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 âș

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 driverâs seat of his car with a gunshot wound to his torso. In a probable cause statement provided to The Markup by the Circuit Attorneyâs office, detectives say they located a bullet casing next to Newmanâs body and a Lyft light affixed to the...

Have you heard the one about the algorithm that tells hilarious jokes? Me neither â 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. âYou can get a rum and coke anywhere,â Brian Connors, a hospitality professor, told the Miami Herald, âbut 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 âTesla Vision.â And while weâre used to Elonâs unorthodox methods, Toyotaâs decision to follow suit is definitely surprising. The car makerâs self-driving subsidiary Woven Planet will be the second company to adopt a vision-based strategy in pursuit of... Read more âș

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, itâs clear that...

Conventional lithium-ion batteries may have sown the seeds for our transition to electric mobility, but they have certain shortcomings. Theyâre flammable, their range is still limited, and theyâre not as quick to charge as weâd 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. Thatâs where lithium-metal batteries come in. How do... Read more âș

In a world where checking your phone 96 times a day is the norm for some, itâs 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 doesnât have access to the internet. The not-so world wide web Ask... Read more âș

Mark Zuckerberg, prince of my heart, recently said his employees âlovinglyâ 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 âunending amount of energy to go work on something, and if you point that at any given team, you will just burn them.â 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 âș

ÂŽI 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 âș

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

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 didnât 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 âș

Are you bored of EV chargers that ruin your homeâs 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...

The production of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus â or JET â experiment in England has been called âa breakthroughâ by some news outlets and caused quite a lot of excitement among physicists.
