Ars reflects on Apollo 13 turning 30

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Oscar-winning film, Apollo 13, director Ron Howard's masterful love letter to NASA's Apollo program in general and the eponymous space mission in particular. So we're taking the opportunity to revisit this riveting homage to American science, ingenuity, and daring. (Spoilers below.) Apollo 13 is a fictional retelling of the aborted 1970 lunar mission that became a "successful failure" for NASA because all three astronauts made it back to Earth a

Tesla shows off its first fully autonomous delivery to convince us its self-driving cars work well

Uber has Atlanta’s autonomous ride-hailing and delivery market on lock

John Oliver Aghast at How AI Slop Is Devouring the Web

It's safe to say that comedian and "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver isn't a fan of AI slop — and he's got a compelling argument for why you shouldn't be, either. As the comedian laid out in the latest episode of his popular HBO show, AI-generated content is suddenly everywhere online. It's going viral on social media, crowding Google Search results and discovery platforms like Pinterest, and has made churning out spam, misinformation, and otherwise empty, low-quality digital stuff easier an

YouTube is introducing a new age restriction next month

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube will raise the minimum age to livestream from 13 to 16 starting July 22. 13–15-year-olds can still appear in streams, but only with an adult visibly present.

The platform now looks to tightening th

Amazon Sells the 2025 MacBook Air Without a Profit Margin, Now Much Cheaper Than on Apple’s Official Site

This year, the brand-new MacBook Air 2025 with the powerful M4 chip and 256GB storage has hit an all-time low price. By combining an instant discount with a $49 coupon, the price dro

I built an app to backup Live Photos from iPhone to external hard drives

I noticed so many iPhone users are dealing with the same storage nightmare. Here's a common scenario that sounds familiar to a lot of people: The widespread problem: iPhone storage fills up crazy fast, not everyone has a Mac, many don't want to pay monthly for iCloud storage, and home NAS setups aren't realistic for most users. The manual approach of creating folders and selecting photos one by one is tedious, and keeping up with new photos becomes overwhelming So I built an app called BackiGo

I skipped every Death Stranding cutscene and I’ll do it again

I beat the original Death Stranding, but please don’t ask me what happened in it. There was a cataclysm — not quite a Gommage — that made the US more divided than ever, and you play as a babysitter-meets-delivery-guy who has special awareness of invisible, hostile creatures called BTs that are “beached,” which isn’t as relaxing as it sounds. There are grenades filled with pee, poop, and blood, and everyone who’s anyone was motion-captured to be in the game. There are whales, Guillermo del Toro (
