BMW, I am so breaking up with you

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-10-22 16:07:36

I want to be clear from the outset. I’ve never been a car enthusiast. My driving history includes a hand-me-down Volvo with a hole in the floorboards and a series of aggressively practical vehicles, including a VW Golf and a Mazda SUV in which I hauled my family around for 12 years. Then I leased a BMW i4 electric car. What drew me to the i4? Unlike other electric vehicles, BMWs don’t look like something out of the Jetsons; I like that they’re understated cars that happen to be electric. I like

The buyer-pull and seller-push theories of sales

PSA: There’s now a companion podcast! We go into way more detail on YouTube / Spotify! I have now watched hundreds of founders’ sales calls. And in every single founder’s call, I find the same foundational error playing out in a thousand different ways. It causes the founder (and the potential customer) a world of pain. If you feel uncomfortable selling, or if your sales calls don’t feel smooth, this is probably why. We all seem to have the most basic misconception about sales, a backwards ide

Space investing goes mainstream as VCs ditch the rocket science requirements

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-10-23 07:47:13

Five years ago, investor Katelin Holloway made what she calls a “literal moon shot” investment. A founding partner of the generalist venture firm Seven Seven Six admits she and her team had “no clue” what rocket company Stoke Space was talking about when they pitched the firm on its reusable launch technology. “We knew full well we were not the specialist,” she says. Since then, Holloway has also invested in Interlune, a company planning to harvest helium-3 from the moon and sell it back to Ear

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR As previously rumored, the OnePlus 15 is expected to launch with a new in-house imaging engine. This move suggests Hasselblad branding may no longer appear on OnePlus flagships. The change would bring the OnePlus 15 camera process more in line with rivals like Samsung and Google. After months of rumors, it looks like OnePlus’s big camera gamble is all but confirmed. A reliable tipster has revealed that the upcoming OnePlus 15 will ship with a new in-ho

A Unique, High-Tech (Family) Computer

There’s a concept that many people have tried, with varying effects: the “educational computer”, a device that a parent can buy for their children to learn the basics of the computer, which everyone will need to know in the future, and can also play games, so the children will actually want to use it. These have ranged from plasticky VTech toys with little more than an electronic organizer, to the Wonder Computer of the 1980’s, the Commodore VIC-20, which was a full computer. This is a prime mar

Urban Arrow FamilyNext Pro Review: The Perfect Family Bike

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-10-24 15:00:00

How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5. Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him.

Hell Is Us is a cryptic and ambitious meditation on the horrors of war

theverge.com Lewis Gordon 2025-10-24 21:00:00

The opening hours of Hell Is Us are brilliantly confusing. The game tasks you with getting up to speed on a complicated civil war between the Palomists and Sabinians. A deluge of proper nouns is unleashed: Lymbic weaponry, Guardian Detectors, and more. But the clearest way the game communicates that you should feel utterly dumbfounded is through the cryptic stone panels scattered amid its ravaged, Eastern Europe-coded setting; you’re unable to actually read the text engraved in these tablets.

Is AI the end of software engineering or the next step in its evolution?

theverge.com Sheon Han 2025-10-25 00:00:00

The first time I used ChatGPT to code, back in early 2023, I was reminded of “The Monkey’s Paw,” a classic horror story about an accursed talisman that grants wishes, but always by the most malevolent path — the desired outcome arrives after exacting a brutal cost elsewhere first. With the same humorless literalness, ChatGPT would implement the change I’d asked for, while also scrambling dozens of unrelated lines. The output was typically over-engineered, often barnacled with irrelevant fragment

Executives had acquired the writer-director Robert Eggers’s stark, unsettling début, “The Witch,” at the Sundance Film Festival and wanted to make it their first release to open on thousands of screens. But both Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy, who starred as a teen-ager tempted by unholy forces, were then unknown.

Ride1Up TrailRush Electric Mountain Bike Review: Quality Components, Bargain Price

Buying a direct-to-consumer bike can be almost as big a gamble as investing in cryptocurrency.
