Nearly a year ago, the tech giant cut the plug on the Android Auto for phone screens for users of Android 12, redirecting them to Googleâs Assistant driving mode. Now, Google is shutting down the app altogether. If users of Android 11 and older versions open the app, theyâll see the following, terse message: âAndroid Auto for phone screens will stop working soonâ Hereâs a screenshot of my Xiaomi Redmi...

While the electrification of cars is moving at a fast pace, passenger ferries continue to be almost exclusively powered by fossil fuels. Thatâs because the current battery capacity isnât enough to juice these large ships for longer distances. Scientists at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the SSPA marine research facility have found a way to bypass this problem â using hydrofoils. Hydrofoils arenât a novel idea, and...

Yesterday, Tiana Watts-Porter, Technical Recruiter at Microsoft, put a rescue call out on LinkedIn inviting Tesla employees to escape from the chains of the desks and factory floor at Tesla. In a now-deleted post that mentioned Tesla employees directly, she declared: âHere at Microsoft and our affiliates LinkedIn and GitHub we are offering ALL THE OPTIONS!!! You can do things your way, and be yourself here at Microsoft! â  And...

A team of researchers in Europe have successfully created a two-state system using time crystals. The correct response to reading that is: eureka! We would have also accepted âwow,â âOMG,â and âhooray,â given the potential implications of this incredible breakthrough. Up front: Time crystals are a recently discovered phase of matter. In their ground state, they oscillate between different configurations without losing or using energy. (Read more about how time... Read more âș

The current energy crisis has increased gas prices so much that sitting behind your carâs wheel doesnât come without a high cost (pun intended). And, perhaps, thatâs exactly the impetus we need to (partly) ditch our cars once and for all. The rise in gas prices and the subsequent inflation can work as an accelerator for the reduction of car use and the shift to cleaner modes of transport, such... Read more âș

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real system â a building, the power grid, a city, even a human being â that mimics the characteristics of the system. A digital twin is more than just a computer model, however. It receives data from sensors in the real system to constantly parallel the systemâs state. A digital twin helps people analyze and predict a systemâs behavior under different... Read more âș

Climate tech is an emerging industry that budding entrepreneurs should definitely keep an eye on. And not just because they can solve urgent environmental issues â they can also generate profit. I spoke with Aaron Cohen, co-founder of Therma, which has managed to do exactly that. The US-based company has developed a sensor for commercial refrigerators (in restaurants, schools, convenience stores, etc), which monitors the temperature and humidity levels in... Read more âș

Many cities are partnering with escooter providers to get cars out of their landscapes. But should we get behind this type of transport when they are massively underutilized by women? Research in Paris, for instance, found that 66% of dockless e-scooter riders were male. This week, Voi released a report on Shared escooters and gender equity. It reveals a significant disparity in the way men and women experience escooters â... Read more âș

NASAâs long-awaited return to the Moon is starting to take shape â literally. The space agency has developed a unique lunar orbit for the Gateway space station, which will provide a staging post for visits to Earthâs nearest neighbor. Dubbed the near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO), the celestial path has never been tested in space â until now. In a launch window that runs from June 13 to June 22,... Read more âș

New rules on mobile app stores could trigger a wave of creative, cheaper apps with more privacy options for users. Every budding developer dreams of creating an app that goes viral and makes lots of money overnight. The Angry Birds game became a worldwide phenomenon within weeks when it launched in 2009 and made US$10 million (ÂŁ8 million) in its first year. But, overall, the numbers make it clear that...

This article was originally published on .cult by Randy Tolentino. .cult is a Berlin-based community platform for developers. We write about all things career-related, make original documentaries, and share heaps of other untold developer stories from around the world. Years ago I worked on a small, distributed team that was split between two locations. The designers and frontend developers were based out of Austin, Texas, and our engineering team, along...

A man wading in a pool of his own consciousness, surrealistically draped in the hallucinations of an artificial intelligence, shouts at me about poetry. He contorts himself with passion as his rhetoric reaches its fever pitch â you might say he âpeaksâ â and suddenly bursts into self-awareness like a phoenix, renewed. Finally, he shakes an iPhone at me, declaring it a monument to human ambition and actuation. After watching,... Read more âș

A year after completing the first powered and controlled flight on another world, NASAâs Ingenuity helicopter is still setting records on Mars. The chopper recently hit a pair of new milestones: its farthest and fastest ever flights on the red planet. The rotorcraft traveled 704 meters at a speed of 19 kmph on its landmark 25th flight. That might not win a Grand Prix on Earth, but itâs pretty impressive... Read more âș

In the tropics, the deep sea is cold and the sea surface is very warm. That temperature difference can be harnessed and turned into electricity. If we can improve the technology, this method of producing power could be a godsend for island nations reliant on expensive and polluting diesel for their power. For more than a century, researchers have explored the idea of ocean thermal energy conversion. Thereâs nothing fundamentally... Read more âș

Video games are increasingly incorporating blockchains, the decentralised databases that underpin cryptocurrencies, as well as NFTs and other âdigital assetsâ. New games are emerging expressly to support blockchain technology, while traditional games are being updated to incorporate blockchains. As of October 2021, âcrypto gamingâ accounted for more than half of the blockchain activity over that quarter. At the same time, a treasury inquiry has led to consumer groups calling for...

Humanity is edging ever-closer to extinction, but donât worry â the tech lords have deigned to save us. Elon Musk, for instance, wants to take us to a Martian colony. Sure, many will perish on the journey, but the survivors can enjoy a nightmarish existence, which theyâll fund through indentured labor on the hellscape. Yes. There will be a lot of jobs on Mars! â Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 17,... Read more âș

Turned into a pop-culture icon by the Back to the Future film franchise, the DeLorean is coming back to life after 39 long years! And the best part? Itâs being reimagined as a whole new EV by the incarnated DMC, which was acquired by Stephen Wynne in 1995, after the original company declared bankruptcy. After months of anticipation since it was first teased, we finally get the first proper look... Read more âș

Omnichannelâs steady march to ubiquity has continued over the past decade. It seems like literally every brand is now omnichannel. Or are they? According to a report by McKinsey&Company: We find that retailers are often swayed by new technologies that sound promising, but too often donât deliver. In all the buzz, brands are struggling to be present everywhere, all the time. New platforms and tools are cropping up presenting new... Read more âș

When a company tells me itâs found a way to not only create a new form of public transport, but also make it financially viable without city funding, Iâm skeptical. Silicon Valley company Glydways wants to turn conventional mass public transport on its head, by introducing small, electric automated vehicles or âpod carsâ that can carry four people and operate on a network of specially built guideways. They run on-demand... Read more âș

AI now guides numerous life-changing decisions, from assessing loan applications to determining prison sentences. Proponents of the approach argue that it can eliminate human prejudices, but critics warn that algorithms can amplify our biases â without even revealing how they reached the decision. This can result in AI systems leading to Black people being wrongfully arrested, or child services unfairly targeting poor families. The victims are frequently from groups that... Read more âș
