gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-07-27 14:15:39

With a movie on the way, Bluey continues to dominate as the most-streamed show in the United States… despite the fact that the show itself has been on hiatus since early 2024. According to the Nielsen streaming charts, Bluey managed to again maintain its title as the most-streamed show in America so far this year, with data between January and June 2025 showing that the show was viewed for just over 25 billion minutes. All the more impressive among that data is the fact that its rivals for eyeb

Tariff Troubles Ahead: Auto Experts Advice on Rising EV and Car Prices

It's not just iPhones and TVs that might cost more. President Donald Trump's tariff policies might be driving up the cost of electric vehicles and combustion cars, too. EVs, in fact, might be especially vulnerable to the new tariffs that target China (a major exporter of critical metals) and the steel industry. China already has a near monopoly on critical minerals and rare earth metals used to manufacture cars, and these tariffs have given China a reason to use that as leverage over the US. Th

Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development

To paraphrase Mean Girls, "stop trying to make hydrogen happen." For some years now, detractors of battery electric vehicles have held up hydrogen as a clean fuel panacea. That sometimes refers to hydrogen combustion engines, but more often, it's hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs. Both promise motoring with only water emitted from the vehicles' exhausts. It's just that hydrogen actually kinda sucks as a fuel, and automaker Stellantis announced today that it is ending the developmen
