Starship will soon fly over towns and cities, but will dodge the biggest ones

Some time soon, perhaps next year, SpaceX will attempt to fly one of its enormous Starship rockets from low-Earth orbit back to its launch pad in South Texas. A successful return and catch at the launch tower would demonstrate a key capability underpinning Elon Musk's hopes for a fully reusable rocket. In order for this to happen, SpaceX must overcome the tyranny of geography. Unlike launches over the open ocean from Cape Canaveral, Florida, rockets departing from South Texas must follow a narr

If you own a Volvo EX90, you’re getting a free computer upgrade

If you own a 2025 Volvo EX90, here's some good news: you're getting a car computer upgrade. Even better news? It's free. The Swedish automaker says that owners of model year 2025 EX90s—like the one we tested earlier this summer—are eligible for an upgrade to the electric vehicle's core computer. Specifically, the cars will get a new dual Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin setup, which Volvo says will improve performance and reduce battery drainage, as well as enabling some features that have been TBD so far

The Next ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Arc Is Getting the Big Movie Treatment

In what’s sure to put a bow on an already banner year for anime, both streaming and in theaters, Gkids officially announced it’s giving Jujutsu Kaisen‘s forthcoming Culling Game Arc a sneak peek episodic release in theaters ahead of its third season this December. In the same vein as Gkids’ other anime theatrical events for shows like Dan Da Dan and Witch Watch, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution will combine “the best of the Shibuya Incident arc”—the big climactic battle from its second season—as well

I Tested AirPods Live Translation With My Family. Here's What I Learned

I couldn't ask for better timing. My Spanish-speaking mother-in-law was coming to visit the day Apple released live language translation features on AirPods. It works on the new AirPods Pro 3, which hits stores Friday, along with last year's AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 -- and the user also needs to have it paired to an iPhone running the latest iOS 26 software with Apple Intelligence. My mother-in-law is bilingual and speaks English perfectly, but Spanish is her preferred language. She'll ofte

8 Best Alexa Speakers and Amazon Echo Devices We’ve Tested (2025)

Other Alexa (or Alexa Compatible) Speakers Amazon Echo Pop for $40: The Echo Pop is a perfectly fine little speaker, and the cutest one in Amazon's lineup. Does it have great sound? No. It's fine enough for background tunes or if you're limited to a dorm room, but you'll get much better sound for a similar size from the Echo Dot (but you'll pay a little more, and you won't get as cute of colors!) Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) for $90: This smart display is another just-fine option, but it's too

OpenAI's $4 GPT Go plan may expand to more regions

OpenAI released $4 GPT Go in August, but it was limited to just India. Now, OpenAI is expanding GPT Go to include new regions. OpenAI could bring GPT Go to regions like Indonesia in the coming weeks. If you live in Indonesia or India, you'll see a nudge to try GPT Go when you're using a free account. Source: BleepingComputer OpenAI might bring GPT Go to the United States in future because the product price pages already includes references to USD. GPT Go includes pricing in EUR (€4), USD ($

Context switching, once a bottleneck, disappears. Marketing now takes longer than development. Four years of product development in four days, for $200. That's a pretty hefty claim.

What’s Driving the Turnover at Musk’s AI Startup?

Elon Musk’s xAI has lost a large number of top executives in recent months—so many that onlookers have begun to wonder what’s causing the high turnover rate. Now, new reporting from the Wall Street Journal suggests some of those executives may have left due to internal conflict over the management style at the company and disagreements over its financial projections. The list of executives who have recently departed Musk’s firm includes Mike Liberatore, the company’s former chief financial offi

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet One of my favourite features added to web browsers in the last few years is text fragments. Text fragments allow you to link directly to specific text on a web page, and some browsers will highlight the linked text – for example, by scrolling to it, or adding a coloured highlight. This is useful if I’m linking to a long page that doesn’t have linkable headings – I want it to be easy for readers to find the part of the page I was looking for. Here’s

Uber is trying drone delivery again

In Brief Uber will test using drones for Uber Eats deliveries in some U.S. markets by the end of this year, part of a new partnership with Israeli startup Flytrex. The partnership will also include a small investment in Flytrex, though Uber told Bloomberg News the investment amount was not material. The deal comes at a time when Uber has been re-engaging with some technologies that it used to develop in-house. Uber has been partnering with autonomous vehicle companies like Waymo to offer self-

Finally, a cheap multitool that doesn't sacrifice function for form

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. I admit it: I'm addicted to multitools.

The quality of AI-assisted software depends on unit of work management

The craft of AI-assisted software creation is substantially about correctly managing units of work. When I was new to this emerging craft of AI-assisted coding, I was getting lousy results, despite the models being rather intelligent. Turns out the major bottleneck is not intelligence, but rather providing the correct context. Andrej Karpathy, while referencing my earlier article on this topic, described the work of AI-assisted engineering as “putting AI on a tight leash”. What does a tight le

Uber will (once again) test delivering food by drone this year

Uber Eats is testing out drone deliveries yet again, this time in partnership with Flytrex. To note, Flytrex is one of the drone operators behind Walmart's drone deliveries and already delivers food in some parts of the US. It's one of the four providers that received authorization by the FAA for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, in which pilots can't see the aircraft they're controlling directly. The partnership, the companies said, will enable Uber Eats customers to receive order

Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

Cybersecurity company Netskope is eying a $7.3 billion valuation after pricing shares at $19 for its upcoming IPO, at the top end of its expected range.
