Diligent Robotics hires two notable Cruise alumni to its leadership team

Diligent Robotics is bulking up its leadership team as the company looks to scale its fleet of humanoid robots that work in hospitals and pharmacies.

I’ve Used T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet for 3 Years: Here’s What I Love and What I Hate

Albuquerque, New Mexico: home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet. Of the top 100 cities in the US, Albuquerque ranks 85th, according to data from Ookla. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, the same company that owns CNET.) Home internet was a two-horse race in Albuquerque for years: CenturyLink DSL and Xfinity cable. I spent decades on DSL, watching my internet speed tests march slowly up to a maximum of 20 megabits per se

Microsoft shares $500M in AI savings internally days after cutting 9,000 jobs

Microsoft’s chief commercial officer Judson Althoff said during a presentation this week that AI tools are boosting productivity across sales, customer service, and software engineering, Bloomberg reports. Althoff noted AI has been so useful that Microsoft was able to save more than $500 million last year in its call center alone. The internal remarks come a week after Microsoft laid off more than 9,000 workers, the company’s third round of layoffs this year that put the total number of affecte

T-Mobile ends DEI programs in attempt to win deal approvals from the FCC

T-Mobile has abandoned all of its programs for diversity, equity and inclusion. In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, the telecom said that it "is ending its DEI-related policies [...] not just in name, but in substance." T-Mobile conveniently waited to dismantle its DEI efforts until it was awaiting FCC approval for two major deals. The company needs regulatory backing to purchase extensive assets from United States Cellular in a deal valued at $4.4 billion. It's also looking t

Evolution Mail Users Easily Trackable

Evolution Mail’s “Load Remote Content” option, as a privacy protection feature doesn’t work. They know it doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked for years and there is no sign it will be fixed any time soon. I discovered the other day that if a HTML email contains a tag like: <link rel = "dns-prefetch" href = "https://trackingcode.attackersdomain.example.com" > Then when an email is opened in Evolution Mail, a DNS request for trackingcode.attackersdomain.example.com is performed.

Pope Leo Signed a Popplio ‘Pokémon’ Card in the Cutest Vatican Sanctioned Interaction

One Pokémon fan traveled across the land and searched far and wide to find Pope Leo XIV with a Popplio card in hand for a truly delightful interaction. The meeting took place at the Vatican, where recently elected Pope Leo XIV greeted visitors for blessings. The Pokémon aficionado (known as ReptileCake on Reddit) took a card of Popplio, the water starter from the 7th generation of the card game, to get signed as well as another card to be blessed by the pontiff as a memento. The interaction to

Nvidia Makes History

Nvidia designs and manufactures the advanced graphics processing

Neobank Revolut seeks $65B valuation, a year after its $45B deal

In Brief Europe’s fintech darling Revolut is looking to raise a new funding round that would give it a $65 billion valuation, the Financial Times reports. The UK-based company is reportedly in talks to raise around $1 billion by issuing new shares and selling existing ones. The US-based firm Greenoaks is said to be leading the round, though the deal has not been finalized, and terms could change. TechCrunch reported in April that the company saw a 72% increase in revenue last year, netting $1

COO exit creates unanswered questions about Apple Watch and Health future

Apple made an interesting omission in yesterday’s chief operating officer transition announcement. Design, which previously reported to COO Jeff Williams, will soon report to CEO Tim Cook, but the press release stopped short of explaining where Williams’ other product responsibility will go when he leaves. What happens to Apple Watch and Health after the COO transition? Operations veteran Sabih Khan will take over as COO later this month, but Jeff Williams will hang around the company throug

Configuring Split Horizon DNS with Pi-Hole and Tailscale

I've long had some form of VPN for my devices to use when I'm out and about. Although I used to run OpenVPN, I moved to Tailscale a little while back. Tailscale builds a mesh network using Wireguard protocol and so is able to connect and run quite a bit faster than OpenVPN. Side note: for those wondering, Tailscale is Canadian and can't see the content of connections (although if you're worried about this it's also possible to self-host using Headscale). Although the tailnet has been up for s

How ‘Star Wars’ Inspired a Late Change to James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

During post-production on Superman, writer-director James Gunn ran into a problem. “We found that people loved the movie but that they were confused about the world they were entering,” Gunn told io9 recently. And so, to fix that problem, late in the filmmaking process, he looked to another one of his favorite films for the fix. When Superman hits theaters this week, it opens with six sentences that set up not just the world of the DC Universe, but Superman’s origin and the film’s plot, all in

Your Fitbit Could Become Your Post-Surgery Best Friend

A Fitbit a day just might help keep your post-surgery woes at bay. Research today finds that wearable data can predict children’s risk of health problems following a removed appendix. Scientists in Chicago conducted the study, which equipped over a hundred children with Fitbits after their appendectomy. Using a specially designed algorithm, the Fitbits accurately detected whether children would develop postoperative complications, often days before they were formally diagnosed. The findings sug

AI mania pushes Nvidia to record $4 trillion valuation

On Wednesday, Nvidia became the first company in history to reach $4 trillion market valuation as shares rose more than 2 percent, reports CNBC.

The milestone marks the highest market cap ever recorded for a publicly traded company, surpassing Apple's previous record of $3.8 trillion set in December. Nvidia first crossed $2 trillion in F

As Waymo Debuts in Philadelphia, It May Want to Look Into the Time Furious Locals Tore Apart an Adorable Robot

The City of Brotherly Love is known for lots of things: cheesesteaks, the Liberty Bell, Paddy's Pub, and residents who don't take kindly to outsiders messing around in their business. Way back in 2015, Philadelphians' territorial nature briefly became national news when hitchBOT — a child-size hitchhiking robot that relied on the kindness of strangers and had already traversed several entire countries with their help — arrived in Philadelphia and quickly got decapitated by furious locals.
