This Solar-Powered Dashcam Watches Your Car While You’re Off ‘Finding Yourself’ in Europe

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-02 23:47:14

I remember when I had a car. I was living in Queens, and avoiding tickets was an absolute nightmare—that is, until I was informed of a neighborhood cheat code. There was a street sort of near where I lived where I could just leave my car—no alternate side parking, predetermined hours, nothing. Naturally, I went straight there and parked my car and tried my best to forget that I had one until I needed it. I thought about that car every single day. Was it still there? Had it been smashed to pieces

Opendoor co-founder and newly minted board chair Keith Rabois said remote work and a "bloated" workforce have been a drag on the company's culture, as he vowed to slash headcount.

iPhone Diary: For the first time in many years, I’m not upgrading my iPhone

I don't like curved displays

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-29 14:24:24

I don't like curved displays The vast majority of media uses rectilinear lenses, where straight lines in 3D remain straight in a 2D image: Each light ray lands on a flat rectangle that lies between the viewpoint and the light source, so viewing the image on a flat screen looks exactly the same as how it originally appeared. A curved screen won't do that — straight lines are no longer straight!

New FAA program will let eVTOL startups test some operations before full certification

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-10-03 07:33:06

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a new pilot program that will let electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) startups test some operations before they receive full regulatory certification. It’s a potentially big change for these companies, as they’ve spent the last few years performing limited test flights of their aircraft while working toward FAA approval.
