techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-10-26 01:53:54

California lawmakers struck a deal with Uber and Lyft that will allow app-based drivers to form unions. The agreement is a win for gig workers who have long been classified as independent contractors, and thus, ineligible for certain protections that employees receive, like the right to collective bargaining. Gov. Gavin Newsom, alongside Senate President Pro Tem Mike McGuire and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, announced Friday support for two pieces of legislation that form a pathway for app-ba

I took this MagSafe battery pack on vacation, but now it's an everyday carry

This Is Hands-Down the Best Way to Store Kitchen Knives (no, It's Not a Block)

No kitchen tool demands proper storage more than knives. Options include canvas knife wraps, wooden blocks and in-drawer organizers, but the mighty magnetic knife strip ranks as my absolute favorite. It's the first purchase I make for any new kitchen, and I push everyone I know to install one immediately.

Mastodon says it doesn’t ‘have the means’ to comply with age verification laws

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-10-26 13:50:11

Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so. The social non-profit explains that Mastodon doesn’t track its users, which makes it difficult to enforce such legislation. Nor does it want to use IP address-based blocks, as those would unfairly impact people who were traveling, it says. The statement follows a lively back-and-forth convers

Qualcomm’s next Elite processor could have a ridiculously confusing name

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a major departure from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 2 names. We’re guessing this is because Qualcomm is readying an apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as well. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite late last year, and this represented a change in naming convention after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. We were expecting the Snap
