I ditched Google Calendar for paper, and it gave me the mental clarity I needed

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I started using a paper calendar as sort of a joke. It was part of my experiment to live as if I were back in 1993. I ditched all modern tech and bought a weekly planner from the dollar store. My busy adult life still needed some kind of planning system. I didn’t expect to stick with it after my experiment was up, but you know what? I did. The experiment ended but the paper calendar stuck around. It found a home on my desk, where I’ve been using it every day

Trump Jr.’s ‘Amazon for Guns’ Business Is Firing Blanks

What is the opposite of the Midas touch? Whatever that is, Donald Trump Jr. seems to have it. On Wednesday, an online firearms seller backed by the President’s favorite failson went public. It didn’t take long for the public to say, “No thanks.” On Wednesday, the company’s stock price took a significant hit by the end of the trading day. GrabAGun is a pretty simple concept. It’s an online marketplace that specifically handles guns, ammunition, and firearm accessories. Trump Jr.’s business partn

Apple submits bid for rights to MLB Sunday Night Baseball

According to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, Apple is among the companies that have submitted a bid for the rights to the iconic Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, starting in 2026. In an interview with CNBC, Manfred said that Apple, NBC, and ESPN have all submitted bids for the Sunday Night Baseball package. In June, a report suggested that Apple was among the companies in the running to land streaming rights for this package. This week’s comments from Manfred mark the first tim

It’s World Emoji Day – which are your favourites?

I’m sufficiently old and grumpy to have resisted the use of emoji for a long time, wondering what was wrong with, you know, words – but I did find myself assimilated in the end. The tiny colorful substitutes for vocabulary now make up a growing percentage of our communication, especially since Apple allowed any emoji to be used for tapback reactions .. In fact, we apparently send five billion of the little critters every day. World Emoji Day is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that Jul

Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist

Back in 1999, Wall Street lost its collective mind over the internet. Companies with no revenue were suddenly worth billions, “eyeballs” were treated as currency, and market analysts predicted a frictionless future where everything would be digital. Then the bubble burst. Between March 2000 and October 2002, an estimated five trillion dollars in market value vanished into thin air. Today, it is happening again. This time, the magic word is not “.com.” It is “AI.” According to Torsten Slok, the

In defense of air-conditioning

We should all be aware of the growing electricity toll of air-conditioning, but the AC hate is misplaced. Yes, AC is energy intensive, but so is heating our homes, something that’s rarely decried in the same way that cooling is. Both are tools for comfort and, more important, for safety. So why is air-conditioning cast as such a villain? In the last days of June and the first few days of July, temperatures hit record highs across Europe. Over 2,300 deaths during that period were attributed to t
