‘Star Trek’ Journalists, Ranked

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-06 16:16:46

The potential for what journalism looks like in Star Trek is a heady idea that’s been around as long as the series itself. What does reporting the news look like in utopia? What does it mean that the Federation has its own news networks, alongside a host of interstellar media organizations? What does freedom of information mean in a universe that has Starfleet? And yet, we’ve actually had very few characters appear in the series as fully dedicated journalists and reporters. That changed a littl

Despite Dismal Sales, Tesla Thinks You’ll Pay More for a Cybertruck

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-07 02:10:37

Tesla’s Cybertruck is widely viewed as an “unmitigated” commercial disaster, but that hasn’t stopped the company from deploying a variety of sales gimmicks to try to squeeze just a little more money out of the flop vehicle. This week, Tesla launched a new version of its most expensive Cybertruck variants, known as the “Cyberbeast.” Tesla has marketed the “beast” as its most heavy-duty, high-powered variant, and originally promoted it with a video of the truck towing a Porsche while also racing

Google Did Not Unilaterally Decide to Kill XSLT

It’s uncommon, but not unheard of, for a GitHub issue to spark an uproar. That happened over the past month or so as the WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group, which I still say should have called themselves a Task Force instead) issue “Should we remove XSLT from the web platform?” was opened, debated, and eventually locked once the comment thread started spiraling into personal attacks.
