Photograph: Luke Larsen If you use a Mac every day like I do, though, a lot of the smaller changes are what give it its distinctly fresh feeling. The icons are what you'll notice first, which is right where the controversy begins. The iconic (heh) Finder icon has, indeed, been tampered with—though they haven't been flipped like in the original concept. The colors are slightly different, though, and there's a nice, modern border around it to match the other icons. The corner radius on nearly ev

WIRED Roundup: How Charlie Kirk Changed Conservative Media

Zoë Schiffer: So where does that leave traditional right-wing media, like Fox News, for example? Is this a replacement of that or is it working in tandem? Jake Lahut: I think it's more in tandem. Fox's programming was dominated by Kirk's assassination last night. I think that for a lot of the mainstay Fox personalities, people like Charlie Kirk, and I guess in the Turning Point USA broader cinematic universe, these younger figures are really important, actually, for I think a lot of the more es

Tesla Engineer Quits, Roasts Elon Musk in Spectacular Fashion

After a tenure of eight years, a Tesla engineer has quit the company — and directed a seething missive toward his boss, Elon Musk. "I do need to address the elephant in the room: the main reason I'm leaving is that I think Elon has dealt huge damage to Tesla's mission (and to the health of democratic institutions in several countries)," Giorgio Balestrieri, a staff algorithms engineer who joined in 2017, wrote in a scathing LinkedIn post last week.

It was a muggy July day in Santa Cruz and life could not have been more mundane for Alessandro “Alo” Slebir. The 24-year-old was pounding wooden concrete forms into a missing section of sidewalk. Cars raced by on a suburban highway as a neighbor walked over, looked at Slebir and asked, “Should I move my car?” “Hey, no worries, you’re fine!

Liquid Glass is a neat party trick.

As the two butterflies grew, they smashed into each other, and one got the worst of it; its wing withered away.
