Spotify is officially marking its entry into the live audio arena with an app called Greenroom. However, it’s not entirely a new app. The streaming service has redesigned the Locker Room app — which it acquired back in March — with new bells and whistles. Apart from Locker Room’s live sports conversations feature, Spotify is also planning to add categories such as music, culture, and entertainment. Still feels like another... Read more ›

Last month, China successfully landed and deployed the Zhurong rover on Mars, becoming the second country ever to set wheels on the surface of the red planet. Last year the United States, the United Arab Emirates and China all launched missions to Mars, taking advantage of the relatively short journey time offered by the two planets’ unusually close proximity. Why are planetary scientists so obsessed with Mars? Why spend so... Read more ›

Volvo has joined forces with Swedish steel manufacturer SSAB to explore the development of fossil fuel-free steel for its cars. This makes Volvo the first automaker to embark on the search of a green alternative for steel production, which is otherwise responsible for about 7% of global direct carbon emissions. Specifically, steelmaking has a big carbon footprint, generating last year over 3 billion tons of CO2. That’s because the furnaces... Read more ›

Whether you use Klarna all the time or have barely heard of it, it’s time to start paying attention: the buy-now-pay-later app has just become the biggest private fintech company in Europe.

I have a dilemma. I both love and hate Ikea’s latest audio gadget, its picture frame speakers. Over the past few years, Ikea has been working with Sonos to produce a range of Symfonisk speakers. The philosophy behind these have been bringing audio into everyday items. And, when I first heard about the just-announced picture frame speakers, I gushed with excitement. The idea of populating my house with them made... Read more ›

Let’s get one thing out of the way early: I’m not anti-sales. I’d just say I’m more pro-customer and product. And by focusing on these two areas, I’ve been able to scale my company to more than 20,000 customers in 90 countries without a sales team. Before jumping on the no-sales train, though, I think it’s essential you first understand why I’ve developed this philosophy. Putting customers on the same... Read more ›

Twitter might lose its safe harbor protection in India, as the company is yet to comply with the country’s new intermediary rules. This means it’ll be liable for all content posted on the site by users and can be subject to penal action. But it’s not straightforward. While there’s no official word, government sources told ANI that it’s the only major social network that hasn’t taken necessary steps to comply... Read more ›

Roguebook is a delightful little deckbuilding roguelike from developer Abrakim Entertainment SA, the makers of Faeria. While the genre’s become a bit saturated over the last few years, Roguebook has a lot going for it. For starters, legendary game developer Richard Garfield – the creator of Magic: The Gathering – was involved in the creation and development of the game. What really caught my eye, however, was the fact that... Read more ›

The NFT bandwagon attracts a curious mix of passengers, from celebrity robots to convicted animal abusers.

Every now and then, a recurring tweet shows up in my timeline. It will be someone complaining about being asked to speak for free at events and doing it ‘for the exposure.’ These complaints usually get a lot of support in the form of likes, retweets, and people replying “You should NEVER speak for free!” I don’t agree at all. That’s why I’d like to offer a different perspective on... Read more ›

The set of bills, introduced on June 11, targets the enormous economic power wielded by the likes of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google (owned by parent company Alphabet). The expansive proposals range from breaking up different businesses run by big tech, to more... Read more ›

Last year, 38,680 people died on the US roads, according to preliminary estimates of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Sadly, that’s the highest projected number since 2007. Although Americans drove less during the pandemic (13% less vehicle miles traveled), NHTSA found that crash fatalities in 2020 – including motor vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and pedalcyclists – increased by 7.2%, as compared to the 36,096 fatalities reported in 2019....

I have a confession to make: I’m a tab addict. My browser is so stuffed with the bastards that they’re practically microscopic. It puts my poor laptop under so much strain, sometimes I hear it scream. The folks at Google must have heard the cries, because they’re working on new ways to help manage the addition. Reddit user Leopeva64-2 spotted an option in the Canary build version of Chrome that... Read more ›
