Microsoft and Uber alum raises $3M for YC-backed Munify, a neobank for the Egyptian diaspora

techcrunch.com Tage Kene-Okafor 2025-10-26 08:04:10

Khalid Ashmawy remembers the first time he wired money home while studying in Europe. He had just received his monthly stipend as a master’s student in Stuttgart and wanted to send part of it back to his family in Cairo. It was usually a slow and expensive process, he recalled. A $400 wire transfer, for instance, could cost $40 in fees and take three business days to arrive. Years later, while working at Microsoft and Uber in the U.S., and even after founding a startup, that experience hadn’t

GoPro Needs to Get Its Act Together if These Leaks for DJI’s Tiny Action Camera Are Real

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-26 12:33:17

DJI is taking yet another cue from Insta360. The China-based company recently pulled the curtain on its first 360 camera, the Antigravity A1, but there are more unique cameras to rip off. DJI may also have a “Nano” action camera with a detachable pod, something very close in shape and capabilities to the recent Insta360 Go Ultra. Even if DJI is stuck copying its competitor, at least it’s bringing something new to the world of action cameras, unlike a certain company that rhymes with “Slow no.”

In a private group chat in June, dozens of Democratic political influencers discussed whether to take advantage of an enticing opportunity. They were being offered $8,000 per month to take part in a secretive program aimed at bolstering Democratic messaging on the internet.

The New Tesla Model Y Performance Upgrades My Favorite Electric SUV to Supercar Speeds

It's hard to overstate how much I already liked the new Tesla Model Y. I drove it earlier this year, and it struck me as Tesla's most complete car yet. It's sharper to look at, smoother to drive, and smarter inside without trying too hard to be clever. In fact, I'd go as far as saying its the best electric car I've ever driven.

How to See the Total Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon on September 7

wired.com Sara Carmignani 2025-10-27 03:00:00

On the evening of September 7, the second (and final) total lunar eclipse of the year will take place—serving up the striking sight of a red “blood moon” in the sky across much of the world. Total lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is positioned between the full moon and the sun, with the moon falling into the shadow of our planet. However, rather than disappearing into darkness, the shadowed moon instead turns red. This is because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. Visible sunlight,

Genetically, Central American mammoths were weird
