20 Kitchen Tools and Gadgets Chefs Swear You'll Regret Buying

Walk through any home store or scroll a kitchen gadget section online and it's easy to feel tempted. You might see a spiralizer that promises to replace pasta, a countertop machine that claims to chop, dice and sauté, or a ton of other "miracle" products. These might sound like they'll make cooking easier. The reality is that many of them are used once or twice before being shoved to the back of a cabinet. A handful of dependable tools will carry you much farther than a drawer full of gimmicks

EchoStar stock skyrockets 70% on AT&T deal to buy wireless spectrum for $23 billion

EchoStar stock roared more than 70% higher on Tuesday after AT&T said it agreed to purchase certain wireless spectrum licenses from the telecom company for about $23 billion in an all-cash deal. The sale will add about 50 megahertz of mid-band and low-band spectrum to AT&T's network, with the licenses covering more than 400 markets across the U.S., AT&T said. The deal is expected to close in mid-2026, pending regulatory approval. EchoStar said in a regulatory filing that the transaction is par

People Are REALLY Mad at These AI Glasses That Record Everything Constantly

Are you looking forward to a future of casual but supercharged surveillance, in which inconspicuous wearable devices record everything private you do — ostensibly in service of making you "super intelligent?" Evidently, readers, you are not. Users on social media have responded with horror and outrage to a pair of smart glasses developed by a startup called Halo that its creators, a pair of Harvard dropouts, claim will feed you live AI-powered insights while logging and transcribing every conv

Nothing caught red-handed faking Phone 3 camera samples, doesn’t even try to deny

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Nothing Phone 3 retail demo has been spotted making misleading claims about photo samples. Android Authority has spoken to two of the photographers who shot the pics, who confirm they did not use the Phone 3 at all. Asked for comment, Nothing has not denied these claims, and instead says that it plans to update demo units. Phone manufacturers, it’s time to wise up! You are selling to a market full of some exceptionally clever, resourceful tech fans, an

Seven products Apple will discontinue following iPhone 17 event

Apple’s iPhone 17 event is officially just around the corner. As new hardware arrives, we can expect Apple to discontinue seven products that it currently sells. iPhone 17 is the event headliner. With the arrival of four new iPhones, we can expect Apple to stop selling three iPhones that are currently in its store. Earlier this year, Apple replaced the antiquated iPhone SE with the more modern iPhone 16e. We currently expect Apple’s entry-priced iPhone to see annual updates, so it’s not going

All the world’s polygons

How real is your world? How do you know? Maybe it’s the gentle sway of leaves in the wind. Or the sound of crickets chirping at dusk. Or the softness of the light in the summer. Take a step back, blink. Turn your head to the side. Are you sure? From the earliest 8-bit bush in The Legend of Zelda (1986) to the peatbog sublime of Death Stranding (2018), video games have long been on a quest for perfect simulation. The benefits are obvious: more convincing worlds equals more immersive gameplay; mor

Proposal to Ban Ghost Jobs

When Eric Thompson lost his job in October 2024 and started looking for a new one, he began a drawn-out battle with something many job seekers have come to know too well: the dreaded ghost job. He became so fed up with the practice that he's put together a working group to propose the Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act, or federal legislation that would make the practice illegal. The first time Thompson, 53, heard the term "ghost job," it was 2023 and his friend was discussing apply

Chinese astronauts make rocket fuel and oxygen in space

Astronauts on board China's Tiangong space station have created rocket fuel and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide, similar to how plant's photosynthesize. Chinese astronauts have just created rocket fuel and oxygen in space using a new type of "artificial photosynthesis." The breakthrough technology, which used fairly basic equipment and minimal energy, could one day be put to use on China's proposed moon base, which is scheduled to be completed within a decade. The new experiments were car

Connecting M.2 drives to various things (and not doing so)

You're using a tool with a too-generic User-Agent You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace, the wiki thing it's part of. Unfortunately whatever you're using to do so has a HTTP User-Agent header value that is too generic or otherwise excessively suspicious. Unfortunately, as of early 2025 there's a plague of high volume crawlers (apparently in part to gather data for LLM training) that behave like this. To reduce th

Michigan Supreme Court: Unrestricted phone searches violate Fourth Amendment

The Michigan Supreme Court has drawn a firm line around digital privacy, ruling that police cannot use overly broad warrants to comb through every corner of a person’s phone. In People v. Carson, the court found that warrants for digital devices must include specific limitations, allowing access only to information directly tied to the suspected crime. We obtained a copy of the opinion for you here (the opinion starts on page 5). Michael Carson became the focus of a theft investigation involv

Claude for Chrome

We've spent recent months connecting Claude to your calendar, documents, and many other pieces of software. The next logical step is letting Claude work directly in your browser. We view browser-using AI as inevitable: so much work happens in browsers that giving Claude the ability to see what you're looking at, click buttons, and fill forms will make it substantially more useful. But browser-using AI brings safety and security challenges that need stronger safeguards. Getting real-world feedb

A Pill to Fight Obesity Is on the Verge of Approval

The next big obesity medication coming down the pipeline will likely come in pill form. Eli Lilly has just released the latest positive Phase III trial results of its experimental oral GLP-1 drug, orforglipron. On Tuesday morning, Eli Lilly reported that orforglipron met the benchmarks of the company’s Phase III ATTAIN-2 study. People taking orforglipron experienced substantial improvements in weight loss and blood sugar control compared to those taking a placebo, the study showed. Armed with d

Watch Live as SpaceX Tries to Snap Starship’s Miserable Losing Streak

After back-to-back scrubs, SpaceX is aiming to launch its Starship rocket on Tuesday and hoping to finally break a streak of failed test flights. SpaceX’s Starship is set for liftoff during a launch window that opens at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 26. The rocket was originally scheduled to fly this past Sunday, but the launch was delayed twice, further building anticipation for Starship’s chance to redeem itself and achieve its mission objectives after three less-than-ideal flights this yea

A ‘Knight Rider’ Movie Is in the Works From the Creators of ‘Cobra Kai’

The Netflix hit Cobra Kai was the perfect balance of 1980s nostalgia and modern sensibilities. Now, the team behind that show has been tapped to do the same for another popular brand from the decade: Knight Rider. The Hollywood Reporter says that Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald are in early talks to make a movie based on the hit show, which starred David Hasselhoff as a detective who gets paired with an artificially intelligent car called KITT (which stood for Knight Industries

Google’s AI Weather Model Nailed Its First Major Storm Forecast

While generative AI tools that primarily amount to slop generators grab most of the attention in the artificial intelligence space, there are occasionally some actually useful applications of the technology, like Google DeepMind’s use of AI weather models to predict cyclones. The experimental tool, launched earlier this year, successfully managed to provide accurate modeling of Hurricane Erin as it started gaining steam in the Atlantic Ocean earlier this month. As Ars Technica first reported, H

With Starship, SpaceX encounters an obstacle that haunted NASA’s space shuttles

Eventually, SpaceX wants to catch ships coming back from space with big mechanical arms on the launch pad, similar to the way SpaceX has shown it can recover the rocket's huge Super Heavy booster. This would allow SpaceX to theoretically stack a freshly flown ship on top of a booster right on the launch pad, then quickly refuel it and launch it again. There are plenty of things SpaceX must prove before the company is able to do this. But SpaceX has already demonstrated it can handle some of the

An Astonishing Number of Men Are Dying Because They Refuse to Go to the Doctor

Image by Getty / Futurism Treatments Men appear to be dying disproportionately from preventable diseases and conditions way more than women, and in many cases it's their own damn fault: because they're refusing to go to the doctor until it's too late. In interviews with the New York Times, doctors and public health experts expressed concerns with the state of men's preventative care, which they say many chaps tend to ignore — to their own peril. Breaking this issue down between men and women

Marshall's first party speaker unsurprisingly looks like a guitar amp

Marshall just introduced its very first party speaker, the Bromley 750. It looks a whole lot like a guitar amp, which makes sense given the company's pedigree. Also, instrument amps are basically just big speakers anyways. This Bluetooth speaker includes a replaceable battery that allows for more than 40 hours of use before requiring a charge. It produces 360-degree stereophonic sound that Marshall says will "find its way through any crowd." It also features a "sound character knob" that change

Anthropic Settles High-Profile AI Copyright Lawsuit Brought by Book Authors

Anthropic has reached a preliminary settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by a group of prominent authors, marking a major turn in of the most significant ongoing AI copyright lawsuits in history.

The settlement agreement is expected to be finalized September 3, with more details to follow, according to a legal filing published on Tuesday. Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately

A Radiohead song from 1997 is on the Hot 100 charts, thanks to TikTok

Thanks to an unexpected surge in popularity on TikTok, Radiohead now has its fourth-ever song on the Billboard Hot 100: the morosely gorgeous track “Let Down” from the 1997 album “OK Computer.” “Let Down” never broke through to mainstream attention like Radiohead’s “Creep” or “Karma Police,” but it’s by no means a deep cut, like the Pavement B-side “Harness Your Hopes” that went viral due to a quirk in Spotify’s recommendation algorithm. This Radiohead song is a fan favorite from an album that’
