Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden Review: Rewarding but Risky

wired.com Lisa Wood Shapiro 2026-02-23 11:07:00

It was about a week into my journey as a hydroponic lettuce farmer when I noticed my Mila air purifier, set to auto mode, was running at full blast. Its internal air quality sensor told me the air was dirty. Not sure if the sensor was overly sensitive, I swapped it out for the more powerful and far quieter IQ Air Atem X (9/10 WIRED Recommends) and set it on auto mode. Next time I went into my son’s room, the Atem was running at its highest speed. I checked the room’s IQAir Visual Pro Indoor Air

‘We are the media now’: why Tesla’s robotaxis were dominated by Elon Musk superfans

theverge.com Mack Degeurin 2026-02-23 09:30:00

Over the years, Tesla has built part of its reputation on hosting big, bold events to generate authentic hype for upcoming releases. The robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, last week wasn’t one of them. Coverage of the rollout was dominated by a close-knit cohort of Tesla influencers and Elon Musk superfans, many of whom are openly supportive of the CEO’s vision. Journalists and tech bloggers who might have been more critical of the technology were not only excluded but also actively ridiculed an

Trump says he’s found a buyer for TikTok

In Brief A group of “very wealthy people” is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump. “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. “I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.” Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time).

I can’t believe how far Switch emulation has come in the year since Nintendo killed it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-23 12:30:37

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority It’s been a few weeks since the Nintendo Switch 2 hit shelves, but if we’re being perfectly honest, there’s not much reason to buy one yet. I’ve been revisiting my OG Switch to stave off the FOMO, but I was sad to learn that my left Joy-Con now drifts so badly that Link runs in circles like he’s drunk in Breath of the Wild. Instead of shelling out $40 for another Joy-Con with a ticking drift timer, I reached for something I hadn’t touched in a while: Switch e

Throttling is a very accepted concept in computer science. But this is the most misused and misunderstood lever of computer science. When new engineers join Roblox, their first solutions often include, “If we could just tell our creators to tweak this config or slow down their events…”. Veteran Roblox engineers then gently explain our value of respecting the community and that we don’t tell our creators what to do.
