Concerned about growing momentum behind efforts to regulate the commercial use of personal data, Big Tech has begun seeding watered-down “privacy” legislation in states with the goal of preempting greater protections, experts say.

The best money I ever spent on coffee was buying myself the original Flair Espresso Maker. The Flair has a cult following among espresso aficionados for making it easy to make espresso at coffee-shop quality in a compact, affordable design that requires no electricity. The roughly 6-9 bars of pressure necessary for a proper espresso are created with your own arm strength, rather than any fancy machinery. But while the... Read more ›

Let’s get this out of the way: an ebike can never fully replace a car. At least, not in the sense of carrying four passengers and a trunk full of groceries while being shielded from the rain. There will be times where having a car is more convenient. But sometimes bikes are the more convenient vehicle too. As a city-dweller who used to occasionally drive, not having to park and...

This could be a breakthrough for artificial neural networks. You know: robot brains. Let there be mice: Scientists can do miraculous things with mice such as grow a human ear on one’s back or control one via computer mouse. But this is the first time... Read more ›

Amazon is often accused of treating employees like expendable robots. And like machines, sometimes they break down. A 2019 survey of 145 warehouse workers found that 65% of them experienced physical pain while doing their jobs. Almost half (42%) said the pain persists even when they’re not working. That’s a real shame — for Amazon. Those pesky injuries can slow down the company’s relentless pace of work. But the e-commerce... Read more ›

Mmm, I love a bit of news that seems tailor made just for me. So here it is: the Kindle lock screen can now display book covers. If you’re lucky. Some of you will read that and shrug and wonder why you even bothered clicking on this dumb article. Others?

If you’re anything like me, you spend a lot of time thinking about what cars you would convert to electric power. I’ve wondered about electrifying all manner of cars, but one car I have NEVER wondered about electrifying is an old VW T3 Transporter flatbed truck. It seems not everyone thinks like me. Last year, a bunch of Germans put a Tesla drivetrain in one very green VW T3. You... Read more ›

Lawmakers in Washington state passed a bill last night that has effectively given a death sentence to gasoline-powered vehicles. In short The bill requires all passenger and light-duty vehicles sold or registered in 2030 or later to be powered by electricity. That’s five years earlier than California, which has been seen as a progressive trendsetter in the US. But not anymore! It seems Washington is set to take that crown.... Read more ›

Google’s data collection practices have landed the search giant in hot water down under. Australia’s federal court found that the company had misled Android users about the location data collected through their mobile devices. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) launched the legal action against Google back in 2019. It argued that if a consumer disabled the “Location History” setting on their device, but left “Web & App Activity”... Read more ›

I love my home office chair — deeply. It feels like sitting in a hug. Before 2020, I would only see it a few hours a day. The rest of the time, I’d work in co-working spaces and coffee shops, which I walk to. It kept me active. The pandemic changed that — my chair became part of my body. I coded there, I had meetings there, I ate my... Read more ›

Instagram has apologized for a “mistake” that led its algorithm to promote harmful diet content to people with eating disorders. The social network had been automatically recommending terms including “appetite suppressant,” which campaigners feared could lead vulnerable people to relapse.
