Over the past few days, Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg have talked about building an all-encompassing virtual world, a ‘Metaverse‘ if you will. The hypothetical universe will live across AR, VR, PC, consoles, phones, and more. While we don’t know what kind of devices the company will release under the program, it told The Verge that it’s planning to launch a pair of smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban. However, there... Read more ›

Windows 11 Insiders — what Microsoft calls its beta testers — have been able to try out the company’s latest and greatest OS practically since it was announced (actually, it leaked a little before). But the builds so far have been part of the Dev channel, where Microsoft releases its earliest and buggiest builds for its most die-hard users and developers. I couldn’t reasonably recommend anyone install these builds unless... Read more ›

We already give away so much of our data freely to the companies we deal with that we are vulnerable if their security is breached. And, unfortunately, that is happening way too often. So it is really in our best interests if we do the most we can to protect ourselves on our own personal computers and mobile devices. Thankfully, a lifetime subscription to KeepSolid VPN Unlimited lets us just... Read more ›

Can we find alien technology? That is the ambitious goal of the Galileo Project, launched this week by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb with substantial private financial backing. The project is far from the first attempt to detect signs of civilizations beyond Earth. Loeb has been criticized in the past for his dismissive approach to previous efforts to find extraterrestrial life and his argument that an alien artifact passed through our... Read more ›

BlackBerry is a name that will probably be forever associated with smartphones, but the company has been branching out in unexpected ways since it killed its phone business back in 2016.

Self-driving car startup Aurora is ready to go public in a reverse merger with Reinvent Technology Partners Y, a special acquisition company (SPAC). The merger will give Aurora an infusion of cash to develop autonomous trucks and, later, self-driving passenger cars. Going public is not the norm for companies that don’t have a working and profitable business model. And what makes Aurora’s reverse IPO even more odd is that it... Read more ›

In my mind, there are two brands operating at the top of the ebike game: VanMoof and Cowboy. I’m a big fan of both, but, with the Cowboy 4, the company may have just edged ahead. Recently, I had the pleasure of riding the Cowboy 4 and Cowboy 4 ST for about a week — and damn, I was impressed. Long story short, the Cowboy 4 is an excellent iterative... Read more ›

Last October, five months after Spotify acquired Joe Rogan’s podcast, several employees protested against the show’s transphobic nature. There was even more controversy after Rogan hosted an episode with Alex Jones, whose InfoWars podcast was banned by Facebook and Apple. Spotify has mostly diverted the questions about the podcasts’ content — until now. In an interview with Axios, CEO Daniel Ek, said that the company exercises no editorial control over... Read more ›

Ebikes are inevitably heavier than their analog counterparts thanks to the addition of a motor and battery, so getting them to approximate the weight of typical ‘analog’ counterparts isn’t going to happen unless you make some unique changes to the frame. And nothing is more associated with reduced weight in the cycling world than good old carbon fiber. That’s the approach FuroSystems’ Furo X takes as one of relatively few... Read more ›

Has this ever happened to you? You’re cavorting through deep space at near the speed of light without a care of the world when, suddenly, you realize you forgot to replace the toner cartridge in your office printer back on Earth before you left. Rather than face your disappointed co-workers after such an unforgivable oversight, you decide it would be best if you just stopped time and waited for them... Read more ›

The Galileo Project will use a network of telescopes and astronomical surveys to hunt for evidence of “extraterrestrial technological civilizations” (ETCs). AI will play a key role in the program.

TLDR: The Air Pix Pocket-Sized Flying Camera is a selfie cam drone that’s like having your own airborne photographer at all times. Sometimes, you want a drone that cuts through the air like a fighter jet, bobbing and weaving and zinging along like an aerobatic daredevil.

The government is trying to achieve a renaissance in vocational education with its industry-focused T-level courses for... Read more ›
