How to Travel to the Most Remote Office on Earth

wired.com Mitch Moxley 2025-09-04 07:00:00

In November 2023, Jessica Studer, a 33-year-old research medical doctor and professional pianist from Bremgarten, Switzerland, prepared for her trip to Antarctica’s Concordia research station. Most work trips require a flight and a few nights in a hotel; hers would involve several days of travel and a year at the most remote outpost in the world. Very few people have experience preparing for such an extreme journey. Concordia sits at 10,600 feet above sea level, with winter temperatures plummet

Elon Musk Adds ‘Sell Cars in Europe’ to His To-Do List

Elon Musk has always worn a lot of hats. Earlier this year, while he was working at the White House, he literally wore several hats on his head at the same time, in a clownish attempt to make this very point to other Trump officials. Even though the billionaire has since parted ways with the administration and is in the midst of an acrimonious spat with the President, he is still keeping busy. Now, he’s reportedly given himself a new job just as he pledged to launch a new political party, thus k

Wooting 80HE Review: Pinnacle of Hall Effect Keyboards

wired.com Henri Robbins 2025-09-04 11:00:00

Wooting was one of the first analog keyboard brands to break into the mainstream. When the original Wooting One TKL launched, it was a big deal—optical switch technology was still new to most people, and the idea of a keyboard with hyper-fast, adjustable key actuations was both novel and revolutionary at the time. Later, when it debuted its Lekker Hall effect switch in the Wooting Two, it was one of the first companies to utilize the technology for gaming. Things ramped up in 2020 with the rele

The ‘Neuromancer’ Show Welcomes You Into Its Neon-Lit Dystopia

This is very much an early look—no actors, no plot teases, just a glimpse of a certain key location in William Gibson‘s cyberpunk tale Neuromancer. But “near-future dystopia by way of 1984” is captured correctly here, and that bodes very well for the Apple TV+ series that is, as the tin advertises, currently in production. And this isn’t just a random drop to increase hype for the show, which does not yet have a release date. Neuromancer was published July 1, 1984. Happy anniversary to Gibson a
