This charging iPad mount turns your car into a mobile movie theater – Kuxiu X97 [Hands-on]

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-07-20 15:10:15

Early last year, Kuxiu released its X33 Pro Max iPad stand. It was the first stand to incorporate pin connectors into a magnetic stand to be able to charge your iPad. It was a fantastic idea. As a stand, it’s built very well, is high quality, does everything you need a stand to do, and gets the job done, but the fact that it also instantly charges the iPad was a game-changer for my setups. But now, they’ve brought the same tech but into your car with a mountable, magnetically charging iPad stand

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-07-20 16:00:29

If a 60-mile-wide (100-kilometer-wide) asteroid slammed into Earth tomorrow, it would render the planet inhospitable to nearly all life forms, save for the hardiest extremophiles. This mass extinction event would wipe humanity off the face of the Earth—there would be no survivors. To some experts, this is the true definition of an “existential threat.” Traditionalists will say this term describes a risk that endangers the very existence of something—in this case, the human species.

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

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-07-21 12:40:47

Semaglutide’s ability to help people lose weight is legendary, but so are the side effects. The active ingredient in medications Wegovy and Ozempic, semaglutide is renowned for causing severe nausea in some people, sometimes to the extent that they stop treatment. But new research published in the journal Diabetes Care suggests there may be a simple way to combat that effect.

Xi Jinping warns against China's overinvestment in EVs and AI

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-22 04:40:55

Chinese President Xi Jinping has bluntly questioned a nationwide rush of investment into the AI and EV industries. As deflation anxiety grows and Trump’s trade war with China ramps up, the world’s second largest economy is turning to fast-growth tech industries to remain competitive. But Xi appears to think that the strategy is flawed. As reported by the Financial Times , China's President sent out a pointed message about over-investment at the two-day Central Urban Work Conference in Beijing.

5 reasons why I still prefer Perplexity over every other AI chatbot

Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg via Getty Images I've been working with artificial intelligence (AI) since the 1970s, when Lisp was state-of-the-art. Lately, like everyone else, I've been looking at AI a lot more closely. While it's nifty and getting genuinely useful, it can still blunder, like the time Google's AI Overviews recommended users to eat "at least one small rock per day." AI can also lose its mind, such as when Grok went totally MechnaHitler. Even when I tell J. Random Chatbot to summari

Dozens of ‘Ghost Galaxies’ Are Orbiting the Milky Way, Astronomers Suspect

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-07-30 20:35:25

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) theory suggests that most galaxies are low-mass dwarf galaxies, many of which orbit larger galaxies like the Milky Way. More broadly, the LCDM represents our best understanding of how the universe works. But there’s a problem. According to the theory, the Milky Way should have significantly more satellite galaxies than scientists have observed with telescopes and predicted with computer simulations.
