9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-19 19:04:19

A climber stranded at nearly 11,000 feet in the Colorado wilderness was rescued this week thanks to Apple’s Emergency SOS satellite messaging feature. Here’s what happened. Glissading gone wrong As reported by KDVR (via Reddit), a 53-year-old man had just summited Snowmass Mountain on Sunday, before beginning his descent using a glissading technique (which is essentially sliding down the snow-covered slope).

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-19 19:46:24

In another sign that the Trump White House is aggressively moving to slash NASA’s science programs, dozens of mission leaders have been asked to prepare "closeout" plans by the end of next week. The new directive came from NASA's senior leadership on Monday, which is acting on behalf of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Copies of these memos, which appear to vary a little by department, were reviewed by Ars. The detailed closeout plans called for must be prepared by as soon as Ju

RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA ‘Very, Very Quickly’

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-03-20 00:10:13

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality. Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess. These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcas

Nothing just announced its long-awaited "first true flagship," the Nothing Phone 3, and killed off one of its most popular and unique phone features in the process. The flashing lights that crisscrossed the back of its previous phones, known as the Glyph Interface, is gone. In its place is something new -- a round black and white screen on the rear of the phone, adjacent to the cameras, which Nothing is calling the Glyph Matrix.

After months of debate, a plan in Congress to block states from regulating artificial intelligence was pulled from the big federal budget bill this week. The proposed 10-year moratorium would have prevented states from enforcing rules and laws on AI if the state accepted federal funding for broadband access. The issue exposed divides among technology experts and politicians, with some Senate Republicans joining Democrats in opposing the move. The Senate eventually voted 99-1 to remove the propo
