Digital technology has also enabled professionals to work remotely without being tied down by an office job. The creator economy encompasses the new generation of creators and innovators who are not limited by the 9â5. This trend has been emerging for years, but itâs only recently been given a name....

The latest research by the UKâs Research Institute for the Disabled Consumers (RiDC) has brought to light some very disturbing findings: just 0.003% of charging locations across the country have been designed to be accessible to disabled drivers. According to the UK Equality Act 2010, itâs illegal to discriminate against individuals with disabilities. Yet the lack of inclusive charging infrastructure means that the countryâs 14 million disabled people might well... Read more âș

One of the reasons for TikTokâs meteoric rise was people performing challenges on various themes. Now, Snapchat wants to replicate that success, and reward creators in the process as well. The company announced a program called Spotlight Challenges for creators to participate and win money up to $25,000: Snapchatters can win a share of the total prize amount available for each Spotlight Challenge, which will typically range from $1k to...

Twitter has been experimenting a lot with features related to conversations on the platform over the last few months. Its latest test involves a warning for when youâre about to enter a âheated discussion.â The social network said that itâll display a prompt on Android and iOS for conversations it thinks can get intense. The prompt seems to remind you of basic moral values like âRemember the human (in the... Read more âș

The millennia-old search for extraterrestrial life has, so far, yielded little in the way of scientifically useful results. As far as humanity can prove, ET is purely hypothetical. Yet there are more believers than skeptics. Even in the scientific community. It seems like the generally accepted belief on alien life can be boiled down to: the universe is very big and it would be silly to think that weâre all... Read more âș

Whistleblower Frances Haugen has exposed major problems at Facebook, but the data scientist has also proposed some solutions. One of her most eye-catching suggestions is changing the ordering of news feeds on Facebook and Instagram. Facebookâs algorithms currently steer users to content that generates more engagement. Haugen told a Senate panel on Wednesday that this approach can have dire consequences: It is causing teenagers to be exposed to more anorexia... Read more âș

Appleâs plan to roll out tools to limit the spread of child sexual abuse material has drawn praise from some privacy and security experts as well as by child protection advocacy groups. There has also been an outcry about invasions of privacy. These concerns have obscured another even more troublesome problem that has received very little attention: Appleâs new feature uses design elements shown by research to backfire. One of...

The European Parliament has called for bans on predictive policing and biometric mass surveillance. In a resolution adopted on Tuesday, MEPs also voted to prohibit social scoring systems, the use of AI in judicial decisions, and private facial recognition databases â like the ClearviewAI system. A majority of lawmakers (377 to 248) backed the wide-ranging resolution on the use of AI in criminal law and policing. Bulgarian MEP Petar Vitanov,... Read more âș

AI can leave a staggering carbon footprint, but it can also help us fight climate change. Unsurprisingly, Google has been keen to highlight the fieldâs more positive impacts. On Tuesday, the tech giant unveiled two new AI-powered attempts to support sustainable travel. The first is eco-friendly routing for Google Maps. The service has been updated with a new model thatâs designed to reduce a driverâs carbon footprint. The model analyzes... Read more âș

The Nintendo Switch OLED has arrived! In case you missed the announcement, this is an updated version of the Japanese game giantâs record-breaking console. There is one issue though (and itâs something we explored in this comparison piece): on paper, the OLED model isnât that different from the regular Switch. This is disappointing â especially for people excited about the potential of a Pro Switch. Donât worry! All is not... Read more âș

With the right computer program, proteins become pleasant music. There are many surprising analogies between proteins, the basic building blocks of life, and musical notation. These analogies can be used not only to help advance research but also to make the complexity of proteins accessible to the public. Weâre computational biologists who believe that hearing the sound of life at the molecular level could help inspire people to learn more... Read more âș

Welcome to TNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff. When Apple rolled out the iOS 15 developer beta for iPhones back in June, I thoroughly enjoyed Safariâs redesigned layout with a tab bar on the bottom. However, many folks thought that the choice was hideous. Now that iOS 15 has been rollout to... Read more âș

Europe is facing an energy crisis thanks to low wind-power generation, broken connections that allow electricity to be shared across nations and shrinking nuclear energy sources. The UK has responded by burning more gas to produce electricity â but gas prices are at a record high. The result is that wholesale electricity costs are at their highest levels in years, and this is having a knock-on effect for anything that... Read more âș

Recently, weâve been doing a bit of research into the most in-demand programming languages, specifically focusing on Python, and itâs growing popularity among aspiring developers. There has been an increase in the demand for Python developers over the last few years, a trend that has gone nowhere in 2021 (and will no doubt stick around into 2022 and beyond). So, if youâve done the work and learned the language, what... Read more âș

If you think passwords provide enough security for your accounts, youâd be wrong. Itâs important to protect your accounts with additional security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA), which allows you to use an app or a device for verification. Google already provides you an option to use hardware security keys, authenticator apps, prompts on your other devices with Google apps, and SMS-based verification codes as valid 2FA alternatives. While this... Read more âș

After experimenting with exoskeletons, performance-enhancing drugs, and AR goggles to develop super soldiers, the US military has taken a punt on a brain-modulating skullcap. The army has issued funding for a wearable device that analyzes how the brain disposes of waste during sleep. The system will be developed by researchers at Rice University, Houston Methodist Hospital, and Baylor College of Medicine. Ultimately, the team wants to create a headset that... Read more âș

At long last, we now know when Google will reveal the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro: October 19. The company today sent invites to the press for its upcoming virtual event, which will be streamed to all at 10 AM Pacific Time. Well, ârevealâ is a bit of a stretch. Google itself has already given us a solid look at the phoneâs exterior design and announced its most notable... Read more âș

A woman with severe depression says her life has turned around after treatment with an experimental brain implant. The 36-year-old has been fitted with a system thatâs been described as a âpacemaker for the brain.â Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco surgically implanted the matchbox-sized device in the patientâs skull more than a year ago. The system then began searching for neural signals of depression. Once these patterns... Read more âș
