After kickstarting the market for making calls over the internet 23 years ago, Skype is closing down. Microsoft, which acquired the messaging and calling app 14 years ago, said it will be retiring it from active duty on May 5 to double down on Teams. Skype users have 10 weeks to decide what they want to do with their account. It’s not clear how many people are impacted. The most recent numbers that Microsoft had shared were in 2023, when it said it had more than 36 million users — a long way fr

Highly anticipated: AMD has finally launched announced the Radeon RX 9000 series, headlined by the RX 9070 XT and its $599 MSRP. There are some interesting features and architectural details to explore, but we're a bit uncertain about the price based on what AMD has shown so far. On the surface, it looks more like a continuation of AMD's graphics card strategy rather than a significant shift toward providing better value. The Radeon RX 9070 XT will be available on March 6th at a $599 asking pri

Elon Musk has long been the linchpin of Tesla's appeal, commanding unbelievable hype that has elevated the automaker to a stellar valuation while making it a household name.

When Apple teased a new device a couple weeks ago, we thought perhaps a new generation of AirTags were on the way. But only the iPhone 16e was unveiled. New tags are still very likely on the way, but chances are they'll be pricier than this. We've watched the four-pack of AirTags drop from its MSRP of $99 to $76, $70 and now the lowest yet of $65. That's 35 percent off and a new record low. Working out the math, you'll pay just $17 per tag, which is a bit better than paying $29 each at full pri

by Alison Gopnik (UC Berkeley) For some time, I’ve argued that a common conception of AI is misguided. This is the idea that AI systems like large language and vision models are individual intelligent agents, analogous to human agents. Instead, I’ve argued that these models are “cultural technologies” like writing, print, pictures, libraries, internet search engines, and Wikipedia. Cultural technologies allow humans to access the information that other humans have created in an effective and wi

The Delta Children Icon doesn't look like much, but I found myself quickly impressed with everything it offered for such a good price. The seat has nice padding and feel to it, and it has a belly bar that you can easily grab when folded. The frame is compact, but still tall enough for my taller kiddo.
