Association. Longtime members like Hill-Stone, David Tunick, Inc., and William Shearburn Gallery will be expanding their presentations to include more master drawings. New exhibitors include drawing dealers Mireille Mosler and Jill Newhouse Gallery, who will be bringing an intimate charcoal by Edward Hopper, High Noon (Study), 1949, one of only five known drawings for his iconic canvas, High Noon, painted the same year.

Razer has once again expanded its super-thin laptop offerings with the latest iteration of the Razer Blade 16. The new 2026 edition of this high-end gaming laptop comes equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, 1TB of SSD storage, and 32GB of LPDDR5X-9600 MHz RAM.
