Apple has long had a strange relationship with gaming. In many respects, the company has happily let competitors like Sony and Microsoft gobble up the lion’s share of the market. Yet, over the past few years, Apple has started to address this gap in its offering. The biggest move Apple made in this space was, of course, Apple Arcade, its mobile gaming subscription. But there are growing signs that the... Read more ›

Elon Musk’s time on Twitter’s board of directors has ended before it even began. On Sunday, the platform’s CEO announced that Elon won’t be accepting a seat on its board after all. That’s just five days after the celebrity billionaire bought a 9.2% stake of Twitter — making him the biggest shareholder of the company — and was appointed a board member. Take a look at CEO Parag Agrawal’s announcement:... Read more ›

Big surprise to folks who know me: Out of all my hobbies, my favorite by far is cycling. I’ve been riding around New York and its environs for more than a decade now, and I love the freedom of exploring far off corners of the city under my own power, as well as traversing the less-far off corners in a more intimate way than I would if I were encased...

Technological advances in marketing, logistics, and production have meant that companies big and small can benefit from the wider international market of suppliers and consumers. However, internationalization has also come with its own challenges. Global brands are more sensitive to global events that reverberate across their supply chains and reshape consumer habits. The COVID-19 pandemic brought new challenges to businesses across the globe. Global supply chain disruptions, more people shopping... Read more ›

In the past, when we thought about the homes of the future, our wildest fantasies often conjured images of a Jetsons-style smart home with a garage for our hover cars, conveyor belt walkways, robotic maids, and a kitchen that prepares full five-course meals with the click of a few buttons. Today, while futuristic gadgets will still have a place, the focus for the homes of the future is on sustainability.... Read more ›

“Technology from the past comes to save the future from itself.” That’s how Graydon Hoare, the creator of Rust, describes what he wants to achieve. That’s one of the key hallmarks of Rust: using technologies that are well-known to academia but rarely implemented in contemporary programming languages. Technologies that are old, reliable, and sometimes forgotten. But which, above all, work extremely well. These technologies are used mainly for one thing:... Read more ›

If you’ve shopped for high-end headphones recently, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve come across something called the ‘Harman target curve,’ or perhaps just the ‘Harman curve.’ Maybe you read a review that said a pair of headphones sound amazing because they’ve been tuned to said target. Or perhaps you saw an edgy comment suggesting headphones tuned to the Harman curve suck. But why exactly are more manufacturers, audiophiles, and... Read more ›

Just days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, thousands of people in Canada joined a truckers’ protest movement called the “freedom convoy” to oppose government health measures. To support the protest movement organizers launched a fundraising campaign on the GoFundMe platform. However, the social funding platform seized the approximately $10 million in donations that were raised, alleging that the movement failed to both prohibit the promotion of violence and harassment...

When you use the internet, you leave behind a trail of data, a set of digital footprints. These include your social media activities, web browsing behavior, health information, travel patterns, location maps, information about your mobile device use, photos, audio and video. This data is collected, collated, stored and analyzed by various organizations, from the big social media companies to app makers to data brokers. As you might imagine, your... Read more ›

If you’re an iPhone user, check your storage now by selecting Settings, then General, and then iPhone Storage. You’ll probably see a lot of recognizable categories eating up your storage — apps, photos, and so on. But there is one, often rather large category, that may raise concerns: “Other”. It’s shaded light grey and often represents a significant proportion of the overall storage available. There is one, often rather large... Read more ›

OpenAI has unveiled a new AI tool that turns text into images — and the results are stunning. Named DALL-E 2, the system is the successor to a model unveiled last year. While its predecessor generated some outputs, the new version is a major upgrade. This picture in the style of Claude Monet illustrates the improvements. Credit: OpenAI DALL-E-2 adds enhanced textual comprehension, faster image generation, and four times greater... Read more ›

All the publishers and editors out there thinking of replacing their journalists with AI might want to pump their brakes. Everybody’s boss, the Google algorithm, classifies AI-generated content as spam. John Mueller, Google’s SEO authority, laid the issue to rest while speaking at a recent “Google Search Central SEO office-hours hangout.” Per a report from Search Engine Journal’s Matt Southern, Mueller says GPT-3 and other content generators are not considered...

Tesla’s “Cyber Rodeo” party, a grand opening event for the company’s new gigafactory in Texas, had a flamboyance and excessiveness to match Elon Musk’s personality. Fireworks were shot and thousands of drones were deployed in the sky to form a map of the state of Texas, the Cybertruck, and a Shiba Inu dog. Elon gloriously entered the stage wearing a stupid cowboy hat and riding a first-generation Roadster — mind... Read more ›

Scientists have long understood that the human brain changes in size as we age, but until now there’s never been a method by which we can chart its growth. An international team of researchers led by Cambridge University’s Richard Bethlehem recently published the world’s first growth chart for brains. Up front: How are you supposed to tell if your brain is growing properly? It’s an important question. And we’ve had... Read more ›

There’s a lot of attention right now on the idea of making public transport free. In the first instance, you might think it’s a no-brainer. You can ride public trains, trams, buses, and ferries at no charge. That sounds too good to be true, but they’re a reality in many parts of the world. Over 100 cities have some form of free public transport, but there are many different models... Read more ›

As desirable vacation destinations go, war-torn Ukraine must surely rate low. But in the first month of Russia’s invasion, Airbnb bookings in Ukraine boomed, as people around the world used the accommodation platform to channel more than US$15 million in donations to the country. As with other forms of direct donation, using Airbnb to channel aid to Ukraine has been problematic. The company was relatively quick to waive the 20%... Read more ›

I love Star Trek. Or more precisely, I really love the 80s, 90s and 00s Trek. Nothing is more soothing to me than the low hum of the Enterprise D, with Data and Geordi La Forge discussing the alignment of dilithium crystals in their coveted warp core. While most of Star Trek’s ‘technobabble’ is intricately thought out nonsense, it’s no secret that early sci-fi has had a huge influence on... Read more ›

EV owners got more than they bargained for when they tried to juice up their cars this week on the Isle of Wight, UK. Three charging points — which were supposed to display the website of the council’s charging network — were hacked to show porn. The issue was brought up by the affected drivers to local paper Country Press, which then reached out to the council. A spokesperson rushed... Read more ›

I recently attended the Autonomy Mobility Conference in Paris. A great 2-day experience filled with keynotes and great conversations all centred on what’s next in mobility. This is what I learned. First of all, I found it quite fitting that the conference took place in Paris. The mobility landscape of the French capital has been radically transformed during the past two years, and it really shows that the future of... Read more ›

We’re in 2022, so grabbing text from a website or a document should be pretty easy, right? But that’s not always the case. There might be part of a site that doesn’t easily let you copy some text, or maybe the text you need to copy is part of an image. So we’re going to talk about a few tools to capture text easily. iPhone Live Text Apple recently rolled... Read more ›
