If you have two similar-looking USB-C to C cables, chances are that you might not be able to tell anything about their capabilities by just looking at them. The USB-C standard can handle a lot of things: charging, data transfer, and audio and video streaming. But not all USB-C cables are made alike. When I bought my M1-powered MacBook Air, I was excited about carrying only one charger to juice... Read more ›

By: Dara Kerr When the St. Louis police arrived on the scene last April, Lyft driver Elijah Newman was already dead. Officers found him in the driver’s seat of his car with a gunshot wound to his torso. In a probable cause statement provided to The Markup by the Circuit Attorney’s office, detectives say they located a bullet casing next to Newman’s body and a Lyft light affixed to the... Read more ›

Have you heard the one about the algorithm that tells hilarious jokes? Me neither — but I have seen AI gags bomb like US presidents. Stand-up robots, improvised joke generators, Q&A pun systems, and android bartenders have all failed to make me laugh. “You can get a rum and coke anywhere,” Brian Connors, a hospitality professor, told the Miami Herald, “but how often are you going to get it from...

Last May, Tesla stuck the middle finger to the entire auto industry, deeming the use of multiple sensors for autonomous driving functionalities… unnecessary. It ditched radars and initiated a camera-only approach, dubbed “Tesla Vision.” And while we’re used to Elon’s unorthodox methods, Toyota’s decision to follow suit is definitely surprising. The car maker’s self-driving subsidiary Woven Planet will be the second company to adopt a vision-based strategy in pursuit of... Read more ›

Throughout the latter half of 2021, as it became clear that Russia was massing a large portion of its conventional combat power on the eastern borders of Ukraine, analysts offered contrasting predictions about the role cyberspace would play in an armed conflict. These predictions capture an ongoing debate about whether conflict in cyberspace is destined to supplant conventional conflict or exacerbate it. As the war has evolved, it’s clear that... Read more ›

Conventional lithium-ion batteries may have sown the seeds for our transition to electric mobility, but they have certain shortcomings. They’re flammable, their range is still limited, and they’re not as quick to charge as we’d like them to be. Making EVs more competitive with gas-guzzlers will require remedies for these issues, and to achieve this we need a breakthrough in battery technology. That’s where lithium-metal batteries come in. How do... Read more ›

In a world where checking your phone 96 times a day is the norm for some, it’s hard to imagine a life without the internet. With the mainstreaming of fiber broadband and researchers developing 6G technology, sometimes the privilege of easy internet accessibility blinds us to the reality that 37% of the global population (2.9 billion people) still doesn’t have access to the internet. The not-so world wide web Ask... Read more ›

Did you know Solo Ceesay, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Calaxy, is speaking at TNW Conference this summer? Check out the full list of speakers here. The world and its global economy are chiming with wild variety, and with that comes a miscellany of rules and regulations reflective of the jurisdiction one is trying to govern. What works for A doesn’t necessarily work for B, and as you can... Read more ›

Mark Zuckerberg, prince of my heart, recently said his employees “lovingly” refer to his attention as being like the Eye of Sauron. And you know what? I believe him. Big Zuck brought this comparison up on the Tim Ferris Show, explaining that he has this “unending amount of energy to go work on something, and if you point that at any given team, you will just burn them.” Yes, you...

Applying for a new (or first) job can be time consuming. The job application process, particularly for graduate schemes, involves multiple steps: tailoring your application, psychometric testing, interviews and participation in a day or more of assessments online or in person. The process can also involve intrusive scrutiny of your digital footprints. Behind the scenes, up to 80% of employers and recruitment agencies use social media content as part of... Read more ›

´I bet many analysts have discussed this topic repeatedly, but a couple of research papers later, I realized how much of it remains uncovered by the average Joe. I began my research with the technical understanding of regulations, practices, and limitations; and ended the study with the psychological and behavioral effects of driving on a human being. I have enjoyed the latter more, and that is why I took down... Read more ›

Meta is not hosting its annual F8 developer conference this year, likely because it’s focusing on building other things, like its metaverse and ‘Zuck Bucks.’ To be clear, it’s actually hosting a couple of smaller events this year. In May, it’s hosting a Conversations event that’s all about business messaging. And later in October, it’s going to have a Connect event, and that will be all things metaverse. In its... Read more ›

3D printing is awesome. But it also kind of sucks. 3D printing allows you to build all sorts of gadgets and gizmos, fix things without having to locate specialty components, and solve problems you didn’t even realize you had. You can build sporks! Folding coat hangers! Ratchet wrenches! Wheelchairs for dogs! If it has a shape, you can probably print it. But 3D printing is slow. Until I tested my... Read more ›

Around the world, revolutionary changes are under way in transportation. More electric vehicles are on the road, people are taking advantage of sharing mobility services such as Uber and Lyft, and the rise in telework during the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the way people think about commuting. Transportation is a growing source of the global greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change, accounting for 23% of energy-related carbon dioxide... Read more ›

Are you bored of EV chargers that ruin your home’s aesthetic? Well, they could be a thing of the past. On April 1 (remember that date), EV home charger company Andersen announced its so-called Andersen-2-Invisible (A-2-I) charger. Thanks to built-in 4K mini screens, the charger is able to mimic the pattern of the wall behind it, blend in, and camouflage itself, much like a chameleon. Consumers need only upload a... Read more ›

Scientists at a laboratory in England have shattered the record for the amount of energy produced during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The production of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus – or JET – experiment in England has been called “a breakthrough” by some news outlets and caused quite a lot of excitement among physicists. But a common line regarding fusion electricity production... Read more ›

South Korea will likely push Google to remove certain clauses from its new billing system policy — specifically the one that requires developers to take off external links to purchase digital goods. The search giant’s new policy for in-app payments on the Play Store came into effect on April 1. It requires developers to mandatorily use the company’s own billing system. What’s more, apps can’t use external links or promotional... Read more ›

Can’t afford an EV? Not willing to give up on a classic car? Want to eschew rising fuel prices? There are lots of good reasons to increase your car’s fuel economy. But one thing you might want to consider is running your car on vegetable oil. I took a deep dive, and I’m sharing all I learned with you about making the switch: Not all cars are equal Firstly, not... Read more ›

Imagine you could find out exactly what your coworkers earn. You wouldn’t need to subtly bring up the conversation over Friday night drinks. You wouldn’t have to guestimate how much of a raise you should ask for during your annual review, and you would know exactly how much your role is worth when you decide to apply for a new job. Wouldn’t things be, well, easier? Thanks to a new... Read more ›

Earlier this year, Google announced that it was going to discontinue the free version of G Suite. The company gave you two options: choose a paid plan, or continue with a no-cost plan with a self-hosted email address. Now the search giant has issued a few key updates to this rollout plan on its support page. It’s giving users a bit more time to switch to new plans. Google has... Read more ›
