Honda and Acura EV owners gain access to Tesla Supercharger network

This currently includes just two vehicle models but lays the groundwork for future growth. Honda and Acura EV owners can now take advantage of the sprawling Tesla Supercharger network with the release of the first Honda-approved NACS -CCS DC fast-charging adapter. This means that Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX owners can join the growing ranks of non-Tesla EVs that you might see filling up at any one of the more than 23,500 selected Tesla Superchargers. "Combined with other growing charging netw

Google Drive’s new tool makes it a breeze to skip right to the good part of your video uploads

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Drive will now show thumbnail previews when hovering over the video progress bar. The feature will be available to all users on the web version of Drive, but it only works on newly uploaded videos. It’s rolling out to Rapid Release domains starting today, with a wider rollout starting on August 20. Scrubbing through a video in Google Drive often meant dragging the progress bar blindly and hoping for the best. That’s finally changing, with Goog

Supermassive Games is delaying Directive 8020 and laying off staff

Supermassive Games, the developer behind story-driven games like Until Dawn, The Quarry and The Dark Pictures Anthology, is cutting its workforce due to the ongoing "challenging" state of the games industry. The studio says it’s having to adapt its team structure and as a consequence expects to lose up to 36 employees. The current size of the Supermassive’s staff is unclear, but in February last year it cut somewhere in the region of 90 jobs, at which time Bloomberg estimated the studio had mor

CSS's problems are Tailwind's problems

Tailwind is the Worst of All Worlds 21 July 2025 React, CSS, Tailwind, HTML Tailwind is the worst of all worlds. It is a regrettable step backwards that takes everything bad about CSS and modern web development and brings it all together in one library. CSS's Successes and Failures Of all the web technologies that underlie the modern web, the one that has received the fewest fundamental changes is CSS. We've gotten amazing things like flexbox, grid, container queries, and more which have

I Tasted Dozens and Found the Cheapest and Best Meal Kits and Services

Most prepared meals either arrive frozen or can be frozen after unboxing. That means it's less of an issue if you order too many meals on your first go around. Most services allow you to change the number of meals or servings in your plan even after you've started. With almost every service, the more meals or servings you order per delivery, the cheaper it becomes per meal. You'll want to decide exactly how much food makes sense for your household. If you can't imagine yourself cooking more tha

We Might Have Been Wrong About Where Spiders Came From

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives. A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, instead suggesting that these arachnids and their relatives originated and evolved in the ocean. The team

Tesla skepticism continues to grow, robotaxi demo fails to impress Austin

Tesla’s eroding popularity with Americans shows little sign of abating. Each month, the Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report surveys thousands of consumers to gauge attitudes on EV adoption, autonomous driving, and the automakers that are developing those technologies. Toyota, which only recently started selling enough EVs to be included in the survey, currently has the highest net-positive score and the highest “view intensity score”—the percentage of consumers who have a very positive view of

A Hellraiser game is in development

Calling all gamers with a love of horror films: Hellraiser is getting a video game adaptation. Saber Interactive is turning the cult franchise into a game called Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. Clive Baker's 1986 novella, The Hellbound Heart, served as the basis for the Hellraiser films. He also wrote and directed the first instalment, which premiered in 1987. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is a single-player game that has you play as Aidan while fighting your way through an "action sur

14 Best USB Flash Drives (2025): Pen Drives, Thumb Drives, Memory Sticks

There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re shopping for USB flash drives, and we also have some tips for using them. Capacity: To decide on the capacity of the storage device you need, first check the size of the folders or files you want to copy. Each USB drive in our guide has a stated capacity, but the usable storage will be slightly less than that, because the device’s firmware requires space. Speed: USB standards are advancing all the time, and we recommend USB 3.0 as a minimum, t

Hellraiser is being turned into a survival horror game

The developers at Boss Team Games have such sights to show you: the studio just announced that it’s taking the terrifying world of the classic Hellraiser films and turning it into a survival horror game. The new title is called Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, and somehow it’s the first gaming adaptation of the franchise, which has been around since 1987. According to the studio, the game will blend “survival horror with a single-player, story-driven action experience.” And, yes, there will

Amazon backs programmable optics startup Lumotive

Programmable optics startup Lumotive has added a few more strategic backers to its recent Series B round. Redmond, Washington-based Lumotive reopened its recent Series B funding round to bring in Amazon, through its Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, and ITHCA Group, the technology investment arm of Oman’s sovereign wealth fund, as investors. These fresh funds bring the company’s Series B round to $59 million, up from the $45 million Lumotive initially closed in February. The startup has raise

Google wants Search Live to feel like a phone call (APK teardown)

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has revealed some UI tweaks potentially coming to Google’s Search Live feature. The Search Live notification could get interface changes to make your session feel more like a phone call. This change comes as Google brings visual tweaks to its other Android apps. Google announced a new Search Live feature at its I/O event earlier this year. This lets you have a natural conversation with Google Search, akin to Gemini Live. Now

This $20 Item Is the Thing I Buy First for My Kitchen When I Move

As a former girl scout I believe in always leaving a place better than I found it. As a food writer and former culinary school student, this entails always leaving behind a certain feature in any kitchen where I've lived. (As a former NYC resident, yes, there were numerous kitchens.) It's the first thing I buy for a new kitchen, without even needing to take measurements. Where I put it might be up for grabs, but it's guaranteed to be going somewhere. I'd sooner live without a microwave or a (*g

Newly Discovered ‘Infinity Galaxy’ Could Prove How Ancient Supermassive Black Holes Formed

A team of astronomers have discovered a curious figure in the universe. It is two distant galaxies colliding with each other to form a larger structure. From Earth’s perspective, the junction of the disks resembles the number eight lying down, similar to the infinity symbol (∞). Because of this resemblance, the researchers—who are based at the universities of Yale and Copenhagen—have nicknamed it the “Infinity Galaxy” and have detailed their discovery in a paper published in the Astrophysical J

California DMV Seeking 30-Day Tesla Sale Suspension for Unrealistic 'Autopilot,' 'Full Self-Driving' Claims

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has brought suit against electric car manufacturer Tesla, alleging false advertising and misleading customers with its "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" features. The DMV is angling for a 30-day suspension of the automaker's license to sell EVs in California for at least 30 days while the courts hash out whether fines or retribution should come next. Tesla is, of course, looking to fight the allegations. What does this mean for you? If the CA DMV's

The special hell of Bolt, Europe's Uber clone

I was in Latvia a few weeks ago. Riga’s one of the Europeans cities without a good transit link from the airport into city. Snooping around online, I found that the recommended way to get a ride was the use of an app called Bolt, a European clone of Uber. I realize now that I didn’t actually check that Uber wasn’t available in Latvia, but I’m not against experimenting with a new app here and there. I used it twice to get to and from the city center, and it worked perfectly. Neither of my driver

Hidden Sensors Reveal Filthy Truth About Handwashing in Hospital Bathrooms

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing. Nearly half of toilet users skipped the sink after flushing, they found. The researchers say more effective stra

Alarming Video Shows Experimental Fighting Robot Thrashing Uncontrollably

"I'm so sorry." Breaking Away A video making the rounds on social media shows a humanoid robot flailing its arms and legs, seemingly trying to break free of a harness. The clip shows the robot causing the crane it's hanging from to collapse to the ground as a nearby human watches in shock, putting his hands on his head as he surveys the damage. "Oh my god, what the f*ck was that?" a female voice, presumably belonging to robot combat company REK CTO Amanda Watson, can be heard saying in the b

You’ll Be Able to Shoot People as the MCU Fantastic Four in *Two* Games This Week

Everyone loves a movie collab these days, and with Marvel being big in not just its own video game shooter and pretty tight with one of the other biggest shooters on the planet, it’s not too surprising that we’re going to be seeing a battle of the collabs this Friday as both Marvel Rivals and Fortnite prepare to welcome the MCU Fantastic Four. Rivals, of course, has had the First Family around for a little longer, having introduced Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben over the course of its first season

Jqfmt like gofmt, but for jq

Description I'm frequently passed long shell one-liners that require some visual inspection before running. These days, there's about as much jq in that one-liner as there is bash. I wrote jqfmt to help add line breaks in sensible locations while reading (or writing!) jq. At time of initial development, I naturally turned to https://github.com/itchyny/gojq expecting to be able to generate and walk a syntax tree—but gojq didn't seem to provide an AST that could be "walked," and it doesn't expor

Google is testing a cooler, darker design for Gemini Live’s overlay (APK teardown)

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a visual refresh for Gemini Live’s compact overlay in the latest app beta. The redesigned UI includes rounded corners, smaller icons, and a dark background. The corner widget has also been updated to be circular with a more vibrant waveform. Google isn’t done refining the Gemini Live experience. Following last month’s reveal of a more compact overlay interface, we’ve now uncovered some potential visual updates to that same UI. In our

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect. Cosmic inflation depends on certain theoretical assumptions that can get rather arbitrary—not ideal fo

The Demise of China’s Hottest Online Shopping Craze

During the height of the pandemic, a unique kind of online shopping became one of the hottest trends in China’s tech industry. Called “community group buying,” it allowed consumers to save money on everything from apples to iPhones by placing bulk orders together with their friends and family. The model, which was kind of like Groupon meets Instacart, proved especially popular for groceries. But now, China's community group-buying platforms are vanishing one by one. Late last month, Meituan, th
