Only 39% of Americans would switch to an EV — here’s why

A recent study by Pew Research Center shows that Americans are almost evenly divided over phasing out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035. Specifically, 47% US adults support the proposal, while 51% oppose it. Similarly, there are mixed feelings over switching from a gas or diesel car to an electric vehicle. 39% of Americans surveyed are likely to consider buying an EV for their next car, and a slightly higher...

Accessible technology is better when it’s built by those who rely on it

Unless you’re blind or know someone who is, you might not know that blind people use the same smartphones as sighted people. In fact, many blind people use touch-screen smartphones every day. The secret is that smartphones have a screen reader, a tool that allows blind people to use a mix of gestures and taps, along with vibrations or audio feedback, to use their apps. Screen readers work on desktop... Read more

Dark patterns that mislead consumers are all over the internet

In January 2018, Kelly Ross, a mother of three in Washington, D.C., saw a charge from the children’s education app, ABCmouse, which her kids hadn’t used for nearly four years. She thought she had canceled her subscription and called the company asking why she’d received a bill for about $50. She remembered the company responded that she should have read the fine print.

Apple promises AirTags will get an Android app and better privacy

Apple’s AirTag item trackers launched with much fanfare at the company’s event in April. While the firm boasted about its privacy-focused features, several reports published after the launch noted that there are many ways to stalk people using this device. The most common method was to slip an AirTag into someone’s bag to track them. At that time, Apple had set AirTags to play a sound after three days of... Read more

Twitter’s new ‘Blue’ service is yet another tax on minorities

Twitter today launched its new Blue subscription service in Canada and Australia. As Neural’s Thomas Maucaulay reported earlier, users in the initial subscriber areas can now pay a small monthly fee to get a VIP social media experience. The big sell here is that Blue subscribers will get access to an “undo tweet” ability, bookmark folders, “reader” mode, and “dedicated subscription customer support.” None of that makes any sense. Wasn’t... Read more

China’s ‘Wu Dao’ AI is 10X bigger than GPT-3, and it can sing

It can generate text, audio, and images, and, according to Engadget, it can even “power virtual idols.” The reason for... Read more

Review: Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series are its cheapest (and best) wireless earbuds yet

Google just announced the Pixel Buds A-Series, a more affordable take on its wireless earbuds. They cost $99 and they’re available to pre-order today in the US and Canada and ship June 17.

Why the United Nations urgently needs its own regulation for AI

The European Commission recently published a proposal for a regulation on artificial intelligence (AI). This is the first document of its kind to attempt to tame the multi-tentacled beast that is artificial intelligence. “The sun is starting to set on the Wild West days of artificial intelligence,” writes Jeremy Kahn. He may have a point. When this regulation comes into effect, it will change the way that we conduct AI... Read more

NASA is returning to Venus to study why Earth’s ‘evil twin’ became a blazing hellhole

The space agency has selected two new missions to Venus that are expected to launch between 2028 and 2030. They will study why a planet with a similar mass, size, and composition to our own turned into a blazing hellhole, while Earth became fractionally more hospitable. The first mission,... Read more

Left-hand turns slow down traffic and make roads unsafe — let’s get rid of them

To reduce travel times, fuel consumption and carbon emissions, in 2004, UPS changed delivery routes to minimize the left-hand turns drivers made. Although this seems like a rather modest change, the results are anything but: UPS claims that per year, eliminating left turns – specifically the time drivers sit waiting to cut across traffic – saves 10 million gallons of fuel, 20,000 tons of carbon emissions and allows them to...
