‘We are the media now’: why Tesla’s robotaxis were dominated by Elon Musk superfans

theverge.com Mack Degeurin 2025-08-23 12:30:00

Over the years, Tesla has built part of its reputation on hosting big, bold events to generate authentic hype for upcoming releases. The robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, last week wasn’t one of them. Coverage of the rollout was dominated by a close-knit cohort of Tesla influencers and Elon Musk superfans, many of whom are openly supportive of the CEO’s vision. Journalists and tech bloggers who might have been more critical of the technology were not only excluded but also actively ridiculed an

Microloan Apps May Be Poised to Destroy the Economy

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-23 09:15:32

We love microlending, don't we, folks? Unlike old-school credit cards, with their days-long approval processes and prior credit minimums, buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) apps — companies like Klarna and Afterpay — offer hard-up customers instant financing options to buy the junk they crave the instant they see it. In the United States, purchases made with these apps currently don't even affect your FICO credit score — or at least, they never used to. That's all about to change this fall, when Fair I

Why it matters: For decades, JPEG, PNG, and GIF have remained among the most popular image formats, even as newer options like WebP and AVIF have emerged. Now, PNG is getting its first meaningful update in over 20 years with the release of its third edition, making the format more versatile than ever. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which manages web standards and guidelines, recently published new specifications for the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format. The updated format now

Meta’s Xbox-Branded Quest 3S Just Sold Out for All the Wrong Reasons

Starting later this year, your BNPL plans could start appearing on your credit report. You can use BNPL for just about everything now, from Costco purchases to DoorDash (although that doesn't mean you should). But the one thing BNPL couldn't do was improve your credit.

The US Embassy in Seoul resumed accepting applications for student and exchange visas but requested that applicants make any private social media accounts public, prompting some South Korean students pursuing studies in the US to seek the help of "digital undertakers." On June 20, the US Embassy in Seoul announced that it will resume taking in applications for its F, M and J nonimmigrant visas, saying it will conduct “thorough vetting” of applicants’ presence on social media.
