Qualcomm is fighting an uphill battle in trying to compete with Intel and AMD on PCs. Not only does Windows (and most apps) still have worse support for ARM-based processors than more traditional chips, but Qualcomm’s chips haven’t been powerful enough for many users to justify the switch. It’s a bit of a chicken and the egg situation too. After all, developers aren’t going to want to update their apps... Read more ›

Windows 11 does a lot of things right, including a sleek new design that significantly tidies up the OS’ aesthetic. I think most people should upgrade, and that the pros outweigh the cons. But it’s still a shame that the Start menu is kind of a mess. Although I appreciate the cleaner design and more minimalist UI, I can’t help but feel Windows 11’s Start menu ends up being overcomplicated... Read more ›

A year to the day after she was fired from Google, Timnit Gebru has unveiled plans to wrench AI research out of big tech’s grasp. Gebru, a former co-lead of Google’s Ethical AI team, on Thursday launched an independent lab: the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR). Armed with an initial budget of $3.7 million raised from foundations, DAIR will focus on long-term and community-based research — which can be hard... Read more ›

Everybody deserves to have internet access. It’s as crucial to our ability to thrive in modern society as running water and electricity. Getting that access to rural and/or impoverished areas is one of the great technology challenges of our time. Unfortunately, the people who’ve stepped up the most are those hoping to profit from humanity’s problems at any cost. To that end, companies such as SpaceX, Amazon, OneWeb, and StarNet/GW...

When Jack Dorsey made the sudden public announcement that he had quit as CEO of Twitter, it was only ever going to have happened in one place – Twitter itself. It reminded me very much of Elon Musk’s entertaining tweet adventures, as Dorsey tossed his resignation letter onto the social media platform that he co-founded. You could imagine him sitting back to soak up the theatre of reaction and speculation... Read more ›

Mercedes-Benz unveiled a wild electric show car: Project Maybach. And apart from its striking appearance, the vehicle also has sentimental value. The car was co-designed by the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh. To honor his memory, it was put on display at the Rubell Museum in Miami between December 1 and 2. Abloh worked together with the automaker’s chief design officer Gorden Wagener to develop a new design language for... Read more ›

We’ve been hearing about the potential of Web 3.0 for years – a decentralized web where information is distributed across nodes, making it more resistant to shutdowns and censorship. Specifically, its foundation lies in edge computing, artificial intelligence, and decentralized data networks. But what we haven’t talked enough about, is the massive impact Web 3.0 will have on mobility. Web 3.0 aims to build a new scalable economy where transactions... Read more ›

“Tik-a-Tok-a-Who?”, was Adele’s response to her management’s suggestion to promote her music to younger audiences on Tiktok, the video-sharing platform owned by Chinese company ByteDance. “If everyone’s making music for the TikTok, who’s making music for my generation?”, she asked. Adele might resist, but the platform has nonetheless been popularising and promoting her song Easy on me, with creators using it in almost one million videos in the first month... Read more ›

I wish I was a crime podcast host right now — it’d be my favorite way to tell this tantalizing story about a tech worker hacking his own company, demanding a ransom, and later turning into a ‘whistleblower’ to cover his tracks. According to a document published by a New York district court, Nikolas Sharp, a former employee of network device maker Ubiquiti, hacked the company’s system and demanded a... Read more ›

Now big tech has its sights set on the world of finance with the launch of Google Pay, the Apple Card, Facebook’s Libra, and Amazon’s loans for SMEs. But, while these... Read more ›

Reddit is about to get more rapid — just as I was yearning for social media to slow down. The company has launched a range of real-time animations and notification features that sound unsettlingly energetic. Votes and comments will no longer be a static number on posts and feeds. Instead, users will see dynamic animations as the numbers change. Votes will animate in real-time as the counts go up or... Read more ›

There’s a lot of discussion about “time” in the world of quantum physics. At the micro level, where waves and particles can behave the same, time tends to be much more malleable than it is in our observable realm of classical physics. Think about the clock on the wall. You can push the hands backwards, but that doesn’t cause time itself to rewind. Time marches on. But things are much... Read more ›

Lufthansa Technik recently shared a teaser for their latest luxury plane cabin. It’s called the EXPLORER and is the brainchild of the VIP and Special Mission division. This division makes luxury cabins for jet planes, including Boeing 737, Airbus A320 family aircraft, A350s, and 747s. But what’s on offer, and how does it compare to the halcyon glamour days of flying before you had to take your shoes off at... Read more ›

The Formula E Championship debuted in 2014 and has since then proved that electric vehicles can send shivers down our spine in suspenseful races — just like their Earth-kill forebears. Formula E started the tranformation of car racing with the Gen1 vehicle, which later evolved into the more powerful and fast Gen2. Now we get a glimpse of the Gen3 race car that — speaking of evolution — has turned... Read more ›

News here in Germany is that Elon Musk’s Gigafactory in Brandenburg is about to start production. As an Ausländer myself who has lived in East Germany (Berlin and Leipzig) for almost a decade, I know that Germany has some cultural quirks. So I wanted to offer Elon some tips from the land of wurst, beer, and the German way. I got assistance from a former factory floor worker from Tesla’s... Read more ›
