techcrunch.com Tage Kene-Okafor 2026-03-12 18:27:51

One such company is OneText, which is building what it calls a “text-to-buy network,” that lets shoppers complete purchases via text message. The company, founded by former PayPal employees, just closed a $4.5 million seed round backed by Khosla Ventures, Coatue, Citi Ventures, Y Combinator, Good Friends (the fund cr

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-12 22:45:13

Somehow, Naughty Dog has found yet another way to get me to play The Last of Us Part II again. The developer just released a rather unexpected update to the remastered version of the game for PS5 and PC: you can now play the game in chronological order. Part II was infamous for the its big perspective shift from Ellie to Abby, but now players can go through their adventures side-by-side as they progress. Naturally, Naughty Dog notes that the non-linear structure is crucial to the way it envisio

On The Meaning of Ritual

The Book of Rites, also known as the Classic of Ritual. The Way of the former kings consists in exalting ren. One must cleave to what is central in carrying it out. What do I mean by "what is central"? I say: it is ritual and yi (8.99). The Confucian moral order is grounded in ren (仁), yi (義), and ritual (禮, li).

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-03-12 22:27:06

Not everyone is an audiophile, and that’s okay. But once you’ve seen (or heard, I guess) the light of getting a little bit more than usual, it’s hard to go back. So what exactly is “a little bit more” when it comes to wireless earbuds? It’s not always easy to identify, but you’ll know it when you hear it, and the OnePlus Buds 4, while not looking like it on the surface, are definitely delivering that something extra.

Online dating apps have become a leading way to meet romantic partners, turning dating from an in-person experience into an often tedious, touchscreen-focused exercise. And with the advent of generative AI, that bleak landscape of modern dating is continuing to evolve in dystopian — and perhaps predictable — ways.
