When Phoebe Dynevor bought her first home in 2021, she knew she wanted to honor the historic roots of her space while updating it to her taste. I decided to completely go and rebuild, essentially, she tells AD. Its in London, I live on a cobbled street, and its very old London, and I just wanted to keep that feeling. To fill her new home, the Bridgerton star wanted to find pieces that were, yes, beautiful, but had lived a life, so she turned to antiques. I like history, I love knowing that Im living in a home with pieces that have been in different homes, she says. Thats just so inspiring.You can shop a few of Dynevors favorite items for yourself on March 30, but act quickly, as the items will only be available for 24 hours. Shes partnered with upstart online antique shop Sylvie for their very first celebrity collaboration. The brainchild of Instagram alum Chelsea MacDonald, Sylvie offers up old objects in a distinctly modern way. Each carefully curated collection is available for a limited amount of time. And while the drop model has long been used by streetwear companies like Supreme, MacDonald isnt trying to create a new generation of earthenware-obsessed hypebeasts. We really wanted to build on that real-life experience of hunting and looking for something very particular and you find it, MacDonald shares. That feeling of anticipation and excitement has helped the brand develop an enthusiastic audience in a shockingly short amount of time, including Dynevor, who stumbled upon it on Instagram.The Louis XVI chest of boudoir drawers, Napolean chairs, French needlepoint tapestry, and coffee table pictured will all be available on Sylvie on March 30.Photo: Gabriel Zimmer / Catskill ImageHer perception is very international, MacDonald says of the actor, whom she met after mutual friends connected the pair. She just has this genuine love for vintage and antiques. Surprisingly enough, Dynevors first foray into secondhand shopping came when she first arrived in Los Angeles. Like many young folks just starting out, she was looking for an affordable way to furnish her apartment, so she and her roommate hit the Rose Bowl Flea Market. For anyone looking to get into vintage and antiques, she recommends starting somewhere similar to get a sense of your style. Find pieces that speak to you and feel unique and special, she shares.This advice is what Sylvie is all about. MacDonald travels all over the world to find pieces that have a special story and offer the opportunity to connect. The storytelling of it all is especially important to MacDonald because selling antiques without a physical storefront requires a lot of trust from customers. But because Gen Zers and millennials are looking for places that offer them the opportunity to consume mindfully, shes been able to build a platform that requires an initial leap of faith. There's this really big push with Gen Z and millennials for individuality. They want something eclectic that represents themselves. So I think this is really where antique and vintage comes in, she shares. Its a slower process. Its more intentional. I think that its very reliant on community and trust and loyalty.An antique French cutting board and egg baskets.Photo: Gabriel Zimmer / Catskill ImageA vintage French garden set.Photo: Gabriel Zimmer / Catskill ImageDynevors collection is a mix of Louis XVI furniture, antique tapestries, and small decorative items. Sylvies drops tend to include a range of price points so that folks can participate across different budgets. When asked to pick a favorite (an unfair question, admittedly), Dynevor highlights an undersung benefit of antiques: their usefulness. I love the French cutting boards, theyre so cool and beautiful, and I dont know about most people, but especially in London, I dont have a huge amount of storage, so I like anything that can live out on the kitchen and I dont have to put away because it looks so beautiful.

The number of Tesla owners trading in their cars surged to a record high in March, compounding the troubles of an automaker that has been embroiled in controversy since CEO Elon Musk became a central figure of President Donald Trump's administration.Of all vehicles traded in at dealerships for new or used cars through March 16, 1.4% were Tesla cars from model year 2017 or newer -- the highest share on record, according to data from U.S. car shopping website Edmunds, which analyzed purchases at traditional dealerships but not direct-to-consumer brands. The data shows a steady increase: Last March, 0.4% of all vehicles traded in were Teslas. The figure rose to 0.8% in January and 1.2% in February.The rise in trade-ins comes as Musk faces backlash for his role in dramatic cuts to the federal government through the U.S. DOGE Service. Protesters have vandalized cars and storefronts at Tesla facilities across the country and set Tesla charging stations ablaze, among other violent and destructive acts.Trump on Friday threatened vandals of Tesla cars with 20-year sentences in El Salvador's infamous mega-prison, after Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this week said attacking Teslas was "domestic terrorism."Musk's company has faced declining stock price and consumer boycotts since the start of the year. Tesla's stock, which peaked at around $480 per share in December, closed Thursday at $236.26 per share. In January, Tesla sales in Europe sank 45% compared to the previous year.Some Tesla owners have also begun to express buyer's remorse, fearing their car signals to others that they support Musk, one of the most powerful right-wing political figures in the United States.Jessica Caldwell, head of insights for Edmunds, said Musk's reputation may be one of the reasons for the increase in trade-ins."Brand loyalty is becoming a bigger question mark as factors such as Elon Musk's increasing public involvement in government, Tesla depreciation concerns and its increased saturation in major metro areas leave some longtime owners feeling disconnected from the brand," she said.As more carmakers enter the electric vehicle market, consumers have begun to explore their options. Searches for used Teslas in February fell 16% from the previous month and 7% from the previous year, signaling that consumers are considering other electric vehicles, according to a February report from Cars.com. There are 76 models of used electric vehicles on the market this year, up from 58 a year ago, the report said. Meanwhile, searches for non-Tesla electric vehicles on Cars.com rose 28% over the past year, according to the car site."What we're seeing in the marketplace is just fragmentation that is very normal," said David Greene, an analyst with Cars.com. "Tesla enjoyed exclusivity and market dominance for quite a long time, but other automakers are getting into the EV space."Greene is skeptical that the available market data reflect a significant consumer backlash against Tesla. Those shifts in behavior can be slow to emerge in buyer interest, trade-in or sales data, he cautioned: "The market can shift on a dime, but the data is always lagging."The share of people considering buying a new Tesla has also dropped, according to Edmunds. In February, 1.8% of car shoppers on the Edmunds site were considering purchasing a new Tesla, the lowest proportion since October 2022. The figure peaked at 3.3% in late November 2024.When consumers trade in a Tesla, a majority are purchasing electric or hybrid models as their next car, according to Edmunds."As Tesla brand loyalty and interest wavers, those offering competitive pricing, new technology, or simply less controversy could capture defecting Tesla owners and first-time EV buyers," Caldwell said.

The Eufy Familock S3 Max is among the best smart locks I've tested, thanks to a standout feature designed with families in mind.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara U100 smart lock was originally priced at $230, but it is currently discounted to $150.This smart lock is the most versatile I've tested; it offers a variety of unlocking options, a user-friendly app, and easy integration with Apple Home.The Aqara U100 drains the battery quickly, and the app doesn't always alert users, resulting in reduced performance within four months of use. $142.69 at Amazon TheAqara U100 smart lockis $87 off, available for one the lowest prices we've ever seen at $143 with a limited-time deal.Aqara's first Apple Home Key smart lock in the US arrived after the company offered many Home Key-compatible smart locks outside the country. Was the wait worth it? I've had the Aqara U100 for over a year, and the short answer is: Absolutely.Getting the Aqara U100 on my front door was reasonably simple, even though my specific review unit didn't come with instructions. It took a few minutes to figure out which piece goes on before the other, but a deadbolt is a pretty straightforward mechanism, so it was easy. The entire process took less than 15 minutes. details View at Amazon Once the U100 smart lock was on the door, I set it up with the Aqara app on my iPhone and used an Aqara M2 Hub to connect to it.Although an Aqara Hub isn't necessary to use the basic features of the smart lock, you do need one to perform remote lock and unlock actions, view the current lock status, configure password settings from your phone, and create automations with other Aqara devices. I used the Aqara Hub M2 to set up the U100 lock. Maria Diaz/ZDNETWithout a hub, the U100 smart lock can only connect to your phone via Bluetooth and be controlled as long as you're within Bluetooth range.The Aqara U100 smart lock is unique in the US, as it's the only one on the market to offer the following unlocking options in one:Passcode unlock: The U100 lock features a keypad that requires 6-10 digit passcodes to open. You can add one-time passcodes or ones that only work during a preset period, like for a babysitter every weekday from 3-6 p.m. The app allows you to set up to 75 passwords.Fingerprint unlock: After setting up my U100 to open with my fingerprint, I've never had issues with it not recognizing my print or failing to respond to it. You can add up to 50 fingerprints in the app, and Aqara says its fingerprint reader features a 98.6% recognition rate.Apple Home Key: I set up the U100 lock to unlock with my iPhone using the NFC-powered Apple Home Key. This adds a virtual key to your iPhone's Wallet, and you can open your smart lock only by bringing your iPhone or Apple Watch close to it.NFC tags: You can also program NFC tags to unlock the Aqara U100, which is perfect for anyone who isn't an Apple user, or to use as keycards for houseguests.Mechanical keys: The U100 smart lock comes with two physical keys, and the keyhole is hidden behind a sliding panel on the face of the wave.Although I didn't find the Aqara mobile app very intuitive, I loved the features available for the U100 lock. You can add other users and give them each a unique unlocking method. For example, I've always given myself a passcode and a fingerprint to track who entered and how when checking the lock's event history. The lock blends seamlessly alongside my door. Maria Diaz/ZDNETThe app also lets you customize alert settings and choose the voice volume and language for any voice alerts during the locking operation. Thanks to a built-in gyroscope for motion detection, you can set the device to auto-lock when the door is closed (no extra modules are required).That said, it wasn't all sunshine and automatically locked doors. I sometimes struggled with the app's beta features, especially when it came time to get the U100 to lock behind me or when I swiped it. At one point, I had to go back inside to find the mechanical key because it wasn't working. I later realized this happens when the lock's battery life ends after three to four months.While my experience was mostly positive, I found the app very slow and unreliable at giving me the lock status, even when my phone was within Bluetooth range. Sometimes, it would just give me the wrong status and say the door was locked when I could see clearly that it wasn't, but this was resolved after a few months and some updates.ZDNET's buying advice The Aqara U100 smart lock has a hidden keyhole. Maria Diaz/ZDNETWhy do I still love the Aqara U100? The pros outweigh the cons, and the firmware upgrades keep improving performance.Considering how elaborate smart locks can get, I went into this review biased toward the simplicity of the Level Lock+and the sleek design of the Yale Assure Lock SL. The additional unlocking features that make the Aqara U100 unique turned me around.Being able to consistently (and flexibly) unlock my door with either my fingerprint or Apple Watch, and not one or the other, has added the exact amount of convenience to my life that I look for in all smart home devices.

Russians offer $4 million for Telegram Messenger hack attack.AFP via Getty ImagesWhen it comes to hacking attacks with criminal or state-sponsored espionage intent, there are two holy grails for threat actors: messenger apps and zero-day exploits. Put them together, and you have a recipe for disaster on a massive international scale. This is why an offer by a Russian zero-day broker, which only sells exploits to Russian private and government organizations, to pay a staggering $4 million for a zero-day exploit attack against the Telegram app is of so much concern. Heres what you need to know.The Telegram Zero-Day Attack Bounty BusinessThinking of a zero-day vulnerability in terms of the Holy Grail of cyberattack tools isnt too wide of the mark. A zero-day vulnerability refers to any previously undiscovered bug that could enable an attacker to do something they really shouldnt be able to. The important thing is that this could allow unauthorized, remote, and even no-click access to a system, a user, or data. When a threat actor discovers this and uses it in an ongoing attack before security researchers or the vendor, so there is no opportunity to roll out a fix before the tracks begin, it is known as a zero-day exploit. There are, quite literally, zero days to fix the vulnerability and stop the attacks. OK, so now you understand the urgency of the method, you should also understand the urgency of the concern that a broker is offering such a high price for anyone who can supply it with a full-chain zero-day attack against the Telegram messenger app. Especially when the only people that border will see to are private and government organizations in Russia itself for offensive and defensive operations in cyberspace.Operation Zero Puts Up $6 Million To Buy Telegram Zero-DaysA March 20 posting to the X social media platform was the unlikely place that rewards totaling $6 million were offered to hackers who could find zero-days in the Telegram messenger service.The Operation Zero brokerage said that it would pay the rewards for remote code execution zero-days targeting Android, iOS and Windows as follows:Telegram 1-click RCE Up to $500,000 Telegram 0-click RCE Up to $1,500,000 Telegram full chain Up to $4,000,000I have reached out to both Telegram and Operation Zero for a statement and will update this article if any are forthcoming.

If you want a healthy marriage, theres two things youll have to learn first. Accept them for ... More better, or resent them for worse.gettyNobody enters a marriage expecting the worst for themselves. The hope is always to have a long, happy marriagea happily ever after. In reality, however, happily ever after is never a chance encounter, nor can it be achieved alone.A healthy marriage isnt self-sustaining; its a reciprocal dynamic that requires intentional effort from both sides. If you want it, you and your spouse have to work for it together. And if you want to work together effectively, there are two things you need to accept first.1. You Cant Change Your Partners NeedsSay, for instance, your partner enjoys playing video games on Friday nights a hobby you never really understood, and wish theyd let go of. So, every Friday, while they play a few rounds of online games with their friends, you sit and wonder why they ignore you in favor of a childish pastime.While you may not enjoy gaming, they do. And while they could certainly be spending their Friday night doing something else, no one is inherently being harmed by their choice.In fact, this choice ultimately makes them happy. You are the only one being harmed in this situation and, put bluntly, this reaction is a choice. You too could be spending your Friday night doing something fun and lighthearted. If you choose instead to spend it wishing that they would change, that cross might solely be yours to bear.The lesson here is that, in most marriages, one partners habits and coping mechanisms may be annoying or bothersome to the other, but ultimately harmless to them both in the long run. Just because you dont like these habits, it doesnt mean they need to be fixed. Trying to change your partner to check an idealized box you have in your head will only make them resentful of you.Of course, this isnt the case if these habits are overtly obnoxious or unhealthy. But having the odd need or preference that doesnt align with your own isnt a problemthis is healthy.The occasional boys or girls night, engaging in solo hobbies or simply enjoying their alone time just means that theyre looking after their own well-being. These are habits that can be maintained at the same time as a relationship. In fact, they can even contribute to the well-being of the marriage itself.According to research from the Journal of Marriage and Family, the prevailing notion that permanent companionship is the key to a happy marriage isnt necessarily universal. Instead, the study suggests that individual leisure also plays a very important role in marital satisfaction. In other words, spending time doing things you enjoy alone as well as things you both enjoy can together result in a happier marriage.So, instead of viewing your partners habits and hobbies dimly, you can take it as an opportunity for you to find your own source of self-care. While they play their games, what could you be doing to make yourself happy? Having a quiet glass of wine in the bath with a book, having dinner with friends or perhaps seeing a movie youve been wanting to watch that they have no interest in?The choice is yours: finding your source of happiness for those few hours, or spending it feeling resentful. Ultimately, the key to a balanced marriage is letting go of the mindset that their individual happiness is a threat to yours. Embrace the reality that individuality within a marriage is not only normal, but healthy and make the most of the time you have to nurture your own interests too.2. Your Partner Isnt A Mind ReaderImagine that youve just pulled into the driveway after an impromptu grocery shopping haul. Youve got more bags to carry inside than you can handle in one trip. You know your partner is inside, upstairs. You think to yourself, Well, Im sure theyll come down to help me when they hear me come inside.You take in the first load of bags, but your partner doesnt emerge nor do they emerge after the second and third trips. You take this as a sign that they were uninterested in assisting you. But as youre busy packing the groceries away, you hear them coming down the stairs.At this point, youre a bit irritated and flustered as youve been left to sort this task out on your own. But after greeting you and seeing the immense number of groceries, your partner asks, Why didnt you tell me youd been shopping? I wouldve come down to help. Annoyed, you tell them that you figured theyd come help when they heard you arrive, and when they didnt, you assumed that they just didnt want to help.Should the partner have helped in this situation? Certainly; no partner should have to shoulder the burden of household labor entirely on their own. However, the problem isnt that they didnt help its that they didnt know they were supposed to.In a perfect world, partners would know exactly when, what and how we need help with certain taskswithout us having to tell them. But its not a perfect world. Your partner would have to be able to read your mind to know these exact details, and, unfortunately, mind-reading is still science-fiction.In fact, research from Marriage and Families suggests this to be one of the most prominent dysfunctional beliefs about marital satisfaction that is, that a spouse should be able to read the others mind. These mind-reading beliefs, as the researchers call them, are mythical; they assume a non-existent psychic connection between partners.In reality, marriage teaches us that if you need something, you have to communicate it. While some solvable problems are clear to the naked eye like a leaky faucet or an empty fridge others are invisible. This is why communication is the essence and lifeblood of a functional marriage.Your partner wont help you carry groceries after a shopping trip that they were unaware of. They wont take the kids out for the day if theyre unaware of the fact that youre in desperate need of some alone time. In other words, your partner cant be the hero you need them to be if theyre blind to the fact that youre in need of a savior.Expecting your partner to intuitively know your needs will only set you up for disappointment. A happy marriage requires consistent open communication and transparencyeven when it feels vulnerable or nagging to say what you really need. If you know your partner wants a happy marriage just as much as you do, you have to trust that theyll be there for you when youre in need and asking for help.Do you believe your spouse should be able to read your mind? Take this science-backed test, and find out if such marital myths are impacting your relationship: Belief In Marital Myths Scale

In brief: It hasn't been a good week for Tesla as U.S. safety regulators issued a recall for nearly all Cybertrucks on the road. In an effort to stabilize morale, CEO Elon Musk held an unconventional meeting to reassure employees and address the company's challenges, including a significant decline in stock price. The move marks the eighth safety-related recall for the Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries began just over a year ago. Initiated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall affects more than 46,000 Cybertrucks and primarily relates to an issue with an exterior panel that can detach while driving.The problematic panel, known as a cant rail assembly, is located between the windshield and the roof on both sides of the vehicle. It is secured using a structural adhesive, but the current adhesive is susceptible to environmental degradation.To address this issue, Tesla will replace the panel with a new adhesive that is more resilient and add additional reinforcements. The recall covers all 2024 and 2025 model years, manufactured from November 13, 2023, to February 27, 2025. Tesla became aware of the problem early this year. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 19, 2025.This latest recall is part of a series of setbacks for Tesla, which has faced multiple safety issues with the Cybertruck, including faults in electric inverters and stuck acceleration pedals.Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is working to reassure employees amid a tumultuous period for the company. Following a significant decline in Tesla's stock price more than 50 percent over the past three months Musk addressed employees in a surprise all-hands meeting at Tesla's Texas Gigafactory, urging them to remain optimistic about the company's future. // Related StoriesHe acknowledged the current challenges, admitting that "it feels like Armageddon" when reading news about the company, including instances of vandalism and protests targeting Tesla vehicles and dealerships.He said that Teslas will soon be capable of driving autonomously, a promise he has made as far back as 2016. Musk encouraged employees to hold on to their stock, pointing out the company's potential for innovation and growth."What I'm saying is hang on to your stock... There are times when there are rocky moments, but what I'm here to tell you is that the future is incredibly bright and exciting, and we're going to do things that no one has even dreamed of," he said during the meeting.Musk's message was met with mixed reactions from employees. Some felt reassured by his optimism and commitment to Tesla's mission, while others were skeptical, viewing the event as a publicity stunt or questioning the alignment of Musk's political involvement with Tesla's goals.The meeting was notable not only for its content but also for its unconventional timing and format. Typically, Tesla holds all-hands meetings during regular work hours, but this event was livestreamed on Musk's social media platform X, starting late in the evening.His words seemed to have a positive impact, though, as Tesla shares rose slightly following the stream.

In context: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently said that "real" quantum computers would need a few more years, or even decades, to appear on the market. His comments hurt quantum-related stocks, so now he wants a do-over. Jensen Huang didn't expect his doubts about the immediate commercial viability of quantum computers to affect Wall Street-listed companies so drastically. As part of Nvidia's recent "Quantum Day" event, the Taiwanese businessman and engineer invited guests to explain why his negative remarks were wrong.Earlier this year, Huang said that a practical quantum computer would not be available for purchase for another 15 to 30 years, with 20 years being a more optimistic timeframe. On Thursday, he corrected his statement, saying that quantum computing has the potential to change everything. The technology is still incredibly complex to deliver, though.Huang compared "pre-revenue" quantum companies to Nvidia, which needed more than 20 years to build a proper hardware and software business. He then joked about the market reaction, stating that he was surprised quantum computer companies were already publicly traded. The annual Nvidia GTC Conference included a panel with representatives from 12 different quantum computer companies and start-ups, showing that Nvidia is intensely interested in the quantum computing sector.Nvidia is hands down the world's largest fabless semiconductor company. Nvidia chips are used in powerful simulations to aid in designing and constructing quantum computers. Even though the company could do fine without the quantum business, Nvidia is still interested in supplying the industry and is excited to see where it goes.Jensen Huang isn't alone in expressing some (retracted) skepticism about the feasibility of quantum computing. In 2023, a Nature article stated that currently available quantum computers are good for "absolutely nothing" compared to the traditional binary computer architecture. The technology still needs a lot of breakthroughs, with quantum supremacy still being a dream far off into the future. // Related StoriesHuang also hinted that he wants to avoid making bold predictions about computing from now on. Some years ago, he said that "accelerated computing," which includes Nvidia's GPUs and other specialized chips, would replace traditional CPU-based computing for everything. Of course, he was wrong.
