Starbase injury rates outpace rivals as SpaceX chases its Mars moonshot

SpaceX employees are more likely to be injured while working at Starbase than any of its other manufacturing facilities, according to company worker safety records reviewed by TechCrunch. Starbase, a sprawling launch-and-manufacturing site that recently incorporated as its own Texas city, logged injury rates almost six times higher than the average for comparable space vehicle manufacturing outfits and nearly three times higher than aerospace manufacturing as a whole in 2024, according to Occup

How China’s Patriotic ‘Honkers’ Became the Nation’s Elite Cyber Spies

In the summer of 2005, Tan Dailin was a 20-year-old grad student at Sichuan University of Science and Engineering when he came to the attention of the People’s Liberation Army of China. Tan was part of a burgeoning hacker community known as the Honkers—teens and twentysomethings in late-’90s and early-’00s China who formed groups like the Green Army and Evil Octal and launched patriotic cyberattacks against Western targets they deemed disrespectful to China. The attacks were low-sophistication—

Garmin’s Morning and Evening Reports are so good that Fitbit should steal them

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve always believed that more is better when it comes to health-tracking metrics. If I’m wearing a GPS watch all day and all night, I want to know what it’s picking up and how I can best use that to my advantage. And when I always have a Garmin on my wrist, I know exactly how much data I have to look forward to. I know that I can tap into a Morning and an Evening Report on my Forerunner 970, and I’ve noticed that it’s made a few of my colleagues jealous. The

Scientists prove Android Earthquake Alerts system actually works pretty well

Google TL;DR Google’s Android Earthquake Alerts system crowdsources data from smartphone accelerometers to detect seismic activity. The system has detected over 18,000 earthquakes and alerted millions across nearly 100 countries. Users receive crucial seconds of warning, enabling them to take protective action before shaking begins. Google introduced Earthquake Alerts for Android devices back in 2020, and expanded the feature to cover all US states in September 2024. More recently, Google al

Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee' – what to know

Visitors to the United States will need to pay a "visa integrity fee," according to a provision of the Trump administration's recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The fee applies to all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas to enter, and cannot be waived. However travelers may also be able to get the fees reimbursed, according to the provision. Details about the new requirement are scant, which has resulted in "significant challenges and unanswered questions regarding implementation,"

15 Years of Building Jefit

Embrace the Grind: 15 Years of Building Jefit The Start of Something I Didn't Expect to Last 15 Years Fifteen years ago, Jefit wasn't a company. It wasn't even a business idea. It was just a project I started in my dad's living room in North Carolina, fresh out of college, working from my own laptop. I was broke and unsure about the future, frustrated by how hard it was to track workouts. There was no easy way to stay consistent or see real progress. I wasn't chasing a startup dream, jus

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

I Never Cared Much for Swords. Then I Had to Fight with One

On a grey November afternoon, clad in a borrowed—and somewhat smelly—fencing outfit, I spent two hours going through the basics of the aspiring duellist: saluting before putting on the protective mask, pinching the grip of the sword with the thumb and index finger, gliding back and forth while keeping the feet planted. But this wasn’t the kind of fencing you see at the Olympics—the dazzling speed of the athletes, electronic scoring, and seemingly nonsensical rules. The instructions came with a t

The Folding iPhone Is Getting Real (and Might Use Samsung Parts)

This may be the final year without a folding iPhone. New reports this week suggest that Apple will launch the long-rumored folding iPhone in 2026. The latest buzz suggests that Apple is working with Samsung Display to help make the crease-free screen for the folding iPhone. It's no secret that Apple has been tinkering with bendable screen designs for years. The company has filed various patents about screens that fold, scroll and even self-heal from scratches. Last year, Bloomberg reported that

Don't Fall for These Internet Pricing Traps From Your Provider

At CNET, we extensively cover different ways to lower your internet bill. But one major factor that is often overlooked is how you can protect yourself from internet pricing traps. According to a CNET survey, over 63% of adults in the US saw their internet prices increase last year. Even worse, more than half of those who complained about their bill increasing still experienced unreliable internet. Why and how does this happen? Many of the top internet service providers hike their prices after

The creepy AI era is here

Would you like Siri more if it had a face? Ever since Elon Musk added a weird anime girlfriend to Grok, I’ve been wondering if there’s a not-so-distant future where all of our AI assistants are much more clearly personified. Grok makes it feel deeply uncomfortable, but I’m not so sure it has to be that way: we’re basically just talking about Cortana. This week on The Vergecast, we’re talking all about AI, how powerful it can be in the home, and the uncomfortable feelings were getting talking to

Delta Air Lines is using AI to set the maximum price you’re willing to pay

Delta Air Lines is leaning into dynamic ticket pricing that uses artificial intelligence to individually determine the highest fee you’d willingly pay for flights, according to comments Fortune spotted in the company’s latest earnings call. Following a limited test of the technology last year, Delta is planning to shift away from static ticket prices entirely after seeing “amazingly favorable” results. “We will have a price that’s available on that flight, on that time, to you, the individual,”

I absolutely love and recommend these 5 Android games to play with one hand

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Despite hundreds of thousands of games on the Play Store, very few become comforting escapes from the harsh reality. Games that you can play anywhere and without any special skillset, with one motive: feeling relaxed instead of getting all riled up. With this in mind, I have handpicked games that require no prior experience in mobile gaming and can be picked up immediately. They don’t need gaming chops and can be run on most Android phones or tablets. None of t

Hundred Rabbits – Low-tech living while sailing the world

June 2025 For a few days, Pino became a land creature, living on stilts, while we scrubbed and re-painted the lower part of the hull. Our propeller had a bit of a wobble, which we hope is now corrected. We also battled with the old wheel quadrant and were finally able to remove it, at least a part of it. Boaters have frequently helped us while we were in boatyards, and we are finally able to pay it forw

Einstein Showed That Time Is Relative. But … Why Is It?

So, you’re driving a car at half the speed of light. (Both hands on the wheel, please.) You turn on the headlights. How fast would you see this light traveling? What about a person standing by the road? Would they see the light beam moving at 1.5 times the speed of light? But that’s impossible, right? Nothing is faster than light. Yes, it seems tricky. The problem is, our ideas about the world are based on our experiences, and we don’t have much experience going that fast. I mean, the speed of

'Eddington' Director Ari Aster Couldn’t Stand ‘Living in the Internet.’ So He Made a Movie About It

Like a lot of us, Ari Aster spent the summer of 2020 trapped inside and scrolling on social media. Also like a lot of us, the experience left him feeling pretty bad. “I was living on Twitter,” Aster tells WIRED, “and it was really agitating me.” But unlike most people, the director of Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau is Afraid wasn’t just doomscrolling on Twitter to pass the time. He was doing research. That summer, Aster wrote the script for his latest film, Eddington, a modern western set in

Google may be removing its iconic ‘G’ logo from Messages (APK teardown)

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Messages app could be getting a branding tweak that removes the famous “G” logo. It seems that the company plans to use the full “Google” wordmark in the app’s header going forward. The new Google Messages branding seems to be consistent with other Google apps, such as Photos, Calendar, Drive, and more. Google is constantly making subtle changes to the look and feel of its core apps, and we’ve discovered that Google Messages may be in line f

Our testing processes are designed to help you find antivirus tools that meet all of these crit

My Favorite All-in-One Kitchen Appliance Is on Sale for 20% Off

Too often, all-in-one kitchen appliances end up doing a lot of things poorly instead of doing one thing well. And, because some models have a lot of components, they can be a nightmare to clean. But the Chefman Everything Maker quickly won me over. The nonstick cooking surfaces heat up quickly and cleanup takes minimal effort (a serious win in my book). I've made crispy hash browns, gooey grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches and perfectly golden pancakes -- all in one compact machine. And it's
