Fringe Movement Claims the Entirety of Modern Physics Is Wrong

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-20 11:00:48

It's one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the wonders of the internet has brought an entire economy built on outrage and conspiracy theories, enabling even the most crackpot grifters and fringe scientists to reach a wide audience and easily make a quick buck. We've all heard them rage against vaccines and seed oils, but one of their buzziest clai

The PC was never a true 'IBMer'

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 10:13:39

The IBM Personal Computer was launched on 12 August 1981. Designed by an IBM team in Boca Raton, Florida led by Philip Don Estridge and William C. Lowe. That first PC, given the less than charismatic designation as the ‘Model 5150’, and its successors quickly set the standard for personal computing, first in business and then in homes. So much so that they became known as just ‘PCs’. But the PC was never an true ‘IBMer’, the colloquial term used for IBM employees. Wait a moment! The IBM PC. D

Chatbox app is back on the US app store

Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO.

This Solar-Powered Dashcam Watches Your Car While You’re Off ‘Finding Yourself’ in Europe

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-21 12:47:14

I remember when I had a car. I was living in Queens, and avoiding tickets was an absolute nightmare—that is, until I was informed of a neighborhood cheat code. There was a street sort of near where I lived where I could just leave my car—no alternate side parking, predetermined hours, nothing. Naturally, I went straight there and parked my car and tried my best to forget that I had one until I needed it. I thought about that car every single day. Was it still there?

Bulletproof Host Stark Industries Evades EU Sanctions

In May 2025, the European Union levied financial sanctions on the owners of Stark Industries Solutions Ltd., a bulletproof hosting provider that materialized two weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine and quickly became a top source of Kremlin-linked cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. But new findings show those sanctions have done little to stop Stark from simply rebranding and transferring their assets to other corporate entities controlled by its original hosting providers.

How Do You Sell People on VPNs? Just Say 'VPN' Over and Over and Over Again, Apparently

A tech company's text-heavy mural in London's trendy Shoreditch area, known for its street art, used the word "VPN" 24 times without actually explaining what a virtual private network is or does. Which was kinda the point. The eye-catching artwork was the creation of VPN provider Surfshark and graffiti art company KingMurals, which collaborated on a PR stunt.

Microsoft dodges EU fine by unbundling Teams from Office

Microsoft has avoided an EU fine after the US tech group offered concessions on how it packages together its Teams and Office products, ending a long-running antitrust investigation by the bloc’s regulators.

Tesla's Market Share Has Fallen So Badly That It's Back to 2017 Levels

Ten years ago, it was rare to see a Tesla on the road. The Model S, despite being the world's best-selling EV at the time, sold just over 50,000 units worldwide, making it rarer to see on the road than the exceedingly rare Porsche Macan. In the following years, Tesla rocketed to the top of the sales charts, cementing its Model Y as the best-selling vehicle of 2023.
