My Posture Is Wrecked From Work. This Device Is Helping Undo the Damage

I was leaving a blissful session with my massage therapist when she pointed out something unexpected: I was developing an ever-so-slight neck “hump.” Of course, nobody wants to hear that—it sounds unsightly—but it also raised some alarm bells. Recently, an orthopedic spine surgeon told me that he’s seen increasing cases of arthritis in young, healthy individuals, likely due to posture issues caused by constant screen use. Like most desk workers, I spend at least 30 hours a week glued to my lapt

Humane wrapped its bet against the iPhone in the cloak of AI and lost

The Ai Pin is officially dead. Parts of Humane have been sold to HP, and the Ai Pin will cease to function in a week. Cause of death? An outdated and undercooked bet against the iPhone made by former Apple engineers that Humane tried to disguise as artificial intelligence hardware. Bloomberg reports that HP has agreed to acquire assets from Humane for $116 million. Humane’s sole product, Ai Pin, won’t become an HP product. Instead, HP will put the parts of Humane that it is acquiring into its A

Hacked on Stripe–$41K Gone, No Real Help from Support. What Now?

I’ve always been nervous about using Stripe after reading horror stories here. Unfortunately, I took my chances due to the ease of integration, and now I’m here with my own nightmare. We’ve used Stripe for nearly 10 years as a marketplace, only allowing Standard Accounts—never had a major issue. Until yesterday. A hacker created six Express accounts, linked them to our platform, and drained our balance. Then, they started charging our users and funneling the stolen money to their Express accou

6 Things We Liked, and 4 We Didn’t, About Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

While the jury is still out on whether or not Marvel is “back” after the mixed reception of the not-so-brave and not-so-new Captain America film, things are continuing on the upswing in the animation department. Marvel Animation’s latest romp, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, has been must-watch weekly television on Disney+. This is saying a lot since it’s been vying for comic book fans’ attention by streaming against the likes of Prime Video’s Invincible season three. Amid the long-stand

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

Instagram adds a whole slew of new DM features in latest update

Instagram is rolling out an update for its messaging system that adds several new tools. These features could allow Instagram to better compete with direct-messaging rivals like Apple iMessage and various third-party platforms. First up, there’s music-sharing. The update lets users share tunes in both one-on-one messages and group chats. Just open up the sticker tray and tap on the “Music” option. This will open up a search bar of Instagram's audio library. There are a couple of caveats here. T

The Humane AI Pin debacle is a reminder that AI alone doesn’t make a compelling product

The demise of Humane is perhaps the most predictable tech story of 2025. The company tried to build some buzz around its AI Pin in late 2023, marketing the device as a tiny replacement for smartphones and playing up the fact that Humane’s co-founders were former Apple employees. The problem was that it wasn’t really clear what the AI Pin would do to justify its $700 asking price (plus a $24/month subscription). It didn’t take long for things to spiral out of control. The AI Pin was released in
