"We completely freaked out when we realized the orcas were hitting the boat." Pods of killer whales are once again attacking boats along the coast of Spain, striking fear into the hearts of local sailors. As Live Science reports, the orcas have been singling out sailboats and tearing off their rudders, again drawing attention to the large sea mammals' changing behavior, with experts suggesting that orcas are teaching each other how to take down sailing vessels.

Another Pixel, another 911 failure: Pixel 10 users say emergency calls sound like screeches

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel 10 series users report that they cannot reliably make 911 calls. The 911 call connects but only delivers garbled, incomprehensible audio, described as “shrill electronic screeches.” Google’s Pixel series has had a long history of not connecting 911 calls.

The tech antitrust renaissance may already be over

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-10-13 16:01:19

Around six years ago, a new rallying cry rippled through Washington: “Break Up Big Tech.” It was a slogan emblazoned on campaign posters, uttered at congressional hearings, and beginning, it seemed, to echo through the halls of the nation’s antitrust enforcers. Momentum in the legislatures eventually petered out, but the enforcers at the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission remained more active than ever.
