Amazon’s reputation for spreading health misinformation has led critics to call it “a dystopian bookstore.” Their concerns have escalated since COVID-19 unleashed a wave of anti-vaccination zealots.

The researchers found that Amazon’s search algorithm promotes books endorsing false claims about vaccines over those that debunk them. They also discovered a filter-bubble... Read more â€ș

Instead of lifting off from the ground, the rocket carrying these Nasa satellites was slung under the wing of a modified Boeing 747, called Cosmic Girl. The... Read more â€ș

Spotify searches don’t sync across devices — and it’s ridiculous

Last night, I couldn’t sleep. After sending an hour tossing and turning, I decided to get up, and listen to music on the sofa to tire myself out.

Surface Pro X long-term review: Excellent, if it’s not your only PC

I put off writing my Surface Pro X review for a while. I’ve been using a Surface Book since the original, and I’ve always considered myself a power user, so the idea of adopting an ARM-powered PC that couldn’t run all of the apps I might need seemed unconscionable. So I’d play with the Pro X — the marginally updated SQ2 version — every once in a while, but my... Read more â€ș

UK risks leaving its EV drivers out of juice, unless it installs chargers 5 times faster

The UK is passing milestones and installing new EV chargers every week. But according to a UK think tank, it’s not doing so anywhere near fast enough.
