gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-11-17 15:04:13

Despite Online MAGA Freakout About Her Jeans, Sydney Sweeney’s New Movie Bombs

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-17 20:30:42

A couple of weeks ago, American Eagle launched a new ad campaign for its blue jeans line that featured actress Sydney Sweeney. In one of the ads, Sweeney weirdly broached the topic of genetics (she said, and I quote: “genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue”), but, for the most part, the ads seem to be about how great Sweeney’s posterior looks when she’s wearing the company’s denim. Not long aft

X’s declining Android app installs are hurting subscription revenue

Elon Musk’s X is struggling on Android devices in terms of new installs, even while App Store downloads grow, according to new data from app intelligence provider Appfigures. In July 2025, X downloads on Google Play saw a significant decline, as new installs dropped by 44% year-over-year worldwide, even as iOS downloads grew by 15%. This steep drop in installs is pulling down X’s overall average, leading to a 26% decrease in total mobile downloads year-over-year as of July. That’s still slightl

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

news.ycombinator.com Hannah Ritchie 2025-11-18 09:53:20

It’s always the battery in my mobile phone that gives up on me first. After just a few years, it can barely make it through the day without getting another charge. Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”. And I think it’s even more prominent in the second-hand market: “Oh, I’d never bu
