I’ve finally found it: This is the charger that has ended all my USB-C frustrations

UGREEN Nexode 500W 6-Port GaN Desktop Fast Charger It's expensive and gigantic, but the UGREEN Nexode 500W desktop charger has all the right specs to charge everything in your gadget library with plenty of power for more. This is the way USB-C fast-charging should be. I’ve tested countless USB-C chargers this year, and while there are plenty of great options, some still have a compromise or two. With a tangled mess of protocols and power levels, finding a charger that powers everything optimall

Ingram Micro outage caused by SafePay ransomware attack

Cops in [Spain] think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

Update, July 3, 2025 (11:45 AM ET): The crew behind GrapheneOS is understandably none too pleased about their good name being dragged through the mud, and members are speaking out about these reports from Spain. Over on X, the official GrapheneOS account posts: European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they’re something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose o

Is It Time to Stop Protecting the Grizzly Bear?

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In the early 1900s, long before smartphones and selfie sticks, tourists flocked to Yellowstone National Park—not for the geysers or scenery, but for a grotesque show: a nightly spectacle of grizzly bears raiding cafeteria scraps from open-pit landfills like desperate, starving pirates. The bears were in dangerous proximity to humans: Hungry bears tore at open car windows. Tourists posed a little too close with

Everything You Can Do in the Photoshop Mobile App

You know your software is a success when its name becomes a verb: You'll now commonly hear about images being photoshopped, even if the editing wasn't done with the Adobe image editor. Adobe might not like it, but the usage shows how dominant its flagship product has become. On mobile though, Photoshop hasn't achieved the same kind of ubiquity or brand recognition. We've had official Photoshop apps of various types down the years, but none of them have really translated the power and feature se

Being too ambitious is a clever form of self-sabotage

There is a moment, just before creation begins, when the work exists in its most perfect form in your imagination. It lives in a crystalline space between intention and execution, where every word is precisely chosen, every brushstroke deliberate, every note inevitable, but only in your mind. In this prelapsarian state, the work is flawless because it is nothing: a ghost of pure potential that haunts the creator with its impossible beauty. This is the moment we learn to love too much. We becom

‘Jurassic World’ Characters Ranked, Based on How Much We Wanted Them to Get Eaten

With the release of Jurassic World Rebirth, we’re taking a look at the roster of characters from this latest era of the Universal Pictures and Amblin blockbuster franchise, where the dinosaurs tend to be the most memorable stars. Rexy, the T-Rex, reigns supreme, of course, but the old girl has been carrying the franchise on her back for over 30 years. When it comes to the humans of Jurassic World, have any of them hit the icon status of Jurassic Park’s original trinity? No one has come close to

xAI prepares Grok 4 Code as it plans to take on Claude and Gemini

xAI is preparing the rollout of Grok 4, which replaces Grok 3 as the new state-of-the-art model. Ahead of the rollout, testers on X have again spotted references to a few new Grok 4 models. One of the models is called "grok-4-prod-mimic," which reportedly excels at enterprise use cases like data extraction, coding, and text summarisation.

Druckmann and Gross co-wrote the second game, The Last

Grafana releases critical security update for Image Renderer plugin

Grafana Labs has addressed four Chromium vulnerabilities in critical security updates for the Grafana Image Renderer plugin and Synthetic Monitoring Agent. Although the issues impact Chromium and were fixed by the open-source project two weeks ago, Grafana received a bug bounty submission from security researcher Alex Chapman proving their exploitability in the Grafana components. Grafana describes the update as a "critical severity security release" and advises users to apply the fixes for th

Where is my von Braun wheel?

In 1962. There — that answers the clickbaity title right away. NASA had viable designs for rotating wheel space stations that could have given astronauts artificial gravity. Then, the Apollo program effectively killed them. While NASA’s lunar focus delivered the historic moonshot, it dismantled a promising engineering effort at Langley Research Center that might have revolutionized human spaceflight. That decision set us on a half-century trajectory of small, zero-gravity stations that continu

Conversations with a hit man

2 It should have been a night for Jim Leslie to savor. On July 8, 1976, the Louisiana State Senate passed what was known as the Right to Work Bill. One of the most fiercely debated pieces of legislation in decades, the law did away with mandatory union membership and allowed businesses to hire nonunion workers. Given the interests involved, this was a staggering achievement. Labor had a muscular presence in Louisiana, largely because it was controlled by organized crime. Developers were ordere

Experts Say These Are the Best Foods for Headaches

While eating a certain food or adjusting your diet won't provide a miracle cure for headaches or migraines, it may offer some relief. That is, in addition to maintaining your hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management.

"What helps one person may not help another, an

There's no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) (2021)

So you’ve heard about how fish aren’t a monophyletic group? You’ve heard about carcinization, the process by which ocean arthropods convergently evolve into crabs? You say you get it now? Sit down. Sit down. Shut up. Listen. You don’t know nothing yet. “Trees” are not a coherent phylogenetic category. On the evolutionary tree of plants, trees are regularly interspersed with things that are absolutely, 100% not trees. This means that, for instance, either: The common ancestor of a maple and a m

AI job predictions become corporate America’s newest competitive sport

In Brief In late May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei appeared to kick open the door on a sensitive topic, warning that half of entry-level jobs could vanish within five years because of AI and push U.S. unemployment up to 20%. But Amodei is far from alone in sharing aloud that he foresees a workforce bloodbath. A new WSJ story highlights how other CEOs are also issuing dire predictions about AI’s job impact, turning employment doom into something of a competitive sport. Several of these prediction
