Daring New Plan Lays Out Mission to a Black Hole

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-07 20:10:07

Fifty-six years after Disney filmmakers imagined what it would be like for a spacecraft crew to journey to a black hole in the 1979 movie The Black Hole, an astrophysicist has released a plan for a real interstellar mission to go where no spacecraft has gone before. Outlined in a new paper published today in iScience, the proposal is a two-pronged, surprisingly simple approach. First, scientists need to find a black hole that’s relatively nearby.

A Sonos Price Hike Is About to Make a Bad Situation Even Worse

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-07 20:12:48

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product. You could offer concessions (discounts in an effort to drive demand), swap your CEO (that’s a statement and a vibe shift), or you could pledge to do better and actually fix issues making people upset (imagine that!). One thing I would not recommend doing when times are tough, however, is raising prices, but Sonos seems to have been forced into this exact scenario. According to Sonos’ newish CEO, Tom Conra

2025 Subaru WRX tS review: A scalpel-sharp chassis lets this car dance

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-08 00:33:40

The Subaru WRX has always been the equivalent of an automotive shrug. Not because it lacks character but because it simply doesn't care what others think. It's a punk rock band with enough talent to fill stadiums but band members who don't seem to care about chasing fame. And the STI versions of yesteryear proved so talented that fame chased them. For 2025, Subaru updated the WRX to now include the tS, which at first glance appears to be the same flannel-wearing street fighter. But looks can be

United Airlines passengers across the country found themselves stranded, confused, and angry on Wednesday as a massive technology failure triggered a nationwide grounding of flights.

Overview Low-cost micro-units, often called single-room occupancies, or SROs, were once a reliable form of housing for the United States’ poorest residents of, and newcomers to, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other major U.S. cities. Well into the 20th century, SROs were the least expensive option on the housing market, providing a small room with a shared bathroom and sometimes a shared kitchen for a price that is unimaginable today—as little as $100 to $300 a month (in 2025 dollar
