For Today's Business Traveler, It's All About Work-Life Integration

These days, business travel no longer means putting your life on hold. In my own work as a travel writer, forever shuttling between airports and hotel lobbies, I lean on small habits that make unfamiliar places feel less anonymous. Before work takes over, I’ll put on a Greek or Arabic podcast to keep the languages of my family close to me. They’re the ones I grew up hearing around the dinner table, and there’s a quiet fear they’ll slip away if I stop listening. Folding moments like these into my

Tesla deliveries fall for second quarter in a row

Tesla deliveries fall for second quarter in a row Musk has since left the role - but has publicly sparred with US President Donald Trump over a massive spending bill pushed by the White House. Tesla faces increasing competition from rivals, including China's BYD. Musk's controversial role as a government efficiency czar in the Trump administration has also been blamed for the plummeting numbers. The just over 384,000 vehicles it delivered between April and June represents the second quarterly

More than 15,000 users reported issues with the platform at around 9:53 a.m. ET, according to analytics firm Downdetector, which gathers data from users who spot glitches and report them to service. The issues appeare

Google Chat is trying out an Expressive new look

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s in the middle of Material 3 Expressive refreshes for many of its Android apps. After first seeing a new look for Chat within Gmail, we’re now spotting similar tweaks in development for the stand-alone Chat app. Right now we’re still noticing some small differences between the Chat app’s revised interface and what’s happening to Chat in Gmail. Google’s new Material 3 Expressive design language is currently being adapted across the company’s whole

Tesla deliveries drop 14 percent amid Musk backlash

Tesla says it delivered 384,122 electric vehicles in the April-June timeframe, which is a 14 percent drop compared with the same period in 2024. It's also the second quarter in a row that sales have fallen year-over-year (YoY). The company produced 410,244 vehicles in Q2, which is very close to the 410,831 it made during the equivalent period last year. However, the company delivered more vehicles (443,956) than it produced in Q2 2024. That's not the case this time. The number of vehicle delive

Crunchyroll's lazy AI subtitles have anime fans furious

At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles. Much of the translation was nonsensical, with missing punctuation in many sentences. At the time, some fans speculated th

IntyBASIC: A Basic Compiler for Intellivision

IntyBASIC: a BASIC compiler for Intellivision I was working in Space Raid for Intellivision when I wondered about possibilities to make easier the development of games for Intellivision. There is a full set of tools for emulation ( jzintv ) and programming in assembler (as1600) created by Joseph Zbiciak (intvnut). But in every program you need to start almost from zero and there are few libraries. The Intellivision console The Intellivision console The Intellivision being created in 1979

Azure API vulnerability and roles misconfiguration compromise corporate networks

TL;DR Token Security researchers have discovered several Azure built-in roles that are misconfigured to be over-privileged - they grant more permissions than intended by Azure. In addition, we discovered another vulnerability in the Azure API that allows attackers to leak VPN keys. Combined, these two issues create a new attack chain that lets a weak user gain access to both internal cloud assets and on-premises networks. In this report, we detail the research process that led to the discove

Best Exercise Bikes of 2025, Tested by a Fitness Expert for 5 Months

Why we like it: I’ve tested Aviron exercise equipment previously when I tested rowing machines so I had an idea of what to expect with its exercise bike. The Aviron Fit Bike is set up as a gamer experience. Although it’s known as a gaming bike, I found this bike to have the most variety. It has a large 22-inch rotating screen and you can livestream from your favorite apps like Hulu, Max or Netflix and track your fitness data through Apple Health or Strava. There are classes, games, live group w

Tesla Q2 2025 sales dropped more than 13% year-over-year

Tesla sold a total of 384,122 electric vehicles during the months of April, May, and June of this year. That's a double-digit decline compared to the same three months of last year—itself no peach of a quarter for a car company with a stratospheric valuation based on the supposition of eternal sales growth. The automaker faces a number of problems that are getting in the way of that perpetual growth. In some regions, CEO Elon Musk's right-wing politics have driven away customers in droves. Anot

Tesla reports 14% decline in vehicle deliveries, marking second straight year-over-year drop

Tesla Model Y electric vehicles are collected from the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg by a car transporter. Tesla reported over 384,000 vehicle deliveries in the second quarter, a 14% decline from a year ago, and the second straight quarterly drop. Shares rose 5%. The electric vehicle maker reported 443,956 deliveries and production of 410,831 vehicles during the same period last year. Here are the key numbers: Total deliveries Q2 2025: 384,122 vehicles Total production Q2 2025: 410,

Google Messages is hiding a useful text formatting feature from users

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR It turns out Google Messages supports text formatting, but currently, only the integrated Gemini chatbot can use it to format its own replies. The hidden feature uses Markdown syntax, as seen when the Gemini chatbot formats its own text with symbols like double asterisks for bolding. A full rollout may be challenging due to cross-platform compatibility needs, as text formatting isn’t a standard part of the RCS specification. Google Messages was a sim

Bezos-funded satellite tracking methane emissions loses power in space

MethaneSAT, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) methane-tracking satellite backed by the Bezos Earth Fund, is lost in space. Its ground team lost contact with the spacecraft on June 20 but tried to reestablish a connection until it learned in the morning of July 1 that MethaneSAT had lost power altogether. The team believes that the satellite is likely not recoverable. MethaneSAT collected data on methane emissions that have previously been untrackable in an effort to combat climate change. Met

Marshall Bluetooth Headphones Drop to Nearly Free Compared to AirPods Max or Even Your Tiny Earbuds

Headphones can make a good song great. They can make a mediocre album sound fantastic. And they can help make calls you have to take sound even better from there. If you’re still chugging along without having had a good pair, now is the perfect time to change that. So we’ve got a deal for you to facilitate that very thing. You can head to Amazon now to get the Marshall Major IV On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones for just $70, down from their usual price of $99. That’s $29 off and a discount of 30%. S

iOS 26 Finally Lets Us Get Rid of the Horrid 9-Minute Snooze

In 2007, Apple launched the iPhone, a monumental device that became synonymous with the advancement of mobile technology. At the time, the iPhone included the 9-minute snooze, a dreadful and outdated alarm feature. The latest iPhones are bezel-free, can shoot 4K videos in slow-motion and we can unlock them with our faces, just to name a few of the many advancements that have been made over the past 18 years. These iPhones are a far cry from the original model Apple launched in 2007, and yet the

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2 Is Overkill for Most People, but Still Delivers an Epic Gaming Experience

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (or Elite 2 for short) has arguably been the industry gold standard for a pro-level game controller for the past decade. Over the years dozens of competitors have cropped up, hoping to give Microsoft a run for its money. While the Elite 2 still isn't perfect, it still sets the bar high. What I like about the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 One of the best things the Elite 2 has going for it is the layout -- it's almost identical to the standa

Come for the Amenity Kits, Stay for the Flight

Last March, Air France hosted a private event at the upscale Ritz Paris hotel in Place Vendôme, in the luxurious heart of the city. The airline had built a full-scale mock-up of its new La Première first-class cabin and treated travel journalists like its most valued customers. The new cabin was classic and elegant, a showcase of the Air France aesthetic. Matteo Rainisio, founder of the Italian frequent-flier website The Flight Club, who was in attendance, called it akin to haute couture. Each

Business Travel Is Evolving Faster Than Ever. We’ll Help You Navigate It

It might feel like a distant memory, but in 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic radically transformed how people lived, and specifically how they worked. At the time, plenty of health experts, CEOs, and publications (including WIRED) predicted that Covid would grind business travel to a halt indefinitely. If our day-to-day tasks and meetings could happen using Zoom, Slack, and other online tools, the logic went, then why not apply that same digital-first philosophy to work trips? But near the end of tha

Airplane Wi-Fi Is Now … Good?

Expensive and erratic, in-flight Wi-Fi has been more of a punchline than a pipeline over the past decade. But 2025 has marked a sea change for the skies: the rollout of fast, and free, connectivity on most of the world’s major airlines. Satellite technology has enabled leaps in speed and bandwidth. SpaceX’s Starlink network of low Earth orbit satellites, for example, can deliver a connection capable of downloading more than 200 megabits per second—twice as fast as most basic home internet plans

Microsoft is laying off as many as 9,000 employees

Tesla reports 14 percent drop in second-quarter vehicle deliveries

Tesla sales hit a new low, with the company reporting a 14 percent drop in second-quarter vehicle deliveries compared to a year ago. The company said that it produced a total of 410,244 vehicles between April–June of this year, including 396,835 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, as well as 13,409 “other vehicles” like the Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. That represents a minor 0.1 percent drop compared to the second quarter of 2024, when the company produced 410,831 vehicles. Tesla also said tha

Tesla faces second straight year of falling sales after another bad quarter

Tesla delivered 384,122 vehicles in the second quarter of this year, wrapping up another weak quarter for the company as it struggles to bring the pace of sales back up to 2023 levels. That represents a 13.5% drop from the number of cars Tesla delivered in the second quarter of 2022, and it means Tesla runs a real chance of underperforming its total sales figure from 2024. If that happens, it would mean Tesla’s sales will have fallen two years in a row — despite the company once promoting the a

There’s a better Nothing Phone 3 variant, and you can’t buy it in the US

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has confirmed that the Indian version of the Nothing Phone 3 has a 5,500mAh battery. Other versions of the phone have a slightly smaller 5,150mAh battery. We’re guessing that this discrepancy is related to EU regulations regarding the transport of batteries. The Nothing Phone 3 finally launched yesterday, and it looks like a well-rounded Android phone with a polarizing design. However, it turns out that one regional variant has a bigger batter
