gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-11-08 06:43:14

Once again, Tesla owners are coming for Elon Musk. The much-hyped electric car company is now facing a class-action lawsuit over claims that it did not deliver some Foundation Series Cybertrucks with requested roof-mounted LED off-road light bars, despite promotional promises. It seeks to represent all California buyers of the Foundation Series who were promised the off-road light bar but did not receive one. You can read the entirety of the lawsuit here.

7 Best Sunrise Alarm Clocks to Snag Before the Fall 2025 Time Change

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-11-09 06:20:00

The Casper Glow Light is one of the smallest lights I've tested, but it managed to be plenty bright to wake me up in the morning. Not only is this little light incredibly bright, it's also super simple to use with both physical controls and app setup. Within the Casper Glow app—which is unfortunately iOS only—you set up your wake-up time, and the Glow Light will start to brighten 30 minutes before that set time. You can also set how long you want your Glow Light to dim for, which it will use bot

Creating 3D Worlds with HTML and CSS (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Kevin Roche 2025-11-09 22:14:49

Last year I created a demo showing how CSS 3D transforms could be used to create 3D environments. The demo was a technical showcase of what could be achieved with CSS at the time but I wanted to see how far I could push things, so over the past few months I’ve been working on a new version with more complex models, realistic lighting, shadows and collision detection. This post documents how I did it and the techniques I used. View the demo Creating 3D objects The geometry of a 3D object is st

This Bright Dot May Be an Entirely New Type of Space Object

At first, the dot looked like any other star. Then the astrophysicists switched to polarized light and found themselves looking at an entirely unexpected sight. “Everything else disappeared, even the bright central black hole, and only this little dot remained,” Elena Shablovinskaia, an astrophysicist at Universidad Diego Portales in Chile and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany, told Gizmodo.

WIRED Tests Dozens of Air Purifiers a Year. Here’s What We Look For (2025)

If I put a box on its side and cannot grasp the product to lift it from its box, then that’s the first strike. WIRED considers accessibility, and this means handles and wheels on heavier air purifiers. When I review a unit, I think about those with less upper body strength moving the appliances, and whether they'd be able to maneuver it around their home.

A brazen attack on air safety is underway — here’s what’s at stake

theverge.com Darryl Campbell 2025-11-17 11:00:00

At the end of July, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) convened a three-day public hearing to investigate January’s mid-air collision over Washington, DC that killed 67 people. After the hearing, two conclusions were inescapable. First, the disaster should have been prevented by existing safety rules. And second, the government regulators responsible for air safety have become hesitant to enforce those rules, especially when it means standing up to industry demands for more flights

Is air travel getting worse?

Over the past couple of years, bad personal experiences with delays, testimonies from friends, and news or reactions to air travel incidents seem to have become much more common. It’s difficult to tell if these extra anecdotes reflect a change in the true rate of airline accidents and delays or if they instead result from fluctuations in the human social layer where confirmation bias, saliency, and mimesis can draw our concern far out of proportion.

Scientists Unveil Wild New Way to Explore the Edge of Space

Scientists often refer to the mesosphere as the “ignorosphere”—a region that’s too high for planes or weather balloons to explore, yet too low for satellites to probe. Despite our technological advances, we’ve yet to find a decent way to monitor this large stretch of air, which lies about 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface.
