I'm Rebelling Against the Algorithm

I'm rebelling against the algorithm 14 Jul, 2025 I grew up on the internet. I'm old enough to remember when my news feeds actually ended. Remember the times before infinite scroll was engineered? I remember when algorithms weren't good enough to keep me in a trance-like state for eternity. Fast forward to today, I experience firsthand the horrible effects of the algorithms. We weren't meant to read the thoughts of 100s of people all at once. It's also not possible to fully check out from soci

EPA says it will eliminate its scientific reseach arm

The Environmental Protection Agency said on Friday that it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, after denying for months that it intended to do so. The move underscores how the Trump administration is forging ahead with efforts to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies after the Supreme Court allowed these plans to proceed while legal challenges unfold. Government scientists have b

Valve confirms credit card companies pressured it to delist certain adult games

It's Mastercard's world; we just live in it. That's my understanding based on a recent communiqué from Valve to PC Gamer, which confirmed that, yup, the company sure did recently remove a whole spate of adult games from its storefront because it made payment processors upset. "We were recently notified that certain games on Steam may violate the rules and standards set forth by our payment processors and their related card networks and banks," said Valve. "As a result, we are retiring those gam

A Brief Guide to All the Taika Waititi Projects We’re Still Waiting For

It’s just part of Hollywood that projects will be announced with a lot of fanfare and then fade away, with suspects both usual (scheduling conflicts, creative differences, budget concerns) and unusual (global pandemics, industry-wide strikes) to blame. But certain creators seem to attach their names to movies or TV shows that never materialize with greater frequency—including Taika Waititi. His diverse career includes writing, directing, producing, and acting (Our Flag Means Death forever), and

As White House talks about impounding NASA funding, Congress takes the threat seriously

This has been a good week for the US space agency in terms of the federal budget. On Tuesday, a committee in the US House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion budget bill for the coming fiscal year. Then, two days later a Senate committee passed a $24.9 billion budget for NASA. Both of these measures would keep funding more or less at the level of the current fiscal year and, for the most part, keep the space agency's programs going on their current trajectories. These bills are not final

Netflix is already using generative AI in its original shows

Netflix admitted during its earnings call on Thursday that it used generative AI to create VFX in The Eternaut, a Netflix original from Argentina that was released in April 2025. The company's co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that generative AI was specifically used for a VFX shot in the post-apocalyptic drama, but the move is one of several ways Netflix is embracing AI.

My favorite lens and screen-cleaning kit keeps my tech spotless, and it only costs $8

The Koala cleaning kit with a pair of glasses. Kayla Solino/ZDNET I've been wearing prescription glasses since I was 18 months old, so trust me when I tell you I know a lot about keeping lenses clean and protected -- I've had over 20 years of practice.

Influencers Have Arrived on ‘Foundation,’ and Somehow You Can’t Hate Them

Foundation is generally a pretty serious show. Season three in particular is charting humanity’s march toward certain doom—unless those with the power to reshape the future can figure out an alternative path before it’s too late. But levity creeps into the Apple TV+ Isaac Asimov adaptation when you least expect it, with season three continuing the humorous legacy of a character we said good-bye to back in season two. That dearly departed character is Hober Mallow, of course—the heroic scoundrel

It’s Official: Apple Needs to Drop a New Version of AirPods ASAP

Remember AirPods? You probably do, because they’re literally everywhere, all the time, but if you don’t, it’s because Apple has seemingly neglected its hyper-popular wireless earbuds for a while now—or it’s at least failed to give us a model that actually counts as an upgrade. While AirPods 4 were released in 2024, the only notable upgrades back then were USB-C charging (hardly groundbreaking) and a new H2 chip that most people will probably overlook. That means the last real upgrade was actuall

We Finally Know How Much Martin Shkreli’s Wu-Tang Album Cost

The saga of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that Martin “pharma bro” Shkreli bought for approximately $2 million in 2015, continues. The album’s contents have always been a highly guarded secret, and it was seized by the U.S. government in 2018 after Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud. For years, it was reported that the government had sold the album directly to PleaserDAO, a crypto collective that specializes in NFTs. However, Bloomberg now reports that

A huge fight looms over the NASA budget this fall

This has been a good week for the US space agency in terms of the federal budget. On Tuesday, a committee in the US House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion budget bill for the coming fiscal year. Then, two days later a Senate committee passed a $24.9 billion budget for NASA.

The Israeli "art student" mystery (2002)

Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis

Cancer’s genetic fingerprints may lurk in people’s blood long before they find out about the disease. It’s possible to spot tumor DNA more than three years before a person is diagnosed with cancer, researchers report May 22 in Cancer Discovery. “We were shocked that we could find DNA,” says Yuxuan Wang, an oncologist and cancer researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The findings suggest that hunting for these telltale traces using highly sensitive and accurate technology co

This Simple Strategy Could Curb One of Semaglutide’s Worst Side Effects

Meta says it wont sign Europe AI agreement, calling it growth stunting overreach

Meta Platforms declined to sign the European Union's artificial intelligence code of practice because it is an overreach that will "stunt" companies, according to global affairs chief Joel Kaplan. "Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI," Kaplan wrote in a post Friday on LinkedIn. "This code introduces a number of legal uncertainties for model developers, as well as measures which go far beyond the scope of the AI Act."
