Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

wired.com Joe Ray 2025-12-30 04:30:00

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

Tesla wants to bring robotaxis to San Francisco. Here’s what’s standing in the way.

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-12-30 09:41:43

Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to send invites to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report. Depending on how and if Tesla proceeds, its actions could violate state regulations — and even if there’s a human safety driver sitting behind the wheel while its vehicles operate autonomously.

Tesla Readies a Taxi Service in San Francisco—but Not With Robotaxis

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-12-30 18:26:14

Tesla has publicly staked its future on its robotaxis. Now the company is planning to launch a public car service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla is calling it a “robotaxi” service, but legally, this one will have to use cars with human drivers. The plan appears to put the electric carmaker in murky legal waters in a US state with the country's most tightly regulated autonomous vehicle industry—and where Tesla is already being sued for misleading language around its driver assistance tech.

Brave and AdGuard now block Microsoft Recall by default

The Brave web browser and the ad-blocker AdGuard have both announced that they are blocking Microsoft Recall by default . For the uninitiated, Recall is an AI-powered tool that accompanies Windows 11 and it records everything on a PC's screen . It's pretty obvious why a privacy-minded web browser like Brave and an ad-blocker would make this move. AdGuard said the decision was made due to a "privacy concern," going on to say that "the very idea of background screen captures is unsettling." A blo

While documents stored on microfiche or microfilm are easy to copy, they aren’t easy to access.

Sam Altman warns there’s no legal confidentiality when using ChatGPT as a therapist

ChatGPT users may want to think twice before turning to their AI app for therapy or other kinds of emotional support. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the AI industry hasn’t yet figured out how to protect user privacy when it comes to these more sensitive conversations, because there’s no doctor-patient confidentiality when your doc is an AI.

Going chain-free with the Priority Gemini gravel bike

In combining a belt drive with a gravel bike, Priority Bicycles has put a smart idea into action with the Priority Gemini. The execution is mostly there, although the Gemini is perhaps best described as a fantastic commuter bike with a solid gravel upside—as long as the road isn't too rough. The Priority Gemini comes in both aluminum and titanium frames. I tested the $3,499 aluminum model; the titanium version retails for $5,499. The aluminum version weighs in at 24 lb (10.9 kg), about a half-p

Earth’s Unusual Rapid Spin Could Prompt First-Ever ‘Negative Leap Second’

The Earth has been spinning unusually fast recently.

One year later, on July 10, 2025, Earth completed a daily rotation that scientists estimate was 1.36 milliseconds faster than usual, giving us another particularly short day.
