Netflix's content briefly showed up in the Apple TV app

Breaking: Someone made an oopsie. On Thursday, word spread online that some of Netflix's content began appearing in the Apple TV app. The lack of an official announcement (and extremely buggy nature) of the integration was enough to cast doubt on the news. But that didn't stop users from rejoicing and sharing "FINALLY!" GIFs on social media. Unfortunately, your triumphant festivities weren't warranted, as the company has said it was unintentional. A Netflix spokesperson told The Verge on Friday

Malaysia is betting on data centers to boost its economy

JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia (AP) — Winson Lau has always had contingency plans. But he wasn’t prepared for data centers. Lau relies on water and electricity to operate his thriving export business in Malaysia’s Johor province, where he raises a kaleidoscope of tropical fish in rows of aquariums, including albino fish with red spots that can fetch up to $10,000 from collectors. His contingency plans in the event of an outage involve an intricate system of purifying wastewater through friendly bacteria

NASA Captures Devastating Tennessee Floods From Space After Winter Storm Drenches Region

A large winter storm system that moved across the East Coast over the weekend caused serious floods in Tennessee and Kentucky, as seen in newly released NASA satellite images. The images show the Mississippi River’s serpentine path in western Tennessee and eastern Arkansas and Missouri.

A state of emergency was declared in Tennessee after a

Elon’s DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion. The Real Figure Was $8 Million.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to be fighting the scourge of government “waste” and fraud and, this week, DOGE claimed that it had already saved taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. However, in an ironic twist, it would appear that the claims being made by Musk and DOGE about their own activities appear to be, themselves, fraudulent. Despite recently claiming that it had already saved Americans $55 billion, the information on DOGE’s website only accounts for $16 billio

Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s futuristic pickup truck

Here’s everything you need to know about Tesla’s first pickup truck, which Elon Musk has called “heart-stopping” and his “personal favorite” of Tesla’s vehicles. Pickups have become more popular lately — their share of the US light vehicle market increased to 17.5 percent in 2019, from just under 13 percent in 2012. They’re also the fastest-growing auto segment in the US. That makes Tesla’s entry into pickups sensible, analysts say. Another pickup perk: pricing. Pickups tend to be expensive. E

Uber ditches commissions in favor of daily fees for rickshaw drivers in India

Uber is moving away from its commission-based model for three-wheeled motorized rickshaw drivers in India in response to increased competition from local rivals Rapido and Namma Yatri.

Cybertruck Guy Makes Mocha Frappuccino While Cruising on Self-Driving Mode

Cybertruck fan Jeremy Judkins, who has seemingly made owning the divisive vehicle his entire personality, made a "mocha frappuccino" while the car's "Full Self-Driving" driver assistance feature was steering it through the streets. The video shows Judkins giddy with excitement as he uses a red Vitamix blender to make the concoction. The Cybertruck's steering yoke can be seen completing turns on its own as he licks the blender's tamper. "All you have to do is keep your eyes on the road," he wro
